This is the second time someone has asked her if she has thought it through.
The first time was from her own brother.
Princess Jinfeng slightly nodded.
Her brother did not agree with her degrading herself to become a concubine for Leng Binghan.
Yet she couldn’t lower herself to become a concubine for Leng Binghan either.
Yun Jinnian took a deep breath, "Princess, as a woman, only by loving yourself, maintaining self-respect and self-love, can you shine bright and make the person you like both love and respect you!"
"Love is not just about giving, following, or having to win; it also involves understanding, tolerance, and letting go!"
"You bore him a child, and though there’s no credit, there is hardship. You followed him to Dongwu, filled with affection and righteousness, yet he still doesn’t cherish you, cannot see your efforts, and refuses to fight for you. Such a man does not deserve your love, nor your following!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Jinfeng burst into tears.
She didn’t want this either.
But when love runs deep, what else can she do but follow?
"The future is long, and you have many choices. You will definitely meet someone who can make you happy, make you laugh, and treat you like a treasure, not let you wander aimlessly. Even if you cry, they will be tears of happiness and joy!"
Instead of this current grievance and heartache.
Unable to see the path ahead, how should she proceed?
Chasing all the way to Dongwu Country, how much courage was needed then, just like secretly giving birth to Nuannuan back then, if not for Leng Binghan, she wouldn’t have dared.
Firstly, afraid of gossip, secondly, afraid of Chu Yu.
Though pampered by the late emperor beyond measure, she truly feared Chu Yu.
So when she learned Leng Binghan was to marry a wife, and she could only be a concubine, she quarreled with him.
What did Leng Binghan say at that time?
She had forgotten the original tone of those words, but combining them implied that she willingly followed him, who could she blame?
At that moment, Leng Binghan was so unfamiliar, so leaving her at a loss.
All her courage and perseverance collapsed in an instant.
If he had even the slightest affection for her, he wouldn’t talk about her .
So she returned, listened to her brother’s advice, and decided never to go to Dongwu again.
Yun Jinnian sighed, hugging Princess Jinfeng, letting her cry, letting out all grievances and resentment, and to become once again the arrogant and domineering Princess Jinfeng of the past, rather than living without dignity for a man.
Just like her previous life, so silly, so foolish.
Chu Yu in the next room, listening to his sister cry, felt indescribable emotions.
But he utterly hated Leng Binghan.
No matter what Leng Binghan was thinking, at this moment, he decided he will never forgive Leng Binghan in the future.
Nor would he let him see his sister again.
Until the crying turned hoarse, Princess Jinfeng finally looked up while sobbing, gratefully gazing at Yun Jinnian, "Thank you, Jinnian, I feel much better now!"
Crying in front of her brother felt like she was wronged.
It also felt repressed.
Crying in front of Yun Jinnian meant she was truly saying goodbye to the past.
Yun Jinnian got up, took the teapot and poured tea for Princess Jinfeng, "Soothes your throat, and tidy up your tearful face. Your brother will surely come in a while!"
Princess Jinfeng responded.
Only then did Yun Jinnian help her wash her face, let Hemei and Henuan come in, and opened the window to let the air circulate in the room.
Saying a few amusing remarks, Princess Jinfeng finally broke into a smile.
"I don’t know since when you could even tell jokes!"
