Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

26 Madam Xie

After Jun Hua left, Lin San still looked like a foolish girl. By her side, Lin Hong could not watch it any longer and shook Lin San heavily.

"Sister! Wake up!" Lin Hong said angrily. He did not see what Lin San saw when Jun Min passed by her but he was sure that his sister's heart was captured deeply. The expression on Lin San's face was that of a foolish one.

"Eh, Lin Hong? What is it?" Lin San snapped and smiled stiffly.

Lin Hong stared at her eyes. "Forget about that man. You can never have him."

Lin Hong's words were like a spear tearing up her heart. Lin San glared at Lin Hong. "Why are you saying things like that? You don't know the future!"

After that, Lin San turned away angrily. Lin Hong stayed rooted at his place. He didn't know the future? Of course he wouldn't know! However, he knew that someone like Jun Min wouldn't set his eyes on Lin San. They might be around the same age, but they lived in a completely different world.

Lin Hong just didn't want his sister to get hurt. He wanted the best for her and a decent man for her too. Although the little girl didn't seem like she appreciated it at all, he would not let his sister experience any mishap. Lin Hong gaze was cold, but he didn't do anything and returned to his room to continue his study.

On the other hand, Jun Hua had long gone to the servant's office and selected some good servants. She picked a few who were still young and a few who were already middle age. Finishing the task at hand, Jun Hua returned to the Lin family residence by sneaking in.

The security around Lin family residence was terribly poor that she could easily sneak in. The guard didn't even notice anything wrong while she walked around leisurely.

Soon Jun Hua arrived at her quarter. Xia and Yamin have already finished moving all of her things. They worked in high speed, but careful. It was only when she appeared before them that they noticed her.

"Miss! You startled me," Xia exclaimed.

"Good work. I will change my clothes and appearance first. Had Chun Maora appeared with the contracted servant girl?"

"Not yet Miss."

Jun Hua nodded and went into her room. After cleaning up her makeup and face mask, she asked Xia to do her hair and clothes. It took her some time and by the time she finished, she noticed that a steward had come with two girls behind him. One of them was a middle-aged woman and the other was that 12 years old girl.

"Miss, the girl's mother insists that she has to work beside her daughter so this lowly one could only bring them here."

The steward felt troubled since he had heard that it was Jun Min who asked for the girl to serve his sister. With the news about Jun Min found easily in the capital, a lot of people had long known about him. They were afraid to get into his bad side, so the steward could only bring them to Jun Hua and let the girl resolve it.

Jun Hua looked at the middle age woman. She was hugging her daughter tightly and refused to let her daughter go. The little girl was clearly confused, but she still remained silent in her mother's arms.

"It's fine. Just give me their contract."

The steward sighed in relief and handed the contract to her. In any case, the middle-aged woman was not really useful, so it's just fine to let her be the girl servant. Finishing his duty, the steward walked away in relief.

Jun Hua looked at the two girls. "Please look up, Madam Xie."

The middle-aged woman raised her head to look at Jun Hua. In that instant, her eyes started to get wet and tears fell heavily from them. Her daughter was startled, but she didn't understand why her mother suddenly cried.

"Young Miss Hua, is that you? You're alive."

"Yes, I'm fine, Madam Xie. How are you?" Jun Hua smiled warmly. She recognized her daughter from their similar features. Madam Xie was one of the few servant girls her mother used to have. Jun Hua hadn't heard from them for a long time, and she was greatly surprised to see them here.

"I'm fine. I would never expect that you can survive Miss. All those year, it must be hard on you."

Jun Hua waited until Madam Xie calmed down. Madam Xie was one of her mother's loyal servants but she was sent away to get married. This incident turned into a blessing because Madam Xie could avoid that disaster.

"Miss Hua, do you still remember this place? This is the place where your mother used to stay."

Jun Hua shook her head. She couldn't remember at all. When she left this residence, she was only a 4-year old girl that there were things she couldn't remember. There were only a few bits of memories she had about the Lin family residence.

Madam Xie nodded in sadness. "It's expected that a young girl cannot remember things vividly, but I never thought that you would return here, Miss."

"Neither do I."

Jun Hua didn't have many pleasant memories of this place. The thing she remembered the most was when she was 4 year old, her mother came to her while crying saying that she was sorry. The next day, they left the residence. That was the incident that sealed her fate up forever.

Madam Xie wiped her tears. "I may not have been there when your mother was chased out, but I was here when that despicable woman forced her to become the concubine."

Jun Hua eyes flashed with interest. She knew that to promote a woman from concubine to be a legal wife, the husband must have paid a heavy price if they already have a main wife. Then to make his wife to be the concubine instead, she was sure that Lin Tang did not go unscathed.

"What happened? If I'm not wrong, there are large sums of money you need to pay and a heavy beating, right?"

Madam Xie nodded. "Originally, Lin Tang also didn't want to do it, but Chun Maora's brother took his place in beating, thus allowed Lin Tang to agree. As for the money, the Lin family didn't lack of money, so they could send the money easily."

"Lin Tang agreed just like that?" Jun Hua eyebrows rose.

"No, he only agreed after Chun Maora gave birth to the twins."
