“Shifu.”
“Xiao Li, you’ve come.” Hu Yi Jian’s spirit was somewhat not good. Today’s matter was quite a blow to him.
“Shifu, sorry, it’s all my fault, if not for me………” Du Xiao Li said blaming herself.
“This isn’t your fault.” Today’s matter, you can already be considered lenient. In the Grand Empress Dowager’s room, you are completely able to have this matter revealed. After all, Nuo’er wanted to harm you.
“But if not for me, Nuo’er wouldn’t be like this.” Du Xiao Li heard a saying before, even if you don’t do anything, your existence is also a kind of influence. If she didn’t exist, Fan Nuo’er right now would still be the Medicine King Valley’s princess.
But someone already wants her life, it was impossible for her to not counter! Not having counter an eye for an eye was already her enduring on the Medicine King Valley’s behalf!
“That child’s temperament is inadequate. I promised her grandfather to take care of her until she reached marriageable age. But having kept her in Medicine King Valley, no one in the valley caught her fancy, as a result held up her marriage. I can be considered to have completed her request. Now that she’s gone, I only hope that she can restrain her temper, and properly live out her life.” Hu Yi Jian said, “That’s right, I heard that you’ll be very busy in the following days. Tomorrow, after the Grand Empress Dowager returns to the palace, we also plan to move out.”
“Shifu, you all are going back?” Du Xiao Li somewhat surprisingly asked.
“This time, I originally came just to see you. Since you didn’t go to Medicine King Valley to see me, so I naturally could only come to see you. After all, we’ve never met before. If you weren’t good, I would’ve also had you expelled from the sect! However, looks like, your eldest senior brother didn’t lie!” Hu Yi Jian said.
“This disciple was unfilial.” Du Xiao Li thought of how all these years she’s been busy preparing her own influence, never once visiting the Medicine King Valley. This indeed was her fault.
“When I return, I will send someone else to come take Niu Jing’s place. When that time comes, if you’re free, you can return together with him.” Hu Yi Jian said.
“This disciple will definitely go.” Du Xiao Li replied with certainty.
Du Xiao Li stayed with Hu Yi Jian a little while longer, but seeing that his mood was still not very good, she just said, “Shifu, how about I play a piece for you on the flute?”
“Your matters, I’ve heard about from Niu Jing these last few days. He said during the mid autumn festival, your dance crushed the Eastern Li’s third princess, though didn’t know that you also know how to play an instrument.”
“He naturally doesn’t know. I very rarely perform in front of others.” Du Xiao Li said, and then let Xia Yuan go bring a flute over, simultaneously also letting Qiao Zhu prepare for them a pot of tea.
After Xia Yuan brought the flute over, Du Xiao Li first tried the sound, then after Qiao Zhu finished pouring the tea for the two of them and retreated to the side, she began playing.
The relaxing melody and mellow tune very quickly entranced Hu Yi Jian. Those worries in his heart seemingly faded away along with the flute’s melody. The corner of his mouth slightly raised up.
The flute’s melody scattered out along with the autumn wind. Everyone on the estate all heard. The people working all couldn’t help but stop their task at hand, and the people walking also stopped walking, wholeheartedly concentrating on her piece. Even the weeping little infant in aunt Xie’s arms stopped crying.
As Du Xiao Li played, she also added her energy in and chose a piece that was rather soothing. One piece over, Hu Yi Jian’s pent-up stress eased up as he smilingly said, “Your flute skills are quite good, letting one’s mood improve quite a bit.”
“As long as shifu thinks it’s good.” Du Xiao Li smiled.
After staying a little while longer in the pavilion, Xia Yuan came over to inform Du Xiao Li that it was time for lunch. Du Xiao Li thus accompanied Hu Yi Jian to the dining hall.
Bai Ning Yuan had left, Fan Nuo’er and Wang Ze also left already, and the Grand Empress Dowager, because needed to rest, didn’t come either. The dining hall instantly felt much more empty.
While eating, Hu Yi Jian told Niu Jing and Qing Chen his plans to leave tomorrow. Although it was somewhat rushed, Qing Chen still expressed that there was no problem. And Niu Jing will also return once the Medicine King Valley send someone over to take his place.
After lunch, Du Xiao Li went to go see the Grand Empress Dowager again. Learning that she already drank the medicine, ate lunch, and was currently resting, she thus returned to her own room.
The next day, the lively estate finally settled down, because early in the morning, the people temporarily staying at the estate all returned. Qing Chen and Hu Yi Jian returned to the Medicine King Valley, while Du Xiao Li sent the Grand Empress Dowager, Meng Old Madam, and Meng Jiang Zhuo back to the capital. Niu Jing also returned to the Imperial Physicians Court early in the morning, letting Tong Tong take his things back.
Outside the gate, Xie Hen watched the horse carriages slowly depart, as he let out a long sigh, “Finally all gone.”
Lately, quite a few buddhas came to this estate. The most noble man and woman of Feng Ming both came, even bringing along some other noble personages. Fortunately, nothing major happened during this period of time.
Looks like one needed to have a strong enough heart to follow this master!
Du Xiao Li had the Grand Empress Dowager sent to the palace gates, and didn’t enter any further. Once the Grand Empress Dowager entered the palace, she then had Meng Old Madam sent back to the Meng Manor.
Meng Old Madam originally wanted to have Du Xiao Li come to the Meng Manor to play, but hearing her say that she still had matters to take care, she thus let the matter go.
After watching Meng Old Madam and Meng Jiang Zhou enter the gates, she put down the carriage curtains and said to the carriage driver, “Go to Sui Yuan.” Shortly after, she let out a long sigh.
“Miss has finally settled this matter at last.” Xia Yuan looked to Du Xiao Li and said.
“Yeah, having the matter on this side taken care of, I can finally relax a breath. After all, the Grand Empress Dowager’s matter needed to be taken care of extra carefully. Moreover, the competition between the countries has my father and big brother Yi tending to it, I even have time to ‘go buy soy sauce’.” Du Xiao Li said. After sending off the Grand Empress Dowager, she instantly relaxed quite a bit.
“Go buy soy sauce? What is miss buying soy sauce for?” Qiao Zhu asked.
Ying Ge laughed and said, “What miss means with ‘going to buy soy sauce’ is just ‘going through the motions’
“Then why is it called going to buy soy sauce?” Qiao Zhu continued asking.
“This we don’t know either.” Ying Ge shook her head.
Qiao Zhu casted her gaze onto Du Xiao Li again, with a ‘desire for knowledge’ look on her face. Du Xiao Li pushed her face aside and said, “You won’t understand even if I tell you.”
Sometimes, she would still recall some things from her past life. Although there weren’t anyone she missed from her past life, she would still unconsciously recall the past.
Qiao Zhu sat back down and bitterly said, “But if miss doesn’t say, how would miss know we won’t understand?”
“Since I said you won’t understand, then you just won’t understand. When has this miss ever tricked you all?” Du Xiao Li looked to Qiao Zhu’s pitiful look and said with a laugh, “However, although there’s my father and the others, Sui Yuan is still our territory after all, so we can’t completely ignore either. That’s why, in the period after, we need to work up our spirits and have this matter taken care of nicely. Understand?”
“Understood, miss.” The three of them replied in unison.
