The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 570 Kind-hearted

After Chen Er finished speaking, he left with Situ Minyue and the others, leaving Zhang Xingchen lying on the ground alone, spitting blood like a dead dog.

After returning home, Chen Er sat in his study, pondering what to do next. Now that Zhang Shaoqing was dead, Chen Er was determined to seek justice for him. However, Ma Dazhi rushed in in a great hurry.

"Chen Er, something terrible has happened! Situ Minyue just hanged herself. If it weren't for Madam Qin Luoshen finding her early, Situ Minyue would probably be dead already." Ma Dazhi's words stunned Chen Er, who thought he was hallucinating.

"What did you say? Situ Minyue committed suicide. Why is that girl so stupid?" Chen Er ran out after saying that. In Qin Luoshen's room, Qin Luoshen kicked Situ Minyue and stroked her soft hair.

"Situ Minyue, tell me what's wrong that's making you so depressed. I know your father's death was a huge blow to you, but you don't need to torture yourself like this." Qin Luoshen's words made Situ Minyue smile.

"Mrs. Qin Luoshen, I'm so sorry. Actually, I've liked Chen Er for a long time, and I hoped I could keep liking him. But just yesterday, I was humiliated by Zhang Xingchen, and I no longer have the right to like Chen Er."

Qin Luoshen spoke earnestly, her voice already trembling. She gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"Silly girl, I've known what you're thinking for a long time. Everyone has the right to like someone. If you're willing, you can be Chen Er's concubine. I would never mind."

Although Qin Luoshen felt a little pain in her heart when she said this, she was a kind-hearted woman and wanted to prevent Situ Minyue from continuing to seek death.

There was no other way but to resort to this tactic. However, Situ Minyue shook her head and denied it: "I am not worthy at all. I hope you two can grow old together." Chen Er originally wanted to push the door open and go in, but standing at the door, Chen Er heard the two girls talking.

Chen Er knew that it was not appropriate for him to go in now, so he returned to the study once again.

Chen Er's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know how to deal with Situ Minyue. The next day, Ma Dazhi frantically knocked on Chen Er's door.

"Boss, something bad has happened! Situ Minyue has left you a letter. What should we do?"

Chen Er originally wanted to be a little more intimate with Qin Luoshen, but when he heard that Situ Minyue had left, he immediately got up. By the time Chen Er saw the letter, Situ Minyue had already disappeared.

“Brother Chen Er, by the time you read this letter, I will have already left. Please don’t come looking for me again. I have a knot in my heart. I want to become a nun and never have anything to do with this mortal world again.”

Chen Er's eyes welled up with tears when he saw the letter.

“Situ Minyue, why are you so foolish? You could have stayed by my side, and we would have treated you like family.” Qin Luoshen’s eyes were also slightly red.

"Chen Er, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and go find Situ Minyue, bring this girl back, get married now, give Situ Minyue a warm home, and this girl won't abandon you."

Qin Luoshen's words almost made Chen Er vomit blood.

"Qin Luoshen, I know you mean well, but do you feel better saying this?"

I know what you're really thinking. You just don't want me to have any regrets, but I don't want you to have any regrets either, if I really have to do this.

"I reckon neither you nor Situ Minyue will be happy from now on." Chen Er spoke from the heart.

Right now, it's just that Situ Minyue is unhappy and wants to see through the illusions of the world to become a nun. If Chen Er really forces Situ Minyue back and the two of them get married...

Perhaps Qin Luoshen won't be happy either, and then all three of them will be unhappy, which is not the result Chen Er wants.

However, Chen Er knew that Situ Minyue's departure was probably to attend his father's funeral. But what Chen Er did not expect was that Situ Minyue did not appear on the day of Zhang Shaoqing's funeral, and all the civil and military officials of the court came.

When they came to see Zhang Shaoqing off on his final journey, only Zhang Xingchen and Wei Zhongxian were absent; even the Empress Dowager did not come.

The emperor was furious about this. Chen Er also knew that this was probably all planned by these people, just to give the emperor a warning. Time passed quickly, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

Many people are spreading rumors that Situ Minyue has become a nun, and that she has fallen in love with Chen Er, and has given her virginity to him.

When Chen Er received this news, he understood that it was all Zhang Xingchen who had spread the message, in order to deliver a fatal blow to Qin Luoshen.

Chen Er knew he had to be honest with Qin Luoshen and accept the consequences of his refusal, otherwise things would get very bad given Qin Luoshen's temper.

So Chen Er wanted to go find Qin Luoshen to explain the matter, but Qin Luoshen came to him on her own initiative, and Chen Er gave an awkward smile.

"Qin Luoshen, actually, there's something I've always wanted to tell you about Situ Minyue, but I didn't know where to begin." Chen Er's awkward expression made Qin Luoshen chuckle.

"Chen Er, I understand your feelings, and you can say that you don't like Situ Minyue, but that's all in the past. Let's not bring it up again, okay?"

Qin Luoshen's generosity deeply moved Chen Er, but Chen Er felt tired. Suddenly, Chen Er thought of the deceased Zhang Shaoqing.

Chen Er imagined Zhang Shaoqing being riddled with arrows, yet he was powerless to do anything about it. Just because the Empress Dowager said that Zhang Shaoqing had illicit relations with other factions, she threw Zhang Shaoqing into the Underworld Prison.

This is the outcome Chen Er least wanted to see, and it is also the cruel reality he finds most unacceptable.

"Qin Luoshen, I've been very conflicted lately. I feel like this isn't the life I want. I want to get away from this court and find a peaceful place to live a good life with you. What do you say?"

Chen Er's words startled Qin Luoshen, but although she appeared calm on the surface, she was secretly overjoyed.

Qin Luoshen felt the same way. Every time Chen Er went to court in the morning, Qin Luoshen was always on tenterhooks at home, afraid that Chen Er would never return. Qin Luoshen hated this kind of life very much.

Qin Luoshen wanted to bring up this matter with Chen Er, but she could always see the spirit in Chen Er's eyes.
