Chapter 329: Three Years of Mourning (2)
Jin Yun couldn’t help looking into her eyes. A person’s eyes would never lie.
But he saw only eyes filled with joy and absolute sincerity.
She wanted to tell him that hope wasn’t God’s lie, but something worthy of his conviction.
So, she said, “You are a kind and sincere person. In my opinion, you are more outstanding than anyone in Yuheng.”
Jin Yun couldn’t help but smile. That smile drove away all of the mist, and under the lights, the beauty was absolutely dazzling! His eyes were glowing, filling with hope once more.
His smile was so beautiful that even Gong Yimo could not help but be stunned.
“Actually, you’re the reason I thought about being a diva in the very beginning.”
Gong Yimo pointed to her own nose. “Because of me?”
“It’s true.” He lowered his head down to a beautiful angle. “At first, I thought of a lot of ways to make money, but I couldn’t make ends meet. The royal palace was like a bottomless pit... Later, I heard about your...deeds.”
He laughed. “A woman can even take care of her young brother and free herself from the cold palace, writing a new story for herself. I suddenly wanted to see, and to sympathize, how you did it. But I needed to earn money and I could not get myself out of that, so I finally thought about turning into a diva and singing around the country.”
Gong Yimo’s jaw was dropped. For a long time, she was speechless. No wonder she had never heard of the no.1 beauty in her past life. Turns out she was the one that changed Jin Yun’s life completely.
Gong Yimo suddenly felt confident! Destiny can be changed, so while working to stop the tragedy, she will also definitely be able to fulfill her dreams!
She was confident!
The night was warm.
However, far away in Dayu, in the marquis’ residence, torches were lit in the middle of the night, and people would come and go occasionally.
Seeing that the lady was about to be married, but the marquis’ mother was still ill in bed. If she really died, then the lady must mourn her for three years in an act of filial piety. How could the prince wait three years?
Su Miaolan was anxiously watching the doctors pacing around the house. It was late, but she did not feel like sleeping at all.
“How could she just fall ill all of a sudden?”
She secretly ground her teeth. In her heart, she was cursing her for causing her trouble!
It was only five days. Five days! And she was going to be married to the prince! She had already made up her mind. When the doctors come out, she will tell them, at all costs, drag it on for just five days!
She was just thinking about how she was going to convince her father to use some sort of strong medicine, but she did not expect to hear a cry from inside the house!
Then, an old woman grieved. “The mistress...she’s passed!”
As soon as that voice reached Su Miaolan’s ears, it felt like thunder! She felt the world shaking around her, and she nearly fainted!
But her own mother who had been standing by her side the whole time quickly helped her stand.
“What are you worried about!” Marchioness Zhang Shi whispered to her.
Su Miaolan’s eyes were teary. “What do I do, mother? How could she die? How...”
Zhang Shi quickly held her mouth! When she saw that nobody was paying attention to them, she let her go and whispered by her ear.
“No matter how you feel right now, cry! Do not say a single word of complaint!”
Su Miaolan had been sad to begin with, so hearing that made her even sadder. She could have died at any time, but she really died at a good time!
Grievances could be seen in her beautiful eyes, and quietly, she began to sob as if she was really sad.
But in her heart...a sinister plan was forming!
She did not care. So what if she died? The position of crown princess can only belong to her!
