Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

Upon hearing the sound, Cheng Yan turned his gaze and saw Fang Shixin lying on the open ground in front of the Pingxi Marquis's residence. His expression suddenly darkened.

After dismounting, he looked down at Fang Shixin with a deep frown: "What are you doing here? Performing magic tricks in front of the Marquis of Pingxi's residence?"

"Cheng Yan!" Fang Shixin looked at his cold face and his broad, tall figure, and felt her heart pounding.

This is her idol! She has never been this close to her idol before!

Fang Shixin belatedly realized that her posture of lying on the ground was not very graceful, so she quickly got up, clapped her hands, and was about to grab Cheng Yan's arm: "Cheng Yan, I..."

Cheng Yan took two steps back, avoiding her movements, and retreated further away with a hint of disgust.

Fang Shixin was about to step forward again, but two guards came up from behind Cheng Yan, grabbed her, pressed her hands behind her back, and forced her to kneel down.

Fang Shixin was just a weak woman, and her strength was no match for Cheng Yan's guards. She struggled hard, but she was pinned down and unable to move at all.

"Cheng Yan, what are you doing? How could you treat me like this? Let me go! Cheng Yan..."

"Respectfully address me as Marquis Pingxi." Cheng Yan took two steps back expressionlessly.

He wasn't really familiar with Fang Shixin at all. Even when they met, it was only a brief encounter, and they hadn't even exchanged a word. Yet she acted as if he and she were very close, which was truly disgusting.

He had originally wanted to ask her what she was making a scene for, but he was disgusted and immediately lost the desire to ask. He turned around and headed back into the mansion.

He'd be better off using that time to appease his wife.

"Wait, Cheng Yan!" Fang Shixin panicked when she saw him about to leave. She cried out, "Everything I've done is for you, all for you!"

Cheng Yan stopped and turned to look at her, his eyes cold and sharp, as if he were looking at a dead person.

"for me?"

"Yes." Fang Shixin nodded repeatedly, even though she was being held down. Looking at his face, she felt very wronged. "I did it all for you!"

Fang Shixin didn't think she had done anything wrong; she had done it all for Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan was a man of great renown in history, and a man of exceptional handsomeness and extraordinary talent.

However, the stain of Qin Yizhen on his life caused him to be repeatedly mentioned in later history, making him a frequent subject of unofficial histories and erotic novels.

She only wanted to separate the two of them; she only wanted to preserve his reputation for life. What did she do wrong?

Whether she plotted to have Liang Xize seduce Qin Yizhen, or she poisoned Qin Yizhen with anesthetic powder at the palace banquet to drive her crazy and embarrass her, making Cheng Yan hate her, she was right.

Everything she did was for him!

“My mother passed away when I was born,” he suddenly said.

"What?" Fang Shixin didn't understand what he meant.

"Do you want to marry that old bastard, Marquis Chengen, and become my stepmother? If so, you certainly have the right to meddle in my affairs. If that's what you're thinking, I'll grant your wish."

Fang Shixin was startled: "No, no, no, Cheng Yan, how could I possibly want to marry the Marquis of Chengen? How could that be..."

Everyone in Qindu knew that although the Cheng family was granted the title of Marquis of Chengen, their lives were extremely miserable. The Marquis of Chengen had his legs broken by Empress Dowager Cheng and was now paralyzed in bed.

She must be crazy to marry someone like that.

"Since you don't want to be my stepmother, what right do you have to meddle in my affairs?"

"What I do is none of your business. Why should you use my name to harm my wife?"

Cheng Yan had probably never seen such a disgusting person before. The greed and lust in her eyes were obvious at a glance, yet she still used the excuse of "for him" to hurt his wife.

That's disgusting.

Does that mean it's wrong for him to marry anyone else, and only marrying her is the right thing to do?

joke!

"No, no, no!" Fang Shixin shook her head vigorously. "I never intended to harm her. How could I do such a thing? I just... I just wanted to separate you two."

"Cheng Yan, you don't understand, being with her will only hurt you. I'm doing this for your own good!"

"How did she harm me?"

Cheng Yan found it absurd. How could Qin Yizhen be the one who ruined him when he was with her?

Even though she was a bit awkward, she was a kind-hearted person. She was tolerant of the servants and concubines in the mansion, so how could she possibly harm him?

She would rather die for him than harm him.

Cheng Yan knew that Qin Yizhen might not have romantic feelings for him yet, but her concern for him was genuine.

She was worried about him, afraid he would die, and wanted to be with him for a long, long time.

Last night, even though he went all the way to the end, she was probably willing. But for a moment, he felt his desire was relieved, but his heart felt empty.

It feels like something is missing.

Perhaps he was too greedy, wanting her true feelings, not something she would compromise or force for him.

If we have to say who harmed whom, then it was he who stole her away, marrying her when she was young, severing the marriage she should have had, and forcing her to spend her life as his wife, staying by his side.

"Tell me, how did she harm me?" Cheng Yan asked again.

Fang Shixin opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to start speaking.

However, when Cheng Yan saw her stammering and not speaking, his gaze sharpened: "Or are you talking nonsense to deceive me?"

Fang Shixin suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on her brow. She shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, no, I didn't lie to you. How... how could I possibly lie to you?"

"Your status with Qin Yizhen is awkward. If you get together with her, you will become the laughing stock of many people, tarnishing your reputation for life. Even in the future, people will write about you in unofficial histories and folk tales in a very unpleasant way."

"You have no idea how outrageous those people are. How could they write about you like that!"

Fang Shixin fell in love with this man from history.

He was excellent in every way; he was of noble status; he was an unparalleled contributor to the unification of the Qin Dynasty; in this vast history, he is undoubtedly the most significant figure.

He was invincible throughout his life, and wherever his sword pointed, nothing could resist his might.

Yet this seemingly perfect man, because he married Qin Yizhen, has this indelible stain on his record, which is repeatedly mentioned by later generations as a romantic affair.

This is his stain, his disgrace!

"I'm here to help you! I absolutely will not allow anyone to tarnish your reputation! Cheng Yan, you shouldn't have married Qin Yizhen, she doesn't deserve it!"

"If she doesn't deserve it, then who does?" Cheng Yan almost laughed after hearing this. "Is it you?"
