Chapter 115 - AND THEN HE DANCED (1/2)
LUO YAN walked silently towards the bamboo forest. He was quite surprised to see that there wasn't even one guard around. Are they so confident that a group of courtesans couldn't do any harm to the prince's manor? He stealthily walked to the direction of the shadows that he saw. When he heard two voices talking, he immediately hid himself behind tall bushes of bamboos.
He peeked behind the bamboos. Then he saw two people – a man wearing an exquisite green robe and a young woman wearing a maid costume. The man was holding the maid in his arms.
What's this? A rendezvous?
Then the maid pushed the man away. ”No, we can't do this, Young Master An. You're about to be married to second young miss.”
”That marriage is just something our parents decided. You're the one I love, Meigui!” the man said, trying to hug the maid again.
The maid tried to dodge and push the young man away. ”D-don't say that, young master. I- I feel sorry for second young miss,” she said, tears in her eyes.
”I don't care. I don't care about that woman at all! Even if we marry, you're the only woman I'll love.” Then he forcefully hugged the maid.
”Young Master An—”
”Don't say anything. I'll marry Lin Ke. But after that, I'll immediately make you my concubine. That way, no one would complain.”
”Young master…” The maid looked moved. Then he raised her head towards the man as if waiting for a kiss.
”Meigui…”
When it seemed like the man was about to kiss the maid, Luo Yan turned around and quietly walked out of the bamboo forest.
What was that? A forbidden love between a maid and a young master? If he understood everything correctly, the man in the green robe was the fiancé of the second miss of the prince's manor. Considering the prince's age, that second miss was most probably his granddaughter.
Even if the prince was the Emperor's brother, that didn't mean that his descendants would have the title of princes or princesses. Unless the Emperor bestowed that title to them.
Anyway, this man engaged to the second miss was obviously in a secret relationship with the maid. If you considered the usual drama, then that maid was most probably the maid of that second miss. She probably seduced that young master. Ah, what a white lotus b*tch.”
But what did that scene he witnessed had to do with anything? Surely, it meant something. That scene wouldn't be put here, some place near where he – someone who replaced an NPC – would be. Unless, of course, it's related to one of the mysteries. Wait- how would he know what's a mystery and what's not anyway?
