A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances

Chapter 27

The side of the ears, the wind was blowing the trees leafs, rustling and caressing of the gentle sound of intermittent running water. The atmosphere was also filled with a slightly damp forest trees smell, surrounded by a faint misty water, it was very comfortable. Spring time’s plants were sprouting soft green everywhere, Zhuo Qing deeply breathed. Here was indeed a very good place, quiet, elegant small wooden cabin, simple and rustic, small independent courtyard was also decorated rather distinguished, built entirely by wood, did not have any brick roof tile, it was her favorite style.

She heard that the back lane of every small courtyard directly led to the hot spring water. Zhuo Qing’s heartbeat quickened, she still had not properly enjoyed the time after arriving at this terrible era. Tearing down the hanging silk curtain on top of the bedside, a piece of long and plain silk white towel was hanging on her neck now. Zhuo Qing laughed and looked at Lou Xi Wu, since she entered the cabin, had not stopped her footsteps, she was walking back and forth.

Was not this only a confession, no need to have this much nervousness, ok?! Zhuo Qing pushed open the door to the rear court, while she was walking, she leisurely laughed and said: "I am going to soak in the hot spring now, wait until I come back. If you have not succeeded with your confession, then it will be my turn lo."

Lou Xi Wu suddenly raised her head, she was staring at Zhuo Qing’s back, practically screamed: "You, do not even think about it!!"

Zhuo Qing turned her body, her defiant eyes swept at Lou Xi Wu’s red face, arrogantly answered: "Then I will just watch you." Sometimes giving an appropriate motivation was more effective than an encouragement.

Enjoying the killing gaze that was hot and could kill on her back, Zhuo Qing softly perked up her lips, her mood was joyful and she was walking down the path.

The blue stone lane was twisting and turning, to the side was surrounded by short and tall flowers and trees. The ray of the setting sun was warm on the ground, the moist water vapor and the smell of flower could be felt. Zhuo Qing’s footsteps were relaxed, she bypassed a few mountain rocks, a hot spring pool appeared in front of her. The hot spring was surrounded by the mountain rocks and bushes, very secluded and private, Zhuo Qing was satisfied.

The pond used rocks to surround all four sides, the pond water was not deep. As if it was a full moon, the moon shaped water pond was divided into two sides. In the middle of the pond, there were small rocks that were used as a divider of the two half moon shaped ponds. Although this was originally a full moon shaped pond, no one would be able to see clearly on the other half side of the pond, very ingenuity. Zhuo Qing took off the thin long skirt, held the white thin silk as a bath towel and wrapped it around her. Using her foot to test the

The steam was warm on the body, a thin mist revolved around the side of the body, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, the soft chanting of the bird, the setting sun resembled fire. Watching the sunset like this was exactly the best plan, everything was perfect.

Zhuo Qing sighed of relief comfortably, closed her eyes slowly…. "En, really comfortable." A lazy and deep male voice suddenly echoed nearby, it seemed to be very near to the ears.

"Who is that?!" Zhuo Qing swiftly opened her eyes, swept all around panicky.

The gurgling sound of the spring water, ash gray trees, except for her, there was nobody around ah?!

Zhuo Qing frowned, could it be that she was too fatigue so the hallucination appeared?!

Just when Zhuo Qing was puzzling for a length of time, once again an unhurriedly male voice echoed: "If I had known earlier, I would come here for self-cultivation for several days every year."

This voice… Zhuo Qing gnashed her teeth: "Lou… Xi… Yan!"

"What a coincidence." A pretending to be surprised voice come out from the back of the rocks that separated part of the full moon pond.

Lou Xi Yan was unexpectedly soaking in the hot spring on the other side?! When did he come? She actually did not discover it or maybe he already came earlier. That, the time when she changed her clothes a moment ago…. Zhuo Qing’s heart was steaming and impatient, Lou Xi Yan’s clear and cold voice once again echoed: "You do not need to worry, indecent assault peeping and taking advantage of somebody’s precarious position, this kind of thing. I, Lou Xi Yan will never do it."

Leaning her back against the mountain rocks, Zhuo Qing was thinking that Lou Xi Yan should not be this kind of person. The most important thing was this separation of the mountain rocks was so low so when they were soaking in the pond, they should not see each other from the opposite site. If she stood up to wear her clothes this time, he would be able to see it throughly! Anyway, she would still wrap a white silk fabric on her body so it was not naked completely. She had already gone to a Japan’s male-female hot spring in the past, what should she be afraid of now!?

