They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 444 Seeing Myself

Granny Qin Qing was also dumbfounded. She couldn't bear to see Lu Yin act foolishly, so she quickly nudged her gently, "Miss Lu, are you feeling unwell? Madam, Miss Lu was perfectly fine just now, this..."

She was also puzzled as to why things had suddenly turned out this way.

She wanted to say a few more words in support of Lu Yin, but then she realized it wouldn't be appropriate, since she was, after all, the madam's person, so she quickly shut her mouth.

Looking at Lu Yin, Xu Zhichun couldn't help but feel a strange feeling welling up inside him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"Is this Miss Lu? Don't worry, Miss Lu. We were just passing through on our way to the capital and took a walk on the shore. We rescued you by chance. Fortunately, you are alright. Once you are better, you can leave."

They would never make things difficult for her or restrict her freedom.

Isn't this what a young woman fears most when she's all alone in a strange place?

If she were to run into some malicious villain who took the opportunity to detain her, in this day and age, she would truly be helpless.

So Xu Zhichun comforted her very considerately.

Lu Yin's wandering thoughts were slightly pulled back. She glanced quickly at Xu Zhichun, then hurriedly looked away as if startled, nodded, and forced a smile: "Th-thank you."

"Miss Lu, you're too kind. It's getting late, you should get some rest."

Thank you.

Xu Zhichun smiled, gave her a deep look, and then turned and left.

"Miss Lu, don't be afraid. Our mistress is the kindest and most compassionate person. She often says that it's not easy for women and is very tolerant and kind to them. If you have any needs, just ask our mistress. She will definitely lend a helping hand. Please don't misunderstand our mistress or let her good intentions down."

After finishing her sentence, Granny Qin Qing hurriedly chased after Xu Zhichun.

She was also somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Yin, thinking to herself that she had just thought this girl was reasonable and knowledgeable, but she was so blind that she couldn't even tell right from wrong.

Fortunately, his wife is kind and gentle; if it were someone else's wife, she would have already lost her temper.

Granny Qin Qing followed Xu Zhichun to his room, where Mu Xiang was still complaining about how ungrateful Lu Yin was.

Seeing that Granny Qin had arrived, Xu Zhichun smiled and stopped Mu Xiang, "Granny, is Miss Lu alright?"

Granny Qin Qing smiled wryly, "This old servant is also confused. When she spoke to me earlier, her words and actions made her seem like someone who knew a bit about manners and etiquette, and had some knowledge. Who knew that she would act differently after meeting the Madam?"

"Tell me more about it."

"Yes."

Hearing what Granny Qin Qing said, Xu Zhichun was also puzzled.

So Lu Yin's expression changed drastically after seeing her?
"Hmm, am I scary?"

She couldn't help but touch her face.

Both Granny Qin Qing and Mu Xiang smiled.

"Madam, you must be joking."

"No, no, not at all! I think Lu Yin is just inexplicable."

Xu Zhichun couldn't figure it out, so she gave up on thinking about it. "We've only met by chance. Everyone has their own secrets, so let's not pry. Granny, thank you for your hard work tonight. Keep an eye on her and let her leave at dawn tomorrow. If she has no money, give her a few taels of silver."

Granny Qin Qing nodded and smiled with emotion, "Madam is indeed kind-hearted." As soon as they left, two lines of tears streamed down Lu Yin's cheeks. She bit her lip and choked back sobs, raising her hand to wipe away her tears.

The more I wiped away my tears, the more they flowed.

She saw herself.

In that one glance, she saw herself.

The woman before her had her hair tied up in a bun, and her attire was vastly different from before, but she knew it was herself. Although the spirit in those eyes no longer belonged to her, no one knew that body better than she did.

Pushed off the cliff by Bai, she was left barely alive. Afterwards, she was in a daze, her soul drifting aimlessly, not knowing where it went. During that time, she was completely confused, knowing nothing and remembering nothing. All she knew was that she had died unjustly and that she was unwilling to accept it.
When she opened her eyes and regained consciousness, she was Lu Yin, a peasant girl.

Lu Yin was born into an ordinary farming family that favored sons over daughters. Her parents were ordinary, illiterate farmers who possessed the vulgarity, ignorance, and greed typical of that type of person.

In the first few days after her rebirth, she was almost driven crazy and on the verge of collapse!
She felt completely out of place with them, unable to even exchange a word with them; the pain and despair she felt were indescribable.

She wanted to leave them and go to Liangjia Village to find Minglang and Mingxuan. She made many assumptions about how to leave, but then rejected them all.

She discovered with painful despair that it was too difficult.
It's so difficult that it's practically impossible.

She struggled to find out which county her small village belonged to, and couldn't find out which province it belonged to at all, because nobody knew, because it was too far removed from everyone's lives, so far that it was unnecessary to know.

She had no idea how far Liangjia Village was from her, in which direction it was, or how to get there.
It was then that she realized how lucky she was to have met Liang Minglang.

She could only live a life of pain and torment every day, with a tiny spark of hope flickering in her heart, and she herself didn't even know how long that spark could burn.

This tiny glimmer of hope, better than nothing, sustained her as she endured each day.

Until—her parents arranged a marriage for her.

Although they favored sons over daughters, they weren't actually that bad to her. They were just ordinary farmers treating their daughter. The marriage they arranged for her wasn't bad for Lu Yin herself.

The other family's financial situation was similar to theirs. The man was three years older than her, seemed honest and simple, had dark skin, and an average appearance. Her future mother-in-law's eyes were somewhat sharp and critical, but this was all normal. What mother-in-law doesn't want to give her future daughter-in-law a hard time?

Everything was normal except for her.

She simply couldn't convince herself to marry such a peasant who had nothing in common with her and many crude, vulgar, and unrefined little flaws, nor could she accept having such a mother-in-law and two hostile sisters-in-law who were eyeing her with predatory intent.

She did not tell her "parents" that she did not want to get married.

what's the point?
Not to mention that they would not pay any attention to her words, they might even give her a good scolding.

Even if they agree, would another company be better than this one? What qualitative difference would there be between them?

impossible.

She would be happy to never marry, but that's even more impossible.

Her parents would never allow it, and would even severely reprimand her, calling her crazy and abnormal.

She gritted her teeth and finally took the plunge, quietly leaving the village one night.

Let's leave first and talk about it later.

What happens next, we'll have to wait and see.

If fate truly intends to destroy her, she has no choice but to accept it.
