And suddenly some inferiority.
It wasn’t until she saw Bei Lingsu that she truly understood the meaning behind the saying, “Women are made of water.”
Bei Lingsu was like water, dressed in a beautiful, flowing white garment, possessing unparalleled lightness in her movements, skilled in medicine and detoxification, and also possessing a pure innocence. She gave off the feeling of a pond of crystal-clear water, pure and flawless.
And what about her?
She was beautiful indeed, but she belonged to the manor, dealing daily with the land and livestock, and always carrying a scent of cooking oil on her.
Though she too had strengths unlike ordinary people, her great physical strength was such a useless skill. Bei Lingsu’s lightness was even better than Tong Sanlang’s; she must look beautiful when flying, surely like a fairy drifting in the air.
And what about her great strength?
When it came to great strength, people would probably first think of a tall and robust strongman, right…?
What’s the use of being beautiful?
At her core, she was just a village girl with extraordinary strength and a strong country air about her, a chef covered in the smell of cooking oil.
Turbidity.
All that lingered around her was turbidity.
Bei Lingsu was agile and graceful, while she was surrounded by impurity.
Standing next to Bei Lingsu, she was like a lump of dense, murky ash against Bei Lingsu’s pure and spotless cloud.
She had never had high ambitions and was quite content with her current state, but it was only after seeing Bei Lingsu that she realized the disparity.
Both women, yet the difference was so vast.
If she were like Bei Lingsu, would Tong Sanlang give her a clear answer right then and there?
If she were like Bei Lingsu, the more she gave, the more Tong Sanlang would give back, right?
Thinking of the hardships of traveling and living rough for over a month, and the anxiety, fear, and unease, her nose tingled, and her eyes warmed as mist began to form within them.
The mist blurred her vision; she bit her lip, trying to fight back the tears.
Just then, the voice of the Zhang Family resounded in the courtyard, “Miss Bei, Miss Bei, are you there?”
Despite having maids to attend to her in her room, she always preferred to call for Bei Lingsu herself.
Bei Lingsu had been eating all along, not even budging when Yang Ye made his sudden exit, but upon hearing the Zhang Family’s call, she reluctantly stood up, “I’m here!”
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang quickly got to his feet, “Miss Bei, you eat your breakfast, I’ll go over and have a look.”
At his words, Bei Lingsu sat down immediately, her eyes sticking to the food once more, eating less at one meal meant more at another, she intended to eat as much as possible.
Tong Sanlang went to the Zhang Family’s room and asked, “Miss Bei is having breakfast, what’s the matter?”
The Zhang Family was also eating breakfast; she was now blind and disabled, and Tong Sanlang had hired four maids to attend to her.
She was finally living a life where she had everything handed to her.
“What happened just now? Did that wretch try to drive you away?” she asked.
Her ears weren’t deaf; she had heard the commotion in the courtyard earlier.
“It’s nothing,” Tong Sanlang said, his already grim expression darkening further at the mention of the incident, “If it’s nothing, I’ll be going out. I still have to discuss with His Highness about surrounding and suppressing the Tianlong Gang.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. After Miss Bei finishes her breakfast, let her come and look at my eyes,” the Zhang Family instructed.
Tong Sanlang grunted affirmatively and left.
Returning to the dining table, he mentioned the matter to Bei Lingsu, who nodded while chewing her food, “Okay.”
Yang Ye watched her eat as if she were a starving ghost reincarnated, tutting to himself, even more exaggerated than him.
“Miss Bei, your lightness is better than Tong Sanlang’s, isn’t it?” he asked.
“When running away, it might be a little quicker than Master Tong,” Bei Lingsu replied.
