Chapter 671 - Market visit I (1/2)

Zhao Ming stared at Shen Jia waiting for her response. She tried hefromr best to make sense from her words. She stared at her with her eyes wide and was looking like a puppy who was waiting for his master to give them snacks.

Shen Jia sighed and stayed silent for some time, thinking about something. Her forehead creased as she said, ” There should be another hairpin. The curse has been passed on from generation to generation, it was not your only life where you are experiencing the wrath of the curse. You were adorned with that cursed hairpin in every life, so just like Zhao Ming has in your world, you should have one in this world as well. It cannot disappear with Zhao Ming after going to the other world. There should be another hairpin in this world that you need to find.”

”After finding it, you both need to burn it at the same time and that too after knowing all your past events and the reason you have been cursed. After redeeming and praying for the sins you have done, you both can live in peace and choose the life that you want to live in.”

Shen Jia stared at Zhao Ming who was trying to settle things in her mind.

” So we need to remember all our past events first and then burn that thing? We can't do that before knowing everything?”

Shen Jia shook her head and said, ” If you did that, then you will be only burning the thing and not the curse. The curse could only be carried off after redeeming for your sins and pray for the betterment of the future. You need to know your sins before apologizing for them.”

Zhao Ming nodded hoping to understand everything right. Even though everything was too complicated, however, she has no choice other than agreeing to it.

” You should try finding the truth of that night when Zhao Ming fell into the pond. Maybe you will find out the hairpin as well. ” Shen Jia picked up her cup and took a sip of her tea while staring at Zhao Ming who was in a daze.

Zhao Ming took a deep breath and nodded. She has so much work to get done in these remaining two months.

'Sigh'.

…..

After meeting Shen Jia, she dressed up and got ready to go out. Today she has planned to go out with Consort Jia Shi to visit the local market where they are selling the items made by the other consorts.

The stall was managed by one of the workers who work for the palace. Lu shi and Jia shi's maid and a few guards were going with them. It was the afternoon time but in winter, it was the best time to arrange the stalls and they will be working till the sunsets.

After the sun sets, the stalls start to close because there are very few people who roam on the streets to buy things at night in winter.

She went to the main gate of the palace where Jia shi and her maid were already waiting for her. The horse carriage was already prepared and guards were waiting for them to depart.

Just as they were about to board the carriage, Zhao Ming heard a voice, ” You haven't left yet?”

She turned around and saw Ji Cheng walking towards them with Feng Ju following him.

She raised her brows and nodded, ” Yes. We were just about to leave. Seems like His Majesty is going somewhere.” she asked sarcastically.

He smiled and responded to Jia Shi's greeting with a nod. His hands were folded behind as he stared at Zhao Ming and said, ” Yes. I am accompanying you to the market.”
