Qi Xiuying - Another Transmigrate's Story 60 Chapter 56

"Young miss shouldn't have abandoned me earlier, thankfully Manager Ba came to help this servant." Xue was crying inwardly as she spoke. After her miss taught her how to check the accounting books and other tasks in managing Ying Yue, Xiuying started to just disappear every now and then with Xiao Hua leaving her to finish her young miss' work.

"Xue'er that is why I taught you all these stuff, soon I will only visit Ying Yue every month leaving you to do the weekly visit and just report to me when you get home."

"Young miss..." Xue is glad that her young miss trusts her so much, teaching and training her along with Manager Ba to improve Ying Yue as the days pa.s.sed by. She knows what her young miss is thinking but she is still hesitating in taking over managing Ying Yue, she was only ten years old and a slave bought by Qi Chen when the young miss was five years old and plans to wholeheartedly serve her master till her old age.

"Xue'er, you and Xiao Hua are my trusted aide and please stop viewing yourselves as slaves you two are my close friends so training you to improve yourselves will also help me in a way or two. And I expect that once you have someone you think you want to share your life with you won't hesitate to tell me." Xiuying frankly said, although she can't make a way to remove the slavery system in this era she could at least have the servants close to her to have a good life.

"Thank you young miss..." Xue started tearing up as she adoringly look at her young miss. "Rest a.s.sured that I will do my best to accomplish the tasks you are giving me."

"Good that way I have lots of time to roam around..." Xiuying grins at Xue making the servant shocked knowing the second purpose of training her. Xiao Hua started laughing at Xue's reaction and Xiuying's mischief after a while Xue laugh along while Xiuying's eyes shows fondness. She plans to have Xue to take over managing Ying Yue so she can start planning for her next business and for the servant to have experience in handling things. Once Xiao Hua is of the right age Xue can train Xiao Hua in managing Ying Yue then she'll have Xue as her personal a.s.sistant.

In South army barracks, Xianyao is holding the letter that Xiuying sent. It has been few months now that he was far away from the capital and every day he was busy suppressing the rebels. His longing for her just increases every day that he is away, surprising himself by how deep his feelings are for the lady. The day that he saw her in a coma, he was mesmerized by her looks but it wasn't enough for him to love her this deeply. The next time he saw her was when she was acting pitiful with her maidservants while asking to let her help them arranging her new courtyard, he thought that time that she is kinda cute and as a person who treats her servants well she should be someone who is kind and lovable. Each encounter including the ones he decided to secretly observe Xiuying without Qi Ming knowing, his fondness of her and curiosity of what she is always thinking increases.

One night he decided to visit her courtyard as he randomly does, his heart was taken from the sight he saw. She was alone, aimlessly walking towards her pavilion where she left her harp. In his eyes Xiuying's eyes that time was s.h.i.+ning reflecting the stars as she stares as them, sighing she started to pluck the strings and a melodious voice rang in the place.

She never slows down.

She doesn't know why but

she knows that when she's all alone,

feels like its all coming down

She won't turn around

The shadows are long and

she fears if she cries that first tear,

the tears will not stop raining down

So stand in the rain

Stand your ground

Stand up when it's all cras.h.i.+ng down

Her voice was full of hope which made him puzzled as he thought she already moved on from having her fiance s.n.a.t.c.hed by Qi Fan but it seems she is just starting to forget. Xianyao didn't know that Xiuying was transmigrated in his world and although she shows she is fine, she still feels she doesn't have anyone beside her as her soul wasn't the original owner of Xiuying's body and just starting to have a resolved to live her life as she wants or at least in the best way she can in the era where there still restrictions for women.

Xianyao just watched her whole night after she finished the song she runs back inside and walks out again this time holding a brush, a container with ink and few pieces of paper. She switches in between plucking the harp and writing few sentences or drawing symbols on a four lines (Xianyao is from ancient time and he doesn't know what music stuff and notes are). He didn't know how long they stayed awake, after seeing that Xiuying fell asleep while holding the brush he gently carry her inside her bedchamber and wrap her in blankets. Unknowingly his lips tilted up noticing the few strikes of ink on her beautiful face as he quietly observes, he carefully remove the ink with the edge of his sleeve before leaving.
