Xiao Wangfu was very large. At least, it was several times bigger than the house in Zhuangzi. Xiao Tianyao lived in the front yard, while Lin Chujiu lived in the most remote area in the backyard. If the two will not deliberately meet up, the possibility of meeting each other was impossible.
Sitting alone inside the dining room, Xiao Tianyao realized that Xiao Wangfu was too big. Before, in Zhuangzi, no matter where his eyes look, he could find Lin Chujiu. But now?
At least 5 hours had passed since they arrived, but they haven't met even once. So, after eating half a bowl of rice, Xiao Tianyao already lost his appetite, and let the servant next to him clean it up.
On the contrary, Lin Chujiu was cheerfully eating her dinner. Xiao Tianyao was not living next to her room, so she was not that reluctant to live in Xiao Wangfu.
After eating dinner, she played the same routine. She walked around to digest her food in the stomach. And then, she took a bath as soon as the hot water becomes available. Lin Chujiu also read a dozen pages in the book to rest a bit more.
In this world, where televisions and computers were unavailable. Aside from reading, the only available activity at night was to sleep. Lin Chujiu was extremely unaccustomed to this lifestyle before. But now, she felt great. She sleeps and gets up early every day, because of this, her body obviously become much better.
Lin Chujiu was feeling good, she didn't feel tired at all. So, after lying on the bed, she fell asleep as soon as she laid her head on the pillow.
Lin Chujiu's sleeping posture was the same as ever. She sleeps curling up like a baby.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Tianyao quietly entered her room. Seeing the big bed, but Lin Chujiu sleeping like a piece of wood to the corner. Xiao Tianyao couldn't help but shook his head… …
The darkness inside the room didn't stop Xiao Tianyao to see the surroundings and made a move. He walked behind Lin Chujiu and poked her soft body. Seeing her sleeping like a dead pig. It seems she won't wake up in any moment.
Xiao Tianyao opened the quilt and lied next to Lin Chujiu. Then, he pushed her into his arms. Xiao Tianyao smelled an inexplicable scent on Lin Chujiu's body. But, it made him felt relaxed.
Lin Chujiu's presence had given him a great sense of security. He was able to sleep soundly. He no longer sees those bloody pictures in his dreams… …
Before daylight, Xiao Tianyao woke up. And as expected, he had a good night sleep beside her. He no longer has to worry about being invaded by nightmares.
"How do you expect benwang to let you go?" Xiao Tianyao said with his lips that were next to Lin Chujiu's ear. His voice was so low, that nobody can seem to be able to hear it.
When Lin Chujiu woke up, Xiao Tianyao had already left. The quilt and pillows were not wrinkled. Lin Chujiu didn't found an anomaly. However, her body felt tired, as if she didn't have a full sleep. And when she stretched her sore neck, she accidentally smelled a scent that only belongs to Xiao Tianyao… …
Lin Chujiu suddenly jumped out from the bed and opened her quilt. But, she didn't find any abnormalities.
"Am I only thinking too much?" Lin Chujiu knocked her head and tried to recall things. But, she couldn't think of any event after she lied down last night.
"Wangfei, are you awake? Can this slave come in?" Chunxi and Qiuxi were standing outside, carrying a clean water, and ready to serve her.
Lin Chujiu sighed, then said. "Come in." Even if she knows Xiao Tianyao came last night, what can she do about it? Can she stop him?
Obviously, Xiao Tianyao was bullying her because she has no martial art skills. But, even if she has a pistol, to use as self-defense, can she overpowered these high-leveled people? Maybe with the soldiers on the battlefield, but with him?
With her chicken like figure, she'll definitely never win against Xiao Tianyao.
After having a morning breakfast, Chunxi whispered to Lin Chujiu to remind her to send gifts to Meng Laofuren and Lin Family.
Lin Chujiu now came back from Zhuangzi. But, even if she won't go personally to meet Meng Laofuren. She will definitely send a one or two gifts to make her feel at ease. But, as for Lin Family?
It's completely unnecessary!
The gifts for Meng Laofuren were personally prepared by Lin Chujiu. The gifts were ready to eat herbal foods. While the gifts to the Lin Family, were… … Lin Chujiu only asked Housekeeper Cao to prepare them. The only one requirement she said was: The appearance must look luxurious. As if they spent a lot of money. But, they actually don't really have to. It's not worth it.
In short, Lin Chujiu's gifts to Lin Family was the same quality as, what Lin Furen had prepared for her dowry.
With this errand, Housekeeper Cao was rather feeling happy: "There are many kinds of that stuff in the storage room. People used to fight for them, but they actually don't have any value. I guess this is a good chance to clean up some things."
Housekeeper Cao prepared the gifts full of joy. His high spirit was rather contradicting to his old age.
However, when their Wangfei came back, the entire Xiao Wangfu was enveloped with warmth. So, Housekeeper Cao was in a good mood and has unlimited energy.
Before moving the gifts to the carriage, Lin Chujiu looked at them once again. After seeing that there was no problem, she let Housekeeper Cao sent them out.
Meng Laofuren learned that Lin Chujiu returned to the capital yesterday. She knew she wouldn't come, but will definitely send her gifts. So, as soon as the sun shines from the sky, she asked her maidservants to prepare a few things to be sent back to Lin Chujiu.
"The old lady really care about Wangfei. All these things are good nourishment for the body. And these clothes, they are really like a treasure. I'm afraid, only a few palace concubines have this kind of things." After seeing the returned gifts of Meng Laofuren, Housekeeper Cao couldn't help but give praise.
Lin Chujiu was also very happy. She doesn't like this kind of things, but she was very happy to see Meng Laofren's care for her. The old lady always does good things to her.
This feeling of concerned by loved ones was a first to Lin Chujiu in her entire life.
Lin Chujiu, who was in a good mood, picked up several brightly colored clothes and let her maidservants help her to wear them: "Help me put on these clothes and let us go to Guo Gongfu. Grandmother will definitely be happy to me see me wearing them."
Housekeeper Cao wanted to speak out loud, but he only keeps it inside his heart: Wangfei never thought of dressing up for Wangye to see. Wangye is really poor ah.
Lin Chujiu's returned made Meng Family happy. But, the Lin Family didn't feel happy at all. After Lin Furen received the "so-called gifts", she sent her baby daughter, Lin Wanting, as her "returned gift".
"We don't know how is Chujiu's condition. This child, Wanting, couldn't sleep or eat in worry. Now that Chujiu is back, Wanting wants to take care of her sister."
Lin Furen prepared a good reason for her daughter's trip to Xiao Wangfu. Lin Xiang was not at home, the maidservants couldn't stop Lin Furen. And under Lin Wanting's pressure, she went to Xiao Wangfu with the guards.
As soon as Lin Chujiu heard Lin Furen's "returned gift", she immediately smiled. But, she didn't go and meet Lin Wanting. She only let the maidservants settle her in a room. And she asked Housekeeper Cao to find Lin Xiang.
"Tell Lin Xiang. I haven't died yet. He doesn't need to get so anxious and send another daughter in Xiao Wangfu. He might not be feeling disgusted with a sister marrying her brother-in-law thing, but I and Wangye feel sick."
Housekeeper Cao knew that Lin Chujiu was angry with Lin Family's behavior. And she was really disgusted. So, he immediately went out and looked for Lin Xiang to deliver Lin Chujiu's words.
