Chapter 69: Yuansheng’s Path

In the kitchen, Xue Dongting looked at Yuansheng, who was prancing about, and she shook her head. “You’re not a little girl anymore, can’t you settle down a bit?”

Yuansheng wasn’t having it. “Second Sis, you don’t understand, this is what’s called a genuine personality. Are you saying that only unmarried girls who are mincing are virtuous and proper?”

Xue Dongting thought of something and asked, “Then tell me, with your personality, who would be able to keep you under control?”

“I don’t want to be controlled, I want to control others.” She looked very pleased with herself.

Xue Dongting sighed inwardly, thinking, “In the future, if you go with a scholar, what will Mama Qiao say?”

“Yuansheng, do you want to go to the capital?”

Yuansheng nodded at once. “Yes, oh yes! Only… just now, Brother-in-law said the capital was no good, but I still want to go. I often think of it so much I keep feeling close to it, as if some important person is waiting for me there.”

Xue Dongting was suddenly alarmed. She recalled that strange dream and what that blue-clad scholar had said. He said there would be a man riding a donkey who would come and take someone away. Could that person be Yuansheng?

Yuansheng blinked her big, shimmering eyes. “Sis, what are you thinking about?”

Xue Dongting paused and collected herself and forced a smile. “Yuansheng, what kind of man do you like? Tell your Second Sister.”
