Chapter 79: Chapter 42: The Roof with a Hole_2
It was actually he who left on his own. The sudden departure also relieved her of an urgent matter, and the words she spoke were not necessarily intended to elicit a response.
The ancient way of thinking could hardly comprehend her words. It was already extraordinary that she could express herself in this conservative ancient era without finding someone who understood her completely.
Although she preferred amicable partings to unhappy ones, things seldom went as one desired, so she decided to let it be.
She shook the purse in her hand, Gu Changsheng gathered her thoughts, her bright smile masking a touch of melancholy, “Yuan Bao, I’ve taken the silver, come as you go, go as you came.”
Eunuch Yuan Bao instinctively wanted to ask more, but seeing her lack of interest and realizing her martial arts surpassed his, he could only mumble and head toward the door.
“Hold on, come as you go, go as you came, walking out the door so conspicuously isn’t good for my reputation,” Gu Changsheng pointed at the large hole in the roof and then shook her head toward the doorway.
...
Eunuch Yuan Bao was internally distressed. His master had disappeared, and he urgently needed to search for him. Dark Camp was already in chaos; he had to quickly return and report.
Take a running start, gather energy, jump…
Gu Changsheng watched Eunuch Yuan Bao comically rush towards the roof three or four times before he barely managed to escape through the hole with the support of a beam, fleeing in panic. She shook her head unconsciously, “Such poor skills, no wonder the mighty Commandery Prince can be chased so miserably, surrounded by inept followers!”
Eunuch Yuan Bao didn’t realize that after he left, Gu Changsheng had defined them in such terms. He was currently anxiously following the signs left by his master and even sent a distress signal.
His master must not encounter any more incidents, or he wouldn’t survive!
That woman, she’s a disaster indeed!
If not for her, how could his master have ended up alone?
At that moment, Gu Changsheng sat in the empty, dilapidated bedroom, staring blankly at the bed in disarray.
Actually, she was very lonely.
Lost and aimless in Another World, with nowhere to belong and an uncertain future, no friends, no confidants, in this world, there was only her, living in the world but her heart was elsewhere.
She suddenly missed her grandfather terribly, the man of high stature who loved and cherished her to the utmost. She wondered whether he was doing well in that world.
In that instant, Gu Changsheng felt especially lonely, surrounded by silence. She didn’t know what she should do, or what she could do?
Folding her arms over her knees, Gu Changsheng slowly crouched down. She never allowed herself to be weak, nor to shed tears.
Crying is a sign of weakness, and weakness solves nothing.

Yet at this moment, she felt desolate. The pride that was etched into her bones, the arrogance that permeated her marrow, in this era, they had become burdens. She no longer had the standing to stand on top of the Pyramid, no grandfather to protect her, she didn’t even possess the right to pursue her happiness…
She’d adamantly stated her standards for choosing a partner, merely to avoid being oppressed by status.
She’d bluntly declared her origins, merely to avoid accepting the fate of women in this era.
A Commandery Prince could so easily tell her to stay with him, even if he had a thousand virtues, so what?
Her pride would not allow her to bow because of power; her arrogance would not allow her to bend because of a man.
Curled up into a small ball, her shoulders shaking slightly, could she allow herself a moment of indulgence at this moment?
Tears involuntarily slid down, dampening her clothes…
If she could choose, then she absolutely wanted to live freely!
Be it family feuds or any struggle, she didn’t want to wait aimlessly for others to indoctrinate or provide for her.
This was the first time she experienced what it means to truly live!
She was accustomed to living as she pleased. When had she ever been so confused, so passive?
She really missed home…
…
Han Qiu knocked on the door and received no response, so she entered only to come upon just such a scene.
Her master sat crouched on the ground, hugging her head, looking quite desolate with a large hole in the roof and the room in disarray.
What had happened in between, she didn’t know. She wasn’t very intelligent, at best she was just not foolish.
Facing this scene, she suddenly felt her usually carefree master appeared different today, the desolate mood easily affecting others, the trembling shoulders making her realize that the formidable woman she knew was just a facade.
No matter how strong she was, she was just a woman!
“My lady,” Han Qiu walked over, squatted slowly in front of Gu Changsheng, looking at her anxiously.
Gu Changsheng slowly raised her head, her eyes still slightly red, thinking about her earlier lapse and feeling a bit sheepish, she lifted her hand to wipe her face, her voice hoarse, “Han Qiu, am I very useless?”
Only useless people cry, only they long for home.
Han Qiu stared into her eyes for a moment, then suddenly stood up, pointing at the hole in the roof and asked indignantly, “My lady, did Prince Mu bully you? Wait here, I’m going to chase him down!”
A flash of bewilderment in Gu Changsheng’s eyes turned to realization. She quickly grabbed Han Qiu, who was about to draw her sword and rise, and explained hurriedly, “Oh, you girl, why are you so hot-headed? Am I so easily bullied?”
While speaking, she shook the purse in her hand, looking completely revived from her earlier despondence, and laughed excitedly, “Look, look at the silver, ah, I managed to bed that handsome man, didn’t have to pay, and he even ran off himself. There’s no better bargain in the world than this, Han Qiu, quickly, call Uncle Song, we need to fix the roof.”
