  Simarui did not speak, he knew that his grandmother was indeed not very supportive of Sima Zhe and Hongyu's affair back then, and had always hoped that Sima Zhe would marry Yunhui, but the two people just didn't have any feelings for each other, they were closer than siblings when they met, but there was no romantic relationship between them.

  "Rou Yu is like family to me, like my mother and sister. But Mu Rong Jie was precious, a treasure that I could only gaze at from afar. Now, in this quiet place, I can calmly recall all the memories of her. At least when she fell ill, it was I who worried about her more than you did. You were still in Yue Jiao Lou, while I had already sent someone to inform Rou Yu and ask her to bring medicine back. Fortunately, everything turned out alright. Looking back now, this should be one of the happiest things for me." Si Ma Qiang smiled faintly, his expression calm and peaceful, different from before.

  "No matter where she is, it's already beyond our reach." Sima Rui smiled wistfully and looked up at the sky with tears falling, where can we see Feng'er's figure?

  Simar's eyes were somewhat dull and he didn't say a word.

  "Xiao Min, phone." Her sister-in-law's voice suddenly rang out. Bai Min felt as if her body had been abruptly pulled back, and when she opened her eyes, it was already daylight outside, with the sun high in the sky. Her sister-in-law handed her the phone, "Your new boss has called several times already, and it took a lot of effort to wake you up, haha, I'm afraid you'll have to go out again. It seems that when your parents come back, we should invite him over for a visit."

  Bai Min frowned, this Duan Zhishan was really annoying.

  Leaning against her cheek, looking at Duan Zhishan, Bai Min was very helpless. Why did this person have to like her? She didn't want to like him at all.

  "Fair enough, okay? You don't have to keep staring at me like I'm invisible." Duan Zhishan seemed like a man without temper in front of her, only smiling and entreating.

  Bai Min smiled as warmly as possible and didn't say a word.

  "Hello, you seem to have something on your mind, from the first time we met it was like that, is there anything wrong? Can I help?" Duan Zhishan looked at this woman, not a young girl in her youth, but with the loveliness of a young girl, and also with the introverted gentleness of a mature woman. On her body, it seemed to be mixed with absolutely contradictory temperament, yet blended very well.

  "I wonder what I was like in my past life?" said Bai Min lazily.

  "Past life? Is there me?" Duan Zhishan teased, "If you can't remember, just stick to this life. Love and hate again, it's not worth making things difficult for yourself."

  "I just wonder what my past life was like, why do I have such rich associations." Bai Min smiled slightly and said indifferently, "My past life should be many years ago, did I live in ancient times? What kind of story happened?"

  "Perhaps after many years, this will be your past life memory. At that time, I'll be the one you miss. Who knows, maybe you'll also ask me like this in your next life, 'What was my past life like?'". Duan Zhishan laughed very happily, it's been a long time since he had such a relaxed and casual conversation with a woman. Bai Min is just a simple, innocent, and delightful woman who brings joy to others.

  Bai Min couldn't help but laugh and say that it was indeed strange. Such an outstanding person was right in front of her, yet she didn't feel even a little moved.

  "Have you had fun for the past two days?" Dong Weiwei leaned in close to Bai Min's face, smiling slyly. "I heard from your sister that you've been with a certain handsome guy for two whole days, hehe, progress is really fast! Yesterday when I called, you weren't even at home."

  Bai Min's facial muscles moved slightly, which was equivalent to a faint smile, and he ignored her.

  "Value color over friendship." Dong Weiwei said with feigned displeasure, "Now that there's a handsome guy chasing after you, you've become indifferent to others. However, I must remind you, someone as handsome as him must have many stories, so be careful of those old and new fox spirits that might appear."

  "Hehe." Bai Min chuckled twice and said with a hint of seriousness, "Why don't you become a fox spirit too? You'd definitely be on the level of Daji."

  "What a pity that young man is just a sunny brother, not King Zhou. Otherwise, it would be harmless to seduce him." Dong Weiwei said with a laugh, looking like she didn't care at all.

  Bai Min really couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

  "What's so funny?" Duan Zhishan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking at the two women laughing brightly, sitting next to Bai Min. He seemed not to know how to be reserved, liking what he liked, his fondness was so overbearing.

  "Hey, Duan Zhishan, we're off work now, my sister and I are chatting, how did you suddenly pop up? What's going on?" Dong Weiwei said with intentional dissatisfaction. "You've already taken up the whole weekend, can't you even let us be during working hours?"

  Bai Min looked at Duan Zhishan's radiant smile, and suddenly thought of the two words "King Zhou". The King Zhou on TV didn't seem to be like this. If he was King Zhou, then Dong Weiwei must be Daji, and there would definitely be a show to watch. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and her laughter became more and more radiant. Dong Weiwei and Duan Zhishan looked at her with puzzled expressions.

  "Bai Min, you're laughing and making me feel uneasy," said Dong Weiwei with a serious expression.

  Bai Min leaned in close to her ear, barely holding back a smile, and whispered: "I was thinking, if he were King Zhou of Shang, and you were Daji, it would be chaos throughout the land. I finally understand what 'red beauty brings calamity' means, haha, but I'm afraid..."

  "You're going to die!" - Dong Weiwei pretended to hit Bai Min, and she couldn't help but laugh too. Continuing from where Bai Min left off, she said, "Alright then, that day you don't want him anymore, I'll treat him as King Zhou of Shang, tempt him a bit, and see if I can make him mine."

  Bai Min smiled and shook his head.

  Duan Zhishan looked at the two laughing women with a good temper, and it was fortunate for him to meet Bai Min. Such a lovely and genuine woman is hard to come by.

  She may be ordinary, but she is indeed rich.

  Inside the Fourth Prince's residence, Consort Li walked in quietly and looked at Sima Rui, who was sitting calmly. Her heart felt a pang of sorrow. This man, who had endured so much, why did only she know? Sima Rui's martial arts skills were extremely high, but because of his grandmother's orders, he had been poisoned in a state of mental confusion, unexpectedly. He didn't show any anger or resistance, and didn't have any reaction at all. Even when food was hard to swallow, he forced it down, mouthful by mouthful. Even when the night was hard to get through, he lay awake with his eyes open, one night after another until dawn. Just like that, he struggled through each day, his face growing pale and haggard, all for one thing: a heart that sought death!

  When Murong Feng left, it was as if Sima Rui was just a walking corpse. He quietly let himself go using normal means to leave for another world to accompany Murong Feng.
