Five years ago, Yue Kingdom.
The biggest difference between the Moon Kingdom and other kingdoms is not only that the people are beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but also that every scene you capture exudes gentleness and tranquility, just like the woman in front of Rong Ying.
He and Xiange were separated and then reunited. Xiange had dressed up as an ordinary farm girl, with a jade hairpin in her hair.
There were four or five brick and tile houses where she lived, with vegetable gardens in front of and behind the houses. A gravel path branched off from the middle of the vegetable garden in the front yard, and each vegetable garden on both sides was surrounded by a fence.
The sunlight was warm but not scorching; the dazzling golden light shone on the bamboo chair and on Xiange, who was sitting in the bamboo chair holding her child.
She was enveloped in a halo of light, and the smile on her face never faded from the moment Rong Ying saw her, because she was constantly playing with the child in her arms. This scene made Rong Ying see a serene and beautiful scene.
Before Rong Ying saw Xiange, the scenery along the way was sweet. She thought that once she found Xiange, she would find someone to share the journey with.
But at this moment, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart, as if something was breaking apart and aching.
Rong Ying swallowed his dry throat, trying to look calmly at the child in Xiange's arms, and asked gently.
"Is this your child?"
When Xiange first saw Rongying appear, she was startled, but at the same time her heart was pounding with joy.
She waited quietly for Rong Ying for a long time, but Rong Ying remained motionless, just like a scarecrow in a field.
Xiange had been waiting and waiting, and finally he came to her, and she heard him ask such a question without any emotion.
Xiange smiled and nodded.
She nodded, and the child in her arms swung his little hands and laughed, clearly finding Rong Ying, a stranger, very fascinating.
The baby in her arms had grown much fatter, and Xiange could hardly carry him anymore. He kept moving around, so she had to use all her energy to coax him: "Lingling, be good. Do you know him? You want him to hold you."
"She doesn't know me, but you do. Weren't you waiting for me to come to you? How could this happen..."
Rong Ying expended a great deal of energy with each word he spoke. He was listless and weak, and when he talked about the child, he almost lost his voice. He took several deep breaths before he could speak clearly.
"And then the child was born!"
Xiange patted and coaxed the baby several times. At first, the baby in her arms was very happy to see Rong Ying, but after a long time, when the other party ignored her, she stopped crying and quietly lay on Xiange's shoulder.
Xiange also had time to ask Rongying a question in return, and she feigned ignorance: "When did I ask you to come find me?"
Rong Ying clenched his fist, swallowed a mouthful of bitterness that felt like razor blades, and said, "Isn't it enough that I've returned to Yue Kingdom, sought refuge with my younger sister, and listened to my story?"
After hearing this, Xian Ge pursed her lips slightly, making Rong Ying seem even more like a joke. He took out the previous divorce agreement and his tone became excited, but he still maintained some restraint.
"This has no official seal at all, so it doesn't count."
Xian Ge glanced at the divorce papers, her eyes showing some difficulty; she didn't know what to do.
"Do you still need a seal? Why didn't you ask the government to add one back then? I forced you to marry me back then, and I felt so guilty. You said you wanted a divorce, so I divorced you to pay off my debt to you."
"Now you're saying the divorce doesn't count, so what should I do? Should I stay or stay with you..."
“Come with me,” Rong Ying couldn’t wait to waste time talking to Xiange. He had come all this way to find her, wanting to share all his experiences with her and make up for the past with Xiange.
Although it pained me to see him come to me step by step, it wasn't that I didn't want to keep him; I wanted to seize any chance I could get.
Rong Ying looked around anxiously: "Where is the child's father? If you can't bear to part with her, we can talk to him about taking her away. I will treat her as my own daughter."
Xian Ge refused, hugging the child even tighter, and snorted, "Why should I believe you just because you say you can treat him as your own?"
“I’ve already become your wife, and you still want to drive me away so easily. Although you did it to prevent me from becoming a widow, it’s a good thing that you’re alive now, but you want to come back to me. This is not a good thing for me.”
"Who knows if you'll encounter another life-threatening situation in the future? What if you divorce me every time, kick me out every time, and then come back to me and marry me again after you survive? What kind of heartless person would I be? What would the people around you think of me?"
“I can’t let you die with me, or waste the rest of your life on…” Rong Ying wanted to explain his predicament, but his actions seemed to be no different from what Xiange understood.
Fearing for her safety and wanting to drive her away, yet still clinging to life and needing her unconditionally, what I'm saying might be partially true, but it's also incredibly inconsiderate.
Ultimately, he was still not very confident about his trip to the Jade Kingdom.
However, with the old grudges gone, Rong Ying would no longer need to sacrifice himself like that in the future, so it would be better for Xiange to stay by his side day and night.
Suddenly, Rong Ying bent her knees and knelt directly in front of Xiange.
A hint of panic flashed in Xiange's eyes. Feeling sorry for Rongying, she was about to put down the child and help Rongying up when Rongying's voice rang out.
"I have devoted my whole life to revenge, dealing with conspiracies and schemes all the time, and calculating how long I can live."
"I lost everything in matters of the heart. All I could think of was pushing you away. I never imagined I would put you under so much pressure and pain. If I were the one who caused this, this kneeling would let everyone know that I was the one who was clinging to you, that I was fickle, and that I looked down on your chastity. Please give me another chance, Xiange."
“Get up, or someone will really see us,” Xiange sighed.
Rong Ying stubbornly replied, "I won't get up unless you come back with me."
"You're even threatening people now," Xiange chuckled, but didn't nod immediately. She asked, "You really won't kick me out again saying it's for my own good?"
“No, I used to not value my life, but this time when I went to the Jade Kingdom, I was thinking about how to save my life, even if it was just to survive,” Rong Ying said with a bitter smile.
"Sister, quickly give me my Lingling and help your brother-in-law up," someone said, unable to bear it any longer, and took the child from Xiange's arms into the house.
Rong Ying stared at Xiange in shock. Xiange thumped her arm, avoiding Rong Ying's gaze, feeling guilty.
“I did go to live with my sister, so I can help her with her children. My sister’s children are my children too, that’s right.”
She nodded and said that Lingling was her child, but didn't say that she was the one who gave birth to her.
Even though there were clever tricks in the divorce agreement with Rong Ying, and she wanted him to come looking for her, Xiange just didn't want Rong Ying to find her so easily.
"You... will you come back with me?" Rong Ying asked cautiously.
Xian Ge stopped testing him and stretched out her hand to emphasize, "It's not about going back, it's about you marrying me again."
Under the warm sunlight, the hand that Xiange reached out was like a painkiller for Rong Ying, and he happily agreed, "Okay!"
