ch 15.1 - Back to the Marke (2/2)

Since she brought up the father’s injury, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help her curiosity and asked, “Mom, can you tell me who was it that hurt dad, please?”

“Xiao Xiao, you don’t need to worry about that!” Mrs. Cheng looked at her daughter and looked to be in dismay. She avoided the subject, “It’s a blessing that you couldn’t remember the past. So don’t worry about it. Your brothers and sister are still young. Our current lives aren’t too bad!”

“Mom, I’m an adult now, I think I should know what had happened. Please, tell me?”

“Okay, Xiao Xiao, go get some rest. I will tell you later!” In order to avoid the subject, Mrs. Cheng quickly got up and went inside her own quarter!

Looking at the back of her mother disappearing into the house, Cheng Xiao Xiao felt very frustrated. She couldn’t understand why her mother would want to hide that from her. Being unhappy for a short while, she, too, returned to her own quarter.

Speaking of, there had been lots of servants on the street. If you were in the know about things, you would know these are all employees of Ning House and words on the street were they were looking for a mother/daughter pair.

But the servants of Ning House were destined to be disappointed. After a few days of searching, they were still unable to locate the two, it was as though they have never been there.

The few elders who were waiting at Ning House were also disappointed. They have been waiting for the mother and daughter to show up. They really wanted to find out where did these mythical animals come from.

Since they weren’t able to locate the two, one by one they had bid old man Ning farewell. At the same time, they also asked him to inform them if he hear anything about the mother and daughter and they’d return right away.

Old man Ning promised them and saw them out.

What they didn’t know what that the ones that they were searching for were about to show up in the marketplace shortly!
