“My Young Master died in battle at Nanling Pass. His coffin is on the way back to the capital.”
You Bai’s face suddenly turned pale. She suddenly turned to look at Yuan
Yuwan.
After a while, she said, “I understand. Go back and take good care of your Miss.
Don’t let the baby get affected.”
The maidservant bowed and left with an umbrella.
Yuan Yuwan pushed herself up and swayed.
You Bai went forward to help her up worriedly. When she got closer, she realized that her entire body was trembling. “Miss…”
“I’m tired. I’m going back to my room to rest.” Yuan Yuwan brushed her hand away and grabbed the unfinished handkerchief tightly. She turned around and entered the house.
Worried, You Bai followed behind her and watched as she took off her embroidered shoes, lifted the blanket, and lay down.
She was abnormally calm.
However, the more she acted like this, the more worried You Bai became. She choked and said, “Miss, if you feel uncomfortable, cry. Don’t hold it in alone.” Yuan Yuwan turned around and said, “I’m sleepy.”
You Bail s heart ached. She choked and said, “Alright, Miss, rest. I’ll guard you here.”
Since Yuan Yuwan did not speak, You Bai did not dare to disturb her. However, she felt terrible and could only grit her teeth to prevent herself from crying.
She wiped his tears again and again, but she could not fully wipe them away.
She did not understand. Her Miss was clearly such a good person. Why did the heavens have to be so cruel? Why couldn’t they treat her well at all?
Sadness filled the room. You Bai cried alone for a long time. When she was tired of crying, she fell asleep.
A thunderclap exploded. She woke up with a start and looked up to find that the person on the bed had disappeared.
You Bai’s face turned pale and she quickly ran out to look for her.
She first went to the east courtyard. The door of the rabbit cage was wide open, and there was only one rabbit curled up in a corner. The other rabbits had long disappeared.
It had been raining all these days. Worried that these rabbits would run around, the cage door had been closed.
You Bai guessed that Yuan Yuwan had been here almost instantly. She closed the cage door with trembling hands and looked elsewhere, but she couldn’t find Yuan Yuwan anywhere in the entire residence.
You Bai panicked completely. If anything happened to Miss, she didn’t want to live anymore.
Thinking of something, she rushed out of the courtyard without even taking her umbrella and ran towards the wooden house on the hillside not far away.
The rain became heavier. The bean-sized raindrops hurt her face, but the girl in front of the wooden house seemed not to notice. She dragged her machete with both hands and slashed at the wooden house again and again.
When You Bai arrived, the door of the wooden house had been completely destroyed. Rain drifted into the house, drenching the pitifully few things inside.
“Miss!” You Bai pounced on her and stopped her. She said with tears in his eyes, “Miss, what are you doing?”
Yuan Yuwan ignored her and continued slashing in another direction with a numb expression.
Noticing that her hands were bleeding, You Bails heart tightened. Her heart ached and she blamed herself. She did not dare to let it continue. She quickly went over and snatched the knife from her hand. She cried bitterly, “Miss, if you don’t want to see it, let’s get someone else to dismantle it, okay? I promise… I promise not to let it appear again, okay?”
Yuan Yuwan didn’t know what she had said, but she suddenly felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body. She sat down weakly.
“Miss!” You Bai wanted to help her up.
Yuan Yu suddenly spoke.
“I’m used to being sober in my life. I never dared to ask for too much, but he wouldn’t let me off. Why did he follow me? Why did he chase after me? Why…
Why did he shake my heart?” Yuan Yuwan closed her eyes while trembling. “Since he made a promise, why didn’t he keep it and come back alive?”
Why were the heavens so unfair?
“Why?” “Why?”
“Why!”
“Miss, I beg you. Let’s go back.”
“I can’t go back. I can’t go back anymore.” Yuan Yuwan collapsed in her arms and grabbed her clothes tightly.. “You Bai, my heart hurts…”
