USWHC -Chapter 226 Someone Here to Smash the Scene (Part 6)

“It’s my fault. I disturbed you while you were doing something important!” Zhu Jie even put on a very regretful expression and kept saying, “Just pretend you didn’t see me and continue!”

Huh?

This time Hua Feixue’s jaw practically dropped. She hadn’t misunderstood earlier—Zhu Jie really was telling her to continue… dying!

“Why? Do I really deserve to die this much?” Hua Feixue finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into loud sobs. “Why is heaven treating me like this? What did I do wrong to suffer such humiliation today?”

“You only rode a returning bridal sedan. What’s the big deal? At least you’re still alive,” Zhu Jie said lightly, as if it were nothing at all.

“It didn’t happen to you, of course you say it so easily!” Hua Feixue cried bitterly. “How can I ever have the face to keep living in the future?”

“How do you not have the face to live?” Zhu Jie sneered coldly. “The Sun family can still live with dignity. The Pingning County Princess can live with dignity. So why can’t you? You only took a return trip in the bridal sedan. There are plenty of people who get divorced and still live on just fine—many of them live stronger and more wonderfully than before.”

“Not only should you live, you should live even better!” Zhu Jie said firmly. “Otherwise you’d be wasting the chance heaven gave you to live again.”

“Heaven didn’t want me to live! Heaven clearly wants to force me to death!” Hua Feixue wailed in self-pity, as if the whole world had wronged her.

But Zhu Jie shook her head very seriously. “No. Heaven saved your life.”

“That’s impossible!” Hua Feixue shouted back, releasing all the anger in her heart with that roar.

“You’ve already seen what kind of person the Pingning County Princess is today,” Zhu Jie said calmly. “Think about it—if she had arrived a little later and you had truly married into the Sun family, what would have happened? Do you think she would have tolerated you?”

Hua Feixue froze slightly, but stubbornly muttered, “At that time she should still respect human life, right? After all, I would have been properly and legitimately married!”

“Haha, I didn’t expect you to be this naive.” Zhu Jie sneered twice. Then she even stretched out a hand politely and said, “Go on! Just pretend I never came in!”

With that, she turned around and was about to step out the door.

“Wait!”

Just as she was about to close the door behind her, Hua Feixue suddenly shouted. She was so anxious she nearly ran after her. Her face was awkward, flushed red as she stammered, “I—I just…”

Zhu Jie looked at her expression and knew Hua Feixue understood everything in her heart, but simply refused to say it aloud. After a long moment, she finally sighed softly.

“You just don’t want to believe it. You just can’t accept it, right?”

“Why am I so unlucky!” Hua Feixue suddenly wailed again and collapsed weakly into the chair. But her crying gradually grew softer—whimpering, full of grievance.

Zhu Jie didn’t step forward to comfort her. She simply picked up a chair from beside the desk and sat down quietly, waiting for her to vent the grief and anger in her heart.

After a long while, Hua Feixue finally seemed to have no strength left to cry. Her tears had run dry, and only occasional quiet sniffles could be heard. Her emotions slowly calmed.

Only then did Zhu Jie speak softly.

“You should already know without me saying it—if you had married into the Sun family today, tomorrow you might have been carried out of there.”

She deliberately sighed faintly before continuing.

“As for those bright futures you imagined, and those promises Aunt Fei made to you… I’m afraid they were nothing but illusions.”

“But why? Why didn’t he come to help me?” Hua Feixue still choked with tears, the grievance in her eyes obvious. “He just let them strip me and carry me back like that?”

“Don’t think too highly of him,” Zhu Jie said with a cold laugh. “If he really dared to argue with the Pingning County Princess, he wouldn’t have come back to our little village to find a rustic country woman as his wife.”

She even sneered and added:

“If the Pingning County Princess were willing, with the Sun family’s conditions they could easily find a daughter from a minor official’s family. Sometimes for the sake of marriage alliances, the Duke of Ying’s household might even send a collateral concubine-born daughter to marry into the Sun family as a concubine.”

“But now they’ve ended up coming all the way back to this poor, remote countryside—why do you think that is?”
