“……!”
As Lian Xin looked at Lin Zhenzhen with a look of apology and helplessness, Lin Zhenzhen, who should have been as emotionless as a blade of grass and unable to express her inner thoughts, actually teared a crystal clear tear from the corner of her eye. This tear made Lian Xin completely give up, and she finally made up her mind: "...I understand. If this is what you want, let me end it all."
Lian Xin sat quietly beside the bed for a long time, took a deep breath, slowly stood up while holding the edge of the bed, wiped the tears from her face, changed her clothes, and opened the door.
A breeze blew across her face. Looking at the lush greenery that she had never cared about before, Lian Xin walked towards Qinghe's house with firm steps.
When Lian Xin arrived, Tang Chen had already come over: "Princess, Madam, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Wanying was fine, but Tang Chen and Qinghe were visibly surprised when they saw Lian Xin appear before them as if reborn. After deliberately exchanging glances, Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Lian Xin's eyes. "Why are your eyes red? There are tears hanging on your eyelashes. Come, let me wipe them for you. It's no big deal. In this life, there are really too many things that we can't do anything about."
Lian Xin shook her head slightly, then walked past Qinghe and bowed to Jiang Wanying, saying, "Miss Jiang, I want to ask you for a favor."
Jiang Wanying gave her a slight hand, motioning her to stand up, and said, "It's alright, just get up and talk. I'm here to help anyway."
Lian Xin raised her eyes and said, "Is there any way to let her leave without any pain?"
Jiang Wanying didn't answer, but just smiled, then turned her attention to Princess Qinghe: "Well, I think you should listen to their opinions first."
Qinghe gently embraced Lian Xin in his arms, patted her back, and said softly, "Lian Xin, I'm really glad that you can come to your senses. If it were before, I would definitely support your decision with all my strength, but now, it seems that we can't decide whether Lin Zhenzhen lives or dies."
Lian Xin was stunned when she heard this. Hadn't they been suggesting that she do that before, and had just said that, why did they suddenly change their minds now? "Princess, what did you say?"
Seeing that Lian Xin's mood had almost calmed down, Tang Chen handed her the secret letter that the three of them had just read together and said, "Take a look at this first. This is the latest news from Shi Zairong. This person is also strange. Whether intentionally or not, he mentioned someone to me."
Lian Xin subconsciously sniffed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and carefully read the contents of the secret letter. The two words "Lin Feng" written in a large font at the end of the secret letter were obviously intentional. She just didn't know who she wanted to see it for: "Lin Feng, he is still alive, how is this possible!"
Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes, not only is he still alive, he has also become our great hero, bringing back the Life-Growing Gu. However, judging by what Shi Zai said in the letter, although the Life-Growing Gu was brought back, after Huangfu Bin and his son conducted experiments, they found that their current abilities can only cause damage to the Life-Growing Gu, but are not enough to kill it."
Jiang Wanying, who had been quietly watching all this unfold, became visibly agitated when she heard about the Life-Growing Gu. "Life-Growing Gu? Isn't that a treasure of the Huangfu family? How is it related to you?"
Tang Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Miss Jiang, this matter is confidential right now. Please forgive us for not being able to tell you the details for now. Once the storm has passed, I will definitely tell you the whole story."
Tang Chen's sudden change in addressing herself was a deliberate reminder to Jiang Wanying that Bugui Peak had nothing to do with this matter, and they also hoped that people who had nothing to do with it would know too much. "That's not necessary. You don't have to worry about me. I don't really want to know. The more I know, the more trouble I'll get into. You'd better not tell me. I'll let it go in one ear and out the other. I won't cause you any unnecessary trouble."
Hearing this, Qinghe glanced at Tang Chen, who always liked to ask questions, smiled, sighed softly, and said, "Alas, although they look so similar, their personalities are still different."
After a moment, Jiang Wanying finally understood and responded, "...That's right, we are two completely different people after all."
After Lian Xin tried hard to digest the sudden events that had happened today, she asked doubtfully, "So, does this mean that we should let Lin Feng make the decision now?"
Seeing that Lian Xin was still a little confused, Tang Chen added, "Well, Lin Feng should also know that Lin Zhenzhen is here with us. I will send a letter to Qilin Guards later to pick up Lin Feng."
Qing He was a little surprised by Tang Chen's sudden and swift action: "When did you become so generous?"
This made Tang Chen a little unhappy. Everything else was fine, but after all, there were guests here. Could Qinghe have given him a little face when speaking? "What do you mean by 'change'? I have always been very generous!"
Qinghe said bluntly, "Doesn't Lin Feng have a grudge against you? Previously, you hated him to the core because of what happened with Manager Liu and the others. I don't understand your sudden change of heart. If you say it's for Lin Zhenzhen, you're lying."
Tang Chen thought about the angry words he had said before, and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, that's not called a grudge. At that time, I was angry because innocent people were implicated by us. When people are angry, their minds are always a little confused, and most of the things they say are nonsense without thinking."
After saying this, Tang Chen saw that no one was talking. He coughed twice and added, "Because we had different standpoints before, we definitely couldn't think about things from the same perspective. Let's understand each other. Besides, although he arrested many people related to us before, he didn't kill them in the end, right? Based on my previous understanding of him, I still want to believe that he is a good person."
Qing He sighed deeply, then smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay. I only asked one question, but you gave me ten. I can't argue with you. Qingliang Valley also belongs to you half, so do whatever you want. As your big sister, I support you most of the time."
Tang Chen rolled his eyes at Qing He, feeling very touched. He then said, "Lian Xin, let's go to town with you to buy some things. It's been a while since we last saw brother. Lin Zhenzhen must be hoping to show her best face to him."
Lian Xin lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Madam, on behalf of Lian Xin."
