Jiang Shuifu regretted a little.
It's not that he regrets that he tricked Lu Yuncheng and the others on the hunting ground, but that he didn't let Jiang Yihe go with him and left him in the capital, but brought Jiang Lanyin, who was always impulsive recently.
Of course, he didn't expect Jiang Yihe to be able to turn the tide on this matter. But in this situation, Jiang Yihe's presence can always calm the hearts of the rest of the Jiang family.
Even if something happens to him, nothing will happen to the Jiang family.
The Jiang family no longer has Jiang Fangfei, and he doesn't know his own life or death. How can he let other descendants of the Jiang family get into trouble again?
Otherwise, what he said to Emperor Ming would have no meaning...
"Master Shangshu, at this time, you still refuse to plead guilty?"
Led by Lu Yuncheng, the crowd who were still watching outside slowly came to stand in front of Jiang Shuifu.
Facing Lu Yuncheng's sharp eyes, Jiang Shuifu lost his previous arrogance and determination this time.
He gritted his teeth and had to lower his head: "I have confessed my crime in front of His Majesty."
Everyone was still shocked when they heard Jiang Shuifu's confession, even though they already knew the truth.
This is the most powerful official in the dynasty and the most trusted by His Majesty. Now he is in jail. How can people not feel sad?
"It's just that one person is responsible for what he does, so please don't implicate the rest of the Jiang family, His Highness Prince Ling."
Jiang Shuifu confessed his crime and resigned, but Lu Yuncheng's pain in his heart would never be cured.
"Master Shangshu is joking. How to convict is naturally the final decision of my father. How can I, the king, have the right to interfere?"
"I only hope that when Lord Shangshu comes to see my eldest brother in the future, he can personally kowtow to him and apologize!"
After saying these words, Lu Yuncheng took a deep look at Jiang Shuifu, and then left without looking back.
Su Qingyu knew that he felt uncomfortable, and she also knew that he might need to be alone.
But just as she was about to turn around and go back, she saw that King An was being supported by his personal bodyguards, as if he would follow her wherever she went.
Su Qingyu had no choice but to glare at him fiercely, and then walked in the direction Lu Yuncheng left.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Jiang Shuifu finally faced reality.
How could he not see the resentment in Jiang Lanyin's eyes? How could he not know that she was ready to kill Su Qingyu?
"Lanyin." Jiang Shuifu's cold voice brought Jiang Lanyin back to his senses.
"Without my grandfather, Shangshu Mansion no longer has its former glory."
"Grandpa..." Jiang Lanyin's eyes were red, and her heart hurt hard as she looked at her grandfather who had taken her with her and taught her since she was a child.
After all, Jiang Shuifu couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to gently pat Jiang Lanyin's shoulder.
"Lanyin, you have to learn to be patient."
"The real winning or losing is not in this moment. Whoever can endure until the end is the real winner."
"There are many people who want to kill her. It is very likely that she will have died by someone else's knife before you take action."
"The highest level of revenge is to fight without bloodshed."
"Master Shangshu, please."
The guards waiting aside had given Jiang Shuifu enough time. Seeing that no one was present, they just wanted to take him down and take care of him.
"grandfather......"
I watched helplessly as my white-haired grandfather was taken away, in a state of utter disarray, without any trace of his former splendor. Jiang Lan's hatred for Su Qingyu was like a tall building rising from the ground, and she couldn't bear it any longer!
She stared at the direction Su Qingyu left and said coldly: "It's right to be patient, but to be patient blindly is the behavior of a coward!"
"Things have progressed to this point, but my plan has not been fully implemented yet!"
"Su Qingyu, you won't be proud for long!"
Cuizhu behind her wanted to offer some words of advice, but when she looked up and saw the uncontrollable hatred in her girl's eyes, she could only lower her eyes and withdraw all her thoughts.
At that time, Su Qingyu had no idea that Jiang Lanyin had transferred all his hatred and unwillingness to her.
She rode behind Lu Yuncheng, and the helplessness and heartache radiating from his body came to her side with the wind and entered the apex of her heart.
Until two quarters of an hour later, the two came to the edge of a cliff one after another.
Su Qingyu flew off the horse and patted the horse's back, but did not go directly to Lu Yuncheng's side.
She just looked at his back from time to time, letting his lonely back merge with the sunset.
Although Su Qingyu cannot empathize with her, she has also experienced her comrades, teachers, and partners dying in front of her for the same beliefs and protection.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuncheng, who had been facing the cliff and looking into the distance, finally turned around and looked at the woman who had been silently accompanying him.
Along the way, thanks to her companionship, he was able to grit his teeth and get to where he is today.
Now, he finally avenged his eldest brother and sought justice for the soldiers who died in vain, but he was not happy at all.
There are many culprits, but now he can only do this for the sake of the overall situation.
He felt guilty.
Even if revenge is taken, those who left will never come back again.
His heart ached.
Su Qingyu faced the light and smiled sweetly at him.
She clearly didn't say anything, but she always had the magic power to rekindle his hope.
Lu Yuncheng walked towards her step by step, his throat moving up and down in her eyes as clear as water.
"Qingyu, can I give you a hug?"
Su Qingyu's eyebrows were curved and she opened her arms obediently.
Then, she was held in his arms with great care.
The strength was full of sustenance and deep love, but it gave her the freedom to break free at any time.
Su Qingyu looked at the sunset, her curled eyelashes trembling slightly in the warm yellow light.
She raised her hands and slowly hugged the man's waist, her eyes full of heartache.
"Don't be sad, you still have us!"
"You have done your best to get to this point."
"King Yan and the soldiers are in heaven, and they will definitely be pleased with what you have done today."
"What's more, this is not the forever ending."
"He still has a chance, and so do we."
In just a few words, all the pain in Lu Yuncheng's heart at this moment was gone.
He closed his eyes to hide the soreness in his eyes.
This girl always knows what he needs, and always knows how to light the light and drive away the darkness in his heart.
How could he not love her to the core?
"Qingyu..."
Lu Yuncheng sniffed, his hoarse voice filled with grievances, which made Su Qingyu feel distressed.
The spring evening breeze blew slowly, and Su Qingyu clearly heard him saying in her ear:
"From now on, I have nothing to fear."
"All I have to do for the rest of my life is protect you."
Su Qingyu only heard her heartbeat seem to skip a beat, and then saw with her own eyes the setting sun setting over the mountains.
The originally dim moon suddenly became the brightest presence in the blue sky.
Just like Lu Yuncheng's eyes at this moment.
It became the only existence in her eyes.
Su Qingyu's mind went blank, and she didn't even know what she wanted to do. She just supported Lu Yuncheng's lean waist and raised her toes.
Seeing those plump red lips getting closer and closer, Lu Yuncheng's breathing suddenly became erratic.
