Chapter 446: Fishy
When Dong Geming heard Luo Huian’s scolding, her expression shifted and turned softer. She chuckled and remarked, “Oh, you mean to say that I am allowed to be upset and sad? I thought you would tell me, like others, that I am being foolish. After all, I have strength and money; I have everything that could keep a person happy.”

“What do you mean by foolish?” Luo Huian snorted. She drank another flashk of wine and then said to Dong Geming, “No matter how rich or strong you become in the end, what you will crave will be warmth and peace. Has anyone given you that?” She questioned and the silly smile on Dong Geming’s lips fell slowly.

“Did anyone give it to you?” Luo Huian asked when she did not hear a response.

And Dong Geming shook her head at once.

“See?” Luo Huian banged the flask on the table and sighed. “If money was enough, why would humans marry? If being strong was enough, why would the heavens bless humans with the ability to cry and shed tears? Why would the heavens give a child the warmth of a family? Isn’t it because having money, fame and strength is not enough?”

She picked up the fried chicken and took a large bite before continuing, “So if anyone tells you that you are being foolish for feeling when you have money and strength, just tell them that you are too cold.”

“Cold?”

“Yeah, cold,” Luo Huian nodded as she finished chewing and swallowed her food. “Tell them that you have everything but you are looking for the warmth that they have and you don’t; its because you are too deprived of that happiness and couldn’t help but crave it.”

She raised her head and smiled at Dong Geming before adding, “Its often those who cannot get this warmth who feel saddened and aggrieved.”

Dong Geming was stunned when she heard Luo Huian’s words but then her eyes softened and she couldn’t help but shed a few tears because what Luo Huian said was indeed the truth. Though she was no longer as weak as she was in the past, somewhere in her heart she wished that when her parents came to look for her, they would truly care for her and not for her elder sister, but when did her wish ever come true? Not only was she scolded but she was also called unfilial.

Many times she wondered if it was her who was being too much and was asking too much but after talking with Luo Huian she realised that she was not asking too much.

Her eyes turned red and she picked up the flask before drowning the liquor inside of it. “You are right. Its not that I am asking for too much; its them who cannot see it.”

She looked at Luo Huian and stated in a calm voice, “You might not know this but I was sent to the countryside and was left in the care of my grandfather. He was the one who raised me up until I was eighteen but then I was awakened and taken away from the house where I grew up.”

“My parents wanted to get close to me but no matter what they brought and gave to me, I just couldn’t get close to them. Sometimes I wondered if I was the one who was being too much and not giving the chance to get close. But when my grandfather passed away and they refused to let me see him for the last time, I realised that they never really cared for me.”

Though her parents said that they were doing it for her, once her elder sister inherited the legacy left behind by her grandfather, she realised what was going on.

When she confronted her parents, they called her selfish. They said that she had the strength to earn more wealth but her sister was weak and she couldn’t do it.

Like she cared about the money! Dong Geming knew that those things were left to her by her grandpa but the things were taken away by her sister. Wasn’t it too much? They even questioned her and held her accountable, which was too much.

“Is that why you are upset?” Luo Huian asked and Dong Geming shook her head.

She replied, “No, they have been doing this for many years; I am no longer bothered by it anymore.”

“Then whats the matter?”

Dong Geming thought about it and then decided to tell Luo Huian the truth. It turned out that when her grandfather grew old, he adopted a young woman in the village. This young woman grew up by the side of her grandfather and soon went to study in the city. But after her grandfather died, Dong Geming took charge of this young woman and helped her get a decent job and then get married.

Everything was fine till now but then —

“I heard from the villagers that the girl ended up getting into an accident and died… I have no idea what happened to her. When I tried to reach out to her husband, he simply said that he had no idea what happened to her.”

“Isn’t there a corpse?”

Though Luo Huian was drunk, she still held some sense of reasoning. She looked at Dong Geming and questioned, “If she is dead, then there should be a corpse, right?”

“There should be one,” Dong Geming sighed as she rubbed her hands and muttered, “but there isn’t one as she died in the dungeons.”

With the ferocious beasts that lurked in the dungeons, who could guarantee what would happen inside the dungeons?

Luo Huian didn’t speak as she simply lowered her head and calmly sipped on her liquor but then she muttered, “Isn’t it too fishy?”

“Hmm.. what?”

“No matter how the woman died… isn’t the reaction of her husband a bit too cold? His wife died in the dungeons and he didn’t even demand an explanation? Just accept it? Its as if he knew that she was going to die.”
