My Lord is A Stone Chapter 65

Wen Shi wore an apricot red brocade double layered jacket, her jet-black hair was styled by her temples, a gingko silver hairpin stuck in her hair, a graceful figure, seeming extremely simply yet elegant.

Zhao Jin Yu opened her mouth to say, “Auntie, I'm Jin Yu ah.”

“You are Jin girl? How can this be...” Wen Shi once again looked up and down the splendidly dressed young lady in front of her, seeing those familiar brows and eyes, then did she reveal a pleasantly surprised expression, with a creak she opened the gate, moving emotionally to hold her arms, “How did you become like this?” She once again looked left and right, there were at least ten young and old maids alone who had come with her, let's not talk about the eunuch standing at the side.

Wen Shi wasn't an ignorant married woman, so with a glance she could tell eunuch w.a.n.g was an eunuch, her expression changed, pulling Zhao Jin Yu to a quiet area she said, “Tell auntie, what is actually happening? Could it be you…, some marquis wants you as a concubine?” Towards the end her tone became quite impatient, as if she was rather angry.

Zhao Jin Yu couldn't help hold Wen Shi's hands in return, saying, “Auntie, it's not what you think.”

“Then what is it?” Wen Shi danced on her feet, saying, “That pale skinned person, clearly is a eunuch, your father is still in prison…, mother and older brother are missing without a trace, with such a background can you still enter the palace to be an imperial concubine? It must be a marquis in the capital city who wants to take you as a concubine? Are you truly muddled, even if you are homeless, auntie can still afford to feed an extra mouth? How can you choose such a path!” Towards the end Wen Shi was simply bitter.

Zhao Jin Yu watched the sweat on Wen Shi's forehead from anxiety, her eyebrows knitted together, appearing to burn with anxiety, not knowing what was happening, the rim of her eyes were actually red, this woman was not a relative of hers, yet compared to her adoptive mother she cared about her even more.

Towards the end Wen Shi because she was impatient, her voice was rather loud, naturally the eunuch w.a.n.g standing to one side heard it, eunuch w.a.n.g couldn't help stroke his nose, not knowing whether or not to tell this woman, Lady Zhao really is going to the palace.

Nanny Li who stood to one side gracefully walked over, smiling she held Wen Shi's arm, saying, 

“You are the Lady Zhang the eldest young lady frequently mentions?”

Wen Shi looked doubtful, saying, “Eldest young lady?”

Nanny Li had a smile on her face, appearing very proper and graceful, she said, “Lady Zhang may not know, eldest young lady is our Hangzhou's Zhao family's eldest young lady, she was lost when she was young, she was only found last year, she has already returned to her family.”

“Hangzhou's Zhou family?” Wen Shi sized up nanny Li, even if she was dressed as a servant, but her clothes were not inferior to an ordinary small household, a natural and unrestrained manner, he couldn't help say, “Mentioning the Hangzhou Zhao family, naturally it would be the family of the divine calligrapher…” Following which she yelled startled, “Could you be talking about that family?”

Nanny Li nodded, saying, “That's right, also…, our eldest young lady is really entering the palace, she's already been bestowed the t.i.tle of second pin Zhaoyi, according to the rules she ought to be called niangniang.”

In just a moment, Wen Shi sat on the kang somewhat ill at ease, once again urging Zhao Jin Yu, “Zhao…lady, drink tea.”

Zhao Jin Yu was rather helpless, saying to nanny Li and the others, “Leave first, I want to speak with auntie alone.”

Waiting until Zhao Jin Yu remained, she rushed to Wen Shi's side, holding Wen Shi's palm to rub against her own cheek, with a pair of ceramic like eyes, she said, “Auntie, even though I've returned to my family, but I am still that Jin girl you watched grow up.”

Wen Shi's complexion gradually softened, a good while later did she then sigh saying, “Isn't that so, 

you're still that gluttonous little girl.” Wen Shi's voice was both gentle and soft, a strong sense of 

concern.

Zhao Jin Yu couldn't help laugh, immediately again the tears uncontrollably flowed, like when she was seeing a close relative…, a person would always find it hard to restrain their sorrow, “In truth a lot of things happened this year, my grandmother pa.s.sed away in order to protect me, older brother and mother….” Zhao Jin Yu did not know older brother and mother's whereabouts at all, but the Tiangui sect had suffered a defeat, their situation was clearly not good.

“Child, you really have suffered.” Wen Shi said rather distressed.

The two people then spoke for a little while longer, Wen Shi also gradually returned to her original ease, pointing at the snacks on top of the kang she said, “Your uncle Zhang likes to eat braised pork shoulder…, but so many sugar-coated sticks, did you actually buy them for yourself?”

Zhao Jin Yu hehe laughed, saying, “I bought them for Shu Bao those two children, where are they? Have they gone to school? Uncle Zhang should also return right” Zhao Jin Yu wanted to greet Zhang 

Zhi Shi before she left, this family was different from others in her heart.

“Your uncle Zhang will be busy until very late, you shouldn't wait, it's enough to have such thoughts, as for Shu Bao…, they've recently had more lessons at the school, they also return late.” Even though Wen Shi was smiling, but that smile did not reach her eyes.

