"I'm fine, go back."

Hui had regained her calm and composed demeanor, but the traces of sadness in her beautiful eyes revealed the turmoil in her heart.

Chapter 354 Kindness

Yasuo Nagayama resigned immediately after leaving.

The afternoon classes came to an abrupt end, and because there was no teacher, Hui was able to steal some free time.

When Kei returned to her room, although it was decorated exactly the same as her room in Aomori City, she didn't feel a sense of familiarity at all; all she felt was strangeness.

Nagayama Yasushi's words echoed in her ears again and again, each word piercing her heart, tearing open the wound that Hui had barely begun to forget, and rubbing salt into it.

Suddenly, Hui looked around at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings and realized that she had unknowingly become all alone.

The gorgeous dresses and expensive jewelry she wore brought Hui no warmth whatsoever. It was as if a void had been torn open in her heart, devouring her warmth, happiness, contentment... everything beautiful, growing bigger and bigger.

This feeling of emptiness and melancholy is extremely unpleasant, as if one is the only person in the world, and Hui desperately needs something to fill it.

Desperate and grasping at straws, Hui got up and went to the corridor outside the room, asking the four maids waiting there, "Has Yu-ren not returned yet? Give him a call, or better yet, just tell me where he is, and I'll go find him."

Hui wanted to go home. She finally understood a truth: this world is indifferent, and the only people who can love you unconditionally are your parents or your children. Blood ties are the only unbreakable bond of warmth in the world; everything else will change.

"Well... Madam, His Highness said he'll be back later," one of the maids said, her eyes darting around.

Hui noticed the maid's unusual behavior and wondered why Yujin would hide his whereabouts from her.

At that moment, Hui suddenly remembered that Hisahito would go to the palace every few days.

Hui also asked him curiously what he was going to do at the palace.

Yuhito only answered that he was preparing for the wedding.

That's why Hui didn't ask any more questions.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that this is not the case.

For the first time, she began to seriously examine the four maids beside her. They were dressed in the same standard servant's uniform, looked to be in their twenties, and had very ordinary appearances. Their only distinguishing feature was that they had no distinguishing features at all; they were the kind of people who would definitely be inconspicuous in a crowd.

That's normal, after all, Japan is a country where beautiful women are scarce. Even if there are pretty maids, they've already been spotted by important figures and taken into their homes, so there's no need for them to work hard as maids.

Furthermore, Hui also noticed that when she asked Yujin where he was, the two maids on the left were evasive and looked like they had something to hide, but the two maids on the right did not have that expression.

So, Hui asked the two maids on the right, "Tell me, where did Hisahito go?"

Sure enough, they answered truthfully, "His Highness went to the palace, but we don't know exactly where."

"Lead the way to the palace," Hui instructed.

"Yes." x 2

The two maids on the right answered.

They were maids assigned to Hui by the Imperial Household Agency, mainly to supervise Hui's studies as a concubine. They were not the same as the two maids from Hisahito's residence on the left.

They were about to lead the way for Hui, but the two maids from Hisahito's residence panicked: "Madam, no, His Highness said..."

“You do whatever His Highness says, and you disobey whatever I say. What, do you think I have no power base and therefore cannot control you?” Hui threatened.

“Madam, we don’t.” x 2

The two women looked at the stunningly beautiful future princess before them and groaned in despair, having no doubt about Hui's words.

Having spent these past few days together, they had come to see how much favored the future princess was. It could be said that His Highness the Prince was favored. Therefore, although they looked down on Hui's commoner background, they dared not neglect her in the slightest.

"Since there isn't one, then lead the way."

"But what about His Highness..."

"I will take responsibility for His Highness's situation; I won't let you bear the blame," Hui assured him.

Upon hearing this, the two maids exchanged glances, made up their minds, and turned to Hui, saying, "Yes, Madam."

then,

Accompanied by four personal maids, Hui arrived at the palace again by carriage.

The guard recognized Hui and let her pass without stopping her.

After getting off the carriage, the two maids led the way for Hui, and the group turned left and right in the backyard of the palace.

