Travel To The World Of Ca Li
The Surprising Punishment
Hai Bing frowned in confusion because this was such an unexpected order. Doesn't the Great Lord love Miss so much that whatever mistake she makes, Miss will be tolerated by her?
After all, all this time their Miss was famous for being so wise. How could he possibly make a mistake to the point of being confined within the ancestral hall?
Xiu Qixuan's face was empty, he was similarly shocked when he heard it; "Wait a minute, father—" paused.
"Xuan'er has sinned against Guifei niang niang's goodwill. As a General of Besar—aku very shy. So Hi Bing, you heard me, didn't you?" Xiu Haocun growled sharply towards Hai Bing, he was at the peak of his severe frustration.
Hai Bing immediately moved obediently and drew closer to Xiu Qixuan; "Great Lady, please come this way.." she said with one hand outstretched politely allowing Xiu Qixuan to follow her.
Xiu Qixuan smiled wryly and sighed sharply saying; "Haa... How surprising. All right, Hi Bing. I'm tired too. Please show me the way." He let out a disappointed look and shook his head in disbelief at the father.
Xiu Haocun preferred this kind of way to dodge instead of fighting back.
Before actually turning around to leave, Xiu Qixuan turned her face to look at Chu Yu with an implied look as if she wanted to say and confirm something from the middle-aged woman.
Chu Yu who had since been so calm had only glanced at him a glance before returning to throw a glance. He seemed to not dare to look at her for longer because he could feel the deadly pressure from the eyes that Xiu Qixuan had.
After Xiu Qixuan completely disappeared away from behind the door.
Wei Guifei's laughing voice rang out sharply, he glanced lazily at Xiu Haocun; "Hoho, your Great General is trying to hide your clever and charming daughter again. I wonder how long it'll last."
Then Wei Guifei immediately got up and walked towards the exit followed by Xiu Yue and Chu Yue. "It's not interesting anymore. But, think carefully of my offer of taking care of your daughter when she'll be in the Palace." He spoke in a serious tone.
Xiu Haocun did not reply and simply bowed respectfully; "Introducing the departure, Guifei niang niang."
Along the corridor path of Xiu Residence. Looking at Xiu Qixuan who was wrinkling her face, she was so annoyed that it felt like she wanted to explode.
"Ughs... I don't understand, really!" He clutched his fist so hard. Trying to normalize his passionate emotions.
Hai Bing who saw that just shook his head and said; "The Great General just wants to protect you, Miss."
Xiu Qixuan snorted violently with a glance of eyes as sharp as a blade; "You really think that? Do you think I should be up to when I'm in his protection?"
Hai Bing's mouth was tightly clenched. Suddenly at a loss for words. That's right, Miss doesn't need this kind of extreme protection. After all, Miss is so great and has the ability.
Xiu Qixuan's eyes were dark as the night sky. His face was bent when clucking; "tsk... Getting married or not is my business! Why is everyone so bothered?!" he said so loudly that the servants on the side of the corridor immediately lowered their faces pretending not to listen to anything.
Hai Bing's face twitched trying to hold back the laughter of looking at the miss who was pouring out her heart's irritation.
Then Xiu Qixuan turned her face abruptly towards Hai Bing. "I want to go to Da'ge's Courtyard to meet Yuheng" he said urging flatly.
Hai Bing replied straightforwardly; "Can't, Miss. The great general ordered to send Miss to the ancestral hall."
Xiu Qixuan's face grew duller. "What am I supposed to do there?"
"Worship and copy the book of sutras for the ancestors." Hi Bing replied.
Xiu Qixuan suddenly laughed coldly and muttered in a slant; "Damn... Is this called karma that comes by chance? Know it? I escaped leaving Er'ge at the temple because I didn't want to do everything you call it."
Xiu Qixuan's face returned flat with a straight look ahead. It's more normal than ever. But, Hai Bing instead felt even more depressed because of his radiance.
"Hi Bing's..."
"Yes, Miss?"
"When did Xiu Yue have her wedding?"
"It happened in early spring. The second miss married the mayor's son suddenly but so lively. Until Guifei niang niang came straight from the capital to give his nephew a special congratulations." Hai Bing replied straightforwardly.
Xiu Qixuan's tangled look made people who saw her goosebumps. He formed an annoyed smile; "Hoh, Wei Guifei's virtue and glory are so extraordinary. Traveling far away just to congratulate the wedding."
It is clear that it is a form of sharp satirical sentences.
It's easy to understand. Wei Guifei's goal to Ping'an City was to hold the hands of the Xiu Family first compared to anyone.
The imperial edict for Xiu Qixuan had yet to truly arrive. But, the woman had already come to seduce by offering protection for him in the Palace.
Wei Guifei like her gained so much trust from the Emperor because she was able to exit the Palace to visit distant relatives without having any suspicions.
Really Xiu Qixuan did not know how many single princes in the country to marry. The lineage of nobles and empires was too much to study to the point of making her fed up.
He did not want to enter the Palace but the dagger that would cause destruction for the Ca Li Land was within the grasp of Emperor Shen Zhenning. So, should he try?
The ancestral hall was so quiet. There was only the sound of a small, noisy insect outside. The red glow of the candle twinkled following the whistling wind that blew from behind the window slit.
Moonlight shone on Xiu Qixuan's face which looked slightly pale-white.
His body was already covered in a thick robe but the ancestral hall had a colder and moist air.
Xiu Qixuan stretched out her tingling hands. Paper and ink were scattered everywhere as he tried to quickly clear the copy.
Bruck...
Can't take it anymore. Xiu Qixuan threw her forehead on the table with her arms bent down dimly.
Suddenly there was a loud noise coming from the open door. Xiu Qixuan immediately turned her face and saw Xiao Rou who was walking around sneaking around carrying a warm snack.
"My angel, Xiao Rou! Finally you came.." His hands were stretched out with a dramatic glaze.
Xiao Rou immediately approached by putting her index finger over her lips and whispered softly; "Don't speak too loudly, Miss. I came silently by giving two guards in front of the wine and the silver tael."
"Good, you know well the power of money." Xiu Qixuan who was shivering immediately took the teacup. "What's the situation outside? Did da'ge and Yunmei jiejei already know that I was back and inside the Residence?" He raised his head and seriously asked.
Xiao Rou said with a dissatisfied snort of annoyance. "You came back without saying anything. And end up in brackets like this. How can it still be so relaxing? I just found out when the waiters talk about your vices."
