Chapter 51: Returning to the Fu for a Visit

"Master?" asked Yin Xue. Yao Mowan made a dismissive wave and Yin Xue respectfully withdrew.

"Moxin, are you well up there in the sky? You're so heartless, to say leave and then just leave. You weren't even willing to meet with Junqing one last time. Didn't you say, that night in Water Ripple Pavilion, that you liked the sound of Junqing's flute? Didn't Junqing promise you that Junqing would play a song for you at the next family feast? Why didn't you wait for Junqing? It's been forty-nine days. Do you know how these days have been for Junqing? They have felt even worse than death! Moxin, don't worry, Junqing won't harm the people you care about even if Junqing dies. It's just... is he worth it? Oh, and almost forgot, your younger sister is really a troublesome person. She's clearly not dumb, yet her acting is more convincing than one could believe. Even you were probably fooled! Junqing really wonders if you two were born from the same mother. That personality..."

"The grand Esteemed Prince of great Chu is actually trash talking about others behind their backs? Wang ye's personality doesn't seem to be any better than Mowan's ah!" Yao Mowan suddenly interrupted Ye Junqing's words as she slowly walked forward.

"How could you be here?" Ye Junqing turned upon hearing her voice, his facial color changing abruptly.

"That's why I say not having martial arts doesn't matter. What's important is to have a good hidden guard. Yin Xue, am I right?" Yao Mowan ignored Ye Junqing's murderous look and slightly lifted her chin.

"Thank you, Master, for your praise." Yin Xue's voice floated out but one could not locate where it came from.

"Damned Yan Nansheng!" Ye Junqing suddenly felt a strong desire to go grab Yan Nansheng right now and beat him up. Right at this moment, Yao Mowan suddenly moved up and extinguished the joss paper next to Ye Junqing. Her expression was cold and indifferent.

"What are you doing!?" Ye Junqing abruptly pushed Yao Mowan aside and picked up the rolled torch.

火折子 – "rolled torch" old Chinese torch made by rolling several layers of paper. After lighting it, you blow on it until the flame is extinguished so that it burns with a red faint light. It can last for a long time and you only need to blow on it to make it light up again.

"Does wang ye think everyone in the Imperial Palace is blind? Just entering Changle Palace is a crime punishable by death. Now, you're even offering sacrificial rites for Eldest Sister in this absolutely unrestrained manner. There will definitely be rumors in the palace tomorrow. Let's see, en, the rumors will say that Eldest Sister and wang ye's virtues are stained as they secretly had immoral relationships. Perhaps the fetus that died due to a difficult birth was not a dragon fetus at all but Eldest Sister and wang ye's bastard child..."

Slap... Yao Mowan felt stinging heat come from her face. Clear, shocking imprints of fingers appeared. Yin Xue immediately appeared and was about to act. However, Yao Mowan signaled for her to withdraw.

"How could you insult Moxin like this!? She's your older sister!" Ye Junqing's hardened eyes were like those of a fierce tiger's as they emitted faint cold light. Yao Mowan took all this in and her own bright eyes flickered.

"This is simply the outcome of wang ye burning joss paper, wang ye should think things through." Yao Mowan's expression didn't change at all. Then, she turned and left. Her slender figure seemed exceptionally desolate. Ye Junqing will never know that the moment Yao Mowan turned around, she started crying. Tears soaked her cheeks as her heart shattered into ice shreds.
