She knew that what he said was right. The more complicated the situation was, the more she should calm down and avoid being impatient. But how could it be easy to do?
She spent seven lives to find the person in front of her in this life. Not long after she caught him, there was a voice that told her that it was just an illusion. She was happy for a short time and she should be prepared to leave. For a moment, she was filled with hatred. She hated the cruelty of the Heavenly Dao. Why couldn't it see her doing well every time? Or perhaps she had done something evil in her eight, nine, or ten lifetimes that she couldn't say for sure in one of her previous lifetimes that she had been toyed with in the palm of her hand over and over again for the past three hundred years. The person she wanted would never be able to obtain, and the love she was searching for would always be in vain.
She was really, really, really unwilling. There were so many dissatisfaction in her heart. Not only did she want to resent heaven, but she also wanted to be involved in this evil world and discord.
Jealousy rose in her eyes, forcing her to lift the curtain and turn her face to the side, letting the hot wind outside the carriage dry the ripples that were about to appear. However, she saw the familiar figure of a young girl by the forest path. She lowered her head and walked slowly with a basket of paper money. In order to avoid them, she accidentally slipped and fell into the grass, causing the paper money to fly everywhere.
The carriage stopped. Ning Shu hurriedly got off and helped her up, "Li E 'er?" After not seeing her for more than a month, she couldn't believe that the girl in front of her, who was as thin as a handful of hay, was actually Li E 'er.
The girl looked up blankly. It took her a long time to recognize the girl in a fragrant dress and jewelry, "Miss … Ning?"
"It's me." Ning Shu swept the paper money all over the ground and looked at her obviously thin face. She asked, "What are you doing here?"
As soon as she saw her, Li E 'er's shoulders shrank. She grabbed the basket and quickly picked up the scattered paper money, "I, I …" She lowered her head for a long time. Her tears were about to fall, but she couldn't get those words out.
Until Zhou Yang, who was dressed in coarse hemp clothes, ran all the way from behind with sweat. He saw Ning Shu and the carriage of the Prince's Mansion kneeling beside Li E 'er, "Greetings to all the noble ladies! We are not going to do anything bad. We are just going to deliver paper money. "
Ning Shu looked at him doubtfully.
Zhou Yang held Li E 'er's trembling hand tightly. Her eyes were red, "Noble lady, please understand. Since Miss Xue passed away, E' er washed her face with tears every day. She was sick for many days. When she recovered, she went to burn some paper money on Miss Xue's grave every day. She kowtowed for a long time. Today's weather is really hot. I advised her to come back later in the evening, but she still came when I wasn't paying attention. Today, she accidentally disturbed Noble Lady's carriage. Please do not blame her. This commoner and the others will leave now. E 'er, get up. "
He pulled up Li E 'er's arm, but unexpectedly, Li E' er's face was already full of tears. She knelt deeply on the ground and refused to get up. No matter how Zhou Xiang helped her, it was useless. She clutched Ning Shu's skirt tightly, as if she was clutching the last life-saving straw.
"I'm sorry …"
"I'm sorry …"
Li E 'er kept apologizing. It was unknown whether she was apologizing to Ning Shu in front of her, to the dead Xue Qiongwei, or to her own conscience that she couldn't control.
"That night … I really didn't know that Miss Qiongwei was a girl. She claimed to be the young master of the Prime Minister's residence. I thought that with her identity, even if she was caught by the envoy, he would let her go for the sake of the Prime Minister's residence. But I was just a lowly commoner. If I reported it to the officials and made a big deal out of it, it would definitely add fuel to the fire and my family would not be able to protect themselves. So, I was timid … I hid myself in the woods, intending to wait until Miss Qiongwei came out, then I would thank her and apologize to her. But I didn't expect that the final outcome would be like that … That night, when she asked me to escape, I clearly promised her that I would come back. I clearly promised her that as soon as I escaped, I would immediately call the officials … But I didn't do either … I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry … I'm really a despicable person … The one who should die is not her, but me … Miss Ning, if I had been more honest with you at that time, if I hadn't avoided it because of my cowardice, if … I'm sorry … "
If it wasn't for her timidity and selfishness that day, perhaps Xue Qiongwei wouldn't have embarked on the path of a life and death struggle. But the regret of being late was useless.
Ning Shu looked at the crying girl in front of her with pity. No matter how hard her heart was, she couldn't help but soften. She sighed softly and stroked the girl's messy hair to straighten it out.
