How could He Jinshu swallow this insult?
He knew about the Wen family's son. Although he later served in the army and made meritorious contributions, he had gotten into a romantic entanglement when he was young.
That incident from back then has dragged on to this day, and even now, people outside still gossip about it. I was once one of those people, mocking the Wen family for having such a good-for-nothing son.
Not long after, the woman from the rumors passed away, and he even applauded for it, saying that without that vixen, he wondered if the Wen family would rise to prominence. One by one, these long-forgotten events resurfaced in his mind.
It made him deeply regretful.
It turns out that he had known about the girl for a long time, but he was unable to help her when she was at her most heartbroken and desperate.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyan simply shook her head; it was indeed too late. Humans and ghosts are destined to be apart, and from this day forward, she had no intention of ever seeing this person again.
Knowing why he hadn't come to find the original owner, Lu Qingyan was relieved.
"Master Changling, let's go," Lu Qingyan said, indicating that there was no need to stay any longer.
Lord He's pleading gaze fell on Daoist Changling, still unwilling to give up, and he said, "I know your Daoist arts are profound, you must have a way to let me see them one more time. Please let me see them one more time, okay?"
He was neither a good husband nor a good father. More than 30 years later, he couldn't even remember what the woman he once admired looked like, let alone what she looked like.
The pain in my heart is so real, it feels like it all happened just yesterday.
"I've only come to speak with Lord He; I have no other business to attend to. The capital is a place of trouble and intrigue, and I don't intend to stay long. I've even considered never coming here again. My coming here now is a breach of my promise. I take my leave." With that, Daoist Changling turned and left without looking back.
They didn't care how sad Lord He was now, nor did they care what the future held for Lord He and Madam He.
He has done all he could.
"Won't you regret not seeing him?"
"I've already made my decision, why would I change it again?" Lu Qingyan laughed. "I originally just wanted an answer, and now that I know, I'm already satisfied. What's the point of seeing him?"
All the revenge that needed to be taken has been taken. Although the person who sought revenge was not himself, those who were supposed to be punished have never escaped punishment.
As for seeing He Jinshu? Sorry, he felt his dying condition was too tragic, so he didn't plan to see him. That's a significant reason, I suppose.
Lu Qingyan had also wondered if He Jinshu had remained completely unaware of the truth, would he have lived a peaceful life with Madam He and would not have glared at her like this today?
But she only thought about it briefly.
Even if He Jinshu has forgotten everything, it doesn't negate the existence of those two people. The pain they suffered was real and tangible. Just because they lacked temporary protection, they met such a tragic end. How could they bear no responsibility?
Because of Master Changling's special status, their departure from the capital was not smooth. However, Master Changling was not someone that could be easily stopped. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the outcome was still good.
