When Gong Ruini thought about how she was once so close to the treasure, so close to taking it all, she felt utterly disheartened.
Last time, when she found out the treasure was gone, she was a bit disappointed, but not too much. She just thought maybe the treasure had long been dug up by someone else.
Now that she knows it might have only been a few months to maybe a year before someone got to it, how could Gong Ruini not feel all sorts of regret?
"If only I had discovered it earlier, I could have dug it up myself."
That wasn't a small amount but a huge fortune. How could someone like Gong Ruini, constantly dreaming of striking it rich, not feel all sorts of regret and frustration?
"Alas, heaven is being a bit too harsh on me." Gong Ruini felt down and couldn't even focus on reading, practicing her calligraphy, or painting.
After finishing her chores, Cai Meina noticed something was off with her daughter, "Ni Zi, what's wrong with you?"
