These are all due to his unfilial conduct. This ti, he wishes to compromise for once, accept the goodwill of the elders, and be a child or grandchild who no longer worries the elders!
"Young Master, it’s ti to take your dicine. Please have your dicine first!"
A maiden, who bore a striking resemblance to Xiang Yun, carefully poured his soup dicine from the stove and brought it to him.
"Just put it down for now; I’ll drink it later," Mo Zili said softly, gazing in the direction out the window.
Outside, that grand procession had already disappeared from view, but he was still reluctant to retract his gaze. Having t today, who knows when he would see her again? Perhaps, in this lifeti, they might never et again; if they do, it will have to wait for the next life...
"But... Young Master, the Old Mada instructed you to take your dicine on ti, and your body is weak; it’s not good to sit by the window for long. You might catch a chill," the maiden earnestly advised, her eyes never leaving that lancholic, handso face, her infatuation unconsciously revealed!
She was a daughter of a poor family, living with her parents and brothers in a remote and barren countryside, cultivating a few acres of thin land, residing in a few rooms of ramshackle straw huts that barely sheltered from the wind and rain, eating coarse grain buns, wild vegetables in clear soup, and in bad years even had to eat grass seeds, wild vegetables, and tree bark...
From childhood, she was betrothed to a limping tile worker from a neighboring village, with the understanding that they would marry after the national mourning for the Empress Dowager this year. Unexpectedly, one day, a few well-dressed people ca to her ho, accompanied by the local county magistrate and the local official. Those people presented her parents with five hundred taels of silver, wanting to buy her to be a maid in the Capital.
Her parents had labored all their lives, yet hadn’t saved even an ounce of silver. Suddenly having five hundred taels, the fortune literally overwheld them.
She was also willing to go to the Capital to be a maid because she didn’t want to marry the limping and ugly countryman. Especially when she saw the county magistrate and the usually majestic local official fawning and displaying slavish submission before those people, she beca even more certain that the place she was going was a good place, an unattainable heaven for most people.
Thus, her parents signed a trade docunt with that group, and for the radiant five hundred taels, her parents unhesitatingly stamped their fingerprints on the docunt...
Later, she ca with these people to the Capital and moved into the heavenly Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, and saw a young master so handso that she was astonished. Compared to her betrothed limping tile worker back in the countryside, it was simply a world apart, no, like the difference between clouds and dog feces, making her heart race just at a glance, unable to look away.
Unfortunately, the young master’s leg was broken, reportedly injured during the Earth dragon turnover and now he couldn’t even walk.
She felt heartache, such a good-looking young master, soone as extraordinary as a celestial being, how could he beco disabled?
Before, she only felt disgust towards her limping fiancé, but ever since eting him, her heart ached, filled with a desire to take good care of him, wanting to stay by his side, even willing to be the lowest maid, she would still find it as sweet as honey!
Along with her, there were a dozen other maids serving him. Upon eting each other, they were all astonished to discover that they all had so resemblance to each other, making them appear like sisters, and they ca from all corners of the Great Jin Nation. Truly, it was a mystery how Duke Li Guo’s Mansion had found them!
However, while their appearances were similar, their backgrounds were different: so like her, daughters of poor families; others were unmarried young won from modest families, and there was even a daughter from a local silk rchant’s family, a foster daughter from a middle-class family, and a courtesan from a brothel...
