C20 Saviour Saviour Saviour

Hearing Princess of Southern Chu's words, Jingyi asked in a slightly angry tone, "Why is my jade pendant with you?"

Hearing this, Princess of Southern Chu smiled and immediately said, "I always thought that General Han was a daring person. Now it seems like... tsk tsk..." She turned her head to look at me and then said, "But I can understand that you do need to do this now."

What did she mean? Was she saying that Jingyi deliberately said this in order to cover up in front of me? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at him.

He didn't look at me, but glared at Princess of Southern Chu. When he reached out his hand, he said coldly, "Return the jade pendant to me!"

"Okay!" Princess of Southern Chu agreed readily and handed the jade back to Jingyi.

After getting the jade pendant, Jingyi reached out his hand and grabbed me. He turned around and wanted to leave.

"Don't forget, you still owe me an explanation!" Hearing what Princess of Southern Chu said behind me, my heart suddenly felt sour. From this moment on, I have been waiting for Jingyi's explanation. However, not only did he not speak when he got into the carriage, he also did not mention anything when he returned to the manor.

When we were about to take off our clothes and rest, I finally could not hold it in anymore. I asked him, "About the jade pendant..."

But before I could ask, he interrupted me. "It's getting late, let's rest."

There is indeed something I do not know, and he does not intend to explain it to me. My heart is filled with indescribable frustration.

This is the first time I have not slept for the entire night, the first time I have something in my heart that I have to endure and not say it out loud.

The next morning, just as we were having breakfast in our room, he was called over by his father-in-law. Tangtang saw that only the two of us were left, so she asked, "Madam, did you and Young General quarrel?"

I shook my head. We did not fight, but there was indeed a problem.

"Since you came back last night, you all had a worried look on your face. This servant just came this morning and saw you like this. You said that it was nothing, do you believe it yourself?"

"Me?" I looked at Tangtang in confusion, "What do I look like?"

"Your eyes are already black and there are still traces of blood in your eyes." Tangtang paused for a moment and then said, "You... did not sleep for the entire night, right?"

I did not reply. After a long time, I opened my mouth and said, "Get ready. We will go to the North Mountain to stay for a period of time."

"Mingyou Lake?" Tangtang asked. I nodded slightly and stopped talking.

...

"Madam, are we just going to leave like this?" Tangtang asked.

"I have already left a message for him. Just go and call a car."

I left a message but did not tell him where I went. Since he didn't want to tell me about the jade pendant, and I couldn't ignore it, So, the plan is now. The only thing we can do is separate for a while and give each other some time.

After getting into the carriage, Tangtang and I left the city. After walking for half a day, we finally arrived at the small wooden house beside the Ming You Lake at the waist of the North Mountain.

It was already noon. Tangtang put down her things and went to prepare lunch for me. At this moment, I felt a little sleepy. I laid down on the bed of the small wooden house and slowly fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, I was woken up by hunger. The sky was slightly dark and my mood fell into depression once again.

The moment I woke up, I almost thought that I was dreaming. Jingyi, he was actually sitting beside my bed.

I suddenly sat up and looked at him. "Why are you here?"

"Why am I here? You don't know?" He frowned slightly, and there was a hint of blame in his tone.

He should be angry at me and blaming me for leaving the residence on my own.

After a moment of silence, I asked again, "How did you find me?"

"Is that important?" He asked back.

Yes, it's not important, but is it important? Are you willing to tell me?

I lowered my head and did not speak, my heart filled with anger. A moment later, I heard him say, "Get up and pack up, come back with me."

"I won't!" I didn't know where I got such courage from, so I directly rejected him.

I thought that he would be angry, that he would leave in anger, but his attitude suddenly became gentle. His tone was gentle as he said to me, "Be good, stop messing around."

With him like this, I'm not that angry anymore. After thinking for a while, I said, "I want to know about the jade pendant."

"I'm not telling you because I'm afraid you'll think too much."

"If you don't tell me, I'll think too much."

I don't think he would know how I spent last night.

We fell into silence again. I am waiting for his explanation, and he should be preparing to tell me.

"Since you want to know, then I will tell you everything about the jade pendant."

Looking at his expression, he must have made a big decision. My heart instantly tensed up.

"Last summer, my father and I were ordered to go to the Southern Territory to fight the enemy. As the vanguard, I was ordered to sneak into the occupied Luzhou City to investigate the enemy's situation. Unexpectedly, I was ambushed by the enemy..."

Halfway through his sentence, He was suddenly silent. I urgently asked him: "After that?"

"After that... I was rescued by a woman. In order to thank her, I gave her the only valuable jade pendant I had."

"And then?" I asked.

"Then what happened last night happened. I was very curious why the jade pendant was in her hands, but I was worried that you would think too much, so I didn't ask anything at that time."

