Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 386 How can one find the meaning of life?

“Aunt Anran, I understand what you mean. Your wish is also my wish, but I have some concerns.” Chu Yueli helped her stand up: “Sit down and let’s talk.”

Ning Anran felt heavy-hearted, thinking she had been rejected: "What is Ali worried about? Is it because she's afraid the relationship between the Earl's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion is not good?"

"What does it matter if we don't have good relationships when it comes to matters of state? I have never taken those people from the Earl's Mansion seriously."

Chu Yueli's words were not arrogant or haughty, but she truly looked down on those people and didn't need to pretend to be tolerant.

"Then why did you..."

“Aunt Anran, you have no will to live right now. Sending you to the battlefield would be sending you to your death.”

Chu Yueli sighed silently, and seeing the surprise in Ning Anran's eyes, her heart also ached slightly.

"Your wish is not to protect your country, but to die on the battlefield in the same way as Uncle Zheng Nan."

“You are eager to die, but you can’t just end your life like that, because you know that if you do, Uncle Zheng Nan will never forgive you when you go to the underworld.”

"You must die a meaningful death so that you can be worthy of your husband. In the future, whether in the underworld or in your next life, when you see Uncle Zheng Nan again, you will have the face to hold your head high in front of him and rekindle your marital bond with him."

"The only way to fulfill your wish is to die on the battlefield." Chu Yueli gripped the spear tightly, and when she looked at Ning Anran again, her eyes held a hint of solemnity.

“Aunt Anran, I have long admired you. If my Chu family army can one day return to my hands in its entirety, I will definitely hope that you can join me. But before that, I think you can truly understand what the meaning of your life is!”

She stood up and presented the spear to Ning Anran with both hands.

“Aunt Anran, we’re waiting for you, we’re all waiting for you.”

she left.

Liu Ning was alone in the room, looking at the spear in her hand. Her face, which had been expressionless for many years, finally showed a crack of emotion.

"Jeongnam, I really... can't go on living."

Her long fingers traced the tip of the spear, inch by inch, slowly.

Tears finally welled up in my eyes and rolled down my cheeks.

……

Chu Yue walked out of Ning Anran's room and looked up to see two figures standing in the courtyard.

She hurried over to greet them: "Second Aunt, Third Aunt."

“We want to go see Anran, but we’re afraid she won’t like it,” Miao Yucui sighed.

Ning Anran didn't actually dislike crowds; she was supposed to be a very enthusiastic woman.

“If you two aunts have time, please go and talk to her more often. She is in the Earl’s mansion, and her every move is being watched by the people there. In addition, she can’t find any joy in living. If this continues, I’m afraid she won’t live much longer.”

"Ah Li..." Huo Qing felt a pang of sadness; these words were truly heartbreaking.

“She can’t get over it, and she can’t find a direction in life.” Chu Yueli looked at them and said earnestly, “Auntie, if you can bear the pain in your hearts, then please comfort her.”

“How could your second aunt be so fragile?” Miao Yucui laughed. “Your second uncle is watching me from heaven. If I don’t protect the people of the Duke’s mansion, your second uncle will be angry.”

Huo Qing also smiled and said, "I will also guard the Duke's Mansion. As long as the Duke's Mansion exists, I will definitely stay!"

Chu Yueli pursed her lips, her brows furrowing slightly.

They have their own life goals, so even though they are in pain, they can still live strong lives.

Then, Aunt Anran's?

How can we help Aunt Anran find meaning in life?
