Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 12: I’m Kneeling Before You

It’s still a faint response.

The candlelight flickered slightly as the wind passed by. The originally dim room, with the wax candles and the exquisite wooden lantern brought by Ye Zhi, was a bit brighter than usual.

The room had an air of serene tranquility.

Not asking for more at this mont would be foolish!

Ye Zhi climbed up along the bamboo pole, smiling charmingly: "By then, I will invite Li Du and Ah Tao, and we can go out for a fun day; I’ll take you to Jingxin Building for so delicious food."

As soon as she finished speaking.

The air in the room seed to drop by a few degrees, and the person opposite returned to a frosty deanor!

Uh, what now?

Previously, Ye Zhi’s "good friend" Li Du and those official offspring would beat and scold him when they visited the Ye Mansion, never showing a kind face, taking pleasure in bullying him.

Shen Wan also knew that he wished for such an outco, and over ti, he got used to it.

He thought, why would they treat him so well, turns out it was to make him lower his guard, right?

Then tornt him fiercely, this trick was truly harsh.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

Ye Zhi probably figured it out too and sighed in her heart: Alas, she had to act again.

She looked at the specks of water on the floor, glanced around this room, and found that only the couch beside them was sowhat clean.

She took off her wet shoes, climbed onto the carved brown wooden couch beside Shen Chen, and knelt down.

Raising three fingers, she earnestly and solemnly said to him:

"Shen Chen, I know I used to like to bully you, but I know I was wrong, and I won’t do it anymore. I know you won’t believe now, but I will prove it with actions. A woman’s knees have gold beneath them; she kneels before the Emperor above and her parents below. To show my sincerity, I’m kneeling to guarantee it to you, and I will kowtow to you."

After finishing her sentence, she adjusted her skirt and indeed knelt and bowed to Shen Chen.

This posture was even more vigorous than when praying to the God of Wealth back in the day.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The sound of the slender, petite figure in a blue dress kneeling and kowtowing was audible even over the pouring rain.

Li Du was not a trendously wicked person; because he fell in love with Liu Qingxi, he fought the male lead over a woman.

The result was predictable.

However, he was sowhat fortunate, not dead, assigned to guard the border, returning only once in five years.

When he returned to see the female lead, she was already the mother of two children. He was heartbroken, crying terribly, drowning his sorrows in alcohol every day. Two years later, his family arranged a marriage for him; he lived it without sorrow or joy, without desires, just going through life.

That living beca his whole life.

The author’s extra Chapter wrote about Li Du:

Forced by family rules, he had a son with his legitimate wife, guarded the border for decades, and at the age of knowing better (fifty in ancient terms), he was bedridden, thinking on his deathbed:

To live or to die apart, we’ve made a promise. To hold your hand and grow old together.

If I could hold your hand and grow old together, I would have no regrets in this life, but we ultimately had shallow fate.

Qingxi, if there’s a next life, I will never let go of your hand, wishing you well in this life, until we et again in the next.

Alas, another heart-wrenching character that brings tears to the listeners...

At least she shares the sa fate, a fellow pity, raising her likability, she also wants to bring her good brother along.

She, Ye Zhi, is loyal!

"I believe you, stop kowtowing." An icy hand supported the slightly reddened forehead.

It eased the stinging sensation!

The burdened heart was finally relieved; could she finally avoid dying anymore?

As she stood up, due to insufficient blood supply, her numb feet almost caused her to fall. Shen Chen caught her in ti; after all, he was also a frail person, staggering a bit.
