Leng Ming lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet, but he didn't hear what Luo Lan said at all.
Seeing that he was absent-minded, Luo Lan frowned and asked loudly:
"Why do you stay at home drinking all day? What happened between you and Xena?"
"Speak?"
"say……"
Seeing that Leng Ming continued to stand there in a daze as if he didn't hear her, Luo Lan became very angry and raised her voice a lot.
Leng Ming came back to his senses when he realized that Luo Lan's tone was wrong. He looked up and mumbled, interrupting:
"Nothing...nothing, Fourth Sister-in-law, you...you finally made it to Prince Ming's Mansion, and now it's...it's already evening. I'll have someone prepare food for you...for you."
"Do you know what time it is now?"
Leng Ming glanced outside, scratched his head in surprise and said:
"It's night time. It's almost dark."
Has he lost track of day and night?
Seeing his confused look, Luo Lan looked at him coldly.
"It's morning now, can't you tell the difference between day and night? Leng Ming, Leng Ming, how can I say hello to you? You weren't like this before, how did you become like this now? Look at you, you're neither human nor ghost. Can you live like a human being?"
Luo Lan's scolding made Leng Ming stunned for a moment. He suddenly collapsed on the rocking chair like a puddle of mud and said self-deprecatingly:
"Live a meaningful life? How should I live? I feel like my life has lost its sunshine. I think if I live like this, I might as well die."
Looking at his decadent appearance and thinking about what he had just said, Luo Lan sat on the chair opposite him, calmed down his impatience, and asked softly:
"Leng Ming, are you in a bad mood because of Sina?"
Leng Ming lay in the rocking chair, closed his eyes, and became silent.
"Leng Ming, Xina is five years older than you. She is still a Chu citizen. If you want to be with her, it will be difficult. In other words, it will harm both of you. Have you thought about these problems?"
"I'm not afraid..."
Leng Ming suddenly closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, saying slowly:
"I'm not afraid of anything. I don't care that she's older than me, and I don't care about her status. What I'm afraid of is that she doesn't like me, because she told me herself that she doesn't like me at all."
At this point, he suddenly sat up and looked at Luo Lan with red eyes.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, do you know? When I heard her say that she didn't like me at all, I felt like I could hear the sound of my heart being torn apart. I felt like my world suddenly became dark, my sky collapsed, and the meaning of my life disappeared in an instant..."
"Leng Ming..."
Hearing his self-deprecating words, Luo Lan's face turned pale and then blue.
She frowned and looked at Leng Ming, and said in a deep voice:
"You're a man, you're Prince Ming of Daning. How can you let your emotions get the better of you? As a man, you must always swallow your grievances, let go of the past, wipe away your tears and move on. How can you be so decadent?"
"No, I don't want to be such a righteous person. No matter what my identity is, I just want to be an ordinary person. I don't want to be like my father, who married hundreds of women but no one was truly with him. I just want to find someone and live a peaceful and stable life with her. But as soon as I found this person, she didn't want me anymore. Fourth sister-in-law, what do you think I should do? Without Xina, I feel like I can't live anymore. My heart is empty, as if my heart is no longer in my body. I feel... I feel like I don't know the reason to live..."
His words stunned Luo Lan.
This was exactly the feeling she had when she learned that Leng Yu was killed in the snow and ice of Chu State.
Could it be that the relationship between Leng Ming and Xina had really reached the point where they were inseparable without her realizing it?
Thinking of this, she took a breath. It seemed that she had thought things were too simple, and she had also thought the relationship between them was too simple.
Looking at the depressed Leng Ming in front of her, she didn't know how to comfort him.
She knew better than anyone that emotional matters could not be comforted by just a few words from others. She felt that the saying "the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it" was very true.
It seemed that it was useless for her to stay here any longer, so she stood up, looked at Leng Ming, and said softly:
"I'm touched that you care about Sina, but I don't want you to ruin yourself because of it. Live well. Maybe there will be a turning point."
Leaving these words behind, she turned and walked towards the door.
Leng Ming looked at her back, thinking about the words she left for him, and suddenly laughed bitterly, "An unexpected turn of events? Hehehe..."
He continued to lie in his rocking chair, picked up the flagon and began to pour wine into his mouth.
Luo Lan, who had just come out of Prince Ming's Mansion, felt a pang of sadness in his heart. Sitting in the carriage, Ah Cai asked curiously:
"Princess, what happened to Prince Ming? He wasn't like this before."
Luo Lan sighed, not knowing how to answer.
Ah Hong said cautiously:
"Is it because of the Second Young Miss? The day before yesterday, I saw him coming out of the back garden and he seemed to be crying. I greeted him but he ignored me. Later, I saw the Second Young Miss coming out of the back garden with red eyes."
Ah Cai blinked her eyes and asked in confusion,
"Because of the Second Young Lady? Did the Second Young Lady bully him again? But when the Second Young Lady bullied him before, he wasn't this sad, was he?"
Ah Hong glared at her and muttered unhappily,
