After Getting Abandoned, I Choose to Become the General's Wife

Chapter 192: The Self-Abased Mingxia

When Fang Ya returned home, she saw Mingxia standing guard at the door as if she was waiting for someone.

Fang Ya smiled in understanding. She walked to the courtyard door and asked, “Mingxia, were you waiting for me?”

Mingxia was stunned for a moment before she nodded shyly. “Yes! Sister, why are you so late?”

As Mingxia spoke, she was still trying to peer behind Fang Ya.

The smile on Fang Ya’s face deepened. “Stop looking! Your cousin didn’t come back with me.”

Mingxia’s face was obviously filled with disappointment.

Fang Ya comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll let him learn well over there. I won’t mistreat him.”

Mingxia looked at Fang Ya gratefully. “Sis! Thank you! Thank you so much!”

Fang Ya gently patted Mingxia’s arm and said, “I think He Kun will understand your feelings too.”

“Don’t worry, you’re still young. It’ll be good for you to learn more and see more of the world,” Fang Ya said earnestly.

Mingxia looked at Fang Ya with a half-understanding look. She did not know why Fang Ya’s words sounded so elderly.

Fang Ya held Mingxia’s arm and walked into the courtyard. “Have you thought about what you’re going to do in the future?”

“Future?” Mingxia looked at Fang Ya as if it was a foreign word.

“Yes! Future! After you have a family, when you get old…” Fang Ya gave Mingxia an even longer timeline.

Mingxia looked at Fang Ya with some confusion. “Sister, I haven’t thought about such distant things.”

Fang Ya smiled in understanding and pulled Ming Xia to the acacia tree.

The two of them sat on the stone bench under the tree. Fang Ya looked at Mingxia. “Mingxia, I want to ask you, what did you burn this morning?”

Mingxia was shocked. She had not expected Fang Ya to discover her secret.

She stammered for a long time but could not come up with a reason.

Fang Ya was not in a hurry. She waited quietly for Mingxia’s answer.

Mingxia hesitated for a long time before saying, “Actually, it’s a letter from my family.”

“Letter?” Fang Ya looked at Mingxia suspiciously.

Mingxia nodded and said, “My parents aren’t very good at reading, so they asked my cousin to write a letter and bring it to me.”

“Then you are…”Fang Ya looked at the obviously troubled expression on Mingxia’s face.

“Did the letter mention that you were going to get married?” Fang Ya guessed the contents of the letter.

“Do you really mind if your cousin knows about this?” Fang Ya speculated again.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. My parents don’t know either…” Mingxia said, her little face crying.

Fang Ya gently patted Mingxia’s hand. “Then why did you burn it?”

“I simply disagreed with it!” Mingxia smiled helplessly.

“He clearly knew my intentions, but he still brought the letter here.” Mingxia said, pouting her lips in anger.

Fang Ya seemed to know who Mingxia was talking about.

She looked at Mingxia, amused. After a while, she said, “He delivered the letter to you faithfully because he followed the basic principles of a scribe.”

“He is just being obedient,” Fang Ya said, as if trying to comfort Mingxia.

“Yes! I know too. I just think he is too honest!” Mingxia said unwillingly. “Or maybe he doesn’t care about me at all.”

Hearing Mingxia doubting herself again and again, Fang Ya sighed.

A little girl who came from the countryside with nothing would inevitably doubt herself.

This was also the most fundamental reason why Fang Ya wanted to help Mingxia.

Mingxia looked very shy. Although she got along well with Fang Ya’s family, she always revealed a hint of inferiority from time to time.

After the quarrel with Han Qiao the last time, Mingxia had even avoided Han Qiao whenever she saw him.

Fang Ya knew Mingxia was feeling regretful, but she did not know how to get her out this slump.
