vanced age and missing eye, he was actually very adroit.

He unspooled the rope and held one end, telling Lu Junming to feed the other end down to her.
Lu Junming went down as well to take her back up, while ZHong Cheng and Dagan helped pull the two of them back up.

Mo Yan sat there, not daring to look.
Mrs.
Liang had recovered from her coughing fit and rushed over, asking, “Is it Mo Ling?”

Mo Yan nodded her head.
She also sat there and broke down, “If only you could’ve sorted it through and decided not to jump! That Mr.
Tian didn’t really like you, he didn’t treat you well at all.
The dowry I asked for was just a test, so he wouldn’t take advantage of you…”

Zhong Cheng turned back and said, “Mrs.
Liang, don’t talk about this now!”

Mrs.
Liang slumped her head while drying her eyes.

That was when the people heaving on the rope pulled Mo Ling up, with the rope on her waist.
Lu Junming supported her from behind.

The well wasn’t deep, and someone in as good shape as Lu Junming could get back up without needing to use rope at all.

Zhong Cheng set her down, and Sir Lu untied the rope.
Lu Junming climbed back up, his white robe stained by the algae on the well.

Mo Ling didn’t have her head under the water and was just soaked by it.
The well’s water was cold, and she was so freezing her lips turned purple.

Zhong Cheng carried her back to her home, and Mrs.
Liang hurriedly followed after her.
When they arrived, Mrs.
Zhang stood at her home’s entrance and only went in when she saw them.

Mo Yan didn’t follow and sat by the pond blankly.
Lu Junming sat in front of her, “Don’t worry, your sister’s safe and sound now.
You got quite a scare!”

She looked at him with reddened eyes, “Lu Junming, do women have to die if their name is ruined?”

Lu Junming shook his head, “People should live for themselves and the people they care about.
My mum kept living after being insulted and taunted because of me.”

He pulled Mo Yan up and asked, “Do you want to go to mine for a bit? Your home will be pretty chaotic for quite some time.”

“It’s fine, I want to go back home to see her.”

When she returned home, Zhong Cheng stood in the courtyard not knowing what to do.
Mo Yan said, “Brother Cheng, go back first! Sis probably doesn’t want to see anyone right now.”

Zhong Cheng nodded his head and left, and Mrs.
Liang went to the kitchen from her room.
Sounds of chopping came out from the kitchen.
Mo Yan went in and saw her chopping ginger.
As she was making ginger soup for Mo Ling, she hurriedly started boiling the water.

Mrs.
Liang only thought about Zhong Cheng after seeing the two baskets of duck eggs in the kitchen.
After knowing he went back from Mo Yan, she sighed, “I’m afraid he won’t be coming back anytime soon!”

In the Zhang family, Dagan was yelling, “Mum, this is your fault.
You almost killed a person!”

Mrs.
Zhang was eating while saying, “Just you wait! She’ll be begging for you to marry Mo Ling any day soon.
You won’t even have to pay a single silver tael!”

“I’m not doing something that despicable!”

“It’s not my fault she got interested in Mr.
Tian! I didn’t make that up!”

Post-edit notes: This is probably common knowledge, but if you’re having suicidal thoughts, please contact a suicide prevention hotline.
Your life is still worth living.

On a slightly more upbeat note because this is a little too much doom and gloom, I really hate Mrs.
Zhang right now and want her to get her comeuppance.
