Half a year later, Minister Wei called me to come over, and He Yuhan had also sacrificed himself while on a mission. He left me a letter, asking me to bury his ashes along with that photo next to your grave. He said that if he couldn’t love and be with you in life, he hoped to be by your side in death;
"Ah Lan, do you resent him, hate him?"
"I did resent and hate him." Chu Dieyi sighed softly: "But from the moment I was reborn in this time and space, my love and hatred for him dissipated."
Yang Mengchen didn’t speak, not knowing what to say.
Perhaps only by letting go of oneself can one live a better life, like Ah Lan, like her.
Gathering her thoughts, Chu Dieyi asked Yang Mengchen, "How did Ah Meng come to be here?"
"Airplane crash."
After refilling their tea cups with hot water, Yang Mengchen elegantly took a sip from her cup before slowly continuing, "I could not conceive a child. Less than two years after you left, my marriage with Ah Ming faced issues... Especially when my doctor told me I wouldn’t live past thirty, I didn’t want to be a burden to Ah Ming, so I chose to leave;
Later, I met a master of Chinese medicine. He not only taught me a set of techniques to nourish vitality and replenish qi but also took great care in restoring my health, thus extending my life by nearly ten years;
However, my vital essence was excessively depleted, I was like a lamp out of oil. So, I took a flight home to await death’s arrival, but then the plane unexpectedly crashed. The original owner of this body fell from a tree and lay unconscious. I was reborn in her body, coincidentally sharing the same name and surname." freēwēbnovel.com
Chu Dieyi erupted in anger, "That old woman dared to hurt you like that, utterly despicable!"
"We can’t blame her entirely; after all, the inheritance of offspring is a deeply rooted concept among our people, and it was also partly due to my own reasons." Yang Mengchen’s gentle voice soothed Chu Dieyi, "Now I have a loving family, a husband who loves and protects me, and in the future, I will have smart and lovely children. It’s a case of ’out of suffering comes happiness’."
"You always try to find excuses for others, bearing all the suffering alone. Fortunately, you finally possess true happiness, and that puts my mind at rest." Chu Dieyi’s tone was full of tenderness and indulgence.
Moved to the brink of tears by Chu Dieyi’s affection reminiscent of her past life, Yang Mengchen said, "Actually, I have to thank my mentor for this."
"That enigmatic old man?"
Yang Mengchen nodded, then recounted to Chu Dieyi everything about Old Man Wuwei and the related events.
A look of astonishment filled Chu Dieyi’s eyes: "Isn’t that a bit too fantastical?"
She was an atheist, and even after personally experiencing reincarnation, she still did not believe in the existence of gods or spirits. Now, Ah Meng was telling her that her being here was all thanks to that old man, and that she and Prince Chen were fated partners for ten lifetimes, which was simply unbelievable to her.
"That’s what the master said, even though I find it difficult to believe as well."
"No wonder everyone reveres Old Man Wuwei so much; he possesses such unfathomably profound Taoist skills."
"Yes, Wende, even Prince is a disciple of the master. However, Wende studied governance and martial arts, while I learned business and other miscellaneous studies. Yet, it was Fang Chenxu who mastered the master’s Taoist teachings, and his magic is very profound."
In her previous life, Chu Dieyi, Fang Chenxu, and Hang Qingming successively met Yang Mengchen and became friends. With disbelief on her face, Chu Dieyi said, "Fang Chenxu is really your fellow disciple? Have you seen him use Taoist magic?"
"Mm-hmm." Yang Mengchen nodded: "At the beginning of last year, I accidentally ran into the Crown Prince of Qing’an, Meng Jingqi, who almost exactly resembled Ah Ming. I mistook him for Ah Ming... Later, my master appeared in time to wake me and advised me to let go of the inner demon in my heart, otherwise, we wouldn’t have met again."
Gripping Yang Mengchen’s slightly cold hand, Chu Dieyi chided softly, "Silly sister, none of that was your fault, why do you blame yourself?"
With tears in her eyes, Yang Mengchen shook her head, indicating that she would not do so anymore.
Chu Dieyi was relieved: "Honestly, after knowing Fang Chenxu for so many years, we had no idea he was capable of magic; he kept it very well hidden."
"Exactly. If it weren’t for that accident that sent my soul back to the past, I wouldn’t have known about it either." Yang Mengchen deeply agreed, "But despite his bad temper and harsh words, he has a good heart. After your incident, he often accompanied me to visit uncle, aunt, and Ah Jie (Lan Ling’s brother). Before I left, I also asked him to take good care of uncle, aunt, and Ah Jie." Whatever she requested, Fang Chenxu agreed without hesitation, and she believed he would take good care of them.
In this new timeline, what Chu Dieyi worried about the most were her parents and brother. Now, hearing what Ah Meng had said, she finally felt at ease: "Thank you all for taking care of my parents and brother!" She expressed her gratitude with tears brimming in her eyes.
