Chapter 132: The world is too hard, I won’t come back in the next life
The original owner was timid and often bullied.
Among those who bullied the original owner was the manager of the village.
The manager of Zhuangzi's house was a greedy, lustful villain who forgot his principles when it came to profit.
After the original owner grew up, the steward was eyeing her covetously.
Finally, late one night,
The drunken steward broke into the original owner's room with bad intentions.
It was Jixiang who fell from the sky, bit the manager tightly and drove him away.
From then on, Jixiang would go out for a walk every day during the day and would come back to protect her before dark.
Jixiang is the original owner's family member.
They are the original owner’s real family, the only family.
This was her only family member who died in her so-called "home".
Xie Yingmian felt a stuffy and dull pain in his chest, as if something was tearing his heart apart.
Sadness, despair, anger, helplessness.
These emotions filled my internal organs in an instant.
Xie Yingmian knew,
This emotion is not hers, but belongs to the original owner.
Xie Yingmian knew early on that the original owner still had a last bit of consciousness left.
That trace of consciousness was very weak.
So weak that it barely exists at all.
To be precise, it is not consciousness, but concern.
The original owner was concerned about Jixiang, so he was reluctant to leave.
Xie Yingmian planned to take Jixiang to the Full Moon Inn in order to fulfill the original owner's last wish.
Unfortunately, she came too late.
"I'm sorry." Xie Yingmian lowered her eyes.
If she could come earlier,
If she could take Jixiang away earlier,
If she could come back on the third day,
Perhaps, the tragedy would not have happened.
"I don't blame you." A faint, trembling voice came from my mind, "I know your situation back then."
"It's not easy for you to survive in that dangerous palace."
"Alright, alright."
"Jixiang is gone, so it's time for me to go too. It has two lame legs and walks slowly. If I walk faster, I should be able to catch up with it on the Yellow Springs Road."
"Oh, you're right. I did save an old man ten years ago."
"He didn't teach me medicine, nor did he teach me witchcraft, but he gave me something, and that was what allowed me to summon you."
"Please forgive me for summoning you here without permission."
"I don't know why it turned out like this. I originally wanted to try my best to survive, but maybe this thought was too strong, and I ended up summoning you here."
"After summoning you, you lived in the palace in my place. You handled everything with ease. I didn't have to do anything but watch you silently. This is the first time in my life that I've felt so relaxed. I... I don't know how to express my gratitude."
"Anyway, thank you for setting me free."
“This world is too hard.”
"In my next life, I don't want to come here anymore. Jixiang should be the same as me. We won't come here anymore."
"Goodbye. Jixiang and I will bless you in the afterlife."
The faint voice dissipated in my mind.
Xie Yingmian, who was originally immersed in sadness, suddenly shuddered.
"What did you say?"
"What did the old man give you?"
"How did you summon me?"
No one answered, and there was no more movement in his mind.
Xie Yingmian knew that the last trace of the original owner's consciousness had also dissipated.
"Sister Mianmian, who are you talking to?" Wen Juexia looked around vigilantly, "Is there anyone nearby?"
"No one is here, I'm just talking to myself." Xie Yingmian came back to his senses.
She sighed.
The original owner really left her with a big suspense.
People really should tell fewer lies.
Look, the lie I told suddenly became true one day.
But that's okay.
The closed loop completes the final contact with the original owner.
From now on, she won't have to feel guilty about her casual remarks.
"Xia Xia, take off Jixiang's fur." Xie Yingmian said.
Wen Juexia went to get the fur.
The people in the kitchen tried to stop it.
The pattern on this piece of dog skin is very special, so they kept it on purpose, hoping to sell it for a good price after processing it.
Wen Juexia was murderous and had sharp eyes.
The people in the kitchen bully the weak and fear the strong, so no one dared to step forward.
Xie Yingmian folded the auspicious fur and put it away.
The original owner never said he wanted revenge.
That kind and timid girl suffered and endured all her life.
Before he disappeared, he just told her that this life was too hard and he would not come back in the next life.
But, dear silly girl.
The more cowardly you are, the more aggressive they will become.
The more inferior you are, the more arrogant they become.
The more you compromise, the more they will push you further.
"I will help you take the revenge you don't want to take." Xie Yingmian said in his heart,
"All the suffering you've endured in this life was caused by humans. There's no reason why you should be tortured to death while they enjoy wealth and glory."
There is no such thing in the world.
Wen Juexia followed behind Xie Yingmian, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Xie Yingmian said, "No need to hold it in."
Wen Juexia scratched his head: "I don't quite understand."
"Sister Mianmian is the eldest daughter of the Xie family, but the Xie family's attitude towards you is very strange. It seems like that old witch in the Xie family has a grudge against you."
"And the young master of the Xie family, what's his name? Xie Baozhang, right? Is he your biological brother?"
"Is the current Marquis of the Xie family your biological mother?"
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "I am the eldest daughter of the Xie family, but Madam Xie Hou is not my biological mother."
"I don't remember my biological mother."
"I was thrown onto the farm when I was very young, and my only companion was my wet nurse."
"I once asked my wet nurse about my mother, but she couldn't explain it clearly. She just said that my mother died young and that my grandmother and my mother had different personalities."
"There is no doubt that my biological mother was married to Xie Tao through formal marriage. Xie Tao is the name of Marquis Xie, otherwise I wouldn't have been given the title of eldest daughter."
"After my mother died, Xie Tao remarried, and she gave birth to three more children."
"The eldest daughter is Xie Baoyu, who is about my age. This shows that they have been hooking up for a long time."
"My second son, Xie Baozhang, is two or three years younger than Xie Baoyu, and my youngest daughter, Xie Baozhu, is not even ten years old this year."
"At first, they didn't acknowledge me as their eldest daughter."
"Prince Ling needs a bride who will bring good luck to the emperor, and the status of the bride cannot be too low. In order to find a suitable candidate, the Concubine Dowager promised many benefits and a lot of betrothal gifts."
"Prince Ling was about to die at that time, and if she married him, she would almost be buried with him."
"Other families are reluctant to let their daughters die, but the Xie family has evil intentions."
"The Xie family took me back and restored my status as the eldest legitimate daughter, simply to sell me for a good price."
Wen Juexia understood.
To put it bluntly, Sister Mianmian is a poor little girl who has no love from her father, no care from her mother, and whose mother died early.
Wen Juexia felt that it was pitiful that he was thrown into the mountains to learn martial arts since he was a child.
But, compared to Sister Mianmian, she has parents and an older sister, and she is much happier.
"Sister Mianmian, from now on, you can always order me around. I will go through fire and water without a word."
Xie Yingmian said, "Even if I have to go through fire and water, I'll forget about it."
"Are you afraid of dogs?"
Wen Juexia chuckled: "Don't be afraid."
"Then come with me to beat the dog." Xie Yingmian took Wen Juexia through twists and turns and arrived outside a yard.
