The Rest of My Life

The moment Zhou An made his move, Nightfall was so frightened that his face paled. He began to struggle violently.

Unfortunately, she was tied up and had bodyguards holding her down, so she couldn't move at all.

The dagger stabbed into her knee.

The flesh on her knees had been cut open and her bones exposed. The bloody look on her face was horrifying.

I froze.

To tell the truth, I really didn't expect Zhou An to attack so easily, and it was such a bloody scene at that.

I wasn't as shocked as I had been when I was about to cut open my stomach with a knife.

The impact was so strong that the air was filled with the smell of blood, probably due to pregnancy, and I had a physical reaction.

I covered my mouth and almost vomited.

As he looked at Zhou Xun again, his expression did not change. He was completely unmoved.

I couldn't help but admire his mental fortitude.

Just as I was hesitating whether I should go out and get some fresh air, I saw Zhou Xun get up and walk towards me.

I was stunned.

Before I could react, he had already leaned over and covered my eyes. "Don't look."

I felt the warmth of his palm.

He sat beside me and whispered, "Baby, are you okay?"

I blinked and didn't say anything.

Zhou Xun took me in his arms and gently massaged my temples.

His mint scent made me feel better, but at the same time it made me uncomfortable.

We have done more intimate things in the past, but now I am different from him. We are going to separate now.

I struggled.

He hugged me even more tightly and didn't give me the chance to break free. He whispered in my ear, "Don't move."

I bit the corner of my lip and said nothing.

His voice was gentle and low as he said, "Our baby probably doesn't like this kind of scene. But he's my son so sooner or later he'll experience this kind of scene. You can only bear with it, darling."

With him by my side, and the mint on his body, I felt so much more at ease that I didn't struggle any longer.

After a while, I whispered, "I'm fine."

He released the hand that was covering my eyes and said in a low voice, "There will be an even uglier scene to follow. If you can't take it, you have to tell me."

Wasn't this the end?

Was he really going to cut off Wan Xiang's four limbs and cut off her tongue?

I couldn't help but look at the night.

At this moment, she was on the verge of fainting due to the pain. The blood on her knees was gurgling, and her bones and flesh could be seen. It was truly terrifying.

Hearing Zhou Xun's words, her expression instantly turned malevolent and she began to whimper.

She suddenly crawled towards Zhou Xun. Zhou An and the bodyguard didn't stop her, but her hands were stained with the blood on her knees. They left two streaks of blood on the ground, which was especially shocking.

I began to feel sick again.

Zhou Xun caressed my face and said, "Darling, how about you go out first?"

I hesitated and shook my head.

Although the scene was bloody, I wanted to know what would happen in the end.

Only by seeing her punished with my own eyes can I be at ease.

Halfway through the climb, he fainted.

Her knees were still bleeding, horrible and pathetic.

However, Zhou Xun didn't plan on letting her go. He turned to look at Zhou An.

Zhou An immediately understood. He ordered someone to bring in a bucket of cold water and poured it directly onto Wan Xiang's face.

Ye Zichen woke up with a start.

It was most likely because Zhou Xun had scared her too much just now. A look of fear appeared on her face as she sobbed, begging with a pleading look in her eyes.

Zhou Xun said, "Let her speak."

Zhou An stepped forward and tore off the cloth covering Nightfall's mouth.

Nightfall immediately shouted in a sharp voice, "Cousin, Cousin, please spare me …" I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything! "

Zhou Xun raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that all you want to say?"

Wan Zhenghao's expression froze, as if he didn't understand what Ye Zichen had meant.

Actually, I was also a little taken aback.

Could it be that Wan Xiang was hiding something else?

He then heard Zhou Xun say, "When you were reading about assassins, did you think that I would not let you off?"

I was stunned.

So he was trying to seek justice for me?

Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes as he stared at Nightfall and said word by word, "You should be glad that you did not have the time to recite the words to me. Otherwise, no matter where you run, I will chase you to the end, so that you cannot beg for death."

His tone was calm, but it carried an indescribable deterrence.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved.

He was a very loyal person. As long as he could be accepted into his family, he would definitely do his best to protect him.

Actually, if it wasn't because of the death of my mother and if he didn't tell me to go see Ye Beibei, and if he just secretly likes him, I definitely wouldn't leave him.

He was too warm. He was really nice to me.

What a pity … There were so many questions between us that I couldn't stay with him any longer and enjoy his gentleness.

He turned to me at once and kowtowed heavily, sobbing and begging, "Cousin, I was wrong! I have a cruel heart, I'm not a thing, I shouldn't have done anything to you! I promise there won't be a next time... Please forgive me... "I swear, I won't cause any more trouble for you in the future …"

I didn't believe her tears or her vows.

A person like her with a broken conscience couldn't be trusted with a single word.

Right now, she can kowtow to me and beg for forgiveness. But if I let her go, as long as she has the chance, she will definitely kill me again without any hesitation.

