As Yutao and his henchmen were on their way back to the General's mansion, they started to discuss...
One of them inquired curiously, "Master, are you really going to let go of Bojing that easily?!"
Yutao replied, "No, it's better to let him go and observe from afar! Since he needed the celestial flower, I believe he will try to contact the Eagle bandit later!"
Yutao then leaned in closely and ordered them, "You two will follow him and observe him closely. If there is anything suspicious, you have to inform me at an instant!"
One of Yutao's henchman argued not wanting to tail Bojing, "Master! Can you just forward this tailing task to someone else!?"
Yutao raised his gaze then his brows as if he is questioning them, "Are you sure you are not going to obey my orders?!!". Seeing his raised face the henchman immediately agreed, "Yes! Yes! We sure will follow your orders! Isn't it!?", uttering those words the henchman pushed his elbow to his friend asking for his support.
Seeing him, his friend sighed, "Tch!'
The three of them continued their journey towards the General's Mansion. Slowly, after a while they reached the place.
On the other side...…..
Bojing continued to walk on slowly carrying the wooden box on one hand. As he continued, his legs were becoming weary and tired and his breath was becoming shorter and heavier. Soon after a few steps, he reached the Shanjin's market place. It was bustling with lamps all around. The whole of the marketplace was lit up with night lamps. Upon seeing it, Bojing ran towards the marketplace with full hope. From afar he saw a man with a carriage, Bojing ran towards it. He then stopped before the carriage and ordered the man with a heavy breath, "Hey you! Take me to the Wu Mansion!"
Seeing his rude behaviour, the man smirked and replied carefreely, "Twenty taels!"
Bojing feeling irritated retorted quickly, "Ah! It's okay the Wu family will give you the taels! Let's go."
Bojing then tried to get inside the cart. The man quickly turned sideways carrying his horse and spoke as he was leaving, "Tch! Trying to scam me!! Do you think I am a fool! No money no ride!!"
The man then left as he uttered those words. Bojing couldn't believe his eyes. His pace went faster following the man from behind and spoke again, "Eh!? Do you know who I am?! I am Bojing! The first heir of the Wu's family. I'll double your amount when I reach the place! What do you say!!? Huh?!!"
The man couldn't believe his ears! It was the most craziest kind of joke he ever heard. He got annoyed to think that such kind of weirdo exist!! He decided to give Bojing a fitting reply, therefore he spoke, "Then...! Do you know who I am?! I am the Nephew of the Great King!"
After saying those words the men left the spot with his carriage. He murmured to himself as he left, "Huh! Trying to scam me! As if the richest man in Shanjin would asked me for a ride. He would already be going with his own carriage and servant!!"
Bojing was left to shock at his own situation. No one now believes that he is the Young master of the famous Wu family. Feeling disheartened he spoke slowly as he was left there by the carriage man, "But...… I really am the first heir....!"
As soon as the man with the carriage left the spot, the sky in Shanjin roared. There was a loud thunder. People at the marketplace looked at the sky and spoke to each other in haste "It looks like the rain is coming!! Let's hurry home!"
"Quick! Wrap it up!"
The time at Shanjin seems to fasten a little bit. People at the marketplace started to run wild. They were all in hurry packing their stuffs ready to leave the place. Upon seeing the huge commotion, Bojing too quicken his pace and walked faster. He then walked passed the marketplace. The rain soon started to pour down heavily at Shanjin. With a loud thunder it was a heavy downpour that Bojing was left all drenched in the rain. As Bojing continued to walk down the path, it then slowly turned into midnight and he was extremely exhausted and hungry. Bojing was still walking on his way till he reached the gate of the Wu's mansion. He then passed out there, infront of the Wu's family gate.
Scene1.....
Inside the Wu's Mansion...
All the servants of the Wu's mansion were running wildly in search of Bojing. His wives were standing infront of the main door anxiously waiting for their husband.
As their husband didn't return till then, Bojing's third wife exclaimed, "Ohh dear! Where has my beloved gone!?! It's past midnight now!!"
Bojing's second wife smiled satirically and interrupted her, "Little sister, our husband was with you almost all the time and he didn't even tell you where he went!? That's quite something!"
Fumed by her words the third wife's face became fiery red and retorted quickly, "Aah! Our husband didn't want to tell us, it must be something he want to keep it hidden! Sister...! You aren't questioning our husband's motives, are you!?"
Burned by her words the second tried to respond, "You!!! Tch!". She then kept her composure and faked a smile, "He...he...he...!"
Soon, there was a commotion amongst the servants. One of the servant came to report them, "We have found our Young Master infront of the Mansion! He was all soaked and fainted!"
The second wife instantly gave the order, "Quick! Bring him in!"
The servant nods his head heeding her order and left.
The servants then slowly carried Bojing and lay him down on his bed. The two wives rushed to check on him and exclaimed, "Oh My!! What happened to him!?"
Soon, Bojing's first wife rushed towards his bed with a huge commotion. As soon as she came, the second and third wife stands aside. The First Wife checked upon Bojing's forehead and found that it was burning hot. She immediately turned to the servants, "Where is the Physician?!"
She then turned to his two wives and questioned, "Haven't you two called him yet?!"
The second wife replied stutteringly, "Sis....ter...…...I.....!"
The third wife butts in and explained, "Sister! We were too shocked to think. I will immediately give the order!"
She then turned to the servants and gave her order, 'Quick! Fetch the Physician!"
The servant immediately went out to fetch the physician. The First wife then turned to the servants and spoke, "Who bring him in?!"
One of the servant stands up and replied, "Mistress! It is I!"
The first wife then went near to the servant and spoke in a low voice, "Did you find the box?!"
The servant replied, "Yes! I kept it at the treasure room as per your order Mistress!"
The first wife sighed a relief and replied, "Good!". She then turned aside and to her surprise found that the two woman were lifting up their ears, trying to eavesdrop on them. Upon seeing her, they immediately stood back to their position and maintained their posture. The First wife cleared her throat and gave order to the two of them, "You two stay beside him and nurse him well!" After giving her ordered she left the place.
As soon as she had left, the second wife came up and spoke, "Wow! Who does she think she is?! To give us orders like that?!!"
She then turned to the third, lift up her head and spoke, "Since our husband adores you so much sister! You be the one to nurse him well! I am out from here!"
Saying those words the second too left the spot.
The third came up and tried to stop the second, "Eh!? Eh!??"
Leaving her with no choice she went near to her husband bed..
