Chapter 79: If Fate has it, We Will Meet Again (1/2)
Early next morning, Bai Luochu woke up before the birds started chirping. This time, she wasn’t in a hurry to cultivate as she was packing up the things that she was going to bring along with her. When she took all her stuff, she realized that apart from some silver notes and some medical equipment, there wasn’t anything left.
Bai Luochu couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed like the First Prince’s residence was going to be a mere fragment in her memory.
After Bai Luochu packed up, she waited in the room for Zi Su. This servant girl was used to the routine and should be entering to help her with grooming soon. After waiting for some time, Bau Luochu realized that Zi Su wasn’t there yet. She couldn’t sit any longer and prepared to personally look for Zi Su. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zi Su carrying her things as she waited at the entrance. Her eyes were a little red and swollen and it was obvious that she was crying before she slept yesterday.
“Did the First Prince reprimand you?” When Bai Luochu saw that Zi Su’s eyes were swollen, Bai Luochu thought she had done something wrong to make Pei Rumo scold Zi Su.
When Zi Su saw how Bai Luochu was worried about her, she was astonished. A smile slowly appeared on her face. She shook her head and explained, “His Highness never reprimands this servant. After this servant heard that the Young Lady was leaving, I felt a little reluctant and... I have made Young Lady worried.”
All of a sudden, Bai Luochu was at a loss of what to do and she didn’t know how to console Zi Su. She could only ask Zi Su to enter the room.
“Young Lady is going to leave today?” When Zi Su saw that the things in the chamber were already packed, she was surprised.
“En, the general's residence… has plenty of things waiting for me to do.” Bai Luochu stuttered. She was initially in a hurry to kill her way back to the general's residence to take over as the head of the clan. She forgot about this little servant girl, Zi Su.
“Young Lady… aren’t you reluctant to part with this place?” Zi Su turned around and asked with tears forming in the corner of her eye.
Bai Luochu let out a long sigh. She was a decisive person and was a genius in both cultivation and medicine. She was only lacking when it came to handling emotional matters. She didn’t know how to console Zi Su and had no choice but to be frank with her. “The general's residence is now being occupied by nasty people. That is my home and I am going to take it back. This is my responsibility and it is something I must do. Zi Su, do you understand where I am coming from?”
When Bai Luochu was speaking, her voice trembled a little bit when she got the end as she thought about the temple. Just like the general’s residence, the temple was also once her home.
When she thought about it, the situation of the general’s residence was similar to that of the temple.
After Bai Luochu spoke, the room fell into silence and no one spoke for a moment. The only sounds were the splashing of water as she rinsed her mouth and cleaned her face. There was also the sound of fabric rubbing against her skin as she wore her clothes.
After getting ready for the day, Bai Luochu decided to depart for the general’s residence.
Just as she stepped out of the room, she heard Zi Su calling out to her.
“Young Lady!” When Zi Su saw Bai Luochu turning back, she immediately bowed deeply towards Bai Luochu and said, “Since Young Lady told this servant the truth about your return to the general's residence, this servant will take it as Young Lady accepts the fact that I am one of your people. It is truly a fortunate thing to be able to get to know Young Lady and even live with you for more than a month.”
