The Blind Maiden
12. Lied

"Sister, where did you come from ? Why didn't I see you before ?" Su Lian asked while in the horse carriage.

"Ah, that's me going to the toilet. After all, it was very crowded and provoked anxiety in me. " Su Qionglin said.

"Ohh, I also wanted to go to the toilet but could not because I was forced by Mom to experience so many officials and unattractive young men. " Su Lian took her breath in annoyance.

"It's okay, there are many people who are happy and want to greet the Crown Princess Candidate. " Reply Su Qionglin tried to say a good thing and encouraged Su Lian.

Su Lian observed Su Qionglin attentively before finally seeing that there was something strange about Su Qionglin's dress.

"Sister, is there anyone who oppresses you ? Why is there soil at your feet ?!" Su Lian asked frantically and worriedly but Su Qionglin held her back while holding back a laugh.

"No. I only saw lily planted around the pond in the back. So, subconsciously while squatting I lost my balance and fell to my knees, and yes this is the result. I deliberately didn't want to tell because I was embarrassed. " Su Qionglin answered lying seamlessly.

It was true that there were lily flowers planted around the pond where her handkerchief was dropped by Ling Yi.

He would not tell Ling Yi's matter to anyone, because Su Qionglin knew that this would be a big deal.

Not to mention, he could have been accused of being a liar, just as Ling Yi had saved him before, if he had said this to the crowd then people would not necessarily believe him.

Instead it will turn to him and accuse him with hurtful words to hear.

Su Qionglin felt frightened alone without anyone knowing, where she felt alone hugging tightly into herself.

Was he really going to be entangled with Ling Yi for the rest of his life like the one in his dreams ?

Su Qionglin did not want to enter such a hell, it was not a good future, in front of it there was only a bloody path left behind by his mother.

If he could, then Su Qionglin only wanted to marry a man from an ordinary family who was responsible and humble so as to be able to build a small family.

Su Qionglin was rightfully frightened until cold sweat had soaked his clothes, going to the Palace for the first time had caused baseless anxiety to him.

Su Qionglin treated his own wound that was on the knee, there were many scratches included on his hand but not large and also did not drain blood.

Su Qionglin sat on his bed when it was done, thinking about everything that happened today made Su Qionglin difficult to sleep.

He felt that he was too heavy to meet Ling Yi again in his dreams, so all night Su Qionglin did not sleep at all and just waited patiently.

Until finally there was the sound of crowing chickens signaling that the morning had arrived, Su Qionglin felt uninspired before finally feeling that someone was coming.

"Second Miss, Master invited everyone to breakfast together and has prepared a dress for the second Miss. " Say the maid said while showing the clothes prepared by Su Bei.

"Miss, haven't you slept all night ? Your eyes are swollen, I'll help you put on makeup. " Say the waiter.

"Not really, I just don't feel good. "Reply Su Qionglin lied.

"Are you a new servant ? I don't remember that there was a very friendly servant like you ?" Su Qionglin asked after a while.

" Ah ? Friendly like me? I'm indeed a new waitress Miss, just entered last week. Has the servant been not very friendly to their master ?" Ask the new waiter curiously.

"They're friendly to their employers, certainly not me. " Su Qionglin replied casually.

"How could that be ? Actually, I also feel tired working here after one week, I might stop after two weeks of work. " Say the young servant with a sigh.

"Why is that ? How do you want to find the next money ? But, it's also good that you stop because the environment here is toxic. There are many servants who are venomous and destructive to others, it is not good to live with this kind of person. It's good to find a new environment that is healthier and more comfortable for yourself. " Su Qionglin said wisely.

"Actually, the second Miss is only you who know this secret, please don't tell the others. I'm actually a noble's daughter who's running away from home, my father's always looking for me where. " Say the young servant while giggling.

"Noble princess ? Who ?" Su Qionglin asked while frowning.

"Noble Zhuang, Zhuang Qingyi. My father was the minister of war Zhuang Lingsan. " The young girl replied with a light laugh.

"Are you serious ? Did Madam Su find out about this when she checked on you ?" Su Qionglin asked strangely.

"No, of course not. I used the identity of a waitress who was in my house. The only one who knows of my existence is my brother, Zhuang Zhiqi. If you do not know then he is the most talented person on the face of this earth, at the age of just 19 years, he has become a scholar with the best grades and got the title Zhuangyuan. " Said Zhuang Qingyi proudly.

(Zhuangyuan is given to the person with the value of the whole perfect subject. )

"In addition, he earned the title of being the best debater in this Ling Empire. In addition to this, there was also a chess game won by him. She's really perfect, isn't Miss interested in my sister ?" Ask Zhuang Qingyi.

"No, I haven't met him how could I be interested ? Isn't it weird to be interested in just hearing someone else's description ?" Su Qionglin asked honestly.

"Right as well, let's find some time to meet my brother. He was a good and honest man, only sometimes a little sneaky. I was looking for my sister a woman so she wouldn't bring a tigress by accident to bully me at home. " Answer Zhuang Qingyi.

"Then, do your Father and Mother know of all these actions of yours ?" Su Qionglin asked with a deep sense of suspicion.

"Not really, they just knew that I ran away for fear of being beaten. Lastly, I made a rumor that my brother was an arm cut that made my Dad and Mom panic for fear that their reputation would be tarnished, they started to match him with many women. " Zhuang Qingyi's laughter could not be restrained when recounting this.

(Cut off the arm means gay. )
