1425 Cheng Xin’er’s Thoughts (3)

The City Lord’s wife looked helpless and exposed her daughter mercilessly. “You were able to defeat a spiritual beast at the fifth level of Qi practicing because of the guards secretly helping you. Otherwise, would you still be able to talk to me, your mother, right now?”

Being exposed by her mother, Cheng Xin’er looked a bit guilty again and said in a weak voice, “Even though the guards helped, I still contributed the most.”

The City Lord’s wife suddenly stopped and her expression became solemn.

Seeing this, Cheng Xin’er’s heart skipped a beat and she immediately stood up obediently.

“Xin’er, you’ve done so much for Liang Yingjun all these years. Have you thought that there won’t be any results?” The City Lord’s wife said earnestly.

Cheng Xin’er’s eyes flickered. “Mother, what are you talking about? When did I do anything for Liang Yingjun?”

Cheng Xin’er obviously looked guilty, so how could she hide it from the City Lord’s wife?

“Xin’er, just because Mother didn’t say anything doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know. You like Liang Yingjun, right?”

“Mother…”

Cheng Xin’er’s heart tightened and she clenched her fists unconsciously. “Mother, I… No, I didn’t. How could I possibly like…”

Cheng Xin’er wanted to deny it, but she was interrupted by the wife of the City Lord. “Xin’er, I’m not objecting. I just hope you think it through. There are many things that you can’t turn back after taking a wrong step.” Just like her back then.

Of course, the wife of the City Lord didn’t say the last sentence, nor was there a need to.

Meeting her mother’s concerned gaze, Cheng Xin’er’s originally panicked heart gradually calmed down.

After a long silence, Cheng Xin’er said dejectedly, “But Liang Yingjun doesn’t like me. I… met him first.”

God knew how much her heart ached every time she saw Liang Yingjun with Cheng Su’er.

And when she found out that Cheng Su’er humiliated Liang Yingjun on the street, she fought with Cheng Su’er furiously.

Even if she wasn’t Cheng Su’er’s match three years ago.

In the three years that the Liang family had been in decline, whenever she heard news that someone bullied Liang Yingjun, she would rush over immediately and use a lousy excuse to help him out.

So, in the past three years, her reputation for being unruly and willful had become even more prominent.

However, she never regretted it.

“Silly child, if you don’t say anything, how will others know your feelings? You’ll only get the real answer if you say it. Even if he rejected you, at least you’ve already tried, right?”

The City Lord’s wife slowly pulled her daughter into her arms and comforted her gently, “Xin’er, don’t worry. I definitely won’t let your father arrange a marriage alliance for you. I only hope that you and your brother will marry the person you like and support each other with the person you like until you grow old together.”

Cheng Xin’er hugged her mother tightly, her eyes slightly red and her voice choked. “Thank you, Mother. It’s so good to be your daughter in this life…”

“Silly child…”

The eyes of the City Lord’s wife also turned red, and a certain thought in her mind became even more determined.

…

On this day, Lu Zijia was drawing inscriptions in her room when the golden pagoda suddenly knocked open the door and broke into her barrier.

“Master, your uncle is awake.”

Knowing that its master could multitask, the golden pagoda wasn’t afraid of disturbing her. It jumped onto the table.

Lu Zijia was delighted to hear that, and she drew the inscription on her hand much faster.
