Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1342 - 1349: To Love Is To Trust (5)

Hearing Nangong Yi’s merciless condemnation, Nangong Yu blushed with shame, unable to show her face. Bowing her head and sobbing, she said in fits and starts, "Brother, you were never like this to me before, you used to dote on me, humor my every wish, but now..."

As she cried, she suddenly burst out, pointing her finger at Cai Wei, exclaiming sharply: "It’s all her fault, all because of this vixen; ever since she appeared, you’ve become estranged from me and Imperial Mother, your eyes and heart only have space for her, even treating her younger sister better than me. Brother, by acting this way, you really broke my heart and Imperial Mother’s too..."

Seeing that she was still unrepentant now, Nangong Yi was so enraged that his veins throbbed. He coldly said, "If it weren’t for the ’vixen’ you speak of, your elder brother would have long perished in Hell, turned to a pile of bones, and you and Mother wouldn’t have enjoyed the peaceful days you have now. If I were dead, even if you were still miraculously alive, you would have no idea how Jin Guifei and her son would have tormented you by now; saying that I’ve become estranged from you, have you ever reflected on what you have done? You conspired with that fool Helana to drug me, and with that poison woman Tuotuo to hex me with Gu. Do you have any idea of the consequences if I were affected by the Gu? If I was not merciful, you would have long been dead without a place to bury your body, how could you still have the chance to lose face in public and throw dirty water on the innocent?"

"I have never interfered in the affair between Zi Qi and Second Young Miss Mu, because from the beginning, I intended to let you fend for yourselves in fair competition. It was Zi Qi who didn’t choose you, how does that concern me? However, if I were Zi Qi, I certainly wouldn’t choose you either!"

"Stop talking, stop talking..."

Nangong Yu, with her hands over her ears, began to cry loudly, shouting, "I know I’m the one at fault, I’m stupid, I’m foolish, I’m willful, everyone hates me, despises me, not just you, even Brother Zi Qi dislikes me, no one likes me..."

Cai Wei said: "You are a high and mighty legitimate princess, who should be looked up to and revered. The reason you’ve become like a rat crossing the street is all due to your own actions. If I were you, I’d shut the door and reflect on myself earnestly, finding my own faults, turning over a new leaf, striving to stand up again and regain the respect of others, rather than shifting the blame for your mistakes onto others, trying to shirk the responsibilities you ought to bear."

Hearing this, Nangong Yu’s body slightly trembled. She stared blankly at Cai Wei, her crying gradually quieting down as the night breeze came. Curling her legs, she buried her face in her knees, and her faint sobs were drowned out by the murmuring stream...

Despite Nangong Yu being hateful, she was alone in the deep mountain; it was impossible for Nangong Yi and Cai Wei to abandon her and leave. Wild beasts often lurked in the mountain, and if she were really eaten by one, Nangong Yi would not feel at ease.

The romantic outing with his wife was ruined; Nangong Yi, angered at unachieved potential, glared at Nangong Yu, removed his cloak, and spread it on a rock by the creekside for Cai Wei to sit down.

The mountain breeze was gentle, the stream murmured, and in the tranquil forest, a few people sat silently without speaking.

Nangong Yu’s heart ached, and so did Nangong Yi’s. How could his mother and younger sister, who had always depended on each other for survival, become so unreasonable?

Cai Wei also looked languid, her mind preoccupied with Nangong Yu’s investigation into Fei’er’s affairs; she had even found out that the purse on Huo Yuan’s body was embroidered by Fei’er, indicating the effort she had put into her inquiry. freewebnoveℓ.com

This matter was strange; she was to blame, for she had given Fei’er’s belonging to Huo Yuan without much thought. She hoped that Mo Ziqi would not misjudge Fei’er because of this. If he truly harbored resentment, her sin would be grave indeed.
