Chapter 646: Erya Points the Way

"Second Miss, I really can't help it, I really can't help it..."

"I don't believe it." Erya sneered, "You dare to burn your boats and choose to attack the prince. Tell me, you have no other choice?"

It's nothing more than wanting a better life.

"Everyone wants a better life, I won't say anything about that," Arya continued, "but don't you feel the slightest bit of guilt towards the prince?"

"You thought he wouldn't suffer any loss because he was a man, but you also know that I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes! Even so, you still came."

Erya only now understood why He Si had been secretly looking at her during the meal.

It turned out that he was weighing whether or not to let her go in the future.

"Even if I turn the world upside down, make the prince lose face and make his life miserable, you think it's okay? Just because your life is hard and you have no choice, you can drag us into it at will?" Erya stared at her.

Who is weaker and who is right?

"If you really feel you have no way out, just kill your unkind stepmother, your father who is practically nothing, and your step-sister who bullies you. I'd respect your courage!" She said in a cold tone, "But you don't dare! You only dare to accuse innocent people?"

He Si was nailed to the spot by these heartbreaking words, his face as pale as paper. Then, as if waking from a dream, he kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead thumping against the ground: "Second Miss, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. But I can't kill them, I still have my aunt-"

Yun Ting is the only life-saving straw she can grasp.

"I dreamed that the prince would take a fancy to me and take me out of the sea of ​​suffering. But I never thought that the deep love between you and the prince would be affected by me. I was wrong, I was really wrong."

The second girl turned her gaze to Yun Ting beside her.

Yun Ting's face turned pale, and his disgust was evident: "Let them clean up the He family's mess themselves."

He really had bad luck today as he stepped in dog shit.

The second girl looked at He Si, who was kowtowed on the ground, and her expression softened slightly. "Since she knows she's wrong, she's better than that He San. Well, I'll help her this time."

"You are not allowed to help her! I don't want her!" Yun Ting was angry and aggrieved.

When He Si heard this, tears flashed in his eyes and he looked at the second girl sadly with humble hope.

"Don't worry," the second girl gave Yun Ting a soothing look. "I'm only helping her by pointing her out. I won't cause any trouble for myself. You've been out for a long time. Go back to the table first. We'll talk in detail when we get home tonight."

"You are not allowed to keep her." Yun Ting emphasized again worriedly.

"I believed you. Nothing would happen even if she hugged me. Why don't you believe that I have a brain?" Erya joked with a smile.

Yun Ting's expression eased slightly, and he glared at He Si again, then told Erya: "When you're done, go back early. I don't want to stay here anymore."

If you stay in a filthy place for even a moment longer, you will vomit out the food you ate the previous night.

"Um."

Erya watched him leave and said to He Si, who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up. You've made a mistake. The prince is not a man who sympathizes with women. Today you've made a mistake."

He Si had been kneeling for so long that his legs became numb and he stood up with difficulty.

"I am willing to guide you today because you still have a sense of shame and repentance, not because I am doing well and I owe you anything."

Because He Si does still have a sense of shame.

Moreover, when people are in despair, they will try all kinds of treatments, but they will understand the truth afterwards and there is still some hope for their survival.

He Si's situation was indeed miserable, and Mrs. He's harsh treatment was outrageous.

In this world, if a concubine's daughter meets an unkind mother, it will be like falling into the abyss.

Marriage is almost the only hope.

He Si's path has been completely blocked.

He Si was so ashamed that he lowered his head and dared not look directly at her. He just kept admitting his mistakes in a low voice.

"If I were you, now that the marriage is set in stone, I should start to find out the rich businessman's temperament and preferences." Arya pointed out the key.

He Si looked up in surprise, unable to react for a moment.

"Since you think throwing yourself into the prince's arms will be useful, you must be somewhat confident about your appearance." Erya said bluntly.

This is indeed the case.

He Si was born with a good-looking appearance.

"Since that wealthy businessman is fond of beautiful women, wouldn't it be exactly what he wants if you catered to his tastes?"

"You think you can survive as a lowly concubine in a Duke's mansion; why do you believe that being the wife of a wealthy merchant, with the respectability of your family behind you, will lead to your downfall?"

"Every house in this world is a fighting ground."

"With your scheming and tactics, you'd have a better chance of success if you went to that wealthy merchant."

"If you're not afraid of death, what's the point of having a face? The status of a wife, the manners of a concubine, you can use whatever is convenient for you."

Just don't treat the wealthy businessman as your husband, your stepmother, or your superior.

"Survive first, live well first, then plan for other things."

"I've seen countless people. As for women who have a bit of tenacity and aren't too stupid, no matter how low their starting point is, it's rare to find one or two out of ten who don't end up having a good life."

Everyone’s starting point is different, that’s fate.

But the real skill is to play a bad hand well.

"If I were to advise you to strive for the title of Duke's wife, that would be easy. But being the second wife of a wealthy businessman and holding him in your power, how difficult would that be? Is it harder than death?"

Admittedly, He Si's situation is difficult.

But this cannot be changed.

Since we cannot change it, we can only adapt and try our best to improve it.

Never try to snatch the good cards from others just because you hold a bad hand.

That will get you chopped off.

"Since you're young and admit your mistakes, I'll forgive you today," Arya said. "You should also thank my mother for advising me to be more lenient with others. But next time you run into someone else, you won't be so lucky."

"Thank you, Second Miss, for your kindness!"

Congratulations and express your gratitude from the bottom of your heart.

The second girl pointed out a path for her that she had never imagined.

At first, I felt like the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. I was so panicked that I resorted to this desperate measure, thinking of dying.

Now, after this enlightenment, there is a glimmer of hope in the despair.

She is young and beautiful, and her family background is still good. As long as she is willing to lose face and try her best to please him, she may be able to make a living.

Stand firm, take things step by step, and there is still room for improvement in the future.

"Let's go back together. Your stepmother has already sent people to look for you. Come up with a good excuse. As long as it's not too exaggerated, I can help you cover up the lie."

He Si thanked him repeatedly.

As she walked, she said, "In that case, I'll say that I fell down and it was thanks to the second lady that she helped me."

Erya said "hmm" lightly.

She didn't know what would happen to He Si in the next few days, but she tried her best.

In life, everyone has to walk their own path.
