No pop-up ads, so refreshing! Thanks for your support! Sounds good to me ^_^... Chapter 106
I tightly hugged Ling's body, he was unable to exert too much strength because the medicine had just worn off, and also because he was afraid of hurting me and didn't dare push hard. So he couldn't break free from my grasp, but instead opened his mouth with a hint of hatred in his eyes: "Second sister, it's them, the South family, who ruined our family and caused us to be separated. I won't let him off!"
"If it weren't for your sister, you wouldn't even have the chance to say this, let alone talk about letting go?" Nan Chengyao smiled slightly, but his eyes were extremely cold: "Let go, your sister is still pregnant and can't take such turmoil."
The surging anger was rampant, but he didn't dare to make another move. The miserable pain and hatred in his eyes made my heart ache uncontrollably, yet I worried that his reckless behavior would squander his own chance of survival. In a state of urgency, I opened my mouth and said: "Ji, thanks to the prince's help, you're fine now, stop causing trouble!"
"He sneered and said: 'He first brought ruin to my family, now he's pretending to be a good person and letting me go, do I still have to thank him?'"
I grasped his arm tightly, closed my eyes and shook my head. My voice was extremely soft but I spoke word by word: "I just want you to live well."
He stiffened for a moment, and the originally furious breath slowly softened, as if he wanted to say something, but Nan Chengyao's voice had already faintly come, without any extra emotions...
"Horses and silver have already been prepared outside the gate, enough for you to travel to Beijing and settle down. Leave before dawn through the Anding Gate, no one will ask questions."
He said, throwing the "Zhan Lu" in his hand, and Nan Xian unconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it. His originally angry eyes looked at the "Zhan Lu" in his hand, slowly turning deep. After a long time, he raised his eyes and smiled sarcastically at Nan Chengyao...
"Your Highness isn't afraid that I'll return to haunt you? You won't kill me now, but you'll regret it later, because one day I'll return to the capital and make your Nan family pay for their crimes in blood!"
"Whoosh!"
He didn't look at me, but stared intently at Nan Chengyao. Nan Chengyao, however, seemed to think nothing of it and said calmly, "If you want to take revenge on me, first make sure you can leave the capital alive. The sky is about to brighten."
Her eyes were deep and mysterious as she looked at Nan Chengyao: "I won't accept your feelings, remember my words, I will come back one day."
"I, Nan Xiangyao, never owe anyone a favor when doing things."
His voice was actually not heavy, but there was a hint of determination and bleakness in his indifference. Every word sank into my heart, I turned back to see the faint blue color at the bottom of his eyes.
Before I could sort out the complicated emotions deep in my heart, Yan had already grabbed my hand: "Second sister, let's go!"
"Do you think I'd let you take her away?" Nan Chengyao's gaze turned icy as he looked at the hand holding mine, his originally calm tone also taking on a few hints of chill.
"Shouldn't she continue to stay with the enemy who killed her father and destroyed her family, living a life worse than death every day?" Zhen mocked.
Nan Chengyao's face stiffened for a moment before he slowly opened his mouth: "Life is not as good as death, but it is still living. Only by being alive can everything be possible."
He closed his eyes again and coldly said, "It's only one or two hours until dawn. At that time, you won't even be able to leave the capital, are you going to take her with you to die together?"
He grasped my hand tightly, looked into my eyes with an unprecedented seriousness and said: "Second sister, believe me, I won't let you suffer. We'll leave here first, then find another chance to come back for third sister. I will have a way, just trust me, don't worry about anything."
His eyes showed a deep black, hiding a hint of urgency and unmistakable tenderness, his tone was firm which made me slightly stunned, but not happy.
I silently sighed in my heart, if possible, I would rather he abandoned his identity and responsibility as Murong Liu, and truly indulged in the mountains and waters, living a life without constraints.
But as I looked at him, seeing the deep pain and persistence in his eyes, I knew that all of this would only be my wish.
However, I had no way of persuading him, and even if I did, he wouldn't listen.
