Chapter 248 Second Update
Zheng Nianru suddenly sat up from the bed, her vision dim. The faint light of the candle filtered in through the gauze, indistinct and barely visible; lying at the foot of the bed, wrapped in a thin blanket and asleep, was none other than Nian Xia.
Zheng Nianru came to her senses, realizing the Nian Xia of those times was no longer there; she was still of a tender and green age.
The memories in her mind, clear and vivid, were nothing but a spring dream. Zheng Nianru didn’t disturb Nian Xia on the floor. Instead, she gazed dully outside the gauze. It wasn’t fully light outside yet, the faint glow weighed down upon the brightness of the candle, everything was silent and still.
Zheng Nianru hadn’t thought about the past for a long time. Ju Nanyi had come to loathe her, and Zheng Nianru had long since stopped caring about the ridiculous things he did.
So, during that time, it wasn’t Zheng Congyuan who orchestrated events deliberately, but she couldn’t bear the loneliness. Without Zheng Congyuan’s presence, she could only lose herself in a life of intoxication, relying on those stunning, pleasing faces to forget the mortal world.
Zheng Nianru didn’t know why she had suddenly experienced such a dream, its contents as vivid as if she were living a drunken life within a dream, and the next moment, Zheng Nianru suddenly smiled as she came to a realization.
Yes, even with a youthful age and a tender face, she had after all experienced the affairs between men and women. Thus, Zheng Nianru attributed all this to time.
"Commandery Princess, have you awoken?" Nian Xia suddenly sat up, drowsy with sleep, rubbing her eyes. The next moment, she hastily got up and parted the gauze. Outside, it was still not fully light, but the red glow of the dawn seeped through.
Xue Liu, who slept in the outer room, hurried over after hearing the noise. The female servants were not ready yet, and Nanny Yun was the first to enter.
She glanced at Nian Xia. Why had she awoken so early today?
Nian Xia was somewhat at a loss. When she woke up, the Commandery Princess was already sitting on the bed in a daze. She didn’t know when the Commandery Princess had awoken.
