Chapter 672 - 683 Why Can’t Turn Back
"Consider!" Miss Du gently pondered over these two words, set down the wine jug, slowly lifted her head, and then let out a bitter laugh before sighing, "It was after I had thought things through that I decided to leave the Jie Family."
"But you used to love the second brother so much..."
"Yes!" Miss Du bitter laughed again, downed the wine in one gulp, yet spoke in an incredibly calm manner.
"I loved him so much before, loved him in the most humble way, gave my all to love him, and what I got in return was his ruthless hurt, over and over again. Five years, more than eighteen hundred days and nights of pain, time and again, until I finally excised him from my heart. Five years of marriage didn’t earn me a shred of his pity, but only growing resentment. This shows that he and I were not fated, and even if we were, it was a tragic fate. Now, that tragic fate has also come to an end. I am doing very well on my own now, and have given them space as well; why would I go back to that? I’m not that bored."
Xie Qinyun felt it wasn’t like that and hurriedly said, "But there’s been a misunderstanding between you two. I heard about it, it was that bitch, Concubine Du, who took the tiger embroidery you made and deceived my second brother. If he had known earlier that it was your work, he certainly wouldn’t have..."
Xie Qinyun wanted to say more but was interrupted by Miss Du.
"No, he would!"
"What?" Xie Qinyun looked at Miss Du in confusion.
Miss Du said, "Since you’ve brought up the matter of the little tiger, I might as well tell you about what happened back then."
Miss Du sat down, her thoughts drifting back to many years ago, to the year when Du Wanqing lost her concubine mother, and within less than a month, Jie Zhonglin’s sister Xie Qinyun was born, and at the same time, he lost his own mother.
