When he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks and turned around. “I can do as you ask, but no one in the Duan family can hurt Ya'er again. Everyone must respect her.”

“Don't worry. This woman didn't deserve to be your wife, but she can be your concubine. You just have to obey me, and I'll never hurt her again.”

“Good.”

Duan Qiong's voice was cold and emotionless as he stepped out of the room and gradually disappeared in front of Old Master Duan.

Old Master Duan looked at Duan Qiong's departing figure and sighed lightly. “Qiong'er, you will definitely understand that it's for your good. Lianyi is now with Tian Ya, and he treats her like his granddaughter. So… If you get into trouble in the future because of that mute, you will still need Lianyi to save you…

“That woman will only harm you. The only one who can really help you is Tian'er. You'll understand later!”

Even that woman's daughter was a scourge that would only bring endless harm to the Duan family in the future!

The only people who can help him were Tian'er and her daughter.

As night fell…

She still felt discomfort in her chest and her throat. Her body was weak.

However, what made her feel odd was that Duan Qiong would usually come and accompany her every night, but tonight… He did not go to her.

The servant who stayed with her seemed to have sensed Xiao Ya's thoughts and sneered. “You don't have to wait for Young Master. Young Master has already gone to Second Lady… Ops! No, he has gone to Lady Tian's room, and he won't come over tonight. Actually, Young Master and Lady Tian love each other. Young Master only pities you! It's only been a few months with you, but he has already missed his wife. Of course, he will go to her tonight.”

Xiao Ya was surprised. She turned her head and stared at the moon outside the window.

The dim moonlight lit up her disfigured face.

‘It turns out that…

‘He's lying to me again!'

He lied to her about the herbal soup and did not tell her that that old man gave it.

Now… He had lied to her again.

When he got her back, he said that he would only accompany her alone in this life and would not do anything to hurt her again.

However… He had hurt her again.

Of course… If he was loyal to her, how could he have had a daughter with someone else back then?

He said he was framed back then, but… When she came back this time, there was another young master in the Duan family…

Xiao Ya sneered.

‘Men are all liars!'

Obviously, she had already wanted to escape from the Duan family, but he stopped her… And hurt her heart again…

This would be the last time he broke her heart!

Xiao Ya turned her head expressionlessly.

The servant did not expect Xiao Ya to be so calm after hearing this. It was said that back then, she would not even let other women come close to Young Master. When she heard that Young Master had slept with Lady Tian, she was even angrier and immediately left the Duan family.

‘But, why does she look so calm now?'

Duan Qiong only returned the next day. There were a few people sent by Master Duan to guard him outside the door, and he could not get out of that room even after he had settled his task.

As he reached in front of Xiao Ya's room, he was actually a little wimpy, not knowing how to face her…
