Legend of the Moon Sword
Uncovered

Zhi Yuo brought his steps back to the Gu residence. The sun was fully visible that morning. He came at the right time. Lady Fei's entourage will be coming today, exactly this morning.

So he had to devise some more plans.

Yan Yan Yan looked up from the window of his room. When she saw Zhi Yuo coming, she immediately waved her hand.

"Zhi Yuo!" He called from a distance.

The called one answered with a wave of his hand, then ran and jumped over the window branch. Yan Yan sighed in relief when Zhi Yuo returned safely. He didn't even know how the boy's fate would be when he walked into Madam Fei's residence.

"How is Xie Jia doing?" Ask Zhi Yuo. Xie Jia was lying on the bed, her eyes were still closing and her breathing was calmer than last night.

"As you may have guessed, he's been poisoned. Last night I took him to the right doctor. The dose of poison is quite high, if I'm a little late for sure..." Yan Yan was no longer able to explain. He exhaled violently, then turned to look at Zhi Yuo.

"Mrs Fei is coming this morning. We must welcome his arrival," Yan Yan passed by Zhi Yuo, walking towards the door of the room.

"Wait!" Zhi Yuo called out. Yan Yan responded without making a sound, only with a puzzled expression could he respond to Zhi Yuo.

"Are you sure you want to welcome him? it was the same as killing Master Gu, "

"What does that mean?.."

"Come, I want to tell you something,"

.

.

.

Yan Yan Yan eyes bulged wide, the palm of his hand he used to cover his own mouth. He really could not believe what Zhi Yuo told him.

"Would Lady Fei do such a thing?" Hearing from his tone, Yan Yan looked shocked.

Zhi Yuo just nodded. He breathed in exhaustion after 15 minutes of talking. He told her everything from beginning to end accompanied by the reason why he had followed Lin Mei's entourage from the start.

"You know, however, we have to dismantle everything in front of Mr. Gu himself. Besides, if we keep our mouths shut like this, it's the same as shutting down a criminal act" said Zhi Yuo. He casually leaned his back against the wall.

Yan Yan now had the condition reversed with Zhi Yuo. She was so shocked that she bit her thumb in panic.

Instantly Yan Yan stared intently at Zhi Yuo, "You're crazy huh? Unpacking all this in front of Master Gu without any preparation?!".

Zhi Yuo chuckled wryly when he heard it. He patted Yan Yan Yan on the shoulder with a slanted smile.

"I'm not that stupid as Yan Yan, you need to know I've prepared a plan before I get here,"

Zhi Yuo further widened his smile then whispered in Yan Yan's ear, "You just need to do what I prepare as neatly as possible,"

"If Lady Fei is playing behind the scenes, then I should play her in public, ".

.

.

.

"Excuse me, uh.." Yan Yan greeted subtly when he saw the servants of Madam Fei's residence who had already come first.

Madam Fei's servants replied with smiles upon hearing her greeting. Then one of them replied, "What's the need, miss?".

"Um... I am Master Gu's servant, is the gift box from Lady Fei that will be given to Master Gu already here?" Yan Yan asked softly.

The servants looked at each other. They were initially astonished to hear Yan Yan's question. But a second later they did not mind that, as Yan Yan looked not suspicious at all.

"Of course, miss, the item arrived here 10 minutes ago. Were you told to take him?".

" Ah, yes! I am preparing for Lady Fei's arrival. Then the reward for Mr. Gu I'll put it over there,".

"All right,"

Yan Yan received a large sturdy box in his hand. It was a gift from Lady Fei to her husband. I don't know what's in it. Yan Yan Yan thanked him and then left and went inside the residence.

"Zhi Yuo is stupid..Will this plan work? "Yan Yan grumbled inwardly.

.

.

.

"It's done! It's so neat!" Zhi Yuo excited. He had finished dealing with Master Gu's gift box.

Yan Yan bit his own lower lip. Feeling worried was also anxious about the plan Zhi Yuo made.

"Zhi Yuo, will this work?"

Zhi Yuo clucked, his eyes glancing at Yan Yan with a lazy look. A second later he flicked his hand in an annoyed tone out of his mouth.

"That's a bit of a mess! Just follow the flow!".

Yan Yan snorted, " Then what else should I do?".

When asked that, Zhi Yuo thought for a moment. The plan should have been tidy, but there wasn't enough evidence. So, he had an unexpected plan.

"You remember that house healer that last night treated Xie Jia? Bring her in through the back door, there's a time when she'll be out,".

.

.

.

Madam Fei's entourage had already approached Master Gu's residence.

