Hegu turned over and ran away from Zhang Shiyan's arms, ignoring Zhang Shiyan's hold on his arms. She was mainly worried and a little scared. She was afraid of being too close to him, and she was afraid that she would not be able to bear to leave. But what scared her the most was that she

I can't see through the mind of the man in front of me. What is he thinking? Are the intimacy and tenderness he shows real?

Or, what kind of little thoughts are hidden behind the gentleness he shows?

Regarding what happened in the Zhang Mansion three years ago, Hegu was still frightened and did not dare to easily trust anyone, even the people she had loved.

"I haven't seen her for more than three years. Why have you become more indifferent?" The woman in front of him who had maintained an estranged relationship with him made him feel a little strange. Although she was only a doctor and had a cold temperament, she had never been so cold before.

Could it be that she has experienced something else in the past three years?

Hegu immediately noticed something was wrong with Zhang Shiyan. She was afraid that Zhang Shiyan would doubt her identity. She seemed to be carrying an uneasy secret in her heart. She covered the medicine towel in her hand and explained, "Hegu has a cold temperament. When she was young, she used to be...

An abandoned baby was rescued by his master, and he followed him to practice medicine and save people. He was separated from life and death, and the human heart was unpredictable. He had seen many things, so he was inevitably indifferent."

The speaker and his aunt quietly stepped back, taking half a step back.

Although Zhang Mansion is a wealthy and down-to-earth family, he is still a descendant of King Zhang, but his family status is not as good as before.

The eldest son of the house in front of me was once a scoundrel, but in order to honor his family name, he followed his father's instructions, restrained his nature, and became an official.

Although Zhang Shiyan had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had good skills, he was still a little weak due to his three-day self-confidence of energy and blood. When he stood up, his vision was blurry and dark, and he staggered and his body was unstable.

He Gu raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of his embarrassed appearance, and she could not help but have thoughts of kindness in her heart. Zhang Shiyan was a proud and arrogant person. What would happen if he knew that he had been plotted by Liu Cong and lost his power in Jiangyin?

"I always feel...are you hiding something from me?" Zhang Shiyan looked into Hegu's eyes and saw the hesitation in speaking, and the thoughts that kept turning over and over again.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Zhang Shiyan didn't know that He Gu was Liu Cong, so he just assumed that she had some difficulties that she didn't want to say.

He Gu just shook her head, leaned forward and prepared to go out, "Where are you going? You and I have gone there, and our young son has been raised. You are the child's mother, and I am the child's father. Is there anything else that cannot be said?"

At this point, Hegu suddenly laughed, either sarcastically to herself or thinking that his embarrassed look was ridiculous, "So what if I give birth to a child? That's just the past."

"You, the Zhang family, have never regarded me as one of your own. I don't expect my mother to be more valuable than my son. That is Chen Feng's old-fashioned thinking. I just can't bear to be young and wander with me outside."

Hegu had a score in her heart. She expected that Liu Cong would not do anything dangerous to Anxun casually, because he was Zhang Shiyan's son, but if this child was not Zhang Shiyan's son, there would not be so many troubles.

.

Investigating its root cause, it is still related to the Zhang family, to the large households in Longxi, and to the struggle between military strategists in these troubled times.

Zhang Shiyan wore a plain white robe and an embroidered scarf with a flower belt, while his aunt had been wandering away all year round, wearing coarse linen clothes and a wooden hairpin.

Every time Hegu mentioned that he could not integrate into the Zhang family, it seemed to touch upon Zhang Shiyan's pain point. It was not that he had never proposed to his parents to hire Hegu into the family as his wife, but he was blocked for many reasons. For example, Hegu's identity was not good enough.

Yin has no family and no power. Furthermore, she is a wandering doctor and cannot settle down, and so on.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Shiyan's mother, the Xin family of Longxi, looked down upon this reckless doctor who came from the countryside. Furthermore, in order to strengthen the power of the Zhang family, she planned to use Zhang Shiyan's marriage to win over the Yin family, a powerful family in Liangzhou.

Zhang Shiyan's heart ached, and he couldn't explain it clearly. He was caught between his aunt and his parents, and he was in a dilemma, and it was difficult to mediate. "What should I say so that you can believe me?"

Even though He Gu was cold-blooded, and the coldness was even worse due to his medical experience, He Gu could not forget the pain that was so painful.

