Chapter 417 She is a wonderful woman
Such decisiveness and ruthlessness really fits Yuying's style.
She is a wonderful woman.
She is said to be cruel, and she does not care about human life.
But she was willing to do her best to save ordinary people who died in floods in her previous life. Thanks to her efforts, she saved the lives of tens of thousands of people.
Wei Yunzhi smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling that there really was cause and effect and reincarnation in the world.
In the previous life, Yuying was so in love with him, but he caused her to die.
In this life, her past memories only came back to her after she got married, but it was still a step too late.
The more I delve into many things, the more I realize that I am involuntarily getting deeper and deeper into them.
This shouldn't have happened.
He raised his eyes and looked at the fragile-looking woman in front of him.
She still has the same temperament.
As light as smoke, as quiet as orchid.
Although her eyes were red and tears welled up, she still tried hard to hold them back.
It was this attitude that made him in his previous life always believe that she was a kind, tough and intelligent girl.
In his heart, he mocked her for not being able to judge people.
But isn't it the same for me?
Let’s look at what she did in this life: she first used Han Qichen to gain a lot of benefits and take advantage of all the conveniences, but she was still not satisfied, and secretly tried to get close to the second prince.
It can be seen that she knows very well who will be the future successor.
Even so, she was still willing to enter into a marriage contract with him, which showed that her ambition was not to enter the harem, but to wander around, making people fall in love with her, but never really giving anything in return.
Perhaps it was because she had tasted the sweetness of being loved by Han Qichen.
Then she will marry me and become a marquis's wife.
You can also hold Han Qichen's hand with your left hand and become the mole on his heart.
The right hand is tied to the future emperor, leaving behind an unspeakable feeling.
Standing on several boats without fear of capsizing——
Oh no, it's already flipped over.
In fact, whether marrying him or Han Qichen, it is better than becoming a concubine in the second prince's harem.
She probably didn't expect that Chu Heng would not play by the rules.
The engagement was not a big obstacle for him.
He did act as a secret pusher at the time. On the one hand, he was attracted by the Mo family's resources, but on the other hand, he didn't want to have too much trouble.
However, at first he did not realize that Tang An Ning also had memories of his past life. Although he had the intention to use her, he still remembered some of their old feelings.
As he gradually pieced together the truth, the last bit of warmth in his heart finally turned into cold clarity.
"His Majesty the Second Prince is like this by nature. Naturally, he cannot compare with Han Qichen." Wei Yun said.
A bitter look appeared on Tang An Ning's lips. "At first... I actually thought Chu Heng was sincere to me."
It's not that she didn't expect that she was an exception.
"He truly loves you," Wei Yunzhi said calmly, "If not, I wouldn't have risked the wrath of His Majesty by asking for your hand in marriage."
"Such sincerity is too cheap." Tang An Ning said sarcastically.
Wei Yunzhi chuckled and almost blurted out - Do you think everyone is like Han Qichen?
He is devoted to one person and willing to give everything. There is almost no bad quality found in ordinary men in him.
If not, why would my attempts fail time and time again?
"If you are still willing to stay with the Second Prince, our plan can be postponed." He said.
"No." Tang Anning's voice rose slightly, and then he lowered it again, "This is not the life I want."
Trapped in a courtyard, waiting for a man's occasional mercy.
At first, he would come to her yard except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
But it was only a year, less than twenty days. If she continued like this, she would eventually waste her youth in waiting day after day like other women.
She raised her eyes and looked at Wei Yunzhi: "I want to leave."
This time, her eyes were more resolute than when they met in Qiu Lie.
Like a lone star in the dark night, there is no more hesitation.
Wei Yunzhi looked at her silently for a moment, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, "An Ning, I will help you."
"Brother Yunzhi..." Tang An Ning's throat choked slightly, tears welling in his eyes. "Back then... I failed you. But I... I didn't know Chu Heng would act so impulsively."
She lowered her head and said in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "I'm sorry."
Wei Yunzhi smiled softly, "I have never blamed you."
He didn't say the rest.
A moment of silence passed between the two of them.
Tang An Ning suddenly raised her head and asked with concern, "Brother Yunzhi, how have you been lately? I've heard all those rumors... I absolutely don't believe you're that kind of person. It must be Mo Yuying—she already has Brother Han but she's still restless, insisting on provoking you and getting you into trouble..."
Wei Yunzhi interrupted her: "It's all nonsense, it's all in the past."
"But those rumors about your background..."
"It's all fake." Wei Yunzhi obviously didn't want to talk any more, and changed the subject, "Have you heard about the Guanghua Temple?"
Tang An Ning's fingers gripping the teacup tightened slightly, forcing a smile onto his face. "No, is there something wrong?"
Wei Yunzhi observed her expression and said slowly, "A few days ago, Yuying and the Duke's wife went to Guanghua Temple to burn incense. They stayed overnight, and the entire temple was cleaned out overnight. This news was strictly sealed, and I had to go through a lot of trouble to find out."
Tang Anning blinked, trying to hide her inner panic: "How could it be? Was it Yuying who did it? Why would she do this? Did the monks in the temple offend her?"
Wei Yunzhi shook his head: "I can't find out what happened that night."
Tang An Ning lowered his head, thinking quickly about how to respond without arousing suspicion: "Even Brother Lian Yunzhi couldn't find out about this, so how could I know about it when I'm stuck in this deep backyard all day?"
"The Second Prince... never mentioned it to you?"
"He never told me that."
Wei Yunzhi's eyes fell on her knuckles, which had turned white from exertion, and his voice remained steady: "His Majesty has handed this matter over to Han Qichen to investigate."
Tang Anning looked up suddenly: "Didn't Brother Han get suspended?"
As soon as she said it, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
Wei Yunzhi pretended not to hear and simply said, "The City Defense Battalion has only been suspended. His Majesty did not hand the matter over to Shuntian Prefecture or the Dali Temple, but instead asked Han Qichen, who has no official position, to investigate. This shows that the inside story is not suitable for outsiders to know."
Tang An Ning's heart suddenly tightened, and his knuckles clenched until they turned white.
Wei Yunzhi's voice remained steady, but like an icy cold needle: "This matter...should have nothing to do with you, right?"
Tang Anning felt his heartbeat suddenly stop for a moment, and blurted out: "It has nothing to do with it! It certainly has nothing to do with me!"
Before she finished speaking, she realized that her voice was too high.
It was particularly harsh in the silent room.
Wei Yunzhi's tone slowed down a bit. "It's good that it has nothing to do with you. I'm just worried that you'll be implicated. Since this matter involves Yuying, Han Qichen will definitely get to the bottom of it and will never give up."
