What Mu Yun'an fears most is that Xiao Chengyi will blame himself and feel guilty when he thinks about what happened in his past life, especially the arrow that killed her.
She just remembered that regretful past. She didn't want Xiao Chengyi to bear it too, but he happened to remember it.
Mu Yun'an hooked Xiao Chengyi's neck, kissed the corners of his lips and said, "Brother Yi, what did you like about me in your previous life?"
She was obviously so bad to him in her previous life, why would he still like her?
Xiao Chengyi touched her face and said: "I don't know either, I always thought that I tolerated you everywhere because of your kindness to me when I was a child.
I didn't know it was true until I lost you. Maybe it was because of kindness at first, but slowly you became my habit.
I don’t know how you got into my heart, anyway, by the time I found out, it was already too late.”
In his previous life, he had always thought that he was just kind to Yan Yan, but in fact, his feelings had already changed unconsciously, and he was just deceiving himself.
Mu Yun'an sniffed and said: "When Shen Wanyue told me that you liked me in your previous life, I thought she must have made a mistake. Our relationship is so bad and I have done so many wrong things to you. How could you Maybe you like me?
But I didn’t expect that it was all true. I was so obsessed with ghosts in my previous life that I didn’t realize how good you were.”
Xiao Chengyi sighed: "I was also wrong. I didn't teach you well and didn't protect you well. Yan Yan, in fact, your character must not be bad. You are just too simple, no one taught you, and you were deceived.
Unlike Shen Wanyue, she is not a kind person by nature, what you see is just her pretending."
Mu Yun'an looked a little confused. She took Xiao Chengyi's hand and said, "You have such a big opinion against her. What did she do in her previous life to make you so disgusted?"
Although Xiao Chengyi also hated Shen Wanyue before, it is obvious that after Xiao Chengyi recovered the memory of his previous life, his dislike for her only increased.
What happened to them during the years when Xiao Chengyi left Beijing? What did they experience? Why did Xiao Chengyi fake his death to deceive her?
She wanted to figure this out.
Xiao Chengyi narrowed his eyes and looked a little gloomy: "I was suppressed by you in the General's Mansion and had a difficult life, but in fact it was all of my own free will.
In order to hide my identity, I can only pretend to be bullied by you, so as not to be suspected by others.
Shen Wanyue's kindness to me is not out of sympathy at all? It's just that she accidentally knew my life experience and heard the conversation between me and my mother."
That was when he was framed by Yan Yan and had his legs disabled and was recovering in bed. His mother felt sorry for him and wanted to take him away from the general's mansion.
Not long after Shen Wanyue entered the palace, she knew that his mother was going to marry General Mu, so she came to visit with Tongzhou's specialties, and happened to overhear the conversation between their mother and son.
Mu Yun'an looked a little surprised: "So that's what happened. I thought she pitied you."
Xiao Chengyi sneered: "A woman like her is trying so hard to get ahead, and he was just kind to me because he wanted to take a gamble that I would succeed in rebelling in the end.
But she is also a smart person, and she wants to repay the favor and make me feel grateful to her. This is how the so-called life-saving grace comes about."
Mu Yunan: "..."
She looked at Xiao Chengyi and said: "So the life-saving grace was also her plan? Then you..."
Mu Yun'an pursed her lips and said, "Then you also applied koudan on her and took care of her in every possible way."
Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly, sniffed her body deliberately and said: "Ah, I smell a strong sour smell, is Madam jealous?"
Mu Yunan snorted and pretended to be angry: "You must explain it to me clearly."
