They were already like water and fire, completely incompatible.
But...
Ah Lian couldn’t help but speak up.
"Marshal!"
Ah Lian spoke, and Dong Huiying looked at Ah Lian with a calm expression.
"You resent the young master, Ah Lian understands!"
"But when the young master had you kidnapped, it was actually because he didn’t know you were the marshal."
"The young master has never given up over the years, always searching for the marshal."
"And that day, if it weren’t for you intentionally provoking him, claiming you were a dead person, and repeatedly angering the young master, he would never have been so harsh on you!"
Dong Huiying: "???"
She was bewildered for a mont.
Then.
"So it’s all my fault."
She scoffed.
"Ah Lian, in matters like this, everyone thinks they are right."
"Xiao Qinghe kidnapped without permission, separating from my family, when the enemy was unclear, he pressured about Dong Baowei’s whereabouts and asked about my relationship with Yun Ge."
"I didn’t know who he was or what his purpose was, how could I have responded?"
"I have people I want to protect too."
"Regardless, the pain of that slap, the injury of a shattered shoulder, I still rember deeply to this day."
She rolled up her sleeves, stepping forward.
"Back then, when the tiger fell into the flatlands, I was always unwilling."
"Even when Zhi Chen fought with you and your master in Nanling, helping regain so losses. But nothing compares to the satisfaction of avenging myself."
"The things you two did, regardless of standpoint or reason, ultimately made sick."
Ah Lian saw her hostility, wanting to intervene but was stopped by Qinghe.
Qinghe walked out from behind Ah Lian, appearing elegant, calm, and composed.
He looked at her face intently.
"I’m here, standing right here."
Dong Huiying’s hand was already raised, but upon hearing this sentence, she hesitated for a mont.
"It was wrong of to hurt you."
Dong Huiying: "???"
How the hell am I supposed to hit now?
Xiao Qinghe, you’re the villain, can’t you show so backbone?
Co on, quarrel with !
If you fight with , even if I kill you, it would be justified and legitimate.
But instead, you’re retreating to advance?
Her mouth twitched fiercely, but the raised hand still ca down.
"Slap!"
Just one slap slightly turned the man’s handso face.
"This is my payback to you."
Blood seeped from the man’s lips, as he nodded gently.
Dong Huiying frowned tightly and struck the man’s shoulder with her palm again.
Just like how the man shattered her shoulder back then, she replied with equivalent force now.
She heard the sound of cracking bones; the man’s body slightly shook, yet he didn’t make a sound, enduring it coolly and elegantly as always.
Dong Huiying suddenly felt it was all aningless.
"Stay away from from now on, or next ti I will kill you!"
She turned around to leave.
However.
"Young master!"
Ah Lian rushed over with an arrow step, supporting Qinghe while looking at Dong Huiying with hatred.
"Marshal!"
Ah Lian was so angry that even her voice was trembling.
"You resent the young master, but has he ever wanted things this way? When the Xiao family was exterminated, where were you, Marshal?"
"You say the young master was maneuvering with no sincerity! But those things, even if the young master didn’t do them, soone had to. He, as the eldest son, the big brother among his siblings, had to bear all this!"
Ah Lian’s eyes were red, and Qinghe frowned.
"Ah Lian, be quiet."
