Chapter 79

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Yu Linglong did not expect that after being bored to death for several days, such a good thing would appear out of the blue .

With the approval of her mistress, Mama Cui naturally worked harder and promised Yu Linglong great things, just to make the Fourth Lady agree to pick up the old lady .

So Yu Linglong unceremoniously chose a full price, three thousand taels of silver, as if she were going to travel for a few days .

Mu Shi quickly agreed to Yu Linglong’s conditions . She had probably seen right through her . She worked so hard to guard this family business for General Yu, and in the end, she just got a whipping in exchange for it . It was better to spend money to buy comfort .

So one pays the money and the other accepts it, and everyone is happy .

For some reason, Lord Xu hadn’t visited the Yu house to harass her these past few days . Yu Linglong finally had quiet for the time being, but the two girls, Xuan Cao and Ling’er, were hiding to the side and muttering about the non-events . Yu Linglong didn’t need to think to know what those two were talking about .

Love is…whatever!

After Yu Linglong learned that she was going to pick up Lady Yu, she suddenly remembered the horse that she had snatched from Lord Xu . The way up the mountain should not be easy . She was not in the mood to sit in the wobbling sedan chair .

So, when the day came to pick up the old lady, Yu Linglong ordered Xuan Cao to stay home in Pinlan Garden and set off with Ling’er and a few maids .

She let Ling’er sit in the carriage that was prepared for Lady Yu, while Yu Linglong herself rode Zhuiyue, enjoying the scenery all the way, and went up the mountain in a good mood .

The place where Lady Yu was devoting herself was an inconspicuous temple outside the western suburbs of the capital . Starting from the city, it would take a long time to get there . Although Yu Linglong got up early, she arrived at mid-afternoon .

A mother who had come to send things to Lady Yu happily said to Yu Linglong: “Fourth Lady, this mountain is named Cuihua Mountain . It is said that the old ancestor Xihe became immortal here . Look over there, Fourth Lady . It is said that sometimes people can see magic breath lingering; it is really a treasure of Feng Shui . ”

Yu Linglong looked up and saw that the mountain was not very high . It was full of lush woods, and she felt relaxed and happy . If it was really a place for ancestors to cultivate immortality, it would be a bit interesting .

The road to the mountain was gentle, and Yu Linglong was not in a hurry . She walked slowly holding Zhuiyue’s reins . After Zhuiyue was in the manger in the backyard of the Yu Mansion for a long time, he suddenly saw the green mountains and green waters and was refreshed . He deliberately ran a few steps and drew a distance between the carriage that Ling’er and other maids were riding in, obviously disdaining to keep pace with the horses pulling the carriage .

It seems that people are like horses, and sometimes they need a little time alone .

Turning around a valley, Yu Linglong suddenly felt that something was wrong with her surroundings . The vigilance she had cultivated over the years had penetrated her bones and became an instinct for her . At this moment, there was a mountain breeze around her and the green grass was blowing in the breeze . She sensitively felt that there was someone nearby .

“Who’s there!?” With a sharp flick of her fluttering hair, Yu Linglong turned her head and looked back at the woods on the side of the road .

There was a soft sound, but she couldn’t tell if it was near or far . She didn’t know if it was the rustling of the leaves being blown by the mountain wind or the sound of animals being frightened off .

Yu Linglong squinted slightly, and in the leaf-covered jungle, there was a faintly visible figure that seemed to be vigorous, but she didn’t say a word, and they obviously didn’t intend to show themselves .

After a short pause, Yu Linglong gently kicked Zhuiyue, and he intuitively trotted along quietly, and they hurriedly left .

Maybe someone was doing shameful deeds here and she accidentally ran into them .

She understood the rules of the road: if others don’t offend me, I won’t offend them . Since the other party did not intend to make it difficult for her, she had better not be nosy .

In the small woods in the valley, it was quiet and there was no sound anymore .

Ling’er and several maids were talking and laughing behind her, and they didn’t notice the strangeness around her .

As they gradually got away from the woods, Yu Linglong’s guards gradually relaxed . She had lived in remote areas for many years, even if she had changed her status now, she still couldn’t get rid of the sharpness in her bones and enjoy the ordinary life of ordinary people .

With a slight sigh, Yu Linglong tightened the reins in her hand and ran toward the mountain .

…

When Yu Linglong and her entourage stopped at the temple where Mrs . Yu lived, the sky already showed that it was late . The vibrant woods in the day turned dark green in the hazy dusk and cast heavy shadows . Even if set against them, the most splendid sunset could not stop a lonely and mysterious atmosphere .

The nunnery was located in the deep mountains . Although it was midsummer now, the coolness of the evening faintly approached . Yu Linglong was a little upset and irritable all the way . At this moment, in the cool evening breeze, she finally felt a little comfortable .

Yu Linglong flipped over and got off the horse, then handed Zhuiyue’s reins to Ling’er, and walked straight in .

The mother behind her hurriedly said, “Fourth Lady, do you want me to go in and report you?”

Yu Linglong frowned slightly . This ancient rule was really troublesome, and the old lady had to report her in advance .

“Go ahead . ”

Yu Linglong turned her face sideways and looked at the sky over the mountain . The sun had just set, leaving only a glow in the sky that turned from deep purple to bright red . It was a rare and beautiful scene in the capital .

On her side, Ling’er pulled Zhuiyue . Zhuiyue held his head high, sniffing the green fruits on the trees by the mountain road with interest, obviously very hungry .

Ling’er patted Zhuiyue’s neck: “Greedy kitten, the fruit is sour and not tasty . ”

Yu Linglong couldn’t help but smile . This girl was still a child, and she was talking to the horse very seriously .

After watching the scenery for a while, Yu Linglong was a little annoyed with waiting . Why didn’t the woman who went in to report come out yet? Even if the old lady was sleeping, she couldn’t just leave them waiting outside .

Yu Linglong didn’t have the patience to wait any longer, so she turned around and walked in .

Regardless of what his old lady would think, she had been waiting for such a long time, and she had given the old lady face .

The gate was ajar, and it was quiet inside . There seemed to be no one inside .

As soon as Yu Linglong pushed the door, she felt something was wrong . Before she could think about it, a gust of wind came from behind her ears!

Someone attacked!

The body reacts faster than the brain, and almost instinctively, Yu Linglong twisted her waist, turned her body dexterously in the air, and shot quickly without even looking . One move would definitely kill .

White fingers streaked through the dim evening light, stabbing the attacker behind her harshly . The person reacted quickly, slipped from their feet, and leaned their head back, abruptly avoiding Yu Linglong’s vicious strike .

Yu Linglong seized the opportunity, and could not allow the opponent to have a moment to breathe . She missed a hit and turned around immediately, pinching the opponent’s bare neck .
