We finished our meal in silence. I ate very little, focusing instead on drinking. Zhi Xia looked at me, her eyes gradually reddening. "Miss, please don't..."
I smiled and patted her hand. "Silly girl, why are you crying?"
"Miss..." Zhi Xia gazed at me, her eyes filled with pity.
I chuckled softly and said, "I've made up my mind. In a few days, I'll send Wanyi away too."
Zhi Xia was taken aback. "Send her away?"
"Yes," I nodded. "To the Second Consort's place. Just say I think she would like her there; it's a gesture of filial piety."
Zhi Xia frowned. "Miss, why not keep someone by your side? Why go through this?"
I laughed lightly. "One person leaving is the same as two; the sooner they go, the less trouble for me."
The next day, Wanyi learned the news. She rushed to find me, her hair unkempt and barefoot.
Although Wanyi was only fifteen this year, she had already blossomed into a graceful beauty with striking features. At that moment, she was furious, glaring at me with her beautiful eyes. "Miss, are you really sending me away?"
Having drunk some wine, I felt bolder and replied straightforwardly, "That's right; I'm sending you to the Second Consort."
Wanyi trembled with anger. "Miss, are you truly going to drive me away?"
I grinned and took her hand. "Oh come on, don’t say it like that. It’s not about driving you away; your future is important, and I can't hold you back."
Wanyi yanked her hand away angrily. "I don't care about any future!"
I sighed and advised her gently, "Don't be foolish. What good is it for you to stay with me? I'm just an uneducated young lady; there's no future for you here."
Her eyes glistened with tears as she stubbornly looked at me. "Miss, you are my master; I can't leave you."
I smiled reassuringly. "It's alright; the Second Consort likes you so much that once you're there, she won't treat you poorly."
Wanyi shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. "Miss, please don't force me; I would rather die than leave you."
I was stunned.
Why?
Why wouldn't the male lead leave me, and why wouldn't the female lead leave me either?
Could it be that I did something wrong?
No, that couldn't be.
I gritted my teeth and said, "No, I have made up my mind. You must go."
Su Wanyi looked at me, tears glistening in her eyes. "Miss, why do you insist on driving me away?"
I sighed and replied, "Because... it's your destiny."
Su Wanyi fell silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Miss, do you really think I'm foolish? You thought I wouldn't see through your little scheme to get rid of Tang Mufeng?"
I widened my eyes in surprise. "You..."
"How could I not see your intentions?" Su Wanyi sneered. "You deliberately let me see the letters between Tang Mufeng and the Rebels, intentionally made me gather evidence to expel him from the mansion... You just wanted me to hate him, didn't you?"
I stared at her in shock, unable to speak.
Su Wanyi continued, "You originally wanted me to fall in love with Tang Mufeng, to meet him, to love him, and then become a legendary figure, right?"
I lowered my eyes and sighed. "So you understand everything."
"Of course I understand," Su Wanyi said coldly. "But I won't be fooled."
I frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
Su Wanyi looked at me and slowly said, "I won't fall for Tang Mufeng just because of your little tricks. I don't like him now, and I won't like him in the future."
I was puzzled. "Then why... why won't you leave?"
