Chapter 296: Eternal Night Star River
"Weiwei, Tingfeng's behavior today must be because he was deceived by the piano music. Don't take it to heart."
"His love for you is evident to all."
Zhuang Yuheng hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke a little abruptly, because Song Weichen had been acting too normal since he woke up, and seemed interested in everything. He even insisted on dragging him out for a night stroll in the mansion regardless of how late it was.
The more she did this, the more worried he became.
"The sun and the moon can learn from each other."
Song Weichen smiled and repeated Zhuang Yuheng's words. At this time, night fell, the stars were bright, and the Milky Way in the sky was clearly visible.
"Look, but there is no moon tonight."
When Song Weichen said this, her eyes dimmed for a moment, then brightened again. She raised her hand and pointed at a bright star in the sky.
"That's the North Star, right?"
"Ah."
Zhuang Yuheng gently moved her finger a foot to the side.
"Do you know the star next to this spoon handle pointing to the North Star? This is the Big Dipper. My name, Yuheng, is taken from the third star of the Big Dipper. In the Mei Realm, people with immortal records cannot be given names casually. They must be named according to the immortal record. Therefore, my name and Mianmian's are both star names."
Song Weichen raised his hand to answer the question.
"I know, I know. Yuheng Star is also called Lianzhen Star. It is the brightest star among the Big Dipper. It takes 83 years for its light to reach the earth."
Her mind was stirring, and she suddenly remembered a long time ago, when a male classmate in high school stood under the starry sky and told her a story about stars. She was young at that time and didn't understand his meaning. Thinking back now, Song Weichen suddenly realized that the boy was confessing his love to her. It was really terrible to realize things so late.
"Someone once told me that because it takes time for light to travel to the earth, the North Star we see now is 433 years old."
"He said that if two people stand under the starry sky and look at the North Star together, they will receive a blessing from 433 years ago. Human life is so short, and being able to receive blessings from the universe hundreds of years ago together is called eternity."
This was the first time Zhuang Yuheng heard this statement. He found it fresh and new. Song Weichen always had some novel theories in her little head, which made him unconsciously want to stay with her all the time.
"Well, now that we have watched the North Star together, we can also protect eternity together."
"Well..."
Song Weichen smiled faintly and gently nudged Zhuang Yuheng's arm with his shoulder.
"Jun Yuheng is a supreme god. Hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye for you. How can you compare with a mortal like me?"
"In fact, I think that person's statement is inaccurate. From a pessimistic point of view, the brightness of the North Star we see at the moment is just an illusion. No matter how bright it is, it happened in the past, not now."
"It's like a person who you think loves you, but it's actually an illusion. His love happened 433 years ago, but now you can still see the light from that time, and you mistakenly think that the light is shining for you. In the end, it's just deceiving yourself."
……
Zhuang Yuheng knew what Song Weichen was talking about - she naturally believed that all of Mo Tingfeng's ambiguous actions towards Qin Xueying were not from his heart, and he must have been bewitched.
But what she feared and hesitated about was who was the person who could bewitch Mo Tingfeng? Was it Sang Pu or Song Weichen?
She didn't even have the courage to seek an answer because there was a high probability that she would lose.
Song Weichen was afraid that all the love she felt from Mo Tingfeng was actually an illusion, coming from the star called "Mo Tingfeng" a thousand years ago - and in the real present, the place where that star was was actually a black hole.
But you can't say that he is insincere. After all, if you look up, the star is still shining brightly above your head.
……
"slight……"
Zhuang Yuheng wanted to comfort her, but couldn't find the right words to do so.
At that time, Song Weichen encountered danger in the Well of Time, and Mo Tingfeng used his thousand-year-old love for Sang Pu as a wick to guide him - he had obviously made his choice.
But Zhuang Yuheng could not forgive her for this incident. Logically, after that incident, Mo Tingfeng would have forgotten Sang Pu completely after a thousand years of love. However, this was not the case. He always remembered her, and remembered her very clearly.
In addition, with Song Weichen's theory of starlight afterimages today, Zhuang Yuheng also hesitated. He couldn't go against his will to vouch for Mo Tingfeng. ...