Soaking for a while, only hearing the rushing sound of the water, Lou Xi Yan did not speak again, Zhuo Qing said in a low voice: "Your physical condition is not suited to soak in a hot spring, it is easy for the illness to develop, it is better to go back early." It would be best for him to leave quickly, she should also get up. She was unable to breathe a little from soaking too long.

For a long time, Zhuo Qing almost thought that he already left. Lou Xi Yan’s muffled voice once again echoed: "What do you know about my illness?"

As it turned out, he was still here ah! Zhuo Qing used a white silk fabric to wrap the upper part of her body, sat up slightly and casually answered: "It should be asthma, one type of respiratory system ailment." Watching at the situation during the outbreak, it was awfully alike, but she did not have any specific examination so could not be sure.

Lou Xi Yan did not actually soak in the hot spring, he was only sitting on the shore of the rocks with his feet were soaking in the pond. Hearing Zhuo Qing’s words, his hand that was gently pushing aside the water stopped for a moment and consciously asked: "You will treat it?"

"I am not able to, I have only heard of it and know some protective measure." She learned to be a forensic investigator, ok?!

Eyes flashed with a bit of disappointment, but it quickly changed to pondering, Lou Xi Yan continued to gently push aside the water, it produced the sound of rushing water, gently smiled and said: "Qing-er is still indeed experienced and knowledgeable."

Zhuo Qing stared blankly, strangely called out: "What did you call me?!" Qing-er? Am I Bai Su Zhen! (from Madame White Snake – see below comment)

"You do not like it?" Pretending to ponder it over for a moment, Lou Xi Yan softly called: "Then, I will call you… Feng-er, ok."

Feng-er… She was almost mad…

The people from ancient times, if they did not call any name without this "er" character, they could not speak ah! "Call me Qing Feng!" Zhuo Qing was practically flustered and exasperated when she spoke.

Lou Xi Yan was satisfied and perked up to smile, exciting mood, very good! Continue… "Feng-er, did you get used moving from Hao Yue to Qiong Yue? I heard that Feng-er was versed in poetry and proficient in all kinds of folk musical theater, singing and dancing. If you need anything, simply instruct the servant to prepare it."

Zhuo Qing rolled her eyes, she knew nothing about poetry, anything related to folk dance was impassable. Lou Xi Yan clearly did not take seriously her yelling, Zhuo Qing impolitely answered: "People’s words can not be trusted, I hear that everyone praises Prime Minister Lou for his cultured and refined, honest, resolute, is a modest nobleman. It seems it resembles more like a rascal now."

Rascal? Lou Xi Yan softly raised his eyebrows, a sly smile on his face, very well, then he would let her see what a real rascal looked like….

