What you are saying here needs time to be verified.""I know, I just hope the major can come soon, they can't wait, I don't want to lose my classmates and teachers."This time, the ripples' voice grew c...Duan Lianyi watched the wisps of cloud like rain declarations of sovereignty. Holding onto Zhang Xuetuo's arm, her actions made it clear what she meant. She looked into Zhang Xuetuo's eyes and said coldly:
"Zhang Xuet ao, you are such a despicable person. You already have someone you love, but for my father's power, you actually used the wedding to scheme against me and my father, and even brought this woman here to disgust me. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have agreed to marry you."
"Xue Tao simply wouldn't consider marrying into your Duan family. It wasn't him who pursued our Xue Tao in the first place, it was you who chased after him. He only agreed out of respect for the relationship between our families."
And what can you do Laundry, cooking, housework, having children You wasted the opportunity in Country Y, and what you learned is of no help to Xietou at all.
What he needs is a lover who can fight alongside him, someone who can support each other and reach the peak together, not a canary that needs to be kept at home like you.
Yun Siyu replaced Zhang Xuetao's answer, the disdain in her eyes materialized.
"Don't sugarcoat it. If Zhang Xuetao really has the ability, he should break off his engagement with my father and have a fair fight with him. I would respect him as a man!"
You're only resorting to such underhanded tactics because you know you can't defeat my father in a fair fight. Do you dare deny that you have conscripted his army You merely cloak your greed with the guise of love.
"Having said that, Duan Lianyi turned to Yun Siyu and said: "
"
"Don't get too cocky. To the outside world, I am Zhang Xuetao's wife, rightfully so. Even if I die, I'm still his widow!"
As long as Zhang Xetao still wants face and to keep his troops stable, he won't marry you for at least two to three years, and he'll have to keep his distance from you! Don't think of all the soldiers in my Duan family as fools!
"You can only hide in the shadows, living like a rat. Now come before me and satisfy your pitiful vanity."
Duan's words were like sharp needles, piercing through all the flaws of the two people in front of her. And she was right about it all.
Qi's clouds of anger wanted to rush forward and beat the woman, but Zhang Xuetao stopped her. He looked coldly at the woman whose face was half that of a celestial being and half that of a devil, as if he was seeing her for the first time. It turned out she had thought of everything.
"You know everything!"
Yes, before I was completely devoted to you, never doubting you for a moment. But when I lost my father and lay in bed feeling like I was dying, after eliminating all possibilities, the most impossible one remained the truth.
Duàn Líyī smiled wryly, but his face looked even more terrifying when he did so. Yún Sīyǔ beside him recoiled two steps in disgust.
"Since you already know, I don't want to say much. Let's make a deal. As long as you hand over the token that can mobilize Duan Jia's elite, I'll let you live."
Zhang Xuedao calmly said.
How can I believe you will let me and my aunts leave
Duan Lianyi said coldly.
There's no way you won't believe me, I have a way to get you talking.
Yun Si rained malicious words.
“You can give it a try. After all, my father is already dead, and in the eyes of outsiders, I am probably considered dead too. Just another month, and if no one with the tokens takes over Duan Jia's elite troops, they can decide their own fate. That was my father's agreement with them, to prevent them from becoming cannon fodder after his death.”
Even ripples said coldly, a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes. No matter how weak she appeared, she was still the daughter of "Southern Dragon" Duan Zongqing.
The ripples' words did make Zhang Xuetao hesitate. Even if he couldn't get the tokens, he didn't want that batch of elite soldiers to join other forces. This would be a form of weakening him. Instead of that, it was better to keep them in his hands.
Zhang Xuedao's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:
“In a show of good faith, I can let your aunts leave first. Tell me where the token is, and I'll let you go. You're no use to me anymore, and I have no interest in killing an ugly brute.”
As for the monster Zhang Xuetao spoke of, Duan Lianyi heard it with no ripples in her heart. She just gave a sarcastic smile and said:
"I'll tell the aunts, anyway they don't know anything. I have to see them board the ship to Y country with my own eyes, otherwise I won't say a word. If it comes down to it, we die together, at least we'll have company on the way to the underworld."
After finishing, Duan Lianyi returned to the inner courtyard, leaving only Zhang Xuetao and Yun Siyu.
"Xuetao, you can't leave Duan Lianyi behind. After all, she is the only daughter of Duan Dashuai. If you let her contact his former subordinates, it would be very detrimental to you because she herself is the best evidence."
Yun Si Yu immediately spoke.
"I know! That's why I agreed to send those concubines away first. Those women in the inner house don't know anything. Only Duan Lianyi is the most troublesome, and it concerns my annexation of the Duan family's army. I absolutely cannot allow any mistakes."
Zhang Xuetao also looked at the distance with cold eyes and said.
"Just know what's in your heart, I'll always be on your side, no matter what decision you make, I'll support you."
Yun Si's rain, in a flash, returned to her delicate feminine state. She softened her voice and said,
"I know you're good to me, but I still have to ask you to bear with me for a while."
"What Duan Lianyi said just now was indeed right to a certain extent. You and I still need to maintain some distance for the time being. Wait until after a year or two, when things about the Duan family's father and daughter have calmed down, and I have completely incorporated the Duan family's power. By then, I will get to know Yun Siyu, who is beautiful, smart and capable, and fall in love at first sight. Then, naturally, we will come together, and everyone will definitely bless us. This way, your reputation will also benefit."
"I understand, this is all for our future. I'll listen to you."
Yunsi, with a soft voice, said, "
Although unwilling, Yunsiyu could only endure. After all, she had already taken ninety-nine steps, so what did one more matter
And Duan Lianyi went to see the four aunts, pulling them all to sit in the courtyard. She talked about everyone's circumstances and also said she had a solution, but all four disagreed with her staying alone to deal with Zhang Xuetao, that scoundrel.
Yes, in the eyes of the four aunts, this man blinded by greed not only harmed their pillar of support but also the young lady they had watched grow up since childhood. The four women would have dearly loved to dismember him.
"Don't argue with me, leave here to stay alive. Go to Country Y first. I went to school there and know some friends. I'll ask them to look after your aunts. Wait for me there."
"If I really can't escape, wait until you become strong enough to come back and avenge me! Is it truly our fate to huddle together and die here, leaving not even one person who knows the truth and can avenge me and my father"
The last thing Lian'er said convinced the four aunts, they packed their belongings overnight, and the next day at noon, under Lian'er's watch, they boarded a ship bound for Country Y.
Not until the ship disappeared from view did Duan Lianyi tell Zhang Xuedao that the token was hidden inside the ancestral hall of the Duan family's old house, integrated with the tablet dedicated to their ancestors.
Zhang Xuetáo smashed the tablet and inside he found a ghost face token cast in bronze. He was overjoyed and with a single shot, killed Duan Lian'yi. effort into his daughter's marriage, but he was blocked at the door by his two."Little sister, how did you wake up Is your fever gone How are you feeling"Xing Laotou asked with concern."Father, my fe...
