However, Xue Yuanchu felt ashamed and unable to speak of the ridiculous days when he had hidden Xiangqin in his mansion and spent his days there.
In Tingyuxuan, Xue Yuanchu decided to confess everything and reveal his past actions, hoping to gain his wife's forgiveness and find some relief for his inner guilt.
In the Prajna Hall, old lady Hong Yingrong sat opposite Xiangqin and handed over the household registration and life deeds redeemed from Tianxiang Tower.
"This is the deed to redeem your freedom. I'll also guarantee you at the Huimin Bureau and register you as a separate household." Hong Yingrong said kindly.
Xiangqin took the two documents, looked at them carefully, and tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes.
For her, this freedom is rebirth and a new beginning.
Nanny Zhao took out a land deed and a silver note from the box beside her and presented them respectfully to the old lady.
Hong Yingrong unfolded the title deed and saw the neat seal on it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"This is a small courtyard in South City," she said to Xiangqin, pointing to the title deed. "There are shops along the street, connected to the backyard. You can rent it out or open a small store. It's all up to you. And here's this banknote, keep it for yourself."
Xiangqin looked at the land deed and the silver note with a face value of one thousand taels in front of her, and felt an indescribable emotion in her heart, but she still shook her head and knelt on her knees.
"Madam, I didn't ask for your help that day for these treasures," she said in a firm and sincere voice. "I simply wanted to find Chunhong's murderer and seek justice for her. I simply cannot accept these generous gifts."
Hong Yingrong helped Xiangqin up and said gently, "These are not just rewards for you, but also guarantees for your future life. Now that you have left Tianxiang Tower, you deserve a stable place to live."
Xiangqin's eyes welled up with tears when she heard this. She knew the old lady's intentions and concern very well. Finally, she nodded, her voice slightly choked with sobs: "Old lady, your kindness will be remembered by Xiangqin in my heart."
Hong Yingrong smiled and patted her hands, motioning her to stand up: "Good girl, there is still a long way to go in the future. You must live a good life and don't let me down."
Xiangqin stood up and tightly grasped the household registration, personal deed, land deed and banknote in her hands, as if she was holding the hope of a new life.
"I will, old lady. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
