CHAPTER 59
My Parents Died a Long Time Ago“This kind of blessing, you can slowly enjoy it yourself. This lady isn’t interested!” Jing Yue shrugged. She walked back to sit on the stone chair, grabbed a teacup and started to drink, completely ignoring the woman whose complexion greatly changed because of the words she had just said.
Not too long after Jing Yue sat down, she saw ZiLing came rus.h.i.+ng towards her with a group of people. Jing Yue just blinked and had not said anything yet when ZiLing, with both hands placed on her own hips, already glared at her and said: “This Princess called you before, why didn’t you come?”
“Why should I come to you just because you called me?” Jing Yue blinked her eyes and stared at ZiLing in absolute confusion before saying: “Would I get money if I came?”
“You……” ZiLing suddenly didn’t know how she should respond to Jing Yue’s words. Her heart thought that Jing Yue’s words seemed quite right; however, she was a Princess, there had never been a time when people didn’t come to her once she called them. Seeing Jing Yue’s att.i.tude right now, she suddenly didn’t know what kind of response would be good.
“Princess ZiLing, if you want other people to respect you, can’t you just learn to respect them first?” Jing Yue stood up and straightforwardly said to ZiLing: “It’s true that you are a Princess, but you also have nothing but this empty t.i.tle. Do you think that without this t.i.tle, all these people behind you would still be this indulgent to you?”
There was a slight quiver in ZiLing’s heart. She stared at Jing Yue and asked: “You…… What do you mean?”
“The meaning is literal.” Jing Yue shrugged and said: “But in the end you are a Princess, this fact won’t change. I only said that as an a.n.a.logy.”
“Let’s go, we need to go to the cla.s.s.” Having seen Yun momo came back, Jing Yue indifferently threw those words before turning around to leave, leaving behind a bewildered ZiLing pondering over her words.

When the cla.s.s finished today, both Jing Yue and ShangGuan LingLan went back together and both were told that there were guests in their home. Jing Yue naturally wouldn’t want to go back; she let the driver parked the carriage at the side while she and ShangGuan LingLan walked around and chatted.
“Ei (sigh)… today’s weather is really good.” Jing Yue squinted to watch the fiery sunset in the sky, there was a smile in her eyes as she enjoyed the beautiful sunset that illuminated the street. Joy burst in her heart as she seemed to recall those days she spent inside the forest.
“So it’s possible to see such a beautiful sky in the Imperial City ah.” Jing Yue sighed.
There was a slight move in ShangGuan LingLan’s heart. She turned her head to stare at Jing Yue and asked: “Jing Yue, back then, where did you live?”
“In Luo Man forest.” Jing Yue gave a faint answer. She blinked her eyes, stared at ShangGuan LingLan and said: “You must have never seen how big Luo Man forest is, those unique fruits inside, those mystical animals and plants and so on and so on.”
“Wa (wow)…… it seems really awesome……” ShangGuan LingLan’s eyes went bright; she stared at Jing Yue and asked: “You had been in the forest ever since you were a child? Have you ever thought about…… searching your parents?”
Jing Yue and ShangGuan LingLan had been friends for quite some times, however, the two persons had an extreme mutual understanding that Jing Yue’s past and parents were never to be discussed. Today, ShangGuan LingLan also didn’t know why, she suddenly wanted to ask Jing Yue, she wanted to know her thought.
“Never.” Jing Yue shook her head and said bluntly: “I have no interest in searching for parents who could even throw their own child away.”
“But…… haven’t you ever thought that you parents might have ‘hidden troubles hard to mention’?” ShangGuan Ling Lan, somewhat disagreed, wrinkled her brows.
“I don’t know what ‘hidden troubles hard to mention’ is; but to throw away a newborn baby inside a forest like that, no matter from which aspects, this kind of parents cannot be forgiven. Anyway, maybe my parents died a long time ago.”
