His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 2]

Chapter 254 - 255

🔘Chapter 254: The Helpless Hidden Guards

After saying that, Aunt Yue could feel her body organs were failing one by one and the end was near.

Rong Jie was going to say that he loved her too when he felt that she had become lifeless.

She... had stopped breathing...

"No..." He yelled loudly, piercing the quiet night.

His whole body was trembling in grief and he was desperately tried to wake her up.

"Yue Yue... please... please stop joking! You are only fooling me, right?"

He kept begging, however, the woman didn't even move an inch.

She just laid there quietly... like she was sleeping.

The man could only sit there weakly because he still couldn't accept reality.

It took him a little while before he could gather himself together.

If he didn't make a promise, he wouldn't fight the beast inside him and follow along its demand to kill the one who had taken her power... his own granddaughter --- Yao Ling.

Without a second thought, he took his Yue Yue's body away.

He needed to get away from this cursed place!

He was feeling angry at their fate! It was so tragic!

What if back then his brother didn't conspire with the others to kill him just to take his title?

They threw his body away to the sea mercilessly.

Not only that, but he had also taken his Yue Yue! If someone didn't save him back then, he would have been dead.

If he knew it would be this painful to be left by his Yue Yue, he should have just died back then.

However... he also didn't have the heart to let his Yue Yue bear this pain.

He knew what made his Yue Yue persist to continue living was their bond. Their bond knew... that he was still alive...

"Yue Yue... if that didn't happen back then, would we live a happy life?" He asked her lifeless body, even though he knew that she wouldn't be able to answer him.

His gaze became blank and he could only see a bleak future.

If only... she didn't force him to make a promise...

'Yue Yue... I never knew that you could be this cruel!' Despite feeling anguish, he still didn't have the heart to blame her.

That night, Aunt Yue's body and a man named Rong Jie vanished from the forbidden place.

Someday... he would appear and protect Yao Ling from harm --- just like what he had promised his Yue Yue.

After all, Yao Ling was also his granddaughter.

He had already accepted that fact.

Someday... For now, he needed to take care of his Yue Yue's body and lick his own wounds.

Rong Jie didn't forget to burn down the little house so it would remove every trace there.

Everything was gone in a heartbeat, but there was no regret in Rong Jie's heart.

He had wanted to burn this prison a long time ago.

'Yue Yue... you are free now... When I finish the task that you have given me... I will certainly come to find you... wherever you are...' Rong Jie made a promise to himself.
