The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 598 Husband, this is a bit unfair

Jiang Suining stood outside Queen Shi's palace, looking at the sunlight that was once again covered by clouds in the sky, with a heavy heart.

She did not agree with Queen Shi's statement that anything could be sacrificed to achieve the goal, but she also understood that this matter could only end here.

She was not sure she could keep Xiaojin in the harem dominated by Empress Shi. He Qingrui was already dead. If she sacrificed two more lives in order to uncover the truth, it would be a loss even if the truth was revealed.

What's more, everyone is calculating and expecting from their own perspective, and as for what the truth is, I'm afraid few people care.

It’s just that... the truth is the truth. Even if no one cares, the truth itself has meaning.

Exhaling slowly, the white mist spreading before my eyes announced the arrival of winter, as well as the coming New Year's Eve and New Year.

But Jiang Suining knew in his heart that few people would be able to live a peaceful New Year this year.

Emperor Xiao's decree had already been issued, and the young eunuch was identified as the culprit. Everyone could see that the case was hastily closed, but facing the imperial power and the imperial decree, no one dared to question it.

And Wei Yao was finally released.

At the gate of the palace, Jiang Mushi, who had been waiting long ago after receiving the news, hurried forward when he saw Wei Yao and Jiang Suining walking out together.

He looked Wei Yao up and down carefully, and when he saw the wound on her neck, his pupils suddenly shrank and his feet froze in place.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Wei Yao smiled reassuringly at Jiang Mushi.

But Jiang Mushi stared at the scar and still felt like something was stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out. In the end, he could only utter one sentence.

"sorry."

Almost at the same time, Wei Yao also spoke.

"Thank you."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and each of them was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi looked at them without saying much, but left first, leaving the space to Jiang Mushi and Wei Yao.

"I'm sorry, I'm just too useless and there's nothing I can do." Jiang Mushi lowered his head and for the first time began to regret whether he should have chosen to enter the officialdom.

"No, if you hadn't asked the imperial guards to take care of me, I would probably be dead now. You saved my life. No, it should be you and Sui Ning. I am sorry for you."

Wei Yao took a deep breath and shook her head at Jiang Mushi who was about to speak, interrupting him.

"Just listen to me first and don't interrupt me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have the courage to continue."

Jiang Mushi remained silent and just stared at Wei Yao, waiting for her next words.

Wei Yao gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to continue speaking: "This time, it's all my own fault. The Fifth Princess promised me many benefits and asked me to frame Sui Ning. I must admit that I was a little tempted at the time, so I didn't reject her immediately, but took the medicine she gave me. It was also because of that bottle of medicine that I was suspected of being the murderer. In the end, it was all my own fault. It's you who got involved, worrying about me and running around for me."

Wei Yao looked away in shame, not daring to look at Jiang Mushi again.

"You said I was very good before, and I was really touched, but you don't know me well enough. I am a selfish person. For my own goals, I can endure hardships and endure. I even almost tried to harm Sui Ning. You are the best people to me since I entered the Imperial City, but I still wanted to agree to the Fifth Princess. I am a very selfish person."

"But you didn't choose to do that in the end." Jiang Mushi looked at Wei Yao seriously, "It's not wrong to have such thoughts. People are selfish by nature and will always have all kinds of thoughts. But as long as you don't do that, you are not wrong."

Wei Yao's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but look at Jiang Mushi again, "But, I didn't refuse on the spot, and I was indeed moved. Don't you really blame me?"

It was not easy for her to come to the Imperial City, so she wanted to seize every opportunity to stand higher.

When she took the bottle of medicine from the fifth princess, she heard a voice in her heart constantly telling her that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. It told her that she had no one to rely on and could only plan for herself. In the process, even if she made some mistakes, it would not be a big deal.

Although she didn't do it in the end, the thoughts that popped up in her mind still made her feel ashamed. She was such a despicable person.

Jiang Mushi's gaze once again rested on Wei Yao's neck. Looking at the scar, he shook his head seriously.

"I don't blame you, because you didn't do anything to hurt my sister in the end. Ayao, my sister once told me that no one is perfect, so don't use the standards of a saint to demand others, and don't use the standards of a saint to demand yourself. You finally gave up on drugging me, and you did nothing wrong. Of course, I won't blame you."

Jiang Mushi's words were like a ray of light, shining on Wei Yao's uneasy heart.

Her heart ached, her eyes turned red, and tears began to fall.

Jiang Mushi quickly reached out his hand to wipe away Wei Yao's tears, but when he was about to touch her cheek, he suddenly felt something was wrong and froze there.

Wei Yao looked at the hand in front of her, and the next moment she reached out and held Jiang Mushi's hand.

"Jiang Mushi, thank you for not blaming me. I can also promise you that no matter what happens in the future, I will never hurt you and Sui Ning, or hurt the people you care about."

The soft touch from his palm made Jiang Mushi tremble all over. He stared at Wei Yao in a daze, until the latter felt embarrassed and wanted to withdraw her hand, he came to his senses and held on to her.

Holding back the excitement and joy in his heart, Jiang Mushi said firmly: "I also promise you that I will make myself better and stronger in the future, protect my parents, protect my elder sister, and protect you even more."

When their eyes met, joy and love spread between them, and it seemed that even the cold wind around them had become gentler.

In the distance, in the carriage, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi looked at this scene through the window.

Jiang Suining lowered the curtain and said with a smile: "Let's go."

Shen Yanxi told Yuan Liang to drive away. After the carriage left, Shen Yanxi asked, "Do you really think Wei Yao and Mu Shi are suitable?"

Hearing the hesitation in Shen Yanxi's tone, Jiang Suining said, "Are you bothered by the fact that A Yao was almost used by the Fifth Princess to plot against me?"

"Yes." Shen Yanxi nodded. "I can see clearly how you and Mu Shi treat Wei Yao. In contrast, her hesitation and wavering are really unpleasant."

Jiang Suining smiled and raised her eyebrows to look at Shen Yanxi, "Husband, this is a bit unfair."

Shen Yanxi also raised his eyebrows and put his arm around his wife, "Ningning, tell me why I am unfair."
