696 The Lord Who Protects Her Own (VI)

"I've heard from Zi Shi that Hanmei and the county military chief's troops were embroiled in a conflict. I believe it started because your soldier mistook Hanmei for Xie Qian?"

He felt abashed as he confessed, vaguely stating the reason behind it all.

She said bluntly, "However your junior heard from my father that Aunty Xie died from hemorrhage during childbirth."

Yang Jian replied sternly, "How can a junior like you be familiar with the previous generations' gratitude and disputes?"

Neither did he believe that Xie Qian was such a person. How could he seek glory at the expense of selling out his wife?

When Wang Huiyun had entered the former emperor's harem, Xie Qian had been dead for one year, his body decomposed until only his bones were left.

A widow who remarried, who could stop her?

How could Xie Qian, who had already been dead for one year, reappear to force his wife on the emperor?

Wasn't that ridiculous?
