I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 269 Delusion

"Just because Xu Shu came from another world, he could easily rewrite Mu Jinghua's fate and turn him from a radical and vicious lunatic into the happy child that is now held in the palm of everyone's hand?"

"Heaven is unfair. Heaven is so unfair."

"Qiao Jianhong, are you crazy?" Qiao Wan was speechless and really wanted to slap him, "I really can't understand you at all now."

"Bai Danchen has been dead for many years. The dead are gone. Why are you being so hypocritical here? Besides, Mu Jinghua is Bai Danchen's biological son. How do you know that Bai Danchen is not happy to see this scene?"

"It's fine if you just don't like Xu Shu, but you're actually complaining about how Mu Ge'er is doing? A few days ago, you even thought of letting Mu Ge'er be your substitute. I thought you were just known for being a bohemian, but I didn't expect you to be so... shameless!"

Qiao Jianhong was stunned, but was somewhat awakened by Qiao Wan's scolding: "I just don't like Xu Shu, I don't mean to bully Mu Ge'er."

"No?" Qiao Wan snorted coldly, "You asked him to be a concubine of the dog emperor without him? The one sitting on the throne now is no longer the Emperor Zhao Yan in the original plot. He is just a useless puppet who knows nothing. He spends all day eating, drinking, and having fun, wandering around the harem. What else can he do?"

"Since you know the original plot, you should know that Mu Jinghua's ability to interfere in government affairs in the harem was a deliberate attempt by the original Emperor Zhao Yan to confuse the Queen Mother. It was only after the city was defeated that Mu Jinghua took advantage of the opportunity... Never mind, let's not talk about this matter."

"Just tell me who killed Emperor Zhao Yan and who caused the current situation. Qiao Jianhong, do you like to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth?"

"Do you think I won't tell the truth to Xu Shu and Qin Lianxi, or do you think you can rest easy with an army of 800,000?"

Qiao Jianhong sat down in silence, and after listening to Qiao Wan's scolding, he smiled and said, "You scolded me the same way that day."

He looked a little lonely: "But Qiao Wan, people always have to live for a reason, don't they?"

"Then why are you living? To restart the plot line?" Qiao Wan took a sip of herbal tea and softened his tone. "But you tried it once, and the result was tragic."

"Yes." Qiao Jianhong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this. "Except for Mu Jinghua, all the important characters in the plot were killed by me, but soon others came to fill their roles."

"This even includes you."

Qiao Wan curled the corners of his mouth but said nothing.

Qiao Jianhong snorted coldly: "Even if it is Emperor Zhaoyan, the Heavenly Dao can find a puppet idiot who looks exactly like him to justify his words. It's ridiculous."

"So it's impossible to ruin the plot. Maybe I was dragged into this world just to persuade you to be content."

"But you also said that before you traveled through time, you couldn't control the plot in the book. Later, you found out that it was because of Xu Shu. It was Xu Shu who changed the plot, and it was even beyond your control." A hint of fanaticism flashed in Qiao Jianhong's eyes, "So I must be able to do it too."

"You're nothing." Qiao Wan cursed, "Xu Shu seems to have changed a lot after he traveled through the book, but the general plot direction, such as encountering bandits and coming to Beijing, has not changed."

"This means that although the plot can be modified, it must not be a large-scale, drastic modification. You want to restart the plot line, go back to the time when Bai Danchen was still alive, and stop Bai Danchen and Mu Tonghai from getting married. This is absolutely impossible!"

"Can……"

"No buts!" Qiao Wan said angrily, "Now that Mu Ge'er has become an imperial merchant, you should stop provoking him every other day. Also, tell Mu Tonghai to be nice to Mu Jinghua and stop mentioning entering the palace."

"Qiao Wan." Qiao Jianhong was about to say something else when there was a knock on the door. It was Qiao asking, "Sir, Miss, lunch is ready. Would you like it?"

Qiao Jianhong glanced at Qiao Wan, and Qiao Wan said, "Send it, but I'll ask Xuan Er to eat it."

After that, he stood up and was about to leave, cursing before he left: "If you urge me to get married again, I will run away from home again."

Qiao Jianhong pursed his lips and said nothing.

When Ah Qiao heard Qiao Wan say this, he couldn't help but sigh. He carried the food into the house carefully, but when he saw the wound on Qiao Jianhong's hand, he was stunned: "Sir, let me bandage it for you."

He trotted to get the gauze and carefully treated Qiao Jianhong's wound. Seeing that he had no intention of resisting, he could not help but say, "Sir, why do you have to do this? The young lady can do whatever she likes. Why make such a fuss?"

"Then who cares about me?" Qiao Jianhong asked without any clue.

Ah Qiao was confused but still amused: "Sir, this marriage is the young lady's, not yours."

"Yeah." Qiao Jianhong came back to his senses and looked at A Qiao, "Am I wrong?"

"Young Master is doing this for Young Lady's own good. What's wrong with that? It's just that his attitude is a little tough sometimes."

"Tough attitude?" Qiao Jianhong waved his hand. "Softer attitude is better?"

"Sir..." Ah Qiao didn't know what he meant, so he just said, "Sir, please have your meal first."

He was about to stand up, but was pulled back by Qiao Jianhong. He looked back in surprise and met Qiao Jianhong's deep eyes. He was so scared that he quickly lowered his eyes: "Sir?"

"Aqiao, I want to ask you, is there any regret medicine in the world?"

"Aqiao doesn't know. Aqiao only knows that most people in this world need to look forward."

“Why look forward when you don’t know what’s ahead?”

"It's because we don't know what's ahead that we need to look forward, right? If we don't look ahead carefully, we may miss out on people or things, and then we'll regret it for a long time."

"Ha." Qiao Jianhong smiled, "Your opinion is quite interesting."

Ah Qiao bowed awkwardly and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave."

"Are you going to see Mu Ge'er?" Qiao Jianhong nodded, and suddenly asked, "If you want to go, go to Bai Mansion to find him tomorrow, but whether he wants to keep you is up to you."

Ah Qiao stood up straight and said, "Sir, are you not going to let Mu Ge'er enter the palace?"

"I didn't have this plan in the first place." Qiao Jianhong picked up the chopsticks, flipped through the dishes in front of him, and said boredly, "You've worked hard these days, go down first."

A Qiao responded, slowly stepped back, and helped close the door.

As soon as the door closed, Qiao Jianhong put down his chopsticks and sighed deeply: "I should have expected this. If you are so soft-hearted, how can you have any more chances?"

He stood up and walked to the bookshelf, then pressed the tea pet on the table, and the bookshelf in front of him split into two, opening up a deep tunnel.

Qiao Jianhong walked down step by step until he reached the deepest part where there was a dim light, and then he suddenly stopped.

Looking at the person lying quietly in the ice coffin, he stretched out his hand, then retracted it.

"Brother Danchen, I'm here to see you again."
