Chapter 187 Persuasion
For six or seven days in a row, Qiao Shinian stayed in the house without any sign of going out.
The news that Princess Yu'an was poisoned naturally spread throughout the capital, and everyone was wondering who had the courage to assassinate the royal family.
On the eighth day, Wen Jiu came out and couldn't help frowning when he entered the room where Qiao Shinian was. After he pushed open all the windows, he went to the bed to see Qiao Shinian. He saw her hugging her legs with her hands, her chin resting on her knees, tears streaming down her face.
The whole person just cried there quietly.
"Sister." Wen Jiu approached and called softly.
Qiao Shinian turned his head slightly and looked at the person who came.
"It's nothing." Wen Jiu squatted down and looked at Qiao Shinian. His eyes were gentle and distressed.
Qiao Shinian stared at Wen Jiu squatting in front of her with tearful eyes. Her voice was hoarse: "Wen Jiu, I love him very much."
"Yeah, I know." Wen Jiu responded in a low voice.
"I killed his sister."
"It's us." Wen Jiu reached out and brushed away the hair that was stuck to her cheek.
Qiao Shinian closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks. She slowly raised her head and looked at the curtain above her head: "He was my teacher, my friend, and my lover, but I killed his family."
"Sister." Wen Jiu held Qiao Shinian's hand tightly, "Go tell him that this was my idea. I forced you to do all this."
"Wen Jiu." Qiao Shinian pulled her hand back. She wiped away her tears with one hand and stroked his head with the other. "He's scary when he gets angry at me. I'm afraid he'll expose us, and I'm also afraid we'll break up."
Wen Jiu's originally heavy heart suddenly felt lighter. When Qiao Shinian said that she loved Qing Chen, even though he had known this for a long time, he still felt an unspeakable panic when she said it so seriously and sadly.
At this moment, after hearing what Qiao Shinian said, the panic in his heart lessened a lot, as if he was about to find a way to get rid of the panic.
"So many days have passed. Besides feeling sad, I have also thought about something important. Maybe my marriage with him should not have started." Qiao Shinian withdrew his hand, covered his face with both hands and sighed deeply: "He tried hard to understand my world. He wanted to fit in and have something in common with me."
Wen Jiu didn't say anything, just listened silently.
When she said this, her tears had wet her palms: "I tried hard to teach him, tried hard to tell him everything about my world. However, I forgot that he was born and raised in ancient times just like you, and you accepted the dynasty system. Although his mother treated him like this, he still loved his mother.
There is Princess Yu'an between him and me now. We don't have the same beliefs, and he won't make his utmost effort for the beliefs I want.
If I stay with him, I will be doomed to suffer in the future.
I have no family here, and few concerns. I can kill people I hate for what I want. He has a family and people he cares about. If we go to war with the Zhou Kingdom in the future, what will he do? "
Qiao Shinian's words were confusing and illogical, but Wen Jiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He understood what Qiao Shinian wanted to express, so he was moved by Qiao Shinian's words again.
Because Qiao Shinian always thought about them, not her and Mu Qingchen.
In other words, because of this bond, she was always on the same side with him, even though she liked Mu Qingchen.
At this moment, Wen Jiu was extremely happy that Qiao Shinian was not a love-brained person.
"Sister, I will always stand by your side. If we fight against the Zhou Kingdom in the future, how painful it will be for you. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. In this case, let's separate.
It's just another heartbreak. I will stay by your side as always until you get over the sadness of heartbreak again."
Wen Jiu took Qiao Shinian's hand and wiped away the tears from her hands with gentle movements and soft tone.
Qiao Shinian looked at Wen Jiu and whispered, "I... I want to say that if we can reconcile this time, you have to walk your own path in the future. I want to live an ordinary life with him. We don't talk about politics or the country."
Wen Jiu froze in his tracks. He looked up at Qiao Shinian in disbelief: "Sister, you don't want me anymore? You don't care about me anymore? Are you going to give up the world you want to create?"
Qiao Shinian didn't dare to look into Wen Jiu's eyes. She turned her head away and said, "I will provide you with the supplies you need, but as a prerequisite, you have to create a peaceful, just and fair world."
Wen Jiu took a deep breath and stood up to look at Qiao Shinian. He clenched his fists and said softly after a long while, "Sister, you may be too sad. It's okay. We'll talk again in two days. You should rest well today."
Wen Jiu kept backing away until he reached the door, then he opened it and ran out as if escaping.
He never expected that Qiao Shinian would actually back down. They had agreed to form a united front, so why would he be left alone for the sake of Mu Qingchen! ?
Mu Qingchen is such a disaster!
It was rare for Wen Jiu to lose his composure like this. He stood outside the restaurant, his hands on his hips, looking up at the sky.
"Your Highness." Yue Yu and Chun Xue quickly came out and stood behind Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu was panting, he waved his hand, and Chunxue approached.
"Is there any way to kill Mu Qingchen silently?" Wen Jiu almost didn't make a clear sound, but Chunxue's eyes widened in horror.
Jianwenjiu stared at her and she shook her head.
"Idiot! If there isn't any, find ways to create them!" Wen Jiu calmed down a little after he finished speaking. He looked at the people coming and going in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that Mu Qingchen was also worried about Qiao Shinian being here alone.
It seems that the chances of them getting back together are as high as 90%, so now he should pretend to be an obedient, sensible and reassuring younger brother.
·
The wedding banquet of the two was undoubtedly postponed.
More than half a month passed, and Mu Qingchen still didn't show up, but Qiao Shinian gradually stopped feeling sad.
She was looking forward to meeting Mu Qingchen, but if she really met Mu Qingchen, she would feel indebted and guilty because she had killed his sister and his mother's daughter.
She had been wondering why she had never thought of telling Mu Qingchen about this. After thinking about it, she concluded that it was because of Mu Qingchen's special identity.
From this incident, Qiao Shinian could see that although Mu Qingchen hated Princess Yu'an, on the other hand, he acknowledged the existence of Princess Yu'an.
His feelings towards Concubine Liu were not as cold as they seemed, so Qiao Shinian had to consider her and Mu Qingchen's future.
Mu Qingchen said that he would go with her to Chu Wen and would no longer be involved in the affairs of the Zhou Kingdom. Qiao Shinian now doubted the truthfulness of this matter.
Perhaps, he could do nothing at first, but once something happened to Concubine Liu, Mu Qingchen would definitely not stand idly by.
No, she should give in to love and, as she said before, stop interfering in anything.
She wanted to be with Mu Qingchen, have a good relationship, and marry and start a family with her lover.
Qiao Shinian looked at the street outside and thought that after this, she should think carefully about how terrible she was in this era.
She can bring more and more resources, which is a dimensionality reduction attack to this backward ancient country. If she keeps helping Wen Jiu, then wouldn’t it be unfair to other countries and other people?
She should think carefully about the importance of her existence. Although she is an ordinary person who can be injured and die, the supplies she can bring are an immeasurable miracle for the people of this era.
