292 The Bitter Truth

Two months ago, the Xu family mansion.

“Sister Mei’er!” there was a beautiful and delicate young girl, none other than XuLan who entered the room belonging to one of the little maids, the room occupied by LiMei and the other two maids who slept with her. The other two maids excused themselves out because the young lady was looking for LiMei for her personal business.

LiMei seemed to ignore her, the beautiful young girl with a shining face was busy tidying up her clothes, it seemed like she was planning a long trip.

LiMei is indeed so beautiful, but, the girl is not as perfect as she looks when she turned her head to see XuYan who was standing in the doorway, the condition that made her had to give up her will to look for another job out there because no one would accept a girl with the disfigured half face, her eye looks injured, extending like a burn from his forehead to her cheek, it’s not an old scar, looks like the girl got the wound recently.

XuYan waved her at her maid who was standing behind her to leave them alone, the pretty girl smiled broadly and approached her sister.

“Sister, why didn’t you come out when I called you? We have a plan to go to the city to buy some clothes right? Sister can’t go there alone.”

LiMei finally sat down facing her sister, although, the girl was still disappointed with something her sister said the other day.

“Eh Sis, Mei’er, going back to Blue village for a while, grandma is not feeling so well now, and no one can take care of her but Mei’er”

XuYan sat beside LiMei, stroking the girl’s hair gently.

.....

“Little sister, how if big Sister misses you later? what if Big Sister wants to braid my hair, no one can do it as best as Mei’er”

LiMei stood up from her seat.

“Sis, um, Mei’er, may not come back to this house again, Grandmother is old, and she only has Mei’er, earlier, Mei’er thought by coming and working in this house and earning money for grandmother’s treatment then everything will get better, grandma can recover and be healthy and can enjoy her life again, but, ems, grandma, it turns out that she really misses Mei’er, so her condition is even worse than the last time when Mei’er left her”

XuYan stood up too, stopped behind LiMei.

“But sister, this is your house, you are supposed to live here, um, let’s put it this way, how about we bring your grandma here and live together, em, this room is quite spacious, you can stay here, Nu’er and Bu’er can move to another room, Father will definitely agree.”

LiMei wiped her tears, she tied up a bundle of cloth containing her clothes that had been prepared for her trip home later.

“Mei’er has said goodbye to master, and Master has given Mei’er pension money, um, Mei’er will leave by early tomorrow morning Sis, please forgive Mei’er, Sister, can’t comply with Sister’s wishes”

XuYan’s eyes widened, she stuttered, and couldn’t hold back LiMei as the girl passed her.

The girl chased her.

“Sister wait!”

The night comes.

Governor Xu’s grand residence was extremely calm, the layered security at the gate and front of the mansion made a thief would think a hundred times before raiding the house of the number one Official in the city, however, a scream was heard.

“Ah! Fire!”

The shrill voice of the maid who saw one of the bungalows at the back of the big house was burning in flames that spread rapidly, immediately all eyes turned to it.

Governor Xu, a stocky man who was having a small meeting with several officials in the living room of his mansion ran out.

“Quickly put out, don’t let the fire spread! Fast!”

And while everyone was busy looking at the burning bungalow, there was a groan from inside the room of one of the maids, LiMei’s room, where she should have come out of the room to see what had happened but someone had caught her, a tall, gigantic figure with a scary grin on his face, who else but GuMo who was already holding LiMei’s small body on the bed.

“Ah, don’t! Help! Help me, don’t!” LiMei’s screams won’t be heard by anyone, everyone was busy paying their attention to the burning bungalow, someone appeared behind the wall, looked around where surround the maid’s bungalow was really quiet, the guards were nowhere to be seen.

“Noo!! Don’t do it, please no!!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The sound of gurgling embers left from the burning prayer paper in XuYan’s body cremation room. The wind blew and carried some of the smoke and ashes that flew to the ceiling, the white flag fluttered slowly, white lanterns lined up on horizontal wooden pegs entered the mourning room in the governor’s large residence.

