Chapter 127 Immortality

After eating a few bites, Huo Sang ordered someone to help the queen back to her room. They had to pass by Pei Xiangwan, and they passed by quietly, accompanied by a strange smell.

Pei Xiangwan frowned unconsciously. She didn't like the mixture of fishy smell and strong perfume, which made the smell even worse.

Everything went on in silence. Pei Xiangwan finished her meal and prepared to get up and leave. She looked up and found that Huo Sang was still there. She couldn't believe that someone's presence could be so low, so she asked first.

"Princess, do you have anything to say?"

The flickering candlelight cast a small shadow on Hawthorne's face, and her eyes were empty and lifeless.

"Are you used to life here? This isn't a good place. It's remote and the power lines will break down when it rains."

Pei Xiangwan sat very straight and answered seriously, "I'm still getting used to it, but the scenery here is very nice."

"If it's good, finish the work quickly and leave before the chaos breaks out."

She thought Hawthorne was such a weird guy, always leaving behind something puzzling.

But later this weirdo caused her to lose contact with Jiang Shiyuan, and they became addicted to each other, which made Jiang Shiyuan even more insecure.

…

On a bright afternoon, Pei Xiangwan was walking in a secluded garden when he saw two maids talking secretly to each other.

Pei Xiangwan didn't have big ears, so he didn't have the time to pay attention, but these two people were like cuckoos perched on a telephone pole, chirping and it was hard not to hear them.

"The king will probably never come back."

"Who knows? The punishment is still too light for what he did to his wife and children."

"Has he really gained immortality?"

At this time, a roar came from behind Pei Xiangwan, scaring the two people who were slacking off.

"Have you finished your work? Are you afraid that people won't know you're slacking off?"

The two apologized repeatedly, and their eyes were full of panic when they looked at Pei Xiangwan. They were obviously afraid of her.

The garden was always peaceful, but Pei Xiangwan's heart was still restless. She suddenly remembered that the questions Hawthorne had asked her were too strange, and even the maid was weird.

Moreover, the novel does not describe the trip to Italy in detail, but jumps directly to returning home. All the unknowns are endlessly terrifying.

The current task is to complete the last few steps of the necklace and leave as soon as possible.

So Pei Xiangwan worked very hard in the next few days, but she would not show her eagerness to leave.

The original plan was for two months, but Pei Xiangwan completed it in just one month. She placed the inlaid feather necklace in an exquisite little box and put it in her pocket.

I had planned to give it to Hawthorne after dinner, but I didn't expect him to appear by the Green Lake.

She ignored the golden threads fluttering in the wind and the contact of her white princess dress with the cold lake water.

She seemed to be living in her own world, and Pei Xiangwan didn't dare to approach her.

They stood there one in front of the other, welcoming the sunset. The setting sun rolled behind the mountain like a round egg yolk, burning the white clouds. Hawthorne couldn't bear to see the last piece of destruction and decided to leave. She stretched her feet that had been standing for a long time.

After a while, she turned around and exclaimed when she saw Pei Xiangwan.

"Why is Miss Pei here?"

Meeting her inquiring gaze, Pei Xiangwan said without panic, "Because I think it's beautiful, I come here every day."

Huo Sang didn't think Pei Xiangwan was lying. After all, everything here belonged to her now. Her emerald green eyes, as she lowered her eyes, showed no emotion.

"It's really beautiful. I haven't been here for a long time. It looked even better before. If people don't change, no, those who pretend deserve to die."

Seeing Huo Sang suddenly shivering, Pei took a few steps forward and asked if she felt cold. Huo Sang shook her head and walked away from her, heading towards the palace.

Pei Xiangwan hesitated for a few seconds before catching up with the other person. She was almost tripped by a small stone. She kicked the stone away and continued running. She ran to Huo Sang and said.

"Princess, I have already made your necklace. Please see if there is anything that needs to be changed."

Hawthorne looked down at the small box handed to her, and suddenly she smiled, the cold smile covered by the aristocratic aura. She took the box and played with it, her tone extremely cold.

"Ms. Pei has accomplished something extraordinary. She is indeed someone I value."

As she spoke, she opened the box. The moment she opened it, surprise flashed in Huo Sang's eyes. She had never chosen Pei Xiangwan because of his design talent. She naturally knew that Pei Xiangwan had a bad reputation.

In order to make Allen believe that she really had a strange disease and became crazy, she had to pretend that she had no judgment, so she chose Pei Xiangwan. Allen was very satisfied with her choice. He thought from the beginning that Pei Xiangwan was not presentable, so she did as he wished.

Not only that, the witch lied to Allen, telling him that if she succeeded in taking away the lifespan, the person whose lifespan was taken away would turn into a beast and eat raw food, and would go crazy every three days.

Because he has gone crazy and his mind is full of immortality, he has no time to care about truth or falsehood, so just act according to his wishes.

So she brought her mother along to perform, no, the servants in the palace were also extras, and there were also some disobedient ones, so it was very easy for Mo Xing to get rid of them.

She didn't believe that girls couldn't inherit the throne, and she didn't believe that girls had to make sacrifices, be beaten and scolded, and rely on others just because they existed on earth. She believed in the strength of women, so she resolutely took her mother away from the bloody field.

If the bloody field has not been completely cleaned up for decades, there will inevitably be chaos.

If Pei Xiangwan hadn't heard the conversation between the maids that day, she would have let her go because she was innocent and didn't belong here.

In the necklace she felt free, absolutely free.

After bidding farewell to winter, the wind still makes people shiver. As the box closes, Hawthorne says words against his will.

"I'm very dissatisfied with your work, Ms. Pei."

After the clouds burned, the whole sky was light purple. Pei Xiangwan looked at Huo Sang with his clear black eyes without any distractions, and said in an unchanged tone.

"Then what do I need to change, Princess?"

Hawthorne replied in seconds, "All of them. I'll keep this for now and compare it with your next one."

The figure gradually went away, and the mud on the edge of the white skirt also disappeared. Pei Xiangwan did not chase after her this time.

She stared blankly at the tiny lake, just like her tiny self, trying desperately to squeeze forward, but when she looked back again, she still hadn't grown.

Can she bring happiness to Jiang Shiyuan?

…

The full moon hung high in the sky, symbolizing perfection. Although Pei Xiangwan was smiling while video chatting with Jiang Shiyuan on the other end of the phone, her bitter smile still made Jiang Shiyuan feel bitter.

"What happened to Wanwan? Were you bullied?"

Pei Xiangwan's smile froze for a few seconds, then quickly recovered. She covered it up with a smile.

"No, no one can bully me."

Jiang Shiyuan obviously didn't believe it. She squinted her eyes, moved closer, wrinkled her nose and said firmly.

"Don't lie to me. You're like a bitter melon when you're down. Did I offend you? But I didn't cling too much. I really understand Wanwan's hard work."

Pei Xiangwan couldn't resist Jiang Shiyuan. She knew that he took the blame just to trick her, but she was willing to fall into the trap.

"Will Jiang Jiang think I'm useless? I don't know what's going on this time, but I feel like the design is all wrong. It's so far from what I expected."
