On the bank of the river

Chapter 59 : Concern of outsider

Inside of a beautiful pavilion, several woman were enjoying their afternoon tea. The sky is turning into orange hue as they started discussing their endless topics .

Many were laughing , many were joking. Even though, many pretend to be nice for their this usual get together , still many were mocking inside their heart. As time passing by , different topics came out from their mouth. Their endless topics , makes others sigh in desperation. But no one dares to say a single comments towards this bunch of rich Madame ,after all making them someone's enemy means dragging someone's fate out from this capital.

" So , Madame Song .... I heard that your daughter finally returned back ?" Madame Wei asked out of nowhere. 

" Yes ." A beautiful smile bloom into Madame Song's face because of mention of her precious daughter. "Yes , she did actually. Lynn returned back several weeks ago ."

" Really ? Then why didn't you bring her out ? We want to meet her too ." One of the woman replied .

" Yes , Madame Song . You are really lucky. Having a daughter like Lynn, it's all luck ." Another woman stated as everyone nodded in her statement.

Madame Wei could not help herself but tightly grasp her tea cup. She heard that Madame Song family had a close relation with Empress dowager. It is just a rumour ! But she slightly felt unhappy. She already sent her daughter as a concubine of Emperor Lee. If somehow Empress accepted Madame Song's daughter too , it will be bad . No , she needs to do something for confirmation. If Lynn entered the harem , whole harem will be within her feet. Her daughter can not live under shadow of Lynn .

" Madame Song, your daughter is really talented. I heard that many suitable family already asked for her hand . If I'm right , your daughter reached her marriageable age too . You needs to prepare from this moment. I did the same with my daughter. " Madame Wei paused .

"Sigh , daughters were like that . They became someone else wife really fast . It's a shame that we can not hold them forever within our graps . When suitable family asked her hand for marriage, you should consider it ." With a forced smile Madame Wei remarked .

Hearing it , every woman stopped their talking and glanced at Madame Wei for her this direct statement . Getting such a situation ,Madame Song turned stiff suddenly. She looks raither nervous. Meanwhile .. looking at her direction , Madame Wei smiled secretly.

" Yes , it is a big matter . Madame Song, do ask me if you want some matchmaker. My cousin-in-laws son is a reputed business man . Their family is so prestigious among four empires. If you want I could asked him . He is really suitable for Lynn, I can assured it ." Someone replied .

Tightly giving a smile , Madame Song sipped her tea. Many woman started matchmaking her daughter, she felt nothing but anxious. No ,her Lynn deserved much better .

Her Lynn deserved to became the Empress.

Meantime, Madame Wei smiled secretly as she made Madame Song anxious.

As the sky turned more darker, everyone returned back.

The night life started and market seems getting busier. It started bustling with crowds of people. Vendors were shouting their products to draw the customers attention. The aromatic freshly cooked dishes came from the nearby food stalls , luring people from everywhere. Soon , the evening sky slowly turned into darkness of the night.

After arriving her courtyard, Madame Wei felt tired. Sigh , it's one of the longest day of her life.
