7 An sImportants Matter (1/2)

At nightfall Madam Lin went back to reading reports in the study. There were a few reports sent from Xi Zhou and even Bei Li. Most of them were about the political situation of these countries, there were some on the daily lives of the top ranking officials. Although they did not interfere with the outside world, it did not mean they were ignorant of what was going on in the outside world. They had a web of influence that gathered information from every place in the world.

Madam Lin stopped at a particular report once she had finished reading, she could not help but silently smile, as she read.

She called for Feng Yun, silently chuckling to herself.

When Feng Yun entered, he was dressed as she normally would. Completely in blood red. Madam Lin sometimes wondered why the girl liked this color so much, was she a young woman who felt aggrieved and never tot to experience her wedding day like the girls her age, or did she have another story?

Feng Yun never touched upon the topic, so she had never brought it up.

”Madam, is there any matters?” Feng Yun asked in her calm voice.

”Yes, there is a matter, in two days, you will return to the white clouds mountains.” Madam Lin said. By now, she had long ceased her chuckles, and regained her serious composure.

”Un. Should I go right now?” Feng Yun wondered.

[Why two days?

This is oddly specific.]

”No, no, you should not go now.” Madam Lin said suddenly, as she pulled Feng Yun's red sleave.
