Jingyue woke up after a good night sleep, opening her eyes she was taken back by beiyuan face, even covered in dirt his beautiful and handsome face can not be hidden well.

Seeing that his arm are wrapped around her waist, she blush and try to remove his arm from waist only to be hugged more tightly by him as he snuggle closer to her.

Afraid that she will woke him up, she didn't continue moving around and observe him closely his facial features which can make a women jealous is really something.

Looking at the fluttering eyelashes she know he's about to wake up, when he open his eyes she was drawn into his ocean blue eyes those breathtaking eyes always make her forget to breath.

Couple with the innocent and silly look in his eyes make anyone to protect him, she looks away knowing the more she looks at him the more she felt attract to him.

"Good morning beiyuan did you sleep well" he blink his eyes innocently and nodded his head with a smile on his face, his smile also make her smile.

"Yes I slept well, but now I'm hungry" she chuckle at his greedy look "okay then leave me I will buy something to eat for us hmm" he unwilling free her.

She get up from the bed and then inside the bathroom to take a bath, when cleaning herself she notice that her skin had lighten and her feature are visible.

She was quite surprised after ragging her brain for quite sometime, she can only think about the pearl she had absorb before, after changing her dress she leave the bathroom.

"Beiyuan wait here for few minutes okay" he nodded his head obediently, she leave the room and knock on her aunt room, she wanted to ask her what to do now.

With a sign she replied "honestly speaking I had no idea what should I do" jingyue look at the little kyukyu who's hugging her then at her aunt and spoke her thoughts.

"Aunt first of all you should get divorce, so in the future uncle will not able to lay on you or girls only then you can be truly free, you can rent a house if you had money I don't suggest to live in inn"

Her aunt pause, her frowned eyebrows show her internal struggle after all in this era divorced women are not accepted by society, knowing this she suggest.

"Why don't you pretend to be widow who had been kicked out by her mother-in-law after your husband death, but getting divorce is must" her solemnly nodded her head.

"Okay I will do as you had said now let leave the inn to search for a house what about you" she awkwardly replied.

"Well I don't have much money on my hand right now and there's beiyuan" she didn't continue speaking but her aunt understood her trouble.

"Go and tell him to get ready so we can have breakfast" she nodded her head and called together they leave the inn.

Looking at the rows of stall, people shouting about there goods and all, the street filled with ancient and pure fresh air make her smile happily.

They went to noddles shop one bowl cost 15 copper coin per bowl, but portion is quite generous with boiled egg and spring onion in it, everyone enjoy it.

Specially the little girls who had never eaten egg and meat, when jingyue was about to pay the stall owner replied that her aunt already had paid.

She unhappily look at her "aunt I still had money on me no need spend on me" her aunt just wave her hand.

They stroll around the streets while inquiring about any empty house available for rent, then they get to now that someone is renting a house on West Street.

West Street is filled with small courtyard where students from poor households live after scraping enough money to live.

It very common for four or five boys living in same room to share the rent, the house they visit by small house with four room, one main room, two small room, one kitchen, with small backyard where one can grow vegetables.

The house was good her aunt like the house so she rent it out, the house cost half teal of silver ever month, she was surprise when her aunt hand out without any hesitation.

Only then she realise her aunt is not as simple as she look on surface, atleast she is kind, her aunt forced both of them to stay at the house then the inn.

She was embarrass but having no money in hand she agreed staying here, but she will be the one cooking and doing other chores of the house.

Soon qiqi came back from the shop after buying some flour and egg, she take out the remaining flour she had in hand, it's better to cook and eat it now.

After all she is not planning to eat coarse grain at all they are not very good for health, atleast mixing them with black grain is much better.

She simple make rice omlette and stir fried some vegetables everyone where satisfied by the meal, but jingyue were thinking about something else.

She don't have much money on herself and had to leave this place in few days without money in hand her movement is very limited, while inquiring about cost of cart and livestock she was shock.

Livestock is very expensive specially horse, oxen or donkey a good one is very expensive even the cheapest cart is no less then half teal of silver.

She is thinking about doing some minor business to earn some money, suddenly someone patted her shoulder she turn around and saw her aunt.

"Yueyue can I ask you a favor" she nodded her head a smile "ofcourse you can" her aunt chuckle at her reaction and spoke.

"Yueyue can you go to butterfly cloth shop, you will find a women in her late forties her surname is ning just mention my name she will give you few purse then give her this money"
