Chapter 205 Her Origin
"Flowers do not speak!"
His sinister gaze carried a hint of warning. He had already let Qingque investigate him thoroughly. It turned out that this guy was also interested in women. No wonder she was so eager to be with Yan'er that day. She was truly wanton and shameless!
"Oh dear! What's wrong with me admiring a beautiful woman?"
"Brother, you suddenly left last night to go see Sister Shuiyi? Why haven't you mentioned her before?"
Xin Moyan's hand was held tightly by Shui Yi, so she simply sat down on a nearby chair, while Hua Buyu and Xin Moling sat opposite them.
"Hmm." Mentioning Shuiyi, his originally sharp eyes suddenly softened considerably.
“Yan’er, I was leading troops on a campaign a while ago and accidentally saved Yi’er at the border, which caused me to be delayed for a few more days. I originally planned to bring Yi’er to meet you after this court meeting, but last night at the banquet, I received a letter from my subordinates saying that Yi’er came to the capital to find me, but was almost robbed by bandits on the way. That’s why I rushed to another place.”
"What? Robbery? Sister Yi'er, are you alright?"
“I’m fine, it’s just…” Shui Yi stopped midway through her sentence, turned to look at Xin Moling, her eyes filled with an inscrutable emotion, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"It's just that it worries Ah Ling."
"Oh my god! Miss Shuiyi, what's going on... Waaaaah~ Yan Yan, I'm heartbroken." Hua Buyu turned around and leaned on Xin Moyan's shoulder, pretending to cry.
Seeing the two gazing at each other across the distance, their eyes filled with such deep affection that they seemed to be about to burst into tears, Xin Moyan was slightly taken aback. Then, a maternal smile bloomed on her lips, one that she couldn't suppress no matter what.
She asked excitedly, "Brother, so... does that mean Yan'er is going to have a new sister-in-law?"
He gently grasped her fair, delicate hand with his large hand, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. “We have been traveling all night and have not rested yet. I have already ordered someone to prepare a room for us. Once Yi’er has had enough rest, I will take her to the palace tomorrow and ask His Majesty and my aunt to bestow a marriage upon us.”
Upon hearing this, Hua Buyu exclaimed "Wow!" again, "Xin Moling, I never expected that such a noble and elegant girl as Shui Yi would fall into your hands."
Xin Moling could no longer bear it and smacked her on the head. "Hua Buyu, Yi'er and I are in love. If you say another word of nonsense, I'll have Qingque throw you into the military camp for exercises."
"Ah!" She covered her head, feigning pitifulness and heartbreak, staring at Shui Yi with a wronged expression.
"Miss Shuiyi, did you see that? Xin Moling hit a woman!"
"Look at yourself, what kind of woman are you? Yi'er, remember this: Hua Buyu is no normal woman. You should have less contact with her in the future. Forget it, Yi'er, you might as well not talk to her at all."
Hua Buyu instantly became furious, put her hands on her hips, and shouted angrily, "Hey! Xin Moling, you really don't give me any face! No matter what, Miss Shuiyi is a newcomer, and Yan Yan and I should be more hospitable to her. Can you please stop maliciously slandering me in front of Miss Shuiyi?"
"That's the truth, and I don't want to argue with you about it. In short, you are not allowed to get close to Yi'er."
"Why should I? I want it!"
After speaking, Hua Buyu quickly stepped forward and took Shui Yi's other arm. "Miss Shui Yi, Buyu sincerely wants to be friends with you. Do you... want to listen to Xin Moling?"
Seeing that annoying hand holding Shui Yi, Xin Moling was furious and roared, "Hua Buyu, let go!"
"I do not!"
Shuiyi was quite surprised by the way the two of them got along. After all, A-Ling was always extremely gentle in front of her, never raised his voice, and never used force. Yan'er was indeed a very interesting friend!
"Hehe~ Ah Ling, don't be like that, I also like the girl who doesn't speak."
"Xin Moling, did you hear that?"
She glanced triumphantly at Xin Moling, then said enthusiastically, "Shuiyi, I'll call you that from now on. You can call me 'I Don't Talk' just like Yan Yan does."
"Hmm, no comment."
"Ahhh~ Shuiyi, your voice is so beautiful, you're so gentle!"
"Flowers do not speak!"
"What! I'm not deaf, don't scare Shuiyi."
Hua Buyu waved his hand impatiently at him, then gave Xin Moyan a wink, and she quickly went to his side.
"Shuiyi, judging from your clothes and attire, you don't seem to be from Yuanqi. Could it be that you're here for the Yuanqi court assembly?"
"Yes, I am not from Yuanqi. I have come here to find A-Ling."
She curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Why would I look for him? But it's fortunate that I looked for him, otherwise I wouldn't have met you. Xin Moling said the room is ready. You must be tired. Yan Yan and I will take you there now. You can talk to us about your business while you're there."
Seeing her brother standing to the side with a visible gloom on his face, Xin Moyan hurriedly said, "Brother, Sister Shuiyi is new here and must have many questions. Let Buyu and I take her to rest first. You must be tired too, brother. Please have someone prepare water for a bath and get some rest."
He thought this made sense, after all, they were both women and could be more considerate in many ways, so his expression softened a lot. "Yan'er, please take good care of Yi'er for your brother."
Xin Moyan's eyes instantly curved into crescents. It was the first time she had ever seen her brother with this expression. So... her brother likes gentle girls!
"Yes, don't worry, brother!"
She made a promise, then took Shuiyi's arm and said, "Sister Yi'er, Buyu and I will take you to rest."
"Alright! Thank you for your trouble, Yan'er."
"No trouble at all! No trouble at all! Sister Yi'er, I'll show you the layout of the house later, so you can settle in here with peace of mind."
"That's right! Shuiyi, once you've rested enough, I'll take you to Yunxianglou for dinner!"
The two of them linked arms with Shui Yi, walking and chatting, completely forgetting about Xin Moling.
After some conversation, they learned that Shuiyi came from an ancient, isolated tribe on the border. She was the only child of her parents, and both of them passed away in the past two years. Some members of the tribe saw that she was in the prime of her life and all alone, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to force her into their home. Unable to bear the thought of this, she secretly left the tribe. However, she was unfamiliar with the roads of the four kingdoms and encountered danger and fainted on the border. Coincidentally, Xin Moling was returning to the capital at that time and came to her rescue. The two became acquainted as a result, and after spending several days together, they gradually developed feelings for each other.
Having learned the whole story, Shui Yi is now all alone and destitute. No wonder Xin Moling immediately asked to enter the palace and ask the Emperor and Empress Dowager to grant her a marriage; it turns out she has no one at home...
Feeling bad about disturbing Shuiyi's rest any longer, they comforted her for a few moments and then left the room.
As Hua Buyu walked, she sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk~ Yan Yan, I didn't expect your future sister-in-law's fate to be so bumpy."
"Luckily, Sister Shuiyi met Brother, otherwise she would be bullied. Buyu, Sister Shuiyi is so gentle!"
"Mmmmmmm!"
