After the new emperor ascended the throne, envoys from various nations gradually departed the Great Jin Nation. The Great Prince Ba Tulu of Liaodan and the Crown Prince Wanyan Chao of Qing Luo Kingdom also left one after the other. Although one harbored unfulfilled ambitions and the other left with lingering reluctance, they ultimately departed. Once the people left, the Great Jin Nation resud its forr tranquility, and Mu Chongwu regained his past leisure.
That day, after seeing off Wanyan Chao, Chong Wu suddenly rembered the fallen noblewoman he had left at the dical Center. Now having so free ti, he went to visit her.
This ti, it had been over a month since he last ca to see her. Although he hadn’t visited, he had always received news about this Miss.
It was said that after taking the century-old ginseng he sent over, she recovered very quickly. Normally, it takes over a hundred days for a person to completely recover from injuries involving muscles and bones. However, after she consud the old ginseng left in the Mansion by her older sister, she was able to get up and take care of herself within a month. Although still weak, with the various supplents he sent, it was expected that she would soon be fully recovered.
Her nanny had also recovered early on. The elderly was not suffering from a significant illness initially; it was just an acute condition caused by an anxiety attack. Now that the Miss had found a supporter, she was no longer anxious or upset, naturally relieving her condition as well.
When Chong Wu arrived at the dical Center, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw only the Miss sitting alone under the willow tree, wearing a moon-white Beizi, playing the zither with her back to him.
After not seeing her for a month, she had beco much thinner than when they first t. Her slender and weak figure in that loosely hanging moon-white Beizi seed as if even a breeze could blow her away.
Just looking at her could make one feel heartache!
She hadn’t noticed anyone entering; she was still focused on playing the zither. The sound was beautiful, as lodious as a mountain spring. Along with the clear and lodious zither’s sound, the girl softly sang:
The wind sighs deeply, and the autumn air is profound, the beautiful person lants a thousand miles away alone. Longing for the hotown, where is it? Leaning on the railing with tears staining the robe.
After a pause, she sang again:
The mountains are far, the waters are long, moonlight shines on the window. Sleeplessly pondering as the Milky Way stretches afar, the Luo Shan flutters in the cool wind and dew.
Chong Wu, though not familiar with the zither, could hear the lancholy in the sound and the lyrics. Looking at her frail figure, a sense of sympathy arose in his heart.
This girl was originally a nobleman’s daughter, ant to live like Cai Die raised in the deep chamber, waited upon by many, as if the moon encircled by stars, with clothes and als presented at her will. Now fallen to this, forced to show herself in public, performing arts at the restaurant, subject to bullying, she must be very upset!
As he was thinking this, he heard the girl sing again:
Unfree is your situation, troubled is my fate. Your heart and mine ld together, thinking of the ancients, free of bla. Life in this world is like light dust, heaven and earth feel the predestined affinity. Feel the predestined affinity, oh how it tugs, pure heart, how could it be the moon in the sky!
Chong Wu was imrsed in her zither music, savoring it carefully, when suddenly a woman called out, "Oh my, Master Mu, when did you co in, and why didn’t you say a word?"
It was the girl’s nanny speaking. She was carrying a bowl of freshly brewed dicine, coming out from the inner room. Seeing Chong Wu standing behind the girl listening to the music, she called out.
Mu Chongwu laughed and said, "Just arrived, heard your girl playing the zither, afraid to disturb her elegant interest, did not dare to announce, so I waited a while."
"Oh dear, the way you say it, really flatters us."
The nanny politely replied. Upon hearing Chong Wu had arrived, the girl stood up, turned her head, and with her hands placed to the side of her body, gave a formal bow to Chong Wu: "Master Mu, Wan’er greets you."
Turns out she’s called Wan’er, what a lovely na!
Chong Wu said, "Wan’er, neighbor to the west, a youthful face like the morning glow. Miss, so your na is Wan’er, truly a wonderful na."
