Chapter 1553
Regarding Zi Yue's passing, Xia Ruqing felt as if her heart was being cut.
Several times she nearly fainted from crying, but she kept murmuring.
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"
"I harmed her, I didn't care for her. She was beside me every day, yet I didn't notice her illness!"
"I'm not a competent mistress, I've failed her!"
Despite being called mistress and servant, their relationship had long surpassed such, more akin to family.
The person who stayed with her the longest besides Zhao Junyao was Zi Yue.
From the beginning as mistress and servant, to later becoming sisters, and now beyond sisters, like family or even her right hand.
She never thought that she would one day lose her.
Like losing a limb, it was simply unimaginable.
Yet...
As unbelievable as it might be, the day came, despite her having long forgotten it would.
"Mistress!"
Zi Ning comforted her as she lay by the bed.
