After venting her emotions, Shen Hua was lost in a daze for a moment. She sniffled, as if it took all her strength to utter each word.
Her voice was faint, as if a breeze could disperse it.
"After brother left, and Sister Xiao fell severely ill once, she originally wished to lead a monastic life henceforth. She no longer wanted… to marry."
Her love for brother was so deep.
Shen Hua dragged her heavy body to stand, letting the bedding fall to the ground, and slowly walked to the candlelight.
Under the flickering light, her face appeared even paler. The girl gave a desolate smile.
"There are lovers in the world, but who says they end up together? There are men with righteous appearance, and those who are heartless and unfaithful too. But my brother was foolish. Clearly, he later achieved his aspirations by becoming a scholar, a young talent rare in this world. Mama even had a Taoist schedule auspicious dates, just lacking a matchmaker to knock on the Xiao Family's door."