His health was not suitable for any strenuous exercise, and the weather was this bad now.</p><p>Lou Xi Yan had not answered her, was only looking at a pair of long legs that were exposed, Lou Xi Yan’s expression was dark, Zhuo Qing only felt that her body was warm. Lou Xi Yan’s large cloak was already covering her completely, the chin was softly lifted up by him, she felt that his slightly cold fingertips were caressing the scar on her neck softly. Zhuo Qing was somewhat embarrassed and pulled her neck back, awkwardly answered: "I am fine, they injured more than me." Lou Xi Yan’s not laughing appearance, she still could not get used to, her heart would always beat wildly and restlessly….</p><p>Qi Tian Yu also entered the cave, seeing clearly the circumstances inside the cave, stared blankly and said: "Ru-er, how come you are also here?" Looking at her almost naked appearance, Qi Tian Yu’s complexion was cloudy, promptly took off the long gown (cheongsam) and draped it on Ru-er’s body.</p><p>"Young Master!" Several days of nervousness, severe crisis one after another, looking at Qi Tian Yu, Ru-er could not help to choke with emotions in the end.</p><p>Qi Tian Yu was supporting her shoulder, wanting to help her up, unexpectedly exerted herself to stand up physically, Ru-er was immediately trembling in pain. Zhuo Qing urgently said: "Be careful, her leg suffered a fracture, it is best not to walk around."</p><p>She was saying this, Qi Tian Yu just discovered that Ru-er’s leg was wrapped by a long strip of clothing, even more carefully held her to stand up. Ru-er was still unwilling to get up, facing Zhuo Qing and asked: "Miss, I have not asked for your name yet?"</p><p>"I am…. Qing Feng."</p><p>"I am Fei Ru, many thanks to Miss for saving me." Finished speaking, Fei Ru borrowed Qi Tian Yu’s arm to support her, then half kneeling on the ground. Not used that the other person kowtowed herself with this big etiquette towards her, Zhuo Qing retreated back one step, pointing at Qian Jing’s back and said: "Do not be like this, if you want to thank just thank him, ok."</p><p>Ru-er was still stubbornly facing Zhuo Qing to do one kowtow etiquette afterwards, only then also facing towards Qian Jing to salute. Qian Jing waved his hand, while the other hand clutched his wound, with whimpering mouth, answered: "Ok, ok, I know…. I am very powerful, you do not need to thank me, a very slight effort, a very slight effort, nothing more!"</p><p>Perhaps because of breaking away from the crisis, Qian Jing’s spirit was a lot better, not allowing his joyful satisfaction, Zhuo Qing’s hands were on her chest, casted a sidelong glance at him and coldly groaned to say: "A very slight effort? Yeah right, apart from the throwing knives, you are a nobody! Still call yourself a bounty hunter, you are able to live until now is indeed the heaven’s blessing!"</p><p>The corner of Qian Jing’s mouth was stiffed, lowly breathed and said: "What do you understand, ugly woman, apart from the throwing knives, my qing gong (轻功, I can’t really translate these words as I’m not sure what the English words are. If you read Wu xia or kungfu novel, you are familiar with the movements of those martial arts people who can jump so high with this move or fly so easily. This type of light movement is called qing gong) is indeed unrivaled. Even my senior brother and senior sister (QJ is talking about his senior brother and sister from the same martial arts school) are not my match at this type of expertise, so I am a better bounty hunter than them!"</p><p>Lou Xi Yan’s pupils shimmered, still remained calm and collected. How could Zhuo Qing have this good self cultivation, immediately laughed heartily and said: "Talking for a long time, just to say that running away is your greatest skill!"</p><p>Qian Jing indifferently curled his lips, groaningly said: "So what? Naturally, if you are unable to defeat, you want to run away, so running away successfully is the expert of expert! Do you know why I choose the throwing knives as my weapon? First, it is because playing with it is very handsome. Second, if I am unable to defeat the person, I can run easily! Hiss—-" While talking, Qian Jing could not help to want to gesture, so he pulled the wound and grimaced in pain.</p><p>Zhuo Qing hurriedly crouched, anxiously said: "How are you feeling?! Do not get carried away!" This person was indeed an eccentric person, the so called martial arts people would be shy and embarrassed to speak about leaving behind and running away on their own? He was actually good, said justly and forcefully, but also because he did not have an undeserved reputation, frankly, it really made Zhuo Qing admire him.</p><p>Covering the wound that was unbearably painful with his hand, Qian Jing stared at Zhuo Qing, shouted: "If it were not because of you who were in the way, how could I be this much miserable!?"</p><p>Looking at his raging appearance, Zhuo Qing could not get angry, instead laughed lowly, the more she laughed, the more Qian Jing stared at her fiercely. Zhuo Qing laughed even louder, two people were staring and competing at each other, ignoring the other people who were on the side. Qi Tian Yu secretly looked at Lou Xi Yan, only saw that his face did not have any expression, unconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly, also slightly flicked his index finger to show that his mood was not good now.</p><p>Lightly coughing, Qi Tian Yu </p><p>Qian Jing withdrew his line of sight, refreshingly nodded and answered: "Fine, fine!" Saving him money to see the doctor ~~~</p><p>"Someone comes!" Qi Tian Yu called out, then the two bodyguards came to support Qian Jing.</p><p>Zhuo Qing stretched her waist, she was about to follow after them to return to the hot spring garden together, her wrist was met by a slightly ice cold’s hand, Zhuo Qing did not understand and looked at the side towards Lou Xi Yan. Lou Xi Yan carefully pulled her cloak, faintly and quietly said: "I want to rush to return to the Prime Minister’s manor now, Bei Qi’s diplomatic envoys arrived earlier in Qiong Yue, I have to attend the banquet at the palace tomorrow evening. I want to take advantage of the situation to take you along, and arrange the meeting between you and your elder sister, you can come back here after the end of the banquet. You want to return with me now, or want to stay at the hot spring garden to rest properly, and meet your elder sister next time?"
