Chapter 658  I foolishly loved her

Chen Xiao in his written statement submitted the document of divorce to the governor's office. Chen Xiao looked at Miaoran in anger and said to her, "You better stay away from my eyes."

Miaoran didn't speak a word and watched him leave. Feng Lao came to her and congratulated her as she was free from an abusive marriage.

"Thank you, Lord Shui. It would not have happened if you have not helped me," Miaoran said with a smile.

"Should we go home?" Feng Lao asked her.

Miaoran nodded and followed Feng Lao. He opened the carriage's door for her when they heard a voice.

"Why did you do it?"

Both of them turned to look at the old man, who was her father, Fu Pei. Feng Lao was perplexed and gazed at Miaoran.

"Father." Her eyes turned teary when her father approached her.

"Don't you know a wife's duty? You should have been until the very end!" Fu Pei questioned her and held her arms.

"Father, I could not bear that anymore. Chen Xiao never saw me as his wife," Miaoran said.

"I told you to give birth to a child. Your mother told the same to you, yet you didn't listen to us. Everything would have been better if you have given a child to him. How will you look at the people around us?" Fu Pei's remarks hurt Miaoran. But that was how her parents were. They cared about the people more than her.

Feng Lao could not stop himself and decided to intervene. "You are crossing your limits. Chen Xiao assaulted Miaoran. He has a mistress. How can you let your daughter stay in that house?"

"Go away. Because of you, my daughter's house was destroyed!" Fu Pei shouted at Feng Lao. The people looked in their direction.

"Lord Shui gave me another chance to live, Father. Don't worry. Mother and you will not see me ever," Miaoran said and turned to get into the carriage.

"Come with me and beg forgiveness from Chen Xiao. If you don't, then you are dead for us," Fu Pei said.

Feng Lao was stunned to hear him. How could he do that to his own daughter? He thought for a second.

Tears rolled down Miaoran's eyes. "I was never. You have always considered me dead. When I was beaten up, and came to you both to tell about it, you asked me to keep my mouth shut. When I informed you two how he keeps his mistress in the same house, you two turned a blind eye to it. I am glad you both are ready to consider me dead," Miaoran said while crying.

Feng Lao furrowed his brows together and glanced at Fu Pei in disgust.

"Leave before I get you arrested," Feng Lao said.

"Insolent daughter! It was better if you had died earlier. At least, we didn't have to see this day," Fu Pei said and walked away.

Miaoran covered her face with her hands, not wanting people to look at her. Feng Lao came to her and caressed her back. She rested her head on his shoulder and continued to cry.

"We should head home, Miaoran," Feng Lao said and helped her get into the carriage. Miaoran kept silently crying in the carriage too while Feng Lao felt bad for her. He didn't say a word because she needed to cry to unleash her emotions.

When they reached the home, Feng Lao dropped her into a room. Miaoran silently sat by the window of the room and told Feng Lao she would like to be alone. Feng Lao hummed and went out. He closed the doors behind him when heard Jingfei's voice.

"Is she alright? I saw her face was covered in tears," Jingfei worriedly said.

"She needs time," Feng Lao said and left with Jingfei.

Huang Xi looked at the two porcelain bowls in a shop and thought to give them to Xiaolian. Yesterday, he ended up breaking the bowls which she had made with so much hard work.

After paying for them, he headed to the palace. He met Xiaolian, who was a bit surprised to see him.

"Why did Commander Huang Xi want to see me?" She was unable to understand and her lips.

saw the wooden box in his hand. "What is that?" she knitted her brows together.

"It is for my mistake yesterday," Huang Xi replied and forwarded the box to her.

Xiaolian astonishingly gazed at him and took the box from him. She put it on the table and opened the box. There were two porcelain bowls inside it. She picked up one and checked it. Blue-colored motifs were imprinted on the bowl and it brought a smile to her lips.

"I purchased them. Princess Xiaolian made those bowls with so much hard work and I accidentally broke them. That's why it is a small present from me. I hope she liked it," Huang Xi said.

"I did. Thank you," Xiaolian said and placed the bowl inside the box. Huang Xi passed a tiny smile to her and thought to leave.

"I heard from Princess Ai Fen," Xiaolian said. She saw the smile fade from Huang Xi's lips.

"I have been into that phase when Feng Lao rejected my feelings. It is tough to let go no matter what the people say," Xiaolian said.

Huang Xi agreed with her words. It was difficult to forget the person, whom you admire. The pain increased when only you had one-sided feelings for the person.

"But I did wrong to Li Hua. That's why Feng Lao hates me. I begged him many times, but in the end, the only solution left was to let it go. It hurts, but it heals at the same time," Xiaolian asserted.

Huang Xi never had any interaction with Xiaolian. This was the first time she talked to him and he liked her thoughts. At least, she was sensible. She knew her mistakes and moved on.

"Talking about my feelings for Princess Ai Fen has no use now. It hurts whenever I think that I foolishly loved her. I do not want to blame her. Perhaps, in her eyes, I was wrong. Princess Xiaolian is right. I have to move on even if it hurts me," Huang Xi stated.

"Commander Huang Xi will," Xiaolian said with a smile.