Back to BaiYing’s room.

The young man just removed his hairpin and let his hair loose just like that gently. Before long someone had sat behind him, grabbed a wooden comb and helped the young man comb his hair, who else but the Crown Prince. They had just returned from the series of mourning events for the Governor’s family, and there were so many facts that BaiYing had just learned that kept him thinking even after they returned to Medicine Valley. And obviously, the look on his face at that time made LuoXiang frown.

“What is YingYing thinking about?”

Heard a deep breath from the young man, he turned his head to look at the Crown Prince, touched his hand until LuoXiang stopped his hand movement.

“What’s more, of course, it’s about LiMei and Miss Xu, both of them are so unfortunate, to have to go through such trouble that they both committed suicide in the same way”

“Why do you think that Miss Xu is also poor? She left his little sister with no other choice but to commit suicide, especially since she heard that her grandmother had died, and according to the Young Master’s Xu story that he heard from LoMa, LiMei suspects that her grandmother’s death has something to do with Miss Xu.”

BaiYing nodded, turning his head back at his positions, letting LuoXiang comb his hair slowly and carefully.

“That’s right, but, the situations had made Miss Xu think so cruelly if it wasn’t for her urgency and unwillingness to marry GuMo, she definitely wouldn’t have done such a reckless thing, moreover, previously her relationship with LiMei was said to be quite good, the two of them looked to love each other so much”

“LiMei didn’t hesitate to sacrifice her face and get herself burned to save her sister, Miss Xu should have thought of that too, her sister just clapped her hands with the wind, Miss Xu just took advantage of her.”

BaiYing turned back to the Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty thinks so? So, was it just pretend? That very harmonious among sisters relationship?”

LuoXing brushed BaiYing’s hair which was so long that it hung down on the surface of the bed.

“Well, it could be that, at first, Ms. Xu really loved her sister. A young lady like that had never experienced bitterness in life, she had everything she could think of immediately, without having to put in any effort, and one day a little girl appeared, who’s really admired her, and considers her important, of course, Miss Xu was happy with all the attention”

“Yeah, until finally, Miss Xu found out she could use her sister to take her place, according to XuYi, he thought that was his Father’s idea, by replacing Miss Xu with LiMei as GuMo’s mistress, however, it turned out to be Ms. Xu’s herself.”

“It’s not strange anymore Ying, thinking that LiMei is nothing more than a cute little sister who goes along with her words, of course, she was very happy, until, one day LiMei refused her request.”

Baiying puffed his mouth, he nodded.

“That can happen, LiMei’s bad luck, she must be very devastated and don’t know what to do, and Ms. Xu was also heartless when she let GuMo rape her sister, in front of her own eyes”

Crown Prince hugged BaiYing from behind, kissing him. The sweet smell of BaiYing’s hair touched his cheek as he rested his head on the young man’s shoulder.

“Miss Xu has planned everything carefully, it’s possible that she set fire to her own bungalow to distract the guards when GuMo entered her sister’s room”

“But Your Majesty, what made that big giant willing to cooperate with Ms. Xu? Did Miss Xu make him an offer he couldn’t refuse? And then why did GuMo say that it was Governor Xu who tricked him by exchanging his daughter for a servant?”

“Em, that lady Xu looks smart, she must have an offer that is hard for that person to refuse, but, whatever it is, it’s all over Ying, we don’t have to think about it too much, it’s not our problem either, erm, how about we sleep by cuddling each other tonight? It’s quite cold you know.”

BaiYing smiled, the Crown Prince’s face smiled mischievously.

“Your Highness, how can we sleep when we cuddle each other?”

Crown Prince kissed BaiYing’s cheek, squeezing him in his arms,

“Emm, regardless of the position with YingYing it won’t be any problem at all”

“Yes Your Majesty, but Servant who have the problem”

The boy protested with a cute face, making the Crown Prince even more furious with him.

“Oh, this child”