This is where the royal family lived. It was very quiet, with small courtyards everywhere, filled with neatly manicured vegetation, and pebbly paths running through them. Next to each courtyard was a small pond filled with water, and in the middle of the pond was always a deer-chasing game.

The so-called "chasing the deer" is a traditional technique where, after losing balance while filling a bamboo tube with water, the water is struck against a stone to produce a crisp sound.

However, just as Hui and her group were about to pass by...

A little boy who looked about four or five years old stumbled in front of them, seemingly lost.

When the little boy saw Hui, he began to wobble toward her, sucking on his chubby fingers as he went. He was incredibly cute.

Hui looked at the child and felt a strange sense of familiarity. Moreover, when she thought of the baby in her womb, she was overwhelmed with maternal love.

I couldn't help but take two steps forward, squat down in front of the little boy, gently stroke his soft, round head, and ask kindly, "Little friend, are you lost? Where are your parents?"

"Mmm...wammm..." The little boy looked at the pretty older sister in front of him, his teeth not yet fully developed, and babbled "Mama" while waving his little hands and rushing towards Hui.

Hui smiled gently, scooped the little boy up in her arms to prevent him from falling, and said softly, "Little boy, don't be naughty. I'm not your mother. You can't just call someone 'mother' randomly."

However, Hui didn't notice that when she said, "I am not your mother," the two maids from Hisahito's residence behind her looked strange, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Hui asked the maid behind her, "Whose palace is this nearby? Send the child back to his parents so that his family won't worry."

The two maids finally couldn't hold back any longer. They figured Hui would find out sooner or later anyway, so one of them slowly said to Hui, "Madam, the young prince's mother... is you."

"..."

Hui paused, her arms around the little boy still.

"I didn't hear you clearly, say it again!" Hui stared at the maid, waiting for her to explain.

And this time.

Yuujin's surprised voice came from ahead: "Kei, what are you doing here!?"

"What's wrong with you two? Why aren't you at home guarding the lady?" Hisahito scolded his two maids.

The two maids lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Hui looked up at Youren, who was accompanied by a woman who looked like a wet nurse.

I saw Hisahito.

Hui suddenly understood why the little boy looked familiar. He and Yu Ren looked 80% alike, and anyone who looked at them would know that they were...father and son.

At that moment, Kei suddenly realized what Yujin had been hiding from her.

Hui couldn't quite describe the feeling she had at that moment.

Is it hatred towards the other person?

Although he was her nominal fiancé, she had never developed feelings for him from the beginning. She felt neither hurt nor wronged, and there was nothing she hated about him.

So... what is this?

Perhaps, I've become even more disillusioned with men!

“I asked them to bring me here,” Hui said. “If you want to blame someone, blame me.”

The two maids looked at Xiang Hui with gratitude upon hearing this.

"Hui, no, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"I've informed you, and I've also learned that without realizing it, I... have gained a son!" Hui said sarcastically.

“Hui, listen to me, this child…” Yu Ren stared at Hui.

"Is it your child?"

“…Yes.” Yujin was silent for a moment before answering, and then continued to tell the story of the child’s background.

It turned out that this child was the result of his youthful ignorance. He never expected that the other party would hide the pregnancy from him, so much so that by the time he received the news, the child had already been born. Because she had a child out of wedlock, she hadn't had any prenatal checkups and died in childbirth...

After Yujin finished speaking, his face was full of sadness, clearly showing that the girl had forever etched him in his heart.

Hui listened quietly and said, "Don't be sad. The past is gone and cannot be changed."

"Besides, I really like this child. He's so chubby and cute. I'll be his mother!" Hui's beautiful face radiated maternal glow, but her heart was as cold as ice.

She had absolutely no illusions about this man.

Because he's a scumbag just like Kouta!

"You...you don't mind?"

"Why should you care? After all, the child is innocent!"

Seeing Hui Shengjie's innocent appearance, Youren finally felt relieved. He was really afraid that Hui would cause a huge fuss with him.

"Hui, you are such a kind person! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"Kindness! Perhaps. This is the first time I've realized I'm actually a kind person!"

Yu-Jin felt a strange unease as he listened to Hui's words, but when he saw Hui's overflowing maternal love as she teased her son, he stopped thinking about this vague and unrealistic thing.
