Miss Zhang's passion and fantasy for love were suddenly shattered by the poverty and hardship of life and the dullness and boredom of Mr. Li.
Noticing that Miss Zhang was in a bad mood, he had to control his temper and comfort her: "My dear, it's my fault. I don't even have money to buy lamp oil."
"When I pass the imperial examination, I will light candles all over the house for you. You can enjoy the moon if you want. As long as you are happy, I will let you do whatever you want."
Despite Li Xiucai's sweet words, Miss Zhang's mind was full of today's wild vegetables. When she thought about having to eat wild vegetables for the rest of her life, she was frightened and cleared her mind.
She even began to reflect that she could go out to enjoy the moon right now, and she would be willing to do so even in the dark.
But Li Lang didn't take any action at all.
He only knows to say later, later...
How long will it be later?!
Seeing that Li Lang had no intention of leaving the bed and even reached out his hands to touch her body, Miss Zhang was startled and immediately made an excuse: "Li Lang, please sleep outside tonight."
"I have been weak since I was a child, and I always take medicine."
"But after I broke up with my parents today, cough cough..."
"I didn't even take my medicine today. I'm feeling a little under the weather."
This was originally agreed upon with Gu Sang.
Gu Sang persuaded her parents to let her experience eating wild vegetables for ten days.
She promised Gu Sang that she would never have a relationship with Li Lang.
Originally, she just regarded it as an agreement. If Li Lang was firm, she would actually be willing to do it...
But after experiencing a day's life, Miss Zhang's words seemed to be quite sincere, and perhaps she should think about it carefully.
The strange, cold, hard bed, the odd smell, and the occasional squeaking of mice.
These things made Miss Zhang think a lot and she couldn't fall asleep.
She thought that being with her beloved man would make her happy, joyful, delighted and excited, but now she felt more confused than happy.
After hearing the sound of Li Xiucai sleeping, Miss Zhang spoke in a low voice:
"Goddess, why is it different from what I imagined?"
"Besides, I thought everything he said to me was sweet before, but now, I actually feel a little scared. But this is wrong. I shouldn't-"
Gu Sang interrupted her while gnawing on a fried chicken leg.
As Miss Zhang swallowed her saliva furiously, Gu Sang smiled and said, "That's because you're distracted by your emotions. Your focus is on how your parents are preventing you from pursuing your own happiness."
"You think your parents are snobbish and favor the rich. You just want to prove to them that your Li Lang is very capable. You want to escape from your parents' control."
"Now that your parents are no longer standing in your way, you're faced with stark reality."
“When two people are really together, the first problem you face is the problem of survival.”
"When you're broke, all the beautiful and romantic things you imagine don't exist. You think you'll have simple meals, but in reality, you can't even afford to eat. You can't imagine the helplessness and collapse of the poor over a penny, so you feel a psychological gap."
"But you're still holding on. You don't want to give up. You still want to prove that your vision is right. So wait a few more days. What you're mainly looking at is how this man treats you when you have no one to rely on."
"And his plans for your future, you need to see these clearly for yourself."
Miss Zhang nodded seriously. Only now did she understand the goddess's kindness and her parents' love.
But she still has expectations for love.
As she was thinking, her stomach suddenly began to hurt severely. She must have upset her delicate stomach from eating wild vegetables. She hurriedly shook Li Xiucai's arm and wanted to go to the toilet.
Gu Sang here has already turned off the live broadcast.
Seeing that Miss Zhang was able to analyze the situation from an outsider's perspective and knowing that she would not be easily deceived by men again, Gu Sang turned his attention to another matter.
Although the number of people in Plague City has increased a lot, it is still too few for the eldest princess.
Moreover, the Plague City is currently developing, and some concepts and knowledge must also keep up.
Gu Sang made appointments online with several experts in herbal cultivation and fish farming, hoping to invite them to teach the people of Plague City some planting knowledge.
The appointment was for a few days later, so Gu Sang set an alarm in case he forgot.
After doing these things, she prepared to continue watching the real-life script of Miss Zhang and Li Xiucai.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
"Sangsang, today is Sunday. Do you have time to go home for dinner?"
Mother Gu's cautious voice came through the phone.
Gu Sang opened her mouth to refuse, but after feeling her mother's careful protection and thinking of Gu Qing's sparkling eyes, she said, "Okay."
After experiencing so many things and hardships, Gu Sang figured it out.
I wish she had grandma's love.
There was no need to worry about the different treatment her parents gave her. They had raised her since she was little, so they would definitely be more partial to her.
Because I care, I feel heartbroken.
As long as you don't care, then it doesn't matter how your parents treat you.
Her relationship with her parents doesn't have to be so cold and distant as to be like enemies. She just needs to maintain a superficial relationship.
After agreeing on a time with Gu's mother, Gu Sang hung up the phone.
When Gu Sang opened the connection with Miss Zhang again, he was startled by the woman's crying.
“Wuwuwu——”
??? What’s going on?
What happened when she wasn't paying attention?
Feeling connected, Miss Zhang quickly wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief: "Goddess, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. This is my mother, whom you met last time."
The connected screen appeared in front of the two people.
After seeing the slowly emerging screen, Zhang's mother kowtowed three times to Gu Sang in gratitude.
"Goddess, thank you for helping me wake up in time."
"My daughter has just come back to apologize to us, saying that she understands our painstaking efforts and that the scholar is not a good match."
"This is all thanks to you. If it weren't for your help, my little girl would have been kidnapped long ago."
Gu Sang breathed a sigh of relief. She had promised Zhang's parents that Miss Zhang would definitely come back with a clean slate.
If it weren't for the fact that my live broadcast image had earned the trust of Zhang's parents, I wouldn't have been able to convince them to let my daughter live with a man.
Seeing the two crying just now, Gu Sang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Miss Zhang was being bullied.
"It's good that Miss Zhang woke up in time. In the future, when you encounter such things, be more observant and don't get carried away by love."
Mother Zhang and Miss Zhang thanked Gu Sang profusely again and said:
"Goddess, my master, in gratitude for saving my daughter, has arranged for someone to send 500,000 taels of silver to Plague City to the eldest princess."
"Please accept it, Princess. If you can help my daughter find her way back to the right path, it will be worth far more than these five hundred thousand taels of silver."
