The lips were gently caressed by warm fingers, giving them a tingling feeling.
"No pain."
These pains are nothing, it's the pain when the whip hits her one after another.
The bucket of salt water splashed on the body with broken skin and flesh was painful.
"Drink of water."
The lukewarm water slid down her throat, and Jiang Yuan felt a little better. She would never treat herself badly, and even if she was angry, she would not make herself uncomfortable.
What's more, she won't be angry, and she won't waste any of her feelings on unworthy things.
Qi Xuanzuo leaned Jiang Yuan's body into his arms, and placed his hands on her hair. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.
For a while, both of them were silent, and then they became silent again.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
She couldn't see the face above her head, but Jiang Yuan was a little curious about his expression since he had spoken to her in such a different tone since he came in.
What does he mean now?
I saw her miserable condition, so I regretted it? So I felt indebted?
"Why come here to pretend?" She didn't mean to accuse anyone, she just stated a fact very plainly.
Indeed, everything is his arrangement.
If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have been imprisoned in the prison.
If it hadn't been for him, Pei Guqing would not have dared to lynch her no matter how courageous she was.
Now that he has made up his mind, he should be resolute instead of just showing off.
Giving up halfway is not a good habit.
"You... a cruel woman." The body holding her was trembling slightly.
Qi Xuanzuo used a lot of strength to restrain himself and not throw Jiang Yuan out.
I was restless all night long. I secretly visited her, called the doctor for her, and treated her wounds, but I was scolded as a hypocrite?
"Who makes you so stubborn? If you are willing to stay by my side, no one can hurt you..."
"If the people you sent weren't unreliable and Pei Guqing died, you wouldn't be like this."
He had no intention of hurting her, whether it was for Bei Yue before or for her now.
There would be some grievances, but he never thought of hurting her.
