Madam Miao continued in a heavy tone. "In terms of looks, your beauty is on a country toppling level. Even compared to all the absolute beauties in history until now, my daughter can still stand among the top 10 for sure! In addition, your family background and personal talent is not something common people can match! Even royal princesses of the mundane world have lower statuses than you! Your temperament is also gentle and refined. You are well versed in both the arts and cultivation and are a talent rarely seen in the world... but not only did this man not seize the chance to get close to you, he even rejected your affection! Why is that?"
Miao Xiao Miao could not help but fall silent in contemplation when she heard this. Although her mother's words were somewhat exaggerated, they were mostly true. With her qualifications, why did Mo Jun Ye still reject her? This was the reason why she was so confused.
"Mother... just what is the reason?" Miao Xiao Miao thought for a long time but was still unable to comprehend the reason.
"Ai... indeed, the person involved is often confused. The reason can be said to be extremely simple. It's right after he cracked that joke, his attitude became cold..." Madam Miao said with a heavy sigh.
"This... what is going on? How can it be the same reason?" Miao Xiao Miao grew anxious.
"This Free and Natural Physique prodigy... already has another person in his heart..." Madam Miao said lightly. "From what you've said, this Mo Jun Ye is a genius in the literary area, creating beautiful poems and verses with every sentence, each word being deeply touching and timelessly classic. Furthermore, every poem and song he makes is filled with true emotion that is as deep as the ocean. Yet... all those poems are filled with 'intense longing and unbearable' emotion... If those poems were really all composed by him... and... there's also the Song of the Burial of Flowers you received today..."
Madam Miao pointed at the score sheet in Miao Xiao Miao's hands. "This song... is likely not the work of some girl several hundred years ago... If it is, how come we've never heard of it before? You should know that your mother has been extremely fervent over music for many years. I have confidence that my knowledge of music is not inferior to anyone. But I've truly never heard of such a well arranged and excellent song before... For the sake of this hobby of mine, how many people have your father sent out over the years to scour the best music? When the song 'Laughing Proudly in the Pugilistic World' appeared in Chrysanthemum City previously, I obtained the entire music score in three days. If this was really an old song, there wouldn't be a reason for your mother to not know it...
"Also, although the melody of this song is excellent, meaning in the song is even more impressive. Apart from the feelings of self pity and pain, there is also the sorrow of love and departure..." Madam Miao sighed heavily: "I'm certain that this song is an original composition of Mo Jun Ye! This song was most likely composed for his own remembrance, which was why it had never spread out until now...
"You should know that if a girl reaches such a point of certain death, she would never write a poem like this... Although this song did not mention anything about the love between a man and woman, but every verse is filled with the sadness of love, as well as the grief of the loss of life and death... If a woman has her lover accompanying her side, even if she dies, it would be a happy and contented death. Why would she leave behind a song like this to torment her lover day and night? The both of us are female... could it be that we cannot understand the heart of a girl?"
Miao Xiao Miao's eyes widened with realization. "Mother's words indeed make sense. Could it be... this was created after his lover... departed?"
"There should be no mistakes about this." Madam Miao nodded. "Truthfully, he'd already hinted about this long ago. Remember you said before that he told that musical genius: 'There are no rivers to one who has crossed the ocean, and no clouds to one who has passed Mount Wu!' Unfortunately, you were too enchanted by him and hadn't realized it!
