Princess Ling Meng looked at him lifelessly, as if she did not understand anything he had just said. Jun Mo Xie sighed and decided to simply explain everything from start to end. From the moment Ye Gu Han and Murong Xiu Xiu died to the Grave of the Affectionate Couple, then how he instigated the second prince to obtain revenge… He went through every single event.
Princess Ling Meng finally understood. She closed her eyes in misery, tears falling endlessly from them.
My father sent assassins to kill my own mother. which is the same as killing Uncle Ye. This makes him my enemy, but no matter what, he is still my father…
After that, Jun Mo Xie designed a plot to make my father and three brothers kill each other, with all of them dying in this disaster. From this perspective, no matter what Jun Mo Xie’s starting point was, he essentially helped me get my revenge. But… at the same time, he killed my father.
No matter how estranged our relationship is, but in the blood that flows in my veins…. that is still my father!
Princess Ling Meng was utterly at a loss and was starting to panic. What… should I do now?
She raised her head fearfully and looked at Jun Mo Xie.
Third Young Master Jun… Jun Mo Xie, I… I… what should I do? Can someone tell me? What should I do? Can you tell me?
Looking at Princess Ling Meng, Jun Mo Xie couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity.
This person before him was the last remaining princess of the great royal family, a prideful woman of distinguished birth, an absolute beauty at the prime of her life! A woman like this should be enjoying her life being pampered, with everything going smoothly in her life. But she was so ill-fated!
Throughout her growing years, aside from her mother and an outsider, Ye Gu Han, no one else gave her the tiniest affection or warmth in the family. When she had finally grown up after much difficulty, her mother died tragically in the hands of her own father, right before her eyes. The person who doted on her the most, Ye Gu Han, also decided to die together with his love.
But that father who was her enemy was killed in the battle for power!
A princess of a nation reduced to an orphan. Now, the world was vast and hazy to her, without a single blood relative left. She didn’t belong to this country, to any family or any relative! Aside from Jun Mo Xie, she no longer had anyone else that she could rely on! And Jun Mo Xie, to a certain extent, was still her foe who killed her father!
All the bizarre affairs of the world went as far as this!
All these countless misfortunes befalling upon one single person…
Yet all this was nothing more than the transformations of the world…
Your mother entrusted you to me before she passed…
Jun Mo Xie decided to say it after pondering for a while.
… and before Ye Gu Han passed, he also asked me to take good care of you…
Jun Mo Xie had faced great difficulty in saying this. It felt extremely awkward . I killed her father and brothers, and now I’m trying to take care of her… what is this nonsense? Why do I feel like a greater evil than an evil tyrant?
But Jun Mo Xie had to admit that he also didn’t wish to face Princess Ling Meng. This sort of feeling… not only was it uncomfortable for Princess Ling Meng, it was just as uncomfortable for him! No matter how much a villain the Emperor was, the blood ties between Princess Ling Meng and him could not be erased!
But this was what Murong Xiu Xiu and Ye Gu Han entrusted him with before their deaths. It was protection for Ling Meng! Similarly, Jun Mo Xie could not erase their affection! So he would just say it, and let Princess Ling Meng make the decision herself!
If Ling Meng chose to leave, Jun Mo Xie would naturally help make all necessary arrangements. But if she decided to stay, Jun Mo Xie would not oppose it. He would take it as the last thing he did for Murong Xiu Xiu and Ye Gu Han…
With regards to what followed after, he would just let nature take its course. Who knew what would happen.
Princess Ling Meng lowered her head, and her complexion was haggard and weak. Her impression of Jun Mo Xie had transformed from disgust, to curiosity, to admiration. And from gratitude for saving her life, it slowly evolved into the vague feelings of love… If she had heard of this news before this, she would probably be bashfully thrilled, but right now, she did not feel the tiniest bit of happiness…
Her heart was already completely filled with another matter!
She went from owning everything to losing everything in such a short period of time, that to her, it seemed like it was within a few seconds!
Before her mother died, she still had everything. The moment before her mother died, she was already unconscious, and by the time she woke up, everything was gone. Everything had completely changed…
It was the same as waking up from sleep and realizing that the entire world had changed!
A feeling like this was similar to the legendary transmigration. Transmigrating from Earth over to the Xuan Xuan Continent after waking up… but Princess Ling Meng had so many more sorrows than people who transmigrate…
It was indeed too difficult to bear!
Listen to me, Ling Meng. You have to get yourself together; perhaps I shouldn’t be saying this now, but we are pressed for time. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. Due to some reasons… at daybreak tomorrow, the entire Jun Family will retreat from Tian Xiang and move into the Tian Fa Forest and stay away from the regular mortal world!
Jun Mo Xie continued.
If you do not have any other arrangements, perhaps you can choose to leave with us. If you wish to stay, then I can inform Prince Equivalent to take good care of you. Prince Equivalent is an honest and considerate person; he will definitely treat you well.
Jun Mo Xie slowly explained the situation the Jun Family would be facing.
I can only give you half a night to consider. I’m sorry.
I…
A flush appeared on Princess Ling Meng’s beautiful face, but she spoke with great determination.
