Chapter 20: Who Is It!? (2)

As for why she was not afraid of a snake, that disgusting-looking reptile? This was because of her current second sister, Tang Liang Di, from her previous life. If she hadn’t been thrown into the forest, forcing her to stay up all night and fighting against several poisonous snakes, which broke through the limits of her fear, she wouldn’t have had the “fearless” self that she had today.

So, it was a blessing in disguise, and after bad luck came good fortune. Anyway, now that she thought about it, she was quite glad she had experienced that one horrible night. If not, there would have been no later Consort Xu, nor would she have been able to get revenge on the bastards yesterday.

Of course, although she was happy, it did not mean that she would let go of the people who harmed her. Later, Tang Yun Yu was put under house arrest in the harem until she died, which was the greatest kindness she could show her.

After breakfast, the family returned to Anping County. As soon as the carriage returned to the government office, Tang Song Nian was invited by Shen Ming.

On the way, Shen Ming lowered his voice and said, “Magistrate Wu sent someone over, saying that someone reported that Lord has accepted bribes in Sun Youcai and his wife’s case, harbored the real culprit, and hastily closed the case. He now wants Lord to go to the government office immediately. At this moment, Deputy Dai is trying to delay the proceedings. He asked me to hurry to inform Lord, so as to have a preparation.”

Tang Song Nian was furious. “What a load of nonsense!”

In the middle of their conversation, the man sent by the government appeared in front of them. He said in a strange manner, “Lord Tang, come with me! We have already been delayed long enough. We can’t keep the magistrate waiting forever.”

With a cold face, Tang Song Nian called Mo Yan and instructed him, “If Madam asks, tell her that I am on official business and will be back in a few days.”

Mo Yan glanced at him. He then lowered his head and answered, “Yes.”

Return in a few days? The man gave a cold snort.

Are you still pretending to be ignorant? I’m afraid to say that you won’t be able to return!

Xu Yun Yao was carried off the carriage while she was dozing off. She lifted the curtain to look at the person holding her. When she saw that it was Ruan-shi, her body unconsciously rubbed against Ruan-shi’s arms. Her attitude was indescribably clingy.

She did not know that Tang Song Nian had been taken away by someone, as she was sleeping soundly.

Ruan-shi carried her back to the house and covered her with a thin blanket. When she saw the little girl sleeping with pink cheeks, she could not help but kiss her. She then gently closed the door and left. She didn’t forget to instruct Cui Wen to wait outside, in case her daughter suddenly woke up and could not find anyone.

The breeze lightly brushed the curtain, bringing a fine fluttering sound.

Outside the window, it was originally sunny. Now, the sky had become gloomy, and it seemed to be raining heavily in the distance.

Cui Wen, who was doing embroidery work on the outside, glanced at the sky. She hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand and ran out. She wanted to take back the clothes hanging in the yard.

“Wake up, wake up.” In her sleep, Xu Yun Yao seemed to feel someone tugging at the corner of her clothes. She muttered and waved her little hand to push the hand away. Then, she smacked her little mouth and continued to sleep.

A few moments later, the hem of her dress was gently tugged again. A somewhat pitiful voice said in her ear, “Wake up, wake up, will you?”

She kicked her short legs, rolled over, and muttered, “Hot, Bi Wen, hot…”

A few moments later, she felt the stifling heat disappear. It was replaced by the coolness of a fan flicking on her, as if someone was sitting next to her and fanning her.

She fell asleep again.

Suddenly, the thunder rumbled and awakened Xu Yun Yao, who was sleeping soundly.

Her eyelids trembled as she slowly opened her eyes. She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to see a figure flying behind the pearwood cabinet.

She rubbed her eyes. Just as she tried to take a closer look, the door of the room was pushed open. It was Cui Wen who walked in.

“Miss is awake?”

The moment her feet landed on the ground, she walked towards the pearwood cabinet. It was empty. There was no one there.

Maybe it was a mistake! She thought to herself.

When she turned around, she saw a fan on the side of the bed.

Xu Yun Yao froze.

So someone had really fanned her? Cui Wen? No, she woke up just as Cui Wen was coming into the room.

Was it Bi Wen?

“Bi Wen…” She called her name in a milky voice.

Cui Wen was holding her hand. She smiled when she heard the name. “Bi Wen is waiting at Young Master’s room!”

Xu Yun Yao looked at the fan again. Cui Wen followed her line of sight and noticed it, too. She picked it up. “How did this fan fall here?”

Xu Yun Yao was confused.

If it was not Cui Wen or Bi Wen, who could it be?
