Chapter 62: DON’T THINK ABOUT ANOTHER WOMAN
Xing ran out of the dining hall and started running towards the bamboo garden they had inside their Manor followed by Shengli.
Oh heavens! Why cannot Master agree to their marriage and let me free of this suffering? I’m too old to keep on watching over these young people! Xu mama who was running behind them could not keep up with them and panted. But she had to follow them as it was her master’s command.
Xu mama almost had a heart attack to see her young miss stripping in the middle of the bamboo forest. Shengli was with her too and he was holding all her headdress and tokens in his hands and he didn’t have a grasp of the situation too.
"Young Miss, you cannot...", as Xu mama was speaking, Xing removed her waistband and stripped layers of clothes making Xu mama almost faint.
This young miss will make me die early! She is too willful and wild! I can handle most of it but stripping outdoors is way too much! Xu mama felt like the world was spinning around her.
But to her surprise, there was a layer of men’s scholar robes in Royal blue colour underneath the clothes she was wearing. Just how many layers was she wearing? Xu mama sighed in relief.
"Yes!", Xing stretched her limbs, " Now I am free and my outfit matches my shoes", she grinned happily.
Before they could relax, Xing shouted at Shengli to hold her hair and started vomiting. Her entire face had become pale and her eyes teary. Shengli asked Xu mama to braid her hair and he held Xing’s forehead and patted her back. Xu mama braided her hair along with the pearls which added the beauty to her hair and immediately sent for maids to take the dress she threw a while back to her room and asked to bring hot water.
Shengli became too worried and his hands became cold as he was holding her forehead. He had never seen her sick like this before.She had never been sick before, she used to sleep for days sometimes but she never had even sneezed before. Even Haru would call her ’rock’ for her immunity.
Shengli’s eyes were cold and he looked like he would end the world now. Everytime she retched, he had a perturbed look and Xu mama could see his body tensing. Xu mama retreated back seeing his protective aura as she knows how dangerous when he was worrying about her.
Xing’s face got its usual color after she bawled her stomach out and washed her face with warm water. Her makeup was completely removed revealing her little mole on her upper lip. Shengli patted her face dry with his kerchief and was still worried with his eyebrows tightly knitted. Xing could feel his cold hands and realised, the anxiousness had made his usually warm hands cold. She explained,
" For some reason aphrodisiacs have this effect on me. It’s nothing more. I am fine now", she assured him. He still looked concerned and only after she repeatedly assured him did he believe her.