"Three years ago, in the Zhang Mansion, your mother wrongly accused me of harming someone because of a quack doctor. You cut off my little finger to prove my innocence. But have you investigated and found out that I didn't prescribe the crippling medicine at all?"

This matter has annoyed He Gu for more than a year, but now she has spoken out about it calmly, and I don't know if she has let it go.

Due to lack of energy and blood, his vision was dim, Zhang Shiyan was in a daze. He put one hand on the medicine table, but was burned by the medicine stove. He immediately retracted his hand and stood supporting the medicine table.

He knew everything. He only knew that this trick was devised by his mother to make things difficult for his aunt to leave: "I know the whole story. I know that you didn't prescribe the medicine. It was just that my mother wanted to drive you away."

For a moment, I didn't know whether it was the effect of the medicine or internal discomfort. My throat was tight, as if something was about to spurt out. He Gu looked at the man in front of her, seeing all his discomfort in her eyes, and did not help.

"Three years ago, it was not this incident that made me leave, but the more than 10,000 people you killed at the school training ground outside Yiyang County." He Gu asked again, "How can you bear it?

"

Zhang Shiyan smiled calmly and explained comfortingly: "Madam, that's a thief."

But this statement did not satisfy He Gu, and He Gu asked again, "Are you sure they are all thieves? You did not kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

I also heard that among the more than 10,000 people, there are many doctors and common people, even my master is among them!"

Zhang Shiyan felt more and more uncomfortable all over his body and his throat felt astringent, but he still used his internal strength to smooth out the remaining poison surging in his body. He explained: "They are all common people and innocent people in disguise. Your master is not among them. I also sent people to speak privately.

After investigation, the old man may be hiding in the mountains or wandering around the world without knowing his whereabouts. Please don't listen to other people's rumors and become suspicious of me."

"Three years ago, I cut off your little finger, and I still feel guilty. I am willing to do anything in my life and the rest of my life to compensate you. Even if you want my life, you can take it at any time."

Hegu smiled, "How could I kill you?" Zhang Shiyan also laughed, "I knew you wouldn't kill me."

"Yes, you know me too well. If I kill you, what will happen to the people of Yiyang?"

While he was talking, Zhang Shiyan's residual poison broke out, and his inner strength could no longer be contained. A mouthful of blood spurted out and sprinkled on the brocade white plain robe on his chest.

"Come and help me..." Zhang Shiyan stretched out his hands to He Gu and begged.

Hegu's thoughts were also confused. According to Zhang Shiyan's clever and clever temperament, he would not have guessed that she was Liu Cong's secret, but how could he give them a chance to meet alone?

Especially when he was weak from poisoning, even if he was not a martial artist, He Gu could kill him in minutes, and besides, he had not brought any close followers with him.

Hegu's mind was a little confused, but as if his body reacted automatically, he stepped forward and hugged Zhang Shiyan who was about to fall, and asked doubtfully, "Don't you suspect that I am Liu Cong's man?"

Zhang Shiyan fell into He Gu's arms, feeling somewhat satisfied in his heart. He held He Gu's hand, which was wrapped in a towel soaked in herbs, "You are Liu Cong's, I know."

"You know?" She was shocked.

He continued to explain: "If you don't surrender to Liu Cong, you will definitely suffer physical and flesh pain. Surrendering to Liu Cong is also an act of helplessness on your part. I also know this.

The time of trial is over... My dear, I am no longer the playboy who followed Si Nai around the flower house in the past."

He murmured: "Auntie, I have really changed a lot and grown a lot in the past three years since you left. My wings are not full yet. I just want to protect you and this pure land."

No matter how warm Zhang Shiyan was, He Gu couldn't stop because she knew that he was a humble citizen and could not marry a wealthy family forever.

"You have surrendered to Liu Cong like this. Liu Cong must have never imagined that you would meet me again. How about you and I working together to destroy the Liu family and rescue my son Anxun?"

Zhang Shiyan asked.

But now Hegu's thoughts were in chaos. She was supposed to poison Zhang Shiyan to death before visiting Zhang's house, but after seeing him, she couldn't bear it. This poisoning only damaged nine of his internal organs.

There is still some energy left.

The aunt hesitated and did not give an answer.

Zhang Shiyan saw He Gu in a dilemma and her thoughts were confused, but he smiled and said, "I knew it.

The purpose of your visit this time was to kill me and silence me, but you still relented.

The medicine is not strong enough."

"You still can't bear to kill me."