"You plan to investigate afterwards?" Thinking that he would carry me to see Princess of Southern Chu behind my back, I felt sad again.

He nodded slightly. After a moment of silence, I asked again, "I want to know who the woman who saved you is and what identity she has and why she saved you."

At this moment, what I am more curious about is her savior.

"My wife, I'll explain these things to you in the future. Can you follow me back to the city first?"

Looking at the slightly dark sky outside, I'm a little hesitant. I haven't fully understood the situation yet. I'm afraid that once I go back, I'll put the two of us in a deadlock again.

I always felt that Jingyi had a special relationship with the woman who had saved her.

Perhaps I'm too suspicious, but even if it's just my own suspicion, it still causes me to be estranged from him.

"No." I decisively rejected him and then said, "I have a knot in my heart that I can't get along with you as usual. Before I go back, I must find out everything."

Hearing this, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing him like this, I have determined my guess. He must have a special relationship with the woman who saved him.

"I want to know the truth. Even if the truth... No matter how hurtful it is, I still want to know."

That's right, I am like this. I would rather be injured by the truth than live in deception.

"I don't know the name of the woman who saved me, I don't know her identity, and I don't even know why she saved me. But..."

Saying this, he stopped. I waited for a while longer. I didn't see him continue speaking. I was anxious. I asked, "But what?"

He still lowered his head and replied after a while, "She made a condition, saying that she wanted to use her life to exchange for my wife's position."

My heart skipped a beat. Then, I felt a sharp pain. I suppressed my emotions and asked, "You agreed?"

"Of course not! However..." He paused for a moment and said, "I didn't refuse either." At the end of his sentence, he clearly lost his confidence.

That was his savior. Of course, he wouldn't refuse. Although he didn't agree, tacitly agreeing was equivalent to agreeing.

At this moment, my heart sank to the bottom, and all of his past happiness was instantly destroyed.

He said that in the past, he didn't do anything wrong to me, much less in the future. However, what was this?

If that woman had come to ask him to agree to marry her, then he probably wouldn't have refused, right?

"You already know everything, can you come back with me now?" He carefully asked me.

I often sighed, then looked up at him and said, "I want to stay here for a while, alone."

"Wife..."

It's getting late, quickly go back. "

"I was afraid that you would be like this, that's why I didn't plan to tell you before!"

"If you do these things without telling me, I don't think I'll ever see you again in this lifetime."

This is the first time I truly understand myself. So it turns out that in terms of feelings, I'm such a petty man.

"I didn't do anything wrong to you. Is there a need for you to treat me like this?" His tone was slightly angry, as if he had used all his patience. After a pause, he said, "Don't you think it's unreasonable for you to do this?"

Hearing this, apart from my heartache, I became even more angry. He still hasn't done anything that has wronged me? He tacitly agreed to the engagement with other people and even wanted to find Princess of Southern Chu behind my back to investigate the jade pendant. What did he take me for?

He even said that I was unreasonable, that I was unreasonable? I could not help but laugh bitterly. After a moment, I asked him, "What do I count as in your heart?"

"Of course it's my wife!" His attitude was very firm, but in my eyes, it was so ironic.

"Is that so?" Tears flowed down my face. I used my fingers to quickly wipe them away. Then, I asked him, "Is that so?" In your eyes, I'm just an unreasonable fool, right?"

I don't know if it was my tears that touched him or my words that made his heart ache, but the anger on his face instantly disappeared. He leaned forward and wanted to hug me, but I quickly dodged to the side of the bed. I didn't want him to touch me. At this moment, my heart rejected him.

The pain would only hurt if I loved him deeply. I should love him very much. Otherwise, my heart wouldn't be so sad now.

"Don't be like this, okay?" His voice was a little choked up, as if it was more heartbreaking than my tears.

"You go." I don't want to talk to him, I don't want to see him. At least for now, I don't want to face him.

I need time to calm my emotions. I need time to locate our relationship.

If he really... really wants to marry that woman who saved him, how will I face her? Will I accept it? If I can't accept it, what can I do?

Although we have only known each other for a short period of time and we have not even gotten married for ten days, my feelings for him are already very deep. He is the man I have decided to spend the rest of my life with. Other than my father and big brother, he is the only man I want to rely on. And now, everything was broken.

He was no longer the Han Jingyi who doted on me. Just now, he said that I was unreasonable. He made me know him again. At the same time, I realized my position in his heart.

"What will you do if I leave? Do you want me to leave you alone in this wilderness?"

"Leave!" I emphasized my tone. Perhaps it was because I felt too wronged that I became so angry.

He saw my determination and said after a long time, "Just one night. Tomorrow morning, you must come back with me."

He didn't allow me to say anything else. After saying this, he turned around and left.

This was destined to happen again. It was a sleepless night...
