C10 Reunion(10)

Lee Mingde knew that he was safe now. After explaining everything to Zhao Qi, he could no longer control himself and fell into a coma. His vision became blurrier and blurrier, and everything around him became further and further away from him. Only Hua Xiangrong's voice became clearer and clearer, and the young girl's voice carried a sobbing tone, "Lee Mingde, Lee Mingde, wake up, you liar..."

But he was so tired from the journey, and so frightened, and so badly wounded.

He just wanted to rest.

The night passed peacefully.

It was dawn.

When Hua Xiangrong returned to the residence, Honeysuckle, Zhiqiu and the others were already pacing around anxiously. When they saw Hua Xiangrong climbing over the wall, everyone heaved a long sigh of relief. Honeysuckle rushed forward and pulled Hua Xiangrong to look left and right. After confirming that she was not injured, she asked, "Miss, where did you go? It's killing us."

Ruo Le pushed through the layers of people and walked in front of Hua Xiangrong, "Miss, Master said he wants to see you. Hurry up and go."

She was exhausted from the night's work, but she didn't want her father to worry, so she could only follow Ruo Le. As she walked, she instructed, "Wait, Zhiqiu, honeysuckle, prepare food for me. I want to eat something delicious when I come back, and then let the kitchen boil water. I want to bathe, I want..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhiqiu urged Hua Xiangrong to leave, nodding her head in agreement, "Miss, don't worry. I will definitely prepare it for you."

Honeysuckle also echoed from the side, "That's right, that's right. I will go and make Young Miss's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs later. When Young Miss comes back, you can eat it all by yourself, alright?"

Only then did Hua Xiangrong follow Ruo Le with satisfaction. They walked all the way west, and after passing through a row of walls, the originally stone path was changed to be paved with wooden planks. Because Mrs. Hua liked wooden planks, General Hua had specially built this for her. There were railings on both sides of the path, and it was hollow under the boards. When they walked on it, it made "zhi zhi" sounds, as if her mother was whispering in her ear, and she had never left.

However, Mrs. Hua had left early in the morning. General Hua had always been worried about Mrs. Hua and was single-mindedly devoted to her. He was also afraid that it would not be good for Hua Xiangrong if the new wife entered the house. All these years, he had always been alone, and had never taken another wife or concubine. Hua Xiangrong was the legitimate daughter of the Hua family, and also the only daughter of the Hua family.

At the end of the path was General Hua's courtyard.

Hua Xiangrong saw her father's anxious figure from afar. She ran to his side and knelt down, "It's all my fault for being unfilial and making father worry."

General Hua did not say anything else. She looked at her indifferently, then turned around and returned to her room. Ruo Le respectfully retreated, Hua Xiangrong stood up and followed General Hua into the room.

Closing the door behind her, Hua Xiangrong knelt in front of General Hua once again, "Father."

General Hua helped her up and sat her down at the table. She said worriedly, "Good child, it's good that you're back. You haven't come back all night, and I'm very worried about you. From time to time, people from the palace would come to ask me about your situation. I knew that it was not good, so I shirked the people from the palace and secretly sent people to look for you. But in the end, they only found Zhuchun's corpse. Rong, what happened?"

Zhuchun died in the end.

Hua Xiangrong did not hide anything and kept her story short. She skipped those dangerous moments to prevent her father from worrying.