Zhao Jin Yu very quickly discovered the peculiarity, she said, “Auntie, did something happen?”

“No!” Wen Shi hurriedly shook her head.

Zhao Jin Yu carefully sized Wen Shi up, then did she notice her sunken eyes, looking like she had not slept well for several days.

It was then, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and an unpleasant roar, “Person with the surname Zhang, open the door for me, quickly hand over those little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds of yours! See what happens if you don't!”

Zhao Jin Yu supported Wen Shi walking out, just as the door was opened she saw several fiendish looking men outside, blocking the doorway, a lofty and robust man led the way, there was a scar on his forehead, a bloodthirsty look in his eyes with killing intent, “Our master has taken an interest on your family's little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, that is his blessing, not only do you not know gratefulness, you actually hurt our master, hurry up and hand that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d over!”

A unswerving determination and indifference covered Wen Shi's face, she said, “Our family's children are not here.”

“You s.l.u.t, you really don't listen.” That man who took the lead shuffled taking out a sword from his waist, hoping two steps he moved close to Wen Shi, gripping her neck he said, “Are you really not afraid of dying?”

A flash of amazement flashed through Zhao Jin Yu's face, she said, “Who are you? Do you not know this is Zhang Zhi Shi, Lord Zhang's home? You actually dare to act tyrannical here! Quickly put down that sword!”

That leader hearing this couldn't help laugh loudly, as if Zhao Jin Yu had told a joke, “I didn't expect you to actually also hide such a beautiful young lady.” Following which he lecherously looked her over a few times, “Young lady, maybe you don't know who my family is? We are the from the palace's consort Yu's family, do you know consort Yu?”

“I don't know her! I only know what you're doing is intolerable, in your eyes, you can break the law because your family has an imperial concubine?” Zhao Jin Yu was uncontrollably angry, gnashing her teeth she said.

“The law, our Peng family's words is law.” Immediately after he said to the people behind him, 

“Capture them all, take them back for the young master to deal with.”

“Stop!” A sharp voice cut through the night sky, along with this word eunuch w.a.n.g walked over with a group of soldiers, when eunuch w.a.n.g had seen a group of fiendish people come over he had known there was a problem…, he hurriedly called over the soldiers guarding by the carriage over, before because he was scared of alarming the common people inside, that's why he did not allow the soldiers to follow them in.

These people were the emperor's imperial guards, normally they were arrogant idlers, if it wasn't for the emperor personally decreeing they had to escort her this time, they would not have been willing to come out and suffer hardship, this entire journey they had faced a lot of wind and frost, finally they could return home and take a hot bath, hold their wife and children closely, who knew such a group of people would suddenly appear.

That leader could be considered to know a little something, seeing those who had arrived were imperial guards, took a step back in slight fear, saying, “Who are you? I'm from consort Yu's family, the Peng family's manager Li San.”

The imperial guards had been extremely pretentious in their appearance, but hearing these words they cowered somewhat.

Consort Yu's pin was naturally higher than Zhao Jin Yu, but their a.s.signment this time was to protect 

Zhao Jin Yu, now they naturally couldn't take on that person, and guarantee Zhao Jin Yu's absolute safety, the imperial guard w.a.n.g Zheng thought about it, eventually in an affable manner, he explained the situation clearly, this manager also did not appear to have experienced the outside world before, naturally he would understand his reason.

“So it's head manager Li, I am imperial guard w.a.n.g Zheng, the one before you is Zhao Zhaoyi personally bestowed the t.i.tle by the emperor, although you may be from the Consort Yu's parents' family, but you still cannot be rude to Zhaoyi niangniang?” His tone was very thick with a threatening undertone. “If the emperor hears about this, it could be a serious crime resulting in a beheading!”

Li San trembled with fear, rolling his eyes, very quickly he understood today was not the right time to come, he said, “Haha, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding…, we must have recognised the wrong person, we'll leave.”

The imperial guard w.a.n.g Zheng hearing Li San having such a clear view of things, also did not make things difficult for him, he said, “Since the situation has been sorted, then it's fine, everyone please.”

Waiting until after those people left, Zhao Jin Yu asked for the entire story from Wen Shi's mouth, she almost fainted with anger, she couldn't help the tears coating her eyelashes, hoa.r.s.ely she said, 

“That young master of the Peng family actually is a catamite, and wanted to get his fingers on Shu Bao?” Such a young child…, Zhao Jin Yu felt very distressed thinking about it. “Are there still laws in the world? Is there no one to control this? It's simply too repulsive!” She could still remember when she had initially left, the two children had seen her off reluctant to part with her.

“Lord Su doesn't know?” Zhao Jin Yu thought in accordance to Su Qing Chen's character, he would not endure such a thing happening.

“Your uncle Zhang said he did not want to drag him into it, since it's Consort Yu's family, who would dare to cause trouble?” Wen Shi held a handkerchief, speaking as she wiped her tears.

“Silly, at such a time how can reputation only be thought of? If by chance Shu Bao…”

Hearing this Wen Shi finally couldn't help wail, these past few days she had been supressed it excessively, putting on a strong front, a strengthless commoner was merely fish food.

t.i.tle for an imperial concubine.

Someone who likes to have a young boy as a s.e.xual partner.
