Seeing Sikong Jing's utterly bewildered face, Jiang Wanyou spoke softly, "Just consider it helping Aunt Jiang. Take it."
With her putting it that way, Sikong Jing finally had no choice but to accept the jade pendant.
Then, somewhat curiously, he asked, "Aunt Jiang, do you believe what Hua Lidian said? Then, in the future..."
Shaking her head, Jiang Wanyou gently cut him off. "I believe everything he said, because you were the one who told me. I believe your judgment of Hua Lidian could never be wrong..."
"Of course, I won't keep misunderstanding and refusing to forgive him like Mei Xi did. But there can no longer be a future between him and me."
Jiang Wanyou's voice remained tranquil and unruffled, as if she had completely freed herself after untying the knot in her heart that had lingered for years.
"Perhaps there are still some feelings for him in my heart."
"But I cannot wrong my husband now. People always have to make a choice, so the one I choose now is... Yao Yulou."
"This is taking responsibility for Yulou, for Hua Lidian, and even more so for Mei Xi."
Somewhere outside the courtyard, a figure in white trembled violently from head to toe.
Sikong Jing, too, stared blankly at Jiang Wanyou before him. All he could still say about Hua Lidian was: fate played cruel tricks.
But there was another matter—was Yao Yulou himself the one who had forced them into this? Thinking it over, it did not seem so, because Yao Yulou had only come into contact with Jiang Wanyou a year after Hua Lidian left...
However, it was very likely that the people of the Thousand Kings Holy Tower had forced it.
And now, had Yao Yulou truly betrayed the Thousand Kings Holy Tower from his heart?
