In the funeral hall, Ye Hong Yi stood with his hands folded, his dark as midnight pupils fixated on the coffin for a long time before he turned to leave.
“Mother, Su Luan will leave first to accompany His Majesty. You only have to endure a bit longer. A while later, after the ministers kowtow you can just assign a servant girl to keep watch beside the coffin.” At the left side of the mourning hall, Yao Su Luan saw Ye Hong Yi leave and immediately flung off the plain white hemp garment while exhorting in a low tone.
“Don’t worry, Mother knows what should be done. I’ve already endured through the time she was alive, would I make a mistake at this point?” Dou Xiang Lan nodded as she replied.
Leaving the mourning hall, Yao Su Luan looked all over the front courtyard but didn’t find Ye Hong Yi’s figure, so she hurried to the back courtyard to search. Compared to the noisy front courtyard, the back courtyard seemed extremely silent.
Ye Hong Yi leaned against the jade arch bridge alone, his unfathomably deep pupils indifferently looked at the variety of koi in the jade pond. His lips briefly curled into an unclear curve, this was the place where he had once met Yao Mo Xin. That time, Yao Mo Xin was feeding the fish here and almost fell, it was him that saved her just in time.
Mo Xin, how zhen wishes you could have been a bit dumber. Even pretending to be dumb would be good. But, you know, your wisdom and farsightedness made zhen feel as if it was impossible to hide, it made zhen feel that zhen led an ignoble and useless life! Zhen is really tired, zhen doesn’t like that sort of feeling! Yao Mo Xin, it was you that easily stepped zhen‘s intelligence under your feet and treaded on it! So you deserved to die!
“Your Majesty, so you were here. You sure didn’t make it easy for this qie to find you.” Yao Su Luan’s emergence interrupted Ye Hong Yi’s thoughts.
“Zhen really doesn’t want to see that lowly woman even for a second, even if it’s her ashes.” Ye Hong Yi controlled the loathing in the depths of his eyes and turned his gaze towards Yao Su Luan. Please do not copy or host elsewhere.
“This qie knows Your Majesty does not like it. This qie also feels ashamed to have that sort of sister. It is rare to have such a benevolent monarch, to be even willing to give her an honorable funeral, she must have had several lifetimes worth of good luck.” Yao Su Luan’s cloudy pupils abruptly flashed as she resentfully spoke.
“Your Majesty, it looks like it’s about to rain. How about this qie accompanies you back to the room? If you don’t like, it’s fine if this qie accompanies you back to the palace.” Seeing Ye Hong Yi silent, Yao Su Luan’s cherry lips slightly curved, both her hands wrapped around Ye Hong Yi’s arm as she coquettishly suggested.
“In order to not break the ancestral custom, zhen will stay one night in Xiang fu. It’s been a difficult day, zhen is also tired, let us head to your room to rest.” Ye Hong Yi indifferently spoke. Yao Su Luan was naturally uncontrollably happy and immediately pulled Ye Hong Yi towards Plum Pavilion.
Until the footsteps gradually grew far away, only then did Yao Mo Wan walk out with heavy steps from behind the fake hill. Seeing Ye Hong Yi and Yao Su Luan’s figures gradually grow indistinct, Yao Mo Wan only felt as if her chest was being cruelly drilled into by an awl, until it was broken to pieces. After it ached until numbness, all that was left was hate.
“Miss, those ministers in the front hall all left. Big Madam has returned to the Bamboo Wish Pavilion, lao ye is resting in the front hall and Liu Xing’s side has finished all their preparations.” After spotting Yao Mo Wan next to the fake hill, Yue Ting steadily walked over and reported in a low voice.
“Tell Liu Xing to carry out everything according to plan.” The light voice carried bone-chilling cold. Yao Mo Wan’s beautiful pupils abruptly flashed coldly, her lips curled into a slight, ice-cold curve.
Inside the Bamboo Wish Pavilion, Dou Xiang Lan laid down on the chair, straining to take the tea cup Ping Zhi handed over. Please do not copy or host elsewhere.
“During her life she obstructed my sight, even after death she doesn’t let me rest. I had to waste my time keeping watch beside her coffin the entire day, I couldn’t even drink a sip of water. Seriously wretched luck! Hit over here, this leg is so sore I can’t even lift it anymore!” Dou Xiang Lan fiercely drank a mouthful of tea as she complained.
“Big Madam, quell your anger. In any case this is the last time. In the future, whether it’s Mo Wan or Yao Mo Xin, they won’t ever appear in front of Madam again.” Ping Zhi half squatted as she massaged Dou Xiang Lan’s leg and attentively placated her. Please do not copy or host elsewhere.
“En, if I think about this, my heart does feel a bit better. It’s just that as long as Yao Mo Wan doesn’t die, I won’t be able to breath freely.” Dou Xiang Lan slowly leaned her body against the chair, her red phoenix eyes ruthlessly narrowed.
“Big Madam, when do you plan on dealing with that imbecile?” Yu Xuan asked.
“You also heard what lao ye said that day in the main hall, we’ll wait a few days before discussing it again. Ah, that’s right, did those hoodlums hand over Yu Xing?” Dou Xiang Lan suddenly recalled her little darling and immediately sat up and asked.
“Replying Big Madam, the hired thugs we sent over caught them and beat them half to death but still couldn’t get Lou gongzi‘s whereabouts out of them. This servant reckons that they really don’t know.” Ping Zhi surmised.
“Even if they don’t know don’t let them off easy. Tell the subordinates to move swiftly and quietly dispose of them. A perfectly living person, how could you guys be unable to find him!? Send some more people to search! It was rare for me to finally find someone so close to me in this lifetime, I couldn’t bear it if something happens to him!” Dou Xiang Lan’s slender willow leaf brows slightly knitted as she spoke anxiously.