A cheerful welcome from the husband was in sight. Mr. Gu sat in the living room in as neat clothes as possible. His intention was to make his wife gobsmacked by his appearance.

The stretcher stops right in front of the residence. Lady Fei came down gracefully. The brightly colored luxurious clothes typical of nobles wrapped his body. Even so she looks like a polite and thoughtful adult woman.

Lady Fei set her foot on the steps entering the residence. His arrival was warmly welcomed by Mr. Gu.

"Welcome, Fei," Master Gu revealed his warm smile. While Lady Fei looked at him coldly, but instantly he developed a faint smile on his lips. He sat next to Mr. Gu.

The welcome that day was quite good. Many waiters prepared good food. Mr. Gu was sure, he had already given his best to his wife. Moreover, the expensive cloth he bought had been prepared as a gift.

"You must be tired, eat something," Mr. Gu offered in a sweet tone full of warmth. She replied with a smile with Lady Fei.

"What about you? You want some tea? Let me make it," Lady Fei offered.

"Ah.. No, it makes you a hassle,"

"No problem, I'll have Lin Mei make it for you. I happen to be carrying the famous delicious tea powder from out of town,"

Madam Fei waved her hand towards Lin Mei who was standing not far away from them. Lin Mei responded, gracefully she approached Lady Fei and Master Gu.

"Mrs called me?"

"Please, make some warm tea for my husband. Oh, yeah, using the tea powder I brought on purpose,"

Hearing the order from Lady Fei, Lin Mei nodded, "Okay Madam,".

Without Master Gu noticing, the two women were staring at each other. Madam Fei gave a meaningful look, like a secret code between them. While Lin Mei nodded with her cynical smile.

Lin Mei left with a small hum, while Lady Fei sat quietly adorned with a small chat with her husband.

"To which extent we shall chat while your death draws near, "

Zhi Yuo stood at the very end of the crowd of maids who were still boisterously preparing food and lifting Madam Fei's belongings.

The corner of Zhi Yuo's lips lifted, forming a cruel grin. Now was a good time for him to run a chess piece.

.

.

.

Lin Mei came in a hurry. There was no tea in his hand. He approached Lin Mei without Mr. Gu's knowledge.

"Mrs.. How is this?" Lin Mei panicked, even so she kept her voice down.

Madam Fei's brows bent in wonder, "What's the matter?".

Lin Mei set her breath, she immediately approached Lady Fei and whispered in her ear.

"The medicine does not exist!"

When she heard those few words that were quite shocking, Lady Fei gasped in shock. How can the drug not exist.

"How can you?!" Lady Fei snapped, yet she still controlled her voice.

"S-I put it in the closet as usual, but-"

"Fei, what's wrong?"

Master Gu interrupted and it made the two of them flinch together. Lin Mei retreated nervously while Lady Fei gave her smile even though her heart was now not exactly calm.

"No, there's nothing" Madam Fei replied with a headband.

"Only the tea powder was not brought.." He continued in a lethargic tone. No, actually he lied.

Master Gu chuckled, "If for such a thing you don't need to be as sweet as Fei,"

Lady Fei nodded, she was speechless. While he thought about how his plan was this morning.

Zhi Yuo saw all of that from a distance. Here's time. With slow steps he walked through the crowd of servants.

"You might feel like you're missing the tea powder you brought," Zhi Yuo said loudly in front of everyone. The public's eyes were on him, including Lady Fei and Master Gu.

Madam Fei looked at him confusedly, "You mean?".

Zhi Yuo stopped right in front of the couple. While Master Gu looked at Zhi Yuo with a look of remembrance. Wasn't he the boy who was bought a few days ago? Why does it look different?.

Initially Zhi Yuo glanced at Madame Fei sharply. But before long he faced them perfectly with a fluffy innocent smile.

Zhi Yuo lowered his head with both hands cupped forward.

"I'm Zhi Yuo, the new servant at Master Gu's residence welcomes Lady Fei's arrival," Zhi Yuo introduced himself.

Lady Fei responded in silence. Seeing her innocent smile that seemed happy when welcoming him made her astonished and vigilant. Something's wrong with this kid.

"For the tea powder you brought from out of town..." Zhi Yuo hung up his sentence with his hands reaching into his clothing pocket.

With a happy grin he brought out something that surprised everyone.

"The tea powder is really here, please if you want to brew it for Mr. Gu~".

Lady Fei stood up, looking at Zhi Yuo with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"What the fuck?!" Lady Fei growled.

Zhi Yuo tilted his head with a smile that had yet to fade. Then he said casually, but those words left everyone in a nightmare.

"But for the drug later yes, if the medicine has been examined you can mix it in the tea,"
