On the other hand, Xu slumped down, as if her strength left her the mont she saw Yui i.
Youre such a weird girl, you know.
You think so?
Xu wryly smiled, but Yui i just tilted her head.
I just greeted her like normal, so why did she tell that Im weird?
Yui i looked baffled, so Libin poked her head.
This is the penitentiary, so naturally, no one who would greet people as cheerfully as you do.
Libin comnted, and Yui i couldnt help but agree and think that it must be true.
Most of the people imprisoned here were basically criminals, so it should be futile to show affection to such people.
It might even be unfortunate if they harbored false hopes that they would be saved after showing them such sweetness.
Xu mustve gotten used to the cold treatnt in the penitentiary after spending a few days here.
Well, its not like Im one of the staff of the Ministry of Justice.
Yui i ca because shes an acquaintance of Xu, so it shouldnt be weird to greet her cheerfully as such.
Besides, it wasnt decided yet that Xu was to be punished.
Im just a re housekeeper, so Im not familiar with the practices here in the penitentiary, you know. Rather than that, Miss Xu, what do you want to talk about today?
Ti was limited, so Yui i went straight to the point.
The conversation was directed to Xu, so she heaved a deep sigh as if to strengthen her resolve before she started speaking.
Since you told off last ti, I spent a lot of ti thinking about it, about what that person would want to to do.
Is that so? Then, have you arrived at the answer?
Yui i replied, when she suddenly recalled sothing.
Co to think of it, Xu was the esteed daughter of a prestigious rchant, wasnt she?
In that case, then Xu should have used a more polite manner of speaking in the past instead of what she was currently doing, shouldnt she?
Moreover, there were many won who ca from wealthy families among the courtesans, so her manner of speech that was considered crude even in the standards of the commoners mustve put her in a negative light.
Perhaps, this was Xus rebellion in her own way, or maybe it was her own thod of bidding farewell to her past.
Yui i inwardly pondered these things while Xu continued on.
It was a long ti ago, when I just t that person. I just rembered how we disagreed about sothing trivial and ended up making an odd promise because of it.
Her lover was a soldier, so it was only natural that his job was far more high-risk compared to hers.
Xu had been worried because of that, so she implored that he took another safer job. Her lover replied that it was the only thing that he could do.
Besides, he said, his body was sturd so he wouldnt die so easily.
Still, Xu thought about the what-ifs, so he then told her this.
Well then, if I did die, please play the lute in my funeral. If you send off with the music of your lute, I feel quite sure that Ill be able to et you once again in the next life.
Dont utter such ominous things!
Xu got mad, and she also told him peevishly that he too would surely find a maiden who was more beautiful and charming than her in his next life.
Her lover assured her that theres no way he would as he tried to soothe her anxiously.
They made up after that and they never argued about this matter since then.
Moreover, her parents were also considering taking him in as their son-in-law so that he could quit being a soldier imdiately, so Xu forgot all about it.
Yeah, that person might not be able to go to the underworld and might keep on wandering around the battlefield for a long ti if I dont play the lute. That guys a huge fool who calls a music fairy when Im so far from being a beauty myself..
That guys eyes are so bad so Im sure he wouldnt be able to find his way if there are no guides.
Xu was crying and laughing while saying that.
Outstanding won were usually likened to a fairy, but most of the ti it was used for gorgeous beauties.
Thus, there were tis when she was referred to as fairy as a combination of praise and sarcasm by others.
It could be said that it was a subtle exchange between won.
However, there were also people who were sincere whenever they praised her for being a fairy from ti to ti. Xus lover must have been one of those without malice.
