He killed someone, she finished him off, even the crazy Marquis was shocked

what?

county lord?

There was surprise in Li Siwan's eyes, but Director Han was unusually calm.

"I think His Royal Highness Prince Heng is also drunk today. Yunniang is a native of our Kyoto, not the person His Royal Highness mentioned."

Director Han's tone was firm, and there was even a hint of anger in it.

Seeing this, Xiao Shuoheng said no more.

"In that case, I will leave first. However, if Miss Yunniang has figured it out, you can come to the post station to find me at any time. After my brother ascended the throne, he has always wanted to redress the injustice for the palace, but he has no one to appeal, so he can't bring up this case."

"Your Highness, please."

Director Han asked Xiao Shuoheng to leave in a very firm manner, and the room fell silent.

From beginning to end, Yunniang didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Li Siwan turned around and was about to leave.

"I'll go downstairs and keep an eye on it, you guys chat."

"and many more."

Yunniang suddenly spoke up and reached out to pull Li Siwan back, "I asked you to come up so that I can be honest about everything."

Li Siwan's doubts were confirmed.

"Is it... true?"

Yunniang sighed helplessly, poured out a glass of wine and drank it all.

"It turns out that one's past cannot be escaped after all."

"If you don't want to tell us, we won't ask."

Director Han made the promise and Li Siwan nodded.

Yunniang had already made up her mind.

He pulled Li Siwan to sit on one side and then spoke slowly.

"That's right, I am Chao Yuan, also Yun Rou. I am the once noble and favored Princess Chao Yuan of Dong Xiao State, and I am also Yun Rou, the courtesan in that brothel who was played with by others."

There was a hint of sob in Yunniang's voice, and Li Siwan could understand the courage and torment she went through to say this in person.

Director Han's eyes were filled with heartache, and he didn't even dare to look at Yunniang.

Li Siwan held Yunniang's hand tightly and comforted her.

Yunniang continued.

"We, the Prince Yong Mansion, have never been interested in power, and have always remained neutral in the court disputes. Father usually gives out porridge to save people, and we have lived in peace for a long time in our fiefdom."

"Until five years ago, floods hit many cities outside the fiefdom, causing countless casualties and suffering for the people."

"In order to save the people, my father left his fiefdom without permission and sold all his property to help the people in many cities. This was originally a good deed, but I didn't expect it to become a death warrant."

Hearing this, Li Siwan probably had guessed what would happen next.

"If I'm not mistaken, because the good deeds of Prince Yong were praised and spread by the people, they won their hearts, so his merits surpassed his master. In the eyes of the king, he was considered to be buying people's hearts and plotting something bad."

"Yes, my father only wanted to live a carefree life, but because of his kindness, he gave someone with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of him."

Yunniang's expression darkened, her eyes filled with hatred.

"I don't know whether His Majesty did it intentionally or unintentionally, but on the grounds that my father had made great contributions, he gave him the status of an inspector to inspect various places and investigate any injustice."

"So my father became a thorn in the eyes of all parties. The Earl's Mansion has been embezzling money for generations, and they are afraid that my father will find out something, so they secretly framed him and said that my father was secretly colluding with the army and intending to rebel."

Yunniang clenched her fists, her eyes were red, and her whole body was shaking.

"I will always remember that day. They carried my father's head and broke down the gate of our Yong Palace. They said that the emperor would kill without mercy and ruthlessly killed everyone in our palace. The whole palace was filled with blood. My mother fell in front of me, but I could do nothing. I..."

Yunniang choked up and Li Siwan couldn't help but shed tears.

Director Han on the side couldn't help it after all.

He walked forward and took Yunniang into his arms.

"do not talk."

"No, I'm going to say it."

Yunniang pushed away Han Chu's arms, her eyes fierce and full of murderous intent.

"I had to avenge my blood feud, even if it meant losing my life, so I became Yun Rou. I was extremely charming and used all means, and finally, I was able to seduce the lecherous eldest son of the Earl's Mansion."

"I have been living in the fiefdom since I was a child. No one knows me. After some tricks, I entered the Earl's Mansion very smoothly."

When Yunniang said this, there was madness in her eyes.

There is also the pleasure of revenge.

"I remember that night very clearly. Their figures curled up on the ground in pain all over the mansion were just like the corpses scattered all over the ground in the palace that day. It was really refreshing."

"I wanted to die with them, but unfortunately I was saved by someone. I don't know who saved me. When I woke up, I was already in Southern Ji State. There was a little girl beside me, Xiao Luo. She was an orphan that the eldest son had taken as a concubine. She hated him so much. I killed them and gave her freedom."

"She told me that after escaping death, I should live well. Instead of dying, I might as well do something meaningful. I suddenly remembered what my father said: that life should have its own value, so I stayed."

Hearing this, Li Siwan understood, "So you started to rescue those girls."

"Yes, they are all poor people in troubled times. I will help as many as I can."

Li Siwan sighed, his eyes filled with heartache.

She knew that Yunniang had an unusual past.

But I didn't expect it to be so tragic.

In this way, she also understood why Yunniang had always rejected Han Chu.

She didn't dare to think about it, let alone ask how she had escaped from the massacre of the Prince Yong's Mansion.

He turned his gaze to Director Han, who was filled with grief and anger, and stood up wisely.

"I'll go keep an eye on the guests downstairs."

After that, he turned around and walked out.

As soon as the door was closed, the room was filled with silence.

After a long while, Yunniang slowly spoke, "Director Han, we..."

Before Yunniang could finish her words, Han Chu had already pulled her into his arms again.

"Why would you want to reveal the scars you've worked so hard to hide? Just to reject me again?"

"Director Han, it's impossible for us."

"No, nothing is impossible. In my heart, you will always be Yunniang, the kind and brave Yunniang."

"Director Han, it's different. I've been in a brothel, married, and killed people..."

"I don't care. I just hate that I didn't meet you earlier, protect you, or even do all this for you."

Yunniang's eyes were red and tears welled up in an instant.

But she still pushed Director Han away tremblingly.

"Then do you know how I survived when my family was exterminated?"

As Yunniang spoke, she reached out and untied her belt.

When Han Chu subconsciously tried to avoid looking at her, her clothes half-removed and he saw the scar on her lower back.

"They said they had never tasted the princess's flavor, so they took turns to taste it..."

"do not talk!"

"And in order to stay alive, I have to please them over and over again."

"do not talk..."

"I am dirty and you are spotless, I..."

"It's my fault. I should have been one step earlier. Just one step..."

Director Han half-knelt on the ground, trembling and shedding tears.

But this sentence made Yunniang stunned, "What did you just say?"

Director Han held Yunniang's hand tightly and gradually put his arms around her waist.

"Yun Niang, do you really think that I know nothing about your past and everything about you?"
