Ayan is a thorn in Ye Mushen's heart after all.

Ye Mushen didn't want to mention him in front of Ling Shang.

He guessed that Ling Shang must know more about Ayan than he did.

And all the sins he had done in his life were burned into the fate of that poor young man.

Ye Mushen didn't want Ling Shang to treat him like the kind of heinous person he was—even though he was.

"You didn't kill him." Ling Shang lowered his voice, "He just wants to make a settlement." ”

"You don't have to comfort me, I know what I've done." Ye Mu let out a long sigh.

"Hmm." You don't know.

"Well, if you can't come back to life after death, you won't bother the spirits of the dead." Ye Mushen said to Ling Shang, and also said to himself.

He continued the original story -

"As you must know, I was imprisoned when I was eight years old.

At that time, Ayan had just left the princess's mansion.

"I remember, it was before dawn in early spring.

Before dawn, the old man sent three Yulin troops and more than 500 elite soldiers to surround his aunt's mansion.

"My aunt didn't want to suffer the humiliation of the prison, and the white silk was hung up, ready to die.

"But she wanted to explain something to me before she died, and rushed to my house and woke me up......

"And then...... She just hugged me and cried, and didn't say anything.

"Where did I understand at that time...... I just think my aunt is so pitiful......

"I don't know how to comfort myself when I cry like that......

Later, the two generals broke in and took my aunt away.

"When two more major generals were about to take me away, Father-in-law Jian Zhen arrived in a hurry and took me to the palace.

"According to the Master of the Criminal Trial Division, I am also a guilty person, and I can't meet my aunt again......

"But Father-in-law Jian Zhen interceded for me, and I was finally reunited with my aunt in the Imperial Prison.

"The prison there is much higher than the Dali Temple.

"Don't look at the pampered life I was in the princess's mansion when I was a child, and I got used to life there not long after I was in prison.

"Every day I read the books of the sages, and I talked and laughed with the other people in prison; Occasionally, Brother Jing will come to see me.

"Speaking of which, Brother Jing has always been very good to me.

"My favorite villain books were all smuggled to me by him in his arms.

"And the things he can't name, he'll bring them to me whenever he thinks of them.

"He also told me a lot of interesting things out there.

"If it weren't for Brother Jing, I would probably be like the sick guys in prison......

"But you've also seen Brother Jing. He's the best brother in the world.

"Hmm...... Ayan is also very good, but Ayan doesn't treat himself as a human being, unlike Brother Jing.

"Of course, Brother Jing has been the prince since he was a child, and the people in the palace bowed down when they saw him.

"But Brother Jing is never arrogant - for this alone, few people in the world can catch up.

"As for Ayan...... I still don't know how much he suffered before he returned to Luoyang......

"It is understandable that he does not treat himself as a human being, but only as a servant......

"Alas...... Why did I mention him again?

"Haha, look at my mouth, you're always saying things you shouldn't be talking about......

"To get back to the point, Brother Jing can be described as teaching me by word and deed.

"I'm a guilty prince. Although the old man of the emperor arranged for me to be a prison master, the man ...... It's just half a pound and eight taels with Lu Qian.

"Don't look at me as smart as I am - I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I first got out of prison, I would have been deceived into even buying a pot of wine.

"That's right...... ...... out of prison"

Ye Mushen's voice was soaked with sadness, "Ling Shang, if it weren't for Brother Jing, I would have died a long time ago." ”
