11 Ruan Qinwang Manor (1/2)

With Feng Yun gone, Madam Lin was left alone. She slightly dozes off for a stick of incense's worth of time, gently sleeping off her intoxicated state before she came to.

She could not remember a time since she was sixteen when Feng Yun was not accompanying her. She thought she would have a sister that she would grow old with, someone that would be with her through all the stages of life. She knew that she would only be a small moment in that girl's life. She understood why Feng Yun would choose to stay away from relationships.

She then thought of herself for a moment.

She whispered two words: ”Wen Jian.”

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared next to her. It was a man dressed in black, he had very common features, with slightly thick lips and messy eyebrows, he would not be easily noticed in a crowd. ”Do you have any orders, madam?” The man asks respectfully.

”Prepare a carriage, I want to go for a ride around the city.”

”Yes, Madam.” The man says as he retreats without saying another word.

Moments later, a seemingly ordinary carriage comes through the mansion's grand gates. It was strange to see such a plain carriage come out from a mansion that had such beauty to it. If this were to happen during the day, it would most likely draw the attention of many.

Fortunately, the streets were mostly deserted and no one really paid attention to the plain carriage, nor the man who could not be easily spotted in a crowd driving it. The sound of the horses' hooves could be heard as it made its way down the streets of the capital.

”May I ask where madam wishes to go?” The man who was driving the carriage asks.

”Ruan Qinwang manor.” The cold voice sounds from inside the carriage.

The man does not say anything and continues driving the carriage in the silence brought on by the cold night.

Madam Lin's identity was no secret to those within the clan. They all knew that she was once the proper consort of Ruan Qinwang, they all knew how she had ended up being one of them.
