Chapter 505: A Tribute to the Border Warriors V
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A gentleman prefers death to humiliation. If two countries were engaged in war, killing the enemy’s general was acceptable. Humiliating people… was it not too much?
“Qing Yuan!”
Ziyan saw Qing Yuan wanting to move forward. She hurriedly took his hand as her heart thumped quickly.
Nalan Zhangqian and Nalan Jing…
Moreover, looking at the situation, they were unlikely to survive.
Thinking of what Liu Yun Kingdom had done to Long Ao Kingdom, she felt an indescribable but refreshing feeling in her heart as well as the pleasure of revenge when she saw Nalan Zhangqian being trampled under someone else’s feet.
“Qing Yuan. That person… is my former fiancé.”
Qing Yuan stopped.
He knew that Ziyan had a fiancé called Nalan Jing. The marriage had ended up with nothing.
That person… was Nalan Jing?
Ziyan lowered her eyes and looked sad. “In the beginning, I was sent by Father to marry Nalan Jing for the purpose of the countries’ alliance. I initially did not like him, but he often visits Long Ao Kingdom deliberately to please me… Later, he had an affair with my maid—the one you saw last time.”
Qing Yuan was stunned. The masked maid appeared in his mind. Somehow, he had always felt a little strange whenever he recalled the masked maid.
But that feeling quickly vanished again.
“Then what?” Qing Yuan frowned and asked.
Ziyan smiled. “I never want to s.n.a.t.c.h someone’s lover.” Therefore, she gave Nalan Jing to her maid. Who would have known that Nalan Jing is not a person with an incurable pa.s.sion? He abandoned my maid after sleeping with her. He caused my maid to lose her voice and even ruined her face because she was reluctant! I pitied my maid, so I allowed her to stay by my side since.”
Qing Yuan was the kind of person who would never investigate his lover’s past.
Therefore, he only knew that Ziyan had had a fiancé—none other than that.
Coupled with the annulment of the alliance between both countries, Long Ao Kingdom’s Council never it announced in public.
The Nalan family felt disgraced after being given a cold-shoulder. Therefore, they also did not announce the annulment to the public either.
So far… no one knew the reason for the annulment.
“A member of the Nalan family, the general of a kingdom, how could he be such a loser?” Qing Yuan frowned as he felt an aversion. If he had fallen in love with someone, he would never care about her ident.i.ty. He would not touch the girl’s body before marriage.
Nalan Jing—this villain should not be saved!
Qing Yuan shook his head and felt pity as he thought of the masked maid’s encounter. “The girl was very miserable. She was married to a bad husband.”
Ziyan closed her eyes, hiding the feeling of abomination and hatred in her eyes.
When she looked up, she immediately smiled gently.
“Qing Yuan. You don’t understand the world at all. My maid, she was just a turf-hunter. Otherwise, she would not have seduced him knowing he was my fiancé. In the end, she was abandoned. It serves her right. I sympathize with her, but it doesn’t mean that I acknowledge her behavior.”
Ziyan smiled with pure eyes. “To me, power is not that important. You are now a member of Fengyun Manor. If you want to leave Fengyun Manor one day, I am willing to endure the hardships of traveling and going to the ends of the earth with you.”
Qing Yuan’s felt a sense of warmth. He suppressed the pity he had for the maid after hearing Ziyan’s confession.
