During these three days, Jing Yang did not step out of the courtyard.
She seemed to be in an endless sleep, waking up only to eat, and then going back to sleep.
Early in the morning, when Xuezhu quietly opened the door, the house was still silent.
Jingyang always sleeps until the hour of Si. After opening his eyes, he has breakfast as usual.
I don’t eat too much, nor am I picky about food. It seems that I am just numbly maintaining my survival instinct.
After breakfast, she curled up in the lounge chair in front of the window, covered with a thin blanket.
Occasionally he would reach out and tease the beautiful bird perched nearby, or quietly watch the snowflakes falling outside the window without saying a word.
When Xuezhu went in again, she was usually already fast asleep, curled up in a thin blanket, breathing evenly.
This time, I slept almost until the end of the afternoon.
After waking up, she had dinner as usual, with a calm expression and no sign of anything unusual.
When Jing Kangshan heard that she wanted to eat snow lotus cake, he went to ask Duota in person to give her a snow lotus.
When the kitchen carefully prepared the pastry and brought it to Jingyang, she did not hesitate at all and ate the entire piece of snow lotus cake without saying a word, not even leaving a single crumb.
But when the delicate pastry entered her throat, she seemed to have no taste at all.
After dinner, just as it was getting dark, she said she was sleepy. After asking Xuezhu to clean up, she fell into a deep sleep.
This has been going on for the past three days.
She lived an orderly life, ate well, slept enough, as if nothing had happened.
But Xuezhu became more and more afraid.
In the past, she had heard many people say that it was always so quiet and silent before an avalanche occurred on a snowy mountain.
Wang Ji is like a silent snow mountain, appearing quiet on the outside.
But an avalanche often only requires a slight sound.
Until the day when Helian Yu was to be buried, Jingyang woke up early in the morning.
She sat quietly in front of the dressing table, Xuezhu stood behind her, combing her cloud-like black hair.
The teeth of the comb brushed through the hair, making a slight sound. Xuezhu lowered her eyes and asked cautiously:
"Wang Ji...are you going out?"
The woman in the mirror paused for a moment, then gently shook her head.
Xuezhu's hand paused, and the fingertips holding the comb turned slightly white.
She couldn't bear it any longer, she knelt down beside Jingyang, put her arms around her, and said anxiously with a choked voice,
"Princess Wang, if you feel sad, just cry..."
"I'm really worried about you being like this. Please don't hold it in, okay?"
Jingyang lowered his head and looked at Xuezhu who was hugging him with tears on her face. He was silent for a moment and slowly raised his hand.
He gently wiped the tears from her face, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but with an unconcealable fatigue and confusion.
"Xuezhu..." she called softly, with some uncertainty in her tone.
Xuezhu raised her head quickly and replied with red eyes, "Your servant is here."
Jingyang's hand fell on his knees, his fingertips slightly curled up, as if he wanted to grab something, but in the end he just clenched into an empty fist.
Her shoulders slumped slightly, and her voice was very soft and slow, like the thin snow that wouldn't melt in winter.
"It's not that I don't want to cry..."
"I just can't cry."
She raised her head, her eyes were clear, but without a trace of tears.
She looked at herself in the mirror with a dark gaze, as if examining herself or questioning herself.
"Am I cold-blooded?"
Xuezhu's heart was wrenched, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Wang Ji..." She choked with sobs and held Jingyang's hand tightly, "No... No..."
But she didn't know how to refute it.
Young Master Helian is dead, but Wang Ji hasn't shed a single tear to this day.
She didn't even show a trace of sadness, and spent the whole day in a coma, as if none of this had ever happened.
But Xuezhu knew that this was more heartbreaking than crying loudly.
Xuezhu didn't know how to comfort Jingyang, but fortunately, Jingyang said the next moment,
"Go tell the coachman to prepare the carriage..."
Xuezhu's face showed surprise. She said "OK" several times and hurried out.
Jing Yang still sat there in the same posture. After a moment, she opened the wooden box beside her.
There was a stack of letters neatly arranged inside.
She picked up the top letter.
When I opened it, I saw three words written on the top in familiar handwriting:
——Annulment of Engagement
This is the last letter Helian Yu asked Jinghong to deliver:
Breaking off engagement
The man Helian Yu and the woman Jingyang were originally engaged by their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
However, our fate is not compatible now, and our family circumstances have changed, so I am afraid it will be difficult for us to grow old together.
Helian Yu voluntarily canceled the engagement and stopped bothering her.
This book is now published as evidence, and there is no objection.
Jing Yang read it word by word, and Helian Yu signed his name at the end, leaving only the "female" column blank.
She knew from a young age that she was engaged to Helian Yu.
But neither of them took it seriously, not knowing what the engagement meant, and grew up together with a lot of quarrels.
When the parents of both sides began to seriously discuss the marriage, Jing Yang began to get scared.
For some reason, she didn't want to change their current relationship.
So she resisted with all her might and even ran away.
When she was in Dacheng, she met the completely different Yuan Musheng, and she felt that she had fallen in love with him.
Later, he felt regret and sadness because of the impossibility between the two of them.
She thought it was like, true love.
But after returning to Beiqiang, something happened to Helian Yu. When she saw him so thin and depressed, her heart was filled with heartache.
