Bab 44: Agreement (2)
It is a peaceful dusk in Li Mansion. The servants are doing their chores in quiet. Suddenly there is a loud cry from inside.
"Nooo! I don't want to eattt!!"
It's FangFang who seems angrily rejecting the food which has been prepared by Aunt Tong.
At the same time, Prince Li and TanTan has arrived at Li Mansion. When Prince Li goes down from the horse, he offers his hand to help TanTan goes down either. But in anger look, TanTan ignores his hand and goes down by herself although suddenly the horse moves and she lost balance so she must hold on Prince Li's hand to avoid falling down. In reflex, Prince Li also holds her both arms to keep her standing. Their eyes meet together but in a second later, TanTan takes off her hands immediately from Prince Li,
"I said I can go home by myself! No need to force me everytime!!!"
Prince Li feels irritated with TanTan's rejection,
"And giving you a chance to make another trouble? No, thank you.. don't you think that you can free to do anything you want, HuaMuTan! Now I see that I really can't put down my guard on you!"
"YangMuu...." Suddenly TanTan runs toward TanTan, hugging her from behind. Aunt Tong is chasing her behind and stops when she sees Prince Li and TanTan. She also gives a weird look for TanTan's cloth, 'What on earth was that woman doing in man's cloth like that?'
TanTan is also surprised, she turns to FangFang and pats her head,
"FangFang, what's wrong?" TanTan asks.
Prince Li looks to Aunt Tong, asking an explanation. Aunt Tong says in regret,
"FangFang XiaoJie doesn't eat yet since afternoon. I have prepared the dinner for her but she refused to eat..."
After hearing Aunt Tong's explanation, TanTan stares to FangFang in worry,
"What's wrong, FangEr? Why you don't want to eat? Are you feeling unwell?" TanTan touches FangFang's head to check either she is unwell or not, but her temperature feels normal for TanTan.
FangFang shakes her little head and looks back to TanTan,
"I am waiting for YangMu...and YiFu..."
Prince Li is also approaches FangFang, standing beside TanTan, staring confusedly to FangFang,
"Why are you waiting for us? Is there something you want to say to us?"
FangFang looks nervous and unsure, she seems afraid if Prince Li scolds her for what she says later. TanTan calms her,
"Its okay, you can tell YangMu, FangFang..."
With a shy look, FangFang downward her gaze and speaks slowly,
"I just...I just want to eat...with YangMu and YiFu again..."
TanTan blinks her eyes, 'That's it? She just want to eat with us?I thought there is something else'
"You just waiting for us to eat together?" TanTan repeats it to make sure, FangFang nods, she adds
"But Aunt Tong didn't let me wait. She even said that YangMu might not go home tonight..."
TanTan glances unpleased to Aunt Tong. Aunt Tong turns her face to other direction as her guilty respond. But then TanTan smiles to FangFang,
"Aunt Tong is just kidding with you... You see YangMu has back now right?....well, YangMu also feels hungry right now. Why don't we go inside and eat together?"
"YiFu also?" FangFang looks to Prince Li with a naive look makes Prince Li can't reject her request, he and TanTan glances to each other, as like they speaks through their eyes and agree to put down their argue for a while.
"Yeah, me too..." Prince Li answers shortly.
At once, FangFang's face becomes shines with big smile. FangFang is cheerful again and then immediately holds TanTan's hands to go inside the mansion together.
"Come..YangMu..."
"Wait...I need to change my cloth first..."
TanTan lets FangFang to guide her inside, while Prince Li just looking at both of them. Aunt Tong feels guilt so she approaches Prince Li,
"Forgive me, Young Master... I heard what happened in the town so I carelessly speaks to FangFang XiaoJie like that...I don't expect FangFang XiaoJie will so upset with my words..."
Prince Li glances to Aunt Tong and has a little sighs,
"Aunt Tong, I know you don't like HuaMuTan since beginning she came to here but please be careful to speak words about her especially in front of FangFang..."
Aunt Tong nods to show her regrets, " I know...I won't say anything careless again next time...but still if this old woman may to speak honest here, I don't think it is good to let FangFang too close with Young Madam! We never know when her real face will show up!"
After giving her opinion, she excuses herself politely to prepare dinner.
'Her real face huh? Yeah, I should not put down my guard toward her...These all confusing acts of her might be just for temporary...?! For now, I just need to keep my eyes on her..." Prince Li then walks toward the dinner room.
But not too long ManQi has arrived to at the Mansion and the noise of his horse makes Prince Li stops and turns to check. He is also notices that ManQi rushes to approach him. ManQi immediately gives the urgent report to Prince Li,
"The First Prince has returned from the battle with a victory"
Prince Li takes the report seriously coz at once his face turns hard,
"I see...ok, we talk it later" Prince Li notices another thing, "But why do you come back alone? Where is XiaoRue?"
"Xiao Rue is a accompanying Ms QingQing to come here. She said Young Madam invites her to stay at Li Mansion for a while..." ManQi doesn't know either this news bother Prince Li or not so he observes Prince Li's face.
"That woman really...she even didn't ask me first!!"It turns out Prince Li is irritated with the news, he enters the mansion with grumpy. ManQi doesn't dare to say anything else but follows him inside.
