When I closed the door and turned around, I saw Han Zitong standing in the middle of the room, staring at me with a heavy gaze.

I smiled slightly, “What’s wrong?”

“…”

"What are you watching me?"

“…”

"Are you watching? Am I injured?"

Her eyes flashed and she said, "You know it's me?"

I smiled and said, "There are many people who want to kill me, but I can do it in Jinling. I was offended by me two days ago and threatened to kill me, only Miss Zitong."

"Then, you still let me in?"

"You are the master, I can't keep the master outside the door."

After saying that, I walked to the table and raised my hand to the stool opposite: "Sit down."

This time, she seemed to have no such anger that she had with her back. I spoke calmly and smiled like this, but I felt that she was so excited and suppressed. When she walked to me and sat down slowly, I could see her hand holding the table and exerting force in secret, and the veins on the back of her hand burst out one by one.

The two sat down and met calmly.

She said: "Then you let me in now, do you have anything to say?"

I smiled and said, "It's you who came to me. Isn't you something to say?"

"..." She was silent for a moment, then looked up at me. On such a quiet night, two women sat in front of the swaying candlelight and met with each other. They were obviously two people, but they felt an indescribable sense of loneliness, but more of it was emitted from her, not only loneliness, but even an almost desperate feeling.

She finally said, "Actually, I don't hate you."

"……oh?"

"We have similar backgrounds and the environment we grow up is the same. Maybe you don't know that my sister and I were also young and lost our fathers. Although our family business is big, we have more people to covet it. She is so sick and weak. If I don't become strong and don't put my whole body on the thorns, she and I will not be able to hold on to today, nor will we meet Yuan Xiu."

I opened my eyes slightly.

I didn't expect that she would suddenly tell me about her childhood. Although she spoke so dullly, I clearly heard the hardships she had soaked in her bone marrow for decades from those deliberate, dull, and even cold words.

But when she said this, I seemed to understand.

The descendants of King Jiangxia sounded like a good name, but such a huge family business and mixed forces eventually fell on the shoulders of two weak and delicate girls. If you think about it carefully, there will definitely be no only wealth and pleasure.

I looked at her, and my eyes showed a little bit of empathy and said softly: "Is that true?"

"Now, there is finally a chance that my sister meets her lifelong support, and our family business will no longer be coveted by others, and can even be carried forward. Our Han family can be famous throughout the ages, so how can I give up easily?"

“…”

"How can I let go of the people who block our path easily?"

"Do you think I was blocking your way?"

She looked at me, sighed faintly, and said, "Actually, nothing you say now doesn't matter. I know, no matter whether you like you or hate you, we can't get along peacefully. If you can't do it, I can't do it either. So I don't wonder at all if I want to kill you. I don't wonder at all if I hope Yuan Xiu will marry me to the young master of the Ao family."

My heart moved slightly: "I—?"

"Aren't you?" Although she spoke calmly, at this moment, I still saw her slightly red eyes. When staring at me, I felt a slight trembling feeling: "Isn't it the idea you came up with? Because you know I'm going to attack you, you know I've always been hostile to you, so you thought of this way to let me disappear from your eyes once and for all."

“…”

"When I leave, my sister—can you let your mercy?"

I frowned slightly, almost subconsciously trying to argue in my heart, but when I opened my mouth, my voice was a little hoarse. I probably knew in my heart that nothing was useful at this time. Han Zitong was a stubborn person, so stubborn that he only believed what he was willing to believe, so stubborn that even if he was covered in bruises, he must protect the person she vowed to protect.

Regardless of whoever needs her protection or not.

At this time, I saw her shoulders twitching slightly, and she fumbled through her waist with one hand, then took something and put it on the table, and clanged gently.

When I looked down, I saw a heavy, gray-black knife.

Although I haven't unsheathed yet, I seem to be able to feel the sharpness of the blade.

I frowned and looked up at her again: "You want to kill me with your own hands?"

She lowered her eyelids and didn't speak.

"Do you think you can succeed?"

"I have to succeed!"

This sentence made my heart sink slightly, and I also felt that she was here today with the determination to die, and she must kill me no matter what the price she paid.

I sighed softly.

