The next day, Begonia told him a secret — she had someone she liked.

And this person was none other than the recently departed Young Noble Huang.

When Begonia mentions that man, her face will reveal the shy expression of a young girl. How rare is this?

However, Shang's heart felt as if it was pierced by a thorn.

"Very good." It was just two simple words, but no one could tell whether it was happy or sad.

The old procuress stood outside the door and called Li Shang out.

Behind him, Begonia clearly had a look of reluctance in her eyes.

As long as she was alive and clean, he would be satisfied.

In fact, Li Shang was mentally prepared. Whenever the bawd came to talk to him, it was not for the purpose of receiving guests.

However, this time, it came as a surprise to Li Shang.

"You can leave. I know you don't like this place, and I won't force you to stay. Here's 10 silver taels, take it and live by yourself. Whether you live or die in the future, it has nothing to do with my Beauty Pavilion." With that, the old procuress stuffed the two taels of silver into her palm, allowing her to hold on to them.

For the first time, Li Shang realized that the bawd's hand was warm.

"Can I really leave?" She found it hard to believe. She had actually thought of escaping countless times, and there had been many examples of this before. However, they all ended up being brought back before she could take them far, continuing her life as neither a human nor a ghost.

The bawd was in charge of managing the huge Beauty Pavilion. Naturally, she had her own methods. Inside and outside the house, there were only strong men guarding. Even if they had wings, they could not escape.

Now, having been told that she could leave in broad daylight, she suspected that she had misheard.

"Of course, I can do it now." It was the first time that the old procuress had shown her a kind smile.

Shang then walked out of the bawd's room in jubilation.

Great, she could finally leave this hell and not have to live in fear every day.

After the excitement, most of them were disappointed.

If he left, what would happen to her?

Unknowingly, he came to her room.

A hand that was about to knock on the door rose and fell.

A slightly hoarse voice came from inside the room, "Is something the matter?"

In a room that Shang could not see, a woman was lying on the bed, her hands tightly clutching the bedding. She was crying silently, her tears pouring down like rain.

"I'm leaving …" She should have been excited and happy at the same time, but now the words came out of her mouth and changed their tone.

"Congratulations." The first two words, even he himself knew how reluctant he was to say them.

But Shang couldn't hear it, she only thought that she was sincerely congratulating him. After all, no one understood how much they wanted to leave this place.

Actually, Begonia should also have this dream. But the difference between her and him is that she wants to leave with enough silver.

As for him, he just wanted to protect himself.

"Then... I'm leaving. "

The figure outside the door paused for a moment, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Deep in the night, the flower was unable to sleep, all he could think about was her. Where was she now? How are you doing? Having regained her freedom, she should have a lot of things to do.

The man by her side hugged her and said softly, "You've done so much for her, yet she's always resented you. Can't you feel pain in your heart?"

"How could it not be painful? I wanted to tell her several times, but after thinking about it, it's better to forget about it. After all, in her life, the most beautiful and flawless thing is to lose me."

Shang, may you be all right.

Sometimes, fate was really something that could only be met by chance and not sought. After Li Shang left the Beauty Pavilion, she did not know where to go for a while.

As she walked aimlessly, she inadvertently saw an old granny lying on the ground. It seemed like she had sprained her ankle.

Her father had taught her to help others, and she had always kept that in mind, so she went to help the old woman.

With this support, he was able to reach home.

The old granny's home was very simple and crude, but her life seemed to be going well.

This was because the old granny had always been whispering in her ear about her filial grandson.

It was only when her grandson came back that Shang realized she was not lying.

Qiao Miaosheng was just like her father, an Elementary Scholar who had read a lot of poetry and was now a teacher.

Although he was quite knowledgeable, he wasn't pedantic at all. On the contrary, he was very quick-witted and knew how to amuse girls.

After just half a day of interaction, this man and woman had already developed a good impression of each other.

Under the witness of their mother-in-law, the two of them decided to spend the rest of their lives together.

Qiao Miaosheng would take her to the school where they were teaching and would let the children call her Mistress.

Hearing this, Li Shang was elated.

Everything was so beautiful. Her life was filled with light.

This was her truest feeling at the moment.

"Mistress, you are so beautiful." A girl ran up to her, smiling.

There were many males and females in the academy, so this girl should have a good family background, which was why she had the right to study here.

"Thank you. What's your name?" Shang knelt down and gently caressed the girl's small head.

"My name is Begonia. I'm the Begonia that bloomed at night."

With these words, Li Shang's smile froze on her face. Begonia, flower of the night …

Wasn't she, who was currently entertaining the guests at the Beauty Pavilion, a crabapple flower that bloomed only at night?

Actually, he really wanted to bring her out with him. Even if he had to lead a miserable life, he would be willing to do so.

However, some things were difficult to accomplish in one and thus many regrets were found.

Qiao Miaomiao treated Shang very well, leaving everything to her. After all, he had a beautiful wife, so how could he bear to treat her unfairly?

Meanwhile, Li Shang was a virtuous woman who revered the grandmother and kept the affairs of her family in order. The neighbors praised him.

The next time he saw Begonia was eight days after Shang left the Beauty Pavilion.

That day, the crabapple tree was wrapped in a veil, exposing only a pair of eyes.

"I hear you're having a good time."

"Right." Shang nodded, "What about you?" Why did you come out? "

In the past, she should have been receiving guests in her room at this time.

"I... "Come out and play." Shang could not see the smile on the flower.

The two women stared at each other in silence for a long time.

Actually, there were thousands of words in his heart. However, when he saw the real person, he realized that he couldn't say a single word.

"I'll leave this bell as a souvenir for you. I'm afraid we won't meet again in the future." As the crabapple spoke, it took off the bell on its wrist.

Shang was stunned for a moment before he slowly extended his hand to receive it.

In his heart, he had been pondering over her words. It would be difficult to see her again in the future, what did this mean?

"I have to go back. Take care."

Before Shang could ask, the flower had already turned around and left. She came and went in a hurry, just like the time when the two of them had just met.

Actually, judging from the back of Begonia's body, she had lost weight. Her eyes were no longer as lively as they were before. Not only that, they were still filled with endless emotions.

She, who treated receiving guests as a big matter, would also have times when her body was unable to endure. In her heart, it was certain that fatigue would arise.

Qiao Miaosheng walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Who is she?"

Only after seeing the two of them talking to each other did they come over to ask curiously.

"An old friend."
