Long Qian Xing hated this kind of person very much. If he does love her, he should never hurt her. Even if the situation forced him to, he had to figure out a way to make sure not to hurt her to the point of no return like that. And if he hated her, he could use different means to dispose of her rather than giving her false hope like that.
Nan Shu Cheng was the one who had destroyed Madam Nan's natal family. It was to the point that outsiders felt chilled when they heard the report read by the officials not long ago.
What kind of man would kill his father in law and mother in law?
The eyes they looked at him was like they were looking at a beast rather than human.
Filial piety is very strong in this era. And even if it was not that strong and revered, their moral compass with their heart could never accept it when they heard that there was a man who would kill their father in law and mother in law.
What kind of parents would bear to give their daughter to him if it would result in their death?
Thus, everyone steered away.
Not to mention, the officials mentioned the long term abuse that was done to Madam Nan. It was stated that she overdosed in various medicines and as a man, how could they not know what the use of these medicines were?
They could guess it.
And the medical report that was read by the officials told them that their guess shouldn't be wrong.
This made their heart turned cold.
Even though these officials mostly believe that men had higher position that woman… this action still chilled them.
At this moment, all the officials had come to a consensus that Nan Shu Cheng is a beast.
Nothing could change it.
Even Old Master Nan closed his heart and felt that his heart was aching. When he brought Madam Nan out of Nan Shu Cheng's Residence, her condition was really bad. So bad that he didn't know what he was supposed to do anymore.
The doctors were all telling him that she wouldn't be able to live long.
His granddaughter was also in coma because of the wound on her head and the blood that had been lost. There were some traces of bruises on her knees because Nan Hua was punished to kneel a lot, but it was not as bad as Madam Nan.
Still, for a young girl, that treatment was something that couldn't be accepted.
What did she do wrong that her own father would not feed her and instead punish her to kneel all night long?
Her hand was tired after writing for a long time but her father never praised her.
The young girl was completely disappointed in her father.
And in the last moment, she tried her best to stop him but ended up with the injury on her head.
He always regretted it.
Regretted bringing that bright and smart woman into his son's world. The only consolation he had was the two grandchildren were following him and not as stupid as Nan Shu Cheng.
But the price for the two of them to come to this world was very heavy.
It was so much that Old Master Nan always felt guilty.
But he knew that he had to live with it.
He was the one who arranged the marriage and didn't educate his son properly. This time, he didn't want to make the same mistake, so he let the two children grow up freely and protected them from behind.
That way, he hoped that they would grow up to be a decent person.
If they were to follow his father, he had told himself that he would be the one to personally settle them. There was no way he could possibly let the tragedy repeat itself.
And Nan Shu Cheng…
He couldn't kill him.
Because of a promise he had made in the past.
"You…"
Nan Shu Cheng looked at Long Qian Xing and was about to speak before he shut his mouth once more. He lowered his eyes and then laughed lightly.
For some reasons, the poem that Nan Hua recited to him many years ago resurfaced in his mind once more.
A pool of black water shows its true face under the light.
But a blind man only knows it's cool and comfortable.
Even a beast knows how to protect their cubs,
