Chapter Ninety-One: Hang Oneself

When Hua Xi Wan heard what Yan Jin Qiu said, she did not feel surprised. She felt as though she had been waiting for this day. From childhood, she and Hua Yi Liu had different likes and personalities. If it wasn't for the fact that their fathers were full-blood brothers, she would not like to interact much with people like Hua Yi Liu.

She didn't feel any disappointment or fury that Hua Yi Liu had such hatred. In the end, it might even be because she had never treated Hua Yi Liu sincerely.

Hua Yi Liu was jealous of her and Second Sister, and she had never treated Hua Yi Liu with sincerity before, so it could not be blamed on anyone that the three of them had turned out like this now.

It could not be said who had been wrong in this situation. No one owed anyone. It was just that the roads they chose were different, they went in different directions, and so they would have different lives.

"Send her to the monastery for two years to clean her mind." Hua Xi Wan knew that Yan Jin Qiu giving her this matter to take care of meant leaving Hua Yi Liu alive. If he was the one to take care of this, would she keep her life?

"Wang Fei," Bai Xia said worriedly. "Eldest Miss has thoughts like this. If..."

"What if?" Hua Xi Wan raised an eyebrow and said, "Will I really do something like kill my sister to fight for a man?"

Bai Xia stilled and was bewildered.

"A man who has you in his heart will not need you constantly scheming." Hua Xi Wan looked at herself in the mirror. "Emotion as a result of scheming is just an illusion. It can fool others but not your own heart. A man who is truly worthy of the rest of your life should not allow his woman to fight against other women, but should control himself."

"This servant did not think it through. Wang Fei, do not think about this." Bai Xia had served Hua Xi Wan for many years and knew her personality. Since Hua Xi Wan had said this, then she would not be moved. Bai Xia turned to say, "This servant knows what you mean. Wang Ye definitely isn't someone who would look around. What this servant's worried about is, after Eldest Miss goes to the monastery, what to do if she does something detrimental to you?"

"She will not have a chance." Picking a silver hairpin out of the box and inserting it in her hair, Hua Xi Wan said serenely, "If she enters the monastery, before she thinks it through, she will not be able to see any outside guests."

She won't take Hua Yi Liu's life but that did not mean she was so saintly as to let Hua Yi Liu do as she wished. A monastery that did not take guests and was guarded by the people from the wang fu was most suitable to Hua Yi Liu.

Three days later, the di daughter of Assistant Minister Hua went to a monastery to cultivate herself. Aside from the two servant girls who entered the monastery with her, there was no one else accompanying her.

Hua Qing Mao was astride on his horse as he watched the doors to the monastery close in front of him. His mood was low and complicated. He turned back to look at the carriage with the insignia of Yi'an Marquis Fu and went in front of the carriage with pressed lips. "Big Brother, Jiejie has entered the monastery."

He didn't know what his elder sister had done that had displeased both Father and Mother. Even Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle who never meddled in the affairs of his family had agreed to this. He was young, but he was not ignorant. Eldest Sister had definitely done something wrong that would affect the entire Hua Family, to cause them to make this decision.

"This year's Spring Examination has been delayed a year due to the matters of the palace. You are young now; stay at home and study. I hope that by next year, our Hua Family will have another graduate." Hua Chang Bao raised the curtain. He was the heir of the marquis fu and the eldest son of the main branch. Consequently, he was interested in the future of Hua Qing Mao. "Eldest Miss will not be slighted in the monastery. Do not worry."
