Chen Wei's parents gave her unconditional love, taught her to be independent, to be self-reliant, and to love herself, and to teach her about the dangers of human nature. A girl who grows up in such a family atmosphere will never lack love.

Everyone says that Xie Yuchuan is good to her, but how good can Xie Yuchuan be to her?

No matter how good she is, she can never surpass her parents.

Chen Wei was not the kind of person who would be moved by a bowl of porridge. She clearly knew what she needed to know and what she should do. She looked at Aunt Zhao with burning eyes and said, "I am fighting for my own destiny."

"Aunt Zhao, now you know what you should do to become the one and only person who attracts Xie Yuchuan?"

Aunt Zhao was stunned.

destiny........

Is destiny something you strive for?

Isn’t it true that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog?

What women pray for when they burn incense and pray to Buddha is nothing more than to have a loving and caring husband, because their fate is in the hands of their husbands.

Looking at Chen Wei's sincere and determined eyes, Aunt Zhao suddenly felt that this shouldn't be the case. Fate shouldn't be manipulated by others. She seemed to understand a little, but she didn't understand...

Aunt Zhao was stunned by the question.

Chen Wei sighed, raised his hand, patted her head and said, "Let me ask you, what are the rules you have learned since you were a child?"

"It's about being obedient to your husband, being gentle and considerate, being virtuous without being talented, and carrying on the family line. No matter what your husband does, you must be tolerant and understanding. He is the heaven for you and all the wives and concubines in the harem, right?"

"Whether you are happy in this life depends entirely on whether your husband is a good man, right?"

Aunt Zhao nodded.

yes,

All unmarried women in the harem will be instilled with this idea before they get married.

They restrain themselves all the time, becoming tools to support their husbands and raise their children, and becoming nourishment to support their husbands. All the rules and things they learn are for the purpose of winning their husbands' favor.

If the husband has a conscience, the couple can live in harmony. If not...

Then you can only comfort yourself that it’s fate.

"Then from now on, you are your own sky!"

"From now on, ask yourself what you want and what you want to do. Start with small wishes and tell me, what is the one thing you want to do most right now?"

Aunt Zhao opened her mouth in sudden realization.

What she wants...

She wanted the exclusive favor of the Marquis, she wanted to rise in rank, she wanted a boy to rely on for the rest of her life... But was this really what she wanted? Was this what her soul longed for?

Suddenly.

Aunt Zhao recalled that day when she secretly stood outside the room and listened to the conversation between Qin Shuyu and Chen Wei in the room.

Chen Wei said that the reason she was different from the other women here was because she had traveled thousands of miles, read thousands of books, seen the sunrise over the mountains, seen snow falling all over the city, and had seen the heavens and the earth...

Sunrise in the mountains,

Snow fell all over the city,

The desert is full of flying sand,

Read thousands of books,

Travel thousands of miles.

As soon as these words passed through her mind, Aunt Zhao's chest felt hot. She raised her head, looked directly into Chen Wei's bright and confident eyes, and said, "I, I want to watch the sunrise over the mountains."

"In the past, I could only look up at the midday sky from my house."

"Now, I want to see if it's really different if I look from a high place..."

Aunt Zhao wanted to see and try it.

Would it really be different if you walked those roads that Chen Wei had taken?

"Okay!" Chen Wei agreed immediately: "Then I will take you to the mountains to watch the sunrise and show you if it is really different."

“Miss Shen, after reading this, can I become like you?”

"No, you are still you. You can never become someone else, but after reading this, you may understand why you are different from me."

"good."

"I want to go."

"Girl, Xiaoman wants to go too."

The carriage moved slowly and stopped at the gate of Linghuang Temple.

Ever since the news of Miss Lin's reputation being ruined spread, the Linghuang Temple, which was once bustling with people, became deserted.

When Chen Wei arrived.

An old Taoist priest and several young Taoist priests wearing gray robes were standing in front of the temple. Hearing footsteps, the old Taoist priest in the lead slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Chen Wei.

This glance!

It seems like a lifetime ago.

Tens of thousands of days have passed.

There was some surprise in Chen Wei's eyes. This Linghuang Temple had become so desolate that the Taoist priest had to personally welcome guests?

"Hello, Taoist priests."

The old Taoist priest nodded and smiled kindly and complicatedly: "Miss, long time no see."

Long time no see?

Have we... met?

Chen Wei didn't remember being in Linghuang Temple. Had she been there? Had she not been there? Why did the old Taoist priest speak so gravely? "Master, have we met before?"

The old Taoist priest smiled without saying a word and welcomed Chen Wei and others into the temple.

Chen Wei couldn't remember that he had been here all the way. It didn't matter if he couldn't remember it. It wasn't a big deal after all.

There are guest rooms in the backyard of Linghuang Temple.

Chen Wei took Aunt Zhao to donate some silver and asked for two guest rooms to stay in.

After arranging accommodation for the night, Chen Wei found a Taoist priest to perform a ritual to comfort the two unborn children, hoping that they could find a good family in their next life.

I don’t know if this will help, but it will make me feel better.

"The girl is kind-hearted and will get what she wants in the future."

"The vegetarian hall is not far ahead. You can go there on your own. However, the front lake is under construction recently and you can't go there. If you have nothing to do, you can just walk around the temple and don't go to the front lake."

"There's a mountain path at the back of the mountain. There are many snakes and rats at this time of year, so be sure not to go into the mountain."

The old Taoist priest came over, bowed to Chen Wei from a distance of three meters, and told him some things to pay attention to.

Qianhu Lake is where Miss Lin fell into the water.

I think it was temporarily blocked because of this incident.

Chen Wei knelt on the futon, listening to the old Taoist priest's kind instructions, and stood up and said gratefully: "Thank you, Taoist priest, I understand everything."

"In that case, then the old Taoist will..."

"Master, I heard that the wishing lanterns in Linghuang Temple are very effective. I want to light a wishing lantern. Could you please help me?" Chen Wei asked through the curtain with a look of expectation.

Wishing Lanterns........

The young Taoist priest next to him changed his expression slightly when he heard this, and he was about to open his mouth to refuse.

The old Taoist priest suddenly looked deeply at Chen Wei. He clearly couldn't see what the person behind the curtain looked like, but Chen Wei opposite him felt that the Taoist priest seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

He laughed, interrupting the young Taoist priest's words and said, "Of course you can. Please follow me, young lady."

The young Taoist priest turned around in shock: "Master, you......"

"It's okay." The old Taoist priest patted the young Taoist priest's shoulder to show his comfort.

What happened, Master?

It has long been forbidden to light wishing lanterns.

Why would the master break the rules for this woman?
