After finishing her meal, Wei Yuchen left. It was only then that Lin Han learned from Xiao Meng that tomorrow was the anniversary of Wei Yuchen's birth mother's death.
"I see. He's so pitiful. Private sacrifices are not allowed in the palace. He's destined never to be able to openly worship his birth mother," Lin Han said with regret.
Time passed quickly.
In the evening, Lin Han looked out the window at the gloomy, rainy weather and sat quietly by the window to enjoy the rain.
"Look, what a gentle sound. This weather is perfect for sleeping," Lin Han said happily, listening to the pleasant sound of the rain pattering down.
“Yes, it’s perfect for sleeping. Poor Wei Yuchen, he can’t even light a fire now,” Xiao Meng said to herself.
Upon hearing this, Lin Han looked at the books that Wei Yuchen had left behind yesterday, picked them up, and walked outside with her umbrella.
"Princess, where are you going? Let me get you an umbrella." The maid outside the door said to Lin Han as soon as she saw her about to leave.
"I'm just going out for a walk to clear my head, don't follow me! Otherwise, I'll hold you responsible!" Lin Han said fiercely to the maid.
The maids had gotten used to Lin Han's words over this period of time. Mainly because she would say it but never actually punish them, the maids were no longer so afraid of Lin Han.
"Yes, Your Highness, please be careful," the maid reminded Lin Han.
So Lin Han easily walked towards Wei Yuchen's residence with the oil-paper umbrella.
Lin Han walked to the door of the side room, looked at the closed door, and asked Xiao Meng to unlock the wooden latch inside. She then walked in openly with her umbrella.
At a corner, Lin Han finally saw Wei Yuchen. It was drizzling, but the tinderbox just wouldn't light, and Wei Yuchen couldn't light it while holding an umbrella.
Just as he relit the tinderbox, he suddenly felt the rain stop, and then the paper money in the basin finally caught fire.
Only then did Wei Yuchen realize something was wrong, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw Lin Han's figure.
"Princess……"
"Alright, just pretend I was never here. Go do your own thing. I won't tell anyone," Lin Han said preemptively.
Wei Yucheng glanced at Lin Han gratefully, then earnestly burned paper money for his mother.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
Wei Yucheng stood up and expressed her gratitude to Lin Han: "Thank you for today, Princess."
"What are you talking about? I just came to deliver a book. There's nothing to thank me for." Lin Han pretended not to understand and handed the book back to Wei Yuchen.
Wei Yucheng knew that Lin Han was pretending not to know, so he was even more grateful to her.
Lin Han left after returning the book, seemingly having only come to return it.
"Congratulations, Wei Yuchen's corruption value has decreased by 10." Xiao Meng added the latest corruption value increase information to Lin Han.
"Sure enough, he really hates me." These past few days, Lin Han has been intentionally or unintentionally letting Wei Yuchen know that he misunderstood him, and as a result, his "darkening value" dropped incredibly fast.
"Isn't it great? It's so good that the mission was completed easily," Xiaomeng said.
Lin Han knew this was a good thing, but she didn't believe that Wei Yuchen's dark side would completely disappear because of his change of opinion of her. There was still a long road ahead.
Looking at the red walls and green tiles, Lin Han couldn't help but sigh.
Meanwhile, Wei Yucheng, who was in a side room, was also gazing at the red walls and green tiles outside the window, but his state of mind was completely different from Lin Han's.
"It will be over soon, everything will be alright," Wei Yuchen murmured to himself as he sat alone by the window.
