Young Master, am I going with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.” Jiang Yuan nodded while drying his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we call Uncle Ma and the others?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the way, Shu Xiaoxiao had an excited look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her curious eyes could not stop darting everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything in Lin’an County was incredibly fresh to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time she came to Lin’an County she was sold by her parents to Yunyan Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time she felt completely lost, unable to spare a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the situation was completely different. Staying with Jiang Yuan gave her a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart was filled with peace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when they were halfway there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice suddenly came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Jiang, please wait a moment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan looked back and saw an affluent-looking old man smiling at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Jiang Yuan was a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the curtain of the side sedan was suddenly pulled open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ancient and calm voice came into Jiang Yuan’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, it’s Steward Xia!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan paid his respects: “May I ask what Steward Xia has to point out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visitor was indeed the steward of the county government office, who handled almost all the affairs, large and small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could be regarded as one of Li Hong’s real confidants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Xia glanced at Shu Xiaoxiao, then at Jiang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are you going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yunyan Pavilion!” Jiang Yuan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these three words, he immediately furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said, “Jiang Yuan, you are still young, and possess such talent. Why not practice instead of wasting your time in such lewd places?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know? The Honourable County Leader is very disappointed in you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan was speechless as he looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he calmly replied, “My visit to Yunyan Pavilion is my practice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, he was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sighed: “Fine, have it your way! I must take my leave. I hope you will think about your future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he finished speaking, he returned to his sedan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a touch of anger in his voice, he commanded, “Steward Lin, let’s go home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slightly chubby middle-aged man bowed his head and complied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he bellowed, “Move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the steward’s sedan leave, Jiang Yuan faintly heard him say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s really an uncarvable block of wood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Xiaoxiao whispered, “Young Master, did you have a quarrel with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan laughed, “What quarrel! He meant well, he just thinks too highly of himself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon finishing, Jiang Yuan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shu Xiaoxiao quickly followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunyan Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan had just stepped in the front gate. Immediately, a familiar voice reached his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, isn’t this Young Master Jiang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was wondering why I kept hearing the chattering of a magpie. It turns out\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Jiang has graced us with his presence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matron from before instantly greeted him with a joyful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, she came up to Jiang Yuan with a somewhat embarrassed tone: “Young\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Jiang, you see, it’s just afternoon and the ladies are resting.” Jiang Yuan waved his hand: “Call Su Xin to play a song for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, her worry turned into joy: “Her? Alright, alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon finishing, she quickly trotted to the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Room number one of the Tian Series.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan had just taken a sip of rice wine when the “thud thud thud” of knocking sounded. “Come in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room door was gradually opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl appeared in front of Jiang Yuan, about eighteen years old, dressed in white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My name is Su Xin, pleased to meet you, Young Master Jiang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bowed politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name]: Bai Susu\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Realm]: Yet to enter\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Innate qi movement]: Heaven’s Voice (White), Mastery over musical notation (White), Aristocrat of the Scholarly (White)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heaven’s Voice]: Possesses a remarkable singing voice, her songs can soothe the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mastery over musical notation]: Excellent at playing the zither, her music can reach the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aristocrat of the Scholarly]: Born into a refined family, has an extraordinary talent for the arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then sat down with dignity on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am not certain what kind of melody Young Master Jiang would like to hear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anything will do, play something you’re good at, preferably something gentle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, her slender fingers touched the strings of the zither.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, gentle sounds flowed like a babbling brook, the ripples of water droplets resonated through the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a soft wind was blowing through the mountains, the birds singing in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of comfort filled Jiang Yuan’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The throbbing pain in his brow eased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His guess was correct, the sound of her zither indeed had the effect of soothing emotional wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Jiang Yuan laid his head on Shu Xiaoxiao’s lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding immediately, Shu Xiaoxiao placed her fingers between Jiang Yuan’s temples and began to gently massage him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zither and singing from room number one of the Tian Series on the second floor went on throughout the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the girl in white in front of him, her mouth closed tightly, tears falling from her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was fresh blood seeping out of her fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan said, “Do you resent me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Yuan began to speak, the music from the zither gradually ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xin shook her head, drying her eyes with her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it that you dare not, or you do not?” “Neither dare I resent you, nor do I resent you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan said, “You are fairly honest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he asked, “I heard your father was once the governor of Qinghe Commandery?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xin nodded her head, but was unwilling to say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan glanced at her white clothes, then said, “Observing three years of filial mourning, you are indeed commendably dutiful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is only what a son or daughter should do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pursed her lips and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan smiled, “I heard that you only want to be a guqin player?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she gaped at Jiang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan’s mouth curled into a smile, “Today, your zither playing was quite good, it was a big help to me, so I’ll fulfill your wish.” As he spoke, Jiang Yuan pulled a red rope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the red rope moved, the bell downstairs would ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people below would then know that they were needed upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Jiang Yuan’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xin immediately sank to her knees, dropping to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Young Master Jiang, for your great kindness!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how much torment she had been through to remain a virgin until this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because her father committed a great crime, dozens of family members were banished or beheaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was reduced to a prostitute, but they dared not force her too much because she was the legitimate daughter of the former governor of Qinghe\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commandery and they still considered her father’s connections during his lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for these reasons, her so-called struggle would have been in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with Jiang Yuan’s promise, she knew she was safe and could keep her chastity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan said calmly, “You need not thank me, this is the result of your perseverance in playing the zither all afternoon, you earned it yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Update will resume tomorrow at
