Those complex emotions that she had buried deep in her heart and desperately suppressed surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, causing her to completely lose control.
Her thoughts drifted uncontrollably back to the distant past. Back then, she had just stepped into the Minister's residence, and everything was so unfamiliar and full of challenges.
When she first saw the exquisitely beautiful Luo Yuning in her swaddling clothes, the softest part of her heart was gently touched, and a maternal tenderness arose spontaneously.
She carefully picked up the child, feeling the warm and tender body temperature.
She secretly vowed to treat this little life as her own, giving her meticulous care and love.
In the early days, her life was filled with the pressure of pretense, and she had to be constantly vigilant about her words and actions.
But whenever I see Luo Yuning's innocent smile and hear her soft laughter...
All the hardships seemed insignificant, and she could feel a moment of peace and happiness in her heart.
However, time is a merciless sculptor, and as the years pass, the trajectory of life quietly changes.
Under careful nurturing, Luo Yuning has become increasingly outstanding. Whether it is playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, or prose, she is adept at everything and excels in all of them.
In her interactions with others, she also displays intelligence and gentleness far beyond her years, making her the center of attention wherever she goes.
In stark contrast, her two children were of average talent and stood out from the crowd.
At the same time, Luo Qi'an's favoritism towards Luo Yuning became increasingly obvious. Whether it was daily praise or companionship on important occasions, Luo Yuning always occupied the central position.
These changes were like sharp daggers, piercing her heart again and again, causing the scales in her heart to gradually become unbalanced.
In countless quiet moments of the night, she lay alone in bed, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
She pondered her life repeatedly, her heart filled with resentment and confusion.
Why must I live such a cautious and precarious life in this unfamiliar place? Why is fate so unfair to me?
Despite all the sacrifices I've made, I still haven't received the recognition and care I deserve.
These negative thoughts continued to grow and spread in her mind, gradually distorting her originally kind mind.
From her initial occasional complaints and secret sorrows to her later malicious scheming and unscrupulous methods, she went further and further down the wrong path, gradually sinking into the abyss of darkness.
The pure love he once had for Luo Yuning was completely swallowed up by jealousy and resentment, disappearing without a trace.
She began spreading rumors about Luo Yuning behind her back, meticulously designing various traps, watching Luo Yuning fall into trouble, and be misunderstood and blamed by everyone.
She felt a morbid sense of satisfaction, as if this could make up for the lack in her heart.
But now, with the truth revealed, all the secrets have been laid bare in the sunlight.
She suddenly realized the unforgivable mistake she had made.
She slowly lowered her head, looking at her hands, as if she could see them stained with Luo Yuning's blood and tears. Those past evil deeds were like heavy shackles, making it hard for her to breathe.
"How did I become like this? How could I have been so bewitched and done those things?" she kept muttering to herself, her voice filled with pain, regret, and despair.
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of her broken soul, carrying endless sorrow.
She thought that Luo Yuning's hatred for her must have penetrated to the bone, like a poisonous thorn rooted in her heart, which could never be removed.
And her two children will suffer from strange looks and unfounded speculations from others because of her actions.
Their innocent lives will be completely shattered, and their future paths will likely be filled with thorns and shrouded in an inescapable shadow.
She seemed to already see the tragic end for herself and her child, their family's life shattered, and happiness forever gone from them.
Every mistake she made along the way felt like a heavy shackle, binding her tighter and tighter.
Now, wanting to break free, they find themselves already deeply mired in the mire, sinking deeper the more they struggle, with no possibility of escape.
Thinking of this, Wen Ruo closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks and soaking her clothes.
Her body trembled violently, like a withered leaf shivering in the cold wind, thin, helpless, and desperate.
All of this change stemmed from Qin Qianluo's final act of empathy.
Every word Qin Qianluo said was like a ray of light, shining directly into her dark and decaying inner world.
Those warm words made her begin to face her mistakes and fall into deep reflection.
At that moment, a strong desire welled up in her heart. She wished that time could be reversed so that she could have the opportunity to make up for the mistakes she had made.
Even if it's just to mitigate the slightest damage, so that there's still a possibility of starting over.
But she also knew clearly that some mistakes, once made, can never be undone, and she could only bear the bitter fruit of her own actions alone in endless regret.
Luo Yuning stood quietly in place, as if the surrounding noise was isolated by an invisible barrier. At this moment, only the sound of her own breathing remained in her world.
Her expression was calm as still water, but her heart was like a deep lake, seemingly undisturbed, yet turbulent beneath.
King Jinrui's words were like heavy hammer blows, striking her heart firmly, forcing her to admit that every word made sense.
