Legend of the Moon Sword
Things to hide (2)

Zhi Yuo might have too quickly concluded that there was a chess game in this family. He did not even know what the Gu family was like. Perhaps what Xie Jia said was true, Master Gu's wife did indeed love her husband wholeheartedly even to the point of bringing him medicine from out of town.

But the strange thing was, why should the healer who was assigned to treat Master Gu not enter this residence? Shouldn't it be that if someone is sick and wants to take medicine, there should be a recommendation from a healer?.

But why isn't this?

Zhi Yuo also did not know, did the medicine that Xie Jia said really have received advice from his healer?.

"Ah, even if it is definitely checked by a great healer. The drug should not be used carelessly,"

Zhi Yuo bit the peach in his hand, with a single chew he immediately swallowed it. Peaches here are well maintained, the fruit is quality and fresh. Zhi Yuo was addicted to eating it even though he ate it secretly.

If caught Lin Mei or Yan Yan Yan could be her business.

"I want to hurry up and get out of this place and practice." Zhi Yuo muttered alone. He took a deep breath and exhaled quickly, "But I want to find something strange here!".

Zhi Yuo was silent, before long he put up a demonic grin.

" Yes, I'm gonna have a little fun here. Isn't this what you call enjoying a new life?".

Then he laughed loudly. Indeed, he thought now he had gone mad. But even before he was reborn, he was crazier than this.

Zhi Yuo stopped his laughter. His hands extended upwards to pick up one more peach. His intention of wanting to eat it again as well as bring some to Xie Jia. There was no need to worry about Xie Jia going to complain to Yan Yan, because that innocent brat was smart to shut up.

Just wanting to bite off one of those tantalizing peaches, Zhi Yuo stopped and found something strange. His eyes glanced towards the pavilion, narrowing his eyes to clarify what he saw.

There was Lin Mei and one person, her clothes were quite simple and she was probably one of the male servants in the Gu residence.

There were both of them talking, and it wasn't very audible until Zhi Yuo's ears.

"What are they talking about?" Zhi Yuo whispered.

With an unclear conversation from a distance, Zhi Yuo tried to put up his ears in order to hear their conversation even a little. Butwhy? He can't hear them!.

"Damn! actually this body-owning brat is deaf or what?! ".

Zhi Yuo was probably a little annoyed after one of the male servants had permission to retreat after they talked about something, leaving Lin Mei alone.

Zhi Yuo hit the tree branch until it broke, he was angry himself, whereas the small conversation might give a little information about the Gu family.

But Zhi Yuo did not see any awkwardness until that was it. He saw clearly when Lin Mei was silent alone in the pavilion. A smile spread from his lips. No, it was a sneaky smile.

"Oh, this boy has pretty good eyesight."

Zhi Yuo smiled obliquely, he saw that Lin Mei was slightly humming there then left. Zhi Yuo jumped down after he felt it was safe.

"Okay, maybe this will come out soon."

"Yan Yan, can I talk to you?".

Yan Yan looked at her cynically, then put down a few baskets before he said with annoyance.

" Keep your modesty, I'm older than you!".

Zhi Yuo who heard that tilted his head in confusion. After digesting the words from Yan Yan just now, he chuckled softly then approached Yan Yan and looked into his eyes directly.

"Then, what should I call you? Brother Yan Yan?" His voice was lower than before.

Yan Yan was startled, with one push he pushed Zhi Yuo away from him. When he heard Zhi Yuo's voice heavier, he was immediately startled instead of playing.

Oh, come! That Zhi Yuo was just a silly boy who had a mental disorder from often wearing female clothes. Why was he now able to turn into a real man so quickly?!.

Yan Yan cleared his throat, he flicked his hand while looking away.

"What do you want to talk about?" - Yan Yan.

Zhi Yuo laughed, he leaned his back on the wooden wall behind him then started the question.

"I was curious, what Lin Mei told one of the servants in the pavilion. Do you know anything?".

Yan Yan Yan stopped his activities of doing homework, he looked at Zhi Yuo with a puzzled look.

"Whatchu mean? You saw Lin Mei in the pavilion?"