"Weiwei, do you want me to call Tingfeng over? Give him a chance to explain. Don't worry about it."
"Need not."
Song Weichen took a deep breath of the evening air with the scent of magnolia and suppressed the chaotic emotions in her mind - she was a dying person, so what was there for her to care about?
Even if she doesn't die, after the Qixi Festival, the love-cutting ban on Mo Tingfeng will be lifted and he will never remember her again. They are destined to have no future, so why should she care?
"I'm fine. Why would I argue with my past life? I'm just being too hypocritical."
"Boss Mo has a lot of things to deal with, and I shouldn't distract him because of such a trivial emotional matter."
"It's just that... today when I played the Heart-Confusing Harp, everything became very strange. Brother Yuheng, please send me back tomorrow. I want to consult the Princess in person."
Song Weichen didn't know that many things happened after Zhuang Yuheng took her away from Sichen Mansion, including Mo Tingfeng angrily beheading Qin Xueying and breaking Huo Xinqin with a sword, the eldest princess leaving the mansion with Ruan Mianmian, Du Juan hanging herself and turning into a blood puppet, and a traitor appearing in Sichen Mansion, etc.
Not even Zhuang Yuheng knew.
Every time Mo Tingfeng sent him a message, he only asked about Song Weichen's health and didn't mention anything else. So he was also concerned about the Heart-Confusing Harp. The big demon that appeared in the illusion was his lingering nightmare. He didn't understand why he saw him in the music that solved doubts and purified the mind. They agreed to return to Si Chen's house the next morning.
……
As the two were talking, two figures came running hurriedly from a distance.
In a flash, a figure was approaching. It turned out to be Zhuang Yuheng's personal maid Qingyun, who came running with an unfamiliar nanny. Judging from her speed and skills, the nanny had the magical powers of at least a Class C sorcerer.
When the nanny saw Zhuang Yuheng, she didn't care that Song Weichen was still beside her, and she walked forward and bowed deeply.
.
"Lord Sikong, please save the young lady!"
"Mianmian? What happened to her?"
"Mei Niang, get up and talk."
Zhuang Yuheng glanced at Qingyun and motioned for her to help the nanny up.
She looked to be around fifty years old, but since she was a practitioner, her actual age could not be determined, so she was probably over a thousand years old. She had dark skin, a medium build, and a slightly plump figure. Although she looked middle-aged, her hair was black without a single gray hair, and she looked as healthy as a young person.
It should be said that Song Weichen could only envy Ma's healthy and strong physique.
She is Huamei, the personal maid of the mistress of the Ruan family and Ruan Mianmian's biological mother.
She had followed Mother Ruan for a lifetime and held a very high position among all the followers in the Ruan Mansion. Even the illegitimate sons had to give her some respect. Naturally, Zhuang Yuheng knew her.
"Isn't Mianmian temporarily staying at Sikong Mansion with the Princess? What happened to her?"
He spoke in a flat tone, subconsciously thinking that it was Ruan Mianmian who was causing trouble again, and this time she even brought the old nanny out to help, which was really getting more and more outrageous.
Mei Niang shook her head eagerly to deny it.
"Your Excellency may not know that the young lady was sent back to the palace by the eldest princess at noon today."
"I later learned that the young lady did not return to her room immediately after returning home, but went to the pavilion in the backyard to chat with her mother. During this time, the young lady's personal maid Du Juan also came back, but she did not come with the young lady, but walked back by herself. She was wearing a red dress, barefoot, and did not speak to anyone. She lowered her head and went back to the young lady's room by herself."
"In the evening, I was ordered by the mistress to take care of the young lady for a while because her personal maid died in an accident. At that time, I had not received the news that Du Juan had returned home, and I didn't know that there was something fishy going on. So I went to the young lady's courtyard as ordered."
"At that time, the young lady's door was tightly closed. I thought she was resting, so I didn't disturb her. I just stood outside the door. I didn't realize something was wrong until sunset when I didn't see the young lady get up."
Mei Niang knelt down again and kowtowed heavily to Zhuang Yuheng.
"Master, please save the young lady. She is missing!"