Jun Mo Xie, I really do not wish to remain stuck in this world of disgusting, ugly crimes. I wholeheartedly wish to move to a more deserted place where no one knows me and spend the rest of my life there quietly… From now on, all worldly matters have nothing to do with me! I think… you can help me with this, right? Please don’t misunderstand. I do not mean to cling onto you; I just want to go to some place and spend my life peacefully…
Jun Mo Xie grinned and thought: A deserted place? Isn’t that Tian Fa Forest? As expected, the Heaven is thinking of me longingly… You still want me to not misunderstand? You won’t cling onto me? Who are you kidding?!
But on his face, he wore an expression as if everything had clicked together. He clapped his hands together.
So coincidental! It is truly the will of the Heavens! Isn’t Tian Fa Forest perfect for your request… Um, please don’t misunderstand, I do not mean that I… Um… That’s just so coincidental… isn’t it?
Yes, we are just taking what we need…
Princess Ling Meng said sadly.
Since we need to set off tomorrow morning, then I wish to offer burn incense for my mother and Uncle Ye. I’m afraid that I may not have many opportunities to do so after this…
Jun Mo Xie heaved a sigh of relief and replied,
No problem. I will go make arrangements for you right now. It’ll be quick.
Late at night.
The Grave of the Affectionate Couple!
Princess Ling Meng knelt before the grave devotedly. Although the pain in her knee cap was tearing her up from the inside, and although this prolonged kneeling would only tax her bones and even perhaps cause this old injury that was on its way to recovery to act up again and result in permanent damage, she still stubbornly refused everyone’s kind persuasion, obstinately kneeling there…
The smoke of burning incense lingered in the air, and countless paper money lit up the night sky.
‘I would rather fall and wither, wandering the netherworld alone than have any regrets for my deep love in this life! If there is unfinished affinity in the next life still, I would sooner let down the heavens than let down my dearest!’
Princess Ling Meng looked upon this giant tombstone with dreary eyes as she mumbled,
Mother, Uncle Ye… I am leaving… Your little Meng’er is really going to leave; she’s leaving this place, to a faraway place… I genuinely wish the two of you can meet in the Netherworld, truly become husband and wife, and always be of one mind… Uncle Ye, I wish… that I was your daughter! If there is a next life, I want to be your real little Meng’er, along with Mother… I will be good… Father… Mother…
Suddenly, Princess Ling Meng understood the real meaning behind her name. Little Meng’er, Meng’er… wasn’t this her mother’s greatest wish! To spend her life with the person she loved, with Ye Gu Han. She had no other hopes in life, only in dreams…
So her mother named her as Ling Meng 1
, nickname, Meng’er…
This was her mother’s dream! But it was also Uncle Ye’s dream! Today, the two of them were lying under this cold tombstone! So Princess Ling Meng cried from the bottom of her heart.
Father! Mother!
She was her mother’s only daughter. Shouting ‘father’ was helping her mother and Uncle Ye accomplish their greatest dream!
In the next life, I will still want to be your daughter; no matter how poor or lowly, how simple our lives are, but… to be able to have parents like this in my life, that is my biggest dream…
The night wind blew, lifting up some paper ashes that had yet to finish burning. It danced and fluttered about in the air, as if Murong Xiu Xiu and Ye Gu Han were nodding their heads, feeling satisfied and bidding farewell to their daughter reluctantly… Wishing their daughter peace and happiness…
If there is the chance, Little Meng’er will come back to visit you. Father, Mother, Meng’er is leaving now…
Princess Ling Meng looked at the tombstone before her longingly. Turning back once every three steps, tears streamed down her beautiful face…
The wind blew louder, and the leaves of the pines and cypresses in the Grave of the Affectionate Couple rustled and shook in the darkness…
Princess Ling Meng heard it clearly. That rustling noise of the leaves was Mother and Uncle Ye gently looking at her back, gently reminding her: Meng’er, have a safe journey… Take good care of yourself, and don’t let us worry…
Princess Ling Meng suddenly turned around, and using all the energy and strength in her body, she wailed,
Father! Mother!
Then, she suddenly knelt to the ground, wailing hysterically…
…
Dawn.
Outside the Jun Residence!
Under the lead of the new Emperor, Yang Huai Nong, all of the court officials of Tian Xiang had gathered here to send the Jun Family off.
All the members of the Dugu Family had also gathered here. Old Dugu Zong Heng stood upright, supporting his old madam. Dugu Wu Di brought his seven sons. Heavy reluctance to part was evident on everyone’s faces.
The corners of the old madam’s eyes were already stained with tears…
On the other side, Li You Ran stood beside Tang Yuan—one fat, one slim—contrasting nicely. Hai Chen Feng and Song Shang stood behind Tang Yuan, looking at the door of the Jun Residence with reluctance on their faces…
The Jun Family was done with their preparations. Their doors slowly opened. Jun Zhan Tian, Jun Wu Yi, Jun Mo Xie, and the rest slowly walked out. Dugu Xiao Yi leapt out, running into the arms of her grandmother, crying…
