Chapter 050 – Hiding From The Lady! (2/2)

“Mum—”

“Fine, go to the study to find him then. As soon as he came back he headed into the study and did not even say a few words to me. Well, I can't count on you men at all, only Xiaoxin is considerate, unfortunately she has to go back, I don't know how to live the rest of my days———”

Yan Xiangma came over and hugged his mother, then grabbed the tangerine on the table and said: “Mum, eat some fruit. ”

“You brat, you want to block my mouth with fruit, right? ”

Yan Xiangma stood at the door of his father's study, but then hesitated to push open the door.

Finally, he just gave up, and walked towards the West Wing.

Yan Xiangma gently knocked on the dark door; the door was then pulled open from the inside. Cui Xiaoxin stood at the door dressed in a white nightgown; without makeup she still looked beautiful and elegant. She glanced at Yan Xiangma and asked: “Cousin, it's so late—–what is it? ”

“I heard——-” Yan Xiangma showed a bitter smile then continued: “I'm going to Tiandu with you.

Cui Xiaoxin looked pensively at Yan Xiangma and asked: “Cousin you don't want to come? ”

“On the contrary. “Yan Xiangma said with a firm expression: “I can't wait. ”

Tiandu. Lu Mansion.

A woman wearing a dark purple dress embroidered with large Begonia sat on a stool by the window. Her facial features are like a painting and she has an elegant demeanour, looking gentle like the spring water.

On the left hand side of the woman was a small table with a brown leather bag on top, the bag was just sent over by a waitress and contained some doc.u.ments.

She had read each word contained in the doc.u.ments very seriously, so much so that after reading she used her fingers to carefully touch each word. Even until now the astounded feeling she felt is still difficult to put into words.

After calming down her mood, she then carried the bags and walked toward the front yard.

Inside the yard are office buildings, rock gardens, ponds and pavilions; each step there is countless beautiful sceneries. But the woman just looked up at the path and was not even distracted in the slightest.

The woman came to a stop in front of a cla.s.sical building; on the building are three elegant characters 'Ill.u.s.trious Virtue building'. The person who wrote these letters was Chu Xianda, the current monarch of the West Wind Kingdom.

At the entrance of the small building, there were men wearing ordinary green garments guarding outside but they displayed an imposing manner. Inside,were even more guards.

Seeing the woman coming over, the two men wearing green s.h.i.+rt bowed and greeted her at the same time.

“Welcome Madam.”

The woman smiled slightly at them, then asked with a smiling face: “Where is Qingming? ”

“The Governor's is working in the study.” The bearded man Yue Feilong replied with a smile. “Do you want me to go in and report? ”

“No need to trouble you two generals. “The woman declined, her smile was gentle and charming, but gave an unquestionable toughness. “I'll head inside myself. ”

Yue Feilong wanted to stop her but was pulled back by the lean man next to him.

“Why? I can't go in? ” The woman was still smiling, but her smile showed a little hint of danger.

Li Pingan hoped to smooth things over and said: “Feilong is afraid the governor will be disturbed when he's dealing with matters of the state. However, since the lady wants to see the Governor, then of course you can do so anytime; we don't dare to stop you——–”

The woman nodded and walked towards the building.

After the lady had walked away, Yue Feilong complained in a low voice: “Old Li, you forgot what the Governor said? He said he wants to focus on work, no one is allowed to come in. ”

“How would I not remember the Governor's words? But old Li——you're unclear of the situation, are you not aware of the Governor and the lady relations.h.i.+p? Husband and wife wants to have a little reunion; the Lady wanted to surprise the Governor, what are you doing getting between them? “Li Pingan said with a smile.

“Old Li, I think the Governor's order is intended for the Lady———” Yue Feilong glanced around the surroundings and whispered. “He hoped that we would stop the lady from coming in. ”

“How is that possible? “Li Pingan is shocked. “Why would you have that suspicion? Could it be that the Governor——is having an affair? ”

“Li Pingan, you old military lump, if you continue to tarnish the Governor's good name, I will draw out my sword and fight you with all might—–Are you not aware of the Governor's character? How would he be unfaithful to the Lady? I was just suspicious——-have you not noticed? Recently the Governor has been busy attending social events during the day and when he returns at night he immediately heads into the study —–I feel that the Governor is hiding from the Lady————–”

“Now that you mention it——–yesterday the Governor had finished his matters earlier in the day, but he suddenly said he wanted to eat dim sum at Fu lai restaurant, then he brought us all to Fu lai restaurant and we spent an afternoon there——Before, when he returns, does he not hurry into the courtyard? ”

“I heard that after men reach a certain age, their capacity will decline——-Do you think the Governor is not capable in that aspect, so he's avoiding the Lady on purpose? ”

Ack!

Yue Feilong drew out his sword and shouted in an angry voice: “Li Pingan, do you want me to sever your dog head with my sword?”
