    Qin Huailing stared at Yuan Shuangrui darkly. Every time he thought of her ruthlessness and callousness back then, a surge of rage would bubble over in his heart. No matter what he did, the hatred he felt would not go away.


    “So you wanted to kill me just because you are useful?”


    “It’s not that I wanted to kill you, it’s because the Qin family had caught the eye of the Old Madam of the Yuan family. Ning An City is a prosperous ce, and the riches of its noble families can make people’s eyes turn. Who doesn’t love money? Hah. That’s why the Yuan family wanted to take over the Qin family, and I was the breakthrough.”


    When Qin Huailing heard that, his heart skipped a beat. “I’m asking about you. What were you thinking back then?”


    Yuan Shuangrui’s face stiffened as her expression hardened. “Me?”


    “That’s right.”


    “What can I possibly think? You think it’s so easy to survive in a noble family?”


    Qin Huailing red viciously at Yuan Shuangrui. “What a pompous reason. Didn’t you lead a good life even before you met me?”


    Yuan Shuangrui’s hands trembled before she continued, “Qin Huailing, actually, I’m about to die, so I won’t lie to you. I’m a selfish person to begin with. The Old Madam said before that as long as I abandon my rtionship with you and harm you, I will be the next heir to the Yuan family. My other siblings won’t be able to discriminate against me, look down on me, or bully me again. I can do whatever I want to them.”


    “So you were tempted by that?”


    Yuan Shuangrui shook her head. “No. The Old Madam even said that if I cannot aplish my mission, she will also strike behind the scenes. Either way, you have been targeted by the Yuan family. Even if I didn’t harm you, the Old Madam would still do it.”


    Qin Huailing smacked his palm on the table beside him as he shouted, “Nonsense!”


    Seeing how enraged Qin Huailing was, Yuan Shuangrui’s heart shuddered. She pursed her lips before she continued, “Things have alreadye to this, so I don’t want to lie to you anymore. Back then, I was suffering from a major illness and needed a bone marrow transnt. The Old Madam said I will only be able to live if Iplete the mission. You see, human nature is selfish to begin with. I just wanted to have a chance to live. Is that wrong?”


    When Qin Huailing heard this, his body swayed a little. He did not know what to say to that.


    After knowing the real reason now, his heart felt empty. His hatred disappeared as well.


    Seeing Qin Huailing like this now reminded Yuan Shuangrui of her youth, the time when he treated her well. The genius young man back then hated that he could not give the world to her, but she still betrayed his love for her own selfish reasons.


    Seeing Qin Huailing leave, her mouth trembled, as though she wanted to say something. But in the end, she did not say it.


    After Qin Huailing left, a teardrop rolled down from her eye.


    Before she was executed, the only person Yuan Shuangrui had in mind was Qin Huailing. She smiled. She would use her life to pay back what she owed Qin Huailing this time.


    In fact, she felt really heartened to know that he could stand up again.


    The thoughts of a person on their deathbed would alwayse from the heart.


    At the same time, in a secluded corner, Han Mubai stood. No one knew that he came to quietly send Yuan Shuangrui off.


    ...


    After hearing what happened to the Yuan family, Majesty Huang, Xiajun Yanli, fell silent for a long time.


    He then said to the butler, “Uncle, tell me. If I continue avoiding, what will happen to the capital? What will happen to Country A?”


    “Your Majesty does not need to worry. Majesty Kang will handle everything well.”


    “Uncle, Ting has be a little wayward now.”


    ...


    After the Yuan family’s incident, thedies from reputable households became excited. It was because Young Master Han was now single again.


    He was a golden bachelor. It would be ady’s fortune to get together with him.


    Hence, clothes, jewelry, and all sorts of essories became hot sellers as all the singledies were busy dolling themselves up to catch the eye of Young Master Han.
