Back at manor, Xiao Jun rested for at least a good month under Yun Long"s orders."Long"er, I"m alright now." Xiao Jun laughed as Yun Long picked her up, carrying her to the main room.
When Yun Long set her down on a chair, he placed a kiss on her lips, making the servants around them turn as they smiled.
She smiled and pushed him away gently, "You, there are servants around. Can"t you do this when we have more privacy?"
"What"s wrong? You"re not going to be shameless anymore?" Yun Long asked, Xiao Jun clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes.
"Madam, someone from the Hua family has asked for an audience." a young servant reported.
Hua family?
Straightening, Yun Long sat down and then said, "Escort them in." The servant bowed and then moved to the side, a male figure walked in with a young girl, it obviously being Zhi Ruo. The male figure was her older brother, Hua Yang, whom had spoiled her rotten. "Greetings to General Huo, today, I"ve come to apologize for all that my little sister has done and I"ve also come to request for General Huo to take pity on my sister and take her in to be your concubine."
[A: shameless siblings!]
"That is not for me to decide, you must ask my wife about matters regarding the harem." Yun Long said, glancing over at Xiao Jun before lazily looking over the two siblings. Xiao Jun then let out a small laugh as she covered her lower face with a handkerchief, "I can indeed forget about what your sister has done but whether or not she becomes a concubine is whether or not my husband wants her or not. I cannot force him to take a concubine, can I? I would be called overbearing but if I do not accept her, I would be called jealous and dominating."
Hua Yang"s face turned sour and he then bowed lower, "Please, General Huo, take my sister in as your concubine, she won"t marry anyone else."
[A: Dude! She"s like 12! Why would our ML want a 12 year old?!]
Chuckling, Yun Long glared at the two, "Why would I want a child for a concubine? Do you think I like such things?! Leave!"
Zhi Ruo frowned and then she put on a pitiful appearance, her eyes filled with tears as she crawled over to Xiao Jun, "Madam Feng! Please accept me, I will surely listen to you well and I won"t get in your way."
Smiling, Xiao Jun looked at her and then said, "Can you listen well? You can"t even listen to what my husband just said, he said he doesn"t want a child as his concubine. It"s best if you just leave and find yourself a suitable husband."
Zhi Ruo then didn"t hesitate to take her hair pin and tried to stab Xiao Jun"s stomach but was grabbed by a hand holding a handkerchief. Looking up, it was Xiao Jun who had grabbed her hand and her face contorted in pain when she felt her wrist being twisted. She was then slapped hard in the face by Xiao Jun. "You! You slapped me? I"m a child!"
"Shut your mouth! If you know you"re a child, why must you try and throw yourself to a man who is older then you? Is it all that great to become a concubine of the man you like? One day, he could love you and then he could just throw you to the side like an old toy." Xiao Jun glared at her sternly, throwing her back and letting the young girl fall onto the floor.
Zhi Ruo then retorted by saying, "So what if you"re the main wife! You can also be discarded!"
Xiao Jun scoffed, "You don"t think I know that? I know that very well Hua Zhi Ruo, but my husband is not like those men you talk about who chase after women to just throw them away. If he was like that, he would"ve thrown me away with a wave of his hand long ago. Do not waste your time on people who do not even spare a glance at you. Invest your time in those who truly take a good look at you." Hearing these words from Xiao Jun, Zhi Ruo"s face contorted into a difficult look and then she got up before kneeling in front of the two.
"Madam Feng, General Huo. I, Hua Zhi Ruo, apologize for putting you in such difficult positions. I will take Madam Feng"s words and put them to use. If you would excuse us, we will leave."
Hua Yang looked at his little sister in surprise, not having time to process the situation before he was pulled out by a servant and his sister.
Ma.s.saging her forehead, Xiao Jun sighed as she rubbed her stomach protectively. "The troubles just never seem to end, do they?" She glanced over at Yun Long and then picked up her cup of tea, taking in the light fragrance before raising it to her lips.
"If you"d like, how about we go visit your parents in the Suo Kingdom? It"s been quite a while since you"ve seen them. We could even wear your Suo Kingdom"s clothing." Yun Long suggested, he got up and stood behind her, ma.s.saging her shoulders. The first time he had seen her in the Suo clothing, he thought he was seeing things. She was beautiful and it was all he could see. He loved the raw beauty she had, her bare face with no powder and her plump cherry lips with just a dab of rogue. He loved how when she smiled, the small dimples on her cheeks would show and his cold appearance would melt away.
[A: you are so head over heels for her.]
"Could we?" she asked, looking up at him, an expecting glint in her eyes as he nodded, causing her to smile again and his heart just stopped.
This woman was his wife. His one and only Feng Xiao Jun.
A few days later, Yun Long indeed kept his promise and was granted a leave by the Emperor to go and visit the Suo Kingdom.
In his study, Yun Long frowned when he saw Ying enter his study, he had made it known that he didn"t like anyone in his study. His frown turned into shock when he saw a figure walk in with a fur cape draped around them while the person"s hair had been braided in the Suo style and they wore the crown of a Suo princess.
"Jun"er... you really did wear it..You look amazing." he walked forward and then touched her hair lightly.
"I did, now, you must change into the Suo attire as well." Xiao Jun smiled, she sent out the other servants and by herself, helped Yun Long change and even did his hair for him.
