Chapter 175: End of the Main Story

Start from the beginning
                                    

Xiao Yu was not particularly remarkable. When he looked at her, his eyes occasionally carried complexity and melancholy. He always treated her respectfully, rarely staying in the same room with her, and stayed under the same roof.

For Chu Shao, the only good thing about Xiao Yu was the faint scent of mint that he carried with him all year round.

The prince with the scent of mint was about to ascend to the throne and become the Emperor of Qi Country.

On a snowy day, he brought her to the Yangjiao Lane and ate freshly cooked tofu pudding from a shop.

He put a bowl of savory tofu pudding that Chu Shao disliked in front of her and talked about his childhood memories with Prince Yan.

Her nominal husband said that this was the shop Prince Yan loved to eat at and the lane he loved to stroll through.

She smiled, responded, but her eyes were fixed on the light dusting of snow covering the lantern.

Xiao Yu continued talking, and Chu Shao didn't pay much attention, finishing everything she disliked in the bowl.

Then she realized again that what she was attached to was not the scent of mint, but the person who accompanied her in her memories, the one with the faint fragrance.

Chu Shao restored her country and ascended the throne. She once visited Prince Yan 's mansion.

She didn't know why she wanted to come here and walked through the entire mansion.

Seeing the hundreds of withered mint plants stacked in the warehouse, she understood why Xiao Yu looked at her with that complex and melancholic gaze.

After many more years, Chu Shao lay on the bed, feeling death approaching.

She had some expectations, whether she would be able to see that person she encountered in her youth again and the god who appeared by her bedside.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a group of young people dressed in fresh clothes surrounding the white-haired woman in the snow, saying, "She's so ugly, this old lady is so ugly."

"Kill her, don't let her scare people again!"

Chu Shao remembered the words the god had said:

"I give you reincarnation and eternal life."

"Until you obtain true love, you will not die."

So, there really were gods in the world. But she no longer hoped to obtain love.

Looking at the spirited young people, Chu Shao suddenly remembered that at that time, she had a dagger given by her birth mother tied around her waist.

Why didn't she draw the dagger from its sheath back then?

In an instant, Chu Shao realized.

She didn't draw it from the sheath back then, it must have been for now.

Her birth mother loved her. As long as she saved her birth mother, she could obtain love. She could end her life happily.

Chu Shao took the dagger and killed every young person in front of her. She came to Rong Lian's side, put down the dagger, and embraced Rong Lian's thin and weak body.

She was about to speak to Rong Lian and ask if Rong Lian loved her very much.

A blood-stained dagger pierced her heart.

Chu Shao stared blankly at the dagger stuck in her chest.

Rong Lian, with white hair, withdrew the dagger in an instant and aimed it at her chest, stabbing again.
