Xiao Chengyi listened to Mu Yun'an talk about that past, as if he was telling someone else's story. How much suffering had she endured in those past events that he didn't remember?
And how does she feel about facing those people who have hurt her?
Xiao Chengyi closed his eyes, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart. He hugged Mu Yun'an tightly in his arms and asked, "Why should you forgive her?"
Mu Yunan raised his head and looked at him and said, "Because of you."
Xiao Chengyi lowered his head and looked into her eyes, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Because of me?"
Mu Yun'an nodded: "It was you who taught me the principles of life and taught me good and evil, and it was you who pulled me out of hell and washed away all my sins.
Just like you said, the things of the past life are in the past, and those who are alive are not the people of the past.
As long as people don't offend me, why should I cling to the past and care about others?"
Xiao Chengyi felt a little relieved after hearing what she said. He touched Mu Yunan's head and said, "It's good that you think so, but if some people don't change their ways, you don't have to be merciful."
"Um."
Mu Yun'an responded, then leaned on his arm and asked, "You will be able to try it in a few days. You will have to stay in there for many days before you can come out. What will happen to your injury?"
The injury on Xiao Chengyi's back will not heal within a month and a half, but in a few days there will be the Spring Welfare Examination, and candidates are required to stay there for seven days.
She was very worried about Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Chengyi did not answer her words, but asked: "You said in the previous life, I did not participate in the examination because of illness, so who is the new champion?"
Mu Yun'an replied: "It's Mu Xingze, and because of this, the second wife jumped over the dragon's gate and became a close minister of the emperor."
Xiao Chengyi frowned: "Mu Xingze, what about Wang Zefang?"
Mu Yun'an sighed and said in a regretful tone: "Cousin Zefang lost the election. From then on, he became depressed and drank to drown his sorrows. In the end, he drowned after drinking for some reason.
And I remember you told me that cousin Ze Fang’s death was related to the prince, but I don’t know the specific relationship!”
Xiao Chengyi pondered for a while and said in a faint voice: "Based on what I know about Wang Zefang, his talent is far above that of Mu Xingze. There is no reason why he would lose the election, and Mu Xingze becomes the top pick, unless...
"
Mu Yun'an didn't know what she thought of. She grabbed Xiao Chengyi's arm and said in surprise: "Unless someone has tampered with him? It's the prince. Could he..."
Her eyes widened, startled by her own thoughts.
Xiao Chengyi was particularly calm. He sneered: "If this is true, it would be a good time to get rid of him. Let's wait and see!"
...
The second room of the Mu family.
Mu Yunhuan brought ginseng soup to Mu Xingze's study. She came to deliver midnight snacks to her brother on behalf of her mother.
But when the door was opened, Mu Xingze was not in the room.
Mu Yunhuan found it strange that the lights in the study were still on but no one was there.
Because the exam is approaching, Mu Xingze often reads late in the study room recently.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for her son, but Mu Zongping told her not to disturb him, so she made ginseng soup and asked Mu Yunhuan to deliver it.
Mu Yunhuan put the ginseng soup on the table. She looked around and saw that Mu Xingze's desk was a little messy, so she walked over to tidy it up for him.
