I really don't know how to put it. Between me and Ji Ruchen, there is her, and between her and Mo Han, there is me.
Caught off guard, I got another sharp rap on the forehead.
"Aren't you just eager to give me back my title as Empress, get rid of this useless husband in name only, and live happily ever after with your new lover?"
Seeing Mo Han's gritted teeth, all I can say is, prepare to receive the same sharp rebuke as the Heavenly Emperor; you deserve it. Recommended by Jun Mo Han.
"How could that be? I was just saying. Don't be angry. I won't mention it again."
He's my real benefactor, I can't afford to offend him.
I do like Ji Ruchen, that's true, but I can't offend my God of Wealth for him, can I? A god has to be realistic.
The book says that love is harmful to health and is far less practical than hard-earned money.
Mo Han said he had no money, but he wanted to be rich, powerful, influential, handsome, and capable.
The key point is that he's madly in love with me, and I like him too.
Unlike Ji Ruchen, who was not only handsome, but also had good sewing skills and cooked delicious food.
Aside from being presentable in public, capable in the kitchen, and able to keep mistresses, she has no other redeeming qualities.
Compared to Mo Han, she was utterly humiliated.
I don't know why I'm so blind; I've been bewitched and fallen madly in love with him.
Sigh, why do I feel so uncomfortable whenever I think of him? My heart always feels heavy. It's really strange.
I like them too. When I see Mo Han, my eldest brother, and my second brother, I always feel like laughing. Seeing them makes me feel like my heart is covered in honey, so sweet. Even if I break the sky, with them around, I'm not afraid.
Thinking of Ji Ruchen, it felt like that day, as if my heart had been hollowed out, and I felt terribly uncomfortable, just like now.
It is evident that love is poisonous; one who touches it will die instantly, yet it seeps into one's bones and marrow, leaving no way to escape.
"What's wrong with you? Don't tease me anymore. I forgive you... Chaochao... Wake up." After that, I couldn't hear any more voices.
Where is this?
I felt as if I had entered a small world, where fluorescent lights were everywhere, the surroundings were empty and deserted, and in the center of the world was a large tree that was about to wither and die.
Although it is a withered tree, its imposing presence is extraordinary. It stands tall and straight, reaching into the sky, as if it wants to tear a hole in the heavens.
The entire tree had only one leaf that looked withered and pitiful.
However, judging from its shape, it resembles the pendant that Ji Ruchen gave her.
I remember that Ji Ruchen's true form was a tree demon, so could this tree be Ji Ruchen?
Impossible, impossible. My second brother said he achieved enlightenment and went to the Immortal Clan. He couldn't possibly be here. Even if he were, he shouldn't look like this.
Could it be that my second brother lied to me? But Mother said the same thing, so surely she wouldn't lie to Mother too.
Once I get out, I must go to the Immortal Clan as soon as possible. What if they really lied to me? I suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"The halberd is like a minister, the halberd is like a minister, the halberd is like a minister."
I called out Ji Ruchen's name three times to the big tree in front of me, but all I got in response was an empty echo.
This appears to be a closed space.
There was no one else but me.
Perhaps I'm just overthinking it. This tree couldn't possibly be Ji Ruchen. I won't die. I'm not worth anything to him, the daughter of his enemy.
I need to get out of here as soon as possible. Mo Han must be worried sick. I have so many important things to do.
Is anyone there?
The only response I received was an empty echo.
Suddenly, I felt a bit eerie and terrifying, as if I had entered the underworld.
