Chapter 1901: Chapter 1881:

After all, the only ones who have seen all the ’insiders’ are Luo Qianqian, He Wenyu, and Mo.

However, Mo didn’t dare to guarantee whether any of the people he originally met were ’traitors’ among them, so he did not show up; instead, Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu appeared.

And not only that, but now among the people present, someone quickly learned these simple and catchy songs and performed them as well...

But it’s obvious that because they’re all beginners, even the original version was very off-key, let alone those who learned from it, making it even further off the tune, but that’s not the problem.

Luo Qianqian chuckled and then looked at He Wenyu, and the two exchanged smiles.

Now it’s as if everything is ready, only lacking the east wind...

So where is the east wind?

Cong Ying held a hairpin in her hand, sitting by the inn window, her face full of helplessness and bitterness.

Is this because of social status? Is that why she can’t get what she seeks? Because he doesn’t have a noble origin, is that why Lin Jiayou looks down on him, is this the reason?

Unable to fathom it, ultimately filled with a sense of grievance, but what can be known is, the Eldest Princess’s original entrustment came from the heart, otherwise she wouldn’t have given this item. Although this jade hairpin is not something valuable, it is nevertheless precious to the Eldest Princess.

After all, it was once the token of love between the current King and Queen of Southern Li during their youth, at the time the King ascended the throne, it was also when the Queen gloriously married into the Royal Family.

And as the first daughter, the Eldest Princess also received the Queen’s blessing, hoping she could be with her youth’s love, carefree and happy for a lifetime.

Although it’s hard to confirm if the Queen was truly that happy, what can be confirmed is, the Eldest Princess did not receive this blessing nor pass it down.

Because, the Eldest Princess has had many Prince Consorts, even choosing one arbitrarily for trivial matters and discarding him the next day.

Thinking back, it was probably because of Lin Jiayou’s situation, right? Otherwise, why would the Eldest Princess target a family that poses no threat? How could the Royal Family’s dignity be provoked by such a small family?

Even if... it’s considered a relative, but ultimately, not so close.

Looking at the hairpin, she smiled bitterly.

In her youth, she caught the Eldest Princess’s eye and used Royal Family resources to secretly learn many things, also embodying the type to ’bow to the utmost and die afterward’ for the Eldest Princess.

Only in the end, the Eldest Princess was willing to trade her death for her child’s and her beloved’s even for her own hope of life, how could she not be moved?

After being silent for a long time, there was a long sigh; some people’s existence seems to chill one’s future...

When she was young, she hadn’t fallen for anyone; little did she know she’d eventually fall for the man the Eldest Princess bore a child with, who is also a cultivator.

It was also because of him that she willingly left her family.

She knows that once the Eldest Princess is gone, her value in the family lies only in marriage alliances, and at her age, it isn’t exactly perfect, so she is bound to be picky and might eventually marry beneath her status.

But even marrying beneath her status is better than entering the Royal Family as a concubine.

Although there are still several Princes in the Royal Family without a main wife, some are beyond her reach, and some are dismissed by the Royal Family, even marrying them won’t benefit the family.

So, instead of waiting for a reluctant outcome, why not be bold, directly chase the one she loves and leave, at least she can still see hope for the future, right?

But now... she is lost.

Doing this, recklessly, is it really right?

Why now she increasingly can’t believe she’s doing all of this for herself? It feels like the pursuit isn’t bringing warmth but rather burden.

Even with the Eldest Princess’s entrustment, her heart still feels astringent.

Even if Lin Jiayou marries her, she wouldn’t be happy because he’s nothing more than a babysitter for the child... Thinking this way makes her even more upset; she can’t find solace, merely staring at the night sky, the desolate stars, the drifting clouds, silent...

Meanwhile, at the Forget Worries Tea House, Lin Jiayou also sat in his room, somewhat dazed.

He doesn’t know why, he keeps seeing Cong Ying’s expression and feels very sad. What exactly is this for? Did he hurt her with harsh words?

But originally... it wasn’t him begging her to come or stay, was it?

It was Cong Ying who followed him, even got hurt, when Nianan wasn’t there, making him feel he couldn’t just abandon Cong Ying, occasionally always negotiating, always choosing to soothe, choosing to let her calm down and peacefully heal...

And now, it’s like everything’s his fault?

What did he do wrong? At least, right from the start, he didn’t flirt with Cong Ying, did he?

He knows this is Lin Nianan’s mother’s good friend, adhering to the principle that ’a friend’s wife shouldn’t be trifled with’; he always chose to keep a distance from Cong Ying, after all, he’s the Eldest Princess’s man, shouldn’t let sisters turn against each other, right?

Even if he’s never been that deeply passionate, but at least, he’s a relatively committed person.

Even if the Eldest Princess has mentioned things like ’favorite concubines’, he is unwilling.

One cannot let go of love, if it could be evenly distributed among two people, what kind of love is that? What right does it have to make one go crazy?

Only when there’s someone in your heart, even in a small corner, should it not be reserved for anyone else, that’s basic, right? To every boyfriend, but why does it seem difficult for them to understand?

He’s never been the type to have multiple wives, even if he’s dated quite a few girlfriends, what can be certain is, he’s not one to cheat.

While having a girlfriend, one should ensure one’s soul and heart belong to her.

If even that can’t be done, what’s the point of dating? Just go home and hug a doll to sleep.

Girls are independent beings, not appendages!

But somehow, Cong Ying seems like... she wants to be a lesser partner in his life.

Perhaps because of this, he doesn’t like it?

After all, Cong Ying is not unattractive, she’s gentle; there’s no reason for him to always resist, right?
