Su Ruan looked at him quietly: "So you killed them." ”

"Yes, I killed them."

Xie Yuan had a heavy look in his eyes: "It was I who ordered to kill all the sources of the epidemic, and it was also me who personally carried the knife and sent them to death." ”

"On that day in Jingnan City, I killed a total of 476 people, 53 people, 422 soldiers, as well as your father, Jingnan Zhizhou, Su Xuanmin."

"But my father was captured by the Southern Wei Dynasty at that time, if he was really infected with the plague, wouldn't it be a good thing for you to keep him in the Southern Wei army......

"Su Ruan!"

Xie Yuan interrupted sharply: "The plague thing, how can it be child's play?!" ”

"Do you know how many people will die if the plague spreads?"

"Do you know how many innocent people will die if a plague breaks out above the Jingnan realm and spreads the epidemic?"

"I, Xie Yuan, are at war with the Southern Wei Dynasty, I can fight with them on the battlefield, I can besiege them with a strategy, even if I kill all the Southern Wei people on the battlefield, I will not be soft, but I will never use such despicable means to make fun of the tens of thousands of people in Jingnan."

"I'm not going to do that, and you can't do it, hear me clearly!"

Su Ruan listened to Xie Yuan's extremely tough words, and looked at his expression that suddenly became stern, and suddenly his eyes were warm.

This is Xie Yuan, proud and full of hills and valleys in his heart.

I'd rather die standing than use ghost domain methods to play games with people.

But in the end, he died at her hands.

At the beginning, he obviously had a chance to survive, and he obviously had a chance to protect the Xie family, but he was completely defenseless against her, believed in her softness, and believed in everything she did in the mansion after being used by others.

Let her ruin him and the Xie family alive.

Xie Yuan looked at Su Ruan's red eyes, clenched his fists and said hoarsely: "Su Ruan, I did kill your father, and even killed those who should be heroes, but even if I am given another chance, I will still do it." ”

"Whether you understand it or not, I just want you to know that the situation at that time was intolerable."

"The war is burning the plains, the Southern Wei Dynasty is eyeing the tiger, Jingnan is like a difficult place, overturned at every turn, when I led the troops to go, the Southern Wei Dynasty has almost seized most of Jingnan, I want to save not only your father, but also hundreds of people in Jingnan, I can't take those people to risk."

"I know you may not believe it, but I tell you, if the person who was infected at that time was myself, or my relatives and children, I would not have spared it."

People have choices, and Xie Yuan's choice is like this.

Some people may say that he is vicious, some people may say that he is ruthless, but even if he does it again, he will still make the same choice.

Su Ruan bit her lip tightly, wrapped her hands around her knees, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan's throat was astringent.

He wanted to comfort her, wanted to pat Su Ruan's back and make her cry, but the outstretched hand froze in the air for a long time, and it didn't fall in the end.

Xie Yuan shook his palm, then reached out and tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and then brushed the long messy hair that fell on her face behind her ears, and said in a low voice:

"Stop being angry with your mother, and stop messing around."

"I will find out the matter of your father's tablet for you, if it is really Qingyang who asked him to do it, I will hand him over to you, and it is up to you to beat or punish him."

"The wound on your hand is very deep, you must be good at living, otherwise it will become inflexible in the future, as for the scars on it, but there are many holy hands in the world, I will find a few more for you, and I will definitely let you recover as before."

Su Ruan didn't react at all to his overtures.

Xie Yuan's hands stiffened, and he said in a low voice: "It's been a whole day, you're tired, you have a good rest, I'll go first." ”

Xie Yuan glanced at Su Ruan, who was holding his knees and weeping, and turned around and walked towards the door.

When he arrived at the door, Su Ruan's somewhat hoarse and nasal voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Then why did my father and those Jingnan soldiers become criminals?"

Xie Yuan paused at his feet and did not look back.

Su Ruan said loudly: "Why is it that Dayan has been in good weather for many years, and the household department has no money to provide disaster relief, so many people in Jingnan starve to death?" Why did people come to hunt me and my mother after my father died, and why did those people say, "What did my father take?" ”

"Is my father's death really just because of the epidemic?"

Xie Yuan looked back at Su Ruan, his expression changing.

Su Ruan said with red eyes: "My father was originally a Hubu Langzhong, before he was transferred to Jingnan, he also served in Jingzhong, and he knew too many things in the Hubu, when Jingnan was in turmoil, he led people to guard the city gate, and everyone in the city was fine, why was he the only one who was captured?" ”

"Master Xie, did my father really die of the epidemic, or did someone not see him alive?"

"It's because they don't want him to live, they don't want him to talk too much, they don't want him to say things that shouldn't be said, so they use the war and the plague to force him to die......"

"Su Ruan!!"

Xie Yuan saw that Su Ruan was talking deeper and deeper, and immediately shouted.

After he interrupted Su Ruan's words, his eyes overflowed with dark clouds.

"Su Xuanmin died because of the epidemic, this is a fact that no one can change, I asked for their lives, and I didn't protect the glory they should have after death."

"Some things are in the bottom line, they will only cause trouble to yourself, whether it is for your mother or for yourself, you are not allowed to ask about this matter again, and you are not allowed to mention what you said just now to anyone, did you hear clearly?"

The previous tenderness on Xie Yuan's body was all gone.

"In the past, no matter how foolish you were, I could let you go, but not this time."

"If you continue to make trouble, I will trap you in the Hou Mansion, and never think of taking half a step out again!"

Su Ruan looked at Xie Yuan in a daze, his eyes were red, and he buried his head in his knees without saying a word after a while.

Xie Yuan's forehead was bruised, and he strode out directly, waving his hand and calling Yahuan Cai Qian not far away: "Guard Miss well, change her dressing on time, and don't allow anyone to disturb her, do you hear?" ”

Cai Qian nodded hurriedly: "The slave knows." ”

Xie Yuan walked outside, and his ears seemed to be able to hear Su Ruan's questioning voice just now.

He thought of the Jingnan soldiers who died in his hands, the Su Xuanmin who was killed by him with an arrow, and Su Ruan just now crying and asking him loudly, Su Xuanmin really died in the plague or was he harmed by people, his face was not warm at all, and his whole body was full of anger.

The people around were all trembling, and when they saw Xie Yuan coming, they hurriedly avoided it.

In Bihe Garden, Cai Qian entered with hot water, wanting to clean up the embarrassment on Su Ruan's body, but as soon as he got closer, he heard Su Ruan's cold and terrifying voice.

"Get out!"
