Chapter 67: Choice 2
67 Choice 2
Chun Maora stays within the prison feeling vexed. She cannot accept this end. How can she, a noble woman, fall into the trap of other woman like this? With this, her reputation is destroyed and she can't life the same live as before.
She doesn't want to stay in this prison. There must be a way out. Looking at the dark chamber and the poor condition of the prison, Chun Maora knows that she doesn't want this end. Then she heard someone coming. When she looks up, she found that the person who once loves her very much is standing there.
Chun Masaya.
"Maora…" Chun Masaya calls softly.
"Big Brother!" Chun Maora cling to the bar hoping to get close with him. "You must help me, Big Brother! I didn't do it! There is someone framing me."
Chun Masaya stands in front of her unmoving. His gaze looks towards the woman, his sister whom he loves very much. He was dreaming of meeting her for a long time, but he never got the chance until today.
"Open the door, I want to get in."
The guard complied and unlocks the door. Chun Masaya walks to Chun Maora side and hugs the girl. Feeling the warmth from Chun Masaya, Chun Maora cried on his embrace.
"Big Brother, help me."
"Maora, do you know that I love you?"
Chun Maora is stunned, but she hurriedly nodded. She knows that and she has been using the feeling her brother had for her to gain an influential husband. Even if it means destroying another girl lives, she will do it to get a good life.
"If you do, why are you using me?"
"Big Brother knows that it's impossible," Chun Maora answered. She is disgusted by the feeling her brother had, but chooses to use it for her benefit. With that kind of feeling he had towards her, she will be able to use her brother to gain what she wanted. "Your sister wants to have a good life, so I ask for your help."
"I see."
"So can I go out from here?"
Chun Masaya looks down. He does love her long ago but that feeling has faded away with time and he's hurt by the fact that she knows about it, but preferred to use him instead. He is still a man with pride. Even if he does want to save her in account that she is his sister, he doesn't want to lose what he has.
"No, the proofs are all showing that you're the one who did it."
"But I didn't! You have to believe me brother," Chun Maora is desperate. She didn't do it. It's someone else who wants to trap her.
Chun Masaya looks towards his sister. "I know."
"Then? Can you help me?"
"I can't."
"Why?"
Chun Masaya didn't answer. He stood up and walked out the cell leaving Chun Maora still crying. No matter how loud Chun Maora calls for him, he never turns back.
"It's over," Chun Maora knows that her life from then on will never be the same. She has to live within this dark prison with many other prisoners. What had she done wrong in her scheme? Everything should have gone perfectly.
…
Chun Masaya returned home. He saw his wife standing behind the window calmly. He walks up to her and the woman is startled.
"Masaya? Don't you go to meet your sister?"
Chun Masaya nodded. "I have met her and put an end to that. There is nothing I could do for her anymore."
Chun Masaya wife stands unbelieving. Chun Masaya holds her into his arm. He had never gives this woman what she deserves all this year. Now that he had sorted out his feeling, he will gives it to her all of his feeling. She should have gotten them all this years.
"I won't leave you and our children."
She cried. Her wish has started to come true.
…
Lin Family Residence
Lin Tang never calms down anymore. Losing his wife, he keeps himself busy with his job and refuses to meet with his daughter and other wives. The atmosphere is gloom and the servants are all worried about making even the slightest sound. They're afraid that if they do, they will incur the wrath of Lin Tang unto them.
Lin San stayed by her room. The few past events have made her changed completely. She's no longer the previous innocent and arrogant girl. She didn't even bother to visit her father as she stays by her room quietly.
"Miss… it's time to eat."
Lin San raised her small head. Her eyes are filled with anger and hatred. She too cannot accept this change so quickly. She was previously the most pampered girl but now she doesn't have anything. The one who hold the highest authority is Concubine Mia because she's pregnant. For now, she didn't dare to do anything reckless, but after Lin Tang anger decreased she will definitely makes Lin San lives miserable.
Lin San no longer thinks about it. She knows that the quicker she reaches 15, the quicker she will be married away. Because of her status as the main wife daughter, she's the legitimate daughter and normally can have a good high status husband. But with her reputation as of now, how can she expect to have a good marriage prospect?
"There's only one year at most," Lin San murmured. In one year she will graduate from the academy but she had reached 15 at around the middle of her third year. Probably she will be married away but she no longer feels anxious.
"Miss?"
"If I cannot have a good backing, I will strive to get it by myself," Lin San said. Her eyes are filled with determination. She doesn't want to lose the battle.
"Just see, I won't be defeated!"
…
Jun Hua calmly read her book while hearing the report from Yasha. The decision of Chun Masaya is to continue to live with his wife and protect what he has. He knows that his sister never sees him in that way, so he chooses to give up and just cherish what he had.
"Miss, why are you being so soft hearted?" Xia doesn't understand. Why her Miss let them go and didn't make their life completely miserable.
Jun Hua raised her head. "The one who drives my mother is Chun Maora. I do hate her, but I would not personally send her to her doom. She's the one who carved her path and this is her retribution."
"Then, what about the others?"
"The others? I won't intervene with their lives and let them choose their own path," Jun Hua answered. "But if they want to use me or my family, I would surely retaliate."
"So, you're only defending?" Xia asked.
"Even without me personally do anything, they already have their enemies who will gladly drag them down. I'm not interested in ruining other people life, what I want is for my family to flourish," Jun Hua answered lightly. She is not that sick to celebrate when people is meeting their misfortune.
If that person had wronged her and her family, she will ask for certain compensation but not to the point destroying their life. The exception is always there, for people who make her life miserable, they should have expected that she would do the same to their life. If they take something important in her life, she too will surely retaliate towards them.
Jun Hua yawned. She's tired from watching and following those people. Now that she had manages to enact part of her revenge, she feels her burden lightened. As for their live from now on, she's not that diligent to watch for them and scheme against them. For her, this degree is enough.
Of course, it doesn't mean everything is over. There are still several people left.
