34 Interesting Place

I will remind you of every single word that you said to me

And engrave it into your core

So you will never betray me again

Xiao Chen

***

Huang Jing Er is really shocked when she looks around because she finds herself standing alone on the edge of a dead-end path beside the restaurant where she and Xiao Chen have made a deal to meet over there.

"Did I just see a ghost?" Huang Jing Er embraces herself because since she arrived in this city a lot of things have occurred.

"Lady, where are you?" Huang Jing Er can hear An Ping's voice in her head and that means she can use her craft without restriction.

"An Ping, I am here." Huang Jing Er sent her location to An Ping and just in a few minutes An Ping and Xiao Ran find her.

They look so tired because they were looking for Huang Jing Er this morning but can't find her as Huang Jing Er looked so startled after she met a lot of ghosts just in one night.

"Lady, are you alright?" Xiao Ran asked her.

Actually, Huang Jing Er wants to tell them everything but she doesn't know how to start. From being kidnapped by the unknown man? Trapped in the cursed manor? Or tell them since she met Xiao Chen?

"Lady?"

"Huh?" Huang Jing Er looked so shocked after what happened to her until she can't hear when Xiao Ran called her.

"Lady, have you had breakfast?" An Ping looked at Huang Jing Er worriedly.

"No. I think I want to eat everything right now." Huang Jing Er said while looking at An Ping and Xiao Ran.

The nearest place to eat is just in this restaurant so they get into the restaurant. Huang Jing Er takes a place and orders a lot of food.

"Lady, please tell us what happened to you? We were just looking for you this morning but we can't find you anywhere." An Ping asked curiously.

"A lot of things occurred just don't ask me right now because I can't think properly without eating something."

A few minutes later, the food was served on her table. Huang Jing Er just eats them all without thinking any further. She still doesn't understand why there are people who want to kidnap her. Huang Jing Er can't remember that she has an enemy because all this time, she lives at Huang manor peacefully.

As An Ping and Xiao Ran see Huang Jing Er eating the food as if she wants to eat until dies, they stop eating and see Huang Jing Er instead.

"Why do both of you look at me? Just eat. Don't waste the food." Huang Jing Er said to both of them.

"Lady, are you alright?" An Ping asked her again.

Huang Jing Er looks around because she doesn't want anyone to hear An Ping call her Lady.

"An Ping. Can you see? There are a lot of people here? An Ping, this is not in Huang manor so don't call me Lady."

"Lady, do you want the Old Man to kill me and An Ping?" Xiao Ran looked at Huang Jing Er with an intimidating gaze.

Even Xiao Ran is Huang Jing Er's maid indeed but The Old man as the guardian in Huang Manor has ordered Xiao Ran and An Ping if something happens to Huang Jing Er then both of them have to die. The Old Man is the one most respected witch in Huang manor.

After the Old Man, there is Xiao Ran the chief of the maids. When Xiao Ran is speaking, every maid in Huang manor must obey her. Huang Jing Er hears her because Xiao Ran always says something to pierce her heart and makes Huang Jing Er think a lot about what she said to her.

"Alright. But at least when we are in the crowded place both of you have to call me Miss, not Lady."

Huang Jing Er protested because she is still in disguise but Xiao Ran and An Ping call her Lady even she had told them to call her Miss instead.

"And see me know? I am in a disguise yet both of you call me Lady." Huang Jing Er protested.

"Then we understand." An Ping and Xiao Ran said together after hearing Huang Jing Er's complaint.

"Alright, just eat the food. Is there something important that has occurred when I wasn't here?" Huang Jing Er asked them because she still worries about a lot of things.

"I think I found the right place for us." An Ping said to her.

"Then just arrange everything to buy that place." Huang Jing Er said without any hesitation.

"But…Don't you want to see how is that place before? The owner doesn't want to sell the manor for us"

"But why?"

"His subordinate said that he will let us rent with a cheap price but not for sale." An Ping explained to Huang Jing Er.

"Alright… I can understand." Huang Jing Er takes a deep breath because she thinks this is so weird and looks at An Ping's eyes. "Then I will ask you. Is there a pavilion in that place?"

"Yes."

"Is that place big enough for us to do business?"

"Yes. The owner said he will help us." An Ping said to her.

"Then tell me, what's the problem?" Huang Jing Er is still confused.

"That building… that building was Li's family manor eight years ago." An Ping said with a trembled voice as if there is something that she wants to keep from Huang Jing Er.

Huang Jing Er can sense something weird in her heart since she heard from An Ping about Li's family manor. She doesn't understand that since An Ping mentioned that place was Li's family manor, Huang Jing Er became more interested in that manor.

But there is an important question in her head.

Who is the owner of Li's manor because all members of Li's family have died a long time ago?

"Who is the owner?" Huang Jing Er asked An Ping.
