The Rest of My Life

Fortunately, Senior Jiang only had a gloomy face and didn't attack me.

Other than facing Senior Jiang's hostility, everything else went smoothly for me.

Ever since the post was posted, rumors broke down and the school immediately withdrew their investigations.

And the Shen family is methodically organizing the betrothal banquet, so I don't need to think too much about it.

I was very free every day, and coincidentally, since Li Yao was not busy these days, I contacted her frequently.

She also heard that I was going back to the Shen family and asked if it was true.

Of course I wouldn't hide it from her, I even told her about my visit to the Shen family.

While she was happy for me, she also seemed a little surprised. After all, I had always resisted getting involved with the Shen family.

I couldn't explain to her that I wanted to find out what had happened, so I explained, "My mother was from the Shen family after all. I wanted her to recognize me as her ancestor."

Li Jun expressed her understanding.

I hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's right, the Shen family is hosting a banquet. You … Will you come with me? "

She stayed silent for a while before saying, "I'm sorry, I was supposed to accompany you … But I... I can't do it... "I better not go …"

She probably doesn't want to see Shen Zixian.

Actually, I was worried about this as well. Otherwise, I would have already sent her a post and would not have asked this question so carefully.

I naturally didn't mind. On the contrary, I comforted her, "It's fine, it's fine. Actually, I don't like to attend banquets either. I had no choice but to go this time."

Afraid that she would be upset at the thought of Shen Zixian, I quickly changed the subject and began to chat with her about the stream.

She told me that Creek was planning to study abroad.

I was surprised.

I tried to get in touch with the creek yesterday, but she didn't mention it to me.

"It was a decision made today. She probably didn't have the time to tell you."

It was very normal for her to know this news first, since it seemed that they had been seeing each other every day for the past few days.

I guessed that the creek must have hurt my heart, so I decided to leave.

After I hung up the phone, I called the brook and asked her when she was going to leave the country.

She hesitated. "Actually, my family doesn't agree. I originally wanted to tell you about it when things are settled …"

I didn't mind if she didn't talk to me first, just worried about her mood.

Her voice was somewhat downcast as she said, "It's going to be the new year soon. We definitely won't be able to leave this year. I think we'll leave again next spring …" After a pause, she continued, "While I'm still in the country, I need to gather more with you."

I smiled and agreed.

After hearing that Wen Chu had proposed to cancel the engagement, the family had agreed. Now, the brook and Wen Chu were no longer unmarried couples.

She should be very upset.

After the Shen Family's banquet, I wanted to ask her and Li Jun out to relax.

A week passed quickly and the next day was the day that the Shen family held the banquet.

In the afternoon Zhou Xun came early to pick me up.

I thought it was about going home and getting ready for the party tomorrow.

After getting on the car, Zhou Xun said, "I'll take you to a place."

Finally, the car stopped at the Violet Garden.

This was a mental hospital famous for both the emperor and himself. Last time, GuQiong had almost been detained here.

I was very confused. I did not know why Zhou Xun would bring me here.

Could it be that Gu Qiong was sent back?

Until late at night.

I was curious about how Zhou Xun dealt with her, but it turns out she was sent here.

She was locked in a dark room, and when we went in she was curled up in a corner. Her wounds didn't seem to have healed yet, and there was a rotten smell.

I remember the first time I saw her, she took Aunt Zhou's arm and smiled coquettishly.

But now, he was in a worse situation than the beggars on the road.

She looked up at the sound.

His face was scrawny and his eyes were glazed, as if he didn't recognize me or Zhou Xun.

I thought about it for a moment. She was probably in the same state as Aunt Zhou, scared stiff.

For some reason, I suddenly thought of Gudgeon.

GuQiong tried to kill me several times and even shot at me. Compared to coming late, GuQiong's methods were much more ruthless.

However, because GuQiong's family background was better than his family's, he was only sent abroad, so his life was very comfortable.

In the evening, he was locked up here. Right now, he was neither human nor ghost.

But I have no sympathy for her.

It was entirely her fault that she had become like this.

Furthermore, she urged Aunt Zhou to deal with me and send me to the court. If the court didn't intend to harm me, I would have been dead by now.

But... Why did Zhou Xun bring me to see her?

I looked doubtfully at Zhou Xun.

He put his arm around my shoulder and said, "Nightfall has already told me everything he knows. But basically, Qin Xueman has already told me. To me, this information isn't very useful."

I grew more and more suspicious.

Since that's the case, why did he bring me here today?

The corners of his lips curled up as his gaze swept over the crowd. "I've only brought you here so that you can see the consequences of offending the Zhou family." He said softly, "So you don't have to be afraid of those people. This is the result of whoever dares to touch you."

I had a strange feeling in my heart.

His words were warning, and Nightfall was already delirious, so who was he speaking to?

Could it be … There are others in this room?

I thought for a moment and followed his words. "Uncle Zhou, are you going to keep her locked up like this forever?"

Zhou Xun said coolly, "If you stay here for two years, the hospital can issue you a suicide certificate."

My heart skipped a beat.

This move of his was indeed powerful.

Suicide in a mental hospital was a very normal thing, and no one would suspect anything.

I suddenly had a new understanding of Zhou Xun.

He really did have a grudge, a grudge against someone. What was even more shocking was that his wrist was so powerful that it could easily make someone disappear without making a sound.

Perhaps because she had heard Zhou Xun's words, Xiang Wan's eyes slowly began to twitch.

She stared at Zhou Xun for a good while before finally recognizing him.

In the next second, a hint of fear flashed across her eyes.

Presumably, she had already understood the meaning behind Zhou Xun's suicide certificate.

She suddenly threw herself at Zhou Xun, screaming miserably, "Cousin, let me go! Let me go! "

However, she had only moved once before being restrained by her bodyguard.

I could smell the stench on her, and her face was twisted and hideous.

She was still crying and begging, "I can be a spy... I can help you get more info... "Cousin, please give me one more chance …"

Zhou Xun ignored her and instructed Zhou Ning to keep her locked up. He then led me out.

"Zhou Xun, you are too cruel! Are you even thinking about it!? Just watch, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off! "

When I hear it in my ears, I feel very uncomfortable.

She was clearly the one who had done something wrong, so why would she bother Zhou Xun even after she had become a ghost?

I stopped and coldly stared back at her. "Late at night, an evil person like you will be brought to the 18 Hells after you become a ghost. King Yan will not let you come out to harm people."

With that, I pulled Zhou Xun away.

Zhou Xun's hand, which he had been holding, was warm in his palm, calming me down from my fear.

After we got into the car, he came over and kissed my face. He said gently, "It's fine. What she says cannot be counted."

I hugged him tightly. "Alright, you'll be fine."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he stroked my hair without making a sound.

When the car started, I suddenly thought of something and asked, "Right, was there anyone else in the house just now?"

Zhou Xun looked deeply at me and said, "Darling, you're really smart." He paused, then said, "A doctor was bought by a mercenary. He installed a surveillance camera in Xiang Wan's room."

So that's how it was.

Therefore, his intimidating words were purposely spoken for the other party to hear.

Zhou Xun explained, "The royal court seems to value the evening very much. They sent someone to save her. I've already made the arrangements, so let's see when they can take action."
