Leng Yue 'er had changed!
Everyone in the Northern General's Estate could feel it. The servants who had been bullied by her were gloating over Mu Zhaoyun's divorce and her loss of support. But now, seeing this melancholic and pale girl, they could not say anything to vent their anger. Thus, they chose to ignore it. Ren Leng Yue 'er was like a lonely soul drifting in the General's residence, alone.
The water rippled as the wind blew. Ripples spread out.
The red carps at the bottom of the pool swam happily, one chasing after the other, as if they did not know their worries. The willow trees by the pond swayed, reflecting a beautiful scene in the pond.
A pavilion with red pillars and green tiles was built above the pool. Leng Yue 'er's gradually thinner figure sat alone in the pavilion. The fruit platter on the stone table was sumptuous, but she had no appetite at all. The arrogant and domineering expression on her face could no longer be seen. What was left was only infinite sadness.
She leaned out slightly, and the clear water reflected her face. The pale and dark expression was so unfamiliar that she could not help but be slightly stunned. She, who had once been so bright, no longer existed. It must have been the day Mother was divorced! Her father's anger made her feel at a loss, but her mother's actions in the past made her even more out of control. He had never thought that his loving mother would carry so many lives on her back. Leng Wanwan's mother and the child in her concubine's belly had never seen the world. Such a cruel truth made their deep-rooted belief that Leng Wanwan had stolen everything from them become laughable. It turned out that they had been wrong all along…
Recalling the hatred she had for Leng Wanwan over the past six years and her intention to eliminate her, Leng Yue 'er felt extremely guilty. The weight in her heart was like a thousand pounds. The loneliness of being alone and the helplessness of being ridiculed made her even more breathless. She was envious of the fish swimming in the pond. She wanted to get rid of the shackles in her heart.
The wind blew, and the fragrance of flowers lingered in his nose. He looked up and saw a tender green branch poking its head out of the high wall. It was so full of vitality that Leng Yue 'er suddenly wanted to step out. As she thought about it, she subconsciously stood up and walked out of the door.
"Young miss."
When the guards saw Leng Yue 'er, they still nodded and greeted her. However, they no longer felt fear or disgust.
"Yes." Leng Yue 'er replied lightly. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at them. She was afraid that there was a mocking look in their eyes that made her feel uncomfortable.
"Miss, are you going out? Do you want me to find someone to accompany you?”One of the servants asked. In the past, when did Leng Yue 'er not go out with an entourage?
"No need." Leng Yue 'er was stunned for a moment before she replied softly. The thin figure hurriedly walked out as if something was chasing after him.
The two gatekeepers looked at each other and stared at Leng Yue 'er's figure as she disappeared in front of them.
"What's wrong with this young miss?”Attendant A asked Attendant B. Did he see wrongly? How did the once arrogant young miss suddenly change into a docile young lady?
"Who knows?" Gatekeeper B shrugged his shoulders." But her change is also very good. The former arrogance is unbearable.”Women were more adorable when they were gentle. They were like tigress who annoyed everyone.
"Hmm, that's true." Attendant A nodded in agreement.
The two of them ended the conversation and began to do their work seriously.
The conversation between the two guards drifted into Leng Yue 'er's ears. She pulled her lips and smiled bitterly. It turned out that she was so annoying in the past. Her bright eyes looked at the boundless sky. The sky was so blue, and the clouds were as white as cotton. However, there was only confusion in her heart. It was said that her mother did not return to Prince Mu after leaving the Leng Residence. Instead, she had washed her face and returned to Buddhism. She must have given up. She had loved her father for decades, but she could not get his heart in the end, so she would rather choose to forget about worldly affairs. What about him? What should he do?
She shuttled aimlessly through the bustling crowd. Keep walking, keep walking. Stumbling around, he searched for the answer.
"Miss, be careful."
A gentle voice sounded, and then she felt someone hug her.
Leng Yue 'er raised her head and saw a handsome face right in front of her. He had fair skin and handsome eyebrows. Her bright eyes were like a lake, clear and clean.
"You-"
Leng Yue 'er was in a daze, not knowing what had happened.
The man's fair cheeks suddenly flushed red, and the warmth from his hands burned his hands and his heart. He was originally watching the painting at the painting stall at the side, but he inadvertently saw that the woman was in a daze and stumbling. For some reason, that pair of sad and confused bright eyes actually attracted him deeply. When he saw the woman almost fall, he went forward and hugged her without thinking. Now that he looked closer, he realized that this woman had ink-black hair and a beautiful face. The confusion on her face made him want to pity her.
"Miss, you almost fell." The man explained as he held her hands.
"Oh, thank you, Young Master." Leng Yue 'er bowed towards the man, her thoughts still drifting. In a daze, he actually turned around and wanted to leave.
" Miss-" The man was worried when he saw her dejected look. He frowned and called out to her.
"..." Leng Yue 'er stopped and looked at him with her eyes wide open.
"I see that you seem to have something on your mind?" the man asked softly.
"..." Leng Yue 'er looked at him and didn't say anything.
