Chapter 598
After bidding farewell to Zhao Shun, Shen Qinglan took the carriage and set foot on the way back home.

Not long after the carriage drove, Tao Guan'er, who was driving the carriage, suddenly said, "Young Master... Sister Shen, it's Young Master!"

Shen Qinglan opened the curtain of the car, looked at the person sitting on horseback in front, then lowered the curtain and said, "Stop."

"Call..."

Seeing the carriage stopped, Mu Xingze got off the horse immediately.

"Miss, be careful."

Fu'er helped Shen Qinglan get out of the car, and then bowed briefly to Mu Xingze.

"What a coincidence, where is the young master going?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"I'm not going anywhere. I came here specially to wait for you. I know that you will come and see off my uncle when he goes to the battlefield today." Mu Xingze said.

Shen Qinglan raised the corners of his mouth, showed a polite smile, and asked, "Does the young master have something to say to me?"

"I……"

Mu Xingze was at a loss for words for a moment, and sighed, "Sister Sisi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Shen Qinglan replied.

"But... But I'm always worried that you're not doing well. Ever since I heard that something happened in the Prince Regent's Mansion, Mr. Shen was dismissed and ordered to stay at home to wait for the review. There is not a single day that I miss you." Mu Xingze said.

"Young Master, I..."

Before Shen Qinglan finished speaking, Mu Xingze stopped her and said, "Sister Sisi, do you have to call me Young Master? Even if we can't be husband and wife, we still have the friendship we have been together since childhood."

"Brother Xingze, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." Shen Qinglan said.

Mu Xingze shook his head, "Although your appearance has not changed, you are much thinner than before."

Shen Qinglan looked up at him and said, "Brother Xingze, the past is over. In Sisi's heart, I have always regarded you as my elder brother. I also hope that you can live well and don't worry about my affairs. "

"Sister Sisi, I have no way not to worry about you. I hate myself. I hate myself for not being able to persist. If I could have fought harder, maybe our ending would not be like this! I will definitely protect you and prevent you from being hurt." Wronged, don't let you be frightened, and you can't sleep at night."

Mu Xingze was a little agitated, and Shen Qinglan subconsciously took half a step back.

"Ever since Mrs. Nanyang Hou said that, I never thought about marrying you. Maybe, if I really married you back then, I wouldn't be like today, falling from the clouds into the mud and messing with everyone in the sky." I'm unhappy, my life is in danger, let those enemies laugh at me. But if I really marry you, I won't be happy." Shen Qinglan said.

Mu Xingze looked at her in disbelief, and asked, "Sister, you...have you never liked me? Are all the things you said before false?"

"Just think that I was lying to you in the past." Shen Qinglan said.

"No, sister Sisi, I don't believe... you, why on earth are you saying such things?" Mu Xingze asked.

"Although I am in a very dangerous situation now, my husband has always trusted me unreservedly and loved me. Except for Zhao Yi, no one in my husband's family will make things difficult. If I marry you, I may spend all day You have to live in aggrieved. Mrs. Nanyang Hou always looked down on me. I don't want to be a little fugitive and give up my dignity to please her. So, brother Xingze, don't think about the past. Everything in the past is between you and me. The common choice between the two is not just because of you alone." Shen Qinglan said.

"Weighing the pros and cons... I didn't expect that sister Sisi would use such an excuse to prevaricate me." Mu Xingze said.

"No, there is another more important reason, that is, after you left Luoping City, Zhao Shun appeared in my life, and I fell in love with him, unforgettable." Shen Qinglan said.

Mu Xingze was silent for a while, then smiled wryly, and asked, "So, sister Sisi doesn't regret her original choice, does she?"

"I love Zhao Shun, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, I am willing to go down with him." Shen Qinglan said.

"Okay, I understand." Mu Xingze turned his head, quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and said with a smile: "Sister Sisi, I still say the same thing, we still have the friendship we have been with since we were young. If there is anything I can do to help, just send someone to tell me. There has always been a close friend of mine at the side door near Yaoying Pavilion. He will help me keep an eye on your news, and my parents will not find out."

"No need." Shen Qinglan calmed down, looked at him and said, "Mu Xingze, there is a break between you and me. I don't want to see you again, and you don't want to appear in front of me again. We will return to each other on the way." Returning, there will be no more entanglements in the future, each will be at peace."

"Sister Sisi..."

Mu Xingze looked dazed, as if he never knew the person in front of him.

The face that made him think about it day and night, every night, was full of indifference and determination.

His breathing became more and more rapid, he subconsciously covered his chest, and asked, "Why?"

"Why? Don't forget, because of your stupidity, I almost fell into Jiang Shuyao's trap! And my family, Fu'er, was seriously injured because of this incident!" Shen Qinglan said, turning to look at Fu Son.

Fu'er was slightly stunned, and said: "Exactly! Young Master, it's all your fault, and I almost lost my life! My county magistrate also almost lost his reputation because of you! Last time it was Jiang Shuyao, and next time it will be your fault." I don't know who it is, you should stay away from my lady! With you around, it will only be a drag on my lady!"

Mu Xingze nodded, tears welled up in his eyes, and said softly, "Master, I'm sorry..."

Shen Qinglan put on a look of disgust, raised her voice and said: "You better manage yourself! Stay away from me in the future! I don't want to be dragged down by you anymore."

"Okay, okay...I see. County lord, I will take my leave."

Mu Xingze turned around and led the horse towards the direction of the city. He didn't go far, then suddenly bent down while clutching his chest, and stopped in the middle of the road.

Shen Qinglan frowned, tears fell from her eyes.

"Miss..." Fu'er took her hand and said, "This servant knows that you are doing this for the sake of the young master. If he gets involved in these matters in our house, he will definitely be implicated."

Shen Qinglan looked at Mu Xingze's back and whispered, "Brother Xingze, I'm the one who's sorry for you."

"Sister Shen, let's go, or we will be discovered later." Tao Guan'er said.

"Well, let's go."

Shen Qinglan got into the carriage and leaned on Fu'er's shoulder.

Fu'er looked down at her and started crying too.

"Miss, don't be sad..." Fu'er said.

"Too many things really happened this year. Fu'er, I'm a little tired..." Shen Qinglan said.

"The servant understands, Miss is suffering."

After Fu'er finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her tears.

"I want Yan'er and Ji Fan to be fine, I want Yi Feng to be fine too, I want Brother Dashan to come back to life, I want my family to be safe, no one gets hurt, no one gets poisoned, no one gets hurt Injury. Thinking of my father standing in the cold wind, pleading for me and Zhao Shun, my heart feels like a needle prick. I think... I want Zhao Shun to be well, Qian Lingshuang to be treated kindly, I want Mu Xingze lives a good life and forgets about me. But the more I think about it, the more powerless I become, and in the end I can't grasp anything, I am so useless..." Shen Qinglan said.

After hearing his words, Tao Guan'er had already burst into tears, wishing to share her worries.

Fu'er wiped her tears over and over again, crying and said: "Miss, everything will get better in the future, it will definitely get better, these things can pass."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Yes, yes... I will never be merciful to those who want to harm me."
