"Old Master hasn't returned to the residence yet. Uncle Rong came back and said that Old Master wanted to drink with a few of the adults who were close to him.”"I don't know when I'll be back."”
"That's good." "Suxin, do you know that I almost made a fool of myself today?" Li Mulan said.”She thought for a moment." Forget it, I'll stop talking. Hurry up and prepare the bathwater. I want to take a good bath."”She sniffed the back of her hand.”
"Young miss, it's easy to not embarrass yourself. You just have to obediently stay in the manor. There's everything here, and eating and drinking is not a problem.”"It's better than experiencing all kinds of storms outside, right?"”
"Yes, there's everything here, but there are also things that aren't available outside. Is there one here in Goulan Court?"
"What? Have you been to such a place?" Su Xin was so scared that her small face turned pale, her face filled with disbelief.
Li Mulan tapped her head.""You've always been trapped by Father's words. I don't care about the French law. It's a waste of a young man if he's not romantic!"
Su Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry,"Young Miss, you've read quite a lot of books, how can there be a reason for Young Miss to go out and stroll around the residence all day?" Also, you're going to marry sooner or later. Do you really want to be an old lady for the rest of your life?”
"Why not?" Li Mulan deliberately angered her servant girl to death.""This Young Lady has hands and feet, and is also in the Lord Marquis's house, what can I not have? What's so great about men? I don't care about them at all!”As she spoke, Long Jun Hao's face suddenly appeared in her mind. She shook her head,""Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. It'll only make me angry!”
Su Xin was also curious and asked,"Young miss, who has such great ability outside to dare to make our Marquis fu young miss angry?"”
"Damn, can't you see that I'm a young master now?”" I'm the only one who can annoy people. Who dares to annoy me?!" Li Mulan strode forward again.”The Long Junhao in her mind had already been ruthlessly stepped on by her.
Seeing the young miss reveal a proud smile, Su Xin sincerely said,"That's true. Our young lady is extremely intelligent. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also quick-witted.”
Hehehe. Li Mulan laughed and said,"Suxin is the one who knows me." Let's go and prepare a bath for me!”
"Yes, Miss." Su Xin was ordered to go down and get busy.
Li Mulan went straight into her room and sat down. After she calmed down, she was puzzled. Why was she still thinking about Long Junhao? The two of them wouldn't have any more interactions, right? However, when she thought that they would no longer have anything to do with each other, she felt inexplicably disappointed.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, she got up and walked around the boudoir. She still felt irritated, so she simply picked up the sword hanging on the wall and jumped from the second floor to the ground. She did not even change her clothes and began to fight.
Her swordsmanship was passed down from a great teacher, and it was as if the student had surpassed the master. However, he couldn't let go of something in his heart, so he couldn't help but be impatient. Even today's sword technique had lost its usual steadiness, and he didn't know where to go.
"Good, good swordsmanship!" Su Xin finally finished boiling water and was carried by two servant girls,"Miss, stop practicing. Take a bath first.”
Li Mulan retracted his sword momentum and said after calming his breathing,""I'm very annoyed. I won't be happy if I don't practice.”
Su Xin didn't give Miss any face and said,"Yes, you asked for it!”Seeing that she was still unhappy, he said,"Alright, Miss, I was just joking with you. Take a rest first, then take a comfortable bath and have a good sleep. Tomorrow, you'll be a beautiful lady again!”
"Sigh, that's the only way." "Is the water hot?" Li Mulan handed the sword to Su Xin. Don't be too hot!"
"It's not hot. The water temperature is just right."
The two servant girls arranged the room properly. Not only were there wooden buckets and bathwater, but there were also flower petals and colorful towels. Then, he stood at the side and waited for the young miss to come in person.
Li Mulan entered the boudoir and said,"Suxin, come and help me undress."”When he looked at his body, he was scared out of his wits."This is bad, this is bad! Su Xin, it's over now!"
"What's wrong? Miss!"
"My jade pendant is gone!" Li Mulan was almost trembling.”
"Ah?" Su Xin also panicked and said,"Then hurry up and look. Is there anything in the garden?" It might have fallen in the garden. You were practicing your sword just now.”
"Oh, right, I'll go find it myself!”After saying that, Li Mulan took a few steps forward and jumped. He landed on the ground smoothly and walked into the garden. He almost dug three feet into the ground, but there was no trace of the Suet Fat Jade.
Su Xin mobilized the servant maids and servants in the residence to search together, but there was no jade pendant's whereabouts until dark, so she could only temporarily give up the search.
Li Mulan watched as the water in the boudoir gradually cooled down. She was no longer in the mood to bathe. She could only wipe her face and hands casually and sit there in a daze.
