Her face was solemn, her silly smile long gone. She had no great expectations, only hoping to quietly wait for the child’s arrival and live out the rest of her life peacefully. Perhaps, one day, God might bring her back to modern times.
“Yes, Miss!” Xi’er observed her mistress’s every move, truly worried for her. It was unexpected that such a devoted prince would be with Miss Yi Qing, and just thinking about it made her angry! As a royal descendant, his promiscuous nature of loving the new and despising the old reflected poorly on their ancestors.
“Why do you always keep people thousands of miles away? Xi’er, never mind; leave the pastries for your mistress. She’s not alone now and needs to be well taken care of. If anything happens, you must notify us. Even if we’re far apart, I’ll rush over!” Ling’er’s strong personality made Luo Ran feel somewhat discouraged, as she clearly treated him as an outsider.
“Yes, Young Master Luo Ran!” After stepping back and nodding, Xi’er considered that while Luo Ran was devoted, the Miss was married to the prince. Even though the prince had divorced her, how could she remarry Luo Ran? These relationships were too complicated. Xi’er helplessly shook her head.
Luo Ran leaped and disappeared from their sight.
“Miss, why don’t you consider Young Master Luo Ran’s words? With his care, I would feel more at ease. After all, you’re just a woman. What if you encounter some ruffians?”
“Xi’er, what are you trying to say?” Eating the pastries Xi’er made, she felt sweetness in her heart.
“Xi’er hopes the Miss can go to Yunnan with Young Master Luo Ran!” Xi’er said firmly.
“Have you considered what would happen between Yu Shan and Luo Ran if I went? Nothing! I wouldn’t be able to find peace for the rest of my life.” She understood Xi’er’s meaning; she longed to leave but couldn’t be selfish. Yu Shan was kind; how could she destroy her dreams again?
“Seeing the Miss like this, Xi’er would rather never marry!” Xi’er muttered, dissatisfied.
