Long Rui’s voice was full of indulgence: "If you like it, you can take it ho and raise it."
Xuexue shook her head and said, "No, it would be too pitiful to cage it. A little bird has wings and should fly freely in the sky."
"Madam is truly kind-hearted."
Xuexue smiled without speaking. Kindness depends on the person and the situation.
The matter of Mo Hengjian, she knew. So villagers were secretly gossiping behind her back, saying she had risen to prominence and lost her conscience. Originally, Mo Hengjian’s life was spared, but Xuexue had the maid bring that Matchmaker back, which led to Mo Hengjian’s demise.
If Mo Hengjian had survived, Madam Ruan wouldn’t have gone mad, setting fire to the old residence in the middle of the night, causing the Mo family to perish, leaving them without descendants.
However, because the villagers feared Xuexue’s status, they didn’t dare to openly gossip, only doing so secretly behind her back.
As for these things, Xuexue didn’t mind. She pretended not to hear. Living a second life, she no longer cared much about others’ opinions. What mattered was her own comfort. How others thought, she couldn’t control.
Mo Hengjian killed soone. He didn’t deserve to die, but did Huang Cuihua deserve to?
These villagers are ridiculously ignorant.
As for Madam Ruan, because her son was sentenced to death, in her heartbreak, she lost her mind and burned her whole family. They bla this on her too?
Xuexue felt speechless. Anyway, they could say whatever they wanted; it wouldn’t cause her any loss.
Xuexue smiled as she looked at the little bird in her palm, slowly opening her hand: "Little bird, fly away. The sky is your true ho."
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The little bird chirped at Xuexue a few tis, spread its wings, and flapped its way into the air.
As for Xuexue’s actions, Big Bull just smiled. As long as madam was happy.
After all, they were now in the mountains. Xuexue thought of hunting so ga. In the outskirts of the mountain, small animals like wild rabbits and ducks were nearly hunted clean by the nearby hunters, so they had to go deeper into the mountains. In the Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests, there are many fierce beasts, and local villagers generally dare not enter.
Long Rui and Xuexue walked at the front, while Long Yi and Zi Xia followed at a distance, ready to help their masters if given any orders or if they encountered danger.
The deeper they went into the mountains, the denser the forest beca. Century-old towering trees were everywhere.
Thorny vines were everywhere, and if you weren’t careful, you’d get caught.
"Oh!"
Xuexue cried out in surprise, her calf caught by a sharp vine. The vine had many small thorns, as sharp as needles, and so had already pierced through her clothes into her flesh.
"Madam, what’s wrong?"
"Got caught by a vine."
"Co over here and sit down, let take a look."
Long Rui helped Xuexue over to a large, smooth stone and sat her down. He crouched down, lifted her skirt, revealing her fair calf...
Sure enough, the once smooth calf was pierced with small nails-like thorns, so of which had gone entirely into her flesh.
"Madam, bear with the pain. I’ll pull them out for you."
"Okay."
A little pain was nothing to Xuexue.
In her past life, she had endured countless trials, so a few thorns were nothing in her eyes.
Long Rui carefully pulled out all the thorns and even took out so dicine to apply onto her.
The dicine Long Rui carried was priceless, extrely good dicine.
A cool sensation spread through her body. Xuexue felt extrely comfortable, although she felt that for a few thorns, Long Rui was making a big fuss by applying such good dicine. Though she thought it was a bit of a waste, her heart still felt warm and sweet.
