Chapter Twenty-One: Qin Luoyan's Memories

ing her over""No need." Fu Zi Mo's voice was still as flat and emotionless as ever. The prey was already in the cage, he wasn't in a hurry, he had to let it be terrified before closing the net."Yes!"...After a while, her eyes lit up, “I’ve got it! Since I’m recognizing you as my younger brother, then you should take my surname. My name is Qin Luoyan, so you’ll be Qin Yisheng. ‘Yi,’ means to hope, and ‘sheng,’ means rebirth. Both represent that you’re starting a new life from now on!”

Qin Yisheng, Qin Yisheng, change your name, change your life, you're just a child, you should have been free from that inhumane torture long ago.

Every time he was bullied and tormented, deep down, he must have hoped that someone would stand up and help him. Qin Luoyan even thought that the coldness in this child's eyes was not formed overnight, it was probably every time he was humiliated, he had also looked at the people around him with hopeful eyes, hoping that someone would reach out to help him. Perhaps, he had also shouted for help loudly to the people around him...

But, no, never once did anyone reach out to him, not even acknowledge his desperate cries for help.

Therefore, the hope in his eyes gradually faded, until finally, only boundless indifference remained.

From being filled with hope to ultimately despairing in humanity, what a cruel process this is for just a child.

Qin Luo Yan wasn't a kind Mary Sue, and she even felt that those Mary Sues who were generous but gave up halfway were worse than the villains because they repeatedly gave people hope only to cruelly crush and extinguish it time and again.

"I hope you like this name because, from now on, you're my brother." Qin Luoyan gently placed her hand on his cheek. The child looked quite good after washing, "I know you're wary, maybe you think I'm helping you out of kindness or some other ulterior motive, but actually, I'm not helping you, I'm only helping myself."

Her voice was choked with emotion, her eyes distant. She seemed tired too, so she took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, sitting beside the boy like a big sister telling a story. She spoke softly: "Let me tell you a secret. Actually, just like you, I was born after my mother was raped. But I was luckier than you. My mother treated me well, and so did my grandparents."

This secret, whether from a past life or this one, she has never spoken of it.

In the eyes of others, she was an internationally renowned weapons manufacturing expert, a bright and cheerful girl. But only she knew how much contempt and criticism she had faced in kindergarten and elementary school, there were even times when she thought about suicide.

Thankfully, later her mother discovered the bullying she had endured. Her mother quit her job and moved with her grandparents to a new city to start a fresh life, saving her from further harm.

The boy raised his head in astonishment, looking at her face, as if he couldn't believe she had gone through the same thing as him.

“So, when I see you, I want to help you. Actually, I’m not really helping you, I’m just helping my past self. When I was a kid, I was bullied by the whole class, and I also hoped that someone would stand up for me. I didn't need them to actually fight everyone for me, as long as they were willing to stand up and lend me a hand…”

Even Qin Luo didn't realize it, tears were already streaming down her cheeks as she spoke, her voice choked with emotion. "But no one came to help me... I hid in the corner of the classroom countless times, begging my classmates for help... It was like fulfilling a dream of mine, so I helped you, helped you out of your predicament, and allowed myself to step out of the shadows..."

She was never one to meddle in other people's affairs. What kind heart She wasn't a kind person at all. Everything she did, boiled down to it, was for her own benefit.

"Qin Yisheng, so you don't need to thank me, just live well, okay" Qin Luoyan wiped away her tears, got out of bed, turned around and walked to her own bed, pulled up the covers and went to sleep, then covered her head with the quilt.

The house was very quiet, with only a faint flickering candle flame.

The boy lying in bed tilted his head to look at the other bed. After a long while, he retracted his gaze and then murmured softly in his mouth, "Qin Yixing... Qin Yixing..."

From then on, he was Qin Yisheng.

At the other end of the courtyard, in the superior guest room of the relay station, night had fallen, yet none within could sleep soundly. Who else besides Xiao Changyue, whose heart was still stirred by the scene in the carriage, would be unable to find rest

"Sister, she's just a woman of no standing. Don't dwell on it anymore. Look at the noble sons in the city, which one isn't initiated by the age of twelve Even having ten or so concubines before marriage isn't considered a secret. Given Duke Wuxuan's age, he has no official wife and not even a woman with a name beside him. This is already remarkable. Those women of no standing, if you play with them, it won't affect your future status at all."

Xiao Yunqin yawned and couldn't help but persuade, "It's already midnight. Why don't you let people sleep If it weren't for Xiao Changyue being the eldest daughter, she wouldn't be waiting on her."

"What do you understand When you truly love someone, you wouldn't speak so lightly." Xiao Changyue stood by the window, which was open. She looked up towards the second floor, where Fu Zi Mo, the Marquis of Wuxuan, resided. "It's precisely because she is a woman who can't be openly acknowledged that I can do something about it. If it were someone with status and position, I wouldn't dare to do anything."

"Huh What do you mean Sis, you're speaking in a way I can't understand." Xiao Yunqin sleepily yawned uncontrollably.

Xiao Changyue sighed and closed the window, “Alright, sleep. Sleep well. But tomorrow, you have someone find out if King Wuxuan had anyone send over a bowl of Juezi soup after…”

"Need we inquire further King Wuxuan is no fool. How could he allow a woman without standing to bear a child first This kind of thing would be a great disgrace to the royal family. The royal bloodline is noble, not something anyone can conceive. That woman, is she even qualified" Xiao Yunqin thought Xiao Changyue was being overly cautious.

"Go if you want to!" Xiao Changyue's face darkened. Even she didn't understand why she was so restless. In the past, she had seen King Wu Xuan's dissolute nature many times, but until now, he had never done anything like this marriage proposal.

Before she got what she wanted, she absolutely wouldn't allow for any accidents. As for that woman...just a helpless, powerless commoner...

“Alright, alright! Whatever you say!” Xiao Yunqin impatiently replied, but her heart was filled with fury to the extreme. Just because she was the eldest daughter She, after all, was a treasured daughter of the Prime Minister’s mansion, yet he treated her like a maid!

Night fell silently, without even a sliver of moonlight. The entire world, it seemed, had been plunged into darkness at some unknown point in time.
