Chapter 1020 The Unfortunate Person (Part )

"Snapped!"

"what……"

Just as Xunzhen was patiently persuading him with reason and emotion, the confused Luo Ningyu suddenly became angry and raised her hand without warning, slapping Xunzhen hard in the face. Pan Yuyin, who was standing beside him, was shocked and screamed subconsciously.

In an instant, five clear fingerprints slowly appeared on Xunzhen's cheek, and a trickle of bright red blood oozed out from the corner of her mouth.

"Why did my mother murder my father? Who did she collude with secretly? Why did she collude with others? Others may not know these things, but don't you know them? Xunzhen, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. If it weren't for your instigation and lobbying, would father have the idea of ​​treason? If father hadn't rebelled, even if Liu Xunyi was a traitor planted by the court, the situation would not have become unmanageable, and mother would not have colluded with Zhao Yuan secretly and gone astray. In the final analysis, you are the culprit! Without you, father would not have died!" Luo Ningyu glared at Xunzhen, who seemed to be in a daze, and said with gritted teeth, "My family was broken up from the day you appeared in the Xianwang Mansion. It's not enough that you killed my father, now you want to kill my mother..."

"boom!"

As if disturbed by the noise in the room, the seven or eight guards guarding the yard rushed in hurriedly and swarmed into the room.

"Miss, what happened..."

"Everyone, step back!" Xunzhen interrupted their questioning without even turning his head, and said in a deep voice, "Without my order, no one is allowed to step into the door. Those who violate the order will be severely punished!"

"Yes……"

The guards' faces changed, and they hurriedly bowed and accepted the order. Even though they were confused, they dared not interfere anymore, and they left the room in dismay.

"Miss Xunzhen, you are bleeding..."

"It's out of the way."

Xunzhen absentmindedly pushed away the handkerchief that Pan Yuyin handed over, and looked at Luo Ningyu with a serious look. After a long pause, he finally said something meaningful: "Miss Luo's slap just now... made me feel much better."

"You caused my family to be destroyed, don't think that a mere slap in the face can wipe it out." Luo Ningyu's eyes were red, and she cried while scolding, "You knew that I hated you to the core, but you came to see me, just to find a little comfort for your conscience. Xunzhen, if my mother and grandfather meet with an unexpected accident tomorrow, I will never forgive you in my life... No! I should never forgive you in my life!"

Having said this, Luo Ningyu cast a resentful look at the anxious Pan Yuyin.

"Miss Luo knows that even without me, Alliance Leader Luo and Ling Xiaoxiao would not live together forever. The root cause of their marital rift is not Alliance Leader Luo's conspiracy to rebel, but... emotional discord. As early as more than 20 years ago, when Ling Xiaoxiao killed the pregnant Xiao Zhirou, a seed of hatred was deeply planted. Until today, because Ling Xiaoxiao's affair was exposed, Alliance Leader Luo was disheartened and forced to turn from love to hatred and act to such an extreme... It is obvious that the trouble started from within the family and then changed to something else. Why does Miss Luo have to deceive herself and blame me?"

"you……"

In front of the eloquent Xunzhen, Luo Ningyu could not get the slightest advantage. Moreover, everything Xunzhen said was true, leaving Luo Ningyu with no room for argument.

"Also! Why does Miss Luo only have mother and grandfather in her heart?" Xunzhen continued, "As far as I know, Alliance Master Luo loved you very much when he was alive. Now that he has died with hatred, why are you unwilling to avenge him as his daughter? Do you hope that Alliance Master Luo will never rest in peace in the underworld..."

"Dad is dead!"

When Luo Tianjin was mentioned, Luo Ningyu seemed to have uncovered a fatal scar hidden deep in her heart. The heart-wrenching pain made her feel worse than death and was unforgettable.

At this moment, her mind and body were twitching violently, and the tears that burst out of her eyes were like a flood. For a moment, she forgot about the years, herself, and her grudges. She shouted loudly without restraint and beat her chest like a madman.

"Dad is dead... Dad is dead... Dad is dead..."

Luo Ningyu repeated the same words like a madman. These words were heartless and even had a bit of the heartless meaning of "people leave and tea gets cold". Such unscrupulous and inhumane "unfilial words". If she hadn't been helpless, she would never say such nonsense.

The pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows and the grief of being burned in the heart once again crushed her already broken and fragile heart.

"Dad is dead... What do you want me to do?" Luo Ningyu asked, crying and pressing, "Dad is dead, but Mom and Grandpa are still alive and well... Dad is a loved one who loves me, and Mom and Grandpa are also loved ones... To avenge Dad, I have to kill Mom and Grandpa, otherwise I would be disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust... What choice do you want me to make? If it were you, what would you choose?"

As if deeply moved by Luo Ningyu's heartfelt words, Xunzhen couldn't bear to say anything provocative when he saw her tearful, pitiful appearance. He reached out and held her in his arms, letting her struggle for a moment, and then she lay in his arms and cried loudly.

