"I heard from the warden that you were looking for me?"
Qin Mu put down the book in his hand and raised his head to look at Chang Le.
Earlier today.
The female warden told Qin Mu that Chang Le had requested to meet him.
Qin Mu didn't want to agree to meet him.
However, when he thought of Zhong Lian 'er, who was already dead, he still nodded in agreement.
After all, when she was alive, Chang Le was the only person who stayed by her side.
"Sir, please forgive this little girl for being presumptuous.”
"There is something that I don't understand. Please answer my questions.”
Chang Le was unexpectedly polite.
He was very natural.
His words and actions were also very appropriate.
Seeing her actions, Qin Mu couldn't help but frown.
This girl didn't seem to be that unruly and willful.
In fact.
These few days in prison had allowed Chang Le to see through many things.
Princess Changle, who was only fifteen years old, seemed to understand some of the bitterness of this world.
It turned out that he had always been perfectly protected.
It turned out that there was actually so much suffering in this world.
The once unruly and rebellious girl seemed to have grown up a little.
"Tell me, what don't you understand?”
Qin Mu asked indifferently.
"Milord, I don't understand. What was fairness in this world? What is unfair?"
"Sister Lian 'er has been kind all her life, but in the end, she ended up with her head separated from her body. I also know that Sister Lian 'er accidentally killed an innocent person. Even if she doesn't deserve to die, she must die.”
"But I just can't figure out what justice is in this world.”
After saying these words, Chang Le was already teary-eyed and her shoulders were trembling.
Was this world black or white?
Was it good or bad?
A fifteen-year-old girl.
What kind of mentality would it be to look at the world with an ignorant gaze?
If he couldn't figure this out, then he would have wasted his time in prison.
"Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you a story.”
Looking at the weeping Chang Le, Qin Mu slowly stood up and walked to the window of the room.
He raised his head and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, as well as the pear trees floating down in the backyard. He began to tell a bizarre story.
"Many years ago, there was a wealthy family in Lin 'an City of Jiangnan Prefecture. The couple only had one son, Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan was handsome and elegant, and he was quite famous in the local area.”
"When he was 15 years old, his parents arranged a marriage for him and married a lady of a similar social status. On the day of the wedding, the sound of gongs and drums filled the sky, and there was a sea of people. The entire Li Residence was in jubilation. However, after the Li Residence married the young lady, they discovered that Li Xiuyuan had disappeared.”
"Missing?"
Hearing this, Chang Le was gradually entranced and could not help but be surprised.
"Not bad."
Qin Mu nodded and continued," Missing."”
"Only a letter was left behind, and then it disappeared as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth.”
"In the next three years, the entire Li Residence searched for Li Xiuyuan, but they could not find him. In the first year after Li Xiuyuan disappeared, Father Li passed away due to excessive grief.”
"In the second year after he disappeared, Mother Li cried until she went blind. She missed him too much and was plagued by illness.”
"In the third year after Li Xiuyuan disappeared, the Li family was framed by the local squire and completely lost power. Mother Li was filled with grief and indignation. Finally, she also died.”
“……”
"What about Li Xiuyuan's wife?”
Chang Le's expression was a little complicated.
There was another tragic person in the story.
A woman who had never seen her husband before.
It should be very bitter, right?
"After her parents-in-law died, that woman had been guarding their graves. She was crazy and silly. A beautiful woman turned into a lunatic with unkempt hair.”
"And at this time, Li Xiuyuan actually appeared again. He had changed his appearance a long time ago. He was no longer the elegant young master he used to be. He wore monk robes and became a novice monk.”
"It turns out that during the three years that Li Xiuyuan disappeared, he had been a monk in the Hidden Spirit Temple, which was less than five miles away from his house. In the end, it was a friend of the Li family who burned incense at the Hidden Spirit Temple that finally found Li Xiuyuan and told him about his family's situation.”
"Li Xiuyuan hurried down the mountain, only to find that his parents were dead. In front of his parents 'graves, there was only a woman wearing a tattered embroidered red robe. Her hair was unkempt and her face was dirty. She was talking crazily.”
"On that day, Li Xiuyuan finally lost all hope. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky, and it began to rain heavily. Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly. In the end, he walked toward Hidden Spirit Temple in despair.”
" And the moment Li Xiuyuan was about to leave, his wife seemed to have regained her senses before her death and grabbed Li Xiuyuan's monk robe tightly. However, in the end, she was unable to keep her husband. At this point, the woman finally went completely crazy. From then on, she would surround her in-laws 'graves every day and laugh crazily!”
"A few years later, a crazy monk in tattered clothes suddenly appeared out of nowhere. His Dharma name was Ji Dian. He was regarded as the living Buddha of the present generation by the common people and worshiped in the Temple of Life.”
Qin Mu's voice stopped abruptly.
The story finally came to an end.
