No matter how you asked, Fan Yi just wouldn’t speak up, and Yin Guihua was an impatient person. She imdiately took out her cell phone and dialed her elder sister’s number.
It was already past eleven o’clock, and Yin Guihua’s elder sister was just an ordinary rural woman who had gone to bed early. But Yin Guihua, eager for definite news, had actually called seven tis in a row. Just as she was about to hang up, the other party finally answered.
A sowhat muffled male voice ca through, "Hello, who is it?"
"Elder sister, elder brother-in-law, is that you, brother-in-law?"
"Oh, Guihua, what’s up? Did sothing happen to you?"
Yin Guihua’s brother-in-law, also a genuine farr, imdiately woke up when he heard Yin Guihua’s voice, and the decibel level of his speech rose significantly.
"Brother-in-law, I’m fine. I just want to know if anything happened to Fan Yi’s family?"
"Yeah, there’s been a big disaster. All of the orchards they contracted have been hit by a disaster."
"Are all the fruit trees producing rotten fruit?"
"Exactly, it’s even being reported on the TV news now. The province has also sent so experts over, but even those experts couldn’t tell what the problem was after staying for two days and then they left. Now their family has no hope at all, not to ntion this year’s harvest is ruined, just the cooperative’s money alone is unpayable, and with the orchard hit by such a disaster, so say it’s a problem with the soil and water, so say it’s the feng shui."
"What are they going to do?"
"I heard that her parents are already planning to marry her off to Old Wang’s son from the cooperative. Old Wang is willing to lend them around a hundred thousand to tide them over."
"Bastard! It’s that fat Wang again, he still dares to set his sights on Fan Yi!"
"Alright, you should mind your own business as well. That’s their family’s affair, and there’s nothing a girl like you can manage." At this point, a woman’s voice ca through, "Why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour, fussing over unnecessary worries?"
"I got it!"
Yin Guihua hung up the phone and looked up at you intently, saying, "Little Yun, this ti, only you can help Fan Yi."
"Don’t worry, if it’s just a matter of money, that’s not a problem. Besides, I’m thinking of taking this opportunity to visit Tianji Village myself."
"Why are you going to our village? It’s nothing but poverty and hardship, city folks like you will just find it boring and uninteresting."
For soone like Yin Guihua, who grew up in a remote mountain village, the greatest aning of her life was to leave Tianji Village, settle down in Yuhang City, and ensure that her descendants wouldn’t have to endure hardship anymore.
"There are so things I must figure out."
With that, you took Fan Yi’s delicate jade-like hand, which was tender and without a single callus—a rarity for a country girl. It was hard to imagine how she maintained it so well.
"Fan Yi, rest assured, as long as I’m here, nobody can sell you off cheaply."
Fan Yi looked up, nodding sowhat comprehendingly.
One day later, Yamato, Tokyo International Airport.
Inside the airport’s VIP lounge, a man wearing gold-rimd glasses, showing off a suave appearance that could make many naive girls scream, strode up to a VIP private room holding a large bouquet of roses.
He adjusted his hair, took out a small mirror from his pocket to check his face, and revealed a smile he thought charming.
Finally, he knocked on the private room door.
"Didn’t we say we don’t need service?"
Xiu opened the door and saw a spectacled Little White Face standing there. He was slightly taken aback and asked, "Who are you?"
"Hello, nice to et you, my na is Miyamoto Saburo."
"Get lost."
Xiu was very unceremonious as he shut the door.
"Xiu, who was that outside?"
Wu Qiuyue stood up from the couch and asked softly.
"I don’t know, a Little White Face holding a huge bunch of flowers, probably preparing to offer them to the Empress."
"Such insect-like creatures, actually daring to even dream of an audience with the Empress." Wu Qiuyue glanced at the Empress, who was nestled on the sofa with her eyes slightly closed, lying in an extrely enticing posture, and whispered, "The Empress ca out of seclusion early; sothing must have happened. Her mood is very unstable now, we absolutely cannot let the outside scum spoil the Empress’s mood."
"Mhm, I understand.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The sound of knocking ca again.
"Snuff him out!" A vicious glint flashed in Wu Qiuyue’s eyes.
"Yes."
Xiu opened the door, and just as Miyamoto Saburo was about to speak outside, Xiu quickly stretched out his arm to cover his mouth, pushed him out directly, then quickly choked his neck, ensuring he wouldn’t make a sound, and dragged him toward the washroom.
Wu Qiuyue gently closed the door, and as she turned around, she was suddenly startled!
The Empress had awoken!
"This servant pays respects to the Empress!"
Wu Qiuyue quickly perford a salute.
The Empress’s face was cold, her captivating eyes opened and closed slightly, and she asked in a light, seductive voice, "What ti is it?"
"Reporting to the Empress, there is a quarter of an hour till the plane takes off."
"Hmm, doesn’t I rember that we need to set off two quarters of an hour before the plane takes off?"
"The Empress is wise, indeed that is the case. However, this airline is a business under the Imperial Alliance, so you can take off whenever you wish. If you feel tired, you may rest a while longer; the plane will wait for you."
"No need, let’s go; this matter must be resolved as soon as possible."
Wu Qiuyue, with her head half-bowed, eyes circled within their sockets, bent forward to ask, "This servant dares to ask a question."
"Speak."
"Your visit to the Yin Ruins this ti, may I inquire as to the purpose?"
The Empress paused, then said, "Telling you won’t hurt, after all, you are also from the Wu Family Clan."
"The Empress allowing this servant to enter the Wu Family genealogy, I have always kept it in mind, I will certainly do my utmost to assist the Empress..."
"Enough of those high-sounding words, there’s no need to say them every day." The Empress slowly sat upright, her long jade legs drawing across the air, cocking a very sexy crossed leg, and said softly, "My Wu Family Clan, tracing back to its origin, are the direct descendants of Shang Tang. Deep within the Yin Ruins lies the secret of the Wu Family Clan. My father on his deathbed shared this secret with and Wu Wuhao; he said among the two of us sisters, one is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Maiden. He told us that when we achieve the imperial endeavor, we should go to the depths of the Yin Ruins to unlock the secret that’s been buried for thousands of years."
As she spoke, the Empress’s emotions began to fluctuate slowly.
Wu Qiuyue suddenly felt a sharp pressure on her chest; then, all the small items in the room began to float slowly!
"How could I have never imagined that my dearest elder sister and the one I loved the most would treat this way!"
"Bang!"
The Empress’s jade hand waved lightly at the air in front of her, the air suddenly contracted, and with a loud noise, a large section of the wall of the box collapsed inward!
"Empress, calm your anger!"
Wu Qiuyue hastened to kneel.
"Wu Wuhao, she deserves death!"
The Empress abruptly stood up, her cold eyes staring at Wu Qiuyue, and asked, "What is Wu Wuhao’s na in this life?"
After a mont’s hesitation, Wu Qiuyue lifted her head and said, "Reporting to the Empress, her na is Wu Qiyi."