Seeing Leng Yue 'er's speechless expression, the man's expression was a little hesitant.
"Miss, please don't misunderstand. I just think…"
"Do you know where the lake is?" Before the man could finish, Leng Yue 'er interrupted him.
"A lake?" The man looked at Leng Yue 'er, his clear eyes filled with worry and speculation. Was this girl going to jump into the lake?
"Don't think too much. I just want to enjoy the breeze by the lake and relax.”The man's eyes were very pure. Leng Yue 'er could see through his intentions at a glance. She could not help but smile bitterly. Even a stranger was worried about her. Her parents had never cared about her since she was young. The other had also abandoned her.
"Oh, I see." The man's face turned red when his thoughts were seen through. "This one knows of a blue lake nearby.”
"Alright."
Leng Yue 'er nodded and followed the man. His back was tall and straight, and his broad shoulders seemed very safe.
The two of them kept walking without saying a word until the blue lake appeared in front of them.
The lake breeze was cool, mixed with the smell of water. The sunlight shone on the surface of the lake, making it look like a piece of jade silk inlaid with gems. It was soft and gorgeous.
The green grass by the lake was like a mat, and the wind blew. The grass moved like shallow waves.
Leng Yue 'er stood there, her hair blowing in the wind. Her thin back was filled with loneliness and confusion.
The man felt his heart ache for some reason. He raised his hand but then lowered it. He wanted to soothe her uneasiness, but he felt that it was too abrupt.
"I was born into a wealthy family. Mother dotes on me, and the servants in the residence are afraid of me. Perhaps because of this, I became arrogant.”Perhaps it was because she was suppressing her emotions and wanted to find an outlet to vent, or perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too good, Leng Yue 'er could not help but throw away the red tape and sit on the grass. She spoke her heart out." I love my father very much, but he has never hugged me since I was young. I thought that he was cold and indifferent and would not care about others. However, when she appeared, I realized that it was not that he did not understand love, but that love would only be left for her. I hate her. Her appearance not only took away father, but also made mother lose the power of the mistress of the house. Even the servants in the residence no longer respected me as before. I was not willing to let everything be taken away. Mother also wanted to consolidate our position in the residence, so for the past six years, we constantly bribed assassins in the martial arts world to assassinate her. But I always fail…"
The man also sat beside Leng Yue 'er and listened to her quietly. His expression was as gentle as ever.
Leng Yue 'er did not see any disgust on the man's face, and her heart relaxed a lot.
"But later, I found out that it was Mother who hurt her mother first, causing her to live a lonely and bitter life. Moreover, Mother also hurt the child in Father's concubine's stomach. The cruelty of the matter made me feel at a loss. The seriousness in our hearts seems to have become a joke. It turns out that everything we did from the beginning to the end was even more wrong…"
Guilt flashed in her hazy eyes. She turned her head to look at the man and asked helplessly,
"Do you think I'm bad?" Now that she thought back to her past self, she felt extremely ashamed. What could she do to make up for her past mistakes? Only then could they start over?
The lake breeze blew, and a few strands of black hair scattered messily on her face. The shadow under her eyes revealed her panic and uneasiness. The man pursed his lips and looked back at her seriously. He said gently,
"You're not bad, not bad at all. A truly bad person is the kind of person who does something wrong and goes all the way. You regret it now and feel guilty, don't you? Now that you know you're wrong, think of a way to make up for it and apologize. I believe they will forgive you and accept you again. Moreover, your father will be proud of the new you.”She was just a child who longed for love. Because her beloved father ignored her, she became resentful because of the appearance of another girl.
"Did you come in a hurry?" The man's words flowed into her heart like a warm current, and her cold heart gradually warmed up. She looked at him with her hazy eyes, hoping that someone would give her courage.
"Of course." The man nodded." As long as you do it sincerely, I believe they will understand you.”
The man's words echoed in the wind. Leng Yue 'er looked at the ripples on the lake surface, her eyes gradually brightening. That's right. Instead of regretting and feeling guilty here, it was better to work hard to make up for the mistakes in the past and work hard to show them that he had changed. Even if she couldn't be forgiven, she wouldn't regret it because she had already tried her best…
"Thank you." Leng Yue 'er looked at this unfamiliar man and thanked him sincerely. Perhaps his appearance was not as handsome as the men she had seen before, but when she looked into his clear eyes, it was as if she had fallen into a soft cotton field, making her feel comfortable.
"No need to thank me." The man shook his head and looked at Leng Yue 'er who was no longer confused. Her clear eyes sparkled with a soft light. She looked even more beautiful when she was relaxed.
"My name is Leng Yue 'er, what about you?" Leng Yue 'er's face flushed red, and she suddenly felt a little shy.
"I am Su Zhan." The man's face was also dyed with a faint glow.
Unknowingly, the sun had set on the top of the mountain, and the red glow bloomed. The fiery red clouds seemed to be burning, decorating the sky with dazzling colors.
The two of them looked at each other and unknowingly fell into a daze.
