"Eldest Master, do you believe in vengeful spirits?"
Ning Shu sighed as she stood in front of Cloud Leaf's bed. She suddenly turned to Yun Ruohui and asked.
Yun Ruohui frowned and asked, "Lady Ning, why do you suddenly ask? Do you also believe in the rumor that Empress Zhou took her anger out on Cloud Leaf and harmed him?"
Ning Shu smiled and shook her head. She pulled back her sleeves and cut off the extra leaves of a begonia. She inserted it into the flower pot beside Cloud Leaf's bed.
"I've been troubled and unable to sleep for the past few days, so I casually flipped through 'Taiping Guang Ji'. I was deeply moved when I read two stories. The first story was about Zheng Sheng, who was obsessed with love, who met Li Wa, who valued friendship and righteousness. The two of them eventually fell in love and stayed together for the rest of their lives. The second story was about Huo Xiaoyu, who was born of a concubine in the prince's residence. After her father's death, she became a geisha. Unfortunately, she met Li Yi, who was a hypocrite. After she was abandoned, her heart died and she became a vengeful spirit. In order to seek revenge, she wreaked havoc on Li Yi's life. Li Wa and Huo Xiaoyu were both born in the brothel, but their fates were completely different. How could anyone not sigh when they saw such a huge difference in their lives? That's why I asked just now. "
After arranging the flowers, she dipped her fingers in water and carefully sprinkled it on the petals. She turned to Yun Ruohui and asked, "Eldest Master, why do you think these two women ended up like this?"
Yun Ruohui looked a little absent-minded. "Probably because they met different people … Both of them were women who valued friendship and righteousness. It's just that some people are worth entrusting your life to, while others are not …"
Ning Shu furrowed her brows in distress. "Li Yi was a Jinshi. In the beginning, he was also affectionate and sweet. Zheng Sheng, on the other hand, was extravagant and didn't take the imperial examinations. It was only later that he started studying. I really can't tell which one of them is worth entrusting your life to."
"Maybe it's hard to tell what's in a person's heart." Yun Ruohui's voice was a little obscure. "Some people don't understand themselves. They think they are reliable, but in the end, they are just useless."
Ning Shu nodded her head in agreement. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "What would you do if you met a woman like Li Wa or Huo Xiaoyu?"
Yun Ruohui gently lowered her eyes, using her long black eyelashes to cover up the bitterness in her eyes. She forced a smile and said, "People are destined to have boundaries when they are born. Perhaps it was best not to meet people with too much disparity in status in the first place. Even if they did meet, they should not get close to them. It would be better for both parties. No one will disturb anyone, and no one will harm anyone. In the end, no one will hate anyone … "
Ning Shu sighed. "I remember what Young Master Xiao told me before. The woman you were destined to meet unfortunately passed away. In your story, I think she was a very cute woman. My heart is in turmoil, so I would like to take the liberty to ask, why did she pass away, and when did she pass away? "
Yun Ruohui's body trembled slightly, and tears vaguely appeared in his eyes. "She died three years ago. She died … under a bandit's knife."
Ning Shu felt a stab in her heart when she saw this. She immediately bowed deeply and said, "I'm sorry. It was my recklessness that brought up Young Master Xiao's sad memories. Please forgive me."
"It's okay. It's all in the past." Yun Ruohui blinked away the tears in his eyes and said with a smile, "I just need to remember that the best of her will always live in my heart. Forgive me for forgetting myself. I'll go clean up first. "
Yun Ruohui turned to leave, but Ning Shu suddenly said, "Young Master Xiao, there's something you might not know. About two hours ago, the Fifth Princess summoned me to ask about a case."
Yun Ruohui suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and asked, "What did she ask you about?"
