Chapter 312 Three Women Crying at the Same Time
"Sister Yan, why aren't you saying anything?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Xie Xuanji stroked her chin and analyzed to herself, "Logically speaking, since Sister Yan is half Gu Cang and half Yuan Qi, she shouldn't have to abide by any broken rules about not communicating with outsiders. So if she goes back to Yuan Qi, she should be able to marry someone from Yuan Qi or another country, right?"
"Nonsense!"
The sudden, cold rebuke startled the group.
“Yan’er is the most noble princess of my Gu Cang, how could she be a Yuan Qi person? Besides, Yan’er is only eighteen years old and still young. We can discuss marriage in a few years. I will choose a worthy husband for Yan’er in Gu Cang.”
Xin Moyan: "..."
She silently extended one index finger and waved it in front of Xie Xuanji.
"Sister Yan, what does this mean?"
Everyone stared at the index finger, completely bewildered.
"A little bit."
"Sister Yan, what do you mean by 'a little bit'?"
"A little bit."
Xin Moyan lowered her eyes and repeated it again.
"Yan'er?" Seeing her unusual behavior, Shui Yi was extremely worried.
Suddenly, she looked up sharply, her gaze fixed on Xie Xuanji, her emotions growing increasingly agitated, and her voice rising accordingly.
"Just a little bit! Just a little bit more, and I... I would have been able to see Xuanyuan and my brother. If you hadn't kidnapped me here, I wouldn't have been separated from them."
"What do you mean by not communicating with outsiders? That's all bullshit! Let me tell you, even if this is where my mother was born, even if you are my own cousins, you can't stop me from leaving here. I won't abide by your rules. I have someone I love, his name is Xuan Yuan. If it weren't for you, I would have married Yuan Yuan long ago!"
Xin Moyan blurted out everything on her mind. It was bad enough that they were controlling her personal freedom, but now they were interfering with her life's most important matter. She couldn't just sit and wait to die; she had to find a way to leave Gu Cang.
At the same time, the air pressure around the sheer cliffs dropped lower and lower, and a chilling cold swept over them. The already aloof and ascetic features of the cliffs were now like ancient glaciers, never melted by the warm sun, making them awe-inspiring.
Xie Xuanji and Baili Juexi both took a step back. They only ever saw the Emperor with this expression when dealing with death row inmates in the Frozen Purgatory.
"Yan'er".
He called out in a low voice, looking at Xin Moyan with an unyielding and authoritative gaze.
"Your aunt chose your father back then, a foreign general. It was a wrong marriage, and you have seen the consequences. Now that we have found you, you are the most noble princess of Gu Cang. I will not let you follow in your aunt's footsteps. I know you are engaged in Yuan Qi, but in my eyes, none of that matters. As for your brother, I will send someone to bring him here. You don't need to think about that person. In time, he will forget about you."
"Impossible! Yuanyuan can't have forgotten me. Maybe...maybe he's on his way to find me right now."
"Ah!"
Baili Juebi couldn't help but let out a cold sneer, "Looking for you? To the four kingdoms, Gu Cang is nothing but an unknown country. Even the history books dare not record it with certainty. Yan'er, what makes you think that man would come looking for you?"
"Because of his love for me, I believe in Xuan Yuan, and I'm sure he'll come looking for me!"
She practically screamed the last sentence, her voice trembling with tears. Her vision blurred as she cried, unsure whether it was from frustration or uncertainty about the future, but she just wanted to cry!
Since arriving in this world, she has been constantly being chased or kidnapped. All she wants is to live a good life with her brother, Xuan Yuan, and Buyu. She hasn't seen them for two or three months. How much longer will this happen?
"Yan... Sister Yan, please stop crying, big brother, don't scare your sister, let's talk this out!"
Baili Juexi's heart tightened, and he quickly took out a small handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Shuiyi.
"Yi'er, quickly wipe your sister's face."
He knew that his little cousin was very stubborn and not as easy to coax as Xing'er, so he didn't dare to go up to her rashly. At least his little cousin could listen to Yi'er for a few words.
"Yan'er, don't... don't cry."
Shui Yi's eyes were also filled with tears, but she tried her best to force the tears that were welling up in her eyes back.
"Waaaaah~ Sister Yi'er."
She suddenly rushed forward, hugged Shuiyi tightly, and burst into tears, all the anxiety and grievances of the past few days erupting at this moment.
"Sister, I...do we never get back? Waaah~ I really miss brother so much, he must be so worried about us..."
Listening to this aggrieved lament, Shui Yi's throat became terribly dry. It was all her fault. If she had appeared later, or if she had been prepared before the Nightless Night's operation, Yan'er wouldn't have been kidnapped to Night's Lair, and the elders wouldn't have discovered her whereabouts. If Yan'er had gotten married that day, she would definitely be living a peaceful life in Yuanqi now, and she wouldn't have been separated from A-Ling and her brother...
The sorrowful atmosphere of the two embracing and weeping touched everyone present, including Baili Juebi, who raised an eyebrow and was slightly moved.
"Sister Yan, Sister Shuiyi, please stop crying! If you keep crying... if you keep crying, even the stars will cry! Waaaaah~"
As Xie Xuanji was speaking, she suddenly burst into tears.
Baili Juexi's vision went black. He hadn't been able to persuade one or two people, so why was Xiaoxing'er joining in the fun?
They say three women make a drama, but what if three women are crying at the same time?
The cries rose and fell, one wave higher than the next, until finally, the two of them went from loud sobbing to quiet whimpering, and gradually stopped, staring blankly at Xie Xuanji who was wailing.
"Little...Little Star, why are you crying?"
"Waaaaah~ Sister Yan, don't mind me. I haven't cried in so long, I should have a good cry."
This……
Baili Juexi looked embarrassed, as if he had aired his dirty laundry in public. He casually raised his sleeve and wiped Xie Xuanji's face haphazardly.
"Little Xing'er, stop crying, your big brother is glaring at you!"
The crying stopped abruptly. Xie Xuanji, with her swollen eyes, looked up at everyone in a daze.
"I...I didn't mean to cry."
After this incident, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the name Yuan Qi, at least to avoid making Xin Moyan depressed.
At night, Xin Moyan lay on the Nine-Turn Warm Jade Bed. As soon as she closed her eyes, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, and her consciousness vaguely entered a white, misty space.
She walked barefoot, aimlessly, but her mind was clear. She knew that she was actually walking with her eyes closed. Perhaps it was her soul walking now. Was she about to travel through time again?
"Yan'er".
"Who?"
She glanced behind her, but there was no one there.
"Hehe~ Yan'er, I'm here!"
Following the sound of laughter, Xin Moyan looked up and saw the white mist dissipate, revealing a figure.
