Chapter 363 I Don’t Blame You Anymore
Shi Nie wrote to say that although General Dong and his men had been focusing on defense, they were still forced to retreat from a city. If their master did not return, they would probably be forced to retreat from another city soon.
However, none of this is important. The most important thing is that the emperor, who is far away in the capital, has already known that his master has abandoned his post, and the imperial edict to punish him is probably on the way.
If something goes wrong, not only will his master’s efforts over the past year be wasted, but he will also be severely punished!
Jiang Dichen frowned and said to his subordinates, "No problem."
After Shen Ruolan heard what Yan Mo said, she glanced at Jiang Dichen and saw that although he was fine, his brows were still furrowed. She thought for a moment and said to him, "Jiang Dichen, how about this? You write a letter to Ziyuan and the others and ask grandpa to bring the two children to Nanfeng Village so that you and your son can meet there."
Considering that he had taken care of her these days, Shen Ruolan softened her heart. Jiang Dichen was busy and missed his child, so she came up with this compromise.
It would take at least five days to go from Nanfeng Village into the mountains and back. This could save him a few days. Although it wasn't much, it was her maximum limit.
Because she didn't dare bring the child into the territory of Xia State, she was afraid that Xia Hongmiao was planning some bad tricks for her.
Shen Ruolan's words startled Jiang Dichen. He never dreamed that Shen Ruolan would care about him so much. He smiled at her with relief, "Okay, let's do it."
After saying this, he instructed Yan Mo, "Yan Mo, write to Zi Yuan and the others immediately."
Yan Mo hesitated for a moment, then responded to his master, "Yes, Master."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruolan with a complicated expression and hurriedly went to write the letter.
In fact, he did not agree with his master returning to Beiming. He wanted his master to send Shen Ruolan to a safe area like last time and then leave immediately.
But seeing that his master really wanted a child, he couldn't say anything to object.
At night, Jiang Dichen was in a particularly good mood because Shen Ruolan took the initiative to send the child out. He found a comfortable position, held Shen Ruolan to his side, and let her lie in his arms to rest.
In fact, before he was injured, Shen Ruolan had been lying in his arms to rest. After he was injured, Shen Ruolan slept on the floor.
Shen Ruolan refused: "No, I'll just lie on the ground."
"Don't be stubborn. You're not as strong as me. You'll get sick if you lie on the ground for too long." Jiang Dichen said as he forced Shen Ruolan into his arms.
Shen Ruolan struggled to get up and said, "I can handle it..."
Shen Ruolan stopped talking halfway, because when she stood up, she accidentally pressed down on him...
Seeing Jiang Dichen's painful expression, she quickly let go and stood up, blushing and apologizing to him: "Jiang Dichen, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
After Jiang Dichen waited for the pain to pass, he looked at the blushing little woman and said helplessly, "It's okay."
After he finished speaking, his eyebrows suddenly moved, and he whispered in Shen Ruolan's ear with an ambiguous look on his face: "Actually, even if Ruolan did it on purpose, I won't be angry."
The breath of Jiang Dichen's words sprayed on Shen Ruolan's ears and neck, making her feel itchy. His ambiguous words made her suddenly feel numb, and then goose bumps appeared all over her body. She pushed him away fiercely and yelled at him in a low voice: "Jiang Dichen, you are being a hooligan."
After saying this, she moved aside with great effort, not wanting to be so close to Jiang Dichen.
Jiang Dichen saw that the woman was angry, so he quickly hugged her and coaxed her softly, "Ruolan, I was just joking, please don't be angry, okay?"
He paused and continued, "There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants at night. If you are too far away from me, I won't be able to find you in time. It will be bad if you get bitten."
Jiang Dichen's words "snake, insect, rat, ant" made the struggling Shen Ruolan stop instantly. Under normal circumstances, she never doubted his words.
Because during the days at the bottom of the cliff, whether it was day or night, they encountered too many snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Especially at night, the snakes would come and go, almost forming a swarm.
Thinking of the limp snake, Shen Ruolan finally gave up and had to sit next to Jiang Dichen.
Jiang Dichen saw that Shen Ruolan had taken his words to heart. He gently stroked her messy hair and said softly, "Ruolan, if you are tired, just lie in my arms and sleep peacefully."
After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "Don't worry, I won't cross the line without your permission."
Although he missed her very much, he would not go against her wishes without her permission.
He was willing to wait until the day when she was willing to give herself to him.
Jiang Dichen's gentleness and commitment at this time made Shen Ruolan feel extremely complicated, but she hated herself more for being incompetent. If she hadn't been deeply traumatized by the soft snake, she wouldn't have been easily frightened by Jiang Dichen's words.
After she was silent in his arms for a long time, she asked him with a sullen face: "Jiang Dichen, tell me, am I too much? I clearly don't have you in my heart, but I can't leave you, do I deserve to die?"
Before she fell off the cliff, no matter how she treated Jiang Dichen, she had no burden in her heart, but now...
The more Shen Ruolan thought about it, the more upset she felt, and the more she felt she had lost out by asking Xia Hongmiao for compensation.
This culprit who has put her in such a dilemma should be chopped into pieces.
Shen Ruolan's words "I don't have you in my heart" made Jiang Dichen's heart feel like being stabbed by a needle, and it hurt badly, but he still comforted Shen Ruolan in a gentle voice: "Ruolan, this is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me for being ignorant and hurting you deeply. Don't feel any burden in your heart. Just think of it as me atonement for the past, okay?"
Shen Ruolan actually wanted to tell him that what he had done for her had already offset the beatings she had received, and she no longer blamed him.
It was her experiences in her previous life that made her no longer believe in marriage. It was really difficult for her to have any other friendship with the opposite sex except family affection.
But she just thought about it in her heart and didn't dare to say it to him. She said to him silently: "Jiang Dichen, you are not guilty and you don't need to atone for any sins to me. There are many things that happened because of my personal reasons and have nothing to do with others."
Jiang Dichen listened to Shen Ruolan's words. He paused for a moment, then suddenly stared at her fiercely and asked excitedly, "Ruolan, so you have forgiven my past, right?"
Shen Ruolan didn't know why Jiang Dichen was so excited, but she still nodded to him honestly and said, "I don't blame you anymore."
It is said that when a couple faces a disaster, they will run away separately. But not only did he not fly away, he also put aside his proud and noble attitude and took care of her eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
To be honest, for everything he did for her, she might not be able to do it, not to mention that they were not even husband and wife.
Therefore, she no longer had any reason to blame him.
