Chapter 261 - 205, Sincere Heart Will Be Blessed
Within Mingquan Garden, Wu Yun lay quietly on the windowsill, his eyes tracking Xiao Man’s movements back and forth.
As Xiao Man wiped the table, she hummed a folk song from the streets of the Ning Dynasty, "Resentment towards others’ wealth and joy, calamity befalls the carefree folk. Some things are beyond our control, a pity to mar one’s good nature. Not all words spoken are true, heed only a fraction of what you hear. Don’t make enemies with the petty, for those kinds of people have their own adversaries..."
The lengthy song never reached its end; Xiao Man, like a little bee, fluttered about the room, even cleaning each and every corner meticulously.
Seeing nothing more of interest, Wu Yun slowly closed his eyes to sleep. In a twenty-four-hour day, a cat must sleep for sixteen hours; sleeping effortlessly saw the day pass.
Xiao Man turned her head to see Wu Yun with closed eyes and sneaked up on him, intending to lift him from the windowsill. But before she could get close, Wu Yun opened his eyes to regard her coolly, and Xiao Man walked away as if nothing happened, hands behind her back and humming the song.
"That young master’s cat, always so strange..." she murmured.
Then, from outside came a voice: "Xiao Man, Xiao Man, open the door!"
Xiao Man’s eyes brightened: "Sister Li Qiu."
She scurried over to open the door, and there stood Li Qiu, who mysteriously pulled her inside the house.
Once inside, Xiao Man hesitated: "Sister Li Qiu, why are you acting so secretive?"
Li Qiu whispered, "There’s a pie falling from the sky for you, it’s up to you if you want to catch it."
