The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1993 - 167: So-Called Mercy

But after consuming the wine paste made from those magical fruits, she began possessing Inner Strength.

At this moment, Dong Huiying and Yixuan leapt into the air, soaring several dozen meters. The two used Qinggong, their figures resembling wild geese. In almost just a few movements, they had reached the backyard of the inn.

...

"The night is already deep, you should rest now."

Qin Chun approached Old Lady Qin, gazing intently at the old lady’s back, gently reminding her.

"Is it already dark?" the old lady sighed, then slowly turned around. "Did Wangwang and Little Star, the two of them... sleep?"

Qin Chun nodded, "Young Master Xing Xing sleeps early, while Young Master Wu Wang just went to bed."

Old Lady Qin massaged her waist, then sat on a stone stool.

"Qin Chun, do you think... is it because of old age? I’ve been so prone to daydreaming lately. As I keep thinking, I recall those things from back then."

"In one’s lifetime, from childhood to old age, the people we meet, and the events we encounter aren’t something we can decide, it’s all up to destiny, all up to fate."

The old lady’s heart was filled with many sentiments.

Qin Chun hesitated for a moment, then said, "Old Lady, don’t think too much. Those things weren’t your fault back then, and besides, there was no other choice at the time."

The old lady chuckled, but there was a great deal of sorrow in her laughter. "No choice, indeed no choice, there was only that path to take back then. I couldn’t just stand by and watch the foundation of my Qin family be destroyed, could I? But sometimes, I can’t help but wonder..."

"Qin Chun, tell me, why did he fancy Lao San back then? If he had been a bit more obedient and treated me a bit better, maybe things wouldn’t have ended up the way they did..."

The old lady remained unmarried all her life.

Having endured such hurt in her youth, she stubbornly believed that there were no good men in this world; they were all bad.

She knew this way of thinking was wrong, but during those flourishing youthful years, she was still a bit impetuous. Having suffered such grievance, her fiancé not only wanted to break off the engagement but also fancied her half-sister.

To her, at least to the young her at the time, it was a considerable humiliation.

Because of this humiliation, before inheriting the Qin family and managing its affairs, Old Lady Qin was once reduced to a laughingstock in Dongcui City.

In these past years, despite officially being the Qin family’s Master of the house, she constantly lived outside, returning to Dongcui City only once or twice a year. It was all because of those things from back then.

Too many adverse events happened in this city before.

There were sad ones, painful ones, unbearable ones, and even unforgettable ones.

Old Lady Qin exhaled deeply.

"I am actually quite nostalgic. Why couldn’t they just walk the right path? Why couldn’t they learn something good? They insisted on opposing me, but what’s gained from opposing?"

"Watching them jump around there every day is like watching a bunch of monkeys. But I think... maybe even those performing monkeys might be more pleasing than them."

This comparison almost made Qin Chun laugh. "Old Lady, you are kindhearted."

The old lady waved her hand, "What kindheartedness? In the end, it’s just that lingering old sentiments made me hesitant."

Just then, under the night sky, two sounds of wind abruptly arose.

Old Lady Qin and Qin Chun looked up,
