Chapter 119 You Say, I Believe

All the blood on Changying's face faded away.

After living two lifetimes, since she left the capital, no one has pointed out her crimes so directly. Although the facts are there, speaking and not speaking are two different things.

Especially when this person is still Ling Yuan——

If she was a little self-deceiving before, she was able to treat herself as a real white-eyed wolf, but now she can't stand it.

"I'm guilty," she admitted.

"Of course you are guilty!" Ling Yuan's eyes were red, "If it wasn't for you, how could I have become like this?"

Changying was overwhelmed by the surging sense of guilt, and didn't care that he was talking about him and not the Ling family.

It's the same anyway, if it wasn't for her, neither he nor the Ling family would have become so gloomy, their aunt would not have been widowed early, and the three brothers would not have had to bear the heavy responsibilities of the family with the pain of losing their father so early.

She bowed her head and said: "After waiting for these years, I will go to my uncle's grave to apologize. But I beg Lord Hou—"

"What right do you have to make a request to me?" Ling Yuan interrupted her, taking half a step closer, "My mother is your aunt, Shen Ying, who now lives in the inner house of the Ling family in the capital. She is as spoiled as a darling, and you changed from a wife to an old lady.

"And you keep saying 'Master Hou', is this reminding you that you have long wanted to break away from our Ling family?!"

The arm was still in his hand, and Changying couldn't use his strength. Looking at the group of flowers embroidered on his waist, his eyes hurt.

Her eyes were a little blurry, she twitched the corners of her mouth, still trying to hold herself back.

But there was already pain from the place where she was detained, so she couldn't help taking a slow breath, and said, "Master Hou, please let go..."

Ling Yuan glared angrily, but after a while, the strength of his hands slowed down and relaxed.

Chang Ying was a little dizzy.

This shortcoming always makes her look so hypocritical, a female general, who would get dizzy at every turn, who would show her frailty?

She sniffed and adjusted her expression.

"Some say you're dead." Ling Yuan's eyes were still red, "Why are you still alive?"

Changying didn't say a word.

While he might have been disappointed that she was still alive, hadn't she already died once?So the rumors are fine.

Ling Yuan looked down at her, but his tone was still cold: "I can think of a way from the Rong family to get a pass out of the city, which is considered capable."

When Chang Ying heard this, she was a little speechless.

He actually knew it was the Rong family...

Rong Yin is the Xuanwei General of the imperial court, Ling Yan and him, as well as Shaoqing's father, Dongyang Bo, are all younger brothers, so they can be regarded as brothers who have been worshiped as masters.

Xiuxiu is actually not her maidservant, but the daughter of one of Shen Huan's subordinates. The Northwest is not as lively as the Central Plains, and she doesn't have many playmates after she was born. It just so happens that Xiuxiu's parents also passed away, and she lives with her old grandmother. Huan took them to the mansion and asked her to follow Changying.

After her grandmother passed away, Xiuxiu stayed in the Shen family, and later followed Chang Ying to the Ling family.

Xiuxiu is not a maid, but she can take care of everything for Changying.In those years, he also learned to read and write, and he acted clearly, and with a good appearance, he was very attractive.

Since Rong Yin was of the same generation as Ling Yan, even though he was the youngest of the three, he was naturally not much younger, but he was quite good-looking and refined, so he was still handsome even in middle age.

It's a pity that Fa's wife died early, and the eldest daughter of the family was in a mess with her stepmother, so she often went out and in with Ling Yan and Dongyang Hou.

In Changying's eyes, Rong Yin is a very gentle and delicate "Third Uncle Rong". She never expected that he would take a fancy to Xiuxiu, who was likable but not particularly eye-catching.

When she led them down the street, he came to her once and offered to help her leave the capital, but the condition was that he would take Xiuxiu as his concubine.

Of course Changying refused, and even pointed at his nose and sneered and scolded him as an old man, but she never expected that Xiuxiu would take advantage of her illness to find Rong Yin in private, and then stay at Rong Yin's house.

Three days later, Rong Yin arranged for her and Wu Ma Zixiang to leave the city.

Because Xiuxiu is a huge target, it is easy for Ling Yuan to notice the traces, so Rong Yin kept her promise to hide Xiuxiu, and did not take her back to the mansion until three months later.

But she believed that with Rong Yin's ability, it was impossible for her to bring disaster on herself just to take a concubine.

Even if she left the capital, she guessed that he would be able to put herself aside and prevent Ling Yuan from finding her.

That Ling Yuan...

Ling Yuan looked at her coldly, and said again: "Do you think I don't know anything?"

Changying remained silent.

Ling Yuan's chest heaved slightly, and he looked at the peonies in the garden, and said, "Go back and clean up, and return to the capital right away!"

Changying was silent, and said for a while: "Master Hou, forgive me, I won't go back."

How can she go back?How do you have the face to face your aunt's sad face?Have the face to meet Ling Song Lingshu's gazes from Ling Song Ling Shu who have been mingling together in the past?
Even if she can afford this face, wouldn't the foundation she built in the past few years be gone?
Did she go back and watch them go to the end?And then he died again helplessly?

"My goal is to make contributions. I will not go anywhere until I am promoted to become a truly proven general."

"Then tell me why you did that!"

Ling Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, and the speed of his words out of anger made one believe that this had definitely been haunting his mind for a long time.

Changying's head buzzed suddenly, avoiding his gaze.

"Keep your head up!" he yelled.

Changying had no choice but to raise her head again, revealing her broken expression in front of him.

This is simply a terrible choice.

If it was so easy for the capital to go back, she wouldn't have to force herself to join the army.

If it was so easy to tell the truth, she wouldn't just watch her aunt leave in disappointment, and watch herself sink into the situation where everyone shouted and beat her.

"Why did you do that back then? What was the reason?"

Ling Yuan's voice was slightly hoarse, and he was asking questions.

The sound like a drum beating in Changying's head became louder and more intense.

She felt that a heavy giant tree was hitting the embankment in her heart like hitting a city gate.

Changying's eye sockets were finally sour and wet.She took a breath and shook her head: "Please don't ask, Lord Hou, even if I tell you, you won't believe me."

She wasn't being used, she knew it very well.

She has lived for two lifetimes, what is unclear, is it being used, is it related to that marriage letter, if she has a brain that can peel Cheng Xiao's skin, she will naturally have a brain to reflect on and review the incident clearly .

Unfortunately neither.

When she rushed to look for Ling Yan, she was clear-headed, why she said those words, she was also clear-headed.

Ling Yuan lowered his eyes indifferently, and said, "Tell me, I believe it."

Chang Ying was startled slightly, and looked up.