Zhi Yuo nodded, "I just happened to pass by and see them but didn't hear what they were talking about, but I was curious. Yan Yan, do you know something?".

Yan Yan Yan instantly took a suspicious look at Zhi Yuo, "What do you want to always know?".

Zhi Yuo laughed inwardly. He already knew and had guessed beforehand that Yan Yan would be suspicious of him. Fortunately this Zhi Yuo is good at making lies and drama.

"No, I just want to know. He said some days Lady Gu Fei will come. I thought they were talking about a celebration that would be formed to welcome his arrival, who knows I could help." Zhi Yuo explained his point, although it was clearly a lie.

Yes, inevitably acting like a good child like this can be trusted easily.

Yan Yan nodded, he believed and thought Zhi Yuo was indeed strange and mischievous. But maybe there is a good side that makes him always want to help.

"Maybe they've just talked about Mr. Gu's medicine which is planned to come this afternoon." Said Yan Yan.

Yan Yan nodded again, "Yes, usually so."

Yan Yan let Zhi Yuo and continued his work. Zhi Yuo who was still in a state of disbelief started to leave from there without saying goodbye first. And that made Yan Yan eager to curse the boy.

"This afternoon I have to go to the pavilion." Zhi Yuo.

Black ink on white paper. The lentic finger holds the brush gently and then dips it back in the ink. With a slow motion he closed the paper he had written and gave it to one of the servants working at the Gu residence.

"Give this to Madam Gu Fei's personal assistant waiting outside. This is a personal letter that must be given to a Lady Gu Fei." Lin Mei handed the letter she had written to the servant.

"Tell him to send the medicine. Meet me at the pavilion this afternoon."

The young maid nodded then retreated to retreat and met Madam Gu Fei's assistant who had been waiting for a long time in front. His task now was to take the letter from Lin Mei and bring it to Madame Gu Fei herself.

Lin Mei smiled, she slightly hummed and walked slowly towards the pavilion.

"I will do my duty well, Lady Fei."

Zhi Yuo arrived at the pavilion. He was waiting for something. Yeah, who else if not Lin Mei. He was sure the arrogant servant would come in a few minutes.

"For a long time, when should I be here?" Zhi Yuo grumbled.

He had prepared a plan for getting information. Oh, of course this is not easy, because digging up this information is very difficult.

But Zhi Yuo had considered himself a professional, so he was not afraid of it.

He was shocked when he saw Lin Mei's silhouette coming out from within the residence and preparing towards the pavilion.

Zhi Yuo launched his plan, he recklessly jumped into the pond water filled with lotuses and fish. For a moment he thought that the depth of the pond was quite shallow.

But...

"It seems like my body is short."

Yes, the water is not very deep. But this is enough to drown a child.

Fortunately Zhi Yuo has expertise in swimming. He swam slowly near the pavilion and hid under the floating pavilion floor, tethered with wood.

Zhi Yuo took a deep breath, he calmed himself down and hugged the wood that became the pavilion's host in order to stand on the water.

He saw from the reflection of the water, Lin Mei was standing there. He looked happy, enjoying the view. Zhi Yuo started to be careful, he had to keep hiding here.

Soon someone greeted Lin Mei politely, remembering that Lin Mei was the senior of the servants.

"The medicine has arrived?"

"Yes, senior. Please take it and give it to Master Gu. According to Madam Gu Fei's personal assistant, this medicine should be given tonight immediately. The effect will work."

"alright, great. Is this well done? It smells bad."

"That's according to the measure. According to Madam Fei's assistant, this medicine is bigger in effect and more dangerous than ever."

Zhi Yuo flinched, he discovered the strangeness here.

"more dangerous? "

Lin Mei smiled, she raised a small bottle of the medicine and told the waiter to leave.

"It's gonna get better, say thank you to Mrs Fei's assistant."

Lin Mei smiled, "Alright, let's prepare dinner."

"Good, senior."

Then they both walked away. It sounded from the knocking of the feet that sounded from the pavilion floor.

After his voice moved away, Zhi Yuo fell silent under the pavilion. With the position still in hiding, he began to think that something was wrong with the Gu family and the medicine.

This mystery must inevitably be solved.
