Chapter 477 The Young Lady at the Back of Pegasus (1/2)
The reason why Lei Nuo sent people to take him back to the residence was due to his curiosity about Shen Lian. When he got back to the backyard, he heard his wife, Si Jiang was raging. Back in the palace, Si Jiang's temper was already exceptionally bad. Now that she got married to Lei Nuo, due to her elite status, Lei Nuo was always being scolded.
However, she was really a great beauty. It was difficult to find any lady that was prettier than her in the royal family. Her features were delicate, she had a pair of phoenix eyes with royal family's elegance. Her figure was also attractive. Aside from her meanness, there was almost flawless.
As for why Si Jiang got angry was because of the fact that her daughter was missing again. The servants were useless because they could not even take care of a girl who was about 15 to 16 years old.
When Lei Nuo knew what happened, he was secretly laughing at himself. The adult and child at home were all difficult to be handled. He quickly comforted his wife, or else the moment when she could not contain her anger, killing the servants was only a small matter, what mattered most was that she would damage most of the exquisite decorative items in the room.
By then when the news got spread out, it would be a laughing stock for outsiders.
Filled with grief, the imperial guard led Shen Lian into the residence. He warned Shen Lian not to wander around on his own. He was wondering what hallucinogen drug he had consumed to actually agree with this brat in taking this Black Tiger back home.
When they reached the garden, there was a manmade stream right beside the garden whereby the stream water was filled with spiritual vigor and it was so clear that the you could actually see the bottom of the stream clearly.
The imperial guard hesitated for a very long time, and in the end he decided not to allow Shen Lian to continue bringing the Black Tiger along. He said, ”you stay here and don't walk away, I'll be back very soon.”
He planned to get a steward to lock the black tiger first then he would proceed to take Shen Lian to the side hall to wait.
Shen Lian nodded his head.
The imperial guard was very furious. If it was not because the Prefect Grand Usher wanted to meet him, he would have already teach this brat a lesson. After all, the taste of bird poop just now was not favourable. He believed that was the brat's doing.
The imperial guard left hurriedly and quickly came back together with a steward.
Shen Lian randomly found a boulder to sit on by the stream whereas the black tiger was happily drinking water from the stream.
Lei's Residence was enormous, it was almost as big as a small fortification. This was still not the inner court, and the stream was also not the broadest stream in Lei Mansion.
Buildings in Da Xia seemed to be extraordinarily huge. It was not densely populated here. In one glance, you could see the grass and trees side by side, the river water was calm and crystal clear.
Shen Lian had been sitting under the Plane tree outside for five days. There used to be phoenix perching on the Plane tree that had lived for almost about five thousand years. It was limited to Da Xia's majesty, thus it did not dare to grow anymore and definitely not transforming.
As for Shen Lian, he had the phoenix aura. Thus, the Plane tree was very close with him.
Shen Lian had communicated a lot with it in these five days. This tree could not move or walk. It also could not grow without restraints. Nonetheless, it had been here for a very long time.
Lei's Residence was built for not more than 20 years. It used to be an abandoned land here. Yu Yang Daoist from Xuan Du Temple wanted to build a Daoist temple here in the past but Emperor Xia did not allow it to happen. Later on, Emperor Xia's biological sister, Si Jiang got married to Lei Nuo who owned Hu and then Emperor Xia granted this place to Si Jiang.
Although the Plane tree was located outside of Lei's Residence, its rhizome extended into Lei's Residence. From its memory, Shen Lian saw a small girl enter Lei's Residence and that small girl was Chen Yun who was Shen Lian's youngest aunt.
However, there was no sight of Chen Yun anymore after the Plane tree's rhizome extended not too far into the residence. It could not remember how Chen Yun looked like anymore after years had passed.
Shen Lian felt that this was a coincidence and a must at the same time. The Prefect Grand Usher was supposed to be responsible for the foreign affairs. Chen Yun came from outside into the Xia City. Perhaps she entered Lei's residence due to coincidence.
