But the young man had seen it, he had seen many interesting things, and it seemed that he could tell her stories every day, and every day was a different story.

Louise was very happy. The people who faced her before went from being flattering to disgusting. It had been a long time since she had met someone who was so sincere and kind to her.

The two warmed to each other, and they spent three years like that.

Louise did not hide her ambitions in front of Zoe, but she did not completely believe Zoe. She did not let Zoe know that she was actually very smart and powerful, and was even thinking of ways to regain her identity.

After her parents are gone, she should be the one in charge.

She trusts Zoe, but doesn't completely trust her.

At that time, she wouldn't trust anyone.

Zoe had been friends with her for three years. When Louise was twelve and Zoe was fourteen, Zoe finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave.

His family is still waiting for him.

He told Louise that he was sorry, that he could no longer stay with her and that he wanted to go back and see his family.

Of course Louise would not ask him to stay.

At least, that boy has been with her for a long time.

However, she asked the young man how he wanted to go back.

Neither of them were allowed to go out, and that home was where they were imprisoned.

Zoe said he could climb the wall.

He said that he stayed with her because he thought Louise was lonely.

He had no friends since he was a child, and he was also very lonely. Before coming here, those people gave his family a lot of money, and he almost sold it.

However, he still misses his family.

Even if those people exchanged him for money.

He is ready to leave.

While Louise was thinking too much about his family, she also hoped that he could successfully return home.

However, the boy was discovered as soon as he started climbing the wall.

Of course those people would not let him leave, it was a joke, they were elegant and noble nobles outside.

What would others think of them if they knew they bought a boy with money and imprisoned him in their home?

The young man was stopped.

After that, those people often came to beat him.

Louise was too busy taking care of herself to help him.

When the boy first met Louise, his eyes were bright and full of hope for the future.

But now, he is no longer the young man before.

His eyes were full of despair and pain.

The boy and Louise had met frequently before, and everyone else knew about it.

They didn't care at that time.

However, since Zoe was discovered sneaking away, the two of them have been separated, and even meeting each other is a luxury.

Until one day, the girl who brought Zoe back came to Louise with a bright smile and told her that Zoe was dead.

From then on, Louise was really just herself in that family. She slowly got through it, until she became the heir, and now, she has become the person in charge.

…

"Actually, I think Zoe is stupid. His family has already sold him there, and even after he returns, those people may not want him."

"Maybe they will blame Zoe for sneaking home and send him back."

Louise smiled, "How silly."

Xi Yao pursed her lips, "Louise..."

Louise shook her head and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine, honey."

"I just feel it's a pity. He was my best friend at that time."

"I originally thought that after I gained rights, I could give him freedom."

"But, he simply can't wait until that time."

"I have no idea."

"There's nothing I can do, dear."

Louise said, her voice sounded like she was disgusted, but Xi Yao could hear her sadness.

Xi Yao patted her back gently, hugged her, and whispered to comfort her, "Don't be sad, Louise."

Actually, Xi Yao didn’t quite understand Zoe’s thoughts.

He was sold there by his family at the time, so he should have known that if he went back, the chance of a good outcome would be very low.

Moreover, the person who bought him back soon became uninterested in him, and he and Louise became friends.

It couldn't be easier for two people who were bullied in that family to become friends.

However, what Xi Yao doesn't understand is why it took three years for Zoe to escape?

Xi Yao has no such experience of being bought and sold, but she has the experience of being kidnapped.

At the beginning, she will try every means to escape.

And it won't be a long, long time.

Xi Yao felt that Zoe should have stayed voluntarily at that time.

The thought of escaping later was just a temporary thought.

"Actually, I learned later that what he was thinking at the time was that even if he didn't leave, those people would still treat him the same as before."

Zoe was treated much better than Louise during those three years.

At least no one would come to bully him every three days or deny him food.

"It would be even luckier if he could leave," Louise said.

"He's actually not smart."

"However, I accidentally discovered the words he left behind where Zoe was imprisoned."

Zoe wrote out her feelings and apologized to Louise.

When Louise was bullied, he almost always hid.

"Actually, for me, he is important, but not very important."

"However, he would secretly give me food, he would tell me many nice stories, and he knew a lot about the outside world. He was the only person who was friendly to me in those three years."

Louise smiled, "So, I still remember it fresh."

"I even want to ask him if he has any regrets."

"He could obviously be a transparent person in that family, with food and drink every day and no one to bully him. But in the third year after his death, I had the right to be free. Five years after his death, I became Heir."

"He can obviously wait. I told him my ambition, but he took what I said as my whim."

"So, he never got the chance to leave until he died."

"I went to see his grave not long ago."

"Those people just buried him in a random place. I carved the tombstone for him when I was sixteen years old."

"I told him, now, in that family, everyone must listen to me."

"But he's gone."

"It's really a pity, but there is nothing we can do."

Louise smiled and said, "He didn't find the right opportunity."

Xi Yao gently held her hand, "You can tell me that I am your friend, Louise. Even if Zoe is gone, you still have me."

"Louise, I'm so proud of you."

Louise smiled softly, "Thank you, dear."

"Actually, I don't think about Zoe very often anymore."
