Imperial Treasure-Chapter 999 - 598: Floating Corpse on the Water

Yi paused for a moment and said, "You are familiar with Mount Hua, please let them know I’m taking this book."

After nodding slightly to Gu Sansi, she left with the book in hand.

Gu Sansi was a bit stunned, then he chuckled.

"Well raised indeed."

In the past, Yi wouldn’t have cared about others’ opinions, she’d take things as she pleased, let alone a book.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Sui Yi is probably that kind of person.

Some people died, some disappeared, some were severely injured and ambushed, some were heartbroken, some got what they wanted, and some had things snatched away—this was likely the conclusion of the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference.

And Sui Yi... where is she now?

About ten days later.

Gong Jiu and others each received a parcel.

In the sender information column, the name filled in was "Gu."

The packages contained several boxes emitting an ancient fragrance.

Upon opening.

Martial Arts Golden Scrolls.

When Gong Jiu and the others received the Martial Arts Golden Scrolls most suited to them.

In a house in the Capital City.

Chen Yuniang handed a plain wooden box to a lady.

The lady had a graceful figure, and when she turned her face, it revealed a charming yet delicate face.

"Thank you, aunty."

"There’s no need to thank me.. Little Sang.. You’ve got your mother’s relic, are you truly not leaving with aunty?"

"I... fear I cannot leave him" Yun Yisang’s tone staggered, slightly odd, but most would assume she was simply attached to that person. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Chen Yuniang thought the same, and she hesitated, "Little Sang, I know Mr. Bai saved your life, and he helped us succeed this time by helping us kill those Mount Hua villains, but after all, he has... "

A fiancée.

And such a wife.

Should their Yun Family’s young miss live as the second wife outside?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuniang’s heart ached like a knife; that noble, joyful, lively young girl back then, what had she gone through to become trapped like this.

She was supposed to live happily forever, pampered by the elders of the Yun Family Fort...

"But he treats me well" Yun Yisang gently hugged Chen Yuniang, her fingers softly combing through her hair bun.

"Aunty, you should go, find a better man, don’t bother with the Yun Family matters anymore, live a peaceful life, I’ll visit you with time.. I’m okay."

Chen Yuniang could only leave.

As for remarriage? How could she?

Day and night, her open or closed eyes only saw the youthful boy who ran with her over the mountain tops, picking rhododendrons and placing them by her ear, saying, Ayu, you look so beautiful.

So beautiful...

Chen Yuniang, as she left, instinctively touched her ears, finding only coarse gray hair.

She, had grown old.

Yun-lang, would you still wait for this old woman?

After Chen Yuniang left, Yun Yisang slightly turned her head, noticing a shadow fading at the corner of a side door.

Aunty, just a little more, and we both would have perished.

————————————

Beneath the bright white sun, encompassing Qian and Kun, willow trees swayed gently, stone bridges aged, tourists came and went, and lotus flowers bloomed charmingly in clusters, the breeze carried fragrance, intoxicating all with its aroma.

"These flowers are truly beautiful~~"

"Not as beautiful as you, my wife, huh, what’s that?"

"What what? Husband, what are you looking at, hey! Amidst the lotus cluster, is it... "

The Mountain Green and Water Color all reside in one lake, the most beautiful vista therein is the lotus.

Lady Sang and He Cailian, lotus leaves scattered like fields.

This was once a poet’s idle words, but many folks found it catchy and somewhat thought-provoking, so they spread it mouth to mouth, causing the lake’s lotus flowers to become famous.

This June, in the height of summer, there were many wandering the lakeside, admiring the endless splendid lotus blossoms, only now, many saw in the center of the lotus cluster—in the middle of the lake—a splash rising, seemingly something floating.

The strangest was the constant splashing, water turning white, appearing as if something emerged from beneath.

"What is it?"

"It seems like... "

The tourists shouted curiously, and not far away, people aboard painting boats were also intrigued, especially the largest one with a splendid young man standing at the bow, hands behind his back, looking headlong at the lotus cluster some four to five hundred meters ahead, he then lowered his head to speak to his attendant, who in turn called out to the lotus-picking and fishing people.

"Guest, go and see what’s there, this one tael is yours" the attendant wore quality clothing, clearly his master was of wealth, a tael given without hesitance, and with a flick, he tossed the tael over.
