Late at night, Zhao Li Xin left without waking her up she only dreams he kissed her lips gently before he went, Lory awaked feeling rather lost, maybe because this is not their home she feel lonely when he is gone, it's been a while since she feel alone like this.
Lory have no motivation to left the bed so she wasted her morning toss and turn in her bed, Lory sniffed the blanket as Zhao Li Xin scent still linger on the blanket and the sheet, something prick her heart as she misses him already.
[How long you gonna stay on bed?] Girsha watch her from the small table beside the bed.
[For as long as I want…] Lory carelessly said.
[Don't forget, the boy subordinated need to contact you but he wouldn't able to do that if you lay around on the bed] Girsha reminds her.
[Uggh, I know…] lory grunt as she pull the blanket to cover half her head but abruptly puss the blanket away [Oh yeah, id there any news about the Chen who meeting with Mo Ning Yuan]
[No not yet, that woman has returned to her home and locked herself on her courtyard like a good young lady, other than having an intimate relationship with her subordinated she doesn't meet with any man] said Girsha.
[What a bummer] Lory sigh disappointedly, she knew it wouldn't be easy to reveal this 'Chen' guy.
[But I heard a lot of rumor about this Mo girl] Girsha flew and landed smoothly in front of Lory [You know what, why all the maids in every household love to gossip…..] Girsha pretend to be complains but his eyes glint with excitement.
[They young and got nothing to do, what you're excused….] Lory teased him, from a long time ago Girsha was always become her resource for juicy gossip, not just in here but also in her old world.
[Do you want to hear or not?] Girsha narrowed his eyes.
Lory rest her back on a bed headboard then she said lazily [shoot….]
Girsha ignores lory unexcited expression [Alright, the maids said the young miss changed a lot after the young master mo dies, they said that young Miss Mo used to be sweet and bubbly but after her brother dies she become quiet and distance and it become worst when the patriarch of Mo family who is her father bedridden after the shock of losing his son, from then on the Mo family is crumbling, the branch of mo family is slowly taking hold of the family power and she was left alone]
Lory rubbed her chin then she got out of the bed and pour mineral water on the bowl [Li Xin also suspicious about how the young master Mo death] Lory said with a hoarse voice, then she drink water to moisten her throat, she feel better after she clear her throat [I think the key is the young master Mo death, if we know how he dies we get on something…]
[Oh about that, I heard something interesting] Girsha wiggle his inexistence eyebrows [There was a time The Mo girl blame someone name….Xie..Ling something…]
[Xie Hua Ling?] lory guessed.
[Yeah, that one!] Girsha exclaimed [They said that man is the one who caused her brother death!] Girsha become excited, the human is such an interesting creature, so much drama – so much fun~
[Aaah….that interesting] she crossed her arms upon her c.h.e.s.t while pondering then she asked again [Then what happened?]
[The mo patriarch try to investigate but he got nowhere, it was shocked the entire society because the young master mo and that Xie….something is a close friend so many people doubt that Mo girl accusation, thankfully the Xie family didn't take to the heart with the Mo girl accusation they believe is because the Mo girls are overwhelmed by her grief and need someone or something to vent, the citizens applaud the Xie family benevolence attitude and their reputation take a leaped and bound, on contrary, the Mo reputation is ruined then not long after the Mo patriarch is heavily ill and it starts the ruined of the Mo family…you think it's all coincidence?] Girsha sneers.
[Pitty on her?] Girsha could already be judged by Lory's expression.
[Yeah, but that doesn't mean I forgive her for seducing my man…] Lory humph as she gets behind the screen to change her clothes and continue her talks [So let me get this straight, Xie Hua Ling responsible for the death of young master Mo and the reason of her father sick then she get angry, took a side with Chen family and make my Li Xin work for her as a mole but what I don't get it is why someone from Chen family helps her?] Lory got out with a new clean dress.
[Well, she might give herself for the Chen?] Girsha shrugs his wings.
Lory mouth twitched slightly [No, people in this world are always about loss and profit, if that Chen wants to get laid he can find any women to be his concubines, so why he lend a hand to Mo Ning Yuan?]
Girsha didn't understand how human think, for a beast even a first kind like him the human mind is to deep and complex to understand, he always failed to understand but that what make them interesting to watch, Girsha flap his wings [who knows? I'll keep watching her and see what happen]
[Hm…] Lory hummed, she didn't have a better option other than that. She washes her face and brushes her teeth then having breakfast on her own while her mind is contemplating her next moves. At first, she and Zhao Li Xin only looking for the record to find the origin of the Crimson Lightning swords, perhaps they can figure it out the next piece of the map but who knows they will stumble into a conspiracy when they arrived.
All of the sudden a pebble hit her arms lightly, it didn't hurt only startled her, Girsha perched on the pavilion roof see the shadow behind the tree outside their courtyard [Lory someone is there]
[I don't think is enemy isn't it?] Lory said calmly if that man is enemy the array around her would react and that man should throw a weapon, not a pebble.
[No, maybe the boy subordinated] Girsha said.
Girsha seeping to lory c.h.e.s.t in high speed before anyone notices then Lory strides behind the tree, a man about thirty years old with thick facial hair welcome her with courteous manner "Greeting young madam, my name is Mong Gui, I'll be at you're service" he bow his head politely.
"Nice to meet you Mong Gui" Lory return his gesture in the same manner.
Mong Gui had heard rumors about his lord wife, some people said the young madam is gentle lady some said she is a smart and wise lady but some people also said that their young madam have a mysterious power, in the end there's a lot of mystery surrounding his young madam as a servant he has no opinion about his Lord wife he just does what his Lord told him to do.
"Do you have a safe place we can talk, I have something to inform you?" Lory said in low voice.
"Yes, of course, young madam"
Mong Gui lead lory to the bas.e.m.e.nt where he brought Zhao Li Xin was. Lory amazed there's a such a place in the rundown courtyard, lory suddenly got curious "How do you find this place?"
"It belonged to one of the young master, who was peculiar tasted with women, he liked to bring women here and tortured them, everyone suspicious but no one dares to ask question or perhaps no one care because the victim is a maid or wasted woman, so I…..put the end of that man with my own hand"
"Good things you do something…" Lory shows her consent, in the world where authority is no used and rich powerful people able to get away from everything is a good thing someone put an end of them.
Mong Gui smiles faintly but Lory can see his face because she walks behind his back "And this place is abandoned ever since and I took advantages of it, I hope this place would make you uncomfortable" this bas.e.m.e.nt is the cold witness all the brutal acted that man committed to a lot of innocent young girl, it's also because of this no one dares to get close to this place, most people in this world believed in superstitious so they consider this place as a bad omen.
"Don't be I've been going to worst place" Lory casually said.
