Chapter 670: Mind Your Own Business About the Fairy (29)
She owed nothing to these two children.
The elder sister took care of her because she was lucky enough to grow up beside her. It became a companionship for many years, and the elder sister treated her like a younger sister, purely out of her affection.
She took care of the two children because she felt sorry for them and couldn’t bear not to. Young Madam Chang’s heart was hurt here, and she left resolutely.
The only one who could look after these two children was her.
Twenty years later, when the two children, with faces full of anger, questioned her, asking if she had appeared to seduce their father, causing their mother to leave heartbroken, and clamored to find their mother.
In the eyes of the two children, there was no longer any affection towards her.
Only shame and anger, finding out that the one who raised them was such a person, was nothing short of a disgrace in their lives.
Lann Zhen didn’t know what to say, and several times she opened her mouth but couldn’t explain.
Even if she explained, would they believe her?
The two children didn’t bring their mother back; she never showed up, so naturally, they blamed Lann Zhen for this.
The two children joined forces to take control of the family business, leaving Lann Zhen completely idle.
Under their cold words, she moved into the smallest room in the mansion.
She still didn’t explain, unable to. The children knowing these things must have been the doing of someone with intent.
She didn’t want to dwell on it anymore, only pondering what she had pursued in this life.
Lann Zhen carefully recalled everything from when she became conscious, feeling how much these few decades overlapped.
Back then, she chose Chang Xian without hesitation, hurting her elder sister’s heart, just as these two children she raised herself felt she drove away their mother, also hurting her heart.
"Elder sister, I’m sorry."
Lann Zhen found a piece of wood and personally carved a deity statue, kneeling before it to repent daily.
She no longer expected her elder sister to forgive her; it was a heaviness in her heart, so heavy that she wanted to end this mortal life every day. But this is a mortal’s life, the life she deserved.
"She has repented."
Xuan Shuang was talking about Lann Zhen’s recent years when Qiann Yan suddenly interrupted her, saying there was really nothing more to say.
Since the two children learned about their birth mother, Lann Zhen spent more time in that small room, repenting before the elder sister’s deity statue.
For the first time, Qiann Yan felt a connection from the deity statue, and her consciousness moved along that link.
A trace of awareness was unexpectedly covered on that wooden deity statue, seeing a Lann Zhen full of the marks of time, devoutly kneeling on the cold floor without a cushioned mat.
Qiann Yan could clearly feel Lann Zhen’s repentance, yet she still wasn’t much moved.
She wasn’t the true original being, so she couldn’t be moved. She felt Lann Zhen deserved whatever ending came her way.
As if mere repentance could bring things back to the way they were?
Even sincere regret, is it worthy of forgiveness?
Impossible!
In this regard, she still respected the original being’s feelings. Everyone has their own perspective, so she intended to ask the original being.
Asking is one thing, but she wouldn’t change her previous decision just because Lann Zhen regretted it and let her return to become an Immortal.
Not even worth considering.
Even if the original being forgave her, she shouldn’t even think about it.
It was agreed before, she would do as she wished, and the original being couldn’t interfere.
System 666, under immense pressure, faced its Host’s indifferent gaze and inquired: [Venerable, what do you think of this matter?]
"Weren’t you handling it well, my friend?" The woman opened her indifferent eyes.
