Mu Jin walked out of Qingjing Garden, her mind filled with mixed feelings.
Throughout the year he spent with Nangong Min, whether it was when Shiyi was suffering from amnesia or when Nangong Min regained his memory, he remained utterly loyal to her.
How could the man who loved her so much that he was willing to risk his life turn around and share a bed with another woman overnight?
Just yesterday evening, he was reluctant to leave Bai Ling'er because he had to rush to beg Nangong Yun to annul his engagement with her. Before leaving, he even smiled and told her to wait for his good news.
Is this the result we've been waiting for?
Mu Jin's mind was filled with thoughts of trusting Nangong Min, and also with the image of Nangong Min and Bai Ling'er sleeping together on the bed.
No, none of it is right! Mu Jin suddenly realized that everything that had just happened was wrong!
Since Nangong Min left her courtyard last night, he has not shown his face again.
This morning, Nangong Yun invited her to breakfast as a way of thanking her. Then, under the pretext of helping her digest, he took her to Nangong Min's bedroom, where she witnessed Nangong Min and Bai Ling'er sharing a bed.
She had just clearly seen despair in Nangong Min's eyes. It was a feeling of being betrayed and framed by one's closest relatives, yet being powerless to do anything about it.
Is this what Nangong Yun meant by the helplessness and sorrow of being a Nangong person?
Looking back now, when Nangong Yun told her to go back and think about whether or not to separate from Nangong Min, he was actually not giving her a choice at all. No matter what she chose, she had to separate from Nangong Min.
Even without what just happened, there would still be other things waiting for her and Nangong Min to make a choice.
Today's scheme is merely to have Nangong Min and Bai Ling'er share a bed. If Nangong Min doesn't acknowledge it, tomorrow Nangong Yun can stage a suicide attempt in front of Nangong Min. How many times can Nangong Min refuse in front of his closest relatives?
They are all Nangong Min's closest relatives, and they know the fastest, most ruthless, and most effective way to stab Nangong Min in the back!
Because of Nangong Min's kind and benevolent heart, he was destined to lose no matter what he chose in this round.
From the day Nangong Yun learned that Nangong Min was still alive, her fate with Nangong Min could never be separated from the word "separation".
As Mu Jin walked, tears blurred her vision. Only when the tears fell did she realize that she had arrived at the small courtyard where she lived.
Just then, Su Yi was about to go out to find Mu Jin when he saw Mu Jin walking slowly back from outside, tears streaming down her face, as if she had left her soul.
This was the first time Su Yi had seen Mu Jin like this, and his heart felt as if it had been scraped by a knife.
He thought it was someone from the Nangong Shenzong who had bullied Mu Jin, and his eyes instantly filled with hostility.
Su Yi grabbed Mu Jin: "How did you end up looking like this? Did someone here bully you?"
Mu Jin stopped in her tracks, turned her head blankly to look at Su Yi, and after a long while a voice that had never been so clear appeared in her mind.
It's time for her to leave, to leave the Nangong Shenzong sect, and to leave Nangong Min.
Mu Jin shook her head at Su Yi.
"The people here are all very nice, no one has bullied me. It's just that I suddenly realized I don't belong here anymore. I'm going inside to pack up, and I'll leave in a bit."
When Su Yi heard that Mu Jin was leaving, he was only slightly taken aback. He seemed to have thought of something and immediately became happy.
After Mu Jin finished speaking, she gently broke free from Su Yi's grasp and walked into the courtyard, while Su Yi waited for her impatiently outside.
"I said let's go now, why bother packing? If you need anything, I'll buy it for you after we get down the mountain."
Mu Jin walked into the room, a place she had only stayed in for two days, yet it still felt unfamiliar to her. She didn't really need to unpack anything; she only had two simple sets of clothes.
Mu Jin sat in front of the dressing mirror and took off the white jade hairpin from her hair. It was a prize that Nangong Min had won for her in Lingfeng County.
She touched the cloud pattern on the white jade hairpin, her eyes filled with sorrow. She still remembered the night Nangong Min won this white jade hairpin for her, his eyes filled with tenderness, and how he personally inserted it into her hair.
Mu Jin placed the white jade hairpin together with the longevity pill that Nangong Yun had given her. She wiped away her tears, stood up to leave, but then heard Nangong Min's voice coming from outside the courtyard.
Su Yi blocked the entrance to Mu Jin Courtyard, preventing Nangong Min from going in to find Mu Jin.
"I don't know what you did to her. I just know that she was very sad when she came back. I'm taking her away. You should leave."
Nangong Min said, "Please let me see Ajin. Some things are not as she sees them. I need to explain them to her."
Su Yi said, "Impossible!"
Nangong Min said, "I'll only look at her once."
Mu Jin opened the door and looked at the two men standing at the courtyard gate, their swords drawn. She said to Su Yi, "Let him in."
Su Yi was stunned by Mu Jin's words, but Nangong Min took the opportunity to run towards Mu Jin. When Su Yi came to his senses and was about to come in to stop him, he was stopped by a look from Mu Jin.
Nangong Min entered Mu Jin's room, and Mu Jin pointed to a seat for him to sit down.
After sitting down, Nangong Min looked at Mu Jin's tear-stained eyes and felt immense guilt and pain in his heart: "Ah Jin, I'm sorry, I..."
Mu Jin sat quietly to the side, watching Nangong Min's sorrowful face as she spoke to him.
“Yesterday evening, I went from your place to find Bai Ling’er to go to my grandmother’s to talk about annulling the engagement. It just so happened that it was dinner time, so my grandmother invited me and Bai Ling’er to have dinner together.”
"During the meal, I tried several times to bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement with Bai Ling'er with my grandmother, but she said that I hadn't dined with Bai Ling'er for a long time, and that we could talk about it after dinner."
