Ning Shu looked at the water stains on his face and slowly said, "How can you be a fool? You are their most important light.
Miss Bella came to the capital with a vicious aura and walked into the Prime Minister's residence. She treated everyone as an enemy and was full of fear and vigilance towards everything around her. If she didn't meet you and Eldest Young Master, she might have forever been a hedgehog with only hatred in her heart, curling up her body and dealing with the outside world with thorns all over her body. She might have only been able to secretly hide in a corner and cry, unable to learn how to smile. However, you took the initiative to walk over and hold her hand. No matter how cold she was, you didn't give up on her or ignore her. You're the most important person in her life who didn't turn bad because of hatred. Instead, you're the one who's most important to her.
As for Eldest Young Master, in the end, he didn't hesitate to commit murder himself. Not only did he want to protect Miss Bella, he also wanted to protect you who fell into the trap. As you said, all these years, he was the one who gave you advice from the side. In his heart, he really dotes on you like a younger brother.
As for your father, he went through so many things. He painfully lost his only daughter and had to bring her back to the Prime Minister's residence in fear, raising her in the name of his niece. However, Miss Bella has always been hostile towards him. No one can understand the bitterness he felt. You took the initiative to care for Bella and dispel her vicious aura. This is the greatest comfort to your father, so he was so happy on your birthday.
Admittedly, they have been acting all these years, but it is precisely because they care about you and are afraid that you will find out, that they put in so much effort to maintain the peace and harmony between the family. "
Tan Siwei raised his eyes and hesitantly said, "Is that really the case? You are just comforting me. "
Ning Shu nodded affirmatively. "I promise you that if I am lying, you can break off your relationship with me. As for your father's resignation, he didn't abandon you. It's just that he was overwhelmed by grief and regret. He fell into a deep self-abandonment, unable to face the world, and even more unable to face you. He is unable to face Bella, Eldest Young Master, and Xue Hongyi's memorial tablets. If he doesn't leave, he won't be able to get through this. "
"Is that so …" Tan Siwei's lips trembled.
Ning Shu said firmly, "Yes."
Tan Siwei raised his head and looked at the clear and bright moon in the transparent blue screen. Unknowingly, something gloomy seemed to slowly dissipate. He let out a long sigh and finally showed his usual gentle and calm smile. "I hope it is as you said."
A moment later, he turned around and said, "By the way, there's something I haven't had the chance to tell you. I think it might be something very important to you. "
"What happened?"
"That day, I said that Heir Xiahou was injured by my personal servant. Actually, that's not the case. The truth of that day was that I had seen through Bella's secret, but I was afraid that you would find out, so I secretly investigated and found the straw hut where Xue Hongyi had once lived. It was also the straw hut that my father often went to mourn alone. There, I met a black-clothed person with unknown identity. She knew everything about Bella and used it to threaten me. She wanted me to help her deal with you, otherwise, she would expose Bella and make her die without a burial place. At that time, I didn't agree, but coincidentally, you just happened to come out from there. Thus, a series of events happened. "
After learning the unexpected secret, Ning Shu's expression immediately became serious. "Did Shaoqing notice the black-clothed person's gender and characteristics?"
Tan Siwei nodded. "Such a person suddenly appeared. At that time, I was very vigilant, so I paid special attention. It was a woman. Judging from her voice and the way she spoke, she was around thirty years old or older. Although she deliberately wore a black mask to hide her identity, her words and actions couldn't hide her body shape. For example, her threatening and persuasive words, her back was very straight when she walked, and her chin was naturally raised when she spoke. All of these showed that her identity was very unusual. Especially one detail — when she walked, her hands would be clasped in front of her abdomen. Every step she took was measured with a ruler. Compared to ordinary madams and misses, she was several times more restrained. I suspect that she is very likely from the palace. "
