After the daughter was treated harshly by her family, everyone knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Chapter 1027 Admiration

In pursuit of the traces of Ning Cangmo's conspiracy, Ji Feiyan and the others chased him all the way to Shangshu County.

In front of him was an inn called Perfect Match. Ning Cangmo might have hidden Xie Yuchen in this inn.

Zhuo Minlan rushed forward, sneaked into the inn, followed the trail, and found a secret room underground.

Xie Yuchen was seen unconscious and tied to the bed. Zhuo Minlan carefully confirmed that there was nothing unusual around her and walked towards him quickly.

Suddenly, the door of the secret room was closed. Zhuo Minlan was frightened and turned around to check the situation. At the same time, she quietly reminded her senior sister.

"somebody is coming."

As far as she could see, her senior sister was not beside her. When the door to the secret room closed, she saw her senior sister standing outside, half of her face exposed, smiling.

"you……"

Unexpectedly, she panicked and ran away quickly, but she was a step too late and the door of the secret room was already closed.

"Big Sister, what happened? Did you close the door?"

"Sister?"

"Ji Feiyan! Open the door!"

Thinking back on what had happened, she realized that she had fallen into a trap, so she gathered all her strength and kicked the door of the secret room.

"Ji Feiyan, you are such a sinister villain!"

"You've been planning this for so long, just to deceive me. You're harming your fellow disciples. You're unreasonable!"

"As the eldest senior sister, do you have any elder demeanor?"

"When I get out, I won't forgive you..."

Xie Yuchen was awakened by the shouting and wanted to stretch, but found that his hands and feet were tied.

He was startled awake, looked around, saw Lord Zhuo, and asked.

"Master Zhuo, why did you tie me up?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Minlan's anger became even more uncontrollable.

"I have nothing better to do than to tie you up. In your eyes, I'm just a thief?!"

Xie Yuchen was panicked.

"No, no, I absolutely do not mean that."

"I want to ask, why are we here?"

Zhuo Minlan was annoyed.

"Of course he was tricked and brought here!"

"How can you ask such a simple question?"

Xie Yuchen quickly apologized.

"Yes, I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Master Zhuo."

"Excuse me, sir, where is this place?"

Zhuo Minlan's eyes were like those of a tiger, and he was filled with rage.

"What are you talking about? Why do you have so many stupid questions? If I answer these, will you be able to escape?!"

Xie Yuchen was trembling with fear.

"I……"

"I have made a mistake, but I don't know where it is. Please tell me clearly, sir, and I beg for your forgiveness."

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Zhuo Minlan felt a little sorry for him, so she put away her anger, walked to the bed, sat down, and helped untie him.

"You're right, it's my attitude that's bad."

"I was ambushed and locked up in this secret room. I was so angry that I couldn't control my temper."

"I blame myself for not being as smart as you. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you. I'm sorry."

It was against etiquette to sit on the same bed, so after Xie Yuchen was untied, he immediately got out of bed, brought a chair and sat upright.

"It's out of the way."

"It is my blessing to receive a few scoldings from Master Zhuo."

Zhuo Minlan's gaze followed him.

"You're so sweet."

"A twenty-year-old boy is indeed different."

Xie Yuchen has a bright and innocent smile.

"As far as I'm concerned, age has nothing to do with it."

"I seek your beauty and pleasure, and win your joy, because I am devoted to you."

"Ever since I was young, when I heard about your heroic deeds, I have admired you with all my heart."

She spoke sweet words shyly, and he was shy and changed the subject.

"Oh, right, you said you were attacked by someone."

"May I ask, sir, who is plotting against us?"

Staring at him, Zhuo Minlan's lips curled up unconsciously.

"It's Senior Sister."

Xie Yuchen was shocked.

"Master Ji?"

"How could she possibly be plotting against us? There must be some misunderstanding."

"I believe Lord Ji is upright and selfless, and aboveboard. He would not do such a deceitful act."

Zhuo Minlan spoke in a soft tone.

"You're still young, you don't understand."

"She did this for..."

Hearing her suddenly stop talking halfway, Xie Yuchen was confused and asked in confusion.

"for what?"

Zhuo Minlan shook her head and did not answer.

"nothing."

"What she did it for is unimportant and not worth mentioning."

Xie Yuchen's face was pure and innocent, just like his plain brocade robe, flawless and white as snow.

"No matter what Master Ji's reasons are, there is definitely no ill intention."

"I am very grateful to her for bringing us together."

"I'm timid and have never dared to express my feelings to you. The only time I mustered up the courage to tell you how much I love you, I never thought that the person I was in love with was Master Ji, and she heard it all."

"My story is absurd and makes Master Zhuo laugh."

Zhuo Minlan lowered her eyes, looking shy.

"You speak of love, and I hear it."

Xie Yuchen's eyes were confused, with a hint of surprise.

"You heard it? How could you hear it?"

Zhuo Minlan explained simply.

"All of this was planned by Senior Sister. She lured me into the game step by step."

"The one who truly loves you is me."

Xie Yuchen was pleasantly surprised.

"really?"

After thinking about it for a while, he felt something was wrong, so he asked a question.

"So, the child between Lord Ji and me was actually born by you?"

Zhuo Minlan smiled embarrassedly.

"No."

"I have never had a child."

"The baby you are raising is the adopted son of the eldest sister from a relative of the Ji clan."

Xie Yuchen was delighted.

"Excellent, very good."

"In this way, I will have no worries and can marry you."

Zhuo Minlan spoke, hesitant.

"I... don't plan to get married."

Xie Yuchen interpreted the meaning on his own.

"You mean, let me marry into your family?"

Zhuo Minlan spoke sternly.

"No."

"I like being single and don't want to be bound by marriage."

Xie Yuchen was worried.

"You showed me that after hearing me pour out my heart and explaining Lord Ji's strategy, aren't you saying, are you willing to marry me?"

"Or am I being too sentimental again? You don't have even a hint of affection for me?"

Zhuo Minlan's reasoning is righteous and concise.

“Marriage is a relationship between a husband and wife, where they spend the rest of their lives together, growing old together.”

"Master Xie, please know that I am fifty-five years old this year and cannot accompany you forever."

Xie Yuchen refused to give up.

"Are you afraid that after you pass away, I will marry someone else?"

"Don't be afraid, Master Zhuo. I am willing to follow you to the underworld."

Zhuo Minlan said sincerely.

"How could I bear to take your life? I'm not afraid of that."

"I'm afraid that after I leave, there will be no one to accompany you."

"By then, you might not be as young as you are now, and it will be difficult to marry a young and beautiful wife."

"Instead of wasting your time with me, why don't you just find someone you love and spend the rest of your life with."

Xie Yuchen is sincere.

"I like you, and I don't want to give my feelings to anyone else."

Zhuo Minlan spoke earnestly and insisted on refusing.

"I already know your feelings."

"At first, I thought you were obsessed with me because we just met at the beginning of the year, so I kept hiding and pretending not to know you."

"Big Sister, every step you take is planned carefully. I deeply understand your feelings. To be honest, I am deeply moved and yearn for it."

"But we are really not suitable."

"I hope that in the next life we will be destined to be together, with a similar age and a good match, and we can be happily married."
