Hua Ji forcefully suppressed the pain in his heart and managed a smile that looked worse than a cry. He said to Xing Yu, “Xing Yu, it’s me, your Aji. I’m back. Have you forgotten me?”

Hua Ji pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, embroidered with two cute black mandarin ducks.

“I’ve always carried this token you gave me, Xing Yu. How could you pretend not to know me?”

The hand holding the handkerchief was trembling. He seemed like a prisoner awaiting judgement.

Seeing Hua Ji in this state, Xing Yu felt a pang in her heart. She knew, however, that they would never be able to return to their old times.

“Hua Ji, you have a splendid future ahead of you and I am just a lowly servant.” Xing Yu bit her lip, struggling to hold back tears, “You should forget about me.” She bowed deeply to Hua Ji, her heart filled with pain, but thankful that he still remembered her.

The day that Tang Luo took Hua Ji away, the news quickly spread in the servant’s quarters about the pauper’s meteoric rise. Her friends had congratulated her, teasing that she was about to become the wife of the new shopkeeper.

Upon hearing the news, however, steward She Niang coldly said, “When he was the lowly Aji, Xing Yu, you were his treasure. But now that he is shopkeeper Hua, you are just a handmaid.

“Do you think a man who has gained power will still remember the lover he had when he was down? Stop dreaming. Outside the Tang Mansion, there are many young misses eager to marry a young steward like him. They are beautiful, refined, and come with hefty dowries. Do you think Hua Ji would still come looking for you? Wake up, girl.”

Although Xing Yu did not dare to refute her, she felt a deep resentment inside. She believed Aji was not like this. She believed that Aji would remember their promise.

Months passed in this manner, with no news from Hua Ji.

Xing Yu, originally envied by others, had become a object of pity, a girl who had been abandoned.

Xing Yu was still a handmaid while Hua Ji was now the shopkeeper.

It seemed that their love was destined to end the day Tang Luo appeared.

No one knew the vast range of emotions swirling in the young handmaid’s heart – the initial anticipation, the subsequent disappointment, desolation and acceptance – and how it had all been replaced by numbness.
