“Besides…” Ye Qingyue’s eyes were slightly red, “Lianzi and Rengui died because of me. Do you think I can still be with Shen Ci with peace of mind?”

Ye Qingyue's words instantly choked everyone in Lu Ying's throat.

"Lianzi and Rengui won't blame you."

Ye Qingyue smiled lightly, and the red in his eyes deepened a little: "They don't blame me, but I blame myself."

Ye Qingyue slowly took out a letter: "Aunt, I know you will come today. Please help me deliver this letter to Shen Ci and tell her that he and I are not destined to be together. I wish him to find a good wife in the future."

Lu Ying held the letter tightly and asked, "Are you sure?"

Ye Qingyue lowered his head and no longer looked at her. Silence represented everything.

Until Lu Ying left with the letter, Ye Qingyue sat there in a daze, slowly opening his tightly clenched hands.

Five crescent-shaped nail marks were sunk into the delicate palm, and blood was oozing out.

"Aci..." she murmured softly.

-

Shen Ci slowly closed the letter, his expression very calm.

After leaving Ye Mansion, Lu Ying came to Yipinzhai, gave the letter to Shen Ci, and told him exactly what Ye Qingyue had said.

"Xiao Ci, don't you blame her?" Lu Ying thought Shen Ci would be hysterical after reading the letter, but he was not. He was very calm, but his eyes were red.

Shen Ci shook his head and gestured.

I don't blame her. I know she loves me, and I know she tried her best, and that's enough. It's just that the result wasn't satisfactory. I really don't blame her.

Shen Ci gently wiped the corners of his eyes and calmed his emotions.

[Lu Ying, please help me bring something back to her.]

Shen Ci returned to his room, carefully took out a small brocade box from the cabinet, and rubbed it gently with his fingertips.

She handed the small brocade box to Lu Ying.

Please return it to her for me and tell me, just say that I don't blame her. I know she tried her best, but we are just not meant to be. I also hope she is happy. I have no regrets meeting her and falling in love with her in this life.

Lu Ying held the brocade box tightly. She wanted to say, "I can accompany you and give you happiness." But she thought about it and felt that the timing was not right.

only……

Qingyue, auntie has already given Chen Ci to you once before, and you two couldn't be together. Now, I won't give in again. The happiness you can give to Chen Ci, I can give it to her too, and I will spend the rest of my life giving her more.

As soon as Lu Ying left, Shen Ci could no longer hold back his tears.

"Xiao Ci." Qing'er came in and hugged her brother, her eyes full of heartache.

He had known for a long time that it would be very difficult for Xiao Ci to be with Ye Qingyue, but he did not stop her. Now seeing her brother so sad, she felt bad too.

"Brother, I'm fine. I'm only crying this once, and I won't cry again, at least not for Ye Qingyue. I don't blame her, it's just that we weren't meant to be together, fate played tricks on us. But she's getting married, and she'll have a husband and children, so I won't get entangled with her anymore. I know, life always has to move forward, so you don't have to worry about me."

Qing'er wiped the tears from Shen Ci's face and sighed slightly.

He wasn't worried, but he felt distressed.

Shen Ci was only fourteen years old. For the past fourteen years, he had seen the reality clearly and been content with it. Until he met Ye Qingyue, he knew in his heart that it would be extremely difficult for him and Ye Qingyue to be together. But this time he wanted to be unrealistic, to risk it all, to gamble, but in the end, he still failed miserably.
