Chapter 696: Chapter 692: Lost and Found Again

“In life, there are no ifs, ands, or take-backs. Every negligence and oversight you make has consequences that penetrate your heart. Some people say the most beautiful things in the world are those which you can’t obtain and things you’ve lost. But what you can’t obtain clearly isn’t yours, while those lost were once yours. Now let me ask you, what’s the most beautiful?”

The dust in the steward’s room had settled, revealing the second son, looking quite disarrayed, leaning against the wall with a dazed look in his eyes.

Tang Xing was exceptionally talented, a talent that wasn’t solely exhibited in martial arts, but in all aspects—this is where the saying “the competent do not have an impossible task” comes from.

However, as the second son, he was too young and had an easy life. He did not need to think much and just strolled along the comfortable path before him. Under the care of his father, siblings, and loving mother, it seemed that he could reach the destination even with his eyes closed. Any trouble he encountered could be made up for, and thus, naturally, the second son was reluctant to think more deeply.

But the agonizing loss today finally made him reevaluate himself. At this moment, he seemed to feel himself maturing.

Reflecting back, he felt many of his past actions were foolish. If time could be turned back, there were many things he could’ve done much better.

Leaning against the wall to stand up, Tang Xing’s face looked awful yet had regained calmness. Although there were expressions of regret and pain on his face, there was a hint of resolution in his eyes. Despite his shaky voice, he stared at his elder brother seated opposite him and said, “What’s most beautiful is what we have now. Is this the lesson you intended to teach me using Miao Zhu’s life?”

Pain and resentment filled Tang Xing’s eyes, because he had realized— his brother had seemingly allowed events to unravel this far because he believed that exchanging a servant girl’s life to enlighten his foolish little brother was a worthwhile trade.

And as the primary beneficiary, he was indeed the true killer of Miao Zhu. Though he had decided to be tough, tears streamed unstoppable down his face, growing more and more.

Just as the tears that had stopped started welling up again, Tang Xing, who cried bitterly, felt deeply wronged. After all, for a twelve-year-old child facing such cold calculations, he didn’t know how to fight back, so he could only wail and shout, “But brother, Miao Zhu was innocent, how could you bear to do this!”
