Chapter 423 Be a Human Being in Your Next Life
"you you......."
After saying "you" for a long time, Zhao Xingjian didn't know how to respond, because what she said was the truth, which was his plan, but only he knew this plan, and no one knew what he was thinking.
She was a noble lady and he was just a countryman. It was his blessing to marry a noble lady, but he was also a man.
As a man, he will not allow a woman to be superior to him.
Behind her are the Duke of Zhenguo, the Princess Huguo, and even the Emperor.
He was afraid that she would ride on his head and make him live without dignity.
He wanted the power behind her to support himself, and he also wanted an obedient little wife. Naturally, he would not allow her to be arrogant and domineering, making him live worse than a son-in-law.
In fact, there was a moment when he was a little hesitant.
After all, after getting along with her, he felt that she was not that kind of person.
She was different from other noble ladies in the capital, she was well-educated and spoke softly to him. He felt that she would not bully him or trample on his dignity in the future.
But he saw a prince consort in the capital who was tortured by the princess until he was no longer like a man.
Although Ye Jingxue is not a princess, her status is no lower than that of a princess.
He immediately made up his mind.
Men and women who have just started dating will behave well, but who knows if her personality will change after marriage?
He is the hope of the family. He finally passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. So many people depend on him, so how could he be humble to a woman?
"Are you embarrassed when I tell you the truth? You are so hypocritical. Do you believe that when you become powerful, you will be the first one who wants to get rid of me. You want to burn me to death? This is really the only trick you know."
Ye Jingxue felt a little disgusted and didn't want to say anything more. She just wanted to expose his hypocritical face.
"But being burned to death is really painful. You can't even scream out the pain. There is also agony and despair..."
Ye Jingxue's words were like knives stabbing Zhao Xingjian's heart.
"I'm very glad that I saw your hypocrisy in time, otherwise I would have died without even seeing my ashes. Zhao Xingjian, if there is an afterlife, please be a human being."
She turned around without saying another word.
"No... Even if you are right, you are still fine now, and I... Xue'er, Xue'er, don't go, let me go, I won't dare to do it again... Xue'er, I really, really like you..."
"I'm already in this state. The whole clan won't tolerate me. Even my mother doesn't want me anymore. Sun Qian'er hates me to the core. I have nothing left... I finally came to the mountains to become a monk so that I can have something to eat. Isn't this enough?"
Zhao Xingjian crawled forward like a worm, but he couldn't take even one step.
Looking at that figure from behind, he recalled the day when she was paraded through the streets on horseback. He raised his head and saw her, who looked like a fairy from heaven.
It's obvious that he really likes her.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman.
He was planning to live a good life with her.
That was his most glorious day, he was the top scholar full of vigor and vitality.
"No...I am the top scholar, I want to be a high-ranking official, and I want to bring honor to my family...I am the top scholar..."
His wailing could still be heard from behind, and Ye Jingxue had already walked out the door.
Su Wanwan immediately went over to her and felt relieved to see that she looked normal.
The door was open. In fact, she had heard most of their conversation and already had the story in her mind.
I couldn't help but hold Ye Jingxue's hand tightly.
"Sister Ye, how are you going to deal with him?"
Ye Jingxue looked up. The wind was very strong on the mountain and a candlelight flickered dimly in the distance.
"Let's take them back first. This is Buddhism. Killing animals here is not good..."
Ye Jingxue had no intention of executing him right here.
Buddhists are not allowed to kill, not to mention that there was such a big commotion before and many people saw it.
If Zhao Xingjian died here at this moment, not only would the reputation of the temple be ruined, but they would also become objects of suspicion.
Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan also expressed their deep agreement.
"Kongmi is my Buddhist disciple, you can't take him away."
When the monk nearby heard that they were going to take him down the mountain, he immediately stopped them.
"Even if he is from your Lingyin Temple, he has committed a crime, attempted murder. Do you still want to protect the criminal?"
Lin Wenyue glanced at the monk and asked back.
The monk blushed, but could not say anything to refute.
"I will tell the abbot. This is someone from your temple. You also have responsibilities. I also want to ask the abbot how to deal with this scum."
Shen Yuan responded with a calm look, then turned to look at Su Wanwan:
"You guys go and rest first, leave this to me."
Su Wanwan nodded. It was already late at night and the wind on the mountain was still very cold. Sister Ye was frightened, so she rested for a night and led people down the mountain tomorrow.
They went straight to Xiao Yue'er's room. Xiao Yue'er was asleep. Xiao Yunyi heard the noise and immediately got up.
"Mother, aunt."
He looked worried.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
Just now he saw that his second aunt was in a bad condition, so he didn't dare to sleep, for fear that something might happen to her.
Seeing that Xiao Yunyi cared about her so much, Ye Jingxue couldn't help but touch his head:
"I'm fine now. Thank you, Yun Yi. You've really grown up."
Children aged seven or eight have already learned to worry.
Su Wanwan also came over and asked Xiao Yunyi to go to sleep.
"Go to sleep quickly. Your second aunt and I will go to the next room. Don't worry. The bad guy has been caught. Your father is watching over there."
When little Yunyi heard what his mother said, he finally felt relieved and went to watch over his sister to sleep obediently.
The three of them went to the next room. The maid had already cleaned up the room. When she saw them coming, she went to look after the two children.
"Wanwan, Wenyue, do you think what I did was right?"
Lying on the bed, Ye Jingxue couldn't fall asleep. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes, her mind filled with the man's final plea.
He said he was already so miserable that he had even fallen to the point of becoming a monk. Isn’t that enough?
"He wants to burn you to death today, and nothing you do will be excessive."
Su Wanwan didn't think there was anything wrong with what Ye Jingxue did.
This man hated her to the core, and if the problem wasn't resolved now, it would become a disaster sooner or later.
What's more, no one knows how tragically Ye Jingxue suffered in her previous life.
"Yes, if it weren't for Brother Yuan today, we would all be in trouble."
Lin Wenyue was also very angry and a little scared.
"He didn't just want to burn me to death, he really burned me to death! Wanwan, Wenyue, really, in my dream, I was burned to death. That kind of pain is always with me, and I can't forget it for a moment..."
Speaking of this, Ye Jingxue began to tremble again, her eyes filled with fear and despair.
Su Wanwan hurriedly hugged her and patted her back gently.
"Don't be afraid, it's all in the past. Everything is fine now... We are here..."
Ye Jingxue is so miserable. Was she really burned to death in her previous life?
No wonder he suddenly trembled like that when he saw Zhao Xingjian using the same trick again. It must be that the memory from his previous life was too profound.
