Xiuxian Work Log

She didn’t know whether Lin Qingyue felt sorry for her or not, but after going around in circles, Lin Qingyue finally returned to Cui Mansion.

Now thirteen-year-old Cui Jiaojiao has a beautiful figure and a bright and beautiful face, as bright and lively as a blooming flower.

A young girl stood in the pavilion, and Lin Qingyue sat on a stone bench listening to Cui Jiaojiao talk about her past.

"Over the years, my father, mother, and brothers have all doted on me. Although I haven't studied or practiced martial arts like them, in the entire Great Yan Kingdom, even a princess can't receive as much love as I do."

"I will marry the prince and become the most noble woman in the world. But you, Lin Qing, will live a life of mediocrity and be abandoned by everyone."

Lin Qingyue looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"If Miss Cui really didn't care, she wouldn't be pampering him left and right. The kitten Lin Qing had raised before was also treated well by the Cui family, just like how Miss Cui was treated. She didn't dare to lose her temper."

"But even so, we can still tell who is the master."

Cui Jiaojiao clenched her fists, but let them go after a few seconds, regaining the dignity of a young girl.

"If you think all women in the world are kittens and puppies, then who are you?"

"Why do you look down on me? If you really care, why would you rather help a monk than look at me?"

"In the final analysis, you and I are the same. You are dependent on them. Even if you have the ability, you are still a man's kitten or puppy at heart."

"Aren't you just as hypocritical as me? Why do you look down on me?"

Lin Qingyue didn't know when she had been following her, or whether the Cui family had already planted spies throughout the Great Yan Kingdom, but what did she have to do with her?

Not to mention that this is originally an illusion.

Even with Hua Xiangrong, her friendship was as light as water. Even if he was in trouble, she tried her best to save him, which was fulfilling her responsibility as a friend.

If she hadn't discovered that the mission of Mei Fei Mei Yi was related to the father and son of the Hua family, she wouldn't have taken the risk despite knowing the difficulties.

Lin Qingyue was about to fight back, but when he saw the tears in Cui Jiaojiao's eyes, he fell silent.

If the meaning of existence is to be defined by others, then how can these illusions and their unique thoughts not be considered the basic basis of their humanity?

They are just illusions from the past, not puppets.

Perhaps in Cui Jiaojiao's mind, this is a real world, and she, Lin Qingyue, is the intruder in this world.

but……

"You're wrong, Miss Cui."

Lin Qingyue stood up and looked at Cui Jiaojiao's pitiful appearance with a gentle and forceful tone.

"First, your predicament was not caused by me, so I have no obligation to help you."

"Secondly, mountains fall when you rely on them, and water flows when you rely on it. Even family members can hurt each other, let alone outsiders."

"Third, a verbal victory is only a spiritual victory; it doesn't change anything."

"Of course, you like to deceive yourself, and I respect and understand that."

The girl in front of him seemed to have expected this, but a sad look still appeared on her face.

"So that's how you miss me?"

"If you think so, I can't help it. I'll leave now and not get in your way."

Having said that, Lin Qingyue actually walked away without any hesitation.

"and many more!"

Cui Jiaojiao called her in a firm voice.

"I need you to help me."

Lin Qingyue didn't turn around.

"I want something."

"what?"

"I don't know, but I'll take it when the time comes."

"it is good."

-----------------

At night, after the spring had subsided, Cui Jiaojiao took Lin Qingyue to a corner and introduced Chunyi to Lin Qingyue.

"She's from the same courtyard as you. She was pretty quiet in the past few years. But in recent years—humph! She's been hustling around and trying to please everyone. She's almost eager to follow my second brother into his courtyard."

"Do you really think my second brother is some gentle gentleman?"

Cui Jiaojiao still remembered that her second brother Cui Tinghe was not nice to anyone except her.

When she was saving someone before, she was almost chopped to death because of her mistake. Her mother ran there with her in her arms and begged for mercy, and finally Cui Tinghe was saved.

But later on, because of all the bad things they did, the whole family was massacred by their enemies.

Although she couldn't remember exactly what her second brother had done, it must have been something very serious.

"How serious? Murder?"

Lin Qingyue next to her spoke softly, and Cui Jiaojiao frowned, not knowing how to respond.

"I don't remember, but it must have been serious."

Cui Jiaojiao took Lin Qingyue around and looked for several places, but they were not satisfied with any of them. They either said it was too damp here, too dry there, or there was too much clutter.

"I didn't bring you to see my mother today, but she might call you over tomorrow. My mother is gentle and kind, and she won't make things difficult for you."

Lin Qingyue listened silently and translated in his mind.

My mother is serious and difficult to get along with, and she is very good at making things difficult for people.

In the end, they still couldn't find the place, so Cui Jiaojiao pulled Lin Qingyue to the desk, where the book "Female Commandments" was placed in the middle.

Cui Jiaojiao looked at the book "Female Commandments" with nostalgia and handed it to Lin Qingyue. Lin Qingyue casually opened it and was attracted by the contents.

"Three years ago, the teacher returned home because her father was ill. Before she left, she gave me the handwritten copy of the Women's Commandments and told me to study it carefully."

The book does not contain any teachings for women at all, but rather examples of women from all over the country being betrayed, deceived, and persecuted!

The sheer number of them was truly astonishing. As the words appeared before her, the figure of the female teacher slowly emerged.

Lin Qingyue couldn't remember her name, only that her family name was Yun. While her brothers had no talent for studying, she could easily master it. She was so intelligent that her father, a great scholar, devoted himself to her cultivation.

"But a few months ago, I overheard the maids in my mother's courtyard chatting and learned that she had become a mother, taking care of the household chores and never picking up a pen again. It turns out her father lied about her being seriously ill just to get her home and get married!"

As she spoke, Cui Jiaojiao seemed to be thinking of herself, and her expression was filled with grief and sorrow.

Lin Qingyue hugged her silently. Perhaps because she was afraid of being discovered, Cui Jiaojiao tried her best to suppress her tears.

"You keep saying it's for my own good, but you keep saying it's all for your own good..."

Finally, Cui Jiaojiao wiped away her tears and lay down as if nothing had happened. Lin Qingyue left Cui Jiaojiao's yard, with a maid beside her holding a lantern to light the way for her.

It was pitch black, and green grass sprouted from the cracks in the rocks, only to be trampled down again.

The two walked in silence. Perhaps they really couldn't stand the atmosphere. When the maid opened her mouth, Lin Qingyue was frightened!

"Sister Qingyue, how are you doing recently?"

A familiar voice came, and Lin Qingyue looked over and saw Chun Yi.

"why you?"

It was so dark just now and she was thinking about something, so she didn't notice Chunyi holding the lantern for her.

"Look at what I'm saying. One by one, whether it's you or Zhou Xue, you've all gotten lucky. How could you even remember a small figure like me?"

"Zhou Xue has become the Fourth Young Master's concubine, and she will enjoy endless wealth and honor in the future. And you, Sister Qingyue, are now a favorite of Miss Cui."

"I'm the only one who's stuck in the middle..."
