Chapter 703: Chapter 302: Pillow Talk between Husband and Wife
Wan Yilan was in love with Wan Cangxin, which was impermissible in Wusheng Hall.
Until then, Wan Yilan had been unaware of this point.
Even though she was the esteemed young miss of Wusheng Hall, she never felt that her status was particularly noble.
The person she loved was simply the one she loved, even if he was but an ordinary and nameless disciple within Wusheng Hall.
As long as it was someone she cherished, that was enough.
The bliss of first love far surpassed the gap in their social standings.
Yet, it wasn’t until Wan Yutang became aware of their affair that she realized just how naive she had been.
She was Wusheng Hall’s little princess, and Wan Cangxin was obscure and nameless; how could he be worthy of her?
She had never considered that a reason before, and even if her father and mother disapproved, she was obstinate in her views.
However, it was Wan Yutang who told her that if she persisted against their wishes, she would be the death of Wan Cangxin.
Because… she was the little princess of Wusheng Hall.
Many people would not wish for her to marry a commoner.
The man who would marry her in the future must surely have significant gains to look forward to.
In marrying her, what was sought wasn’t her as a person but, rather, what she represented.
How could these things be given away lightly?
Therefore, should her affair with Wan Cangxin become public, his death would be certain.
Many would go to great lengths, overtly and covertly, to kill him.
Wan Yilan believed these words and asked her father what she should do to be with the one she loved?
At that time, Wan Yutang told her.
Endure!
To endure the torment of longing for a moment, if she wished to be together in the long run, she shouldn’t meet with Wan Cangxin for a short while.
During this time, as the Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall, he would support Wan Cangxin from various angles.
If Wan Cangxin proved to be talented, he would undoubtedly rise rapidly.
In merely two or three years, he would be worthy of his precious daughter.
But if he was found lacking…
Then the entire matter needn’t even be contemplated.
Had Wan Yutang not uttered these last remarks at the time, Wan Yilan might have remained skeptical.
However, it was these very words that convinced her of her father’s genuine intent to uplift Wan Cangxin.
So she agreed.
She believed that even if Wan Cangxin lacked success at the moment, he would eventually rise.
It conveniently happened that Wan Cangxin, for some unknown reason, was avoiding her during that period.
She too could take this opportunity to refrain from meeting him.
Who would have thought that this separation would nearly result in an eternal parting?
On the night Wusheng Hall was engulfed in flames, she once asked her maid Zhu Xiu.
Only to be told it was a mere escape by water.
Since that day, she only heard news of Wan Cangxin when she inquired.
All that news, however, was untrue.
She was told that the Great Hall Master favored Wan Cangxin, who had bestowed upon him a martial arts technique, which Wan Cangxin was diligently practicing.
After some time, when she asked again, she was told that the Great Hall Master had assigned tasks to Wan Cangxin, and he had left on business.
As time passed with each inquiry, something was gained.
Sometimes it was how Wan Cangxin was making a name for himself; other times, it was what treasure the Great Hall Master had rewarded him with.
Gradually, she grew more and more convinced of her future.
Believing that by keeping her distance from Wan Cangxin, he would be safe and continue to improve.
Enduring the pain of longing, and in the years to come, Wan Cangxin would reappear before her in a different light.
No longer would he be that obscure and ordinary disciple.
She, though, never cared about that.
But… this way, he could be safe, and she could be happy.
That was enough.
But who could have imagined that the next time she heard of Wan Cangxin, it was not at all as anticipated.
Half a month prior, she suddenly recalled a type of wine she once shared with Wan Cangxin. Sneaking away from her maidservant, and in disguise, she managed to avoid everyone and went secretly to buy wine.
Then she overheard two Jianghu people at the tavern discussing the Tianqu Sword debate.
She discovered that the Wan Cangxin they mentioned was entirely different from the one in her heart.
Elder Tianquan’s disciple, favored by the Night Lord, visited Wusheng Hall, loved her, yet was subjected to the Death Order by Wan Yutang, and was pursued from Wusheng Hall all the way to Dongcheng.
In the end, during the Tianqu Sword debate, he revealed his identity, feeling he had no face to meet the world and wished to die to atone for his sins.
And at the last, he was struck dead by Su Mo, the Chief of Ziyang Escort Agency!
All that she had heard until then shattered in an instant.
The story had, from the very start, already ended.
What rags to riches?
What matching status?
What future where Wan Cangxin would be carried in a palanquin to wed her?
They… would never have a future!
That day, she returned to Wusheng Hall in a daze.
She barged into her mother’s chamber to demand an explanation and then went to look for her father, but… he was in seclusion.
Wan Yilan completely collapsed.
She wanted to die because she couldn’t bear the thought of Wan Cangxin walking alone in the cold Underworld, uncared for, unaccompanied.
She didn’t know if Wan Cangxin would wait for her, but she had to go find him.
How could either live alone when torn apart?
But even in death, she was forbidden.
Regardless of her methods, she failed.
Then she became silent.
After discussing it, Wan Yutang and Lady Wan decided she should marry.
She voiced no protest.
She knew why they did this…
Do women gradually forget the one in their hearts once they marry?
