The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 89: Don’t Hate the Wrong Person

Ji Mingzhu seemed nailed to the spot, unable to move.

Blood rushed backward, a buzzing sound echoed in her mind.

She dared not look, instinctively closing her eyes, as if by doing so, the horrific scene would disappear.

Screams and shouts erupted simultaneously.

Not allowing her to escape.

The glaring red color forced its way into Ji Mingzhu’s eyes, leaving a deep imprint in her mind.

For the rest of her life, perhaps she would never forget this scene.

She stepped lightly, walking to the person’s side.

Gently called out, "Chang An?"

The person, endlessly coughing up blood, turned his head, eyes full of reluctance and regret.

Ji Mingzhu knelt on the ground, using a handkerchief to wipe Yuan Changan’s blood, but she could not clean it.

Warm liquid fell onto her face, while Yuan Changan could only feel the pain in his chest.

He opened his mouth, struggling to utter three words, "I’m sorry."

He shouldn’t have met Ruan Mian alone, breaking the promise between him and Mingzhu.

And it seemed he couldn’t grow old together with Mingzhu.

Ji Mingzhu shook her head, "Hold on a bit longer, the doctor will be here soon."

She said the latter half very softly.

Just because the person looking at her already lost the sparkle in their eye.

A brave soul checked Yuan Changan’s breathing, shaking his head.

Regretfully said, "Miss Ji, my condolences."

"Brother Chang An!"

Ruan Mian rushed down while her hair was in disarray, looking miserable.

She cried loudly on Yuan Changan’s body, "I didn’t mean to, I just wanted to be with you."

"It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have been greedy, shouldn’t have drugged you."

"Brother Chang An, wake up!"

"You can hit me, scold me. I truly know I was wrong!"

Ruan Mian cried in despair, moving everyone present.

Some even said that she and Yuan Changan were tragic lovers toyed by fate.

"If Miss Ruan had a clean background, she would certainly have had a beautiful story with Young Master Yuan."

"Young Master Yuan kept himself pure, but risked everything for Miss Ruan, isn’t that proof enough?"

"They truly loved each other, but society wouldn’t allow them to be together."

Ji Mingzhu’s mind was foggy, but she listened to Ruan Mian’s words.

"Drugged?"

She forcefully pulled Ruan Mian’s hair, making her leave Yuan Changan’s body.

Ji Mingzhu’s face was full of tears, yet expressionless.

"Explain clearly!"

Ruan Mian looked at Ji Mingzhu in a daze, still having the mind to ask about others at such a time.

She didn’t truly love Brother Chang An.

Nor did she deserve Brother Chang An’s love!

Ruan Mian both cried and laughed, "Ji Mingzhu, you’re a jinx. If you hadn’t come to Yangzhou, Brother Chang An wouldn’t have had any accidents, you’re the one who killed him."

"Du Peifang was brought by you, you are the culprit, I wish you would never find peace in your life and eternally live in guilt!"

Scanning Yuan Changan’s face, Ruan Mian revealed a smile.

"This time, I reached you first. With no past behind, will you look at me?"

"Brother Chang An, I am here to join you."

Amidst the crowd’s cries, Ruan Mian fiercely thrust the golden hairpin into her neck.

Her body limp collapsed, laying atop Yuan Changan.

With the last of her strength, Ruan Mian held his hand.

She atoned with her death, would Brother Chang An forgive her?

Witnessing another life vanish before her eyes, Ji Mingzhu’s heart beat erratically.

She didn’t know what she should do; her mind was blank.

"Miss, don’t be afraid."

Noticing her trembling body, Gold embraced her, not letting her see the bloody scene.

Divine Healer once said, Miss should not be stimulated.

Like grabbing onto a lifeline, Ji Mingzhu tightly held onto Gold’s hand.

Choking, "Maybe... it truly was my fault."

"No, it’s not your fault. It’s Ruan Mian who drugged Young Master Yuan, causing him to fall. We all heard very clearly."

"She committed suicide out of fear of her crimes, not for love."

"Miss, don’t get misled by her, Ruan Mian is the murderer!"

The discussions among the crowd woke everyone up.

"How can they be tragic lovers? She’s clearly a treacherous viper!"

"Stuck deep in a quagmire, unable to reach the virtue of Young Master Yuan, she employed dirty tricks to drag him down with her, truly wicked!"

"Earlier there was a conflict upstairs, it must have been Young Master Yuan realizing something was wrong and wanting to leave, accidentally falling in the process."

"I bet Ruan Mian, out of shame, pushed him down. Otherwise, why rush to die unless fearing capture by authorities, undergoing severe interrogation?"

Yuan Changan’s servant rushed over, still holding an osmanthus cake.

The osmanthus cakes scattered on the ground, trampled by the crowd.

Became filthy and broken.

Finally kicked to an uninhabited corner.

The Yuan Family also arrived.

Unable to believe this was real.

Lady Yuan almost fainted several times, but the person in trouble was her own son, she couldn’t even escape.

She asked Ji Mingzhu, "When Chang An left, he was perfectly fine, saying he was preparing gifts to take to the capital, how could something happen so suddenly?"

The pain of losing a child robbed Lady Yuan of her former kindness.

Her gaze at Ji Mingzhu was filled with resentment and regret.

If she hadn’t insisted on this marriage, would Chang An have lived a good life?

Ji Mingzhu shook her head, "I don’t know."

When he left, he didn’t tell her anything.

It was she who had people investigate Du Peifang, finding out about Ruan Mian.

And Ruan Mian didn’t hide or avoid the appointment, which is why she received the message first.

Murmurs reached her ears, and from what she heard on the way, Lady Yuan already had her answer.

Inside, two voices pulled at her.

One said, Chang An wasn’t a child; everything was his own decision, no one else to blame.

The other said, if Ji Mingzhu hadn’t come to Yangzhou, hadn’t been engaged to Chang An, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.

Head splitting with pain, wishing she could just follow her son right then.

Lady Yuan, with tears streaming, "Because of you he met misfortune, how can you not know?"

Gold shielded Ji Mingzhu, such a big accusation, how can Miss survive?

Urgently said, "It was Ruan Mian who drugged Young Master Yuan, Madam, you’re blaming the wrong person."

Experiencing such an event, Gold was also very sad.

After all, Young Master Yuan was a good person, and Miss earnestly wished to spend her life with him.

But the legs were on Young Master Yuan, it was he who wanted to meet Ruan Mian, and he who nurtured Ruan Mian’s greed, brewing the tragedy.

How can all the blame be pushed onto Miss?

This is unreasonable.

Ji Mingzhu’s pallor was ghastly, understanding Lady Yuan’s feelings.

She held Gold’s hand, stopping her from talking.

Seeing her submissive manner, Lady Yuan broke down.

She wished Ji Mingzhu was as articulate as before, so she could justifiably scold Ji Mingzhu.

Even slap her twice, venting the pain of losing a child.

Seeing Ji Mingzhu’s empty eyes, Lady Yuan was even more desperate.

They all lost Chang An...

Her trembling fingers pointed at Ruan Mian, "Throw her into the mass grave, feed the wild dogs, don’t defile Chang An’s path of reincarnation!"
