"I know you will think I'm a coward for doing this, but I can't help it."
Ning Cheng stared at He Ruojin from afar and asked, "Is it because of your wife's matter?"
He Ruochen lowered his eyes, neither admitting nor denying. He was just really helpless. He smiled and said hoarsely: "General Han captured her as a hostage. I understand General Han's purpose, but I respectfully Remember that I am the general of the Northern Kingdom, and I cannot ignore the trust of the entire Northern Kingdom, so I encircled and suppressed the Donglin army with great righteousness. However, my wife... almost died because of me. She is not yet young, and she has a long future ahead of her. There is a way to go, but because of me, I... destroyed her."
When Ning Chengyuan heard this, he frowned tightly and said, "This is not your fault, and I can't blame you alone."
"Yes, it's not entirely my fault, and she doesn't blame me. But Ning Shuai, I'd rather she blame me. I'd rather she be angry with me and complain about me. Then I still have a chance to make amends, but she won't give it to me. Here's a chance..." He Ruojin spoke for a while, feeling his heart cramping again. He had to sit back in his seat, breathing slowly, and then said, "Ning Shuai may think that because of this incident , I gave up, it would be too childish. But, Ning Shuai, I never owe anyone in my life, only my wife. I just want to be an ordinary person now, and in the future, Make it up to her."
If He Ruojin left Shengjun because of other difficulties, Ning Chengyuan would definitely not agree to it, and would even have to drag him back.
But He Ruojin confessed and told him that it was because of Lin Banxia.
It's because he doesn't want to hurt Lin Banxia anymore, he wants to make up for Lin Banxia...
This was something Ning Chengyuan could not refuse. After all, if the roles were reversed and Xuan Jiu was taken as a hostage, according to his ardent love for Xuan Jiu, he would not be able to do better than He Ruojin.
But there is no good choice in this matter, because no matter how you choose, there is no absolute right or wrong.
Anyone can say that He Ruojin was not wrong, but what did Lin Banxia do wrong? Why was Lin Banxia abandoned by her husband...
Ning Chengyuan sat on the seat without saying a word, finished the cup of tea in a muffled voice, stood up and said coldly: "It's up to you, I'll treat it as a vacation for you. When did you think about it and come back?" , come to me!”
After Ning Chengyuan finished speaking, he walked past He Ruoxin.
And He Ruojin didn't refute anymore, lowered his head and said goodbye to Ning Chengyuan. He did not go out to see Ning Chengyuan off. After Ning Chengyuan left, He Ruojin slowly sat back on the seat, coughing and trembling fingers. Then he opened the piece of paper Jing Ling wrote to him.
He read it over and over again, very seriously, as if he wanted to memorize every word on the paper.
The next day, he went to the Ministry of Finance alone and signed his name on the letter of reconciliation, but he did not take away the letter of reconciliation. He told the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance that if Lin Banxia came here in the future, After taking the Heli Shu, give the Heli Shu to her.
He Ruojin always thought that he would be the one who was least willing to sign the divorce letter, but in fact, he signed it first.
He knew very well that once he actually signed his name, it would mean that he and Lin Banxia were truly reconciled, and he would never be able to call her his wife in front of outsiders in the future.
