Capítulo 669: Chapter 680 Faint Future

```

Seeing Du Xintong yesterday and today, it seemed like both girls were contemplating their own futures. The thought of vying for one man's affection amongst a group of women in the estate made their expressions turn gloomy.

Lin Qianqing sighed, resting her head on her arm, "Actually, I'm quite envious of her. If I could exchange five years of hardship for a lifetime of peace and freedom, I would be willing."

Xie Qinyun poked her and said, "Get real. Don't we both know what our futures hold? Unless the imperial power falls or our families decline, even if we die in that estate, we'll never taste freedom. I've come to terms with it, which is why I never fantasize about freedom after marriage. I'm just making the most of my time now, having fun to my heart's content. Once my father and brother marry me off, I'll stay put and aim to be the top among those women."