"You can leave alone, or stay and wait for death. I won't let you take her with you." Nan Chengyao's cold, hard voice was tinged with a hint of displeasure as he turned to push open the door, and the sound of a horse whinnying followed him out.
I took a deep breath and pulled him up from the ground, dragging him towards the door: "Hurry up and leave, dawn is breaking."
He grasped my hand tightly: "If we leave, we'll go together; I couldn't possibly leave you alone here!"
I pushed him with all my might, while trying to struggle free from his grip on my right hand: "I won't go with you, hurry and leave! Did I use so much effort to rescue you just to have you stay here and wait for death?"
His stubborn temper flared up, and he refused to let go: "You and San Jie are the only relatives I have in this world. I currently can't rescue San Jie, but if I also can't protect you, what's the point of me living? I might as well die!"
No matter how I persuaded him, no matter how hard he tried, he just stubbornly refused to budge. Lifting his eyes to see the dawn breaking in the sky, he became even more anxious at heart.
I knew his temperament all too well, and I couldn't bear it any longer. Taking a deep breath, I gritted my teeth and said, "Let me go! I'm not even your sister!"
He turned a deaf ear and sneered, "You can actually say something like that! But I'm telling you, it's useless!"
"Do you think I'm fooling you? I wish it were so! But in fact, I am not your sister. The real Murong Qing is already dead!"
Perhaps it was because of the deep and heavy emotions in my tone that couldn't be disguised, he stiffened for a moment, staring at me silently.
I closed my eyes, adjusted my mood, and opened my mouth: "Pian, I've never deceived you, nor will I in the future. But I'm not your sister. Mr. Su saved me and your sister back then, for various reasons, he changed my appearance, letting me take on your sister's identity. And because I lost my memory, I thought I was Murong Qing all along, until recently when I went to Evil Doctor Valley, Mr. Su told me himself, that's when I knew. I won't deceive you, and neither will Mr. Su, this is absurd, but it's true..."
"Then who are you, and who is my sister?" he interrupted me.
"Your sister is already dead, and who I am doesn't matter." I didn't tell him about Sang Muqing, maybe it was selfish of me, but she's no longer in this world, telling Yi could only add to his sorrow. Maybe one day I'll tell him myself, but not now.
I looked into his eyes, almost using all my strength to say the next words, yet each word was clearer than ever.
"All along, the family you relied on has collapsed and can no longer provide you with shelter and glory; The people you trusted have also abandoned you, using your trust and even life to exchange for wealth, power, and status; Your impulsiveness almost killed you, and your only relative, Xiao Er, is still waiting for you to come and rescue her, but now you don't even have the ability to do so!"
He didn't say a word, just stared at me deeply, and I still forced myself to stand up straight, looking at him one word at a time: "So, you can't keep acting so recklessly from now on, you need to learn to grow up. Because from now on, the only person who can help you in this world is yourself. You must remember, from now on, the former young master of the Mu Rong family, who was born with a proud and arrogant personality, is dead. There will be no more Mu Rong Xiao, from now on your life is brand new, and the only person you can rely on is yourself, do you understand?"
His eyes showed deep shock, but still stared at my eyes without blinking: "And you? Just because we don't have a blood relationship, so you want to cut ties with me and from now on, just treat me as a stranger?"
I was just about to nod when he suddenly wrapped his arms tightly around me: "Don't say anything, because even if you did, I wouldn't believe it. I'm not a fool. That tune 'Thoughts of Returning Home', those feelings can't be fake."
I feel a slight warmth and dampness between my neck and shoulders, a sudden pang in the bottom of my heart, an instinctive urge to lift my head, but he doesn't let me.
He stretched out his hand and pressed my face firmly against his chest, his voice trembling slightly, but each word was firm as iron: "What you said is right, I don't have the ability to take you away now, but wait for me, one day I will come back, I won't let you wait too long, I swear."
Still remember the shocking swan's reflection (harem)
