Chapter 10: Going Home

The pilgrims were whispering to each other, while Hua Qiyue and the servants headed towards the capital city. Not far away, the Hua’s Second Miss Hua Mengshi sat in the horse carriage and dropped the curtain coldly.

Four hours after she returned home, the news that she wanted to adopt a foster son spread all over the capital. It made ordinary people excited. They were all eager for that qualification. If a child could be adopted by the Hua’s Family, he would surely have a great future.

What happened in the Hanyue Temple was embellished by the meddlesome female pilgrim, and was widely spread by storytellers. Now Hua Qiyue’s bad reputation had been cleared up by a seventh.

Hua Qiyue told Youshui to get ready and they had a master write a notice about the adoption.

Once Hua Mengshi returned, she informed the old lady that Hua Qiyue had her hairpin stolen in the Hanyue Temple and been vilified for flirting with a monk. She also punished Lanzhu with fifty flogs.

The old lady flew into a rage. She never thought that the daughter of the official wife would be vilified by Hua Mengshi’s servant, Lanzhu.

For her courage to confess her mistake, the old lady forgave her and fined her only two months’ pocket money.

Lvxin didn’t understand why Hua Qiyue didn’t complained about them to the old lady but just return to her small courtyard to prepare for the adoption.

Hua Qiyue smiled and didn’t explain anything. She knew clearly in her heart that the old lady did not like a troublemaker. If she made a complaint first, the old lady would probably feel disgusted.

She asked Lvxin to put on light makeup and dress appropriately, and then they went to meet the old lady.

Lvxin and Youshui were extremely shocked once again. In the past, the young miss was extremely afraid of meeting the old lady. She was always shaking with fear in front of her.

The old lady was also tired of this good-for-nothing young miss, so she asked her not to go to the Fuxin Courtyard.

The Fuxin Courtyard was where the old lady lived. The courtyard was busy today, because the Second Miss Hua Mengshi, the Second Concubine and the Third Concubine were here.

Since the servant of the Second Concubine’s daughter had made a big mistake, the Second Concubine was trying to brownnose the old lady.

After punishing Lanzhu and letting someone drag her away, the people started to chat and laugh again, as if no one remembered what happened to Hua Qiyue.

They should have felt indignant and outraged about it, but not a single person comforted Hua Qiyue.

In their eyes, there was no need to comfort a weak and stupid girl whose Qi channels had already been shattered.

“Grandmother, how bustling your yard is!”

While everyone was happily chatting, a calm voice came from outside the door. The people in the room immediately became quiet and everyone looked towards the door.

Hua Qiyue walked over with Lvxin and Youshui. She was wearing a light pink dress and a light green cloak along with a pair of white plain shoes，looked refreshing and elegant.

With a light makeup on her face, she looked like a crescent moon breaking through the clouds and scattered down a cool and radiant light.

On this sweltering June morning, everyone was amazed by her appearance.

“Hey, big sister, aren’t you tired? You paid a visit to the handsome Master Xuanji in the Rongfu Temple. You should be resting right now. ” sneered Hua Xiaoyi.

She talked with the tongue in the cheek and everyone’s expression changed.

Hua Qiyue walked slowly to the front of the old lady, took a bow and said, “grandmother, I have not been here for a long time. I’m so unfilial. It’s my fault.”

After that, she paid her respects to the Second Concubine and the Third Concubine. Hua Mengshi and Hua Xiaoyi’s faces changed dramatically. Why was Hua Qiyue so obedient and sweet? Why did she change so much overnight?
