Chapter 3789 Past Events

"……yes."

"Did I know you before I entered the palace?"

"Yes." Thinking of the time when he met her when he was young, Jin Lan couldn't help but have a gentle smile on his lips.

Hong Luan looked at him blankly: "What kind of situation is that?"

Jin Lan smiled, very tenderly.

"You were still very young at that time. Of course, I was young too. The first time I saw you was in a passing carriage." Jin Lan smiled, "I was attracted to you at just one glance. I tried my best to inquire about you, and thought about asking my family to go to your house to propose marriage, but in the end..."

"What's the result?" Hong Luan's voice also became very soft.

"It turned out that your father had just arranged a marriage for you and Zhu Feng." Jin Lan sighed, "It was so late that I almost regretted it for half my life."

Hong Luan smiled: "Is it so serious?"

"More than that, a young man's nature is to miss love at first sight. How can you not be upset?"

"and after?"

"Later, your sister showed up, had a misunderstanding with Zhu Feng in the theater, ruined her reputation, and finally married in your place."

"Did she do it on purpose?"

"Yes, she did it intentionally. Firstly, it is for you, and secondly, she also wants to marry into the county prince's palace and change her own destiny. Speaking of which, everyone gets what they need."

Hong Luan nodded slightly, imagining what Wei Peipei would look like.

But my mind was always blank and I couldn't remember anything at all.

Jin Lan continued: "After your sister got married on your behalf, I asked to marry you again, and your father agreed, but..."

"But your elders don't agree."

"At that time, your father was working with the Prince of Nanping County. I tried to persuade your father many times, but he refused. In the end, he was implicated."

"Your elders are right to object. Otherwise, even the Jin family will be implicated."

"I only regret one thing."

"What?"

"I didn't take you away earlier and let you see your loved ones die in Zhu Feng's hands, so you were strongly stimulated." Jin Lan raised her hand to stroke her hair, "So, you don't have to think too much, Doctor Meng said , you lost that part of your memory because it was too painful. So after all these years, I didn’t want to talk about it, and I didn’t want you to recall it.”

Hong Luan didn't speak for a long time.

She was trying to process what she had just heard.

After a while, she smiled bitterly and said: "So I am such a fragile person? Artest has also experienced so many things, but he remembers everything. Even after being exiled, he is still strong."

"Artai is a boy after all. What's more, he didn't witness the moment when his relatives died. At that time, Artai was smart and was not caught by Zhu Feng. He took the opportunity to find me and bring someone to save you."

"So that's it."

"Atai killed many monks of Fahua Temple at that time, so even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came forward to intercede, he still had to be exiled."

"I see."

Hong Luan exhaled softly and looked up into Jin Lan's eyes, "I have one more question."

"You ask."

"Have you ever confessed your feelings to me at that time?"

"...Of course." Jin Lan smiled.

"Then, have I ever responded to you?"

When Hong Luan asked this question, the rain outside had gradually stopped.

Jin Lan took her hand: "Come, let me show you something."

Hong Luan was puzzled, but she still let him lead her to his bedroom and watched him take out a brocade box from the cage beside the bed.

Opening the box, there was a stack of letters and a delicate purse inside.
