Chapter 79

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Yu Linglong did not expect that after being bored to death for several days, such a good thing would appear out of the blue .

With the approval of her mistress, Mama Cui naturally worked harder and promised Yu Linglong great things, just to make the Fourth Lady agree to pick up the old lady .

So Yu Linglong unceremoniously chose a full price, three thousand taels of silver, as if she were going to travel for a few days .

Mu s.h.i.+ quickly agreed to Yu Linglong’s conditions . She had probably seen right through her . She worked so hard to guard this family business for General Yu, and in the end, she just got a whipping in exchange for it . It was better to spend money to buy comfort .

So one pays the money and the other accepts it, and everyone is happy .

For some reason, Lord Xu hadn’t visited the Yu house to hara.s.s her these past few days . Yu Linglong finally had quiet for the time being, but the two girls, Xuan Cao and Ling’er, were hiding to the side and muttering about the non-events . Yu Linglong didn’t need to think to know what those two were talking about .

Love is…whatever!

After Yu Linglong learned that she was going to pick up Lady Yu, she suddenly remembered the horse that she had s.n.a.t.c.hed from Lord Xu . The way up the mountain should not be easy . She was not in the mood to sit in the wobbling sedan chair .

So, when the day came to pick up the old lady, Yu Linglong ordered Xuan Cao to stay home in Pinlan Garden and set off with Ling’er and a few maids .

She let Ling’er sit in the carriage that was prepared for Lady Yu, while Yu Linglong herself rode Zhuiyue, enjoying the scenery all the way, and went up the mountain in a good mood .

The place where Lady Yu was devoting herself was an inconspicuous temple outside the western suburbs of the capital . Starting from the city, it would take a long time to get there . Although Yu Linglong got up early, she arrived at mid-afternoon .

A mother who had come to send things to Lady Yu happily said to Yu Linglong: “Fourth Lady, this mountain is named Cuihua Mountain . It is said that the old ancestor Xihe became immortal here . Look over there, Fourth Lady . It is said that sometimes people can see magic breath lingering; it is really a treasure of Feng Shui . ”

Yu Linglong looked up and saw that the mountain was not very high . It was full of lush woods, and she felt relaxed and happy . If it was really a place for ancestors to cultivate immortality, it would be a bit interesting .

The road to the mountain was gentle, and Yu Linglong was not in a hurry . She walked slowly holding Zhuiyue’s reins . After Zhuiyue was in the manger in the backyard of the Yu Mansion for a long time, he suddenly saw the green mountains and green waters and was refreshed . He deliberately ran a few steps and drew a distance between the carriage that Ling’er and other maids were riding in, obviously disdaining to keep pace with the horses pulling the carriage .

It seems that people are like horses, and sometimes they need a little time alone .

Turning around a valley, Yu Linglong suddenly felt that something was wrong with her surroundings . The vigilance she had cultivated over the years had penetrated her bones and became an instinct for her . At this moment, there was a mountain breeze around her and the green gra.s.s was blowing in the breeze . She sensitively felt that there was someone nearby .

“Who’s there!?” With a sharp flick of her fluttering hair, Yu Linglong turned her head and looked back at the woods on the side of the road .

There was a soft sound, but she couldn’t tell if it was near or far . She didn’t know if it was the rustling of the leaves being blown by the mountain wind or the sound of animals being frightened off .

Yu Linglong squinted slightly, and in the leaf-covered jungle, there was a faintly visible figure that seemed to be vigorous, but she didn’t say a word, and they obviously didn’t intend to show themselves .

After a short pause, Yu Linglong gently kicked Zhuiyue, and he intuitively trotted along quietly, and they hurriedly left .

Maybe someone was doing shameful deeds here and she accidentally ran into them .

She understood the rules of the road: if others don’t offend me, I won’t offend them . Since the other party did not intend to make it difficult for her, she had better not be nosy .

In the small woods in the valley, it was quiet and there was no sound anymore .
