29 The duo (1/2)

”Does Liu family's fourth lady have any objections?” Yu Xing Han asked.

Jiao Yu looked up silently at him. Does one have any objections?

From the start, no one asked her opinion and they even treated her as if one was not there. Now that they have decided to send her to someone else's residence, how can one have any objection, knowing that they won't even listen to her, right?

Jiao Yu thought that with the commotion going on the place, it was impossible that she would be able to get out without being seen and letting the name of the Liu family go downwards with the fact that a troop of soldiers found her and got involved in such a cruel tragedy. It is better for her to comply now for appearances sake.

Jiao Yu shook her head and did not object, as her thoughts worked its way on how she could get back to the Liu residence.

”Then, I'll walk you two out to make sure.” Yu Xing Han said.

With that, the three of them left the room.

They passed by several rooms with its doors opened, the contents inside give the same impression to Jiao Yu. The same evil thing were also being practiced that every room looked just as the same as the room Jiao Yu was in.

As they go further away from the room they were in, the two male took a turn as Jiao Yu just followed their directions silently however, she did not forget to act afraid and the panic on her face was also evident that made Yu Xing Han worry for her well being.

The three of them stopped in front of a huge painting. Xukun took out the painting out of their way, revealing a wooden door, possibly the passage outside, Jiao Yu thought to herself.

Before Jiao Yu and Xukun went outside, the two male went to another corner and talk with each other with hush voices, while Jiao Yu could somehow hear what they were saying. Though, Xukun looked all so welcoming and friendly with his aura extracting a demeanor of a scholar and friendly type of a man and from what Jiao Yu just heard from their conversation, he was not at all alright with her in the Yu residence.

Jiao Yu did not know why Xukun would say that but she heard him say something like, 'One is still not convinced why would you let her come to the Yu residence, when this would create problems to us. And I doubt your father would be so proud of you letting a Liu come into his abode.'Then their conversation became even more hushed as it got longer, letting her hear some of it vaguely.

One did not know what Xukun meant by that but with the way he said that, it seems that there was something going on between the two families, which Jiao Yu had never heard of.

Jiao Yu stood at the side of another corner and looked anxiously around and saw the two male coming up beside her and the usual smile on Xukun's face was back.

”Lets' go.” Xukun said as his smile reached another notch.

Jiao Yu felt weird with Xukun smiling at her but she did not sense any blood lust nor hatred from him but just the air of a playful second in command he portrayed since earlier.

......

The sky was still dark and the stars up above twinkled as the horse carriage galloped its way on the bumpy road.

Occasionally, Jiao Yu would hear roosters crowing from afar and felt that, the day finally came to an end but her problems doubled itself as the days passes by.
