See How dignified this Grand Tutor Is!

Zhao Xing was put in the carriage, and was brought to the prince mansion, that night, in maids clothing. The prince apologized for his rudeness once again as he said it was to dispel suspicion. Poor Zhao Xing who had no strength to be proud of could only comply. God knows she was scared to death. How could this be happening, at first she had wanted to struggle but after Xiao Chen had grabbed her, she didn't know what he did but she couldn't move nor could she make a sound. Upon that realization she panicked even more.

How can you treat me like this? Respectable grand tutor my foot! If she didn't know she would have thought they came to seek revenge for past grievances!

Her eyes became teary, and she felt so much despair and anger she could faint.

After being tossed around, They finally arrived.

They got of the carriage, the guards at the gates greeted the prince solemnly. Zhao Xing stared at their frightening faces, the armor that covered their bodies and the sword scabbard that hid a horrifying weapon no one wanted to see. Zhao Xing mourned her fate.

Upon entering the big gates a huge courtyard greeted them.

Only heaven knows what courtyard they arrived next. But it was beautiful and big. Zhao Xing guessed it was the prince quarters.

The prince sat on a stool, and looked up at her who was being supported by two servant girls.

He had a friendly smile, but upon closer look, there was an air of superiority.

"Grand tutor, I'll release your acupoints, make sure not to make a sound."

Zhao Xing's eyes widened. And she quickly nodded.

Forget about your dignity, right now, safety was more important.

She had thought far and deep about her life on their way here. A tutor, no problem, she could pretend to know a thing or two. The most important thing at the moment was to figure out a way to get back home.

Seeing her like this the prince gave his signal, and Xiao Chen released her acupoint.

Zhao Xing had already calmed down by now, she moved her body, and checked herself, It was hard not moving for so long. She cleared her throat, trying to put on a dignified look. Her years spent on reading historical fiction, and watching palace dramas were not in vain! Today, she would show them how dignified and respectable she, Zhao Xing could be.

"Wangye, since you've been searching for me for so long, you must desperately need my help. Though I truly do not wish to help you, I have already been summoned, so I will do my best to help you"

The Prince stared at her as if contemplating her words. He seemed to be a little suspicious. Zhao Xing could tell. But he still stood and thanked her.

"Then this prince will trouble grand tutor"(1: addressing himself) He said.

Zhao Xing inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. But she knew that the crisis had just began, and was far from over. She really didn't want this conversation to go any deeper. She needed an elaborate plan to save herself. If not, she had already admitted to being the grand tutor, if the prince found out she was lying then only heaven knows what would become of her.

But as if heaven was on her side, the prince walked up to her and said, "It must have been a tiring night for grand tutor. The maids will take you to your quarters."

Zhao Xing really wanted to kneel and thank her ancestors, but still tried her best to give an appropriate smile. And soon she was lead away by the maids. At that moment Zhao Xing felt more at ease. The two maids were petite, with their hair held up in two buns, walking in a constant pace, with their heads down. Occasionally they would sneak a peek at her. Zhao Xing felt they were too cute! In this nightmare, they were the best thing that happened!

It took some time for them to arrive. And when Zhao Xing almost couldn't take it anymore they finally settled her down in a courtyard, she estimated that it was the furthest so far. Though it seemed rundown it was particularly neat, as if it had been prepared before time.

"This place is where Wangye had arranged for you, I hope grand tutor doesn't find it too shabby." Xiao Chen said from behind almost scaring poor Zhao Xing to death.

When did this guy tag along, was he a ghost? Zhao Xing screamed inwardly.

"Not shabby, not shabby at all" Zhao Xing said, lightly patting her chest to calm down.

Was this guy crazy? Tonight she has really suffered.

Xiao Chen nodded, saluted and finally left, to Zhao Xing's relief. She could finally settle down. She looked at the ancient style all around, she felt so much like a tourist, as she leisurely assessed her surroundings. It wasn't so bad. If she brought her mother's camera she could take a shot or two of this place, or even herself. Not a bad idea.

Soon a little servant girl came forward and timidly asked "Would Grand tutor like to have your bath soon?"

Zhao Xing had a weakness, if it was cute it was justified. Cuteness was the law in her universe. And so when she saw the little girl all small and cute her heart melted, and she was automatically happy.

"Of course." she tried hard not to add the word 'baby' at the end of the sentence. She could only inwardly scream at how cute this creature was!

The bath was already ready and she was able to enjoy the pleasure her ancestors enjoyed in their days.

Zhao Xing sighed, feeling refreshed. Though he made her suffer, the prince was still a good host, at least for now.

In her relaxation she did not forget her predicament and started to plan for her next move. She didn't know exactly why the prince was desperately looking for this grand tutor. She suddenly regretted not asking him earlier. She had too little information about the enemy. This was not good for her at all. Then what could she do? What if she messed up when the prince calls upon her tomorrow? Would he get rid of her then? What would become of her?

Amidst her thoughts she didn't know when she drifted off to sleep. But when she woke up it was already mourning.

Zhao Xing gawked at the rays of sunlight passing through the window and remembered that last night she had taken a bath, but didn't remember getting out of the bathtub. The problem was, despite this, she was lying on a soft bed.

"Zhao Xing! Get up already, you'll be late for school!"

"Um" She responded, Zhao Xing lazily turned and tossed a little.

"Um!?" she instantly sat straight.

Staring dumbfounded, at her room. She was back!

Just then her five year old brother made his glorious appearance, wearing his school uniform.

"Jie, mom said-" but before he could finish he had already been swiped of the ground into the arms of his sister and received a big 'muah' on his cheek.

"Ma!" the little guy felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and called out to his mother.

"Xiao Yun, what's the matter?" but when Mrs. Zhao arrived, Xiao Yun's feet were already back on the floor where they belonged. His face was red, and his head bowed. One couldn't tell whether it were from embarrassment or anger.

Seeing this sight, Mrs. Zhao was even more puzzled, and turned to Zhao Xing. "Xing Xing?"

But she just shrugged and ran off. Mrs. Zhao shook her head, checked her watch, and then glanced at the kid who remained silent. "Xiao Yun? come on, baby, let's go."

It really was a dream, it almost scared her to death! Today she went to school and handed the manhua back to her desk mate. "Xiao Lu, I think I should quit"
