章節 13: I Don't Know If Someone Has Died In This House Before
編輯: Dragon Boat Translation
Chu Yunyao returned to the bridal chamber in the Moon Pavilion. She sat in front of the mirror, untied her belt, and checked where she had been pinched.
It was a very clear five-fingered mark, with a large red and swollen area on her shoulder. It was burning.
This man's marksmanship was superb and not inferior to hers.
And his skills were far above hers. In a bare-handed fight, she could not gain any advantage.
Mo Lingyuan still had a faint smell of herbs, similar to those used to treat bruises. Was he injured?
However, for an injured person to be so agile and swift, only her brother and father, who stayed in the 22nd century, could be so powerful. She had grown up under the love of her father and brother since she was young. Her marksmanship was perfect, but her skills had not reached her brother's level.
Mo Lingyuan was not someone to be messed with. From now on, she would try her best not to provoke him.
Just as she was about to use a cold towel to cover her shoulders, the butler opened the curtain from the outside, "Madam, this is…"
When he looked up and saw Chu Yunyao's unbuttoned clothes and exposed shoulders, the fat butler let out an "Aiyo" and immediately turned around, "My bad. I didn't knock on the door and offended you. Please accept my apology."
Do not look if not permitted.
In such hot weather, Chu Yunyao was used to wearing a spaghetti strap dress in her previous life. Now, she was wearing a tube top, and the outer shirt only revealed a little of her shoulders. She did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Moreover, although Chu Yunyao was already fifteen, her body had not developed due to long-term malnutrition. Her small body was thin like a washboard, unlike a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.
Therefore, Chu Yunyao did not panic at all. She calmly sat on the edge of the bed with the back of the big red mandarin duck and said in neither a fast nor a slow tone, "It's okay, uncle. Who is this old oldy beside you?"
Nanny Rong had a pair of slanted eyes. Her gaze fell on Chu Yunyao's dark and ugly face. She looked her up and down with strange eyes.
The old lady introduced herself in a high and mighty tone, "I'm Nanny Rong, the Military Governor's wife's servant. The Military Governor's wife was afraid that you do not know the rules and customs since you are new, so she asked me to come over and teach you."
"The Military Governor's wife had planned to come over personally, but she could not leave her husband, so she had no choice but to ask me to come."
Chu Yunyao finally understood. These words were appropriate, but Nanny Rong's high and mighty attitude disgusted her.
Since Mo Lingyuan had allowed the trusted aide of the Military Governor's wife to enter the Young Marshal's Mansion, he might have wanted to kill her with other people's hands.
After thinking about this, Chu Yunyao threw the towel in her hand onto the chair, gathered her clothes, and smiled, "I'm just a girl from the countryside and don't understand the rules of the Young Marshal's Mansion. I've troubled the Military Governor's wife, so I hope you forgive me."
The butler was happy to see this happen. He pointed at the side hall, "Nanny Rong, you'll be staying next to Young Madam's new house so you can teach her in time."
Nanny Rong thought of Mo Lingyuan's cruelty, and her heart trembled. She asked awkwardly, "Will it be inconvenient for the Marshal to spend the night here?"
"No, the Young Marshal lives in the Star Storage Building in the front courtyard."
In other words, the Young Marshal did not like his bride and would not return to the Moon Pavilion.
Nanny Rong had been engaged in scheming for a long time. She immediately understood the butler's words and relaxed.
Chu Yunyao added faintly, "It's great that granny is here with me. Last night, I seemed to have heard crying in the side hall. I went in to look for it, but there was no one. I wonder if anyone has died in this house before?"
