Chapter 504 - 504 Letting Go
Yan Zhiwu fell into deep thought after hearing that.
When Lord Yan saw this, he waved his hand and said, “Go. Go back and think about it.
“Unless you’re willing to give up your present glory and wealth to be a pair of free and wild cranes that may be hunted at any time.
“Remember, you are the eldest grandson of the Yan family, the pillar of the Yan family.”
Yan Zhiwu nodded and returned to his courtyard with a heavy heart.
He entered his study room and took a pen and paper to write and draw for hours.
Realization dawned upon him, and after two hours of writing, tearing, and more writing, he finished a letter to Sun Miaoke.
After handing it over to his mother the next morning, he set off for the military camp.
Mrs. Yan looked at the letter as if it were a hot potato.
Because when she saw her unshaven and dispirited son appear in front of her, she had already guessed the contents of the letter.
However, for the sake of the future of the two families and to give Sun Miaoke an explanation, she still braced herself and personally handed the letter to Sun Miaoke. “Miaoke, you two are not fated to be together in this life. I hope you two can meet again in your next life.”
After saying that, she did not dare stay any longer. She stood up and patted Mrs. Sun’s shoulder before quickly leaving.
When Mrs. Sun saw this, she felt more at ease. Although she was angry at the Yan family’s decision, she understood their reasons.
She stared straight at Sun Miaoke, afraid she would do something stupid again.
Sun Miaoke had naturally guessed Yan Zhiwu’s answer. The words in the letter were all too familiar, but when she opened it, she realized she didn’t recognize a single one. The meaning of its contents was utterly lost on her.
At the same time, her tears fell like broken pearls.
Mrs. Sun’s heart ached, but she also knew that Sun Miaoke had to go through this herself. She only stood guard and did not go forward to comfort her.
About two hours later, Sun Miaoke finally calmed down and carefully read the letter that was drenched in tears.
There was no mention of love in the letter. Instead, it gave her a breakdown of the capital’s current situation.
The last thing he mentioned was that they had all been raised in luxury since they were young. It was time to repay their parents and families, so they could not be too selfish.
After Sun Miaoke read it three times, she calmly asked Qing Tao to bring an oil lamp and burn the letter.
“Mother, I’m tired; I want to sleep.”
Mrs. Sun looked at her in a daze and asked, “Miaoke, are you alright?”
“Mother, don’t worry. I’m fine. I just want to sleep.” Sun Miaoke turned around and closed her eyes.
Mrs. Sun could only give Qiao Tao a look, turn around, and walk out.
As soon as she left, Sun Miaoke started crying again. After a while, she covered herself with the blanket and cried loudly. She only fell asleep after she was all exhausted from crying.
When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Listening to sparrows chirping and looking at the bright sunlight outside, she sat up and stretched. “Qiao Tao, I’m up.”
“All, I’m here.” Qiao Tao responded and ran in.
Looking at the energetic and radiant Sun Miaoke, she exclaimed in disbelief, “Miss, you…?”
“I’m fine. Alright, hurry up and clean up so I can have breakfast; I’m going to faint from hunger.” Sun Miaoke said as she put on her clothes.
“Alright, I will go prepare breakfast immediately.” Seeing this, Qing Tao knew Sun Miaoke had really thought it through. She quickly turned around and ran
