"The time has come, carry out the execution!"
The execution order was thrown to the ground. Wu Yan regained consciousness, staring intently at that delicate face for a long time before lowering his eyes.
It turned out that when she woke up from this dream, which felt like a lifetime ago, she was standing, while he was the one kneeling.
If there is an afterlife...
No, there shouldn't be an afterlife. It's good to end it like this.
The executioner raised his blade and brought down a severed head, which flew to the ground, rolled once, and even its eyes were closed.
"Miss, this...this is too scary, let's go back."
Zijuan's voice trembled slightly as she held onto Xiangwan's arm, not daring to open her eyes.
"No defying fate, no turning back. On the road to the underworld, all mortal affairs will return to dust. Forgetting is the best destination."
Xiang Wan murmured softly, then turned and pulled Zijuan away from there.
The road ahead is long, and it would be a great loss to waste this life on revenge.
Xiang Wan completely stopped doing the glassware business and renamed the shop "Time Waits for No One," specializing in selling women's items, such as embroidered silk handkerchiefs, carefully designed beaded flowers, and novel earrings, all based on Ji Meiniang's designs.
Huan'er and other maids became shop assistants, while several shop assistants were responsible for cleaning and tidying.
The Cao family had fallen into complete ruin, and Cao Xinqian had become a prisoner. Ji Meiniang continued to care for the Cao family members as always. Because of her kindness, Ji Meiniang also met someone who understood her. However, she repeatedly refused to marry him, always citing Xiang Wan's unmarried status as the reason.
Xiang Wan simply used the excuse of going to do business in another place to leave the capital. Seeing that Xiang Wan was determined, Ji Meiniang stopped pressuring her and agreed to the marriage, only requesting that Xiang Wan not leave the Ji family.
With Xiang Wan's careful recuperation, Ji Meiniang's health is now capable of allowing her to have children again.
Later, Xiang Wan heard that Cao Ruwan had fallen ill in exile and had eventually become involved with a local constable. After that, Xiang Wan stopped paying attention to her.
After the Crown Prince of Cui took over as regent, he reduced expenditures and initiated a new era, appointing many new officials and launching new policies. Within ten years, Cui's national strength grew, and neighboring countries sent envoys, intending to establish friendly relations with Cui.
Among the envoys who came to the capital, the third prince of the Di Kingdom was prominently featured. He was already the third prince of the Di Kingdom, accompanied by his beautiful wife and concubines.
In the crowd, Xiang Wan and he looked at each other, then looked away.
Who he is is no longer important. What matters is that they are now worlds apart, never to meet again.
The original owner approached him simply to provide a plausible explanation for her actions. She harbored no resentment or hatred towards him.
Whether his act of saving that person was genuine or feigned, he still owed the Ji family a debt of gratitude. The best ending is for them to forget each other and remain strangers.
"Miss, the same person from last year has come to order those beaded flowers again. What should we do?"
"Let him come back next year."
"What if he really comes next year?"
"Are you stupid? There will be so much next year, will we be able to use it all?"
"oh."
