Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I know, I know…” You Bail s heart ached so much that she could only hug her tightly. “It’ll get better. Everything will get better.”
Yuan Yuwan closed her eyes. She had thought many times that everything would be fine, but the heavens never seemed to let her off easily.
When her grandfather left, her sky collapsed. The man said to her, “You still have me.”
She thought that everything would be fine as long as she passed the mourning period.
She had relied on these words to support herself for three years, waiting expectantly for that person to marry her. However, reality gave her a slap in the face, shattering her fantasies and shattering her youthful hopes.
When she left the Xiao family with the divorce letter, she thought that things would get better.
However, that person pressed on step by step, shattering the high wall she had painstakingly built bit by bit.
He said, “If I can return triumphantly, can we get to know each other again?”<segment 44350
Before she could say “yes” to him, the man left and would never come back.
She wanted to scold him for breaking his promise time and time again. She wanted to blame him, but he was gone. Who could she blame?
How cruel was this? How cruel were the heavens to her?
Her heart hurt too much, but she couldn’t cry. She could only let despair and pain barge through her heart, crushing it until she couldn’t breathe.
With a weight on her shoulder, You Bai looked down and saw that the person in her arms was pale and her eyes were closed.
“Miss!” She called out in a trembling voice. “Miss… Miss! Don’t scare me…”
It was still raining. It was June, and it was so cold that one’s teeth chattered. You Bai gritted her teeth and helped Yuan Yuwan up. Before she could take two steps, she staggered and the master and servant fell into a mess.
“Miss.” You Bai got up in a panic to check on Yuan Yuwan. When she noticed that there was blood on her forehead, the nerves in his heart completely collapsed at this moment. She leaned on Yuan Yuwan and wailed, “Miss, I’m sorry. I’m useless. I can’t do anything right.”
She wailed for a long time until the faint sound of hooves brought her back to her senses.
“Miss, wait for me. I’ll go and find someone now,” she said with a trembling voice. She wiped her face and got up to run down the hill. The rain blurred her vision. She ran in a hurry, and she slipped and rolled down the hill. She rolled to the side of the road before stopping.
At this moment, the sound of hooves approached. The hooves were raised high in front of her, and You Bai’s pupils constricted.
This sudden change also shocked the young man on the horse. He quickly pulled the reins of the horse and turned it around.
Seeing who it was that was almost stepped on by his horse, the young man said in disbelief, “You Bai?”
You Bai came back to his senses from the shock. Ignoring the pain on his body, he said anxiously, “Your Highness, quick, my young lady has fainted..
“What?” Shangguan Heng was shocked. ‘Where’s Ah Yu?”
“In front of the wooden house.”
Shangguan Heng looked up at the wooden house not far away and dismounted. Noticing the sorry state You Bai was in, he frowned and instructed the person behind him, “Yuan Bao, send her back to the manor first.”
With that, he ran towards the wooden house alone.
Yuan Yuwan felt that she had slept for a long time when she heard footsteps. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that she was sitting on the edge of the bed. What she saw was a sea of red.
She was stunned. As soon as she raised her hand, the red in front of her eyes was lifted. She looked up and met a pair of deep eyes.
“Miss Yuan.” The young man was dressed in red and looked at her with a smile.
Yuan Yuwan’s heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed a corner of the young man’s robe, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she let go.
“You… you’re back?” As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was extremely hoarse.
However, the young man did not seem to notice it. His clear eyes gradually darkened, and they were filled with emotions that she could not understand. Yuan Yuwan’s heart skipped a beat again.
The young man reached out and pulled her into his arms. “What are you talking about? Today is our big day. Where can I go?”
“Our big day?” Yuan Yuwan leaned against his chest. The faint fragrance of cold wood on the young man’s body filled her nose. She felt that everything was unreal, but she also felt that this was how it should be.
“That’s right. From today onwards, you’ll be my wife, the Young Madam of the Xiao family. You don’t have to be afraid. With me around, I won’t let those people from the Yuan family have the chance to bully you again.”
Yuan Yuwan opened her mouth, wanting to say that the Yuan family had been sent to the frontier fortress and that no one could bully her anymore.
Before she could finish, the scene around her changed. Blinding light shone in. She closed her eyes in discomfort. When she opened them again, she was already standing on a hill.
It was a ten-mile slope, the only way from the capital to Nanling Pass.
She looked around frantically for something. The sound of hooves stopped behind her.
Yuan Yuwan turned around and stared blankly at the young man in armor who was walking towards her with a smile on his face.
“Miss Yuan, I…”
Tears welled up in Yuan Yuwan’s eyes as she threw herself into the young man’s arms. “Alright!”
The young man’s body stiffened slightly, and his grip on the person in his arms gradually tightened. After a while, he said, “I heard it.”
Yuan Yuwan looked up at him.
“I’m sorry.”
Guessing what he was going to say next, Yuan Yuwan shook her head frantically.
Xiao Qirui looked slightly troubled. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. He sighed. “Forget about me.”
‘Young Master Lin, is this incense really useful? Why is my Miss crying?” You Bai asked nervously.
Lin Shao scratched his head. “This incense is called a fulfilling dream. I can’t control what Sister Yuwan dreamed of…
The girl on the bed’s eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar house.
You Bai leaned over in surprise. “Miss, you’re finally awake.”
Yuan Yuwan turned around to look at her.
“You’ve been asleep for three days. You scared me to death.” You Bai wiped her tears and explained, “That day, you suddenly fainted. Fortunately, you met His Highness, Lord Rui. After you returned, you developed a fever again. I could only beg His Highness to send us into the city. We’re in the Duke’s residence now.”
“Yuwan is awake?” Madam Li entered with a maidservant. She walked to the bed and sat down. Her heart ached so much that she took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of Yuan Yuwan’s eyes.
“Auntie, you’re worried,” Yuan Yuwan said weakly.
Madam Li sighed. “We’re a family. We happened to brew some medicine. Let’s drink it first.”
Lin Miaomiao squeezed out from behind her brother and untied a pouch from her waist. She opened it and poured out three round candied plums. “Sister Yuwan, if you’re afraid of the medicine being bitter, I still have candied plums here. They won’t be bitter anymore after eating them.” Seeing everyone’s concern, Yuan Yuwan’s eyes turned red. “Yes.”
At Nanling Pass.
In three days, the army brought by General Sikong had finished resting. Song Jingchen discussed the final plan to attack the Wu Kingdom with a few generals and finally decided to set off tomorrow to attack the Wu Kingdom with the Xuanyuan Kingdom’s army.
Shen Yijia was afraid that if she continued to stay in the residence, her mother would feed her all kinds of medicinal cuisine that were rumored to be useful to the baby. She tried her best to coax her to the infirmary to help.
She wasn’t willing to stay in the general’s residence, but it wasn’t appropriate for her to disturb Song Jingchen’s discussion. Fortunately, she accompanied Ji Luo in the infirmary for half a day.
After coming out of the infirmary, Ji Luo suddenly asked, “Where’s Si Yun?” Shen Yijia was stunned. That’s right. Where was Si Yun?
The news that Si Yun was the one who caused the living dead had already spread throughout the military camp. Shen Yijia casually grabbed a soldier and asked.
Knowing that Si Yun had been locked in an iron cage by the latrine pit, Shen Yijia was about to ask him to lead the way when Ji Luo’s eyelids twitched. She quickly interrupted her. “Get someone to prepare a tent and bring him there.”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Her mother is so smart..”
