Dong Huiying bit her lip, and then seemed to have made a decision. "I know I used to be indecisive, acted half-heartedly, and always escaped into my wild thoughts, avoiding reality. Being in this position, I failed to bear the responsibilities it entails. I am a disgraceful master’s wife." "In my belief, one must abide by the law, and killing is a crime, it’s sinful. But if my enemies are above the King’s Law, and the laws of this country cannot protect our safety, why should I obey these laws and let others oppress us, living a stifled life?" "I am not a demon who regards human life as worthless, but the reason the people of this country are willing to follow the law is because they are subdued by power and because they can hope that King’s Law will uphold justice for them." "But the situations we encounter are clearly not within this scope." Dong Huiying gently held his hand, "Zhi Chen, do not leave on your own, do not go alone, whatever the future holds, let’s face it together." "That day on the mountain, when you scolded Shu Yu and the others, you said that you just wanted the family to be whole, and I feel the same." "Even if we really have to take risks, we should do it together, can we?" "Besides, you shouldn’t have to bear all this pressure by yourself. I am the master’s wife, I can try to become more reliable. So, can you try to rely on me a little?" Zhi Chen’s throat tightened, this was probably the most touching confession he had heard in his life. He was very tired, but he was the eldest brother, and even if he was tired, he could not show it. He was the backbone for his brothers, and whether he liked it or not, he had to maintain a calm demeanor. His brothers felt sorry for him, he knew, but to have a wife considerate of him , so thoughtful, boldly stating that she wanted to face things together, to bear them together, to become his strength, his support, this was the first time in his life. "Master’s wife..." He wanted to ask if she had begun to like him a little, but he swallowed the question. He gently caressed her cheek, then slowly drew closer to her. She knew what he was going to do, her eyelashes trembled lightly. He was testing, wanting to know if she could accept him. The answer had always been buried deep in her heart, but at this moment, it seemed to surge forth. She thought, her feelings for Yixuan, were like a fledgling bird’s because Yixuan was the first person she met in this world. Thus, she was very attached to Yixuan, who also held a very special place in her heart. Shujun, on Qingfeng Mountain, she thought then that being so lonely, many among the Liang family’s brothers disliked her, while Shujun treated her with deep affection and righteousness. She was moved by this and decided that instead of being alone for a lifetime, it was better to spend her days with Shujun, whom she truly liked. And Zhi Chen. This man, they had shared happiness and hardship. He was gentle, resolute, generous, and considerate. Gradually, he had become an indispensable part of her life, her pillar of strength. During those endless days and nights when Shujun disappeared, it was entirely by his support that she managed to endure. She was his wife, the master’s wife of their brothers. The affection was always there, only repressed by her past moral conscience, afraid to think further, afraid to desire such happiness. But now, her views had changed. Perhaps she was naturally flawed, but so what? If she liked him, she must grasp it, must bravely hold on to it!
