As we walk towards the main hall they passed the garden Xiuying noticed something in the pavilion. She hurriedly whispered something to her father and that she won't attend the banquet, he was about to object and narrowed his eyes as if he see right through her. Xiuyung smiled at him mischievously though Qi Chen didn't know what's going on in her daughter's mind he nodded.
Noticing that her daughter went to a different direction, "The banquet will start soon where is she going?" Xi Hui asks her husband.
"She'll just catch up don't worry too much." Xi Hui nodded after hearing Qi Chen's reply and the couple started to walk again towards the main hall.
Once Xiuying got her father's permission she urge Xue'er to go the kitchen so they could eat and afterwards take a walk in the garden while waiting for meeting to start, She simply don't want to mingle with her cousins and their families.
Most of the servants are shocked to see their third young miss enter
Xiuying cries as she run and 'bumped' to few servants in the main hall's pathway. Some of the servants who are aware of the affair between the Long clan's eldest young master and their second young miss can only sigh inwardly and throw pity looks to Xiuying. All of them have the same thought as they saw the place where their third young miss came from, that is where the two couple are staying instead of attending the banquet. After few minutes they see Xue run after her young miss with worry in her eyes and thought that she is sad for Xiuying if only they knew that Xue is currently worrying how to fix her young miss' ruined dress as it was personally ordered to be made by their Third Madam, Xiuying's mother. Meanwhile in the main hall seven people are discussing the current year issues and plans of the clan while their servants are serving drinks and snacks. "Cousin I heard that your new business is doing well and since your only son is always travelling why
Noticing the glances between the patriach and her first uncle and they're about to speak to control the situation, Xiuying cries more louder which makes Fang Fei grew more annoyed as she feel the uneasiness in her heart. "Ying'er calm down you aren't a little child anymore and as a family we are here for you, am I right Uncle?" Qi Chen chided Xiuying though his voice sounded strict Xiuying can only feel warmth in her heart. "Yes as a family we are here for you." Immediately seconded by the Patriach, Qi Bao. "Chen'er why you didn't tell us that Xiuying have recovered? We could have prepared more dishes earlier in the banquet to celebrate." He voiced out his grievances though it sounded stiff due to shock of Xiuying appearance. He look at his nephew trying to see through his intention by hiding the news but he can't as Qi Chen have long mastered in concealing his thoughts. Qi Chen was about to speak but Xiuying interrupted him.
Your sleepy shameless adorable author: Thank you for supporting me and Xiuying! Here's my first 1000+ words chapter, enjoy reading! 🥰😍💋 Now I can go dreamland with Ying'er! 😴 In another place.... ML: 👿 . . . . After making sure that Xiuying, Xue and Xi Hui went to the side hall, Qi Chen finally look at his uncle. The Patriach was about to speak but Qi Chen beat him to it. "Uncle I know that you favor first cousin's daughter the most and I fully understand that however if such favor would result to this I need you to turn them to the authorities for them to be punished. If you just want to replace my Ying'er with Qi Fan you could have told us and we would gave way but instead you let Young Master Long and Fan'er to have an affair and hurt my daughter!" "Chen'er I know you are angry however you didn't inform me that Ying'er have recovered I could h
That bitch recovered! No! This can't be happening! Qi Fan's mind is in turmoil. Both their families agreed to have her wedding set on eight day of following month and now her cousin, who is the original fiance, recovered. All her thoughts aren't shown on her face as Guanting, her second uncle and aunt are present. "Really grandfather! Oh I'm so happy, thankfully Buddha have answered our prayers!" Fan exclaimed with a happy expression but turned worried as if she remembered something and look at Guanting. "Don't worry everything is already set. The one I love is you and soon you are to be my wife, Fan'er." Guanting immediately answered as he saw the worried eyes of his beloved. "I am glad that you didn't change your mind Young Master Long. My daughter is really lucky to have you." Fang Fei proudly commented while smirking at her second branch couple. "No, I am the lucky one here as Fan'er ha
Qi Chen was about to speak again but stopped when a jade like hand gently pats his left shoulder. He immediately control his anger knowing that it is his wife Xi Hui. "I see, you indeed have involvement to my daughter's mishap last year." Xi Hui smiles but everyone who knows her would definitely have goosebumps and feel more fear. Who doesn't know favorite granddaughter of Old General Xi? The Xi family although now not participating in politics nor war people still has to give them face as the Old General has been His Majesty's close friend and have saved the ruler's life few times. Xi Hui during her teens have been trained by the general despite being a female. "Hui'er how is our daughter?" "She's fine but still broken hearted she even said that if her cousin have just told her about Young Master Long's affection towards Fan'er then she would give way. I already explained everything to her and she's very disappointed to the actions made by her now ex-fiance
Outside the side courtyard of the main hall the servants can see two ladies walking away, the girl behind is wearing a first rank servant's attire. Her face shows how upset she is as she tries to convince the other to let her hold the umbrella as it is her duty but the other one just shakes her head and firmly hold the simple bamboo umbrella to fight the scorching heat of sun. The young miss that the servant is following is no other than Xiuying who is now wearing a new light blue hanfu, Xue helped her clean up and changed earlier. Although her eyes is still red from crying, the pinkish blush on her cheeks further enhance her already enchanting appearance. All male servants even the female ones eyes follow her every movement as it is so graceful and elegant like they are seeing a fairy. They all feel that the deities are showering the third young miss with blessings through the falling cherry blossoms petals. Ah young miss if everyone is like this we can even rob peo
While the master and servant happily prepare things to bring to their new home, Qi Fan is pacing back and forth outside her mother's courtyard she glares at her father's trusted servant who is preventing her from seeing her mother. Upon entering the inner room Qi Chang slaps her first wife. "You ruined everything!" he shouted at her face as he delivered another slap to Fang Fei's other cheek. Her delicate face is now swelling and covered with snots and tears, she tries to run away from her husband but failed to do so when Qi Chang grab her wrists and flung her to wall. Her breathing hitched as her back hits the wall, she can guess that now she have one or two broken bones. "I... I'm so sorry husband their insults to us especially to Fan'er hurts me... I just want to avenge my daughter!" Fang Fei knows that her reactions give way for Qi Chen and Xi Hui to confirm who hurt their daughter. "Avenge?! You slut!" Qi Chang kicks her as she cowers in the corner. "All
Once Qi Fan entered his father's study, she immediately saw him frowning while reading few reports. The smell of ink and books lingers around the room calming her agitated heart. She was happy that she is finally Guanting's bethrothed. Every night before sleeping she always imagine how her wedding procession will go, how she look wearing a wedding attire and the man she loves receiving her in Long Fu next month always makes her smile unknowlingly. She just didn't expect for Xiuying to recover nor for her cousin to witness the intimate interaction between her and Guanting this morning. "Sit down." Qi Chang's tired voice awakens her from daydreaming, she slowly sit facing her father. Her father who always seem sharp at everything he does now seems to have aged suddenly. She can't help but think how Third Uncle confronted her parents and grandfather this morning. The always calm and collected gaze of his uncle she always admire now looks like a storm that destroys every
