"Do you have nothing to say to him?"
This sentence made me feel a little lost for a moment.
What do you want to leave for him?
What else do I have to leave for him?
All what should be said, and almost everything should not be said. He and I have come to this point today, starting from the grand wedding that year, and ending with the grand wedding he and other women tonight. To be complete, no relationship can be more complete than such a beginning and end.
So, I have reached this point, what else should I say?
What else can I say?
However, looking at Han Zitong's extremely fearful expression, he still grabbed the door frame with force, and even his nails almost pierced into the wooden door. His joints turned white, as if there were thousands of words to rush out at this moment.
Yes, he and I have been a couple for so many years and have experienced so many things together. He has given me a life that so many women in this world yearn for. I once truly thought that such a life could last endlessly... Now, everything is about to end tonight, how can there be nothing to say?
Xiao Yusheng, who was standing beside me, waited for a while, and seemed to feel something. He lowered his voice and said, "Miss, we have to leave quickly!"
“…”
I looked up at him, my eyes unconsciously confused. He said, "If the people inside come out, we really can't leave."
"……oh."
I promised, he grabbed my arm and wanted to turn around and leave, and Han Zitong shouted again unwillingly: "Yan Qingying!"
“…”
"You really didn't want to say a word to him?"
“…”
My steps had already followed Xiao Yusheng, but every step was so heavy, as if filled with lead, tearing my body and soul. I took that heavy step, listened to her sorrowful voice, and finally turned around.
Looking at her, and behind her, Jinling Mansion, which was shining with bright red lights in the night.
What I want to leave is not only a place, a mansion, or a man, but also a life he and me built over the past few years.
What I want to leave is my life.
I watched Han Zitong's constantly flashing eyes in the night, looked at the Jinling Mansion, looked at the place where I had a memory, and said slowly-
"My heart is gone, so what else can I say?"
Han Zitong was suddenly shocked and looked at me with wide eyes.
I looked at her last, and looked at the map next to me who knew the situation was hopeless and could not recover it, as well as the blood-stained corpse, and finally turned around and left without looking back.

In the night, Jinling Mansion was surrounded by a bright red, as if burning flames were constantly burning, accompanied by lively conversations between the guests outside and the bustling music. It should have been a sea of joy.
But this place is cold and quiet.
The bamboo leaves sway in the wind in the night, and the rustling sound made the inner courtyard more and more quiet. All that is left is one person's footsteps, one person's breathing, and one person's heartbeat.
The sound of footsteps slowly walked in along the path in the forest. The closer to the quiet and empty monastery, the heavier the breathing and the heavier the heartbeat.
However, when I walked into this room, my breathing disappeared and my heartbeat disappeared.
I saw the tall and handsome man in red clothes, he had always been graceful and appeared in front of people like a banished immortal. At this moment, he was standing in this empty room like a ghost, facing the coldness of the room. His face and his eyes were almost completely condensed with frost, but the chill was not brought by the late night, but spreading from the bottom of his heart, occupying his entire person bit by bit, and then this room, this quiet inner courtyard.
Everything was frozen.
In such a coldness, he slowly walked to the edge of the bed step by step.
The messy quilt and broken pillows, as if that irreversible relationship was completely broken in one night, into ruins.
But I don’t know what else I can pick up in such a ruin.
He stretched out his trembling hand, as if he wanted to grab something, but his spastic fingers twitched, but he just slowly gathered in the air and clenched into a fist, without grasping anything.
Nothing was caught.
The next moment, he suddenly raised his head, used all his strength to let out a low roar, and the sound was torn apart, like a beast in desperate situation, making his last wail-
"Qing-ying--!"
...
"ah!"
I sat up from the bed in an instant.
My heartbeats like thunder, and even my breathing is completely suffocated, as if I have been strangled by someone's throat. I gasp vigorously, and a burst of pain comes from my chest. I look around with a hint of panic brought from my dream.
This is a strange room, and I am sleeping in a bed.
Then, what I saw just now - it was a dream?
In my dream, I returned to Jinling Mansion, the quiet inner courtyard. I saw Pei Yuanxiu again. He rushed back to the inner courtyard before he even took off his groom's outfit. However, when he hurried back there, he found that I had left, leaving only an empty room, a messy, broken and left for him.
