Chapter 1539: Chapter 1477: Are You Stupid
Changping shrank to one side, sobbing, while glancing at Wufu, her sobs full of grievance.
Seeing Wufu silently drinking tea without scolding her, Changping instead felt a bit panicked and afraid, her lips trembled as she said, "Wufu, please, keep scolding me, donât just stay silent, okay?"
"No, I canât afford the crime of lecturing the Commandery Princess. Iâm in the prime of my youth, with a long road ahead, Iâm not about to just die like this!" Wufu replied sarcastically.
Changping went over and tugged at her sleeve: "I know youâre worried about me, and thatâs why you act this way for my own good."
Wufu let out a hum, elegantly flicking the tea leaves in her cup with the lid, blew on it, and took a sip.
"I was wrong, Wufu. I know I was wrong. Please donât ignore me, okay? I almost couldnât come back to see you all!" Changping sobbed, "Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry."
The past few days of fear and anxiety had found an outlet, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.
After all, she was a young girl, and hearing the panic in her words, Wufu sighed, put down the teacup, pulled her closer to sit down, and said, "The one you wronged isnât me, itâs your family. The ones most hurt by your actions are those who care for you and love you, and yourself!"
"Wufu," Changping looked up at her, gave a bitter smile, and said, "No one really cares about me. If my mother and father truly loved me as their daughter, they wouldnât ignore my wishes. Knowing Song Weiâs character, they still insist on marrying me off to him."
"What they care about is the long-term prosperity of the princely estate, the status of the estate," Changping wiped her tears with her sleeve and said, "As for me, the most important thing is whether I can bring them benefits. Everything else doesnât matter, doesnât matter."
"So you ran away?" Wufu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Did you never think of the consequences of running away? How have the past few days been for you, did you feel it?"
She looked at her pointed chin, in just a few short days, this girl had become unrecognizable, her chin had sharpened, and her wrists bore scars, clearly she had suffered much outside.
Changping lowered her head, as if she wasnât aware, she had finally experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the sinister nature of people. If she hadnât happened to encounter Master Gui, she might have already been sold to some filthy place!
"The world is treacherous, far more terrifying than you imagined. By running away like this, the ones you hurt arenât just your parents, but more importantly, yourself. If you couldnât come back, think about it, who would be the most hurt? Wouldnât it be yourself?" Wufu said coldly, "All for a Song Wei, you chose to hurt yourself. Tell me, arenât you foolish? Is he worth it?"
Changping sniffed, wiped away a tear, knowing she was foolish, exceedingly foolish.
"Take a step further, even if you couldnât change the engagement and had to marry Song Wei, would it be worse than the days youâve spent running away? Perhaps heâs not so great, but once youâre married to him, at least youâd live in luxury, with people to serve you. If you can come to terms with it, you would still be the dignified Crown Princess. If you want, you can sleep with him and have children, if not, just let him take concubines and continue being the Crown Princess. Could it be worse than running away from home?"
Wufu took a deep breath and said, "But you chose the most unbearable path. Tell me, arenât you foolish?"
After all, men are just like that, especially here, if the Matriarch doesnât want to perform her duties, the easiest solution is to let him take a concubine and simply enjoy the wealth while retaining the Matriarchâs status!
