Chapter 9 (1/2)
Third
quarter of chou,
black clouds already covered the htly On the quiet streets, not a
single person could be seen
The serene
and hidden depth of darkness followed relentlessly spreading even further straight
ahead,down heavily on a person’s pit of the stomach
wang Yun
Feng felt his chest constrict unbearably, he weakly coughed twice Juan Shu
seized the wine cup from his hand: “Master, we should return”
Bai Yan
stood at the tavern threshold with one foot propped up, both arms crossed, she
jeered: “Don’t go back, just get a roo a beauty in
his dream”
wang Yun
Feng absent- Mei in his arms, not sure whether his
face was more red or white
Juan Shu at
the side was coy for a little white: “Master if you don’t like beautiful woman,
you
can hold Juan Shu in your arms”
Bai Yan
with a squeeze shattered the wine cup in his hand, holding the back of Juan
Shu’s neck, directly speaking to the bodyguard protecting in the dark: “Take
the master back to the residence”
wang Yun
Feng belched twice, in a daze he opened his eyes, looking in the direction of
the distant staircase, for quite soather a few
people to come back with me, the rest stay here and protect the mistress”
Juan Shu
eyes shone: “Then I will escort the master back to the residence, Bai Yan you
stay here to protect the mistress, ow!”
Bai Yan
punched Juan Shu in the head, gnashi+ng his teeth: “Do you still wish to
directly escort the master back to his bed?”
Juan Shu
shts bashfully,
“Actually,
I’ve been secretly in love withtime”
The secret
guards subconsciously soose pimples
Bai Yan
i the other directly roll through the
doorway and under the carriage: “You fool with your illusions, master is mine”
The secret
guards couldn’t help but roll their eyes, auto behind half of them
to protect Xia Ling Mei, the other half lifted the half intoxicated, half-awake
wang Yun Feng
into the carriage As Juan Shu and Bai Yan were chattering away
`striving for favour` they followed the dark road slowly heading into darkness
“Lady, Lord
wang has left” Xiu Yu retreated her head from the small crack in the ,
speaking to Xia Ling Mei as lying on the bed with her eyes closed like she
was asleep
Ying shi+
moved the only candle fla at Xia
Ling Mei’s flustered eyes as theyin the corners of her quilt: “It’s still early, we’ll leave again once Lord
wang gets a bit further away”
Xia Ling
Mei runt sort of noise, as if to accept the other’s reasoning
At noon,
she had thrown a huge tantru, she cursed him until her mouth
dried, the web between the thuer of her hand was also extremely
painful froh to
cal was already covered in
cuts and bruises on the verge of collapsing For a moment, she wasn’t sure if
she was happier or in more pain The two faced each other drearily for an
afternoon, without speaking again
wang Yun
Feng did not ask for a reasonable explanation to his harass Mei
also did not give an excuse for her rage
“I don’t
want to see you again” When she put her long whip down, she calmly said: “No
matter when, no matter where…this lifetime, we make a clean break from now”
At first,
she deliberately ignored his suffering, forcing e; that year, it was she
who neglected his desperation, turning away alone; now, it was also she, who
loathed his affection, determined to cut off all ties
Her heart
was already apathetic; it could not feel any pain
She could
only hide inside the very s herself
tightly,
relying on her own to hands to war down all the
tears
In the
first quarter mao,
Xia Ling Mei got up, she wore her clothes and cleaned her face alone, waiting
for the water clock to hit four ao”
Xiu Yu
said: “Do you need Hei Zi to lure Lord wang’s secret guards away?”
“No need” Xia
Ling Mei said, “This time, ill leave just and honourably”
Xiu Yu and
Ying shi+ glanced at each other, carrying their precious luggage, following Xia
Ling Mei out of the doors
The secret
guards of the wang family expressed sufficient suspicion and worry towards this
behaviour of their mistress as it was the first time she had run aithout
uards was already familiar with
Hei Zi these past years, noiselessly he ju the
other’s arm to ask: “Where does the mistress plan to run to this time?”
Xia Ling
Mei lifted her head, saying to the head of the guards hanging upside down on
the roof: “I’ve been to over half of Dayan’s lands, Xiao Bai Zi do you have any new
suggestions?”
The head of
the guards ---- Bai Zi, scratched his head: “There’s nothing worth suggesting,
as long as you don’t run off to a place where there isOtherwise my monthly paywould not arrive in my hands on time, the people
beneath me will become lazy”
Xia Ling
Mei asked without intention: “It’s been so many years, has your monthly pay
risen?”
Bai Zi
iuess he forgot”
“Yes, but
Hei Zi’s monthly pay has risen quite a lot, these few years it must have
doubled right”
Hei Zi
co life sacrificing
work, accepting the monthly pay of a farmer”
“No!” Bai
Zi cried out, “Then, do we need to first go and discuss about a rise in monthly
pay, before co back to protect the mistress?”
Hei Zi
generously slapped the other person: “Go, anye’ll leave behind a note for
you When you get a rise in monthly pay remember to immediately follow after,
treat your brother
to a drink”
The
kind-hearted, loyal, with the love of a sibling, the secret guard of Xia family
waved his hand, watching as the secret guards of the wang family ran into the
darkness one by one, taking large strides on their way, heading towards theirsplendidly, so simple minded
Xia Ling
Mei ed her forehead: “Bai Zi is still as foolish as before, our family’s
Hei Zi is as sinister as before” Hei Zi was e Mei
continued speaking: “I just now understood, I have never escaped from the
secret guards of the wang family all these years, it’s because there’s an
insider”
Hei Zi
simpered: “Lady spare me If Xiao Bai didn’t follow us, ould have been
eaten by those treacherous Jianghu people that not even our bones would
remain”
Bantering
for a while, Xia Ling Meion an already prepared
quick horse, she went the complete opposite direction of where Xiao Bai went
The streets
in theoutside of
rich family’s doorways, wherever one went it was all dusky Every now and then
you could see round likeacross the streets, followed by the
cries of cats, dogs whistling, acco of horse hooves on
