Chapter 27: Foolish Love is the Most Boring

  Merry Christmas everyone! Three updates for "Qīn Mén", two updates for "Bā Fū" and one update for "Mǎ Jiǎ Shū". Enjoy! Hehe.

  Back at the Hu Guo Fu, the entrance was already lit up, and as soon as the gate opened, Xun Yu Shuang welcomed her out: "Madam, you've finally returned."

  "Uh-huh."

  He responded casually, at this moment he didn't have the heart to fool around with Chun Yu, and the matter of Xuan Mingyu was weighing on his mind.

  As she raised her eyes, she saw a row of people standing in the courtyard. She felt dizzy and wondered if they were the elegant three husbands and four servants. All she could see was the dust far away, and she didn't look at the others carefully because they were all wearing grayish-black clothes, as if someone had died in the house. Wait, how come there's a person sitting in a wheelchair at the end?

  Is this considered doing good deeds or being inhumane?

  Sighed, rubbed temples and left.

  "Madam." Chu Yue welcomed her, and unexpectedly he had returned to the Hu Guo Fu first. No wonder he wasn't seen at the imperial banquet earlier. "Everyone is worried about you, please say something to them."

  Worried? I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. When I was lying in bed, they didn't come to see me either. I reckon they were just waiting to see if I'd die or not. I waved my hand: "Everyone scatter, scatter, you don't usually see me a few times, so there's no need for everyone to worry."

  "Madam."

  "Madam."

  Chu Yue's voice is getting farther and farther away, annoying, seeing him just makes me think of Feng Xue Yin, fed up.

  How is Nangong still here? Ah, he's holding onto Xiao Jiu.

  I looked at Nan Gong Qiuxue, he was following me but seemed to be lost in thought, still unaware that we had entered the room.

  Xiao Ruo immediately lit the lamp, and when she took Xiao Jiu from Nan Gong Qiu Yue's arms, Nan Gong Qiu finally came back to her senses, seeing that we were in my room, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

  "How did you get drunk like this. Madam, you too, why didn't you take care of the young master." Xiao Ruo complained, putting down Xiao Jiu on the bed and going to prepare some water for washing his face.

  Nangong Qiuyue was still standing in the room, looking at Xiaojiao on the bed, seemingly thinking about something.

  "Nangong, aren't you thinking of sleeping here tonight?" I said indifferently. Nangong Qiuyue immediately shifted her gaze away from Xiaojiu and bowed to me: "Qiuyue won't disturb the mistress's rest, Qiuyue takes her leave."

  Watching Nangong Qiuxue quickly leave, I looked at Xiaojiu. A man who is so clear about a woman's menstrual period, is it really just because of his duty? Or...

  In the candlelight, Xiao Jiu climbed up and looked at me coldly: "Why did you ask about Ming Yu today?"

  "Hmph, I didn't think you'd like a man with such a feminine tone."

  "How dare you insult Ming Yu!" Xiaojiao's face turned red with anger, I shrugged and sat down on the round stool beside me, poured myself a cup of clear tea, to calm my nerves before fighting with Xiaojiao.

  "Today your sister warned me that if I don't cooperate with Nan Gong, she'll have to operate on Ming Yu..."

  "She really said that!" Xiao Jiu was so excited that she grabbed the bed sheet, holding it tightly and pinching her fingers into the fabric as if she wanted to tear it apart. "Lu Ren Jia, you must listen to my sister's words, Ming Yu, Ming Yu can't have anything happen to her...can't have anything happen to her..." Xiao Jiu's emotions seemed to be affected by Ren Jiu Tian's mental state again, becoming out of control.

  "Hey, the sheets are going to break." It seems that Qingya loves that man deeply. My original anger dissipated after seeing her painful expression. I couldn't scold a woman who is so devoted to love.

  "What's wrong with you..."

  "No, no, you don't understand..."

  "It's not that I don't understand, but your heart is not ruthless enough. Ah, that man doesn't love you either."

  "It's not that I don't love, it's just that I can't..." Xiaojiao lowered his head, as if something was sliding down from the corner of his eyes. "The Xuan family, in order to ensure the purity of their bloodline, only marries within their own clan. His fiancée is actually his sister."

