This question was also asked by Zong Yinmu to Zhao Chuli at the mourning hall of King Changnan in the dream.
However, Zhao Chuli at that time firmly answered yes, he just liked Zong Yin's marriage so much.
She felt that Zhao Chuli at that time was just being tricked by his superiors and made such an impulsive statement.
After a hundred years, I wonder if I will calm down a little bit.
Zong Lu's eyes froze for a moment.
Su Mi continued:
"Do you really love her, or are you unwilling to suffer the humiliation of having your fiancée robbed, the pain of being laughed at by Beijing people, and the pain of being betrayed by your best friend?"
"In other words, if Zong Yin's marriage was not snatched away by King Changnan and she successfully married you, are you sure you will really love her so much and be in harmony with her for the rest of your life?"
Zong Lu's face moved slightly.
Su Mi said quietly:
"The so-called 'love' you have for Zong Yin'an becomes stronger because it is mixed with reluctance, regret, hatred for King Changnan, and the loss of your own dignity. In fact, this kind of love has nothing to do with it at all.
If it’s not pure, is it really called love?”
"Zong Yinyou would rather spread rumors that she is an immoral and ugly girl than explain herself, just to peacefully terminate the engagement with you and marry the person she truly likes."
"Even now, do you still want to deceive yourself and others? Zong Yin's true love is King Changnan, and it will never be you."
"In the previous life's Zongyin marriage, the person I loved was not you. In this life, I also have Huo Shenxiu by my side. Please wake up and figure out what you really want in your heart. Okay?"
Zong Lu's eyes were distracted, and his fingers that were on the asphalt gradually scratched the ground, and his nails were worn to the point of bleeding, but he still didn't feel the pain.
Su Mi knew that she had struck a secret in his heart, and looked directly at his miserable face:
"You were choked by the second master just now. In the most uncomfortable moment of dying, who was the first thing that came to your mind, and who was the one who came to your mind for the longest time? That is the person you really care about, but I guess it must not be me.
Or Zongyin Marriage, right?"
"That's all I have to say. I hope you can figure it out, and I hope we can still be a family."
Squat down and gently place the remaining pack of paper towels on the ground.
Turn around and leave.
After walking a few steps, he stopped again, as if he thought of something.
Looking back:
"I want to know something."
"Why do you hate and target the second master so much? Is it just because I want to marry him?"
"It's because, Second Master..."
After a pause, he said:
"...Second Master's previous life was also someone we knew?"
Zong Lu frowned fiercely, clenched his fists, and his joints bulged.
She looked at his reaction and sighed:
"...If it is said that everyone will be reincarnated, then his previous life was Duan Beixiao, King of Changnan. Isn't that right?"
Zong Lu's expression suddenly changed again.
After a long time, he glanced at Huo Shenxiu, raised his eyes, and stared at Su Mi:
"I'm not 100% sure. But the first time I saw it, I had a feeling of déjà vu."
"I hate him, but I feel something indescribable..."
"Guilty."
Su Mi took a breath and couldn't help but look at Huo Shenxiu. Suddenly, an emotional smile appeared on her lips.
So he said that he fell in love with himself the first time he saw him, and he also said that he felt like he owed him something...
Is it all because the two of them are really destined for each other and their marriage has been predestined?
But he didn't ask any more questions, nodded, turned and left.
Zong Lu watched her get into the car with Huo Shenxiu, speed away, and sit on the empty road absentmindedly, not standing up for a long time.
In his ears, Shang was still thinking about Su Mi's question to him just now.
He doesn't know whether his true love for Zong Yin is true, but...
Su Mi was right about one thing.
Just now, Huo Shenxiu rode a heavy machine and slammed into him. The moment he thought he was about to be smashed to pieces, he closed his eyes.
There is indeed a person flashing through my mind.
Zong Paner.
Just like in his previous life, when he was waiting to die after taking Hedinghong, he lay alone in the quiet room of his house without being disturbed.
At that time, the image of Zong Paner kneeling and crying on the steps outside the house was still in my mind.
No matter in the past life or in this life, every time when he was about to die, what lingered in his mind was the wife who had been looked down upon by him all his life and whom he used as a substitute.
