Ch. 81-Bold offer.

"Mother is okay, ahemmm.what brings you to visit on a night like this," Hua Mulan said, and stared at the window of her room.

"Mother.grandmother is dead" said Li Buya and lowered her sorrowful face, and began to tell her about the painful death.

A drop of tears came out without being noticed by Hua Mulan, the two fingers clenched tightly, his eyes closed his forehead wrinkled like feeling so much pain, her thin neck muscles look and move a little like swallowing a thorn, there is no word out for a while, and when her eyes open her cold face again looks like she was not the woman she was before.

"Pacify yourself Li Buya, grandma it's time to die, don't waste your energy to grieve, go back to your room, in a few days you will take the exam you have to go back to the academy," hua Mulan said so coldly.

"Mother?"

"plakkkkk..," a slap across the young man's face, made him speechless.

"Your grandmother would not be proud in her nature just because she saw us crying, go back to your room" Hua Mulan said

Li Buya wiped his tears, he said,

"Well mother, but grandfather wants you to meet someone" said Li Buya and left the place, and not long after Zhi Yuan entered the room.

The woman looked coldly at Zhi Yuan there were some questions in the woman's mind. Zhi Yuan bowed respectfully to the older man.

"Follow me! it is not good for me that a married woman receives a foreign man in an enclosed room, and it is also night," Hua Mulan said and stepped into the garden behind her residence, some maidservants carrying lanterns stood with their heads bowed not far from the two.

"Tell me what my father wants?" ask Hua Mulan.

Zhi Yuan nodded, and took out a badge but before Zhi Yuan took out all Hua Mulan had already spoken

"Put it back in," Hua Mulan said her cold face looked so tense.

Zhi Yuan who knew the object was so incar put it back into his robe.

"Come to the big temple at the end of the street in two days, and pass this identifier to one of the Monks in that place, now go the waiter will take you to a special room for guests," hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan looked at Zhi Yuan's back which was between the servants.

****

Tomorrow night a party was being held in Li's residence, noble guests and royal relatives were present, Zhi Yuan was just sitting on the steps of his room staring at the guests. And it was seen Li Zhen Chan welcoming his guests so kindly, and like people were still influential in the Qing empire.

Hua Mulan looks so graceful by wearing purplish-red clothes as a symbol of the oldest woman in the family even though her face looks so young, her hair in the typical loop of married women, she said, with a little hair jewelry, long earrings and a small bracelet on her thin hands making her clean skin even more radiant, the woman was too conspicuous with her brightness, and made the other woman look dull.

"What's skinny? my wife is so heavy, you see," said Li Zhen Chan, trying to lift Hua Mulan's waist and the woman slapped her husband's chest to lower it, everyone laughed not in response to Li Zhen Chan's stupid laugh, but in awe at the woman who could maintain her beauty despite already having a son.

Prince Qing Fan was also seen present, his eyes were so admiring the woman he had loved so much since his teens, he approached Liu Bing Yan's daughter just for the sake of being able to get close to Hua Mulan.

The young man was never far away from Hua Mulan, always trying to cling and prepare whatever she needed, yet the woman was so busy accompanying some women who were as classy as her, yet she was so busy accompanying him, yet nothing compares to his indahan,

"Sister Hua, the Emperor is always asking for your news" whispered a woman who was a royal relative.

Hua Mulan's face remained calm, only smiling faintly, she said,

"Dadik don't talk carelessly, Her Majesty's friend Queen is a lot in this place," whispered Hua Mulan's face still facing forward.

"hihihi.. I am your friend since childhood, you are 100 more graceful than the queen, everyone knows if the Queen of this empire is actually you, hihihi.." said the woman.

"if you're my friend, you shouldn't have joked about such a thing, already enjoyed his party, I should have welcomed Minister Huang's wife," hua Mulan said and left behind some women who so wanted to look like that woman.

And when almost everyone had gone home then Hua Mulan sat down from exhaustion, the woman rubbed the sweat on her forehead and beautiful neck with the back of her hand.

"Aunt Hua, I brought you a present" said prince Qing Fan carrying some rare mountain ginseng.

"You don't have to be so bothered by the prince, you've always brought me lots of gifts, thank you" Hua Mulan said with a smile to taste, and greeted some guests who were preparing to go home.

