Chapter 22: What is this thing? (2)

The next day, Zhou gē er, who was skipping into the house, saw the small bundle on his sister’s forehead, which was also covered with ointment of strange colors. Suddenly, there was no brother who loved his sister at that moment as he burst into laughter right away, which made Xu Yun Yao more depressed.

“Come and let grandma take a look, how come the swelling is so severe? Does it still hurt?” Wang looked very distressed and pulled her granddaughter to her side to take a closer look.

“Not hurt, he is bad!” Xu Yun Yao said unhappily and pointed at Zhou gē er who was already laughing so hard that he was about to fall.

“Right, right, right, brother is bad, he shouldn’t have laughed at my baby.” Said Wang-shi hurriedly and deliberately taught his grandson with a straight face, “Don’t make fun of your sister.”

Zhou’ger covered his mouth and nodded. His eyebrows and eyes were crooked. From time to time, he also gave out a dull laugh of “puff, puff, puff, hiss.” Xu Yun Yao felt more and more depressed.

Then, Wang-shi asked Cui Wen to get the rice cakes, watching the little siblings sitting aside obediently eating the rice cakes, she thought about her son who had not returned for many days and she was getting more and more worried.

“Song Nian didn’t even ask someone to send a word back this time he left. How can we not be worried.” She sighed.

“Old madam, please don’t worry. Maybe the master is so busy that he forgot. You know his character so well, once he focuses on something, he will forget everything else.” Mama Xia comforted.

“That to be said, but my heart is still not at ease. I was afraid that Ruan-shi would also be worried so I dared not to say it in front of her.” Wang-shi was still worried.

Cui Wen, who attended the siblings, shook her head helplessly when she heard the conversation.

Madam was afraid that old madam would be worried so no matter how worried she was about the master, she dared not  mention it in front of old madam. Didn’t expect that old madam also had the same thought.

In the main room, Ruan-shi’s face was pale, her body was trembling all over. She trembled and asked the middle-aged servant woman in front of her, “You, what did you say? The master was really caught and put in the prison by the Prefect?”

“I dare not to hide it from Madam, my disappointing brother is really the prison guard of the prison. He only knew that the imprisoned one was our Anping county’s Lord Tang when he changed shifts yesterday.”

“How can this be? How can he get caught and put in prison? How can this be good?” Ruan-shi was anxious and afraid, she got up suddenly and said, “No, I have to go see him.”

“Madam, please wait. Master has one more word that he asked my brother to pass it to me and wants me to tell madam. ” The servant hurriedly stopped her.

Ruan-shi grabbed her arms, and asked urgently , “What did he say?”

“Master said, Madam don’t need to be worried and wait at home with a peace of mind and to remember to take care of the red haired parrot. Don’t let him worry.”

Ruan-shi was taken aback, her body trembled and her face turned mare pale. After a while, she took a deep breath with tears in her eyes , “I understand, I will wait at home with a peace of mind.”

The servant woman sighed silently, bowed and walked out.

As she walked along, she patted her forehead and muttered, “My Lord is really confused. When did we ever raise a red haired parrot in our house?”

——

For a whole day, Xu Yun Yao was absent-minded and did not notice Ruan-shi’s strangeness. She kept thinking about the face she saw that night.

That face was obviously her face of past life, and even the ‘Xu Yun Yao’ of this life still exists. She should be the same age as her so how could she have  grown her face of past life?

Besides, what kind of supernatural power did that person have? Like entering a no man’s realm, coming and going as she wished quietly. And what was the purpose of her obsession with her?

That night, she still pretended to be asleep. After Bi Wen blew out the candle, she waited anxiously for ‘that person’ to appear.

Last time, she was caught by her, so could it be she dared not to come anymore? She waited but she didn’t hear any sound and  became unsure.

After waiting for another half an hour, she opened her eyes impatiently, but when she saw the person standing opposite her, her pupils shrank abruptly. She immediately got up from her small bed and stared at the cowering woman who did not know when she appeared in the room.

She held her breath and looked at the other party in the moonlight.

That face, as expected, was exactly the same as in the past life and even the body shape, looked 100% exactly like the grown up version of her in the past life!

When the other party saw her suddenly wake up, the other party shrank her neck in fear, and after a while she mustered up the courage to say quietly, “So-sorry, don’t be angry, that night I was so scared that night and caused you to fall.”

Xu Yun Yao barely suppressed the stormy sea in her heart, “Come here!”

She saw that the other party seemed to be hesitant for a moment and then the next moment she floated towards her.

Xu Yun Yao: “……!!”

Who could tell me, what is this thing?!!

She felt that her cognition had been seriously challenged. Had it been not for her bravery,  she would have screamed just now.

Closer, closer, closer, and closer, that “person” was drifting closer and closer, that face became more and more clearly visible but what was more clearly visible was the ragged clothes on the other party.

With long, scattered hair, ragged clothes and a pathetic expression, if she didn’t know that the other party was probably not a human being, Xu Yun Yao would have thought that the other party was beaten by people.

“”Hey, why did you beat…” Then she heard the other side’s little voice.

Xu Yun Yao was stunned.

I did that?!! What a joke!!
