Chapter 116: Encounter at Huan Sha City

At mǎoshí (5a.m – 7a.m) on the first day of the third lunar month, the sun had jutted above the trees, forecasting that today was going to be a nice day.

After bidding farewell to everyone in and out of the house, as well as the villagers in town, the two carriages, carrying a group of seven adults and two infants, headed towards the North.

If they took the main road to Feng Cheng, the imperial city, they had to cross four cities and thirteen towns.

From the countryside, then Fan Luo City, the first rest point was at Huan Sha City. They arrived at wǔshí (10am-1pm), so Lin Si Yao requested the driver to find a restaurant nearby for lunch.

"Shifu! Shiniang!" Before anyone had gotten off the carriage, a familiar voice sounded from the doors of 'Xue's Liquor Shop'.

"Shifu, Shiniang, I know you guys will pass by today." Tian Da Bao smiled, stood and took Lin Long from Bai He. He winked at his innocent junior sister, then lifted his head to smile at the approaching Situ Yun.

"Da Bao, we haven't seen you for months. You look taller. You really have become an adult now." Su Shuilian smiled as she observed the slender young man in front of her. He had matured, it was as if one of her children had all grown up.

"Auntie, don't be fooled by his appearance. Actually, the blood clot in his head hasn't dissolved completely. He still has his moments." Situ Yun sniggered, placing his arms around Tian Da Bao's shoulder.

In front of Lin Si Yao, Situ Yun didn't dare to joke and call Su Shuilian as 'beautiful sister' anymore. He hadn't forgotten the strict punishment he got last time when he enraged Si Ling! He had to collect horse dung! And then, he had to bury them to make some fertilizer. His Senior Uncle had tortured him for the whole three days. He's now learned to behave.

"Alright, don't linger at the door." After Lin Si Yao had arranged the carriage, he gathered with them. Taking Lin Xiao in Su Shuilian's hand, he pulled her into the restaurant.

"Oh! Shifu, is that..." Tian Da Bao was teasing and nudging Situ Yun behind Lin Si Yao. All of a sudden, he strode toward Lin Si Yao, pointing at a girl sitting by the window.

Lu Wan'er! Lin Si Yao squinted. He shifted his gaze to Tian Da Bao, as if warning, 'Don't (you) dare make trouble!'

'Of course, not!' Tian Da Bao nodded. He was no longer the careless Tian Da Bao, who would do anything without thinking. Moreover, Shifu and Shiniang didn't pay attention to her, it was not his place to cause trouble!"

Bai He asked the shopkeeper for a private room. However, they didn't have any available rooms. Begrudgingly, they seated at the two tables by the south window, which were, coincidentally, next to Lu Wan'er's table.

Su Shuilian was focused on the twins. She didn't notice the other.

However, right after they seated, Lu Wan'er noticed Lin Si Yao. She had yearned for this man, but he was also the culprit to her foolishness and punishment for half a year.

Lu Wan'er had almost broken the pair of bamboo chopsticks in her hand. Right, she got her mind back. She had recovered well. She wasn't a fool anymore. And, she couldn't return to Fan Luo City where she was forced to leave. This city had no place for her to dwell. If she returned, either she was forgotten, or someone would dig up her humiliated past. If so, she would rather stay in Huan Sha City, where no one could recognize her as the Eldest Young Lady of the Lu Family.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she was about to start her new, more glorious life...

She happened upon the man who was crueler than the devil.
