C439 Deep peach flower (2/2)
”Auntie, let this servant handle this.” Sun mama walked over and said while licking her face.
”Pah!” Auntie Zhao raised her hand and slapped him. ”Who do you think you are?” Did I ask you? ”
”…” Senior Servant Sun covered her face, her chest heaving up and down. She was an old servant who had served two generations at the Xiao estate, and could be considered to be of high status. She had never suffered such grievances before, but now she could only endure it.
Within the Immortal Lotus Courtyard.
Lian Ruyue finally washed up and prepared to rest on her bed. Her cold brows and Qingdai came to report to her separately:
”Lian Tian has already sent Third Miss to the barn. All the servants have been taken away, leaving only Third Miss and the two guards there. The guards are all of their own people, no problem.” Leng Mei was talking about Lian Shiya's situation.
”As for Auntie Xiao, the moment she entered the west yard, Auntie Zhao couldn't wait to settle the score with her. Eldest Miss, don't worry, Auntie Zhao doesn't like her to begin with. Now that she has received the golden bracelet, she will definitely spare no effort in finding trouble with her.” Qing Dai recounted the situation on the side to Madam Xiao.
Lian Yue gave a long yawn and said, ”I'm sleepy.”
”Then rest well young miss. This servant and Leng Mei are watching over you from the outside. You should get a good night's sleep. There's nothing to worry about.”
After extinguishing the oil lamp, Fairy Qingmei covered her with a quilt before tiptoeing out of the room with her cold eyebrows. Lian Yue closed her eyes and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
That night, a few terrifying cries came from the west yard, and then nothing could be heard.
The next morning, Lian Ru Yue asked Lian mother for instructions. Dao and Third Aunt Liu went together to the Ninghua Temple to pray for Grandmother's blessings. With Lian mother's permission, she left with Madam Liu for the Ninghua Temple.
When they arrived at the temple, they first went to the incense and prayed. Lian Meng Yue also donated a lot of incense money, and Lady Liu said that she finally came out with great difficulty. She wanted to stay in the temple for half a day.
Thus, Lian Xiyue and Mrs Liu separated, and Mrs Liu went to find the person she saw.
”Eldest Miss, His Highness has been here for a long time. He is currently in the Peach Blossom Forest, please invite Eldest Miss over.” Leng Mei came over and said to Lian Ruyue.
”Let's go.” Lian Ruyue headed towards the temple's Peach Blossom Forest.
The Peach Blossom Forest of the Nine Flower Temple was a beautiful scene on a spring day in the capital. With the blowing of the wind, the petals of the Peach Blossom Forest drifted in the wind, causing a magnificent rain of peach blossoms.
But today, Lian Ruyue was walking along the road, yet she didn't see anyone within the Peach Blossom Forest. As she raised her head to look around, she heard a melodious flute song coming from ahead — —
Her heart trembled. Facing the sound of the flute, she stepped on the petals that had fallen to the ground and walked forward step by step.
She followed the sound of the flute as if she had passed through many years.
Although she didn't say anything, she had a strong feeling that this flute melody belonged to her alone. Like a ray of light in the dark night, it streaked across the ice, touching her soul until it went deep.
Finally, she arrived at the depths of the Peach Blossom Forest and saw the man standing underneath the Peach Blossom Tree.
He held the jade flute in his hand and stood in the wind. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and he wore a silver robe that overflowed the world.
Seeing her, the flute music abruptly stopped …
