[Ancient Proverbs + Revenge + Chasing Wife at the Crematorium + Double Cleansing]
"Alian is just a lifesaver. I'm grateful to her, that's all."
Tan Xiaosi stood outside the study and listened to the people inside say these words.
She still carried the jade pendant he gave her in her arms, and the soles of her feet were blood blisters from walking back to Qingcang Mountain from the capital three days ago.
She didn't know that he told the Liu family secretly to listen to these words.
She didn't even know that on the third day after she left, a woman from a theater troupe moved into the general's mansion under the name "Alian", and she almost died under the knife of the double.
It rained in Qingcang Mountain for another seven days.
When Tan Xiaosi was collecting medicine for himself in the muddy water, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
She didn't look back, gritted her teeth and said, "You have recognized the wrong person, sir. My name is Tan Xiaosi, not A-Lian."
The visitor got off his horse, knelt in the mud and looked up at her:
"I've been looking for you for three months. I know about the fake Alian, and what was said outside the study was for the ears of the Liu family. You believe me, okay?"
He is the general of Zhenbei, and she is a village girl collecting herbs.
He once asked her to save his life while hiding his identity, and she once dared to leave for three days and three nights after hearing half a lie.
Now he was kneeling in the mud and begging her to turn back, and she was still holding in her hand the hatchet that had chopped the seven-leaf lotus for him.
The most worthless thing in the world is gratitude, the most annoying thing is misunderstanding, and the most damning thing is the unfinished sentence "I have you in my heart."