Why……
Is it because of guilt?
Zong Pan'er knew that the person he was thinking about was Zong Yin'm, and yet he jumped into the flames and voluntarily married him. What did he have to feel guilty about?
He closed his swollen eyes, knelt on the ground, and covered his face. There was cold wetness between his hands.
Suddenly, I felt that for a moment, the strength supporting me had fallen.
**
Huo Shenxiu drove Su Mi back to the villa in his own car.
As soon as he got back, he asked his bodyguard to go to the suburbs and bring back the car that Su Mi had driven there.
Just after I finished explaining, I saw Su Mi still standing in the yard and didn't go in.
He just thought she was frightened, walked over, raised his hand and touched her face:
"As long as he doesn't harass you anymore, I won't cause trouble for him anymore."
Su Mi slowly pulled his hand down: "I'm not worried about this."
Zong Lu should not harass her anymore.
What worries her is that the knot in his heart has not been resolved.
He raised his eyebrows.
Su Mi asked seriously: "Second uncle, you still doubt what happened to Zong Lu and me these days, don't you?"
His expression changed, and then he held her tightly in his arms like a rebellious boy in adolescence.
"I don't care what happens between you. You are mine."
She grabbed his fingers into her palms, raised her little face in his strong arms, and gave a soft voice, like a spring breeze, which could soothe an anxious heart:
"Second uncle, I really have nothing to do with him these days. He comes to my room for a while every day, but it's just to sit for a while, and he definitely doesn't exceed the limit."
"That day, he was a little impulsive. He made a mistake and tore my clothes. Chi Heng came in and saw it. I don't know if you misunderstood something from Chi Heng. But I think it is still necessary to make it clear to you.
Nothing happened between me and him."
No matter how many mistakes there are in Zonglu, there is one indelible advantage.
At his core, he is an ancient man.
Always carrying the style of the ancients from a hundred years ago.
After all, he came from the father-in-law's house and was a relative of the country. He was a handsome gentleman who received orthodox education since childhood.
Even if he was impulsive and did something to slander his love rival.
However, it is absolutely impossible for him to go against a woman's will and forcefully attack her.
Huo Shenxiu's face gradually relaxed, he lowered his face again, and came close to her ear, and an ambiguous and deep voice lingered:
"Then prove it to me."
She didn't know what nonsense he was thinking about, so she hooked the side of his clothes with her slender fingers: "You haven't proved enough yet?"
Her charming appearance caused another wave of sweat to break out on his forehead.
How is it possible?
He pushed her into his arms and kissed her hard.
Xiao Subao heard the sound of the car and knew that the two of them were back, so she ran out. When she saw the two of them making out, her brows suddenly wrinkled on her fleshy little face:
“Not too childish!”
After being interrupted by the little guy, Su Mi quickly slipped out of someone's arms.
Huo Shenxiu didn't care, he pulled Su Mi back into his palm, led her towards the inside, and said to his son:
"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
Su Mi gave the little guy a wink, and then Little Subao went in first.
After entering the door, Su Mi was about to go upstairs to coax Xiao Subao to sleep, but was stopped by Huo Shenxiu.
Seeing that he seemed to have something to ask her, she stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Shenxiu said: "Is Zong Lu's thoughts about you related to the soul in his body?"
Su Mi was not surprised that he would make such a guess. She paused and nodded.
Unexpectedly, Huo Shenxiu pondered for a while and continued: "Is the soul in his body Zhao Chuli?"
Su Mi's expression changed.
As soon as he saw her reaction, he knew that he was right.
Although this little woman didn't tell him, through the things she told him several times -
For example, Zong Lu once called out the name of Zong Yin’s wife, the ancestor of the Zong family hundreds of years ago.
For example, the Zong family collected portraits and calligraphy of Zhao Chuli.
He could more or less guess it.
After a while, his eyes darkened a little, complex and playful:
"No wonder Zong Lu and Zhao Menglou have very different temperaments, but they have such a good personal relationship with him and leave all the legal affairs of the Zong family to the other party..."
It's amazing that the current Zonglu is actually the ancestor of the Zhao family.
