Chapter 309: In Their Previous Life, They...

The nanny smiled and nodded: "Someone else has already been sent to the palace. At this moment, Lord Xie should have finished trying on the attire."

After saying this, several people helped her take off the wedding dress. Before leaving, the nanny handed Chunya two diagrams: "These are the steps for putting on and taking off the wedding dress, drawn by the seamstresses."

Chunya quickly nodded and accepted them, even though she had already memorized everything; having the diagrams was still better.

After sending everyone away, Su Youyue's mind was filled with curiosity about what Xie Yuan would look like in his wedding attire. She desperately wanted to see it because she couldn't imagine it at all.

In his previous life, he had never married.

According to the customs of their dynasty, an engaged couple could not meet seven days before their wedding. Actually, she could go to Xie Mansion to take a look, but today there were guests at Su Mansion, so it wasn't convenient for her to go.

At Xie Mansion, Xie Yuan, who had just changed out of his wedding attire, looked at Zhe Jing: "Where is he? Bring him over."

Zhe Jing responded promptly and soon brought a four-year-old boy into the room.

The moment the boy entered the room and saw Xie Yuan, he trembled in fear, but a hint of hatred flashed deep in his eyes. However, since his fear outweighed his hatred, the hatred was not obvious.

Seeing Lu Wen react so fearfully towards Xie Yuan, Zhe Jing felt a slight strangeness, as the boy hadn't been this scared when he was captured earlier.

Xie Yuan's expression remained calm, making it impossible to discern his emotions. As he approached Lu Wen, the boy seemed to reach the peak of his fear, struggling desperately in Zhe Jing's grasp, trying to escape.

"Tell me, why did you go to Zao Erzhuang to find Miss Su?" Xie Yuan asked, his gaze fixed on the boy as he unconsciously played with a warm jade pendant.

Lu Wen swallowed hard, about to shake his head, but Xie Yuan added: "Zhe Jing, bring the torture tools."

Zhe Jing knew that the child couldn't escape in front of Lord Xie, so he promptly left the room.

Lu Wen's pupils constricted in terror, trying to back away, but the door had already been closed by Zhe Jing.

"Don't, don't kill me!" Seeing no way out, Lu Wen gasped.

After he spoke, the man didn't respond immediately, his gaze becoming even more intense.

Xie Yuan remained silent for a moment, observing the boy in front of him. The child didn't seem like a typical child of his age. His eyes, tone, and words were those of a young adolescent who had grown somewhat but was still immature.

The longer he remained silent, the more terrified Lu Wen became.

The man's silence was like the quiet moment before an arrow is released, possibly leading to a swift and deadly strike.

Seeing that the man remained silent, Lu Wen stammered: "I didn't go to find Miss Su. I just... don't!"

Before he could finish, Xie Yuan lifted him up.

"I have no patience for your lies."

His voice was icy.

"I'll give you one last chance. What did you say to Miss Su?"

"If you don't speak, you won't need to speak again."

With that, the man suddenly let go, causing Lu Wen to fall heavily to the ground.

Filled with fear, Lu Wen realized that Xie Yuan meant every word!

So if he didn't answer, he really wouldn't need to answer anymore...

Living another life, would he still die at the hands of Xie Yuan?

Lu Wen, remembering something terrifying, crawled backward on the floor, distancing himself from Xie Yuan, his eyes filled with dread.

No, he'd rather die at the hands of Su Youyue than Xie Yuan!

After catching his breath, he stuttered: "I went to tell her that she... she was supposed to be the Princess Consort of Rong..."

Hearing this, Xie Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes turned cold.

"It seems you think I have the patience to listen to your lies."

Lu Wen clutched the ground, shaking his head frantically: "I'm not lying. Su Qian was supposed to be the Princess Consort of Rong in the previous life. This life, everything has been changed by Su Youyue. I wanted Su Qian to continue fighting her, so I told her."

Seeing Xie Yuan's inscrutable expression, Lu Wen hastily raised three fingers and swore: "Everything I said is true. It's a rebirth, living another life. Both Su Youyue and I have been reborn. In the previous life, she married my father. My father and mother went to the border, returning only ten years later. And you, you were supposed to help the deposed crown prince regain power and control the realm, eventually reaching the highest position..."

After finishing, he cautiously observed Xie Yuan's reaction, wondering if he still harbored any murderous intent.

The man had stopped playing with the jade pendant. Seeing Lu Wen pause, he asked: "What was our relationship in the previous life?"

Lu Wen's mind raced, and he quickly shook his head: "No relationship..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yuan stepped forward, bent down, and grabbed his neck: "Still lying."

Lu Wen couldn't understand how Xie Yuan knew he was lying, but the man's hand felt like an iron ring around his throat, making him panic: "I... I got it wrong. There was a relationship, there was a relationship..."

Faced with Xie Yuan, Lu Wen dared not lie anymore and recounted everything from the previous life, omitting many details, such as Su Youyue's situation in the Lu family.

After finishing, Lu Wen feared Xie Yuan still doubted him and hurriedly said: "That's why, as soon as I was reborn, I wanted to snatch her business. That's why our Lu family bought those shops. Do you believe me now?"

Seeing Xie Yuan remain silent again, Lu Wen's mind began to race. Both Su Youyue and Xie Yuan were enemies of the Lu family!

In both lives, they had caused great harm to the Lu family, yet here they were, openly together and granted an imperial marriage!

Just thinking about it filled him with hatred.

Driven by his thoughts, he emphasized: "Everything I said is true. Su Youyue married my father in the previous life. Later, by some twist of fate, she ended up with you, but she truly despised you then and even argued with you privately.

I don't know why, but the last time you met her, you directly sent her away halfway, and she came back pushing her wheelchair."

After finishing his words, Lu Wen looked at Xie Yuan with a sinister gaze. What he said was no longer a lie, but he had simply omitted some details.

Hearing this, Xie Yuan would understand that both in the past life and this life, the Lu family had no grudge against him! He might even let him go...

He was still young; if he could escape this time, grow up properly, there would surely be another chance for revenge!

Just as Lu Wen finished thinking this, Xie Yuan's next question suddenly made his entire body stiffen.

Xie Yuan abruptly lifted his deep and icy eyes, tightening his grip on Lu Wen's throat: "In the previous life, did you kill her?"
