Qian Manman was stunned for a moment, then smiled with her eyes curved, laughing at her own pathetic self.
In Yan Yongchen's mind, how stupid must she be to think that her daughter was in danger and to threaten her with her own life.
She didn't pretend to hesitate and said bluntly: "I will choose to let Sister Xi live."
Yan Yongchen's eyes turned colder, "Why? Could it be that Sister Xi is so important to Man'er?"
Qian Manman did not dodge, her eyes looked straight at him, "Sister Xi and my husband are equally important to me. If I can choose, I want all the people I care about to live well. But if I can only choose one person to live, I choose Sister Xi, she is still so young, she needs to live well. My husband has lived twenty years longer than Sister Xi, so I choose my husband to go first. Then, I will accompany my husband to the underworld."
Yan Yongchen's expression eased a little, and he took Qian Manman's hand and sighed, "To be honest, I am the one who is sorry for Xi Jie'er. She escaped far away and could have lived a free life. It was me who forced her into this den of trouble, which led to today's disaster."
Qian Manman pretended not to know, "How did my husband force Sister Xi? Why did he force Sister Xi?"
"Alas..." Yan Yongchen sighed again, "I wanted Sister Xi to win over the emperor and escort my future career, so I put an insect poison on you, Man'er, to tie your life to hers. In order to survive, she had to leave her two children behind and enter the palace as a concubine to pave the way for my career."
Qian Manman's eyes widened, "Children? When did Sister Xi have a child?"
"Sister Xi was pregnant when she faked her death and escaped. The child is Prince Dingbei's. If you count carefully, the two kids are now over three years old, and will be four years old by the end of the year. Sister Xi and Prince Dingbei both have good looks, so the appearance of their children must be good. I am really curious about what the two children look like." Yan Yongchen looked at the pink tree with a blurred look, as if he was imagining what the two children looked like.
Qian Manman was so shocked that she didn't say anything for a long time.
In her dream, Sister Xi did not seem to have any children. She thought that Sister Xi was still single, and she didn't know that her daughter had become a mother without telling anyone.
Wait, Yan Yongchen just said that he put a Gu on her, tying her life and Xi Jie'er's life together?
She pulled her hand back angrily and asked sternly, "Yan Yongchen, when did you put the poison on me? Why is Xijie'er's life tied to mine?"
Yan Yongchen lowered his eyes and looked over, explaining in a gentle voice: "Man'er, don't be angry. I wanted Xijie'er to be my own at that time, so I could only use you to restrain her. I also never expected that Xijie'er would suffer such a disaster, and Man'er would also be implicated. Well, let's not say these discouraging words. King Dingbei and the emperor both take Xijie'er to heart. No matter who wins in the end, they will definitely not let Xijie'er die."
Qian Manman roughly understood that the so-called tying the lives of the two together meant living and dying together.
If Xi Jie'er died, she would also die. Conversely, if she died, Xi Jie'er would not be able to live again.
Her rationality collapsed in an instant, and she angrily questioned Yan Yongchen, "Xi Jie'er and I are nearly twenty years apart in age. How could you let her die with me?"
Yan Yongchen said disapprovingly, "It's just a matter of living a few years less. Compared to my career and family honor, it's nothing. Besides, Man'er should take good care of herself. If she can live a hundred years, the poison will have little effect on Sister Xi."
Hearing this shameless fallacy, Qian Manman's temper and strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, "So, if Sister Xi can't escape the current disaster, I will die too, right?"
Yan Yongchen's eyes flashed with guilt, and he took her hand again, "Man'er, don't worry. Sister Xi will be safe."
Qian Manman did not withdraw her hand, allowing the big palm to gently soothe her. After a long time, she forced a smile, "My husband is right. Sister Xi will be safe. I believe my husband."
After being married for more than 20 years, the words she said most often were that she believed in him. When the time came, she still chose to believe in him.
She pulled her hand away and picked up the wine cup in front of her. "It's been a long time since I sat down with my husband to eat. Let's have a drink!"
Yan Yongchen snatched the wine cup from her hand and said, "Man'er, you are not well yet and cannot drink. I can drink this wine by myself."
After saying this, Yan Yongchen drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. As if he was not satisfied yet, he drank another glass of wine.
Qian Manman looked at her calmly, watching the person in front of her change color, touch his chest in pain, and finally fall to the ground in agony. Her vision gradually blurred.
The moment her tears fell, she rushed over and hugged Yan Yongchen who fell to the ground in pain.
Sister Hui clearly said that this Zuixin Powder is colorless and tasteless, and is the poison with the least pain in causing death. Why is he still in so much pain?
Yan Yongchen looked at Qian Manman, his eyes full of disbelief, "Is there poison in the wine?"
Qian Manman nodded in panic, "Well, I put intoxicating powder in the wine. I, I want our sister Xi to be alive."
"How do you know that if I die, Sister Xi will live?"
"I had a dream, a very long dream... The old lady in the dream said that if her husband died, Yu Jinzhou would also die. Only if Yu Jinzhou died could our Xijie live."
It turned out to be like this. Yan Yongchen raised his hand with difficulty, grabbed Qian Manman's collar, and threatened with gritted teeth, "But I don't want to die. I haven't lived enough! Do you have an antidote? Give me the antidote quickly..."
Seeing that his face was distorted with pain, Qian Manman burst into tears, "No, there is no antidote. I don't want my husband to die, but I want our sister Xi to be alive. She has suffered too much from us... I originally wanted to die with my husband, but my husband has put a curse on me. What should I do? How can I die... Husband, husband..."
"Antidote, give me the antidote, you vicious woman, I don't want to die, I can't die..." Yan Yongchen's face was hideous, his body twisted in pain, and blood gushed out of his mouth.
Qian Manman hugged him tightly, holding him with all her strength. The underworld must be extremely cold, so she had to hold him tighter so that he wouldn't be so cold when he went on the journey alone.
After his internal organs felt extreme pain, they finally became numb, and Yan Yongchen's expression returned to his usual indifference.
Looking at the silly woman in front of me who was crying uncontrollably, I really wanted to raise my hand to wipe her tears, but I didn't even have the strength to raise my hand.
He couldn't understand, how could a person be so stupid? She had been trampled by a heartless man for half her life, she had lost herself, hurt her loved ones, and lived like a joke. Now that the heartless man was going to die, shouldn't she be happy? Why was she crying? What was there to be sad about?
Alas! This silly woman is so silly that it makes people feel distressed. She has been foolishly deceived for half her life, and she will continue to be deceived for the rest of her life! Such a foolish person is not worthy of being with him.
A fool should have good fortune. Without his Hoho, Sha Maner can return to the side of her father who loves her the most, and live a truly happy life with granddaughters and grandchildren around her.
