Ma Tianjin stared in disbelief, his eyes wide open. He didn't love Liu Xiaoyuan; was he just angry with her?
Her heart was filled with confusion and shock.
Ma Tianjin calmed down, furrowing his brows as he thought for a long time. "If Xiaoyuan decides to marry you, I have no objections."
She sniffed, not understanding why her nose felt uncomfortable and her throat was sore. But if Xiaoyuan found a good place to settle down, wouldn't her guilt lessen?
After she spoke, it seemed she was afraid to hear their decision. She quickly turned and hurried away, her figure disappearing from sight.
Had she really so easily given him up to another woman?
Liu Xiaoyuan had sipped some ginger soup and was already feeling better. She gently set the bowl down. "Can you not blame her? She just has a habit of taking burdens upon herself."
She and Ma Tianjin were actually twin siblings. The real Ma Tianjin had died unexpectedly shortly after marrying Liu Xiaoyuan, and the source of that accident was her.
Their mother, as a concubine, forced her to impersonate Ma Tianjin to maintain their status and participate in the imperial examination...
They left the indifferent Ma Family together and never wanted to return.
Her guilt was directed at Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "She once promised to protect me for a lifetime. At that time, I thought she was joking."
She didn't expect her to be serious.
Huo Zhenyan sighed softly, taking a deep breath. Falling for a stubborn girl was truly troublesome.
Liu Xiaoyuan, unable to bear seeing him so dejected, quickly said, "But I think she must like you." Otherwise, with Ma Tianjin's personality, she would definitely have dealt with him by now.
Huo Zhenyan couldn't feel happy at all. What good was liking someone if she wouldn't admit it or marry him? It was all in vain. His brows were tightly knitted, his face full of helplessness.
Ahead, the Yard Officer rushed over, his steps hurried and voice urgent. "Master Huo, there are people from the capital looking for you."
The timid Ma Tianjin had been wandering the streets all day and only returned slowly in the evening. As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan saw her, he anxiously exclaimed, "Yanyan, Huo Zhenyan has been arrested!"
"What?" Ma Tianjin was startled, her body jolting. "What happened?"
"The people from the capital say Huo Zhenyan has been buying and selling official positions and committing many crimes in the countryside. They want to take him back to the capital for trial!"
Ma Tianjin panicked, her eyes filled with fear. "Which person from the capital? Where is Huo Zhenyan?" How could such a thing happen just after she stepped out for a moment?
"It's the General," Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at her and said slowly. "Huo Zhenyan is currently in jail."
Ma Tianjin paced back and forth anxiously in the room. "Who is that bastard spreading rumors?"
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at her and replied, "It's you."
Ma Tianjin shook her head vigorously, her mind spinning like a top. "I would never do that!"
Liu Xiaoyuan asked, "Have you ever sent a letter to the capital?"
"Uh..." She had only vented her feelings in the letter; she never intended to harm Huo Zhenyan! Unable to sit still any longer, Ma Tianjin suddenly stood up. "No, I have to go save him!"
Liu Xiaoyuan quickly grabbed her, holding her arms tightly. "Don't break the law; it's not worth it!"
"But what if he dies? What will you do then?"
Ma Tianjin's mind was a jumble. She remembered that Huo Zhenyan had said he wanted to marry Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan waved her hand dismissively. "Yanyan, I'm marrying your brother; I'm part of the Ma Family now."
But what about her?
She liked him.
Even though she had so many concerns and knew she couldn't marry him, she still liked him. Otherwise, only a fool would let him take advantage of her feelings.
"Yanyan," Liu Xiaoyuan called out to her, "why are you crying?"
