After all Hua Yan is her cousin. He is also twenty this year. Xie Jingshen is twenty one this year. It's normal for them to be brothers with each other.
But consciously or not Hua Yan never mentioned about this general. She didn't treat him as important figure in the fight to the throne.
Or else Gu Meiya wouldn't hesitate to know his real disposition.
She leaned back on the chair. Enjoying the shade.
But things didn't go as expected.
a noise was heard. Hearing that succession of noises were heard, alarming the people in courtyard. Gu Meiya felt irritated. She has been running around for those few days, now someone causing trouble when she is taking a nap. She really will not have a good temper.
She silently sat up. She looked over the girl playing the qin. The girl stopped playing. She bowed and left.
She gestured towards the front door. Li Si bowed and left.
She turned entered her personal room. Listening to the sounds outside the courtyard she grabbed the outer robe put it on. And her personal servant maid entered the room.
Her inner garment and outer robe were all made in silk. In white color. Only silver threads were sewn in the cloth. Making it look even more delicate. Gu Meiya sat in front of the bronze mirror with the help of her maid.
Her hair originally left unattended. Qing Su lifted her master's hair carefully and combed it.
Qing Su is first rank servant from her the palace. Most of the time she will usually stay in winter moon palace. Only when Gu Meiya in the capital she will accompany the princess.
After making her hair. She grabbed a veil and covered half of her face, before stepping out on to the corridor.
Whenever Gu Meiya is outside of the palace she stayed either in Hu'an manor or at wan ya pavilion.
In the moment she is in her uncle's manor.
Her servant maids all were ready lead her out. She put on an indifferent look before she stepped out of the door.
She walked along following her servant girls. Her uncle had a spacious garden. He raised all kinds of flowers in it. He is a flower fanatic. All the flowers her uncle raised were worth of thousands of taels.
She came on to the garden. She was stunned. A girl about eleven years old is causing ruckus.
She is wearing a pink dress embroider with peony. She looked adorable. Unfortunately none of her actions showing that is just an adorable girl.
She is holding a whip. Whipping a servant maid. Clothes torn, blood dripping from the cuts in the arms and legs?
What kind of punishment did the maid do for receive such a torment?
Gu Meiya never intended to intervene. As she never liked trouble. But this is her uncle's manor. Both her aunt and cousin sister had gone to the temple outside of the capital for few days.
Thus it required her to step forward to finish up this matter.
She turned her glance towards Qing Su.
