Chapter 945: What's Going On in His Mind?

ion, she added, "I... I hate being lied to. You should know that."So... you better not lie to me!Mo Yunjing looked at her, slowly saying, "I have a wife.""!!"As expected!An Xue Tang immediately felt a...But after years of serving Xiao Qin, the moment she saw Jiang Qingyang, the maid wisely retreated.

Xiao Qin's complicated gaze fell on Jiang Qingyang, then she turned and went back into the house. She didn't close the door.

Jiang Qingyang followed him in.

The house had no oil lamps lit, but as a martial artist, Jiang Qingyang had excellent eyesight. As soon as he entered, he knew where Xiao Qin was.

He walked straight over and sat down across from Xiaoqin.

Neither of them spoke first.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Qingyang finally spoke, "Qiner, I'm sorry."

In the pitch-black room, Xiaoqin's gaze fell accurately on his face, "Why apologize"

Jiang Qingyang clenched his fist slightly, "It's my fault that you are facing such a difficult predicament."

Xiaoqin suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly, “What have you done wrong It’s all just my destiny.”

After that, the two fell silent again for a long time.

Before, Xiao Qin wasn't so taciturn. So right now, in Jiang Qingyang's eyes, this meant Xiao Qin was giving him the cold shoulder.

He sighed, "Qin'er, today I went to plead with the King of Bei Jiang."

Xiao Qin's eyes showed a hint of surprise, staring at him intently.

"Ke Qin'er, you know this as well, I actually belong to the Prince. Right now, the Prince has gone to Beijiang, and the relationship between the Prince and the King of Beijiang is probably not what it used to be. Even if I begged him, he might not help."

So he came tonight to tell her that he'd done his best, wasn't that it

Xiaoqin was silent for a moment before speaking, "Prince...he really wants to oppose the King of Beijang"

"The Crown Prince wouldn't go against the King of the Northern Border, but as for Qin'er, you know, the Crown Prince has been tormented by the Emperor these past years, becoming what he is now. Now that he finally has a fresh start, no matter what he wants to do, we should all understand."

"... " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Xiao Qin wanted to say she didn't understand, she didn't understand why the Crown Prince went to Beijang and had to oppose the King of Beijang. She didn't understand that Beijang was clearly the territory of the King of Beijang, but why did the Crown Prince want to take over

I just thought of her as a woman secluded in the inner chambers. Even if she spoke about what she didn't understand, what could be done Besides, she wasn't particularly interested in these matters.

Jiang Qingyang didn't really care whose side she was on. From the beginning to the end, all she cared about was his safety. If serving the Crown Prince was his choice, what right did she have to say anything

Xiaoqin fell silent for a moment again, then asked, "So you came tonight to tell me something"

"Qiner, I beg of you. While asking the King of Beijang might not work, as long as Madam Hou steps in, King Beijang will definitely help you. Why don't you ask your mother to speak with King Beijang"

Xiao Qin pursed her lips, a strange feeling welling up in her heart. The person before her was someone she had liked for many, many years. But lately, whenever she thought of him or saw him, the sense of loss in her heart grew deeper and stronger.

Especially after hearing him say that, a thought naturally popped into her mind: If life were only like the first encounter, why would autumn wind bring sadness to the painting fan

Jiang Qingyang had brought it up, but he hadn't waited for Xiao Qin's response. His brows furrowed. "Qin'er, why aren't you speaking Or are you really going to marry into the Ye family"

Xiao Qin pursed her lips, "It's okay, if marrying into the Ye family is my destiny, I accept it."

"Qin'er!"

Jiang Qingyang rebuked with great disapproval, "Are you going to give up on yourself like this Do you know what it means to marry into the Ye family You personally sent Ye Xiaoming away. Those people from the Ye family couldn't make you taste death back then. Now, as long as you enter the Ye family, you will die without a doubt!"

He hadn't said it before, and it was fine. But now that he had, Xiaoqin felt her heart even more constricted. It turned out he knew everything – what would happen to her after she married into the Ye family, he could have guessed it all along.

It was precisely this kind of behavior that made her feel even more heartbroken and unsure how to approach him.

She had come close several times before, wanting to ask him if he knew what lay ahead. But each time she held back.

She wasn't unwilling to ask, she just didn't dare.

Her mother once told her that in this world, human nature couldn't withstand temptation. One test could ruin everything, and one shouldn't overestimate people. Overestimating them would only lead to disappointment.

She didn't really think much of this saying before, but today she found it deeply meaningful.

So he clearly knew what kind of situation he'd be facing, yet he didn't take any action all these years, did he

Thinking of this, Xiaoqin's lips couldn't help but curl into a wry smile.

"I know what you're saying, but today the Emperor sent someone to remind my parents about my marriage. The Emperor is so busy that he couldn't possibly remember both families' arrangements, so the Ye family must have gone to him and complained. What room for maneuver do we have in this situation"

Xiao Qin finished her words calmly, and afterward, her gaze remained fixed on Jiang Qingyang's face as if she wanted to see what he was thinking.

It's a pity that, besides frowning, Jiang Qingyang didn't show any of the expressions she had expected. She only felt her heart growing colder and colder.

"Qiner, ask Madam Hou to find the King of Beijang. The Emperor now relies heavily on the King of Beijang. If Madam Hou can persuade the King of Beijang to help, this marriage can be called off."

Xiaoqin shook her head slightly, "Let things take their course. I don't want to put my parents in an awkward position."

Although An Xuetang had promised her she would find a way to cancel the marriage, she didn't know what she was thinking at this moment and just didn't want to tell Jiang Qingyang.

“How is this difficult” Jiang Qingyang disagreed completely, “You are their biological daughter, they care about your life and death. Now there’s a chance to save your life, they definitely wouldn’t find it difficult.”

Looking at Jiang Qingyang's anxious appearance, Xiao Qin pursed her lips and fell silent for a moment, then stared at him and slowly said, "Qingyang brother, is this the only way to save me now"

In the end, she couldn't help but ask the question.

Jiang Qingyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, now the only way to save you is this."

Xia Qin's eyes, which had held only a glimmer of light, were now completely dim. She gave a silent, bitter smile, then masked her emotions and said to Jiang Qingyang, "It's late. I think I'll rest."

"...."

Jiang Qingyang frowned, he always felt that Xiaoqin's emotions and attitude made him a little uneasy, "Qin'er you..."

“I’m really tired, and besides, it’s so late. Us being alone together like this isn’t quite right.”

Xiao Qin was urging him to leave, Jiang Qingyang had no choice but to finally get up and leave. Before leaving, he couldn't help but advise her to be sure to ask An Le Hou and his wife to beg Bei Jiang Wang.

Xia Qin did not style her hair nor refuse, seeing Jiang Qingyang out the door, she simply closed it.

Jiang Qingyang looked at the tightly closed door, hesitated for a moment, but still left.

Listening to Jiang Qingyang's departing footsteps, Xiao Qin's tears finally welled up in her eyes.

He left with such grace... So what was the point of her persistence all these years

She knelt on the ground and cried for a long time. Xiaoqin didn't know what she had figured out, but her eyes suddenly became firm.

Then, she slowly got up and walked step by step towards the dressing table in the room, her gaze fixed on the pair of scissors on it. sure they can bring Fu'er here as quickly as possible.""Yes.""Shou'er, from now on, try your best to stay here with Kang'er and keep an eye on your valley master. If anything unusual happens, tell me...
