"Young miss, you made us worried a lot. Aren't you scared of our head been cut off."
"Young miss, you don't like us. I thought when we meet again, either you or we will be dead."
"Thank Buddha, you are alive? Young miss don't leave us alone."
"Great master would kill us if you were not found."
"Young miss, we need to hurry. Today is your marriage-age ceremony."
"Let's go home quickly before great master starts searching for you."
"Yes" Lin Xie patiently listened to their rambling while they leave.
"Wait." The young man ordered. They all stopped. Lin Xue turned and looked at him with a questioning face, while her maiden servants looked at him worriedly and fearful.
He walked to her side and presented her a jade chain. Lin Xue looked at the jade chain and then she collected it. She said, "Don't be late tomorrow."
Lin Xue and maiden servants left him standing. Just a while after, his five bodyguards came. They all bowed down and one of them said, "Your Highness, we caught him. The bald man said he shot the arrow to that young Miss."
The young man, The Emperor of Wu kingdom. The successor of the Wu dynasty, was Wu Zheng. A cold-blooded, Ruthless, and feared Emperor. He is known as the unmarried And youngest Emperor I.e The Bachelor Emperor.
Wu Zheng frowned, He said "How is he now?"
The bodyguards understood him. Two of them left to visit the bald man.
"Let's go back to the palace." Wu Zheng commanded. They all followed him for the palace.
...
"Young miss, let's hurry up. We are late."
"My leg. My leg hurts. Let's walk slowly. I can't even catch my breath." Lin Xue stopped tiredly. She tried to catch her breath.
"Young miss, let me carry you." Red Maid bent down. She thought her young miss would climbed her back.
"No need" Lin xue dodged the Red maiden servant back. "How did you find out I might be in the forest?"
"It was my idea." The Blue maid answered. She continued proudly, "We searched for you in the big market. Analyzing everything, I brought the idea we should try to search a small side of the forest.
After the forest, we would report to the authority. If you have been kidnapped it will either be somewhere close to the marketplace or the forest. Young Miss can fight, we decided to try the forest. I also said maybe young miss went to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the forest."
Lin Xue rolled her eyes and sneered, "Tssh, why will I go to the forest to enjoy the beautiful sceneries."
"Miss loves to fight. Maybe you went there to hunt. And we found you there. Young miss, who was that man?" The Pink maid gave her opinion and asked curiously.
"Ohh, that forest man. He is my future husband." Lin Xue answered nonchantly.
The maids all stopped and stared at their young miss in amazement.
"Young miss, are you serious?" The Pink maid asked, hoping it was true.
"Yes. We both had a mark on our forehead." Lin Xue replied annoyingly.
"Young miss is getting married." The Green maid shouted joyfully.
Lin Xue scoffed and rolled her eyes, "In your dreams"
"I will discuss it with him, tomorrow. I'm too young to get married." Lin Xue stated ascertainly.
"Will he agree?" The Red maid asked.
"I don't know. If he wants to marry me by force, I will threaten him." Lin Xue's eyes darkened expressing, 'No one can force her'
"Young miss, how?"
"Let's wait for tomorrow. I can't think of anything. I just want to rest. My body aches." Lin Xue stretched her two hands up and yawned.
The pink maid wanted to massage her shoulder but Lin Xue dodged. She said, "Don't touch me."
Inside the Lin's Mansion.
The maids, servants. Bodyguards, etc were looking and roaming around, searching for Lin Xue and her maid. The Patraich of Lin's Mansion, Lin Xu lang shouted angrily,
"LLLLLLiiiiiiinnnnn Xuuuuuueeee."
Lin Xue and her maids heard a loud voice from the Lin's mansion
"Ohh, buddha, Grandfather has discovered we have gone missing."
"Young miss, what should we do?"
"We need to face the consequences." Lin Xue said boldly but in her mind it was ringing, "I'm dead."
They all stepped into the Lin's mansion together bowing their heads obediently like children who would soon be disciplined by their elders.
As Lin Xue entered, she shouted "Grandfattttthhhher." She ran to hug her grandfather who was standing at her front.
