Some families were joyous while some were in misery.
While Ye Yang and their family were chatting happily, the people in the Ye family courtyard had faces filled with misery as they worried about Ye Xuan’s safety. And in the tailor shop in town, Wang Xiangyun and the others were completely out of it. They didn’t even have the desire to live.
A couple of days passed in a flash and Liu Ran passed the evaluation without a hitch. He began the journey of learning at the school in town.
“My lady, I made the glutinous rice congee you like this morning.” Little Tian brought the breakfast she’d made especially for Wang Xiangyun and went into the room.
Wang Xiangyun grew thinner and thinner every passing day. She sat there by the window with her soulless eyes, not replying. It was as if every sound and every occurrence was unrelated to her…
Little Tian saw that she kept acting this way and frowned, not knowing what to do.
She strolled over beside Wang Xiangyun, knelt next to her legs, and said to her softly, “My lady, let’s go back to the capital. Master, madam, and young master definitely miss you dearly.”
She felt she couldn’t keep on letting Wang Xiangyun continue to be sad. Maybe if they had a change in environment, her lady would slowly get better?
As for those three punks, she had almost finished taking care of them. Although she didn’t kill them, what she did wasn’t far off!
After all, the best punishment was for them to want to die but be unable!
Wang Xiangyun only showed a slight reaction when she heard that the people closest to her missed her.
She moved her head slightly like a robot, looked at Little Tian, and replied, “Okay.”
Little Tian heard her completely lifeless voice and she felt a great pain in her heart. She would rather it was she who’d been sullied instead of her lady!
Little Tian’s round eyes immediately became wet and her nose also swelled up.
She said, choking with emotion, “My lady, in that case, you should drink some congee first. I will go pack our things so that we can quickly set out on our journey.”
As she spoke, she went over to the table and grabbed a bowl of glutinous rice congee for her.
Wang Xiangyun took the congee that was at the appropriate temperature. She held the spoon and mixed it around from time to time but she never put it into her mouth…
Little Tian saw this from the side while packing. She felt both anxious and helpless in her heart.
As a servant, there was no way she could violently force-feed her lady if she didn’t eat, right?
Far away in the capital, Dongfang Ming was still as graceful as jade and he didn’t lose any of his handsomeness. However, if one were to look at him carefully, they would be able to realize he was slightly thinner.
“Master, Young Master Wang is here,” Ming Yan reminded Dongfang Ming, who was looking at a ledger.
Wang Xixuan was dressed in expensive clothing all over. He looked dashing and had an imposing and impressive appearance. He really was Wang Xiangyun’s brother, as they really looked similar.
The dashing Wang Xixuan frowned and looked very serious. He pushed open the door and went directly beside Dongfang Ming’s table. “Brother Dongfang, we have known each other for so many years so I will be direct, and won’t waste time speaking nonsense. My little sister has liked you since she was young, and she is even your future wife. This time, she chased after you to somewhere outside of the city. Why didn’t you come back with her? What should you do if something happens to her?
“Even if you aren’t interested in her romantically, you still shouldn’t disregard her like this, right?
He felt worried and anxious that Wang Xiangyun still hadn’t returned after so long.
It was because Wang Xiangyun had never stayed somewhere where Dongfang Ming wasn’t present for so long before.
However, Dongfang Ming had already been back in the capital for quite a few days. He found it strange that he still hadn’t seen his sister return. This was not her style!
After Dongfang Ming heard Wang Xixuan’s question, he unhurriedly finished reading the ledger in his hands before finally lifting his eyes to look at him.
“Brother Xuan, your sister isn’t a child. How can I control her freedom?”
