The memories deep in her mind faded away like the waves, and Song Nihuan saw a blurry light in front of her eyes. There was a noble figure standing under the rain shelter, and the wind blew up the silk ribbons on the jade crown, fluttering and lonely.

The scene of being with Xie Yunji flashed before my eyes.

Many times, she thought she could spend the rest of her life with him.

Xie Yunji is a good husband in the eyes of everyone.

Over the past three years, his gentleness, consideration, and infatuation were like a dark cloud that covered the sky, enveloping her and making her unwilling to escape.

Those inexplicable anxieties finally had answers today.

It turned out to be because of Xie Tan.

She actually had a past relationship with Xie Tan... No wonder he always said strange things to her.

But in her current memory, Xie Tan was first a dissolute prostitute, and then when she met him again at Xie's house, he threatened her with her true identity, and then his inexplicable words and actions...

Song Nihuan labeled him a weird brother-in-law.

Now that I think about it, many of the things he did were for her own good.

If that's the case, why didn't he tell her about their relationship...

Song Nihuan felt moisture in the corner of her eyes, and then pain came from her wrist. She suddenly opened her eyes.

"The young lady is just too sad and her heart pulse is unstable. I will give her acupuncture and she will wake up. She must avoid being emotionally unstable." said the imperial physician who came down from the Mount Li Palace.

"Thank you, Doctor Huang." Xie Yunji said.

After the doctor left, Song Nihuan looked around and found that they were in a rain shelter in the mountains of Mount Li. Xie Yunji still had a gentle smile between his brows that was enough to melt the ice, "Nihuan."

He called her again.

This time calling Ni Huan is different from the previous times.

Song Nihuan then realized that he had been calling her and not anyone else.

How terrible.

He had known who she was for the past three years, yet he had still watched her act in front of him in silence.

Xie Yunji looked at the pale and weak person in front of him, and felt distressed. He held her wrist in his arms and asked in a dry voice, "Does it hurt?"

"It's a long way down the mountain. I was really worried that it would be too late to go to the clinic after I got down the mountain, so I asked the imperial physician to give you acupuncture."

Seeing him being as gentle and caring as always, Song Nihuan's vision suddenly blurred.

"Where is Lan Zhi?" she asked after calming herself down.

It was not until Xiao Huang's reminder that she realized that Pinga Fu Yu was actually her younger brother Song Lanzhi.

But everything about Lan Zhi in my memory is still vague. Only the natural sense of closeness and the heartache of seeing his miserable condition are real.

"He hasn't recovered yet, so he shouldn't be moved. He has to stay in the Lishan Palace." Xie Yunji paused and said seriously, "I didn't know he was your brother."

"When will the Second Prince leave for Langya?"

"Just these few days."

Song Nihuan nodded.

Xie Yunji's eyes were always on her face. She was really calm, as calm as if what had just happened had never happened.

This calmness frightened him.

"Lan Zhi has a special status and must be under the emperor's watch. I will bring you to see him often in the future, okay?" he said.

She didn't answer, but just looked at him steadily with complicated eyes.

Xie Yunji felt a little guilty. Firstly, he had never expected the incident with Song Lanzhi to have such a consequence. Secondly, his plot against her was exposed...

Fortunately, the despicable things he did were buried deep enough...

She will never know.

He picked up Song Nihuan by her legs, but she struggled to get down as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Xie Yunji felt his heart clenched hard, and asked bitterly, "What's wrong?"

"Since we have no relationship, let's just say goodbye. Xie Mansion is not my home, so I will not go back with my husband." She endured the heartache and said calmly, "Now that the second young master has passed away, this bad relationship between me and my husband should have ended long ago."

Xie Yunji had never been so scared before. She looked calm, but her face was as pale as paper. She wanted to separate from him without asking any questions...

"Bad fate? Is this all you've said after more than three years?" Xie Yunji's heart sank. "Could it be that this is just my wishful thinking? Your heart is harder than stone. It can't even warm up after three years. You don't care about our love as husband and wife at all?"

"I am the daughter of a criminal, a lowly woman, how can I be worthy of Xie Hanlin? Do you think it's fun to tease me? Xie Hanlin has a clever way of speaking and a great strategy. Ni Huan admires him, but he has been acting for three years and it's time to take a break." Song Ni Huan said, glancing at him coldly, not wanting to care about anything anymore, "Please let me go."

Xie Yunji's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his eyes were red. He was silent for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "My feelings for you are true, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that. Besides, I am your husband, and this is a fact that you cannot change even if you go to the ends of the earth."

"Husband?" She laughed with tears in her eyes, "You are Jiang Yao's husband. You have nothing to do with me, Song Nihuan."

"Ni Huan, whether you admit it or not, in my heart the person I married is you. Even if you think we are not husband and wife in name only, we are husband and wife in reality. In my heart, you are my only wife." Xie Yunji took a breath, calmed himself down and said, "In the beginning, it was indeed because of Xie Tan that I wanted to force you to marry me, but later... I don't know what happened to me, I developed such deep feelings for you."

It's not like he had never seen women more beautiful than Song Nihuan, but he had never felt such a possessive desire for her. He desperately wanted to make her his alone, to treat her as an equal and to spend the rest of his life with her.

When he found out that she didn't remember him, it goes without saying that he was delighted. His deliberate seduction during the process was just to make her fall in love with him.

Seeing her indifferent look, he was still panicked and said, "Don't be like this, don't misunderstand me. Don't you know how much I love you? Everything I do is to make you love me too. I will do whatever you want me to do, just don't leave me."

"How sincere are you to me? You know who I am, and you see me worrying about my identity, and you see me acting with the Jiang family in front of you. Do you think it's fun to humiliate me?

"I replaced Jiang Yao and married into the Xie Mansion. How dare you say you didn't know?" Song Nihuan's mind gradually became clear. She looked at him with increasingly cold and sharp eyes, and took a few steps back. "Did you do it? Did you deliberately let the Jiang couple save me and then arranged everything?"

Xie Yunji lowered his eyes, and there was mist on his thick eyelashes. His eyes were red, and he looked up at her, "It's me, I'm crazy about you, I want to get you so much, I want to give you a clean identity..."

"Ni Huan, it's my fault. I shouldn't have approached you with a purpose."

After hearing that he acquiesced to his guess, Song Nihuan asked in astonishment, "Then I was kidnapped by criminals and thrown on the official road of Ningzhou in the middle of winter. Was it also you who ordered it? And the thousand taels of gold that Xie Tan wanted to repay by selling his paintings and calligraphy, was it kidnapped by those people you sent?"
