Chapter - 535 Refusing to Acknowledge Zhang As Husband (12) (1/2)

”Why?” Zhang Wuji asked.

”She is the murderer who killed me,” Yin Li replied, ”Why do you still care about her?”

”But you are not dead,” Zhao Min interrupted, ”How can she be your murderer?”

”I have died once,” Yin Li said, ”That makes her the murderer!”

”Good Zhu'er,” Zhang Wuji tried to persuade her, ”You have escaped danger and returned to live. We are all very happy. Why don't you sit nicely over here and tell us how did you cheat death and escaped alive?”

Yin Li said, ”What do you mean 'we'? Let me ask you this: when you said 'we', who is 'we'?”

Zhang Wuji said with a laugh, ”There are only four people in here. Naturally 'we' refers to Miss Zhou, Miss Zhao and me.”

”Humph!” with a cold laugh Yin Li said, ”I am not dead. Granted that you might be somewhat happy, but what about Miss Zhou and Miss Zhao? Are they also happy?”

”Miss Yin,” Zhou Zhiruo said, ”I was so evil in those days; I have harmed you. But later, not only I deeply regretted my actions but also I have never had peace in my sleep. Otherwise, when I suddenly saw you in the woods, I would not be frightened like this. Now that I see you alive and well, my burden has been lifted off. The Heaven above is my witness that my joy is unbounded.”

Yin Li leaned her head sideways and thought for a moment. She nodded and said, ”That makes sense. Actually, I was going to settle the score with you, but since you have apologized, I'll let it go.”

Zhou Zhiruo kneeled down and sobbed, ”I … I truly have committed the gravest offense toward you.”

Yin Li had always been hot-tempered; but seeing Zhou Zhiruo sincerely admit her guilt, her heart melted. She quickly helped her up and said, ”Zhou Jiejie, let bygone be bygone, let us forget it. After all, I am not dead.” Holding Zhou Zhiruo's hand, she took her to sit on her side.

Brushing her stray hair aside, Yin Li said, ”You crisscrossed my face with the swords, it was also not entirely without any benefit. My face was originally bumpy, after the sword cut, the poisonous blood was drained away, the bumps slowly subsided.”

Zhou Zhiruo was overwhelmed with regret; she did not know what to say.

Zhang Wuji said, ”Afterwards, Yifu, Zhiruo and I lived on that island for a long time. Zhu'er, after you came out of the grave, why didn't you see us?”
