Xiuying is currently walking near the slum with her maidservants and guards with baskets full of food from Ying Yue. It has been a habit of hers to visit the slum to provide food on weekly basis though she only go personally once a month. While Xue'er and Xiao Hua are handing out the food to the people, Xiuying had Ping, one of father's shadow guards go with her and rest in the same residence of the old couple.
"Thank you for helping me out these past months." Xiuying elegantly bowed to pay respect and thanks the old couple. "You don't need to thank us at all Young Miss as what we did give us benefits to help the children here finally go to school and physician to check their health." The old man stated, few months ago Xiuying went to them to hire them to sabotage the stores of Qi Chang and Long Guanting. Though they just needed to reveal the dirt in Qi Chang's stores they took time to do it so it wouldn't arouse any suspicion. Despite being an asshole it is not surprising t
"Master, Fang Fei was killed by Qi Chang this morning but it was concealed that the first madam died due to illness as for Eleven she is safe and ready for your next task while Qi Bao is currently in critical condition." "Is Qi Bao concious at least?" Xianyao smirked as he listened to the report of One. "Yes." "I see, advise Qi Bai to make sure he will be the one to inherit everything in Qi Fu. Have Qi Fu's physician declare that Qi Chang became insane due to what happened. Have the city peacekeeper detain Qi Chang. About Eleven tell her to leave Qi Fu, her role as second wife of Qi Chang's done." "Master, should we tell Mistress about this?" One asked since both of them are causing problem in Qi and Long Fu, his master should at least show off his efforts to the Mistress. "She doesn't need to know, she'll be mad at me once she knows I laid my hands on her enemies."
Qi Lei accompanied Qi Fan in returning to Long Fu, she still can't believe that her father killed Fang Fei and is now in jail she have lost her support. Although their grandfather is still alive he is in critical condition and there's no guarantee that he will wake up soon. If he does by then Qi Bai have already stabilized his position as the heir since her brother is still too young. "Qi Lei... I need your help we can't let uncle take control of Qi Fu... I will lose my support to stabilize my position here in Long Fu!" Qi Fan said while biting her nails as they arrived in her courtyard's receiving area. Qi Lei just stared at his sister before taking steps to leave but he heard another scream from her. "Qi Lei! You ungrateful bastard you shouldn't have been born if father didn't need a heir!" Instead of walking towards Long Fu's gate Qi Lei went to Patriach Long's study and sees the housekeeper guarding it. "May I ask if Patriach Long will have few minutes to spare?"
"Young miss Old Hu came..." Xiao Hua said while looking at Xiuying who busily checking the month's revenue of Ying Yue."Bring him in." Xiuying instructed without removing her attention to the account books."Young miss..." the old man from the slum bowed respectfully."Elder Hu you came is there anything urgent?" Xiuying looks up seeing the man's appearance far from he usually looks like when she visits the slums. He was wearing a decent attire of Ying Yue's employees and with a stern bearing, people who don't know him would assume right away that he have the same position as Manager Ba."One of our people in Fang Fei courtyard found this." He gave the sachet decorated with white lilies. Xiuying sniffed the faint fragrance from it, her expression changed drastically. "Did you know who gave it to Fang Fei?""It was given by Qi Chang's
After two months of being away from the capital Long Guanting came back in Long Fu and is currently in Qi Fan's courtyard. Qi Fan have been six months pregnant and being taken care of the two wet nurses assigned by Patriach Long.Looking at the woman resting in front of him, he can't help but feel disgusted. Discovering all the schemes done by Qi Fan and her parents to Qi Xiuying behind his back, he is helpless at the retribution he is facing. His supposedly wife whom he now love can be engage to another man that is most probably be Jun Wang, as he heard of the frequent visits of the prince to Ying Yue and in Qi Chen's residence. Now he recalls what his grandfather told him when he went to Ying Yue during the first banquet held for the closest aides if the emperor.The road I chose indeed is one without a way out huh... He can't help but mock himself for being a fool. He loved Qi Fan and is sure of it but discovering that all the instances they have met were all fabric
Sitting in the bathtub near the ceiling to floor window, she can see the city still awake though it is past midnight. The city lights and cars that look like ants, her lips curled up into a mocking smile. So alive... Why are they so fucking lucky to have a real home... And why am I... Ha! Shaking her head to remove such useless thoughts. For her, it is too late, so late that only sleeping forever would give her relief. She took the small blade that she bought at the pharmacy in front of the motel she's staying in. Without any hesitation, she slits her right wrist cutting off her radial artery and without a second gap, she does the same to her left wrist. Seeing the blood flow out of her own body she feels that sadness, anger and betrayal is leaving her, numbing more her 'dead' heart even those fleeting specks of happiness she felt under his protection. 'This is the only way for me to be free... So painful... Bear with it Raine, it won't be long befo...' Her vision starts to blur
She felt being surrounded by something warm, fearing that it would only be temporary, she tried curving her body in a fetal pose to save as much of the warm feeling as she could even though she knew it was useless. Her body feels so heavy that she can't move even an inch. ‘Where am I? I died. I felt it… did someone from the hotel discover me? Did ‘they’ find and revive me at the last minute?’ ‘If… I’m still alive, then I need to get out of here or try dying again. It is better than being their puppet!’ Her incapability to move and see heightens her hearing and smelling. She tries to feel her surroundings for any clue to where she is. That’s when she noticed a soft pair of hands touched her arm while gently wiping it and a weeping sound came along with it. She feels it is useless for the other to wipe her arm as the person’s tears are wetting her skin. It took longer for the person sponge bathing her to finish as the person tries to concentrate on taking care of her but fails as the
[sleepy eiycee: I’ll start referring to Raine as Xuiying from this point.]As days pass by, Raine at least knows that she has indeed transmigrated and is now a young lady named Qi Xiuying. She is now the second lady of a well-known family of merchants in the capital of the Feng empire. Today, her mother Xi Hui is accompanying her while embroidering. She felt loved as she heard her mother talk of their past, although those belong to the original owner of her current body. She started to feel nervous as she heard a series of hurried but steady steps and felt another person enter her room. Hearing no movements from her mother, she realized that it is someone whom their family trusted it was then she felt at ease. “Mother…” a voice of a confident young man reached her ears. Based on how he calls her mother, then he is the brother she hears from her mother’s stories. She cannot relate the young man to someone who is full of mischiefs as his voice sounded confident and mature.“Ming’er, wh
“How is my cousin?” If Xiuying did not feel her maid’s reaction and heard from her new family what happened to the original owner of her body, she will assume that the person who gently asked this question is someone who truly cares for her. She can feel how Xue’s stiffness relaxes a bit as the maid breathes deeply to calm down herself before answering the visitor’s question. “Young Miss is doing well, First Young Miss Qi Fan.” Xue upon hearing the newcomer's question stood up and bowed to the young lady who spoke, as a greeting before answering respectfully like the emotions Xiuying felt from the maid earlier were just an illusion. Xiuying felt the newcomer reach out to her and gently caress her hair as if afraid to hurt Xiuying. The smell coming from the lady makes anyone relax, however she noticed the light scent of Jasmine flowers which is one of scents that can arouse any man who is physically close to the young lady. Hearing the name her maid called the newcomer, Xiuying’s mouth
