I bow my head in shame while waiting for my parent's reprimanding. As the clock's hand keep moving,the sweat in my forehead also keeps on accumulating.
I know my wrongdoings. And i admit that i did something wrong since i just finish recuperating but i sneak outside without anyone's approval so im simply waiting for my punishment.
But unlike what i expected,i feel a 2 pairs of arms hugging me with so much longing. I hear my mother's sob and my father's soothing voice coaxing her.
I move my head upwards and look what's going on. My mother is breaking down while hugging me. Unlike those composed, flawless gestures and graceful aura, what greets me is a tearful eyes and flushed face of my mother similar when i first meet her.It makes me feel more guilty for what i did.
I bow my head once again.
I notice a small feet and a small head peeking from a corner. She saw her sister at the door looking confused of what is happening.
wuwuwu my step-sis is so adorable. How can this Ling Xi bully her? She is just a cute Xiao tuzi. I may want to bully her but only by squishing her cheeks. Bet it will have a tinge of red blush.
Wait? What is she doing here? And where is her servant? And her mother?
Speak of the caocao and the caocao will come,the servant outside announce the arrival of the mistress. The adorable kid run unbalancely like a drunk person and someone who is injected with chicken blood run towards their direction.
Awwww *o*
I still can't believe that this cutie pie will cause disaster after disaster in the future and make it look like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten woods. She look too cute for that. QAQ
"What is the meaning of Concubine Luo Shi to this one's fu?" without any further greetings expressing her indifference directly.
Instead of getting mad,Luo Shi keeps smiling and stay unbothered.
"This concubine have something to talk to the Prime Minister. Can this concubine request for husband's audience?" she softly said gaining the attention of both the First wife and the Minister.
They look at each other's eyes thinking if what Luo Shi will talk about but he choose to just follow and hear her out. Wei Shi just scrunch her eyebrows in disgust and contempt.
Bei Xi's eyes follow the parting figure of the pair with her questioning eyes. Is this still about her going out or something more? Why should the concubine talk something about her? She doesn't even associate herself to her,afraid that she'll die prematurely again.
She then focus her attention to her step sister. Did her mother just forget about this steam bun? It is already in front of her looking at her curiously. Bei Xi lower herself and smile at her. She then pinch this baby's supple cheek and smile more brightly.
Not looking and mother and still staring at her step sister, she asks her mother."Mommy,can i play to Ling Mei?"
Wei Shi stare at the both of them for awhile the nod her head. "Just don't go too far away from the garden,okay?" She then ask Bai Ruo and the other servants to look at them more attentively since she need to settle some other things. Her daughter's scolding thrown to back of her mind and choose to arrange things first about her baby's adoption and more. But she definitely still do so after finishing all her tasks. Bei Xi feel some of the hair in the back of her neck rising.
Their can't be any ghost here,right? Strange,its still early ah.
...
"Ling Mei,do you like this flower crown sister made for you? Isn't it pretty?" Bei Xi put the said flower crown to her sister's head lovingly.
Since Ling Mei is just 2years old it just giggle and continue playing with the mud and flowers. Creating mini hills and putting flowers around it. She is now dirty and some mud tainted her cheeks. Bei Xi chuckle at her image.
Who can believe that this is the female lead she's looking at? It looks just like the normal kids around. So cute and squishyyyyy~. She's still hoping that she won't grow up vengeful and take down their family to nothingness.
Since the future is still away,she'll enjoy herself as much as she want and dote on her more.
While her mind is flying towards all the plans in the future something bothers her.
Now that she think of it,how come that she feel like her sneaking out the manor already happened but she can't remember Ling Xi going out, only others visit her? Second,her knowing the lay out of their manor like the back of her hand is more confusing.Moreover,while she's trying to exit the manor her swiftness feels unnatural and unexplainable. It just came to her that she barely go out but she remember the intervals of the guards duty and when is the right time to sneak out.
Did she just experience an Awakening?She doesn't even try absorbing Qi. It is still early and also it doesn't match the speed of a first level Qi Refining cultivator.
How come she doesn't notice anything? Nor my mom and dad? No one notice the Qi fluctuations.
"Sister Bai Ruo,can we already go to my bedroom? I kinda feel tired already." she smile at the maid and ask her.
The maid agree and bring the Eldest Miss to her manor and let the other servant bath the Second Young Miss and bring her back to the mistress' manor. Bei Xi said her goodbye to Ling Mei at kiss her clean left cheek. Then The other servants bow their heads and politely excuse themselves.
...
After entering her room and telling her servants to don't disturb her unless necessary,Bei Xi sit in her bed like how she saw cultivators do in some of the books she read. The servants found it amusing for the child to read this early age but just shut their mouth and think of it of her only playing librarian or something.
While trying to control the qi,she found nothing extraordinary about it. She's still just a normal child without cultivation. Is she just really overacting? Strange strange strange....
Is it just a residual memory of the vessel bothering her? Telling her to do things and such?
Is it all in my imagination? Nah,even without anything too much out of ordinary with my families' affinity im definitely not a soft persimmon. Right?
