Lingxiao was lost in thought. A child, ignorant and oblivious, unable even to speak, knowing nothing of the world—just like that, the infant had been sent into the Marquis of Loyal Bravery Estate to Song Miaochun and Cheng Zanxin.
She had expected to feel exhilarated by having thwarted Song Miaochun. Yet, whether it was because there was something inherently wrong with her capacity for emotion, she found herself feeling… unsettled.
The child was bound by the karma of Song Miaochun; perhaps even without Lingxiao’s interference, the infant’s fate would have been a tragic one. Now, at the very least, there was a chance for survival. Lingxiao had caught a glimpse of the child from afar in the crowd—the baby had been crying loudly, filled with fear. The infant did not understand what kind of world this was; babies used tears to draw the attention of adults, to try to evoke human kindness, to express their emotions and needs.
