她把指认变成了一次救命

Qingyi brought Steward Li into the Murong home.

This old man had seen Ren Susu three years ago.

Qingyi no longer wanted to ask who Mulan really was. He wanted the witness to identify her in public.

Bringing the Huo family's former steward here will cause a scene.

I need Mulan to understand that this time, guessing is not enough.

If she really is Susu, are you going to seize her in front of the guests?

I do not want to hear her say again that I have the wrong person.

And what if she is not?

I will personally take her back to the Fang home and never call her by that name again.

Could you bear to do that?

That is why there must be an answer tonight.

Steward Li is outside. Come out with me and let him see you clearly.

You went to all this trouble just to hear someone else tell you who I am?

Because you refuse to say.

I have said it before. I am Fang Mulan.

Then why are you afraid to see him?

I am not afraid. I only want to see you clearly first.

See what about me?

You grabbed me three years ago. Would you still dare now?

Do not step backward.

You have already answered.

Mulan tipped backward and fell into the water.

Qingyi reached for her. Even when his hand was bleeding, he still pulled her up.

You gambled with your life?

I only wanted to know whether you hated me enough to let me die.

You remember that hand, and you remember that train.

Remembering is one thing. My name is another.

For me, that is already enough.

Then stop asking other people to believe for you.

The next day, the Murong family held a meeting in the ancestral hall.

Huo Minxian suddenly forced her way inside with several people.

She already knew Steward Li had reached Nancheng and believed he was connected to her father's death.

Qingyi, you brought Steward Li here from Feng'an. Whom did you want him to identify?

You broke into the ancestral hall just to question my guest?

He worked for the Huo family and knows about my father. Hiding him proves you have a guilty conscience.

This is the Murong family's ancestral hall. Explain yourself first.

Is it not clear? You are shielding a killer. Hand him over, or come with me.

He will not go with you.

You really think you are the mistress of this house now?

I am Qingyu's fiancee. You are an outsider. What right do you have to speak here?

You are stopping me for Qingyi. Are you not afraid people will understand your relationship?

Mind your own words first.

You dare hit me?

You insulted him in front of his father. Why would I not dare?

Steward Li can prove he is lying! Call him in!

Go ahead.

No one outside answered.

Steward Li was gone.

Huo Minxian had no evidence, and the Murong family would no longer let her make a scene.

You just saved me once.

Do not flatter yourself. I only did not want her to take you away.

Is there a difference?

Yes. Saving you meant I did not want you dead. Keeping you means I still have a score to settle with you.

So I have to listen to you?

Did you not also keep Steward Li in your hands to force me to admit who I am?

I do not need him to admit it now. You remember the past.

That only proves I remember what happened before. It does not explain why I came back.

Then why did you shield me from Huo Minxian?

We must settle the score from three years ago ourselves. Outsiders should stay out of it.

And after we settle it?

First work out whether you hate me or cannot bear to let me go.

You still have not admitted it.

But do you not already believe me?
