But she had never lived for herself.
By the time she learned the truth, she already had one foot in the King Yama Hall.
How did it come to this?
Seeing Zhao Shuyue like this, Liu Qinian panicked, "Shuyue, don’t be like this! I’m not dead, I haven’t died! I’m still alive, I know I’ve wronged you all these years! But I couldn’t help it, it was all due to the circumstances!"
Zhao Shuyue looked at Liu Qinian with a desolate gaze, "So, what have you come here for today? Are you here to boast that you now have a son and a daughter, while I’ve lived like a joke? Liu Qinian, ask yourself, has the Zhao Family ever mistreated you? What did you promise my father? Since you’re still alive, why didn’t you come looking for me? Looking at your clothes, it doesn’t seem like it’s because you couldn’t afford to, right?"
Some people would be better off dead.
All these years, if Liu Qinian had truly wanted to find her, he would not have failed to do so.
But Liu Qinian hadn’t.
Not only had he not, but he had also remarried.
How ironic all of this was!
Back then, Liu Qinian was just a destitute beggar too poor to eat, fainting at the doorstep of the Zhao Family. It was Old Master Zhao who took pity on him, picked up the half-dead Liu Qinian, and later took him in as a son-in-law.
Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long.
The couple had been married for hardly half a year before war broke out.
The entire Zhao Family, over two hundred people, were either killed or fled, in the end leaving only Zhao Shuyue alone.
"Shuyue, I’ve wronged you! I apologize to you!" Liu Qinian immediately knelt on the ground, "Shuyue, please forgive me! From now on, my children with Wentang will be your children, they will take good care of you, and moreover, Wentang said, she wants to give Xiaoru to you as an adopted child!"