I actually see Han Zitong more thoroughly than others, but this is how people's hearts are. Even the simplest hearts often have the most thorough part that can reflect the most beautiful light. I know how stubborn she is, but I still feel that shocked in my heart.

I saw that she was about to reach out and was about to pull out the short knife. Just as her fingertips touched the hilt, I suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about it? What will happen next if you kill me?"

Her eyes flashed, and her fingers froze to the point where Li Daoping could not be excessive.

I looked at her: "Have you ever thought about these things?"

She lowered her eyelids, and the long shadow cast by her eyelashes was on her face, portraying every minute of her trembling and every bit of trembling clearly. After a while of silence, she said softly: "If both of us die tonight, there is nothing to care about. After I die, even if the war is raging?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I was stunned by her and then smiled bitterly.

Most people have this mentality.

However, she, the determination she had this time, was extremely great.

I said softly, "Did you ever think about it? If you kill me, will you still be alive?"

Her face twitched suddenly.

I could see the blood on her face fading away, and it was the expression that seemed to be suddenly hit by lightning. In fact, she could not have known that such a result was that when anyone wanted to punish and kill another person, the most hoped ending would be to survive and the other party was killed, but she seemed to have never thought about it.

Maybe it was because she didn't dare to think about it.

I dare not think about what kind of Pei Yuanxiu she would face as the murderer of me.

I said softly: "Have you ever thought about facing Pei Yuanxiu?"

This time, her reaction was much bigger than before, as if she was suddenly stabbed by a needle, and suddenly stood up from the stool, grabbed the short knife with one hand, and then held it in her arms.

That posture is like protecting yourself.

I know how much touched Pei Yuanxiu was when it comes to mentioning her.

This is something she probably didn't dare to think about before, let alone survive.

So, I immediately said, "You actually thought about it, but you didn't dare to face it. If you kill me, if you are still alive, you have to face Pei Yuanxiu. No matter what kind of punishment or even anger it is, it is not something you can bear."

“…”

"Because, you love him."

“…”

"You love him more than anyone in the world!"

Her face was pale, as if she was finally stabbed by the needle in my words and had nowhere to escape. She suddenly shouted at me: "Stop talking, stop talking anymore! Shut up!"

She was clearly holding a short knife that could kill me in an instant, but at this time she had no intention of pulling it out. Instead, she held the knife tightly with both hands, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

But I was more determined and bolder than her who had a murderous weapon in my hand. I stood on the table and slowly approached her, saying, "Don't you? Do you think you can hide it from everyone? In fact, you can't hide it from anyone. Everyone knows, from the look you look at him, from the way you talk to him, from the years you have been by their side - do you think you are protecting your sister? No."

“…”

"I know you're trying to stay with him."

“…”

"In order to give yourself an excuse, you stay by his side and watch him and help him, so you keep telling yourself that you want to protect your sister, but in fact, your sister is already married. She has her own husband and so many subordinates to protect her, so why do you need to be alone?"

My words completely hurt her. When I saw Han Zitong's eyes turned red, as if a trapped beast was forced into a desperate situation. She suddenly shouted at me: "Stop it! Stop it!"

“…”

"I didn't! I didn't want to steal him from my sister!"

“…”

"Even if, even in my heart-"

When he said this, he felt like he was stinging again. He struggled and stopped, looking at me with tears in his eyes. I looked at her calmly. It was obvious that it was someone else's pain, but I wonder if it was because she was too close to me. All her expressions of despair and pain were reflected in my eyes. That feeling of despair and pain seemed to have infected my heart.

I looked at her and said slowly, "It's already this time. Do you dare not even say this?"

My words are like the last straw that crushes the camel.

I heard a "clang" sound. When I looked up, Han Zitong's hand couldn't help but let go. The short knife she held in her arms like a life-saving straw fell to the ground.

A tear fell from her eyes.

"I……"

She murmured, no longer as if she was talking to me, nor was she talking to herself, but was completely unconscious, and she dared to face the most in her heart. Perhaps she was locked in a cage in a corner of her heart, desperately not daring to let it see the secret of the light of day, and in the vast world.

"I..." Her lips trembled violently, and she finally said softly: "I have always loved him in my heart."

My breathing also sank.
