Chapter 17 Weird Taste
In the courtyard.
Su Miaotong was half-hiding behind the partition, her eyes wide open, gossiping: "Sister, Madam Xia seems to have not come out since she entered the Immortal Master's room last night?"
Su Miaoyan rolled her eyes at her sister and said unhappily, "How can you make irresponsible remarks about the master's affairs?"
Although she said that, the corner of Su Miaoyan's eyes kept moving towards the door involuntarily, and then she moved away in panic. Her delicate and white ears gradually turned a little red.
Last night, her sister stood guard at the young lady's door to ensure her sleep, while she practiced in this courtyard, waiting for Master Xiao's instructions.
But who would have thought that I would run into Mrs. Xia knocking on the door at night, and then I would listen to... singing all night long.
It’s hard to put it into words.
Even though the maids in the palace had taught her before, she had never heard of such a vigorous and loud singing voice. It almost disturbed her mind and caused her to go astray in her practice.
When they thought about the day when the two sisters would have to serve the immortal master, they felt indescribable anxiety in their hearts.
I don’t know if I can handle it!
"Sister! Sister?"
Seeing her sister in a daze, Su Miaotong raised her slender hand and waved it in front of her eyes. It took a long time before she called her back.
"What...what?"
Su Miaoyan's face flushed when she realized that she was daydreaming. She felt guilty and secretly scolded herself for being shameless.
Su Miaotong chattered on and on like a curious baby: "But I heard that Madam Xia was the wife of the former master of the Dan Palace. Now that the master has just passed away and the seventh day has not even passed, she has already climbed into another man's bed. Isn't Madam Xia too unfaithful to her husband?"
"Shut up!" Su Miaoyan looked around in shock, and after making sure that there was no movement, she said angrily, "I told you before that since you have become a disciple of the Immortal Master, you should keep your mouth shut. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, it will only bring disaster to you and my sister."
Su Miaotong shrank her neck in fear, her eyes slightly reddened, and she pouted her lips and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Why are you so mean to me?"
Su Miaoyan also knew that her sister was ignorant of worldly affairs, and was afraid that her harsh tone would backfire, so she held her temper and said in a slightly slower tone: "The land of the immortals is not like our own palace. There are some things that you have to keep to yourself even if you know them. Master Xiao and I just met by chance, and it is already generous of him to protect us. You and I must not let go of our desire to gossip and cause trouble for the immortal master."
"The Immortal Master is such a great man, his every move is unfathomable, it is not something you and I can judge rashly."
"I understand." Su Miaotong nodded, not quite understanding.
Then he seemed to think of something and said as if to make amends, "However, Madam Xia treats people well. She is different from those wives and concubines in Elder Liu's sect who boss people around. I think my sister and I will not be bullied again in the future."
Su Miaoyan remained silent.
As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Since she is also living under someone else's roof, she can only do her best. As for how others treat her, that is all up to fate.
Buzz!
At this time, the sensing spider silk in Su Miaotong's hand made a sound. She left the place in a hurry after leaving a message: "I'm afraid the young lady has woken up. Sister, I'm leaving first."
Seeing her sister's startled look, Su Miaoyan was both angry and amused. After leaving the palace, her sister was the only person closest to her. Her purity of mind was rare in the world, but she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to come to this immortal sect...
“Crunch!”
After a while, the door that had been closed for a long time was finally opened.
A graceful figure walked out, but her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes flashed with a hint of panic.
She looked around until she passed the partition in the middle of the courtyard and stopped looking. She saw Su Miaoyan.
It was as if Su Miaoyan also saw her.
"lady."
Su Miaoyan bowed respectfully, without any unnecessary expression on her face.
But compared to Su Miaoyan's calmness, Xia Zhixuan's breathing was somewhat disordered, and her heart was in a mess.
She subconsciously tightened her collar, trying her best to cover up something, but the dense red marks on her jade neck seemed a little pale and made the matter even more obvious.
Xia Zhixuan looked away embarrassedly and asked, "Sister, are you up so early?"
Su Miaoyan bowed and said, "Since I have to serve the Madam and the Master, I dare not slack off in the slightest. I have been waiting here since last night, awaiting your orders."
Su Miaoyan abided by her duties strictly. Even though the other party addressed her as a sister, she never overstepped the mark. Before she was given the status by Xiao Jingsheng, she insisted on considering herself a slave.
"You mean since last night..."
Xia Zhixuan was startled and covered her red lips with her jade hands. The dense redness instantly spread from her jade neck to her entire face.
Then what happened between me and Xiao Lang... wouldn't the other party have heard it all?
Xia Zhixuan couldn't help but feel so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head.
I don't know how others will view me in the future...
It is understandable that a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in.
But no one wants to be caught in this kind of situation.
What's more, Xia Zhixuan was just an ordinary woman, and she could hardly control her shame.
"Woo woo woo~ Mother, where are you?"
Just at this moment, the cry of a child was heard from a distance, attracting the attention of the two.
Xia Zhixuan's heart tightened. The moment she heard the voice, she knew it was her little daughter.
She had no time to care about her own emotions and quickly walked in the direction where the sound came from.
But just as she crossed the arched partition, she happened to meet Su Miaotong who came with little Caiwei in her arms: "Madam, don't worry, I have always been guarding you. It's just that you just woke up and missed you."
Xia Zhixuan was also relieved to see her daughter. She thanked her and held the child over to her: "Thank you, sister."
Little Caiwei was usually well-behaved, but she had never slept separately from her mother. She was scared when she woke up in the morning and couldn't see her mother. Now she was back in her mother's arms and smelled the familiar fragrance on her body, and she stopped crying immediately.
"Mother lied. She clearly told me not to disturb Daddy, but she secretly came to see him alone."
Little Caiwei arched her back in her mother's arms, leaning against the unfathomable ravine, and raised her head coquettishly.
Xia Zhixuan felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and she didn't know how to explain it for a moment. She regretted that she shouldn't have done that ridiculous thing just now. She should have rushed back when she woke up in the morning.
Fortunately, Su Miaoyan was kind-hearted and came to his rescue, saying, "My lady, Madam knows that you miss the master, so she came to wake him up to go see you together."
"Really?" Little Caiwei opened her big watery eyes wide, seeking Xia Zhixuan's response.
Xia Zhixuan looked at Su Miaoyan gratefully and responded in a low voice: "Well...next time, mother will definitely greet you in advance."
"I know that my mother treats me best!"
Xiao Caiwei believed it immediately and smiled happily.
But suddenly she seemed to realize something, her nose moved, and she pursed her lips and said, "Hey~ What's the taste in mother's mouth? It's weird... Oh~ I know, did mother eat the dragon fish by herself?!"
Xia Zhixuan was stunned and her face turned red.
