Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1217 Famine and Natural Disaster 376

Chunmei was secretly delighted by her question, and had planned to show her loyalty after a while in order to keep him by her side; but she didn't expect that Master Cheng would ask her before she took any action. Since he asked her to this point, she naturally told him everything she knew and knelt down to show her loyalty.

"Please forgive me, my lady. I don't want to get married, nor do I want to stay in one place forever. I want to go out and see the wider world and see more human nature."

Chunmei paused, seeing Mingyi listening attentively, and slowly said, "If I rely on myself alone, my ideas and visions of the future will never come true. First, I am not free; second, I do not have enough family background and money to support my ideas. Fortunately, I met you when I was worried. You are kind and compassionate, but kind and sharp. If I am lucky enough to follow you, all my fantasies about the future will come true."

"Please accept me, my lady. I have no plan to marry in this life. I will stay by your side and serve you. I will be loyal to you and will never have any second thoughts." She raised three fingers and swore to the sky.

Mingyi stared at her for a while. She did not lie, at least she was not hypocritical when she offered her loyalty.

"Are you really determined to follow me?"

"I have already made up my mind. If you don't despise me, I will follow you till death, even if it means going through fire and water."

Chunmei's brows were filled with determination and her eyes were filled with resoluteness.

Mingyi nodded, "What about your family? You don't care about them either?"

"My parents have my brothers and sisters to take care of them, so they don't need me. I am the youngest child in the family, and my parents and brothers and sisters love me very much. Logically, I shouldn't want to not get married. However, I have seen the right and wrong in the Fucheng Palace, and I have seen too much of the husband-wife relationships of the Fucheng nobles and the common people. I don't have any thoughts anymore."

It's not that I'm afraid, but I just feel bored.

Marrying into an ordinary family and becoming someone's daughter-in-law or wife, you have to take care of the elderly, take care of your husband, give birth to children and raise them. It seems that a woman's life is all lived for others, not a single day for herself. This is not the life she wants.

What she wants is freedom, money and power, and the ability to see the mountains and rivers.

Even though she cannot realize it by herself, she can still realize these wishes by finding a backer, offering all her loyalty, and following her master.

"My lady, please allow me to send the monthly allowance back to Fucheng regularly to support my parents, but I also want to do what I want to do after fulfilling my responsibility of supporting my parents as a child."

After she said so much, Mingyi couldn't help but sigh that a little girl from ancient times actually had a heart that yearned for the outside world; yes, it was a heart, not a mind.

Chunmei has seen clearly what she should see at her age and class; she lives soberly and rationally, and has her own opinions on what she should and should not do. Such a girl is good, but also bad.

In modern times, a woman like her could earn enough money to buy a house, save more money, and live the way she wants. In ancient times, this was not allowed, and reality did not allow her to do so. She was concerned about power because she had no ability to protect herself; she was concerned about money because she was a slave and an unmarried girl, and could not worry about private property.

Under the double pressure, all she could think of was to be loyal to a reliable master, work for him, make money with a backer, and at the same time broaden her horizons by staying by his side.

  Should I say that this is a good idea?

But she was still too naive and placed all her hopes on her future master.

"I understand what you mean." Ming Yi slowly revealed, "You put all your hopes on your future master. What if you meet the wrong person? So, you are gambling; a bet that belongs to you. If you bet right, your future will be worry-free. If you bet wrong, you will die in a foreign land."

Chunmei pursed her lips, never expecting that a young lady who was only eight years old could have such a clear mind; before just now, she had always thought that Cheng Mingyi was kind and sharp, compassionate, capable, willing to give, skilled in martial arts, and intelligent. But she never thought that a young girl was so outstanding and had the ability to see through people's hearts.

"My lady, I am gambling."

"Even if I know your plan, will you still gamble?" "Yes!" Chunmei said firmly, "In life, I have seen from my parents that people should accept their fate. I want to live for myself. I don't want to be like my parents, who never see the outside world and live a monotonous life."

Ming Yi chuckled, "In that case, then stay with me. Remember what you said; be loyal to me for the rest of your life. If you have any second thoughts, you will be beheaded."

"I will never have second thoughts, even if I die."

"Very well, get up."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Chunmei's eyes blossomed into a relaxed smile, and she became more dependent on Mingyi; she stood up with her hands on the ground, and looked at Mingyi respectfully without fear, only awe.

Reverence is not fear, but fear must be accompanied by awe.

When Chunxi returned to the tent, she saw Chunmei talking and laughing in front of Master Cheng, looking relaxed and happy. She was surprised for a moment, but didn't think too much about it, and just said.

"Master Cheng, I will take your clothes and wash them."

"Thank you for your help. Chunmei, you can go too. You can keep me company. I don't need you to serve me here for the time being. Come back and rest after you have packed up." Mingyi looked up at her, his eyes focused and gentle.

Chun Xifu responded, "Yes."

"Master, I will go first. If you have anything you need us to do, please put it aside and wait for us to come back." Chunmei placed her hands in front of her abdomen, bowed and instructed.

Mingyi nodded and sent the two away.

They went out of the tent. Chunxi saw Chunmei's happy expression and guessed, "Chunmei, has Master Cheng agreed to take you in?"

Chunmei laughed heartily. Seeing that she had guessed it, she did not hide it and said frankly: "I knew I could not hide it from you. I just expressed my loyalty to the master, and the master agreed to keep me. I can follow the master now, Chunxi, I am so happy."

"I see." Chunxi said, "I understand your wish. You should follow Master Cheng and serve him well in the future. If you follow Master Cheng, what will happen to your parents? Will they go with you?"

Chunmei shook her head. "I don't know whether our family will follow Master Cheng or not. It all depends on Master Cheng's opinion. Even if we don't follow Master Cheng, it doesn't matter. I will send the monthly allowance back regularly to honor my parents. It won't prevent me from following Master Cheng."

Chunxi's heart paused, but when he saw Chunmei's joy, he couldn't express the worry in his heart anymore.

As a child of the family, everything is in the hands of the master; the prince values ​​​​Mr. Cheng now, but what about the future? If one day he no longer values ​​​​Mr. Cheng, Chunmei will find it difficult to choose between Mr. Cheng and his family.

"Chunxi, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy for me that I can follow Master Cheng?" She was happy for a while but then she realized that there was not much smile on the little sister's face, and there was even worry in her eyes when she looked at her.
