Chapter 125: Two Madams
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
In the Wu Residence of Qinlingjun City in Yunzhou.
Deep in the residence, the disciples and servants shuttled back and forth across the courtyard. For them, this was the daily routine which had lasted for hundreds of years. It seemed that everything was in order.
However, deep in the old residence laid a deep and quiet courtyard, the atmosphere was not the same as usual.
”Where did Zhou Bao come from? I've never heard of him before. How could he do such big things when he just went out once?” A gorgeous 30-year-old lady dressed up said in a tender but majestical tone.
The lady was mature and beautiful. What were noticeable were her arched eyebrows, but there was a little faint evil spirit in them.
”First Madam, Zhou Bao came from Qingyang Market. Right now he is just 13 years old...”
A 60-year-old servant stood beside her. He looked obedient, but there was a hint of sagacity in his eyes. He just kept his head down and slowly described Junior Leopard's experiences in Qingyang Market, Qinlingjun City and even in Zhonghe City. His description was detailed without any omission.
”Qingyang Market?” The First Madam seemed to think of something unpleasant, frowning slightly. ”You mean, at the beginning, he was introduced into the Wu Family by Old Xing?”
”Yes, in other words, Old Xing was his first teacher. Zhou Bao was a brilliant talent. I heard that when he worked as an apprenticeapprentice in Qingyang Market, he had an insight and gained an ingenious insight on hammering skills!”
”What about the relationship between him and Old Xing?”
”Sorry, madam. I have no information about that!” The old servant bowed his head and continued, ”But I think he was a little kid at that time, he didn't stay with Old Xing for long, so maybe they weren't very close!”
”Yeah, you said it!” The Madam heard what he said and revealed a relaxed expression on her face. ”I heard that Zhou Bao and Chief Wang were close?”
”I'm afraid nobody knows the relationship between him and Chief Wang except General Li!”
The old servant thought it over for a while and said scrupulously.
”In the underground fire vein, Chief Wang gave him 19 Fire Way Spiritual Stones. Judged from this point, their relationship was really close. You know, the stupid Second Young Master is the disciple of Chief Wang and has been in the Tian Long Mystic Mountain for many years, but I never heard that Chief Wang has given him something valuable!”
The old servant said nothing.
”Forget it. I won't make things difficult for you. Go!” The First Madam shook her hand. Then the old servant bent to salute and went out of the courtyard.
Watching the old servant disappearing, the First Madam smiled complacently. ”19 Fire Attribute Spiritual Stones! He he, Wang She was really generous. However, normally speaking, these Spiritual Stones should belong to Second Young Master. If that woman hears this information, who know whether she'll die with anger!”
...
...
”Bang, bang, ping, ping!”
The crackling sound continued to come out of the room. Five maidservants dressed in pink stood at the door with a pale face and as mute as a mouse. They were afraid to disturb the Madam which had flown off the handle; otherwise, they would be killed.
”Zhou Bao, Zhou Bao, where did Zhou Bao come from?”
Some sounds indistinctly came out of the room. What she said was completely the same as the First Madam said in the courtyard.
Then some noises and chaos came out. The five maidservants just stood still at the door, with their hands hanging down. However, they were more fearful than just now.
Sound after sound of chaos came out. Then the sounds died away. It was totally silent. After the time of an Incense Stick to burn, the door was opened. A gorgeous lady dressed in jade green attire stood at the door with a sullen expression. She glanced at the five maidservants standing beside the door and coldly said, ”Go to clean up!”
”Yes!” The five maidservants said in chorus and went into the room in a hurry, just like busy butterflies, and then carefully cleaned up the room.
The Second Madam left the room with anger, across the parlor, into a twisting corridor, through an archway, and then went into a tiny courtyard.
The courtyard was very small, but it was very clean. In fact, there was nothing to clean up, because except for the lawn, there was only one small temple that gave out a light sandalwood smell. The smell was hanging over the whole courtyard, which made the courtyard particularly quiet and peaceful.
The Second Madam went into the courtyard still with a sullen expression. Then she went into the temple, taking a deep breath, kneeling to the Buddha statue with her hands in a zen gesture and her eyes closed. She seemed in a peaceful mind and started to sincerely pray.