Prince Qing Fan sat near Hua Mulan and held her fingers, Liu Bing Yan who stepped nearby only smiled by shaking his head like he did not care.

Hua Mulan nodded, and looked at the face of the charismatic man,

"Prince Qing Fan the party is almost over, even dim is okay, well aunt should accompany your uncle," Hua Mulan said, his eyes stared at Zhi Yuan who was scratching his forehead sitting with the smiling Li Buya staring at a young lady not far from them.

Hua Mulan followed the direction of the eyes of the two teenagers, and found her second target, a noble Princess Chen, a middle-class noble living on the outskirts of the capital, the one that night looks upset at being at a party that seems to show off the wealth.

And that morning Zhi Yuan did as Hua Mulan commanded, the blind morning the young man had already slipped into the temple, and with his disguise ability at the east gate the young man hid on the roof of the temple. A servant from the Li family residence was seen running and being greeted by a monk, Zhi Yuan began to concentrate on his hearing, and stared intently at the lip movements of the servant who was not so far away from her.

"Today Mrs Li will come, use all her strength when it's visible, don't kill anyone before it's really in our hands" the maid said.

That morning Hua Mulan looked the same as yesterday, her hair in the back, leaving only a small part of the bangs covering a little below her, a beautiful face with a haughty mimic making her noble class so visible, as well as the dark colored elegant clothes make her, like a woman who is not touched by a man carelessly, and the use of a little jewelry on her body makes a smart impression so attached to the woman, she is very, right now even the Emperor family would think if faced with such a woman.

The beautiful woman was already seen in front of the medicinal tavern not far from the temple and Zhi Yuan pulled her arm making the woman shocked, having already recognized Zhi Yuan the woman had the waiter wait and the woman walked into the medicine shop and slipped backwards through the backyard and the two continued to move until they were on the outskirts of the lake so quiet, there are only a few fishermen doing their activities in the middle of the lake.

Zhi Yuan looked around, and found out that he had not managed to outwit the scouts.

"You're so slow Madam" said Zhi Yuan who knew 10 people were around.

"Hua Mulan's face looked tired, the woman rubbed the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand.

"What is the point of all this, explain it or you will die at my hands" said the woman so angry.

"You have so many enemies Madam Li, they are not real Monks" said Zhi Yuan.

Hua Mulan smiled coldly.

"Let's just say I believe all your bullshit, well I'm not playing right now, give me that thing and go" Hua Mulan said.

Zhi Yuan frowned as if he was thinking, if he gave it now then the woman would be killed,

"I'm sorry madam I'm not bringing in now" said Zhi Yuan.

"Don't bring her?" the woman said in disbelief, looking fixedly at Zhi Yuan.

Zhi Yuan shook his head, some scouts were getting closer.

"The badge belongs to me, and I won't hand it over to anyone" Zhi Yuan said.

"uh yeah.." Hua Mulan laughed like scorn, like disbelief.

"i think my dad picked the right person in this important matter, but you're still like most people.well I get it, how much do you need?" hua Mulan asked, looking into the young man's eyes deeply expressionless.

The height of 180 centi made the woman's face not too far away from Zhi Yuan's face.

"Money? just keep that demon thing for you, I won't hand over the badge" Zhi Yuan said.

Hua Mulan closed her eyes,

"If you wanted the badge from the beginning, you wouldn't bother coming to see me, well it looks like you don't want money, so what do you want? don't you want my body?" hua Mulan asked in a voice that became quiet.

Hua Mulan's rude remark made Zhi Yuan smile as he shook his head,

"This is good, the more he gets angry it will make the lookout even more confused, I just need to heat up this madam a bit," Inner Zhi Yuan.

"Looking at you so easily offering your body, I think you've gotten used to doing this kind of thing" said Zhi Yuan, raising one end of his eyebrows as challenging as well as demeaning as the woman.

Hua Mulan laughed, and gazed around, those sensual lips closing in with one eyebrow raised as well, just like Zhi Yuan did.

"Listen... I don't care what's on your mind, are you challenging me? all right here so quiet, do you want to do it in this place? I can handle it very much," said the woman expressionlessly and getting closer towards Zhi Yuan making the young man take a few steps back.
