Chapter 117 (2/2)

Hearing this, aunt Yu understood: ”so it's just a cover for you to save me from the brothel and take me back to the house. You have to divert the emperor's attention and deliberately show him, just to let him know that you don't love Hua minrou at all.”

Ji Qingxue looked at Ji Lin and couldn't even say a word. Is this the truth?

”Then why do you know that I killed Hua minrou and left me in the house for so long?”

This is what Ji Qingxue wants to ask. This is not only Ji Qingxue, but also aunt Yu.

Why? Yes, why? Ji Lin muttered to himself, because he planned this thing!

”Siruo met an assassin in the house in the seventh year of giving birth to Qingxue, and she was seriously injured. Originally, no one could hurt her because of her martial arts. Because of her physique, she was not suitable for childbirth, but she still fought her life to give birth to Qingxue, which made her physique poor and greatly weakened her skills. Otherwise, how could she have only one year left!”

Ji Lin knew that the assassin incident was a warning given to him by Nangong Xuan. Nangong Xuan had lost his patience. If he could no longer get back the map and prescription of the treasure for him, he would fight against the prime minister's house.

That day, Hua minrou begged him for a long time. She had only one year left. If she could save the whole prime minister's house at the expense of her, her death would be worth it.

But Ji Lin refused to agree. He said to Hua minrou, ”siruo, we can leave Dayan with Qingxue and go anywhere! As long as the three of us are together!”

But Hua minrou knew that as long as she was alive, Nangong Xuan would not give up and would send someone to hunt them down. Even if she could leave Dayan safely, they would live in the shadow of being hunted down all their lives.

Hua minrou held Ji Lin's hand with deep affection and nostalgia in her eyes: ”Xianggong, we should protect our daughter.”

Ji Lin's heart is like a knife. He just wants to live a simple life with his wife and daughter. Why doesn't God fulfill his wish.

Ji Lin said with tears: ”Siro, maybe I made too many sins in the past, so God wants to punish me so that I can't be happy all my life.”

Hua minrou gently pressed Ji Lin's chest and felt his warmth: ”in the afterlife, I'm waiting for you in Liusheng valley.”

Aunt Yu, they were shocked by the truth of the matter and were stunned on the spot. Ji Qingxue didn't expect that there was such a big secret behind the whole thing.

”So Siro and I made this plan. I deliberately showed kindness to Siro in front of you. You were unwilling. In your anger, you really killed Siro.”

Ji Lin said word by word, reopening the past is like reopening his wound. It's bloody and makes him miserable.

”When the fire was set that day, if Si Ruo used a little hypnosis on you, you walked into the trap we set up step by step.”

Ji Qingxue suddenly thought, ”it was you who took me out of my mother's room that day!”

She choked too much smoke in the fire and fainted in the scene. When she woke up, she stayed in her room.

Ji Lin looked at Ji Qingxue with some pain. Her appearance was unexpected. He and Hua minrou originally wanted to create a fire and make Hua minrou disappear from the world, but Ji Qingxue's sudden appearance disrupted their plan.

In order to save Ji Qingxue, Hua minrou was hit by a suddenly broken beam.

Ji Qingxue's memory seemed to recover in an instant. She opened her eyes wide and tears meandered down: ”my mother is to save me, I... Killed my mother!”

Ji Qingxue's legs were soft. Fortunately, nangongyan held her in time. Ji Qingxue couldn't bear the huge blow. She grabbed nangongyan's arm: ”nangongyan, I caused my mother's death, I caused it!”

Nangong Yan patted her shoulder and comforted her constantly: ”no, it's not your fault, it's not!”

Seeing that Ji Qingxue blamed himself so much, Ji Lin was more distressed: ”it's none of your business, son, it's your father's failure to protect your mother!”

Later, the reason why he ignored Ji Qingxue was that he was afraid that Nangong Xuan would threaten him with children again, so he could only pretend that he didn't care about her daughter at all.

No one knows how distressed he is. He can only run to see Ji Qingxue secretly in the dead of night.

Because she is the only daughter left to him by siruo. Even if she hates herself, even if she works hard, he should protect her.
