"Pang Yi, take me to Chenjiatun." Mei Ya finally came to her senses and said to Pang Yi.
Pang Yi knew from the beginning that this night was destined to be restless. But he didn't expect Mei Ya to run away, so he couldn't help but get anxious: "Madam, it's already this late. If..."
"If you don't want to, I can walk there myself." Mei Ya interrupted Pang Yi and walked straight to the gate.
"Madam! Wait a minute. I'll go get the horse!" Pang Yi dared not say anything else. He immediately ran to get the horse.
…
They were silent all the way. Mei Ya had nothing to say, and Pang Yi had a lot to say but didn't know where to start. The two of them remained silent until the carriage entered Chenjiatun, when Pang Yi finally couldn't hold it back any longer.
"Madam, please don't blame me. He..." Pang Yi spoke with difficulty, "He has his own difficulties."
"I know," Meiya nodded. "So I didn't make things difficult for him, did I?"
"But..." Pang Yi had so many things to say. But he couldn't say anything to Mei Ya. He scratched his head for a long time but couldn't open his mouth. When the carriage stopped in front of Grandma Chen's house, Pang Yi sighed. "Madam, Chengzi, you should rest well at Grandma Chen's house. When you think it through, I will come to pick you up."
"Pang Yi, I have always thought it through," Mei Ya jumped off the carriage and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she stood in front of Pang Yi, looked up at him, and said lightly, "I suffered too much in the capital before. I don't plan to wrong myself anymore. I know my identity and what kind of life I want to live. So about tonight's matter, it's not a question of whether I think it through or not." At this point, Mei Ya paused. It was not easy to hold on until this moment. Mei Ya wanted to cry a little, but she still held it back. However, when she opened her mouth again, she inevitably lost her momentum. "If Ming Wei can't let go of An, they can stay together from now on, and I will never interfere. If Ming Wei can let go of An, I... I am naturally willing to go back and live a good life with him, as if nothing happened tonight."
Mei Ya had never felt so humble before, no matter she was bullied by those senior palace maids in the Yanxi Palace before, or she washed clothes all day in the cold winter in the Duan Mansion, she really had never felt so humble and pitiful as she did at this moment. She knew that Pang Yi would definitely convey every word of what she said to Zhong Mingwei. She could never say such useless words to Zhong Mingwei, especially when she still had so much bitterness and resentment in her heart. But when the carriage went farther and farther away, she began to panic again.
She was afraid that Zhong Mingwei would not want her anymore. Compared to An Shi, she really had no chance of winning. Everyone in the capital knew that An Shi's youngest daughter was deeply in love with the prince and even went on a hunger strike in order to marry into the Eastern Palace. Now, for Zhong Mingwei, this An Shi's daughter was willing to give up the wealth of the capital. With such deep affection and such determination, Mei Ya could understand Zhong Mingwei's reluctance and hesitation, but...
But what should she do?
"Madam, you..." Pang Yi felt really bad. He wanted to comfort Mei Ya, but his lips trembled for a long time, and he could only utter this sentence, "Take care of yourself."
"Go away." Meiya nodded to him, not wanting to say anything more.
Pang Yi walked forward and knocked on the gate, waiting for Chen Qingxuan to come and open the door, then he drove the carriage back.
When Chen Qingxuan saw that it was Mei Ya standing outside the door, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a while. Mei Ya spoke first: "Mr. Chen, there are guests at home and we can't find a place to stay. I'd like to stay at your house for a few days. I don't know if it's convenient or not?"
"It's convenient, come in quickly," Chen Qingxuan was busy letting Mei Ya in, and asked with concern, "Is dinner ready? There are still two bowls of porridge and a few buns left from last night. I'll heat them up and bring them to you?"
"No, I've eaten," Mei Ya shook her head. Actually, how could she have eaten? But even though her stomach was empty, she had no appetite at all. She followed Chen Qingxuan into the courtyard, looked at the dark window of Grandma Chen's room, and whispered, "Grandma Chen is asleep, right?"
"Yeah, he's asleep," Chen Qingxuan nodded. He looked at Meiya and felt that she didn't look very well. He asked carefully, "What kind of important guest came to our house that you had to make room for him?"