"Emotions are complicated and changeable. They are by no means a simple 'right and wrong', nor can they be easily shaken by a phrase like 'clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment'. It is true that Madam Luo killed Alliance Leader Luo, but it is also true that Madam Luo raised Miss Luo and doted on her. We are all living people with flesh and blood and emotions. How can we clearly distinguish between love and hate when facing our loved ones who we spend every day with? How can we be so heartless?" Pan Yuyin put one hand on Xunzhen's shoulder and stroked Luo Ningyu's back with the other. Whether out of sympathy or emotion, she was already in tears and choked with sobs with every word. "We cannot interfere in the right and wrong of the previous generation, but no matter who is right or wrong, Miss Luo is innocent..." "Miss Xunzhen, I beg you..."

Suddenly, Luo Ningyu's attitude changed drastically. With tears in her eyes, she hugged Xunzhen's arm tightly and begged desperately without any dignity: "Please let me go, let me see mother and grandfather, let me resolve this hatred... okay? You have done so many things deliberately, just to clear Liu Xunyi's name and restore his true identity, right? I swear, I will never let mother and grandfather hurt Liu Xunyi, and I will not let them investigate the faults of you and Uncle Xie... and all the people involved in this matter. In the future, everyone will keep to themselves and live in peace with each other, okay? I don't recognize Liu Xunyi as my 'brother' anymore. I won't avenge my father, and I don't even want the Xianwang Mansion. I just want my mother and grandpa to live in peace... Let me beg them, let me beg Uncle Xie... All the mistakes, all of them are my fault, okay? Miss Xunzhen, I beg you! At the beginning, I regretted that I couldn't save my father's life from Liu Xunyi. Now I don't want to repeat the same mistake, and I don't want to see Liu Xunyi and mother fighting to the death... Believe me! I can definitely resolve this crisis... Let me try, I beg you..."

Looking at the anxious and crying Luo Ningyu with complicated eyes, Xunzhen kept wiping the tears from her face with his hands, but unfortunately... they could never be wiped away completely.

"Miss Xunzhen, I was wrong! I shouldn't blame you, scold you, or even hit you... I'm ignorant, confused, and a bastard... You can scold me! Hit me! I just beg you to let me out..." Luo Ningyu tightly grasped Xunzhen's hand as if she was grabbing the last straw, and said intermittently, "They are all my relatives, I can't watch them kill each other... I beg you to have mercy, please give me a chance to resolve the hatred..."

"Miss Xunzhen, is this matter... really irreconcilable? Do you have to fight to the death?" Pan Yuyin couldn't help but plead for Luo Ningyu, "Miss Xunzhen has always been very smart, she will definitely be able to come up with a solution that has the best of both worlds..."

"This matter involves a wide range of issues, has huge implications, and has a profound impact... It's far beyond your imagination. Even if we are willing to stop, Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao will not give up..."

"Let me go and tell them!" Luo Ningyu pleaded impatiently, "After all, they are my mother and grandfather, they will definitely think of family affection..."

"If they had cared about their family ties, they would not have killed Lord Luo, and they would not have kept it a secret from you and the world to pursue Liu Xunyi."

"Miss Xunzhen, I..."

"Miss Luo, I'm sorry!"

Xunzhen was determined and no longer gave Luo Ningyu a chance to argue. He suppressed his inner struggle and completely extinguished Luo Ningyu's last hope with a trembling and firm voice.

After saying that, Xunzhen, who had a hard heart, ignored Luo Ningyu's wailing and yelling, and shook her hand off. He suddenly stood up and walked towards the door without looking back.

"Miss Pan, please take good care of Miss Luo."

After giving the instructions, Xunzhen walked out of the room quickly and gave a stern order to the guards who were looking at each other in bewilderment: "Before sunset tomorrow, Luo Ningyu must not leave here!"

"As ordered!"

After giving the order, the upset Xunzhen was worried that he could not resist Luo Ningyu's repeated pleas and his will would waver, so he made up his mind and hurriedly left the house.

However, when Xunzhen, with mixed feelings, walked out of the alley, a tall and burly figure came towards him and the two almost bumped into each other.

"who is it……"

"Xunzhen, don't panic, it's me!" Under the moonlight, a familiar face slowly appeared in front of Xunzhen.

"Abaolu?" Xunzhen was stunned at first after recognizing who it was. Then he suppressed his frustration and asked suspiciously, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"Tomorrow is the 'Eradication of Traitors Conference'. This is a serious matter. How dare I delay... Eh?" Before he finished speaking, Abaolu suddenly noticed Xunzhen's slightly swollen cheeks. His eyes changed immediately and he said angrily, "Your face..."

"It's just a small matter, let's not talk about it! Tell me quickly, the person I asked you to meet ..."

"Don't worry! The young master has arrived in Luoyang City in the evening."

"really?"

After Abaolu said this, Xunzhen, who had always been calm in the face of adversity, could not help but show his joy, and his words showed: "Tonight, many unexpected events happened again and again, and bad news came one after another, making it difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and between enemies and friends. I am very upset and uneasy. Now that he is here, I... no longer have to worry."
