92 His Embrace (1/2)

XuanRong stood up, wanting to pick the butterfly-shaped hairpin.

”XiaoJie, be careful! Let this servant clean the broken box.”

YuYing immediately stopped XuanRong. She carefully picked the broken shards and placed it on a silk cloth. YuYing grabbed the butterfly-shaped hairpin and saw that one of its wings had a small dent on it.

”XiaoJie, this hairpin is already broken. Do you want to throw it away?” YuYing asked.

Looking at the hairpin on YuYing's hand, a sudden wave of sadness once again engulfed her heart.

”No.. just.. just place it on the dresser.”

”Yes. This servant understands.”

After placing the butterfly-shaped hairpin on the table, YuYing curtsied and left the room in order to throw the broken box.

XuanRong touched the hairpin and laughed sadly.

'Why am I still thinking of the past? He and I are from a different world.'

XuanRong grabbed the hairpin and placed it inside a new box.

”YuShen, has my maternal grandfather already arrived in the residence?”

”Old Master is still on his way.”

”Mmm.. I see. Go and tell Zou mama to prepare everything. Nothing must go wrong.”

”Yes, this servant understands.”

When YuShen left, YuShang and XuanRong were the only people left inside the room.

YuShang, who was standing near the door, slowly walked towards XuanRong.

”XiaoJie...”

”Mmm? What is it?”

YuShang closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

”XiaoJie... This servant has something to say.” After opening her eyes, YuShang stared at XuanRong.

”XiaoJie... the truth is... when you were inside the inner room while trying to recuperate last full moon, someone tried to sneak inside the courtyard.”

”What did you say?” XuanRong froze. Her heart started beating fast.

'Impossible!' XuanRong did not want to assume but she could not help it. There was a faint hint of expectation inside her heart, hoping that the one who tried to sneak inside her courtyard was him, her benefactor. But when XuanRong carefully thought it over, the hope and expectation she felt were extinguished in an instant. Just basing on that man's level of qinggong, if he really wanted to see her, if he tried to sneak inside the XiangFu, even An Wei would not be able to stop him. Blocking him would be futile. Thus, since no one was able to approach her during last full moon, it would only mean that An Wei and her maidservants were able to successfully stop the person who wanted to sneak inside Fu. Suddenly, XuanRong lost her interest to know the person who wanted to see her. She thought that it might be an assassin or some other people.
