Chapter 432: Even If We Were Through

at that time, Quan Qinglu burst into laughter and said to the noble young men who came with him: "Look, Miss Ye Si is such a fool. I tell her to do whatever, she does it. Even if I push her off a tre...That man was Quán Qīngyǐn. 。Ji Rong thought for a moment, then pointed to the gate of the mansion with her finger, meaning she would go in first. 。Ye Wen nodded and sent them off with spiritual energy. 。When they were the only two left outside, Quan Qing and she, she dispelled her invisibility spell. Suddenly, she was revealed in the darkness. 。

Without the invisibility spell, every inhale and exhale made a sound. The person standing at the front abruptly turned around, staring in surprise at Ye Wenyan who suddenly appeared behind him. After a long while, he stammered, "Wenyan, you... when did you come out"

He sounded flustered, his hands unsure whether to bring them forward or keep them behind him.

The man subconsciously took a few steps toward her, and said with some awkwardness: "I was just standing at your doorstep for a while, I'll be leaving soon." 。"Wen Yan, you... if you're tired, just go back quickly. If you're not tired, then, stay with me for a while, okay"

Ye Wen Yan nodded and moved to the side, sitting directly on the steps at the entrance of Ye Mansion. 。With a flower in hand, he cast an illusion spell. The night guards at the mansion heard nothing of their conversation and could not see the two figures seated by the gate. 。Even if a night watchman were to pass by, they wouldn't be able to spot them. 。Quan Qingyin watched her raise her skirt and sit down, and immediately remembered how she used to go up and down the mountains with him, catching fish and birds, just like a tomboy, completely without the shyness and coquettishness of a young lady. 。He truly liked her spirited and independent nature. It didn't matter if she was beautiful or not, it was just that her personality matched his. Just seeing her made him feel relaxed and happy. 。Seeing him still standing there staring at himself, Ye Wen patted the spot beside him, "Your Highness, sit down." 。“You…would let me sit” “It’s nothing to do with whether I want to or not.” 。"Ye Wen said frankly, 'Since we've met here, there's definitely something we need to talk about.'" 。I've already sat down. If you don't sit down, I'll have to look up at you to talk, which is tiring and awkward. 。He chuckled, “You’re still the same, saying whatever comes to mind.” 。Since the little girl was so carefree, he couldn't be too awkward either. So he sat beside her, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Don't you hate me" "Hate you for what" Ye Wenyan countered, "Hate you for saving me twice Or hate that you've been secretly protecting me all my life""I..." He didn't know what to say, his words getting stuck right there. 。Yet, Ye Wen continued the conversation under the night sky. She said: “Perhaps I should hate you. Hate that you deceived me and made me mistakenly think Quan Qinglu was a good person. From childhood to adulthood, my entire heart and soul were devoted to him, never wavering for a moment...” 。She even tried every means to ask my grandfather to arrange a marriage for me, wholeheartedly wanting to marry into the Duke of Su's mansion. She went so far as to offer her life for this. 。Well, I guess it's time to hate. 。He was slightly surprised, “You know everything Wen Yan, I, I didn’t mean to…” He wanted to say that he had no choice, that his family background was important and he couldn't or wouldn't say anything. 。He also wanted to say that he didn't actually intend for her to consummate the marriage with Quan Qinglu. He just wanted her to marry into the Su Wangfu first, and then he would take action immediately, replacing his brother and truly being with her. 。But as soon as he thought of the night on the second day of the twelfth lunar month when Ye Wen stabbed himself, all his reasons disappeared. 。 “I’m sorry” 。"A thousand words, in the end, all that remains is this: 'I'm sorry.'" 。"You have nothing to apologize to me for," Ye Wen said. "The one who should apologize is the deceased Miss Ye Si." 。She looked intently at Quan Qingyin, her expression serious as she told him, "The Ye Sijie from before is dead. No matter what grievances or affections you had, they all ended the moment she plunged that knife into herself." 。From then on, in my life, whether it's you or Quan Qinglu, you are nothing more than a stranger. 。"Or..." She hesitated, forcing a wry smile. "Or perhaps, only you are a stranger. I still wouldn't let Quán Qīnglù go." 。Including the night red makeup, owing me my life, I will have it back sooner or later. 。As she said this, a cold light flashed in her eyes, which could no longer be concealed. 。"Quan Qingyin was unwilling to accept it. "Wen Yan, why are you a stranger""If not a stranger, what else could I be" she retorted, "Could I possibly marry into Su Wangfu again Your legal wife is Ye Hongzhuang now. I have cleanliness issues on this front, and I absolutely won't share my husband with anyone. Since you already have a legal wife, our past relationship was severed at that very moment."。But that Zhengfei wasn't the one I married. 。"It was your plan, wasn't it" she looked at Quan Qingyin, "You thought you had everything planned out perfectly, but you overlooked the fact that the Ye family and Empress Dowager Li had another deal going on behind the scenes." 。In that situation, you bear undeniable responsibility. And for me, no matter how you orchestrate things, my beloved shouldn't stand by and watch me marry another man. 。You have your grand ambitions, and I have my convictions. Loyalty is paramount in my heart, while in your world, a thousand-year legacy is irreplaceable. 。 。“ She was about to get up, when Quan Qingyin subconsciously tugged her back. Her movement stopped at the moment she grasped the hem of her skirt, her outstretched hand unsure whether to continue holding on or pull it back. 。Ye Wen lightly sighed, "Let go. Since we've made everything clear this time, there probably won't be another chance to chat like this." 。What you do is none of my concern, but if one day your actions infringe upon my interests or harm those I want to protect, I will unhesitatingly stand against you. 。But if you remain a quiet and unassuming Duke, I will never seek you out to cause trouble for you. 。As for that night's crimson makeup, you were able to vent the anger of the past Fourth Miss for yourself. I am grateful. 。As for that Quan Qinglu, who is now nowhere to be found, if one day he falls into my hands, I fear he won't be any better off than Ye Hongzhuang is now. 。 “Actually, when you put it that way, we're quite similar, aren't we” She said this and suddenly burst into laughter. "Wen Yan..." 。A profound sadness surged into Quan Qingyin's eyes, so much that even the heavens and earth seemed to share in her grief. 。He said, "Wen Yan, as long as you say the word, I'm willing to give up that so-called great ambition. It wasn't what I wanted in the first place, nor was it something I desired. The only reason I did this was to replace Quan Qinglu and become the true Sixth Prince, so that I could be with you." 。But now you say our past connection is severed, then what meaning does everything I've done have Night Crimson Makeup wasn't married by me, but by Quan Qinglu. You can't blame her on me. 。" No, you are now Quan Qinglu. There is no more Quan Qingyin in this world. " 。Even if you accomplish your great ambitions in the future, you will still have to live your life under the name Quan Qinglu. 。Having accepted someone's identity, one must also accept their karma. Even a child understands this. How can you not You are Quan Qinglu, so who cares whether he was the one to marry her in red that night or you What difference does it make” She stood there for a while, then said after a long pause, "Your Highness wouldn't be surprised why I'm still outside your mansion at this late hour. In fact, I just returned from your residence…" 。I saw you putting on your night makeup and I also saw the grand fire at the Duke of Su's Mansion, and I even saw the Regent hurrying to see you. 。To be honest, before tonight, I never thought you and the former Sixth Prince were two completely different people. 。So I'm not in a good mood right now. It turns out that for the past ten years, I have been wrong about everything. I was so focused on marrying Sixth Prince and even shamelessly pressured my grandfather to ask the late emperor for a marriage decree. From beginning to end, it's all been a joke. 。I don't know how others would feel about this kind of situation, but I think it's rather sad. 。Betting your life on it, only to end up with a complete mess... Whoever was in that position wouldn't feel good about it, would they Sixth Prince, go back. Don't come again. 。She pulled her skirt hem back from his grasp and turned to walk towards the front gate of the mansion. 。Quan Qinglu stood up from the ground and hurried after her for two steps, still calling out to her in that mournful voice: "Wen Yan" 。"

