Arriving at the big river village

Murong Si felt his heart jump out of his throat. If he had known this would happen, he would have gone along with his mother and worked in the fields, no matter how Murong Tai stopped him! 

"Got you," Murong Tai spoke from behind and just as Murong Si thought that she had caught him, he saw her peek at the bush next to him. From where a small lizard ran past leaving Murong Tai fume. 

"Where did that bastard hide?" She cursed as she ran her fingers through her hair. Murong Tai wanted to at least have a taste of that mer before sending him off. It would be too much of a loss for her if she was to sleep with someone's else sloppy seconds. 

She had deliberately asked her mother to let Murong Si stay behind as it would tan his skin before his marriage. Old Madam Murong agreed with her and she did not take Murong Si to the fields, Murong Tai thought that it was her chance to make her move.
