211 Lin Zhou: The Ce Feis Story 2 (2/2)

”Did... she leave right away?” Yao Ling asked.

”No... I manage to persuade her to leave after one month. I wanted her to recuperate first, otherwise, she wouldn't survive on the outside world.” Tao Gu Gu answered.

Yao Linghesitantly asked, ”What... what was her reaction toward the baby?” She wanted to know whether she loved Han Xiang or not.

Tao Gu Gu sighed and she decided to drink her tea once more, just to calm her own self down. Thinking back around that time, it was a painful memory. Tao Gu Gu shook her head, ”She... wasn't in a really good state of mind, so... she didn't even take a glance at the baby. Although once in a while, I found that she cried sadly beside the baby crib.”

Tao Gu Gu didn't tell her the heartbreaking things that the Ce Fei had said around that time, ”I'm sorry... I'm sorry... little one... if only... if only... you are Lin Zheng's and mine's child... I will love you with all my heart. However, each time I saw you... I can only see those dreadful nights and how I betrayed Lin Zheng...”

Tao Gu Gu knew that she wanted to love the baby, but she was incapable to. There were too many damages in the woman's body and soul. She was beyond broken...

Yao Ling didn't know how to respond. After all, she never had a kid before and she had never gone through what the Ce Fei had gone through. She pitied Han Xiang but she couldn't put the blame on the Ce Fei too. This was all because of the current Han Emperor and that lowly woman's cruelty. If Lin Jian knew about this... would he seek revenge? Not only him... General Lin would probably also couldn't help himself back.

This was the woman that they loved and adored dearly they were talking about...

The current Han Emperor looked so infatuated back then and Yao Ling believed that everyone thought that she would be treated like a gem... But, it didn't seem so. She was only treated like a breeding machine and sex slave.

Tao Gu Gu defended the Ce Fei's decision, after all, she was the one who was there and she had seen all of her pain. ”The Ce Fei... I couldn't say that she wasn't wrong, but it was the best decision at that time. If you saw her depression, you would know. It was so severe back then.”

Yao Ling murmured her agreement. However, deep down inside her heart, she had always questioning herself... Why did she was abandoned by her birth parents? Why didn't they want her? Was she so unlovable that it made them make the decision to abandon her? When she listened to Ce Fei's painful experience, she started to change the way she thought about her birth parents.

She had a little bit of hope...

Maybe... just maybe... they had their own difficulties... It made her more determined to find her real family! She would talk about this to Yao Ying after she finished listening to Tao Gu Gu's story.

”Tao Gu Gu... do you know what happened after the Ce Fei was gone? What happened to the Ce Fei? I've heard that it was a famous story how the Shu woman ran away from the prince...” Yao Ling asked. ”Did she actually really... successfully run away?”
