In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

That very night, in a fit of rage, Mo Jiang took his sword and went to fight Xie Zhentian. At that time, he was capable of killing Xie Zhentian single-handedly.

However, An Lin couldn't let go of her scoundrel husband and pleaded for him, asking Mo Jiang to let him go.

Unable to bear it any longer, Mo Jiang had no choice but to leave with a heavy heart.

Mo Jiang did not return to the Xie family until An Lin passed away.

He was filled with grief and anger and wanted to kill Xie Zhentian, but in the end An Lin still wanted to protect him.

The child was also killed by Xie Zhentian.

With regret, Mo Jiang stopped venturing into the martial world and returned to the capital to take over the affairs of the Mo family.

He then paid no further attention to the Xie family's affairs, but he could never forget An Lin. He never married and could only adopt a young apprentice to carry on the Mo family's duties.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Mo Jiang, who had returned to the Mo family after practicing medicine, learned from the Prime Minister that the Xie family had another son. He then rushed over to confirm whether Xie Ze was An Lin's child.

As expected, Xie Zhentian had lied to him back then; An Lin's child was still alive.

Those present felt a surge of resentment after hearing Mo Jiang's story.

Mo Xi, who was listening nearby, was indignant and cursed loudly:

"Xie Zhentian is truly inhuman, to cruelly harm his own wife like that. He's a beast, no, he's even worse than a beast."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

Xie Zhentian's son was also present!

He quickly covered his mouth and secretly glanced at his senior brother's expression.

Xie Ze's expression remained calm, as if he had simply listened to someone else's story and it had nothing to do with him. There was no significant change in his expression.

He did not feel uncomfortable at all because of Mo Xi's insults towards his father.

Across from him, Mo Jiang looked sadly at Xie Ze and couldn't help but sigh softly, apologizing to him:

“Aze, it’s your godfather’s fault. It took so long to find out about you. If I had known sooner, I wouldn’t have let you suffer like this by your father’s side. And I wouldn’t have let Anlin down.”

"... "

Xie Ze's expression darkened slightly. After hearing the story, he slowly began to understand. His mother must have been in a state of despair before she passed away.

She was betrayed by the person she trusted most, who even caused her death. Even her own child blames her for her selfishness…

Xie Ze gripped the cup tightly, his pursed red lips turning white, suppressing his distress as he replied to Mo Jiang.

“Senior, this is not your fault, and you have not wronged Mother. It is all my father’s fault.”

Mo Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of joy flashing across them.

“Aze, is that what you think too? Your godfather thought you would side with your father, just like your mother did.”

"No, I won't be like my mother."

After all, he knew some things about his father.

Xie Zhentian not only killed his own wife, but also tried to kill his own child. Why would Xie Ze still consider the fate of this devil?

Speaking of the Black Hawk Dark Pavilion, Xie Ze had an idea and tentatively asked Mo Jiang:

"Senior Mo, are you familiar with the Black Hawk Dark Pavilion?"

"The Black Hawk Dark Pavilion of the martial arts world?"

"Correct."

Mo Jiang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded:

"This Dark Pavilion changed its leadership a long time ago, and the leader is even more mysterious. He often kills innocent people indiscriminately in the martial world, seemingly to steal something. But my godfather retired from the martial world a long time ago and didn't learn much about it. He also doesn't know much about this Dark Pavilion."

Xie Ze seemed to want to glean some information from this, so he continued to ask:

"You said it had a new group of people a long time ago, when was that?"

"It should be when I leave the martial world."

"... "

Xie Ze's eyes darkened slightly, a surge of hatred filling his heart.

It turned out that those people were indeed sent by his father to kill him.

Today I could have seriously told Wanwan to marry me.

However, all of his thoughts have now been disrupted by his cruel father.

Since her father was willing to kill him, it would be very dangerous for Wanwan to marry him.

Regardless of whether Wanwan is the daughter of the martial arts alliance leader, given her father's insane mindset, he would definitely harm Qiao Wanwan, so he dared not gamble.

Xie Ze didn't want anyone to hurt Wanwan, and he didn't want Wanwan to be tortured to death like his mother.

Xie Ze knew that he was not strong enough now, and after being used as a test subject for his father's medicine, he had no ability to protect Qiao Wanwan.

