I Am This Type of Woman

Chapter 98

“Father, Mother,” After seeing off the Palace eunuchs, Ban Heng turned a bewildered face to the family, “What is it with His Majesty recently. He keeps sending things, he has too many good stuff?”

“Is it because we let Xie family use our doctors?” Ban Huai was even more confused than his son. Emperor Yunqing was touched by the gratitude memorial he sent on behalf of Rong Xia, but not to this point. Why was it that these two days he kept stuffing them with gifts?

“Master, This Little One heard,” Ban Huai’s long-term attendant trotted in, “That His Majesty doesn’t just reward us. Marquis Cheng’an has also been gifted non-stop. Everyone says the two families are being favoured.”

“When has our family not been in favour?” Ban Huai waved to dismiss the servants, he was vaguely anxious. His Majesty had always been kind to them but not to this level. Sending gifts everyday was like trying to prove to everyone how good he was to them.

“His Majesty doesn’t treat Xie family this well.” Ban Heng hesitated, “How could he be. Heard that even with this big incident, His Majesty and the Empress only sent messengers twice, and what they received was less than half of ours.”

“Sis, did you say something to His Majesty last time that he becomes so good to us?” Ban Heng turned to Ban Hua. Recently his sister has been too idle at home, when she saw the pretty things made by the embroidery girl, she wanted to learn too, not sure what’s in her head.

After a few days she still barely knew how to hold the needle or to handle the threads, her creation was not worthy to look at. If not because he happened to see it, he would not know his sister was this bored.

“Nothing.” Her left index finger was still sore, she has not been listening to what Ban Heng said, but at this point she paused a little before saying, “How if I send someone to Marquis Cheng’an’s residence to ask. Maybe he did something that makes His Majesty treat us differently.”

“Possibly.” Ban Huai nodded in agreement, twisted to Yin-shi, “Furen, what do you think?”

Yin-shi nodded slowly, “En, it’s good to ask.”

The doorstep of Marquis Cheng’an residence was almost flat from being stepped on by endless streams of people, not only eunuchs bearing rewards from the Palace, but also other people visiting with gifts. Those people disappeared when Rong Xia was injured, Rong Xia did not resent it but they could not expect a warm welcome either. However, noone blamed him for it, and quite the contrary, they flattered him more and more like he was a deity or a saint.

A Ban family guard arrived when Rong Xia was talking to his retainer Wang Qu. At the servant’s report, Rong Xia told Wang Qu, “Wait a moment.”

Wang Qu watched Rong Xia rushing out with a slight worry. He admitted that Ban Hua was an excellent woman, but Master towards Fule Junzhu was a bit too much. Nothing wrong with a gentleman liking a beauty, but the beauty should not be the man’s hindrance.

So eager just to see a Ban servant, how would he be if the Junzhu herself has been at the door?

Rong Xia’s face was relaxed in front of the Ban guard, “Your family’s Junzhu sent you here, is there a matter?”
