Chapter 8 - After a very long time

After Jianyu left. Xiaoyan took a deep breath. It was very hard for her to relax with a man like this flirting and all with her. It was not true that she would blush like that with every handsome man but Jianyu was somehow different. His face was kind of the face that melted her heart and can be called her biggest weakness. And he hated it. Just as she was overthinking about Jianyu in her head. The maids from the time when choosing the cloths came. They bowed and greeted her the way they first met. She was furious at them but at the same time she was flustered. She couldn't scold them or something. And she knew that no matter how much furious or strong the emotion is she was not allowed to show it. It would be considered weakness and emotionally people are the most types of people who can be controlled easily. And plus, she knew that she was one of those kinds of people was others wanted to controlled.

Hence, it was safer to double check on her feeling and even the words she spoke. "We are here to take you to the Jun house in the order of crown prince, young miss" The maids spoke. Well, that means that today, tomorrow and day after tomorrow are the three days that she was free to go and after four day she will be here again. On the command of Jianyu. She got up and was ready to leave with them. The maids nodded among themselves and led her to the way out of the Palace. Once she was out of the palace a carriage was there. She quietly and elegantly sat down at the carriage and went along. After almost three hours. A man with brown hair and green eyes came in and bowed to her as he said "Please come this way." Call it irony or not the man was escorting her in her own house. There was no one at the entrance except the usual servants and maids who welcome everyone who came inside the house Jun. And after that the man led her to the Palace Huang where she met up with Jinxiao and General An.

Both of them were calm and collected at her presence. But at the same time an air of hostility builds between three of them. Of course, both of them didn't like the fact that Xiaoyan ran off without any notice and was found again in the royal court! While General An sighed and sipped his tea. Jinxiao stormed towards Xiaoyan and said "What the heck were you thinking while you left us behind!" Asked Jinxiao. Xiaoyan sighed and said "Well, I sensed some high rated flower in that direction and when I landed there. The crown prince's army was already there and was already ready to capture me. The next morning, I was given a dress to change and was sent to the royal court. After I came there was the time, I realized what was really happening. Yes, it was my fault for going without a notice but at the same time I was a victim too." The calm tone of Xiaoyan made Jinxiao irritated but he calmed himself and said "Well, just… don't run off like that ever again." Xiaoyan nodded. General An didn't say a word. He kept drinking his own tea like Xiaoyan was not there. Xiaoyan was also not that much worried about General An. Of course, the discussion upon her cousin who stabbed her in the market was still there to discuss but that was another topic for another day as for now's situation.

Just when Xiaoyan was about to continue talking to Jinxiao she heard the shouting from the Palace Lin. She walked towards the palace and yet again this time also her father and mother were fighting with each other. Xiaoyan just stud there. Not making a single sound or movement when her mother suddenly notices her and shouted "How dare you leave your poor old woman's invitation to talk and go to crown prince's palace! Do you think that crown prince will love you forever. He will have many wives soon anyways. Then you will remember that you could have just come with your mother!" She shouted loud enough that General An who was sitting in the Palace Huang heard and flinched at the high noise. While her father just said "It is at least a little good that you can catch the eye of the crown prince. But you better keep his favour to survive from now on." "Sweetheart, don't you think that our daughter needs some maintenance she is becoming the crown prince's wife after all!" Said her father's lover. Her father just sighed and said "Right!" As he sat on the nearby chair.

"Get out all of you..."

Xiaoyan out of now where commanded. Her voice was firm and was not afraid at all. "How dare you say that!" Said her father. She just stared at him with bloody eyes and said "Go or I will have to kick you out." She said again. Three of them still took her threat for a joke and didn't respond.

Xiaoyan finally used her cultivation skills to make a rope and tie all of them while dragging them to the entrance. "Are you nuts? How you dare to do that with your guardian?" said her father. Xiaoyan didn't respond for a while and after she brought them to the entrance she said "Didn't you hear what emperor said. You are not my guardian anymore. I'm the head of the house. So better you never step on the house Jun again." After she said this, she turned and came inside the house again. While some servants took them to the forest and threw them there.

Well, let's say they never had a good reputation among the servants. And most of them hated three of them for various reason. After coming inside Xiaoyan wen to her room and sat in her bed while sighing. This was the most proud thing she have ever done in her life. She wanted to do this long ago but couldn't.
