"Sister Pan, I really don't know what to do."
She cried out pitifully, her body trembling slightly. Perhaps because she was talking about something so painful, she buried her face in her hands for a long time, not wanting to look up and let Pan Luxiu see her vulnerable side.
Pan Luxiu opened her mouth, and the autumn evening light slanted into her eyes. She looked up for a while and felt that it was dazzling, but what did that matter? It was nothing compared to the impact that Zhu Jiayu's matter had had on her.
She was absolutely stunned.
How could there be such a man in this world...
Zhu Jiayu finally looked up, her slightly red and swollen eyes gazing at her earnestly, filled with unspeakable anticipation and trust, as if she truly hoped that Pan Luxiu could offer her some sound advice.
Pan Luxiu thought for a long time and said, "How about... you think of a way to get revenge on him?"
She herself didn't really have a solution, after all, it was the first time she'd ever heard of such a thing, but now, after saying those words, it was as if a flash of inspiration had struck her, and her thoughts became clear:
"It would be best to ruin this person's reputation. Since he is poor and has concealed the fact that he already has a family, he must be coveting your family's wealth and power."
“Such a person must cherish his reputation very much. If you want to get revenge on him, the most effective way is to start from there and let him experience what it means to wish he were dead.”
After saying that, she looked at Zhu Jiayu cautiously, "Since he did such a thing, you absolutely must not have anything to do with him anymore."
Zhu Jiayu held the teacup in a daze. She blinked, and a single tear fell into the tea, creating a ripple. "But Sister Pan, I really...like him. Besides, he has a wife and children at home. If I really did something to him, what would happen to his wife and children..."
Pan Luxiu, fearing she might make a mistake, quickly said, "This man is rotten to the core. You pity him now, but he may not be grateful and might even resent you in the future. Besides, although he has a wife and children, his actions clearly show that he doesn't care about them. If you want what's best for them, you should expose what he's done and not keep them in the dark any longer!"
"You really think so?"
“I really think so.” Pan Luxiu nodded emphatically.
Zhu Jiayu sighed, and when she spoke again, her expression was completely different from before. She still spoke in the calm tone she had when they first met, when she stood in front of Pan Luxiu to speak up for her and help her escape:
"Since you treat me with such sincerity, I can't lie to you anymore. What I just told you wasn't actually about me, but it did happen."
Pan Luxiu was caught off guard by her sudden change: "Huh?"
Zhu Jiayu looked into her eyes, "Or perhaps, sister, you don't want to believe me, so just take what I say as a story. The rich young lady in the story is named Ning Wan, the younger sister of a third-rank official, and the scholar has some connection with you, sister; his name is—"