Ye Wen charged at the back and waved his hand, “Stop yelling, it's too late.” 。The former Miss Ye Si from the past didn't ultimately have that fortune, and now I, no longer desire that fortune. 。She turned to look at him, her gaze serious and honest. At this moment, Quan Qing suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. 。Because in Ye Wenyan's eyes, he could no longer see the former eagerness, dependence, and adoration. 。He finally understood why she always mentioned "the Fourth Miss of the Past" . It was a farewell, goodbye to herself and goodbye to him. 。But he didn't want to say goodbye. 。But how could he say thatStanding before him was such a carefree young woman, how could he possibly be the kind of scoundrel who would cling to the table after losing a bet She would despise him, wouldn't she And he would despise himself! But if he didn't cling to the table, their connection would be severed completely. 。“Wen Yan” 。"His voice was a little hoarse, "At least for one last meeting, we shouldn't be strangers. " 。" is an enemy 。She reminded him again, "You are Quan Qinglu, and Quan Qinglu and I have an irreconcilable grudge." 。If you want to keep the throne secure, we need to keep this feud going, for the eyes of outsiders. 。"Then if there were no outsiders watching" he seemed to see a glimmer of hope, "Wenyan, if there were no outsiders watching, wouldn't we not have to act that way Like now, at least we can talk properly." 。“

She still shook her head, “Sixth Highness, look at my face now, isn't it very pale” Saying this, Ye Wenyan suddenly grasped Quan Qingyin’s hand, “Feel my body temperature again, isn’t it cold My face is the color of a dead person, and my body is the body of a dead person” 。Since then, my body has never felt the warmth of another human being again. Even with this weather, I still feel cold and have to wear the heavy winter robes. 。This is frozen in the winter, dried out of all its blood, and frozen into this state. 。So, Your Highness, the former Fourth Miss of the Night you saved her, and indirectly harmed her. All that has happened in the past, even if it's settled now!
