Chapter 103: Implication

Zhen Yi went to the river to fetch water for cooking dinner and for boiling water to bathe, and happened to witness this scene.

It must have been her parents who, seeing the Ruo Family receive the Emperor's reward, shamelessly tried to get involved themselves, only to be thrown out, right?

This time, how much dowry would they demand?

With parents like bloodsuckers desperately clinging to others, she felt guilty marrying into any decent family.

Setting the bucket down, Zhen Yi filled it with water, watching her reflection ripple in the river.

At that moment, she suddenly felt life was meaningless, and part of her wanted to jump into the river and end it all!

Zhen Yi looked at the shimmering river surface, the migratory birds under the blue sky, the splendid sunset...

All of which seemed more beautiful than her own life!

Ruo Shui hurried home, catching a glimpse from the corner of his eye of Zhen Yi standing by the river, a despondent figure, and he frowned slightly.
