After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Qi Linglang let go of Shi Wanyue and looked at Bian Ruitong and He Yuanyao. She and Bian Ruitong really grew up together since they were babies, and it was Bian Ruitong who protected her before she met other people.

Now that they are about to separate, it is inevitable to give each other some instructions, especially now that Bian Ruitong has joined the army.

Shen Luoling and Luo Jinshu did not urge them and waited for them to say goodbye.

Only after seeing the two men get on the carriage and it slowly drove away did the others turn around and go back.

Duan Jiling hadn't stepped forward just now. She had never experienced such a lively time before, and she didn't know that separation was such a sad thing.

Watching Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu leave, Duan Jiling couldn't help but think that everyone else was about to leave as well.

The excitement and joy of the past few days seemed like a mirage. After all, she could never hold on to something that did not belong to her for long.

If I had never experienced this, I wouldn't be so upset. But after experiencing it, when I return from such a bustling life to the loneliness of the past, I always feel empty in my heart.

It’s like those who take Xianggu. Once they stop taking the medicine, they will feel an indescribable emptiness and discomfort. They can either continue taking the medicine or spend a long time to adapt.

When Bian Ruitong turned around, she saw Duan Jiling's lost look. Duan Jiling raised her eyes and met Bian Ruitong's. She adjusted her state in an instant and smiled at her, as if the loss just now was just an illusion of Bian Ruitong.

That afternoon after Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu left, Bian Ruitong was also leaving. She was no longer a free person, and the military camp had its own rules. These few days were her extra vacation.

Duan Jiling watched her ride away on her horse, and the feeling of desolation in his heart became stronger.

Although she always thinks that Bian Ruitong is sometimes stupid and silly like everyone else, this silly look is actually quite cute. She is the second person besides Wen Zhimiao who can make her happy.

Shi Wanyue looked at Duan Jiling calmly, then looked at Wen Zhimiao and sighed imperceptibly.

Duan Jiling's life was indeed very pitiful.

Wen Zhimiao also knew it, but she had no choice, and Duan Jiling had no choice either. At least for now, she still couldn't leave the Duan family. The Elders' Council had fallen, Feng Qing had to continue his journey west to reorganize the trade routes, and the Duan family wanted to continue to develop, so there had to be someone in charge. What's more, Duan Jiling's health would not allow her to go to Yunjing.

People who yearn for freedom are trapped in their families all their lives. In the past, they were held hostage by the Elders Council, but now they do it voluntarily.

There are always many things in life that are beyond one's control, but Duan Jiling's helplessness is particularly obvious.

That night, Duan Jiling came to Wen Zhimiao and others with a jar of wine.

He Yuanyao hadn't slept yet and was sparring with Wen Zhimiao in the yard, while Shi Wanyue was sitting beside them watching.

When Duan Jiling arrived, the three of them looked at her.

"Why is Lingling here?" Shi Wanyue asked with a smile.

Duan Jiling smiled at her and said, "Sister Wanyue, do you want to drink? I found the jar of wine that my aunt buried when she left. I don't know if it's still drinkable."

Shi Wanyue smiled and said, "Then let's try it together?"

Duan Jiling put down the jar of wine, and it was obvious that the jar must have been replaced.

Shi Wanyue removed the seal on the wine jar, and the aroma of wine instantly overflowed. The two people who were originally sparring also came over.

He Yuanyao sniffed and said, "It smells good."

Wen Zhimiao also came over: "Let me have a taste."

Duan Jiling couldn't help but laugh: "It poured itself out."

She placed the teacups on the table, and He Yuanyao immediately picked up the wine jar and poured four glasses of wine.

Wen Zhimiao quickly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Shi Wanyue also took a sip, and the aroma of the wine spread in her mouth.

The taste is really good.

He Yuanyao narrowed her eyes in intoxication: "Not bad."

Soon, servants from the mansion brought wine and food over. Duan Jiling smiled and said, "What's the point of just drinking?"

The moonlight tonight is also very beautiful. It is a special mood for the four of us to sit under the moon, drinking and appreciating the moon.

Duan Jiling drank too much without realizing it, and then he lay on the table and asked with some disappointment: "Sister Wanyue, Miaomiao, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Wen Zhimiao was silent for a moment and finally nodded: "Yeah."

He Yuanyao wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she shut up. After spending the past few days together, she actually felt that Duan Jiling was a pretty good person, but when she thought about what others had said, He Yuanyao felt a headache.

"After you leave, there's no one to play with me or drink with me." Duan Jiling said somewhat aggrievedly.

It is really unknown when we will meet again after this separation, and neither Wen Zhimiao nor Shi Wanyue dare to make any promises.

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.

"But it doesn't matter. It's a good thing to know you. At least I have known you. At least I am not trapped under the control of the Elders Council until death." Duan Jiling laughed to himself.

"Maybe I can get better? Maybe my aunt can come back. When I get better, I...I will let Tongtong take me to...to Yunjing. Then, you will definitely, definitely..."

It seemed that he felt that what he wanted to say next was too difficult to achieve, so even though he was drunk, he still didn't say it.

She lay on the table, silent for a long time, and then suddenly raised her head and smiled at the others: "Don't forget me."

Wen Zhimiao choked up a little. Shi Wanyue was usually good at comforting people, but at this moment she didn't dare to look directly into Duan Jiling's eyes.

Instead, He Yuanyao picked up the wine glass again and said, "Of course not. When you come to Yunjing, I will treat you to the best wine in Yunjing City, the best dancers' performances, and the best musicians' performances. I will never break my promise."

"Well, Tongtong said so too. She said she would work hard in the military camp and that when I go there, she would buy a big house in Yunjing and invite me to live there. She is such an idiot and only knows how to brag."

Wen Zhimiao tried to adjust her mood: "You don't need her to buy it for you. If you come, I will definitely give you a big house."

"When we return to Yunjing, I will ask the people from the Imperial Hospital to treat Teacher Duan well, and then trick her into coming back to take over your job. Then, I will capture Dean Lu and the people from the Imperial Hospital every day to study your illness carefully, so that you can come to Yunjing earlier." Wen Zhimiao smiled at her.

Duan Jiling couldn't help but laugh when she heard her words.

"Okay, then you must fool your aunt well."

"must."

In fact, Wen Zhimiao thought that if Duan Yunting knew Duan Jiling's situation, she wouldn't need to fool him at all, Duan Yunting would come back on his own.

After all, from the letters between Duan Yunting and Duan Jiling, it can be seen that Duan Yunting cares very much about his niece Duan Jiling.

Shi Wanyue didn't say a word because she was afraid that she would choke up if she spoke.

From childhood to adulthood, Wan Yue has read a lot of novels with Wen Zhimiao. This is the first time she has experienced in reality what it means to not let anyone down but to be let down completely.
