82 Crying (2/2)

Once again, Xiao Lou stretched her hand, planning to pull XuanRong upward. Looking at the hand that was slowly coming closer towards her, XuanRong's eyes narrowed behind the handkerchief and inconspicuously withdraw her body, almost collapsing on the floor. Once again, Xiao Lou's outstretched hand failed to touch XuanRong.

*sob* *sob* *sob*

”No… Rong'er must be punished! Meimei must have been devastated when she was not able to show off her skills!” XuanRong continued weeping as she weakly lay on the floor. Without any choice, Xiao Lou had to call for XuanRong's maidservants.

”You two, come! Your XiaoJie's emotion is a bit unstable! Quickly bring her back to her room and call for a physician! Hurry!”

YuYing and YuLi immediately ran forward and supported XuanRong as they 'drag' her out from Xiao Lou's inner room.

”No!!! Er Niang!! Please Punish Rong'er! Please punish----”

XuanRong's voice slowly faded, making Xiao Lou sigh with relief. She did not expect that XuanRong would ask for forgiveness and act like she was being possessed by a crying ghost. The only reason why Xiao Lou called XuanRong was because of XuanRong's upcoming hairpin ceremony[1] but it seemed like she had to postpone her plan since she was not able to mention it with XuanRong this time.

”Ah'Zhi..”

”Yes, Furen? This old servant is here.”

Xiao Lou went to the inner room and opened a small cabinet beside her bed. She then pulled a square shaped object being wrapped with a golden handkerchief.

”Here, give it to father. Tell him that he had to follow the instructions written inside. Please tell him that he should not meddle with my affairs. It almost destroyed my plan. How could he think stupidly? Tell him to stay low. Now is not the time to finish XuanRong. Many eyes were eyeing the XiangFu. We should not be careless. Ah'Zhi, do not forget. Tell him those words. Do you understand?”

Ah'Zhi nodded and replied, ”Yes, Furen, this servant understands.”

”Mmmm.. okay, make haste! You must remember not to get caught. If you think that someone is following you, you have to destroy this. There is not room for mistake.”

After hearing Xiao Lou's order, Zhi mama immediately left the Fu using the back door.

'Father, please do not get agitated. Daughter will not let you down.'