Is it a dream?
Did I dream of an illusory scene? Or did it all happen, and I just saw everything in my dream?
If it was a dream, why did everything look so real? I seemed to have really heard that sad and desperate roar, as if I had devoted all my efforts and hopes to one person.
Even his pain and despair were completely conveyed to my heart!
The roar seemed to be still in my ears, and even echoed in my mind, and it kept ringing like a dull knife, constantly cutting my heart, leaving behind indescribable pain and indescribable torture.

Thinking of this, the pain from my heart became even more severe. I couldn't help but reach out to cover my chest, but I couldn't resist the dull pain that came. Just as I was struggling and suffering, a creaking sound suddenly came from beside me.
When I turned around, I saw that the door was pushed open, and a familiar, slender figure walked in from outside.
There were fine curtains around the bed. I could only see the figure clearly, but I couldn't see who the person was. But the man saw me sitting on the bed at a glance. He shouted in surprise and hurriedly ran over: "Qingying! Qingying, are you awake!?"
This sound is-
I opened my eyes wide, but before I could even open my mouth, the curtain had been lifted, and a familiar face appeared in my sight.
"Light!"
"rue?"
I looked at the young woman standing in front of me in shock. It was indeed Yun Xiang! She was wearing a lotus-colored skirt, her hair was neatly combed, and a simple beaded hairpin was inserted into her bun, which looked clean and elegant.
When she saw it, she suddenly felt that everything was so unreal, as if she was still trapped in a dream, but the familiar face and familiar smile appeared in front of me. Even she reached out to hold my cold hand, and the touch was real: "Yes, it's me, I am Yunxiang!"
I was stunned.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered what happened before in my mind - Han Zitong took me to escape. When I left Jinling Mansion from the back door, I was stopped by Butu and others; Xiao Wuyin suddenly appeared, and he killed people, leaving behind corpses and blood all over the ground; Xiao Yusheng appeared to rescue me... But, when I finally got on the boat and left the territory of Jinling, I was exhausted and fell asleep.
Why did Yunxiang appear in front of me when she woke up now?
What is this place? What about Xiao Yusheng and Xiao Wusheng?
I subconsciously looked around and saw a spacious and simple room in front of me. I lay on a large bed that was quite comfortable, with a soft and dry quilt covering me. Because I got up, the quilt slipped down like running water, revealing my body wearing a thin coat.
This is the end-
Yunxiang looked at me with concern, as if she was relieved, and said, "It's fine if you're fine."
"Yuxiang, where is this place?"
"This is Jixiang Village."
"Jicy Village?"
I opened my eyes wide in surprise: "Is this Jixiang Village? Here--"
"Yes, it was that Young Master Xiao who brought you here."
Young Master Xiao? Xiao Yusheng!
How could he bring me to Jixiang Village?
Could it be—
My mind flashed, and I was so shocked that my whole body almost jumped up. Yunxiang had already continued, "That day, Mr. Xiao saved the third brother. After I separated from you, I watched them escape to a place and followed them. Later, I really met them on a small road. I was afraid that the government officials would come to catch them again, so I hid them in the box where I packed embroidery and left the city, and then took them here."
“…”
"The third brother seems to have suffered a cold while in prison and his health has been in poor health. When he came here, everyone was already ill and awake, so they stayed here and let him take a break for the time being."
My heart sank suddenly.
Is this Jixiang Village? Xiao Yusheng and the others took Liu Qinghan to Jixiang Village. Could it be that this room is—
However, when I looked up, I found that this was not the one I was familiar with before. After all, that home was a few simple houses. Although it was renovated later, it was only cleaner and more solid, and it was not as comfortable as the current room.
Then here is—
Looking at my puzzled eyes, Yunxiang was also very agile and hurriedly said, "This is the yard left by the big family in the village. As soon as they arrived, they rented the place and lived there."
“…”
So that's it.
Although I don’t know much about some things, Yunxiang’s words have basically explained everything that happened these days, and I was relieved. After all, I have left Jinling and left there, and for me, I can finally feel relieved.
