Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf

Songyu realized that she no longer felt sad about the move.

Upon thinking about it, since peace could be maintained without fighting and the Princess could still marry the man she loved, there was nothing to be sad about. With that, Songyu also brightened up and happily imagined their new life in the future with the Princess.

Lin Jingyuan sent her all the way to the border.

After crossing that border, they would step foot into the territory of the Song Empire.

Throughout the past two years, Lin Jingyuan has calmed down a lot and was not as unreliable as before. Seeing Lin Feilu happily coming down to say goodbye to him, he didn’t care about his expressions anymore and stated, “If he bullies you, I will help you teach him a lesson!”

Lin Feilu nodded with a smile.

She didn’t want to make him cry, so she waved her hand and urged him to leave, “Brother Jingyuan, go back soon. Also, be gentle with my sister-in-law from now on!”

Lin Jingyuan said, “Am I not gentle enough for her? I almost forgot what it is like to be fierce.”

The two laughed for a while before giving each other a final bow and saying their goodbyes.

The Great Lin Empire escorting team made their way back, but the convoy from the Song Empire was not in a hurry. They chose to camp for a while in the woods of the Song-Lin border for some rest.

Lin Feilu’s waist was sore, and her back was aching after sitting in the carriage for such a long time, so she went for a walk. She sauntered back to the carriage when the convoy started packing up again.

As soon as the carriage curtain was lifted, a figure flickered inside as someone grabbed her wrist and dragged her in. Before she could make a sound, she saw who it was, and the cry about to exit her mouth was swallowed again.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Lin Feilu sighed, “Xi Xingjiang, what are you trying to do?”

The man inside was dressed in black and had a mop of black hair. He was grime-stained and sported a haggard face. He seemed to have traveled day and night to finally catch up with her, evident from his bloodshot eyes.

He watched her without speaking as he merely pursed his lips stubbornly and held her wrist.

After a while, Lin Feilu heard him ask in a hoarse voice, “Did you do this voluntarily?”

She nodded, “Mm, I did it out of my own will. I like him, and I want to marry him.”

His eyes reddened, and the same hoarse tone was squeezed out between his teeth, “I don’t believe it.”

Lin Feilu asked, “So what if you don’t believe me?”

Yes, what could he do?

On the one hand, this concerned the patriotic righteousness they both had towards the country, but on the other hand, this girl was someone he truly loved and cherished. The only thing he could do was to catch up with her privately to see her one last time.

The equipment and the camp were being kept whilst Songyu’s voice that talked and laughed with the other maidservants could be heard.

Lin Feilu looked down at the hands that held hers. She looked up at him again and sighed helplessly.

She said, “Xi Xingjiang, it’s time you let go.”

Xi Xingjiang looked at her, motionless.

After a long time, he slowly let go of his hand.

He knew that letting go of her now was letting go of her forever.
