Chapter 503 Zhu Mian's Confession

Zhuqi noticed that Xiang Zhu's expression seemed to have relaxed a little, so he quickly asked while the iron was hot: "Then can you forgive me?"

Xiang Zhu looked calm and said sincerely: "True morality is not difficult to practice. Since you have made a sincere choice, it will be very simple."

Zhuqi's eyes flashed with surprise, but he was also a little skeptical, and asked, "Really?"

Xiang Zhu nodded affirmatively and explained patiently: "Really, as long as you are willing, we can send you to another time and space."

When Zhuqi heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out in horror, "Is he going to die?"

Xiang Zhu waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, no, it's to go to a time and space where a spiritual fruit city is located. There, you can plant spiritual fruits and then enjoy them. You can eat this spiritual fruit now, and it can wash away your sins."

Zhuqi's eyes widened, still a little bit unbelieving, and asked again: "Really?"

Xiang Zhu nodded again, his eyes full of encouragement.

After Xiang Zhu sent the red lacquer away, he stood there quietly by himself, looking up at the sky. The sky was gloomy at this time, and drizzles of rain were falling. The raindrops were like fine silver threads, gently falling on the courtyard of Zhaoxing Pavilion, wetting the ground, and making the whole atmosphere seem even more quiet and a little melancholy.

Xiang Zhu just stood there, lost in thought, his brows slightly furrowed, as if thousands of thoughts were lingering in his mind. At this time, A Jing came over, looked at Xiang Zhu's appearance, and asked softly: "Xiang Zhu, what are you thinking about?"

Xiang Zhu slowly retracted his gaze and sighed softly, "I'm thinking about how difficult it is for people. People in this world are running around for various desires, but they often fall into scams and are carried away by desires. It's really hard."

After hearing this, Ajing nodded in agreement and said, "It's indeed not easy, but we are already taking action and working hard to change these situations." As he spoke, Ajing patted Xiang Zhu on the shoulder, as if to cheer him up.

Xiang Zhu smiled slightly and responded, "Yes, it will be soon. I believe everything will slowly get better." After that, he looked towards the courtyard in the rain again, with a little more determination in his eyes, as if he had seen a bright future slowly approaching.

When Ajing saw Zhu Mian, his eyes lit up and a little respect rose in his heart. Zhu Mian stood there, tall and straight, dressed very neatly, exuding a unique temperament, that temperament was elegant and tough, and quietly moved Ajing.

Zhu Mian raised his eyes slightly, looked at A Jing calmly, and then slowly spoke, his voice soft but clear: "Excuse me, what's going on?"

A Jing looked at Zhu Mian and responded politely: "Nothing, we are the spirit race."

When Zhu Mian heard this, she was stunned at first, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly came to her senses and nodded gently, as if she had her own thoughts about the answer. She just stood there quietly, waiting for Ajing's next explanation, with a look of inquiry and calmness in her eyes.

Zhu Mian sighed softly, looked at A Jing and said, "Speaking of the spirit race, I have heard of them, but I have been busy with various things at home and have never had the time to interact with you."

Ah Jing nodded slightly and responded: "I know, everyone in this world is busy with their own things."

Zhu Mian showed a trace of helplessness on her face, and continued: "In fact, I don't have any special expectations for our family, including those people in the family, especially my husband. I take care of the big and small affairs of the family every day, but they are always worried. I always feel like I am trying to hold up a sinking ship, but my strength is too weak. I always feel like the building is about to collapse and I can't help it up." As she spoke, Zhu Mian's eyes were full of fatigue and loneliness. After hearing this, Ajing whispered to comfort her: "This is not surprising. You are already considered to be a relatively lucky woman in the world. At least you have no worries about food and clothing. Many women are still struggling for food and clothing."

After hearing this, Zhu Mian just smiled bitterly, and that smile was full of bitterness and helplessness. She knew in her heart that how could having enough food and clothing make up for the heartbreaking things in the family? It's just that how could others fully understand the sadness in it.

Zhu Mian raised his eyes and glanced at A Jing, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and asked softly: "From the looks of you, you should not be married yet, right?"

Ah Jing nodded calmly and responded, "Not yet."

Zhu Mian looked at A Jing for a moment, and then said, "But it seems that you are well taken care of by your lover. That state is really enviable."

A faint smile appeared on Jing's face, and he replied, "Yes."

Zhu Mian then sighed helplessly and said, "Well, I am quite unfortunate. You should know what kind of person my husband Ma Qianqian is."

Ah Jing nodded again and said sincerely, "I have indeed read your file and have some understanding of your family's affairs."

Zhu Mian smiled bitterly and shook his head, continuing, "But there is nothing I can do. I am at the right age to get married, and I haven't met a better choice. He is the only person around me who seems to be suitable, so I just got married without knowing what I am doing."

Ajing quickly agreed: "This is normal, and Ma Qianqian is indeed a very good choice in this world." After saying that, Ajing sighed helplessly.

Zhu Mian frowned slightly, his eyes showing a trace of determination, and said: "Actually, I have thought about not wanting him anymore. This life is really too tiring."

After hearing this, Ah Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "Is this difficult?"

Zhu Mian bit his lip lightly and said in confusion: "Well, I don't know. Maybe you can ask him for me and see what he really thinks. I'm really fed up with this kind of life now."

Zhu Mian slowly raised his head, looking past Ajing and out the window behind him. There was a trace of yearning and thought in his eyes, as if he was secretly wondering in his heart whether there really was another possibility, a possibility that could escape from this exhausting life.

After a moment, Zhu Mian spoke slowly, with a hint of expectation and determination in his voice: "In fact, I have wanted to leave here for a long time, and I also think that you have the ability to help me leave and let me start a different life."

Ah Jing listened, nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "If you want, you can go to another time and space, which is the time and space where Lingguo City is located. Life there is carefree. You can throw away all your past troubles and start your life again."

Zhu Mian's eyes sparkled, and he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."

Seeing Zhu Mian made such a straightforward decision, A Jing began to make arrangements and soon sent Zhu Mian to Lingguo City. Zhu Mian stepped into the unknown but hopeful new time and space with full expectations, ready to welcome his own new life.
