Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thinking back, Liu Shii had indeed lost her chastity. At least she still had her virginity.
But Liu Shii was much stronger than her; not only did she bear it herself, but she also carved out a new path for herself.
“There’s always a way out.” Liu Shii smiled at her and said, “First of all, you have to believe in yourself. If you give up on yourself first, who else can help you?”
Zhang Miaozhen looked at her with teary eyes and said, “What else can I do? Not only myself, but I’ve also implicated my family!”
Liu Shii wiped her tears with a handkerchief and whispered, “I don’t think your life is ruined for the second half. Perhaps, when God closes one door for you, He might open a window.”
“Words are easy to say, but I…” Zhang Miaozhen wanted to say: Whether I marry a prince or not doesn’t matter, but I won’t have the courage to love anyone in the future, even if I like them.
But she couldn’t bring herself to say such words!
Now, she no longer had the qualification to talk about liking soone.
Liu Shii couldn’t know what Zhang Miaozhen was thinking. She pursed her lips and said, “You’re still sick, and your body is weak. First, get well, and then we can talk about other things. I won’t ask you to cheer up imdiately. Right now, if you want to cry, just cry. Since you feel like your life is ruined, why not be a little willful, do whatever you want, and enjoy it!”
Zhang Miaozhen blinked her teary eyes, surprised that Liu Shii was not trying to persuade her not to be sad.
Last night, Jiang’s family and the won at ho all ca to persuade her to ‘look at things positively’, ‘don’t be sad’, ‘don’t cry’, ‘be strong’, but only Liu Shii told her to ‘cry if you want to’ and to be a little willful!
“When sothing painful happens, it’s okay to cry it out. It might not be a bad thing.” Liu Shii saw her confusion, smiled at her, and said, “Cry as much as you want, but after crying, you’re not allowed to be depressed! Whoever makes us shed tears must repay with blood in the future!”
Zhang Miaozhen beca even more confused.
Liu Shii asked again, “Miaozhen, at the ti of the incident, where was Miao Linglong?”
She would pinpoint Miao Linglong as the suspect, and Zhang Miaozhen was not surprised at all because she had the sa suspicion!
Zhang Miaozhen paused, no longer shedding tears. She carefully recalled the events of last night and said, “Originally, I wanted to go and release lanterns with you, but seeing how well you get along with King Dun Yu, I felt it wouldn’t be right to disturb you. So, I planned to go with my brothers. Unexpectedly, Miao Linglong ca over and invited to join her.”
“I thought, since everyone is familiar with each other and we also have family relations, it wouldn’t be polite to refuse her. Although I was wary of her in my heart, I could only agree.”
“After that, I was very cautious, following my eldest brother closely, not daring to leave the protection. My mind wasn’t even on releasing lanterns; I was on guard against her the whole ti. She didn’t do anything strange. After finishing the river lanterns, she went to release hers.”
“When I saw her leave, I felt relieved and followed my eldest brother to make river lanterns, walking to the riverbank to release them.”
“Coincidentally, I saw the largest river lantern you and King Dun Yu made, and I chatted with my eldest brother for a few monts. Unexpectedly, an assassin suddenly erged from the water, moving too fast. He grabbed my foot and dragged into the water!”
Liu Shii saw that even though she had a high fever, her thoughts were still clear. She thought, ‘The events of last night must be haunting her, sothing she’ll never forget in her lifeti.’
She asked, “So, do you think it was Miao Linglong who did it?”