So I stayed silent.

After kowtowing a few more times, his forehead immediately had marks on it. If he were to kowtow any longer, blood would definitely flow out.

My heart was still soft, but she was too vicious for me to forgive her.

I turned my head away, still intending to ignore her.

Zhou Xun held me close, as if in silent support of my decision.

My heart warmed.

She probably knew that I wouldn't reply to her, so she quickly changed her mind. She turned to Zhou Xun and shouted, "Cousin, I really know where Qin Xueman is! As long as you let me go, not only will I tell you about Qin Xueman's journey east, I will also tell you about the secret of the court! Cousin, please, please forgive me this once … This time, I have been possessed. I promise that I will never find trouble with my cousin ever again … If you don't get over it, cut off both my legs … Please leave me with my life … "

She could see that Zhou Xun did not intend to keep her any longer.

However, Zhou Xun said, "It's too late."

Nightfall's expression froze.

Zhou Xun lightly said, "I told you to confess, but you insisted on negotiating the terms with me. It's useless begging now, because I no longer want to know Qin Xueman's whereabouts, nor do I want to know the secret of the court."

I couldn't help but look at him.

Was he bluffing? Otherwise, how could he not want to know about Qin Xueman and the court?

Zhou Xun seemed to know what I was thinking and quietly held my hand, as if telling me not to think too much.

Then he looked down at me and whispered, "Recite, are you satisfied with the punishment I just said?"

I was stunned for a moment before I understood what he meant. The punishment he meant was to cripple Wan Xiang's limbs and then cut off her tongue.

Actually, after knowing that Xiang Wan had kidnapped me, I started thinking about how I should punish her.

Of course, sending her to jail was a good idea, but behind her was the court, and the court was not a simple person. Maybe one day she would be rescued at night, and once I had the court's help, it would be very easy to capture me.

But I couldn't think of a better way to intimidate her and stop her from targeting me.

So I never made up my mind.

Now that Zhou Xun has proposed this punishment, I think it's pretty good.

With no hands or feet and no tongue, it was useless.

After that she would be put in jail in Taun Sin Prefecture. The court wouldn't have come to her rescue in time to save her, and she probably wouldn't have been able to order anyone to arrest me.

However … It wouldn't be good to pull her tongue out and hand it to Tao Zhizhou, would it?

After all, the police might need to provide information to the court late at night.

Thus, I whispered my doubts to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun replied, "It's fine. She's useful in the court, but of no use to me and Team Tao."

I didn't quite understand what he meant.

If it's no use, why arrest her and hand her over to Tao Zhizhou?

Zhou Xun gently touched my face with his fingertips and said, "If she didn't touch you, I would have let her stay by the side of the court. But if she dared to make a move against you, there would be no use in keeping her. As for why I handed it over to Captain Tao, I told him, so of course it was to make him report back. "

So, he intentionally let Nightfall go because he could delay the court, but because he wanted to hurt me, he decided to completely destroy Nightfall.

An inexplicable emotion rose in me.

After a long while, I opened my mouth and said, "Then …" Will it affect your plans? "

Zhou Xun smiled faintly and said: "It's alright. There are many methods to deal with this grand court. We might not even be able to pass this line."

I still feel guilty.

However, things had already gotten to this point. If I continued speaking, it would seem unreasonable, so I said, "I'll listen to you."

Zhou Xun acknowledged and said, "Alright then."

I nodded, suddenly aware that he was still holding me.

I was feeling much better now, and I felt embarrassed. I quickly pushed him on the chest and broke away from his embrace.

But he held me tighter, and his hands closed around my fingers so tightly that I had nowhere to run.

Since I can't break free, I can only let him do as he pleases.

After all, it was all thanks to him that I was able to destroy the bridge after crossing the river.

The corners of Zhou Xun's lips curled up slightly as he said in a warm tone, "Let's head out. We'll leave this to Little An."

I nodded and didn't object.

Earlier, when Zhou An stabbed at Nightfall's knee with his dagger, I was already unable to endure it any longer. The punishment later on will only be more bloody, so it was better for me to avoid him.

Zhou Xun led me out.

Nightfall seemed to become anxious and shouted mournfully, "Cousin, don't go …" Let me go... I don't want to be a mute … "

Zhou Xun turned a deaf ear, as if he had not heard her.

It was very late at night, and she was probably silenced by Zhou An.

I didn't look back at her.

Since Zhou Xun had already decided where she was going, she wasn't important to me anymore. As for the fact that she wanted to hurt me and my child, this time, I had my revenge.

When Zhou Xun and I walked out of the room, we saw Shen Zixian sitting on the sofa in the hall with his arms crossed and glaring at us.

His eyes fell on the hand where Zhou Xun and I were holding hands.

I shuddered and quickly broke free of Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun gave me a deep look and let me go this time.

Shen Zixian sneered, and said: "Wednesday sure is impressive, treating this place as your own territory."
