Chapter 17
Yu Hao lightly nodded, agreeing with Mo Liancheng.
He, indeed, made her go all the way round the mannor. From north side following to west side, then from west side running to the receiving room, even one very good-tempered ought to get irritated, right?
He Just liked to see her getting angry.
„This subordinate doesn´t understand.“ Yu Hao slightly lowered his head. He didn´t completely understand Mo Liancheng´s real meaning.
„There´s no need for you to understand. What has she been doing these two days?“
„Replying to your highness. Her highness was whole time merely moving around inside the Xue Yuan. It seemed as if she was getting familiar with terrain, yet when looking closely, it seemed not to be the case. However……..regarding that tall wall, that leads to the outside of mannor, she quite keeps her eyes on it.“
„Oh. Is that so?“
„Her highness had not much contact with people inside the mannor. Just occasionally chatting about some daily life things. Beside a maidservant Jing Xin, who is following her highness around all day, there are two more women. One is called Su Yuela, the other is called Xiao Wei. But, they are both busy in the kitchen and medicine room. There´s nothing unusual with their actions. They know their places.“
„Oh?“
„Should we continue to send people to watch them?“ Yu Hao asked.
„Those oughted to be monitored nevertheless need to be kept an eye on. One is bound to put on a show, right? Mo Liancheng smiled lightly. He was actually surprised by Qu Tang´er´s quietness. Anyway, he agreed to marry her, but he didn´t agree to let her do whatever she pleased. Flower vase[1] was pretty when it was posed, but it couldn´t be fiddled. Once it shattered it would be of no value.
Yu Hao became quiet. He didn´t ask any more questions.
And outside the room, two silhouettes hastily charged toward their direction.
„That man truly deserves a good spanking.“ Qu Tang´er cursed out aloud while walking. She honestly couldn´t endure it.
„Master, keep your voice down a little, lest to make people hear it.“ Jing Xin warned while walking, in order to made her restrain herself a little.
„Keep down voice your ghost! If this can be tolerated then what cannot be? If that man doesn´t deserve a good smacking then he deserves a good lesson. I´m sure that he was absolutely intentional.“ Qu Tang´er was finally sure of this issue. One coincidence could be reasoned. But several successive coincidences would appear deliberate.
„Maybe his highness truly missed us unintentionally.“
„Missed us? If only it were possible. Just, from the current perspective, I´m afraid we will have a rough time in the future.“
„Master…..“
„Let´s stop talking about that. We are almost there.“
Qu Tang´er and Jing Xin entered Shuang Yuan.
There were imperial bodyguards keeping watch. There were also maidservants and old female servants, who were pa.s.sing by. They, one by one, saluted her (Qu Tang´er).
After going through the report, she finally got to see Mo Liancheng. She has walked for so long, yet, she saw that person was currently leisurely sipping a tea. Only, it was the back that was facing her. His long fine black hair was laid down on the back. It has actually added him transcending the world´s air. And, on the table beside him were also arranged pastries and fruits.
This kind of contrast made Qu Tang´er particularly annoyed. The grievance inside her heart again raised by another two points.
However, she told herself that she had to endure…..
„This subordinate greets your highness.“ Yu Hao, not too hurriedly nor too slowly, with head slightly lowered, quietly spoke.
„Uh? There´s no need to be so polite.“ Qu Tang´er softly spoke, quite good-natured.
„This servant greets your eighth highness.“ Jing Xin´s action was also not slow. She saluted to the back of that man.
Of course, Qu Tang´er also gently and gracefully curtsied toward the direction of Mo Liancheng. She softly said: „Tang´er greets your highness.“
It seemed as if her recent anger was merely an illusion that people produced.
She quietly stood there, silently waiting for Mo Liancheng, whose back was facing herself.
She appeared to be serene. It seemed as if she was very patiently waiting for him to turn around.
„Sit down then, since you have come.“ Mo Liancheng flatly replied. Only, the back that was facing her still did not turn around. He was maybe waiting for an opportunity.