Su Xin went forward to comfort her: " Miss, don't be sad. The jade pendant won't run away. It must still be in the residence." When the weather is better tomorrow, we'll look for it again. Don't worry, okay?”
"Su Xin, don't you know how important this jade pendant is to our Li family?”Li Mulan's eyes were lifeless. He wanted to cry but couldn't."This is a sacred object bestowed by the emperor. If it is lost, it will be a serious crime. You and I are both to blame." She was afraid just thinking about it. She wrapped her arms around herself helplessly."What should we do? What should he do now? It's all my fault." She said to herself,"If I hadn't lost my mind, I wouldn't have thought of showing it off.”
"What is it? Miss, you said that someone has seen this jade pendant before?”Su Xin was shocked." This is a treasure. Anyone who sees it will have evil thoughts. Could it have been stolen?"”
"Don't steal it?" Li Mulan thought for a moment." Oh, right. This jade pendant is so valuable. Once someone has a wild imagination, it might be stolen."”"Suxin, what should we do now?" She cried. I lost the jade pendant, but I don't want to implicate everyone!”
"Don't be anxious, miss. Don't lose your composure.”"Think about it, where have you been today?" Su Xin asked. Who had he seen? What did he say? Who else has been near you?"
After her reminder, Li Mulan was enlightened.""It's him! He must have stolen my jade pendant! He knew what was good. This scum!"
"Him?" Su Xin couldn't help but ask,"Who is the scum that Miss is talking about?" Could it be that someone had really stolen something from the Marquis's Manor?”
Li Mulan thought for a while and said,"Yes, it must be him!" I'll go find him now!" She walked out impulsively.
Su Xin pulled Miss 'arm,"Miss, don't be rash. It's already dark. Where are you going to find the jade pendant?”
"This, this, I can't just sit and wait for death.”Li Mulan was discouraged and stood there in a daze. His mind was filled with Long Junhao's damned smile.
"If you want to look for him, let the servants in the residence do it. You're a daughter of a noble family, so don't show your face in public.”"If the jade pendant was really stolen, there will definitely be a follow-up."”
"What follows?" Li Mulan muttered to himself," That's right. Maybe I'll sell it."”She looked at Su Xin,"But, what if he wants to stay and wear it himself?"”
"If it really doesn't work, then we can only report it to the officials. Old Master has many connections.”Su Xin said.
Li Mulan's face was bitter as he said," But, don't. I'm afraid my butt is going to explode."”She seemed to hear the sound of family discipline ringing in her ears.
"Ai, this servant is powerless." Su Xin said,"Miss, don't think about it first. You should eat something."”
"How can I have the appetite to eat?" "You can go down. I want to be alone for a while," said Li Mulan.”
Su Xin didn't stop him and quickly went down. Only Li Mulan was left in the room. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She planned to try her luck on the streets.
The sky was dark, and the dark and damp streets were filled with puddles of water. Li Mulan walked along the path he had taken during the day, looking down, hoping that he could find it again in the next moment. When she reached the vicinity of Goulan Courtyard, all her memories came back to life. That man called Long Junhao had once again successfully entered her heart, and she couldn't chase him away.
She thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her, and what she was thinking was right in front of her. Long Junhao stood in the brightly lit Goulan Courtyard. She rubbed her eyes. That's right, that handsome man was him. She couldn't help but feel suspicious. Had he been here all this time and never gone back?
Li Mulan touched her face. She didn't want outsiders to see her bare face. Hence, she squatted down and smeared some dirty water on her face. Then, she messed up her hair and tied it up with a headband. She did not change her male outfit, so she also smeared some dirty water on her face. She immediately turned from a lovely girl to a dirty little girl.
She told herself,"Li Mulan, go all out for your jade pendant!" Without hesitation, she walked steadily towards Goulan Courtyard.
Inside the house, Long Jun Hao was sitting and drinking tea. The reason why he didn't drink was because the great virtue didn't allow him to. The reason was that he was afraid of being punished when he went back later.
"Young Master, let's return to the residence. If we wait any longer, he won't appear.”"It's been a long day, it's time for a good sleep."”
"Are you sleepy? Do you want a cup of tea?" Long Jun Hao glared at him. This jade pendant was indeed a good thing. Anyone who lost it would be anxious. You can sleep here first. They have plenty of empty rooms.”
"Here? I won't sleep even if you beat me to death." "The girls here are good, but they are all pillows for thousands of people."”
Long Jun Hao couldn't help but laugh," How is it compared to our place?"”
"Heh, that's heaven and earth. The girls in our country are all fresh and innocent.”As soon as Da De finished speaking, under the candlelight, he saw someone come in and said,"Young Master, look, before he came, a dirty girl came!”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 03PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
