Ning Yan saw this, stroked An Xin's face with his hand, and said: "Are there any witnesses? Do you have any written evidence?"
Faced with Ning Yan's continuous questioning, An Xin was speechless. She didn't know that Ning Yan was so shameless and untrustworthy!
"You!" An Xin was a little exasperated.
Seeing this, Ning Yan suppressed his smile and continued, "No! That doesn't count." Then Ning Yan pressed close to An Xin and continued, "The marriage between you and me was granted by our father! We exchanged jade discs, and I married you from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion in a sedan chair carried by eight people, with three matchmakers and six betrothals!"
An Xin was powerless to refute. She couldn't deny this fact, but did they really have an agreement? Otherwise, how could she agree to marry Ning Yan!
After An Xin treated Ning Yan's wound, she put down the gauze, glared at Ning Yan, and turned away.
Ning Yan then realized that what he said was a bit too much and seemed to have hit the young lady...
As he spoke, Ning Yan pulled An Xin over, made her look him in the eye, and said seriously: "The agreement is true. But now I have changed my mind. I, Ning Yan, really like you. Xin'er, can you give me a chance?"
An Xin looked at Ning Yan with sincerity on her face. There seemed to be thousands of stars in her eyes. For a moment, she was lost in them. But she shook her head again and regained her senses immediately.
If you can't give someone a future, then it's better not to start some things. If you leave it alone, it will only hurt others and yourself in the end.
An Xin knew that she did not belong to this world and she was destined to leave. So, when faced with Ning Yan's question, An Xin suppressed the unusual emotions in her heart and said coldly: "I don't want to. Since the prince has acknowledged the agreement between you and me, then I will abide by it seriously!"
Hearing this, Ning Yan looked at An Xin in disbelief and said, "Xin'er, why are you so cruel? Is it because I said I wanted to kill someone to silence them, or a concubine in my house?"
An Xin's mouth twitched slightly after hearing Ning Yan's words. It had to be said that the two things Ning Yan said were also the reasons why she disliked Ning Yan. However, Ning Yan probably couldn't guess the most fundamental reason.
Seeing An Xin was silent, Ning Yan continued to explain anxiously: "It was indeed my fault to kill someone to silence them, but I could do nothing about it at that time..." Ning Yan felt guilty, and then he continued to explain the second thing: "As for the concubines in the mansion, I have never touched them! I only had sex with you once..."
"No wonder we feel so unfamiliar..." An Xin didn't know what she was thinking, and blurted out these words.
After saying that, An Xin felt a little regretful and annoyed. When she looked up at Ning Yan, Ning Yan looked at An Xin with a dangerous expression.
An Xin swallowed and retreated a little unnoticeably.
Ning Yan's peach blossom eyes were half-smiling, but with a hint of danger in them. Ning Yan said meaningfully, "Madam, do you think my skills are not good enough? Why don't you let me feel it tonight..."
Hearing Ning Yan's somewhat explicit words, An Xin's face turned red, and she stammered: "No... no need."
Seeing Ning Yan pressing on step by step, An Xin thought of a clever idea and said: "I am in confinement..."
Ning Yan was quite helpless when he heard this. He hugged An Xin and said, "I know, I just wanted to scare you..."
An Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she was still in confinement after giving birth.
It is very troublesome for this woman to have confinement after childbirth, and she cannot have sex during this period.
An Xin didn't dare to move, and was hugged by Ning Yan obediently. At this time, An Xin asked: "You said you have touched other women before me, so how is your reputation outside?"
Ning Yan's eyes flashed with a dark color, and then he explained: "Sometimes, people have to hide and disguise for some things."
"So, for all these years, you have been keeping a low profile in order to avoid the spotlight and have a chance of survival?" An Xin guessed some of it, but she still wanted to ask Ning Yan.
"Hmm..." Ning Yan replied.
But An Xin always felt that his answer was somewhat ambiguous.
"But it shouldn't be like this. Your father loves you from the bottom of his heart. If you had his support, why would you be like this?" An Xin was still a little confused. She always felt that there was something wrong with Ning Yan's answer.
After hearing An Xin's words, Ning Yan's face darkened, and he said with some sarcasm: "He is my father, and at the same time, he is also an emperor, an emperor who can't even protect his beloved woman!"
After listening to Ning Yan's explanation, An Xin's heart skipped a beat. She seemed to have grasped a corner of the truth of that year.
Ning Yan seemed to have opened up a conversation box, and said: "When I was five years old, my father believed the Liang family's slander, saying that my mother was having an affair and betrayed the information of Ningguo in order to help Emperor Xiao Nian. Later, they found a bunch of nonsense evidence and forced my mother to death, and executed my mother's family, the Chen family!"
An Xin saw that Ning Yan clenched his fists tightly and his slender fingers turned a little white.
An Xin held Ning Yan's hand and asked, "Didn't Father find any clues?"
Ning Yan took a deep breath, recovered a little, and continued: "Of course I found something unusual, but it was too late to save the situation!"
"My father is such a sharp and intelligent person, how could he fall into the trap?" An Xin was puzzled. She had met Emperor Ning Cheng and knew some of his reasons.
Ning Yan sneered and said: "No matter how smart a man is, once he is involved in love, he will become unreasonable..."
Then, Ning Yan told An Xin a story about the past of Emperor Ning Cheng and Emperor Xiao Nian.
At that time, Emperor Xiao Nian was not called Emperor Xiao Nian, but Xiao Yao. When he was young, he was a hostage and was trapped in Ningguo and the imperial palace, suffering humiliation. Fortunately, he was rescued by Chen Niannian and Emperor Ning Cheng. During this period, Emperor Xiao Nian also knew that Chen Niannian and Emperor Ning Cheng were childhood sweethearts and loved each other, so he just waited silently by the side.
Until he returned to Lan Cang to compete for the throne, and finally won the victory and became the emperor of Lan Cang. After that, he often wrote letters to greet his predecessors. Although the relationship between the two has always been very good, it was based on emotion and stopped at etiquette, and he never crossed the line.
However, this was taken advantage of by the Liang family, and the three people who had always had a good relationship became resentful of each other and fell apart!
An Xin also knew the result. The Chen family was exterminated, and Ningguo and Lancang fought a war that lasted for ten years...
Knowing this past event, everything made sense. No wonder Emperor Xiao Nian paid special attention to her when she was in Lan Cang.
In the eyes of Emperor Xiao Nian, the wife of this beloved woman and the child she gave birth to is just like his own daughter-in-law. How can he not care about her and take care of her
However, Emperor Xiao Nian was indeed deeply in love. Not only did he change the original Emperor Xiao Yao to Emperor Xiao Nian, he also launched a war at all costs in order to seek justice for the successor.
