The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Yan Shu was a little nervous at the moment. Her skills in psychological warfare were not enough in front of Jiang Ci. All the things she had just said seemed to be complete nonsense to him.

If she continued talking and made him unhappy, there was no telling what he would do to her.

It would be fine if she died in his hands, but it was obvious that he would not let her die easily.

Jiang Ci held Yan Shu quietly for a while, and his fluctuating emotions gradually stabilized.

He said, "There won't be anyone else."

Yan Shu:?

Jiang Ci gently distanced themselves from each other and looked directly at her with deep eyes.

"I experienced the darkest year in the cold palace when I was a child. I saw all kinds of demons in human skin. The concubines who used to fawn on my mother and beg for mercy quickly tore off their hypocritical masks after the Feng family lost power. They were like evil spirits living in the abyss, wishing to tear me to pieces after I fell from the clouds. I clearly remember that just over a month after my mother passed away, Concubine Lan, who was on good terms with my mother, falsely accused me of stealing the imperial bracelet she was wearing. In order to punish me, she ordered people to throw me into an abandoned well in the cold palace. The night in late autumn was chilly, and the water in the abandoned well covered my neck. My body went from being icy cold to gradually numb. That helplessness and fear still often torture me in my dreams. In order to survive, I held on to the well tightly. I didn’t dare let go of a weed growing on the wall. Maybe it was because I was young at the time, and that weed kept me going all night. It wasn’t until the next day that Concubine Lan asked her eunuchs to pull me up. Since then, I have been seriously ill. The fifth prince’s mother, Concubine De, was afraid that the old emperor would think of me, the abandoned son, one day, so she asked the eunuchs in the cold palace to put chronic poison in my food for a long time. If it weren’t for Jiang Huan’s mother secretly protecting me, I would have died in the cold palace that year. The current queen, Zhao, was gentle and kind to me on the surface, but humiliated me in private, locked me in a dog cage for seven days and seven nights, made me compete with wild dogs for food when I was hungry, stripped me naked, and was laughed at and insulted in public by Ye Lanxuan and several other princes and princesses.”

Yan Shu's heart was deeply hurt. The original book described that Jiang Ci had suffered inhuman torture during the year he lived in the cold palace.

But the text only summarized that his situation was very bad, but it was only in a few words. Only when I heard him narrate the true past with my own ears did I truly understand his miserable experience. He was only a child of four or five years old at that time. How could those women in the harem be so perverted?

Jiang Ci lowered his eyes, his inky black eyes fell on the hand that Yan Shu was holding on his sleeve. Because she was holding it too tightly, his sleeve was already wrinkled beyond recognition.

Her eyes curved slightly, she really cared about him.

"I'm not saying this to make you pity me, sister-in-law. I just want to tell you that I've seen the most despicable means in the harem. Those gorgeous women are just as vicious as men. So from then on, I hated women deep in my heart. If you hadn't appeared, I would most likely have ended up alone."

Jiang Ci pulled Yan Shu into his arms: "I envy Liu Hanyue. He has been loved by his father and brother since he was born. Although he is weak, he can live freely. He can do whatever he wants, but I can't be so willful and free. As you said, I have too heavy a burden on my shoulders. I have to avenge my mother and the Feng family. I admit that I am despicable. I am in the depths of hell but I long to hold on to that ray of light. I don't know how deep my love for you was before I lost my memory, but after I lost my memory, I still wanted to be close to you so persistently. The moment I heard with my own ears that you were engaged to someone else, it hurt so much."

Jiang Ci pressed Yan Shu's hand on his chest. When her palm touched the hot beating heart, a deep pain surged in her heart.

She really wanted to be with him for the rest of her life, but why did fate treat him like this? Since it arranged for her to appear in his life, why couldn't it last a little longer?

She wanted to give him all her love, but if she stayed with him regardless of everything, he would only be more miserable after she left.

"Dangdang!"

"Qiang!"

There was a crisp sound of metal collision coming from outside the house. Yan Shu's heart skipped a beat. She stood up and wanted to check the situation, but Jiang Ci stopped her.

"Don't go out, those people are coming for you."

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci in surprise: "Do you know who is coming?"

"After Wei Yang returned to the capital, the Grand Princess secretly sent assassins to Xinyang Mansion. Her target is you. I received the news from the capital in advance and have arranged a group of experts to protect Yan Mansion. You stay in the room and don't go out. I will go to check the situation."

"No, my parents, brother and sister-in-law are all here, especially my parents and eldest sister-in-law. They are unable to protect themselves. I must go over to protect them."

Yan Shu was very anxious. She pulled her hand back and ran towards the door. Jiang Ci followed her out because he was afraid that she might be in danger.

When the two walked out of the house, they saw dozens of black shadows fighting fiercely in the yard. Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang, Yan Wen, Yan Wu, Yan Huai, and Wen Yutang rushed out one after another.

"Dad, Mom!" Yan Shu immediately ran forward when he saw Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang.

"Shu'er, are you okay?"

Yan Shu urged, "I'm fine. These are assassins. Go back to the house and hide."

Yan Ersheng asked worriedly, "What on earth is going on?"

"I don't have time to explain. Dad, Mom, go to my eldest sister-in-law's room, close the door tightly and don't come out. Go quickly!"

Yan Ersheng knew that Yan Shu was worried that they had no martial arts skills and would only become a burden if they stayed here. Seeing Jiang Ci following his daughter, Yan Ersheng felt much more at ease and pulled Liu Wen Niang to Yan Wen's room.

Xu Shuangxue and Xiaolian, the master and servant, were standing at the door looking out. When they saw Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang running over, Xu Shuangxue hurried forward to inquire about the situation.

"Dad, Mom, what's going on outside? Why are there so many people in black suddenly coming to our house?"

Liu Wenniang reached out and supported Xu Shuangxue: "It's dangerous outside, let's go inside first."

"Are Yanwen and the others okay?"

Yan Ersheng said: "Nothing will happen as long as Jiang Ci is here, you guys stay in the room and don't go out."

After all the women entered the house, Yan Ersheng found the bow and arrow from Yan Wen's room and put it on his back. He closed the door and stood outside the house to guard the women inside, keeping a close eye on the situation outside.

The opponent came with great force and his moves were deadly. It was obvious at first glance that he was a well-trained killer.

Yan Shu noticed that the other side had more than forty people. Jiang Ci's men were better at martial arts than those killers, but they did not have the advantage in numbers.

After calmly observing the situation, Yan Shu said to Yan Wen, Yan Wu, Yan Huai and Wen Yutang: "Big brother is an accurate archer, you come to shoot arrows from a distance to help Jiang Ci harass them, second brother, Yutang, you two stay together to attack and defend, protect each other, third brother, come with me."

"it is good!"
