Chapter 108

"Back then, Fan Siying bribed us to push open the door early the next morning and catch them together."

"She also told us to bring as many people as possible, the more the better, because then the eldest son of the Song family would have to marry her."

"We were a little scared at the time and didn't dare let too many people know, so we only found a few people..."

As the two slowly explained the situation, Zhao Hong immediately said, "That's right, we found those two back then. They are distant relatives of the Fan family, and I can testify to that!"

Fan Siying was so angry at Zhao Hong that she almost fainted!

All pretenses were torn away, and her ugly, calculating side was completely exposed to everyone.

"Are you trying to force me to my death?!"

She screamed hysterically, questioning Song Yanzhou with all her might, "I am still your wife, even if there is no affection between us, I have stayed in the Song family for two whole years!"

Even if I haven't done anything particularly meritorious, I've still put in a lot of effort. Now, just because of that woman Luo Qingyin, you're going to completely ruin me!

"You reap what you sow; it's you who's pushing me harder, never me."

Song Yanzhou's gaze was cold and unaffected by Fan Siying's breakdown and madness. He was like a cold moon in the sky, lonely and desolate, not to be defiled.

"Back then, I was the one who mistakenly trusted others. I thought you were an innocent girl who was implicated by me, and I thought that even if there was no affection between us after you married into the family, I would not mistreat you."

Only after we got married did I realize your true colors, and that everything was a trap you had set.

You said you had no other desires, only that you wanted to marry into the Song family for a stable life because you were having a hard time at your mother's house.

“You have lied to people again and again, bullied my sister, taken advantage of my mother, and allowed your family members to come to our door demanding money at will. Your behavior shows no respect for my family.”

I have already done everything I could to divorce you, and now you've ended up like this—it's all your own fault!

Fan Siying was extremely annoyed by Song Yanzhou's unmoved attitude.

She had clearly seen his gentle smile at Luo Qingyin and heard his doting voice when he spoke to Luo Qingyin, but he was extremely cold when facing her.

No matter how much she tried to please him, he remained unmoved, as if he wouldn't care even if she died in front of him.

"Song Yanzhou, how cruel you are!"

Fan Siying's eyes were red, filled with a deep-seated hatred.

"That's right! So what if I did everything? You pride yourself on being smart, but weren't you Song family members completely manipulated by me?"

Everyone says I'm not good enough for you, but neither you nor Luo Qingyin are as smart as me. So what if you're a perfect match, a match made in heaven? You still have to marry me.”

"Luo Qingyin, I really didn't expect you to be so persistent, to wait for him without getting married!"

Fan Siying turned around, looked angrily at Luo Qingyin, and then couldn't help but laugh.

"You're such a fool to become an old maid that everyone in the capital laughs at for a man like that!"

"Song Yanzhou, do you think you've kept it a secret? Let me tell you, Luo Qingyin already knew!"

On the day you were caught in bed with someone else, Luo Qingyin happened to come looking for you, and that's when she stumbled upon it!

But she couldn't say anything; she could only hide in a corner and cry secretly, watching helplessly as you married her and brought her home!

Even if we divorce, she'll be sickly from excessive worry. If you marry her now, a sickly woman and a cripple—what a perfect match!

Amid Fan Siying's hysterical mockery, Song Yanzhou looked at Luo Qingyin with red eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.

Qingyin knew all along?

Did she know all this, so she's been waiting for him all this time?

The thought of this possibility sent a shiver down his spine, and the guilt he had been harboring reached its peak at that moment.

He always thought she resented him and hated him, so he was ashamed to see her and had no courage to see her again.

Over the past two years, the only thing that could comfort him was that at least he hadn't delayed Qingyin's life, even if she hated him.

She should have hated him.

But if she knew all this, yet pretended to believe him, watched him get married, sent him to the battlefield, and even... remained unmarried for his sake...

How much hardship and pain did this seemingly frail girl endure?

Tears streamed down Luo Qingyin's face as she gazed at the figure ahead, her clear eyes filled with heartache.

She understood, she understood everything.

She understood Song Yanzhou's pain and lack of choice; given the choices of the entire Song family and herself, he chose his family.

If it were her, she would make the same choice. She couldn't let her own feelings drag down her entire family.

If he actually did that, he wouldn't be the Brother Song she had always admired.

So when he pretended to be heartless and said those words to her, she played along.

At least that way he could feel more at ease when he went to the battlefield. But whenever she saw the ginseng supplements that he asked other friends to send to her under various pretexts, she felt both amused and wanting to cry.

He can't let her go.

How could she possibly let go?

Luo Huaili was completely stunned by this sudden truth, and said dumbfounded, "So it was all forced, a setup?"

"Brother Song, why didn't you tell me sooner!"

Luo Huaili was at a loss for words. Thinking about how he had not only scolded and hit Song Yanzhou before, but also mocked him in every way a couple of days ago, he couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

He turned his head and saw his second sister with tears streaming down her face, and fell into a deep silence.

After all that fuss, was he the only one who didn't know?

Song Ruozhen and Song Zhiyu never expected that Luo Qingyin already knew the truth. She kept it from everyone, making everyone think she was unaware...

At this moment, Song Ruozhen felt a deep respect for her future sister-in-law.

This kind of affection is truly rare.

This farce only came to a complete end after Dong Hanzhou and Xu Yingqiao arrived.

The Fan family was driven out, and everything returned to normal.

Song Ruozhen and Luo Huaili exchanged a glance, both of them tacitly agreeing that they should give Song Yanzhou and Luo Qingyin a chance to be alone.

However, just as Luo Qingyin was about to leave, Yao Jinsheng stopped her.

"Miss Luo, don't forget that you came here today to meet me. Our parents have already arranged this. How can you be so fickle?"

A cold glint appeared in Yao Jinsheng's eyes. The feigned gentle demeanor on his face had vanished, leaving only displeasure and malice.

“Young Master Yao, this is only our first meeting. We are not engaged, and I would never be considered promiscuous.”

Luo Qingyin frowned. She didn't like Yao Jinsheng, but she was under pressure from her family and knew she couldn't delay any longer.

However, the fierce-looking man before them was so different from the gentle and refined man they had seen before that it made them instinctively feel afraid.

“You came to see me today, but you secretly met another man on the way. Isn’t that promiscuous enough?”

"Let me tell you, Song Yanzhou is a cripple. He'll never be able to stand up again. You won't have a good ending if you marry him!"
