NovelEnglishTransmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart
Chapter 1696 She Continued To Torture Herself
Ji'er decided to try her luck at Green Spear Mountain.
She had even made a set of bow and arrows for this purpose.
However, she discovered that there was not much wild game left to hunt outside the enclosure when she arrived. That was because hunters often came here and most of the prey had either been hunted or had escaped deeper into the mountains.
Ji'er had no choice but to go deeper into the mountains.
The three little beggars followed behind her at every step.
Meanwhile, in the imperial capital.
Long Yang was not present in the imperial capital and Long Yin was now in charge of the country as he took over imperial court duties temporarily.
The news of Ji'er running away from home had been locked down and no news about it had been revealed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat day at a villa in the suburbs near the imperial capital.
Ji Lingxiu had rushed to the villa after receiving a letter from a servant from the Duke Ji Mansion.
She thought something had happened to her older sister again, but the moment she entered the villa, she saw her sister sitting under a blooming tree, chatting happily with a servant.
It was the first time after so many years that she had seen her sister smile so happily.
While she was relieved about this, there were some questions on her mind.
Her sister was unable to walk and has been using a wheelchair for the past ten years or so. Her temperament had always been unstable because of this.
She would smash things or lash out and scream at the servants at home.
The entire mansion had an unhappy atmosphere because of Ji Linghui; her sister-in-law would often return to her natal home because she could not stand it, and it ended up causing a rift between her sister-in-law and older brother.
After her brother and sister-in-law had a child, her sister continued acting this way and her father had no choice but to send her away to the villa to recuperate quietly.
Even though they claimed that it was for her to recuperate, they did not skimp on the servants sent there to take care of her.
Despite the effort, her sister refused to stop and continued insulting and cursing Lu Liangwei.
It seemed like this was the only way for her to live through life.
After Ji Lingxiu got married and had her own family, she had less time for her sister than before.
However, her sister would still try to meet up with her every few days.
Ji Lingxiu would also willingly visit her sister when she was free.
Nevertheless, most of the time she would just listen to her sister curse at Lu Liangwei.
She was tired of this, but she was her sister, after all, and she could not ask her to shut up.
Ji Lingxiu thought she would continue to listen to those curses from her sister, but was surprised to see her sister acting differently from usual upon entering the villa.
She was relieved by this and walked over with a smile as she asked, "You look like you're in a good mood today, Big Sis. Did something good happen?"
"You're here, Xiuxiu." Ji Linghui pulled her hand, looking sincerely happy.

In the past decade or so, her sister, who had always looked lovely, was now aged and no longer the beauty she used to be.
Her sister was actually relatively young but her skin and mental condition were worse than others of the same age.
Moreover, her sister was a troubled person who looked exceptionally thin and haggard. Despite still being young, her face was filled with wrinkles.
Ji Lingxiu sighed in her heart.
So many years had gone by and her big sister still could not let it go. She continued to torture herself and lived so unhappily.
What was the point of it all?
Take Ji Lingxiu for example. She used to like Lu Tingchen a lot, but his heart did not belong to her. It was pointless no matter how much she wanted to be with him. It was only by letting go that she was able to live a better life.
Ji Lingxiu led a fairly happy life right now. Even though her husband was not a well-known person, he treated her very well and they had a son and a daughter together. She was happy and content with her life.
All she wanted was for her older sister to let things go and find happiness, especially when she saw what a depressing life Ji Linghui was living.
"Big Sis, you should stop thinking about the past. We should always look forward in life," she said softly.
The look on Ji Linghui's face changed when she heard this. The smile on her face vanished as she pushed Ji Lingxiu away. "Ji Lingxiu, do you think that you're living a happy life right now?"