  "Marriage between close relatives!" A thunderbolt struck down, and I was worried sick.

  "I cannot be his concubine, and he cannot be my attendant minister..."

  "Don't tell me how much he loves you, I didn't feel it at all."

  "He said he loved me!" Xiao Jiu jumped off the bed and rushed in front of me, "What does a philandering man like you know!"

  For some reason, I have a bad feeling. What Feng Qingya said may not be true. She might have been taken advantage of by a man, just like one of my female friends.

  One person's love for another can never be permanently hidden. If that Xuan Ming Yu really loved Feng Qing Ya, how could he have no feelings of concern when they met again?

  My heart is feeling a bit heavy, I don't know if I should say this or not.

  "Xiao Jiu...... actually I am......"

  "Madam!"

  Suddenly, Xiaoyao kicked open the door and rushed in, pushing me aside as she shielded Xiaojiu. Once again, I didn't get to finish saying that I'm a woman.

  "Madam! Is she bullying you?"

  Xiaoyu looked at me with a fierce gaze, and in that moment, I had the idea of marrying her off as soon as possible.

  Xiao Jiu looked at me with a poker face: "Xiao Ruo, bring wine!"

  "Have some wine?" I was perplexed.

  "Today there is wine, today I get drunk."

  "Haha, tomorrow's worries will come tomorrow." I replied. Feng Qingya might have already sensed it, yes, she was so clever. But, she chose to deceive herself and escape.

  "That's right, I'll go get the guitar!"

  Xiao Ruo looked at us with an inexplicable expression, Xiao Jiu urged her: "Hurry up and go!"

  Under the moonlight, Xiao Jiu held a guqin, but unfortunately, he was short in stature, and the guqin stood on the ground like a cello. She played it, and it was "Laughing at the Red Dust". I couldn't help but admire: "You're really amazing, you can play it after just one listen."

  "Then why don't you sing!"

  I picked up the wine jug and filled a cup for Xiao Jiu. Xiao Ruo looked at us with a mixture of fear and trepidation, her eyes revealing a sense of unfamiliarity, as if she had never seen two women acting like drunkards before.

  She plays and I sing, just for this night's freedom, who cares about tomorrow's troubles.

  The sound of the zither is lingering, the singing voice is lingering, until her fingers tremble and my voice shakes, then huddle together, lying on the ground to watch the starry sky.

  "Passerby A, Ming Yu is the man I love most, even if he doesn't love me..."

  "I know, I know..."

  "You have to help me save him, he saved me..."

  "I know, I know..."

  "He lives in the palace, his sister wants to kill him as easily as turning over her hand..."

  "I understand, I understand..."

  "And... you can't fall for him..."

  "Don't worry... I don't like seme..."

  "Little receiver... what is it..."

  "It's... a man... down there... that..."

  "What are you? Are you... Hey! Wake up... Forget it... Infatuation is the most boring thing... Infatuation... is... the most... boring..."

  The Protectress of the Country's four attendants were all nine years old, intelligent and clever from a young age, with unlimited prospects for the future. She was specially appointed as the First Divine Child and entered the Imperial Academy.

  The Empress Dowager's injuries have not healed yet, she can continue to recuperate in the Palace of the Protecting Country and does not need to attend early court.

  After hearing this, I was so moved that I burst into tears. Xuan Yuan Yifei is really a great kind-hearted person!

  From then on, Xiao Jiu entered Guozijian for study.

  At first, I didn't understand why Xiao Jiu would follow the imperial edict to go to Guozi Temple. After all, his entering the palace was not beneficial for either of us. Later, I came to realize that Xuanming Yu taught mathematics at Guozi Temple, and Feng Qingya, infatuated with him, went there every day just to see him, abandoning me in the process.

  The heroine of "Ba Fu" is not a BH, she's very ordinary, likes to take advantage of small benefits, but when it's time to spend money, she's straightforward. She has a moderate desire for romance, but when men get close, she blushes and her heart skips a beat. Occasionally selfish, rarely clear-headed, but will also stand up for justice and fight for what's right. However, after offending the powerful, she'll shrink back and hide, just like a small woman, yet having great luck that can't be killed and an irresistible wealth and romance fortune, making others envy her.
