Chapter 1978 Chu Yue’s Thoughts

Chu Yue didn't understand Old Master Nan's words at that time. But after that, he met with the young Nan Hua and saw her gaze in her direction. It was a rather cold and indifferent gaze, but Chu Yue felt that she understood what Old Master Nan was saying. Because underneath the cold and indifferent gaze, Chu Yue felt that she saw the same thing as the one she had.

Pain. Because of what had happened in the past, Chu Yue always found it hard to trust others. But Old Master Nan gave her another chance for her to live and to become a maidservants whose treatment was much better. She was even allowed to learn martial arts, something that she had longed to learn ever since she was young. Because of that, Chu Yue was willing to follow Old Master Nan's words and served Nan Hua well. And she found out…

Her talent that was once praised was nothing in front of Nan Hua's talent. She was able to instantly killed her if she had wanted to. Staying near Nan Hua, Chu Yue always felt a kind of pressure. One that made her unable to breath properly and experienced fear from the bottom of her heart. Because she knew very well that Nan Hua was a person that she could never surpass in her life. At first, Chu Yue was only doing her duties. Because this kind of life was much better than the life she had when she was young. She didn't have to worry about being beaten up, didn't have to worry about being hungry, didn't have to worry about the words of others. With Nan Hua's status as Old Master Nan's granddaughter, there was no lack of people who would come forward to flatter her. So Chu Yue could see that these servants were all polite to her. Just because of her status.

Even though Chu Yue was not used to it, she tried her best to adapt while following Nan Hua from the back. She watched Nan Hua's deeds and actions. Her way of doing things that seemed to be reckless, yet the end result has always been what she wanted. It was amazing. Not only that, Chu Yue was able to see Nan Hua's way of caring for them when she asked whether they wanted to follow her or not. Because following her meant that their lives would be different. But Chu Yue didn't hesitate. She had seen so many things while she was staying beside Nan Hua. And among those things, she felt that she wanted to see more. To be able to stay by Nan Hua's side and saw these things, she only felt that it was worthwhile.

Because she was the one who was selected to follow Nan Hua to the battlefield, Chu Yue was also the one who had the chance to see Nan Hua's emotional progress the most. From the cold and indifferent person.

To a person who could laugh and smile with others. Even if it was only directed to one person, but Chu Yue could see that Nan Hua was a bit more gentle when she was dealing with her own people. It felt as if she was watching Nan Hua's growth on her own.

And it was gratifying.

Now watching Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing's interaction made Chu Yue felt that perhaps, some marriages were not as bad as her parents. They only got together because of profit and in the end, neither got their ending well.

Chu Yue heard about her father from others when they passed by the city during the war.

Her father was jailed because of improper management of the funds and his second wife and the family was all implicated. They were all hated very much.

As for her mother? She had long died out of poverty and starvation in that village along with her family members because of their debt after their entire property was burned down by Chu Yue. Chu Yue felt nothing when she heard that.

For her who had already become Nan Hua's maidservants at that time, they no longer had any relationship whatsoever with her. "My parents didn't have the best relationship and I don't want to associate myself with them anymore," Chu Yue said unhurriedly. "Not everyone who are being sold by their parents can have good relationship with them."

Some children had already formed emotional bonds with their parents and willingly got sold. But there were also those who were sold when they were young and actually unwilling to leave their parents. The main reason for them to be sold was simply because of poverty.

While there were some people who were rich, but there were also those who were poor. And in order for those who were poor to be able to live, they could only resort in selling their children, especially the daughter.

Some of those who were sold came to a rather good place.

And the others who were sold suffered even more compared to the time when they were at home. Either way, it was not a good ending. "Right." Lou nodded.

There were some servants in Long Family Residence who were also sold by their parents. He had seen some of them when they first came. Some of them were full of resentment but some others were peaceful and there were also those who were grateful.

They all knew that after leaving their homes, they would embark in a completely different journey. While some of them kept contact with their family members, most of them cut off contacts from them.

They knew very well that their lives would no longer have any intersection after that contract had been signed. "What do you mean by you know?" Chu Yue asked.

"Don't be angry. I might not be sold by my parents since I have none, but I have seen the others in Young Master's residence," Lou explained. "Is it?" Chu Yue though about it and then felt that it should be true.
