The next few days, i bring my two maids and granny Li with me to make purchase.Buying everything i need is easy but getting ride of the maids is difficult. I decide that granny Li should make the purchase for me.
"Madame, you are sure you want to buy this?"
"Yes go get it. We will be at the restaurant waiting for you."
"But but... if his highness knows that you have bought this and use ..."
"Its not only for him. Its for the happiness of everyone."
"Are you sure? Do you need this? You should about to do it naturally. Is he that bad in bed? Besides that are you planning to use it in camp? No you..."
"Shhhh!!!! Don't speak so loud. Now go. Don't let others see you. Especially those maid. They can't hold their tongues. Go go!"
The restaurant that choose appearing to be busy. I sit close to the entrance and watch out for granny Li. As i take slips of my hot tea, someone call out "Shung Yu'er!" I nearly chock. Looking up i see this man standing next to my table. He must be a friend of my sister. Nervously i put down the tea and smile."You are .."He sit down next to me. "You are simply ridicules! You don't even recognise me?! Last month i went over to the Duke Su mansion and have to hear from aunty How dare you get marry without inviting me?! "
"Aunty? Aunty who?"
"Heavens! Are you still unwell?! Your mother is my aunty, ok?!"
"Ahhh ... i can't remember a lot of things."
"Ever since that day you got sick and confine in that room of yours. No one knows how are you doing? So you forgotten everything? Aunty says that your leg is all better and you don't need the wheel chair anymore. It's a miracle!" This man continue to rattle on. I Just look at him up and down. So he is a cousin on my mother's side. He is all fair skin with his hair tie up in a bun. With long decate fingers that looks like spider legs. He have a look of a typical scholar.
"Are you listening to me or not?"
"Can you jog my memory please."
"Yu Bo Wu. Remember now?" He looks agitated while saying his name. Pouring a cup of tea for him, i push it infront of him. "Please have a slip. Why are you here cousin BoWu." He blow out his tea and look at me with his eyes open wide. "What? You don't address me as cousin, ever before."
"So what do i address you as?"
"Wu ger! How can you forget that?"
"Yes how can she forget that?"I look up to see dingbat standing outside the restaurant with his men. He have that amusing look on his face. Cousin BoWu look at both of us and point "Your husband? That cruel solider?" I raise my bow and nod my head. Dingbat walks in and join us siting together while his men stands outside with their hand cross over their chest.
"My little wife is not the same as the girl that you know , am i correct BoWu?"
"I haven't talk much to her yet. She does have memory lost. She can't be blame on that. Besides that how can you just marry her without inviting me?"
"Both of you know each other?"Both men turn their heads and look at me.
"We all grow up together in county HeiBei for every summer. You forget that too?" I just smile. of course i don't know. My days are spend in a small village out of no where. "I have forgotten most of my memories after the legs are heal."
"Don't tell me your memories are an exchange for the ability to walk? Now i don't know is that a good or bad thing. Anyway to forget about it is not a big deal. What is important is now and i am back!" Happily BoWu takes a slip on his tea and smile while looking out. Dingbat sigh and hold my hand. "Life is going to be noisy now."
"My family is moving back to the capital. My father wants to improve my relation with the imperial family. "
"You know why you are back. This time, is not going to be easy to move out and away."
"Whatever it is. My father will handle it. I just need to go along."
"Even marry Princess He Ching?"
No! I want to marry someone that i love. Even she is married i will stay single for her!" Dingbat laugh. " Lord Yu. Do you think you can escape that? You are the only son of your family. Part of the military power is within your family. Also you need a son to inherit the title, the military and to hold your funeral when you are ready to meet your maker."
"That is the far away future! Don't want to think of it. Yu'er are you happy marry this cruel man? If you are going to divorce him, come to me. I will take you in anytime."
"She is not going anywhere. She is happy at where she is. Besides that she can't live without." He said it with a cheeky grin. I wanted to talk him down on it but granny Li appear just in time. She signal me that she got the thing i wanted. Slowly i stand up while the two man bricked back and forth. While outside, i see two male cocks fighting just like that two men inside bricking inside. I left them quietly as i can with my maids and granny Li. I don't intent to talk more to them and let them catch my tail.
