Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

27 Retrace The Pas

Jun Hua nodded. That Chun Maora gave him a son, the status of Chun Maora must have been raised. Her mother only gave birth to a daughter and knowing Chun Maora, she must have pleaded to have her son raised by her. Lin Tang also didn't want his first son to be a concubine born, thus he agreed with that request.

"Chun Maora's brother must have loved his sister so much to endure the beating. If I'm not wrong, Chun family is only a small family, right?" Jun Hua's smile turned colder. It caused the temperature in the room to drop heavily and caused a chill to rise up on the body of the three girls in front of her. Cold sweats started to pour out of their body.

"Miss…" Xia stammered.

Jun Hua realized her mistake and she restrained herself. But that short time made the three girls completely afraid. They weren't able restore their calm so quickly.

"I'm sorry about that. Sometimes I follow my brother from behind to the battlefield, so there was some influence I got from him," Jun Hua was making an excuse. Xia rolled her eyes in secret, that's a completely blatant lie! That kind of chill could only be produced by people who have gone through many battles!

Madam Xie looked at Jun Hua stupefied. She never knew that a girl could possibly release such a chilling aura and make her feel like she was meeting a death reaper.

"It's alright Miss. Chun Maora is not alone, one of their family members married into Lan family so they have good support."

"Lan family?" Jun Hua only remembered that Lan Ping who's so arrogant but cannot gain good result. Come to think about it, he has only managed to finish the task a few days before so he hadn't returned to the capital yet.

Then, Jun Hua remembered that the tone Lin San used to talk to her was indeed similar with Lan Ping. So, they were indeed related.

"Miss, you have to be careful. Getting inside this family will make you suffer a lot," Madam Xie was deeply concerned. She had heard about Jun Hua's personality. At first, she was glad that she stayed with the Jun family. However, now that she returned, she was starting to worry.

"Don't worry about me. I want to take a stroll on the garden first. Maybe there's something that I could remember from there."

Xia held out a cloak to Jun Hua. "It's getting dark soon and at night, the wind is cold."

Jun Hua acknowledged it. She wouldn't get cold easily, but it was better to keep her behavior normal to avoid any suspicions.

Xia and the two other girls followed after Jun Hua as she strolled around. Jun Hua's step faltered near a beautiful fountain. The fountain was still in good condition but there were a lot of weeds growing around it, which showed that this place hadn't been used for years and they didn't really pay attention to this place until recently.

Her small finger lightly touched the side of the fountain. Sounds of crying resurfaced in her mind. Jun Hua started remembering again. This was the place where her mother came to her before they were forced to get out from the Lin family residence.

"Mother…" Jun Hua missed her mother deeply. Unbeknownst to her, her eyes turned red.

The little girl by Madam Xie side looked at Jun Hua with curiosity. She took out her handkerchief and handed it to Jun Hua.

"Big sister, don't cry."

Jun Hua was startled and she touched her cheek. Indeed, there were tears coming out without her knowing. She took the handkerchief and smiled.

"Thank you, what is your name little girl?"

"My name is Lin Yun," the little girl grinned.

Jun Hua stared at Madam Xie. "By the usual law, when servants change their master, the new master will bestow a new name. Are you fine with that?"

Madam Xie nodded. "You can name her as you wish."

"Then from today on, your name is Xiao Yun, alright?" Jun Hua handed the handkerchief back.

"Xiao Yun understands!"

Jun Hua walked back to her room with the three girls following. "Madam Xie, there will be a batch of servants delivered here tomorrow morning. Since I'm still studying at school, you will be in charged to take them around."

"Yes Miss."

After instructing Madam Xie about what she should and not do, Jun Hua dismissed both of them. Inside the room, only Xia and Jun Hua stayed.

"Is there anything you need, Miss?"

Jun Hua leaned back. "Xia, I want you to memorize this place quickly. We are going to stay here for some time."

Xia nodded. "For how long exactly Miss?"

"I'm not sure. If we're lucky, it's going to be 1 year."

One year? Xia almost blanked out when she heard Jun Hua's words. How could that possibly be lucky? In one year, Jun Hua would turn 15 years old, and it was the age where a girl was supposed to get married. Did she want her marriage partner be decided by Chun Maora?

Seeing the expression on Xia's face, Jun Hua knew that the girl thought had gone awry. But she didn't do anything to correct her. It was just her estimation, but she herself didn't know how much time she would stay here. Anyway, while she was staying in this place, it would be better for her to learn about womanly matters as soon as possible so she would not appear to be a disgrace.

"Xia, you will be in charge of all the servant girls here."

Xia faces lit up. She had been serving by Jun Hua's side for years and vowed to always stay with her. Jun Hua's words were like telling her that she was the one that Jun Hua trusted the most among the girls' servants. This kind of thing truly made her ecstatic.

Jun Hua dismissed Xia after a few more words. Since this place was different from hers, she could not go around as she wished. After thinking for a while, Jun Hua soon fell asleep.
