Originally, did he deliberately take the bait?
Was he using ?
Yongping felt the voice that ca out wasn’t her own. Staring at his calm face, she involuntarily took two steps back: "She... she didn’t have an accident?"
"What do you think?" Xu Yin replied.
Yongping’s mind thundered, completely clueless on how to process it!
She was indeed very jealous of Liang Ning, she disliked her, even hated her! When Liang Ning died, she was secretly overjoyed! She thought even the heavens were helping her, aiding her in marrying Mr. Ruyi!
But Liang Ning was actually killed by Xu Yin!
How could this be?
How could he do such a thing?
Despite her jealousy and hatred for Liang Ning, she couldn’t deny that Liang Ning was exceedingly good to Xu Yin, so much so that even after five years of effort, there were still things Yongping couldn’t do!
Yet Xu Yin did not deny her suspicions!
"Why?"
A bone-chilling cold crawled up from Yongping’s soles to her heart like a snake.
"You should ask your father and brother about this matter." Xu Yin looked at her, "Do you know why Zhang Shicheng, that good-for-nothing, was favored by your father and your brother?"
Yongping didn’t know.
Xu Yin sneered lightly: "Because your father and your brother have a huge secret, a secret that could bring ruin to your Prince Rong’s Mansion. Back then, it was Zhang Shicheng who helped them cover it up. Liang Ning inadvertently got tangled in this secret. Because of Liang Ning, I was dragged in too."
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Only you would believe that your father paved the way for because I’m your husband, when in reality, he’s also using , using these interests to keep in check."
Yongping was shocked: "What secret? What did they do?"
"You don’t need to find that out. Knowing this much is enough."
Yongping opened and closed her mouth several tis before she could speak: "Then why are you telling all this? Are you planning to kill ?"
If he could kill Liang Ning, he could certainly kill her, Yongping!
"I won’t kill you." Xu Yin straightened his sleeves, "You needn’t worry, I have no intention to remarry. With you around, it saves the trouble of finding a new wife."
Yongping gritted her teeth: "Aren’t you afraid of Father finding out by treating like this?!"
"Do you think he doesn’t know?" Xu Yin smiled, "He probably warned you too, right? Except I imagine you wouldn’t have listened!"
"Then what exactly do you want?!" Yongping was on the verge of madness!
She couldn’t comprehend this person at all; it’s like she never knew him!
Which of his words were true and which were false, she couldn’t discern!
Xu Yin squatted down, looking at her: "As long as we remain husband and wife even for a day, we rise and fall together. You need to learn to consider in all matters, especially since we have a child together."
"You are the child’s mother, you have to think about him too. Now that you no longer hold the status of a royal relative, he can only rely on . In short, as long as I am well, you will be well. If I fall, not only will you suffer, but he will not survive, there are bound to be people who will devour him alive.
"For instance, our enemies."
Yongping shuddered, recalling what she endured today because of Fu Zhen. She regained a bit of sanity: "What do you want to do?"
Xu Yin squinted: "Your father has a jade bone fan, have you ever seen it?"
Yongping furrowed her brow and shook her head.
"I have seen it. I know he has it. Help get that fan, and I will personally teach the child."
Yongping’s chest heaved: "What you’re asking for is not an ordinary item? How could he possibly give it to !"
Xu Yin stood up: "If he won’t give it to you, don’t you still have your mother?
"Mrs. Zhang has beco your mortal enemy. Your brother is useless, and there’s also that kind of murder case weighing on him, he has to choose the Zhang Family.
"Zhe Yu is seriously injured now, your mother has no one to rely on.
"And you are only under house arrest for three years, after which you will be free again. Besides, you are still my wife, we have a child together, in her eyes, this marriage is very stable.
"She won’t give up on you."
Yongping bit her lower lip: "What is this fan? What can it bring you?"
"You don’t need to know that much. Just get it for ."
Yongping gritted her teeth: "What kind of jade bone fan is it then?"
"Engraved with a phoenix resting on a parasol tree. One of the bones has a broken mark."
Xu Yin smoothed his clothes, speaking softly: "Bring it to . Once I take the throne, you will have the chance to regain glory, won’t you?"
