Chapter 117 Auspicious Wishes (35)

The steaming food on the table blurred Yi Yi's vision and face, making it impossible for the two sisters to see each other's expressions.

"Is this all you wanted to say to me? If that's all, then I'll head back now."

As she spoke, Yi Yi stood up as if to leave.

Zhu Qianxiao immediately stood up to stop her.

Perhaps because she stood up too suddenly, Zhu Qianxiao swayed slightly, but was eventually steadied by Yi Yi.

Once Zhu Qianxiao recovered, she saw Yi Yi clinging to her arm and abruptly shook off her hand, resisting like a ruffled little animal, saying, "You murderer! Don't touch me!"

Huang Li was actually fine, but she thought of the innocent souls she had killed, and even her Uncle Zhu who had just passed away a few days ago.

Yi Yi lowered her head and did not refute.

Seeing this, Zhu Qianxiao became even more certain of her guess.

As the speculation was confirmed, Zhu Qianxiao was not happy.

Instead, she fell into a state of emotional collapse: "Why did you kill Huang Li? If it's because I ran away from home, then punish me! Why force me to marry Ma Yuliang? The Zhu family can already do without having to cater to General Ma's whims, yet you're still trying to please the Ma family! Why bind me with so many rules and regulations? Why do you say it's for my own good but I can't feel your love at all?"

Zhu Qianxiao, in a state of collapse, questioned Yi Yi, repeatedly punching her.

Yi Yi let her rage on, only retreating slightly to avoid it after Yi Yi actually hit her hard enough to hurt her.

After a series of wailing questions, Zhu Qianxiao asked her final question with a sorrowful tone, each word dripping with anguish: "Aren't we... each other's only family? Why can't you understand me?"

"Then Zhu Qianxiao, what about you? Can you even understand me?" Compared to Zhu Qianxiao's heart-wrenching question, Yi Yi's tone was calm and composed when she posed the question.

It was like the faint echo of a stone thrown into a long-abandoned well.

But it sounded more like a simple narration, which chilled Zhu Qianxiao to the bone.

With the last glimmer of hope in her heart, she raised her head, approached step by step, and looked at Yi Yi, saying each word clearly, "Then, can we have a proper talk?"

Yi Yi was forced to retreat step by step by Zhu Qianxiao's approaching figure until she was blocked by the screen separating the inner and outer rooms.

Just as she managed to steady the screen that she had bumped into, Zhu Qianxiao's figure approached again.

Yi Yi finally couldn't hold back and slapped Zhu Qianxiao across the face: "But Xiaoxiao, I've told you everything I need to say. I'm doing this all for your own good!"

One sentence, one slap, shattered Zhu Qianxiao's last remaining hope.

"Why... is it that line again?" Zhu Qianxiao could no longer hold back and covered her face, bursting into tears.

Without the pretense of fierceness, she just stood there crying.

Like an abandoned child, helpless and desperate.

But this attitude did not seem to elicit any pity from Yi Yi. She coldly walked past Zhu Qianxiao and went to the door to knock.

After opening the door from the outside, she said as she stepped over the threshold, "Go and reheat the young lady's dinner and bring it to her properly. But it won't taste good if you reheat it, so you can go and be punished then!"

These words were clearly meant for Zhu Qianxiao, implying that the servants should take good care of the young lady or face punishment.

The implication was clear: You should eat well and wait to get married, otherwise more people will be punished because of you.

Hearing this, Zhu Qianxiao, who was crying uncontrollably, understood what she meant.

The crying stopped abruptly. She stood up and tried to pull Yiyi back, but the closed door stopped her.

Yi Yi heard her heartbroken cries from inside the door: "Come back! Zhu Yi Yi, come back to me! What right do you have to arrange my life! All these years, has everything you've done just to climb to this position for yourself? What about everyone else?! You..."

Yi Yi walked away on her own, leaving Zhu Qianxiao's voice behind.

After leaving the courtyard, she walked faster and faster until her wailing questions could no longer be heard, and then she stopped.

She looked down at the snow on the ground and swept it aside with her feet, but some snowdrifts were unruly; as she pushed some up, many more fell down.

So Yiyi repeatedly swept the snow on the road to both sides with her feet, sweeping faster and faster, and kicking the snow in larger and larger arcs.

Until the pure white snow turned grayish, until the thick snow revealed the soaked black flagstone path beneath...

Until the two servants she had left behind caught up with her.

The repetitive, mechanical tapping sounds were interrupted by two more disordered footsteps, and Yi Yi stopped what she was doing.

Silently glancing back at the maid who had caught up and was still panting, Yi Yi turned gracefully, tossing her cloak in a beautiful arc, and said, "Go back to my courtyard!"

Yi Yi regretted it after dumping him...

I shouldn't have dumped her...

so cold...

However, this was necessary for the plot. Zhu Qianxiao's last argument with her sister, and the slap she received from her sister, laid the foundation for her to agree to fake her death to completely break away from the Zhu family.

But still... my conscience... is a little aching...

But her face remained calm and composed. She ignored the two maids following behind her and walked back to her own courtyard on her own.

In the courtyard, Zhu Yu had been waiting for a long time.

Yi called him into the room alone and bluntly instructed him, "From now on, you will keep an eye on the young lady."

Zhu Yu accepted the order and was about to leave to Zhu Qianxiao's side.

Yi Yi stopped him again: "In a couple of days, a man will be meeting the young lady disguised as a temporary worker who doesn't live in the house. Be careful to let them meet quietly."

The assassin accepted the order without asking why. Although he found Yi Yi's actions strange, he still obediently did as she said.

"Oh, and also, listen to their plan. If necessary, act accordingly and cooperate with them to complete the plan without making a sound," Yi Yi added.

"Yes!" Zhu Yu replied, kneeling on the ground.

After a while, Yi looked at him and saw that he was still kneeling on the ground without moving an inch.

He asked with some confusion, "Why are you still kneeling?"

"I'm waiting for the patriarch to add anything," Zhu Yu answered honestly.

Hearing this gave Yi Yi another headache.

She propped her hands on the table beside her, propped her head up with a somewhat speechless expression, and said, "That's all. Now you can start looking after the young lady!"

Having received this reply, Zhu Yu got up and left.

After doing all this, Yi Yi, feeling utterly bored, took a tangerine from the fruit basket on the table, peeled it, and stood there blankly without any intention of eating it.

The finale is almost here!

Oh right! We need to spread the word that the Ma-Zhu marriage is taking place in half a month!

Then, Liang Churen, along with Master Liang, devised a plan to fake his death and escape from the wedding. He then infiltrated the Zhu residence to discuss the plan with Zhu Qianxiao.

The subsequent plan was met with the support and cooperation of many comrades.

After that, Zhu Qianxiao also gained true freedom and went to the battlefield in the northwest to do what she thought was meaningful.

"Keep it up, Xiaoxiao."

Unexpected words slipped out, and Yi Yi covered her mouth in surprise.

Then, with a bit of wit, she didn't investigate further and started eating tangerines.
