Kapitel 85: 85. Liu Mei and her plans
"Find them. If that old man said they are in that place you will be able to find them. She is like a shining sun. Early or later you will see light, just follow it and you'll find them."
Emperors face was white as he held her clothes in his hands and sniffled on it.
"Fine, I'll do that, but if you don't take care of your health and die, there will be no place for her to come back. Think about the child she carries. What do you want that child to do with his weak mother? They are coming in five years. That means in five years you must clean this place. If you can't do that..."
The young monk stood in front of him and shook his head. "The old man went into the cultivation room and let me handle worldly matters. I'll find her and watch over her. You do what you have to do."
He slowly walked out while Emperor finally realized his words. "Yes, five years. Wait for what? Son? It's a son? I wanted a cute daughter like she is. Sigh. Fine. Then let's start."
He slowly folded the dress and carefully put back into the box and rose his head.
The determination was written all over his face and when he stood in front of his ministers with new energy they signed in relief. But what they heard made them almost puke blood.
"Until my Empress does not back do not even think offering me anyone. Even after that do not think to do that. And even if she dies, do not think to do that. The girls in the palace will have to go get married or accept to live as windows for the rest of their lives. Those that stay will have to drink a potion that will leave them barren. I don't want them to 'accidentally' get pregnant and pull the story that I did it. Any servant who touch me sensually I will cut one or maybe even both hands. Those that try to give me some potions or similar to stimulate my senses will be torn apart in front of all servants and nobles. And I'll do that very often next few years. Let's see if any of you have foolish thoughts."
He was famous to be crazy, oh well then he shall be crazy. As they saw one of 'those' smiles on his face they knew he is in his unreasonable faze. And then he is most dangerous as well. They sighed.
He just became less cruel just before when Liu Mei was here. Should they find her and just bring her back? If she is the only one to calm this demon, maybe they have to hurry.
Soon many secret guards were sent everywhere to look for a woman, but how to find her? Where to look?
At the same time, Liu Mei already sat in her house and drank tea. She enjoyed the sunny weather as it rained for a few days.
They came and repaired the whole house and after she put inside the beds she brought she felt quite content.
"Miss, the message came from the other town. The storage is full again. Steward Kang asked what to do?" Hua Roulan held a letter from the Kang family.
"Send him a message he should just gather more. Hua Roulan let's go for a walk. I need to speak to Lao San. Xiao Ran, stay at home. You have been stressed lately. Get some rest and sleep. Is there anything we can bring you?"
Xiao Ran was actually busy like a bee last few days as she rearranged the whole house, of course with help of Hua Roulan. They didn't let Liu Mei even move a bit of thing, so she just could sit around and look at them.
She was actually full of energy bit when she saw Liu Mei's strict eyes she lowered her head.
"I say rest and mean rest. If I find you running around like crazy bee again, I'll punish you with something you hate to do." Her face had a large smile and Xiao Ran knew she will really do that.
"Yes, miss." Now she started thinking about what could she do.
Liu Mei and Hua Roulan just gave up. This child just thinks too much. She needs to relax.
On their way to Lao San, Liu Mei saw a cat with a litter of kittens and smiled. "Let us get them all. We don't have anyway any big animals."
Hua Roulan stilled. "We could get a few chickens and a dog."
"A puppy that can grow up with kittens?" She had a friend that had cats and dogs living together.
"Is that even possible?" Hua Roulan never saw cats and dogs living peacefully.
Coming near Lao San's house they heard loud voices and looked at each other.
"You promised to marry me. You said we would live forever together."
Lao San was seriously confused as he stared at the crazy woman.
"Who are you?"
His wife stood behind him and snickered, making Liu Mei and Hua Roulan astonished. What is this situation?
"Just a few days ago you came to my house and stayed there with me all the time."
Suddenly a voice could be heard on the side.
"Brother, how could you do that. Our Elders are on their way here to talk to you about this situation."
Drama? Hua Roulan turned her eyes towards Liu Mei and saw her shiny eyes looking at them with curiosity and excitement.
"Miss, he..." She wanted to say more but saw Liu Mei pressing her lips with fingers and stopped talking.
"There will be soon a bigger drama. Let us enter when the situation is good enough. Would they be easily left off if the Elders don't come? That person has or as on to make it big. Look, even his wife knows this is all just a big fat lie."
Hua Roulan saw Lao San's wife standing there with crossed arms and waiting for the next act. Even people around just shook their heads to such a bad act.
A while later, few older people slowly approached and saw the whole crowd of people watching the fun. But as it seems they planned to make it big.
"Lao San, by our family law you can't have no more than one wife. How could you have married this woman legally if you have one already? By our family law, the head of Lao family will be voted and given to someone else. "
Lao San just stood there and smiled. "Elders, did you forgot the law of head of the family. If you point fingers at head and accuse him without clear evidence, the family head can kick you out without the family name and erase you from the family book. Now continue."
Nice family law.
They stilled, but his brother started making trouble in fear that elders will pull back. This was his only chance.
"There is clear evidence. There are her name and your name on marriage papers and even your personal things in her house that clearly show that you went there. You can't deny that."
Liu Mei smiled and stepped slowly forward.
"This is interesting. When did you say Lao San was in your home?"
The woman saw simple attire on the woman and rose her head in defiance. "Whole last week. Every day he came to my home and every evening came back to her. He even promised to divorce her to be just with me. I might even carry his child, he can't back off now."
"Ohhhh. That is even more interesting..." She looked at the woman and then at Lao Elders.
"So he went every day LAST week to your home and stayed ALL day long with you, making new generations? Am I right?"
"Yes. And who are you?" The woman came near and saw her beautiful face.
Lao San's brother was a leecher, so he came closer making Hua Roulan stepped forward and pull out a knife. Seeing her eyes and knife he stepped back and his behind old people in fear.
"I am his contractor. Mister Lao San was whole last week in my house repairing it. He came with the whole crowd of people, so I am quite sure they will be his witnesses and not just me. It's interesting. Even Elders choose to get into this kind of scheme. With all the respect, what kind of Elders are you? I might not know him well, but these few days he showed that he is a hardworking person. But not my problem, Miss Lao today I came to visit you as I need your help. Can we talk?''
Lao San's wife bowed to everyone and let Liu Mei and Hua Roulan inside and just chuckled. " I can't believe they came to bother him only because of that piece of land. "
Liu Mei was curious. "I know I'm just an outsider, bit could you tell me what is going on?"
She pointed at the table and chairs that stood under the cherry tree. "It's not a big secret. One old aunt died and gave Lao San piece of land nearby. Its nothing there. Neither plants nor something. Just stones and few random bushes. I have no idea why are they attacking him."
Hua Roulan chuckled. "Because they probably have some information about that land. There must be something there if they want it so badly."
Liu Mei suddenly had an idea. "Your husband knows a few people in government. He can ask Commander Chen Li to investigate this matter. I don't think its simple thing we are talking about."
Soon Lao San came in and rubbed his temples. "This is getting more and more bothersome. Maybe I should just kick them out the family for good."
But then saw three women sitting there and smiling strangely at him. What is this now?