Therefore, he has already decided that he still cannot let Wanwan marry him.

Xie Ze lowered his eyelids, his heart aching, and a layer of sorrow settled in his eyes.

Seeing that Xie Ze's expression was not good, Mo Jiang asked:

"Aze, did something happen to you that you came here today?"

"Yes, Senior Mo, I heard the story you told me about your mother. I know you harbor resentment towards your father, and so do I. Therefore, I would like to cooperate with you."

Mo Jiang's eyes widened slightly, listening to Xie Ze's words with a hint of disbelief. A slow smile curved his lips as he asked:

How do you want to cooperate with me?

"Destroyed everything my father had."

"Aze, are you serious?"

"Yes, I know some of my father's secrets, and I think they'll be very useful to you. Although he's my father, he's also my enemy, isn't he?"

"Hahaha, good. It's best that you think that way, Aze. I believe Anlin in heaven would support you in doing this."

"... "

Xie Ze smiled, knowing he had his own interests in doing so.

It's impossible to have Senior Mo come directly to our door to kill us now.

Because behind Xie Zhengtian is a huge secret organization, to completely defeat it, we can only slowly dismantle the secret organization first, and then wipe out Xie Zhengtian, the mastermind behind it all.

Only in this way can he possibly live a happy life with Qiao Wanwan in the future.

...

Qiao Wanwan was restless in the courtyard.

Sitting on the stone chair, half of her body lazily slumped on the stone table, her delicate almond-shaped eyes staring straight at the courtyard gate, her fingertips absentmindedly playing with the wooden goose on the table.

These geese were originally a pair, but one of them separated, seemingly waiting for the other to arrive.

"Hey!"

Qiao Wanwan sighed softly.

After Xie Ze left last night, he never came back to look for her.

She didn't know how the other party had responded to her inquiry.

Although she had no intention of actually marrying into the Xie family, she still had some expectations in her heart.

She herself was unsure what she was really thinking.

Standing behind Qiao Wanwan, Chunxia couldn't help but feel sorry for her as she watched her mistress staring blankly at the courtyard gate like a statue waiting for her husband.

"Miss, the sun is so strong in this courtyard, let's go inside and wait."

"!"

Qiao Wanwan, having her thoughts guessed by Chunxia, ​​pouted and denied it:

"What are you waiting for? I'm just sunbathing here."

"Oh."

Chunxia didn't expose her, and quietly waited beside her.

Finally, the person appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Miss, look! Young Master Xie is here."

"!!"

When Qiao Wanwan saw the figure appear at the door, her heart skipped a beat, and she jumped up from her chair.

Seeing her mistress so excited, Chunxia secretly covered her mouth and smiled.

I quickly helped her tidy up her slightly disheveled hair.

Xie Ze rushed back from outside and went straight to Qiao Wanwan's guest courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, he saw the woman waiting for him, her face showing a slight expression of joy.

Xie Ze felt a pang of sadness seeing her so expectant.

Because he didn't bring any good news.

The man's thin lips parted slightly as he called out to the woman, his words unspoken.

“Wanwan…”

The woman thought to herself, "The other party must have brought some good news, right?"

She put on a slightly arrogant expression, crossed her arms, pretended not to care, and glanced at him disdainfully.

"What are you doing here now?"

"... "

Xie Ze glanced at Chun Xia behind Qiao Wanwan, as if he wanted to say something to Qiao Wanwan alone.

Spring and Summer nodded knowingly.

"Miss, Chunxia has gone downstairs first."

"Ah."

After Chunxia left the courtyard, the man slowly walked towards the woman.

His beautiful eyes stared intently at Qiao Wanwan's face, as if he could never tire of looking at her, his expression carrying a faint sadness.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable under the man's intense gaze, Qiao Wanwan reached up and touched her cheek, saying strangely:

"What, is there something on my face?"

"No."

"Then what are you doing..."

Are you just staring at me without saying anything?

Before she could finish speaking, the other person reached out and pulled her into their arms.

"... "

The man buried his face in her neck, and all she could hear was his bitter apology right next to her ear.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry. I really want to be with you, but it's not possible now. I'm sorry, I can't marry you."
