บท 1525: Forced Marriage (3)

Meng Suyan shook her head. "The moment I came back to town, I knew immediately that he was married and that he is leading a comfortable life. I was disappointed, so I refused to see him at first, but I felt sorry for the time lost while he waited for me. I only wanted to get a glance of him. Instead, I found the memorial tablet in his residence. He was babbling on and on, asking me to bless his children with a successful future."

Gu Xijiu did not know what to answer.

Meng Suyan continued, "I felt that my love had always been a mistake. When I was ready to leave, the side chamber of his residence caught fire. His youngest son was in there, crying hysterically. The blaze was too intense, so no one dared to go in and save the child. I could not bear seeing the child being burned alive, so I went in and saved him. My identity was uncovered. That was when he saw me and called out my name."
