The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 425 Once the pain is over, you let go.

In the stillness of the night, the moonlight shone like water onto the windowsill of the inn.

Qiu Ziyue lay in the soft brocade quilt and gradually drifted off to sleep.

In her dream, she seemed to return to that familiar yet distant place—the world where Minglan and Jingyun lived.

Before me lay a warm courtyard, and two children stood at the doorway, calling out in their childish voices:

"Mom, I miss you! When are you and Dad coming back?"

Qiu Ziyue was stunned, and tears instantly blurred her vision.

She reached out to hug them, but the children slipped through her fingers like the wind, impossible to catch.

"Wait for me!"

She called out anxiously, only to find her voice growing fainter and fainter until it finally faded into silence.

Suddenly, Qiu Ziyue was awakened, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

She stared into the darkness, feeling utterly empty inside.

She has been in this era for two years, and she has not seen Minglan and Jingyun since she left.

This longing grows stronger when the night is deep and quiet.

She thought to herself with self-reproach:

I am such an incompetent mother.

"Twilight Sparkle, what's wrong?"

Zhao Wanqing, who was standing nearby, noticed her unusual behavior and asked softly.

Qiu Ziyue turned her head, forcing a smile.

"It's nothing, I just... miss home and my kids."

Zhao Wanqing sighed and placed her hand on Qiu Ziyue's shoulder.

"Ziyue, I know you've always been thinking about those two children."

These days, I've noticed you're always forcing a smile, but inside you're probably exhausted, aren't you?

Qiu Ziyue lowered her head and did not answer.

Indeed, as the nominal princess, to prevent any rift from developing between Li Cunxu and Qi Yuxuan,

On the way back to Jinyang, she again chose to have Zhao Wanqing stay with her.

However, behind all of this, she could never forget the children far away.

Twilight Sparkle,

Zhao Wanqing said gently, "We really should go back."

"Perhaps we can find a suitable opportunity to explain the situation to Li Cunxu and strive for an early reunion."

Qiu Ziyue raised her head, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.

“You’re right, Wanqing. I can’t go on like this anymore. Minglan and Jingyun are the apple of my eye. No matter the cost, I have to see them.”

Outside the window, the bright moonlight still shone down, but in Qiu Ziyue's heart, a firm belief ignited.

Zhao Wanqing asked Xiao Wan to bring Qiu Ziyue a cup of hot tea.

Qiu Ziyue put down her cup and sighed softly:

"Wanqing, there's still one thing I don't understand—"

Why were you so desperately in love with Li Cunxu before, but now you've let go of him completely?

When Zhao Wanqing heard this, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She didn't rush to answer, but instead took a small sip of tea.

Those eyes, once dimmed by pain, now appeared exceptionally bright and serene.

"A woman loves someone so much that her heart aches."

Zhao Wanqing spoke slowly,

"When the pain subsides, you let it go."

She paused, then looked up at Qiu Ziyue.

After letting go, it felt really liberating.

Qiu Ziyue was stunned for a moment, as if these simple yet profound words had touched some hidden emotions deep within her heart.

She frowned and asked tentatively:

"But... you're giving up so easily? After all, that relationship was so important to you."

Zhao Wanqing shook her head, her gaze softening:

"It's not about giving up, it's about accepting. I've accepted the facts I can't change, and I finally understand that some things are just not meant for me."

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hold on. Instead of dwelling on the past, I should cherish what I have now.

As she said this, a shy smile appeared on her face.

"Actually, I've already made up my mind—when I get back, I'm going to find my little shop assistant."

"A shop assistant?"

Qiu Ziyue repeated it in confusion.

Zhao Wanqing nodded, her voice filled with anticipation and excitement:

"Yes! You know, he's always had a crush on me. Although he's never said it, I can feel it."

How did you find out?

“Every time I look at him, he always lowers his head in a panic;

Also, he secretly drew my portrait in the shop. Once, he accidentally dropped it on the floor and I caught him. His face turned as red as an apple.

Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but laugh:

"So, you're so sure he genuinely likes you?"

Zhao Wanqing nodded seriously:

"Of course! If a man really likes you, his eyes won't lie."

That kind of furtive, careful, yet undisguised joy in the eyes—only true love can reveal that.

Qiu Ziyue remained silent for a while, then looked at Zhao Wanqing thoughtfully.

She suddenly realized that the companion in front of her was no longer the ruthless girl who was tormented by love.

The current Zhao Wanqing is more mature and composed, and has even more hope for the future.

"Aren't you afraid that he'll marry someone else after we go back?" Qiu Ziyue asked.

"Don't be afraid. If she loves me, she will wait for me. If she can't even wait two years, then it's not true love."

Zhao Wanqing said leisurely.

"Since that's the case,"

Qiu Ziyue said:

"Congratulations, Wanqing! So many people love you, and you've finally come to your senses. Let's go back as soon as possible!"

Don't keep your little clerk waiting too long!

Zhao Wanqing smiled, her eyes shining with determination: "Yes, I'll go back! Perhaps, my happiness is waiting for me there."

The two exchanged a smile and sipped their tea gently.

Qiu Ziyue groped her way to the window, where moonlight shone like water onto her face.

She took a small sip of tea, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Actually, I think there's someone else who's more suitable for you."

Zhao Wanqing looked up and asked in confusion:

Who is it?

“My senior brother, Qiu Langyu.”

Qiu Ziyue put down her teacup, a hint of regret in her eyes.

"He's so outstanding and handsome. If it weren't for the fact that I was trying to fulfill Tao Ling'er's damn last wish, I probably would have chosen Senior Brother directly."

Zhao Wanqing nodded in understanding, but then shook her head:

"Senior Brother Qiu is really good, but I'm like you, I don't like being restricted."

Looking at him always feels like looking at a heroic relief sculpture—after a while, your neck gets tired.

Qiu Ziyue was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"What kind of analogy is that? It's ridiculous!"

Zhao Wanqing chuckled a few times, then said mysteriously:

"Besides, in modern times, your senior brother seems to have a girlfriend, what's her name, she seems to be a good match for your senior brother."

"really?"

Qiu Ziyue said, "I must ask my senior brother about this another day!"

The two women smiled at each other and chatted about some trivial matters.

After drinking a few sips of tea, they each returned to their beds to rest.

However, Qiu Ziyue was unable to fall asleep for a long time.

She thought it over and over, wondering if what she did was right and worthwhile.

In the past two years, for the sake of "loyalty and righteousness", she left her toddler at home and traveled back to ancient times with Qi Yuxuan and his friends.

She thought she could simply complete the mission and return safely to the modern world, but reality proved far more complex than she had imagined.

Feuds in the martial arts world, conflicts between sects, emotional entanglements... each one left her exhausted.

Worse still, due to certain unavoidable reasons,

She became known as a scumbag woman who had two husbands in the eyes of others, and now she is blind.

"What exactly did I come here for?"

Is it really for the sake of so-called "loyalty"?

Or was it because I was too naive, thinking I could change so many things?

Thinking of this, Qiu Ziyue clenched her fists.

She told herself:

No, no matter the cost, she will take her friends back to embrace her children again and continue their ordinary but happy life.

To be continued in the next chapter!
