Chapter 640: Truth or Falsehood Doesn't Matter
Chapter 640: Truth or Falsehood Doesn't Matter
This idea is rather absurd.
But at this moment, Lu Yangyang seemed to have suddenly figured out all the details.
If her dream was a pre-orchestrated story, then everything that seemed out of place to her would make perfect sense.
She was certain that she wasn't the "she" in her dream.
But if she hadn't met her aunt, hadn't learned medicine from her, and hadn't acquired the skills to make a living in this world, she must have accumulated too much resentment during those years struggling to survive in the countryside. And this resentment would have made her extremely eager to have, to gain her parents' approval, and to receive even just a few words of affirmation from them.
She might not intend to harm anyone, but she will certainly retaliate. However, what she sees as a retaliation will appear to those who don't care about her as a deliberate attempt to frame her. In her battles with Sheng Yunzhu, she will ultimately suffer a crushing defeat.
She may never understand until her death, or she may only realize after accumulating all her disappointment that the fairness and recognition she desires can never be given by others.
That will be a very long struggle.
Just like she dreamed.
Therefore, that person must also be her.
She played a character who longed for something but couldn't have it, until her exit from the story.
But she always believed in herself. She could struggle to survive alone in the countryside, and after she had accumulated enough disappointment, she would stand up again and struggle to live on.
This is the real her, regardless of her name.
Similarly, the people she knows, after the surface storyline fades away, will also have their own real convictions and choices.
Just as she had asked His Highness, if he learned of the injustice done to her, would that be considered upholding justice for her? He certainly would.
And then there's Lu Wei. The journey from the countryside to the capital may be too far for him, but one day he will keep his promise and go find her.
And then there's Sheng Junyi. No matter how his stance changes, the only thing that remains constant is that he will never let his elder brother die in vain.
The story that unfolds with Sheng Yunzhu after her rebirth as the protagonist is a glamorous chapter of Sheng Yunzhu's rise to power, but the real life hidden beneath that glamorous chapter is the truth of this world.
Her dream was a warning from heaven, but also a fleeting illusion.
Whether you can know your fate in advance or not, whether you can resist the mountain of malice, as long as you can make peace with yourself, it is enough to break the shackles of fate.
Be the protagonist of your own life.
"I've figured it out." Lu Yangyang looked at Sheng Junyi with a bright and cheerful expression: "The matter of being reborn may be real or it may be fake, but whether it's real or fake, we will do what we believe is right, so who cares if it's real or fake!"
Sheng Junyi was slightly taken aback, but then he understood. He was one of the few who guessed that Sheng Yunzhu was someone who had lived a second life. He didn't care how many lives Sheng Yunzhu had lived. He was only concerned that in another possible timeline, he had made a fatal mistake and become a blade in their hands, stabbing the person he cared about most.
He couldn't imagine what he would do when the truth was revealed.
But this is just needless worry; he will seek revenge, even if the enemy is himself.
He smiled slightly and nodded at Lu Yangyang, "That's right, whether it's true or false doesn't matter."
"So you made a special trip here because you found out that Sheng Yunzhu exposed Yuechuan's affair?" Lu Yangyang asked.
"That's only one aspect. If they succeed, the southwest will inevitably be in turmoil. Naturally, I had to go there personally to tell His Highness about this matter and let him make a decision. I just didn't expect that I would be a step too late." He was far away in Jiangnan at the time, and after receiving the news, he had other matters to arrange. He rushed over, and it just so happened that he missed the opportunity.
"As for the second point, the court has been quite lively this year. Last year, due to several major events and the rectification of the salt administration in Jiangnan, things were relatively calm for a while. However, since the beginning of spring this year, the emperor's health has been poor, and the court has begun to stir. Not only the Third Prince, but also the younger princes who are growing up have gradually developed their own ideas. In particular, the news that the prince is still alive has already reached the capital and has been making headlines for quite some time."
Hearing him say that, Lu Yangyang was surprised to realize that it had been a year since she left the capital.
She never expected so many things to happen in that year.
How could she possibly have the mind to pay attention to what was happening in the capital?
Although I knew that news of His Highness's survival would eventually reach the capital, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Lu Yangyang immediately stood up. "I just remembered I have something to do, so I'll go first."
We can't delay any longer; we must prepare the medicine as soon as possible.
As Lu Yangyang was about to leave, she turned around and took only a few steps before remembering something. She turned back and whispered in Sheng Junyi's ear, "Mingruo told me something. He suspects that Lin Wuji's background may be related to Northern Yan. You must remember to help me find out what's going on."
Sheng Junyi was also very surprised: "This matter is of great importance. Wait for my news."
Lu Yangyang nodded, turned around and grabbed Wen Qingqing: "Come on, let's go get to work first. Jiaojiao, you stay here with your second brother. If you want to go find Yan Yue, ask him to make arrangements for you. I need to go get the medicine first."
Sheng Yunjiao knew what she had been busy with these days, having spent so many days staking out Flame Valley just to obtain a medicinal ingredient. Naturally, she wouldn't go along and cause trouble, so she quickly said, "You go ahead with your work, don't worry about me, I can take care of myself!"
After everyone had run away, she belatedly realized what was happening and turned around to look at Sheng Junyi in confusion: "Wait a minute, Yangyang actually called you 'Second Brother' just now? That's strange. Second Brother, how did you manage to get Yangyang to forgive you? Could it be..."
Sheng Yunjiao looked at Sheng Junyi, who was becoming more and more alluring with age, and said with heartache, "Relying on his looks?"
Sheng Junyi tapped the table: "Xiao Si, come here."
Sheng Yun, petite and delicate, shuffled over, instinctively covering her head: "Second Brother, Second Brother, I was wrong. I was praising you, really, being good-looking is a skill. I admire you so much, really!"
"Really? Back then, you used my name to gossip to people and even accepted food from them. It seems you were actually quite useful?" Sheng Junyi said with a smile.
Sheng Yunjiao bit her lip and turned her face away. No way, no way, so he knew all about it?
You can't blame her, though. Her reputation is her most valuable asset. Those young girls in the capital are all bewitched by her. If she just lets out a few words, they treat her like a sister, sharing all sorts of gossip with her. She's just making the most of it.
"I've done so much for you, why don't you tell me first, what's going on between you and Yan Yue? Hmm?"
