Li Weiyoung, {Ping City}
It's been months since I entered Li Manor, and I still wasn't any closer to avenging my family. Li Minfeng was only an arm's length away, yet I could not condemn him for his crimes. My people continued to suffer under Chiyun Nan's iron grip. I furiously tried to keep the tears from falling on my face.
God, if you're listening, tell Xin'er what to do.
"Lady Weiyoung!"
I jolted from my thoughts at the sound of my name. Bai Zhi walked into my room and curtsied briefly. She appeared to be bursting with joy about something.
"Great news! The disaster relief plan was a huge success. Prince Nan'an is overseeing the execution of the plan, and shelters have been set up for those who lost everything. Ming Province is going to be alright!"
"Oh, that's wonderful!" I said, taking a huge sigh of relief. "Thank God."
"Miss, his highness is offering a reward for the person responsible for the proposal. I've heard he's determined to find the one who sent it to him. Perhaps...."
"Absolutely not. I know you have good intentions, but the answer is still no. I didn't do this for the recognition, or any honors. The people were in trouble and I wanted to help. Prince Nan'an has been so kind to me, even when I've been nothing but cruel."
"It seems you really care for Prince Nan'an."
"Alright, enough of this. I told you, I didn't do this for him."
The two of us sat in silence for a while, until Bai Zhi piped up again.
"Rest assured, my lady, I followed your instructions. I left the scroll with the plans on his doorstep. I was long gone before he even saw them, so he cannot tie this back to you."
I smiled. "Thank you Bai Zhi. I know it might not make sense, but this is the best thing for everyone."
A sharp knock on the door caught my attention. Who on earth would be at my door at noon?
"Come in."
The soft patter of small feet revealed the visitor as none other than Chun Ming. She bowed her head for a moment before speaking.
"Lady Weiyoung, please come with me. Madam wants to speak with you."
