380 The Truth (Part 2)
The latter part of her sentence was too painful to say. Even now, Li Xiangjun could not say it out loud. “Anyways, I had no choice and no other way to survive. Once I reached Bei City, on my wedding night, I decided to die together with him. That would be revenge for your parents. After what my father did, I was too ashamed to see you, but I always want to do something for you.”
Fang Tianliu’s mouth opened, but he didn’t know what to say.
“When I was in Bei City, I accidentally found out that my father started getting controlled by that guy after your parents’ accident.” Li Xiangjun finally looked up and quickly glanced at Fang Tianliu before looking away. “That’s why I came back here. That’s why I dared to come back to see you.”
Fang Tianliu had never thought that the truth of the matter would be so complicated.
!!
“Xiangjun…”
Fang Tianliu opened his mouth and raised his hand to touch the wound on Li Xiangjun’s neck.
Li Xiangjun shivered.
Luoning, who was in her arms, thought that her mother was playing with her and laughed along, breaking the stagnant atmosphere in the room.
Fang Tianliu lowered his eyes to look at Luoning.
“This whole time… I’m sorry to have wronged you.”
“That Lin guy is a bad man.” Fang Tianliu seemed to be boiling with rage. “Xiangjun, how did you come back from Bei City?”
“After I was injured, I carefully hid in my own courtyard. I didn’t dare to go out casually for fear that others would find my stomach.”
Perhaps it was because she had just experienced a life and death situation, but Li Xiangjun was no longer filled with fear when she thought about the past.
“It’s such a coincidence. The doctor who came to change the medicine for me was Sun Jiyan.”
“The Lin guy disliked me and didn’t want to spend much on me, so he found a wandering physician to change my medicine. With Jiyan’s help, I managed to escape.
“I left him a letter before I came out. That way, he would think that I was depressed and wanted to kill myself.”
Fang Tianliu’s expression didn’t look relaxed.
He saw that Li Xiangjun was tired from talking, so he patted her shoulder and carried Luoning back. Then, he took the pillow from Li Xiangjun and helped her lie down. “You must have suffered a lot on your own. You should rest for a while,” Fang Tianliu pulled the blanket up. “I’ll take Ningning to Li Miao to feed her.”
Seeing the uneasiness in Li Xiangjun’s eyes, Fang Tianliu comforted her. “From now on, our family of three will never be separated.”
“Really? You believe me?”
No matter what, she had stayed in the Lin residence for more than two months.
“Of course I believe you.” Fang Tianliu looked at her with a sincere expression. “Other than the harsh words you said to me back then, I’ve always believed everything you said.”
“Xiangjun, I only want you to live well.”
The uneasiness in Li Xiangjun’s heart dissipated. She couldn’t resist the attack of sleepiness and fell asleep after her mind relaxed.
Fang Tianliu waited for her to fall asleep before carrying Luoning to the next room. He then turned around and went straight to the backyard.
“Zhao Zhan.”
Zhao Zhan, who was in the middle of a jealous argument with Zhao Nian, was interrupted by his name being called. His face could not help but darken.
“Zhao Zhan, did something happen to Xiangjun?”
Zhao Zhan pulled his lover into his arms, then stood up and walked out of the door. “Is there an emergency?”
When Fang Tianliu saw Zhao Zhan, he pulled him to sit under the pavilion in the courtyard. He quickly summarized what Li Xiangjun had told him. “Xiangjun and Lin have signed a marriage contract.”
Zhao Zhan’s expression also turned grave.
“But… Did she write a divorce letter?”
They didn’t separate, nor did they abandon each other.
Li Xiangjun was still considered Madam Lin.
Fang Tianliu’s eyes darkened, “That man is full of cunning tricks. I suspect that he knows everything that Xiangjun has done.
“If he goes and reports Xiangjun’s illicit affair, according to the laws of our court, she will be forced to drown.”
Fang Tianliu’s face was filled with worry, and he was at his wit’s end.
“What do you think I should do? Ningning is my child. I won’t give up. Xiangjun married that man because he pulled many despicable strings.”
The more Fang Tianliu spoke, the angrier he got, but his tone was still firm. “I won’t let go of the mother and daughter.”
“So that man surnamed Lin is in Shangjing now?”
“He first harmed my family and then forced Xiangjun to marry him.” Fang Tianliu’s eyes were filled with hatred, “I want him dead!”
