Jun Hua nodded. With Chun Maora give him a son, the status of Chun Maora must have raised. Her mother only gives birth to a daughter and knowing Chun Maora, she must have pleaded to have her son raised by her. Lin Tang also doesn’t want his first son to be a concubine born thus he agreed with that request.

“Chun Maora brother must have loved his sister so much to endure the beating. If I’m not wrong, Chun family is only a small family, right?” Jun Hua smile has turned colder. It caused the temperature in the room to drop heavily and caused chill to rise up on the body of the three girls in front of her. Cold sweats starting to pour out of their body.

“Miss…” Xia stammered.

Jun Hua realizes her mistake and she restrains herself. But that short time has made the three girls completely afraid. They cannot restore their calm so quickly.

“I’m sorry about that. Sometime I follow my brother from behind to the battlefield so there is some influence I got,” Jun Hua is making an excuse. Xia rolled her eyes in secret, that’s a completely blatant lie! That kind of chill could only be produced by people who have gone through many battles!

Madam Xie looks at Jun Hua stupefied. She never knows that a girl could possibly release such a cold aura and make her feels like she’s meeting a death reaper.

“Its fine Miss. Chun Maora is not alone, one of their family member married into Lan family so they have good support.”

“Lan family?” Jun Hua only remember that Lan Ping who’s so arrogant but cannot gain good result. Come to think about it, he has only managed to finish the task a few days before so he hadn’t returned to the capital yet.

Then Jun Hua remembers that the tone Lin San used to talk to her is indeed similar with Lan Ping. So, they’re truly related.

“Miss, you have to be careful. Getting inside this family will makes you suffer a lot,” Madam Xie is truly concerned. She has heard about Jun Hua personality. At first she’s glad that she stays with Jun family but now that she has returned, she’s starting to worry.

“Don’t worry about me. I want to take a stroll on the garden first. Maybe there’s something that I could remember from there.”

Xia takes out a cloak. “It’s getting dark soon and at night, the wind is cold.”

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Jun Hua acknowledges it. She won’t get cold easily, but it’s better to keep her behavior normal to avoid any suspicion.

Xia and the two other girls followed after Jun Hua as she strolled around. Jun Hua step stopped near a beautiful fountain. The fountain is still in good condition but there are a lot of weeds around it since this place hasn’t been used for years and they didn’t really pay attention to this place until recently.

Her small finger lightly touched the side of the fountain. The sound of crying resurfaces in her mind. Jun Hua remembered again, this is the place where her mother comes to her before they are forced to get out from the Lin family residence.

“Mom…” Jun Hua missed her mother deeply. Unbeknownst to her, her eyes turned red.

The little girl by Madam Xie side looks at Jun Hua with curiosity. She took out her handkerchief and handed it to Jun Hua.

“Big sister, don’t cry.”

Jun Hua is startled and she touches her cheek. Indeed, there are tears coming out without her knowing. She took the handkerchief and smiled.

“Thank you, what is your name little girl?”

“My name is Lin Yun,” the little girl grinned.

Jun Hua stared at Madam Xie. “By the usual law, when servants change their master, the new master will bestow a new name. Are you fine with that?”

Madam Xie nodded. “You can name her as you wish.”

“Then from today on, your name is Xiao Yun, alright?” Jun Hua handed the handkerchief back.

“Xiao Yun understands!”

Jun Hua walked back to her room with the three girls following. “Madam Xie, there will be a batch of servants delivered here tomorrow morning. Since I’m still studying at school, you will be in charge to take them around.”

“Yes Miss.”

After instructing Madam Xie about what she should do and not, Jun Hua dismissed both of them. Inside the room, only Xia and Jun Hua stayed.

“Is there anything you need, Miss?”

Jun Hua leaned back. “Xia, I want you to memorize this place quickly. We are going to stay here for some time.”

Xia nodded. “For how long exactly Miss?”

“I’m not sure. If we’re lucky, it’s going to be 1 year.”

1 year? Xia almost blanked out when she hears Jun Hua words. How can that possibly be lucky? In one year Jun Hua will be 15 and it’s the age where a girl gets married. Does she want her marriage partner be decided by Chun Maora?

Seeing the expression on Xia face, Jun Hua knows that the girl thought has gone awry but she didn’t do anything to correct her. It’s only her estimation, but she herself didn’t know how much time she will stay here. Anyway, while she stays in this place, it will be better for her to learn about woman things as soon as possible so she will not be a disgrace.

“Xia, you will be in charge of all the servants’ girls here.”

Xia faces light up. She has been serving by Jun Hua side for years and vowed to always stay with her. Jun Hua words are like telling her that she’s the one that Jun Hua trusted the most among the girls’ servants. This kind of things truly makes her ecstatic.

Jun Hua dismissed Xia after a few more words. Since this place is different with her place, she cannot go around as she wishes. After thinking for a while, Jun Hua soon falls asleep.
