THE FLOWER PALACE'S SECRET

Chapter 8: Enjoying the Instant Freedom

Shen Yanzhia started to dirty her hands with the ground. His fine fingers rubbed against the black color of the soil he mixed with water. His sweat dripped down his smooth forehead. Her razor-sharp hair occasionally moved in the wind.

“Nona, what will you do to avenge Tang Yin?” Tan’er who helped his employer make a sound.

“Do not discuss it now. I'm pissed!”

“But, he insulted you. This is the second time he's been acting arbitrarily.”

“Tan’er, don't instigate me. I said I'm upset right now.”

Tan’er closed his mouth. Ever since Lin Zian kicked the table and had Shen Yanzhia leave, Shen Yanzhia's state had not improved. His emotions are still bad. Now, look at what he did to vent his anger!

He bought two boxes of multicolored flowers and planted them around Lin Zian's pavilion! The flowers he bought using Lin Zian's money he got from Xu Chi.

The servant even nearly drowned because Shen Yanzhia was threatening him and forcing him. Shen Yanzhia also said that Xu Chi should not tell Lin Zian what he did.

“You were upset but instead planted so many flowers. Miss, you're really weird!”

“Since when can I behave normally if I'm angry? Hurry on! Finish it soon before the ugly wolf comes back. I won't take you out if your work doesn't finish soon.”

Shen Yanzhia still had to behave normally.She was the new occupant of this residence. Keeping a little attitude is one way to leave a good impression on him, although the way is somewhat strange for other normal humans.

If he did something that didn't make much sense, this entire servant in Prince Qin's residence would definitely talk about it. Although he had power, Shen Yanzhia did not want to abuse him for trivial matters. He would abuse it for something big and felt it was very important to him. Of course, how could a Shen Yanzhia possibly stop doing chaos?

The colorful flowers were finished he planted. Shen Yanzhia smiled at the results of her work. Now, Lin Zian's pavilion was already as beautiful as the palace's flower garden. Now it's time to go. Before the ugly wolf came and scolded him, Shen Yanzhia had to immediately flee out.

Although he had only been married one day, his world seemed to be deprived for a thousand years. The freedom-loving woman wants to go flying out freely again.

“Tan’er, let's go. There's something I should look for outside.”

“Nona, are you planning to run away again?”

“Not blurred. I need something.”

“No words not in your dictionary, Miss.”

“You want to come or you prefer to be punished alone by that ugly wolf?”

Tan’er stopped talking. Shen Yanzhia brought him to the wall that fenced the entire residence. The height of the wall was almost as high as a peach tree growing towered beside the newly planted land of flowers by Shen Yanzhia. The ends of the wall fence are made conical until when held, it will feel slippery and unbalanced.

“Nona, why don't we just go through the front gate?”

“Can we?”

“Of course! You're the mistress here. This is not the residence of His Highness Prince Yun. You don't have to climb walls anymore if you want to go.”

Shen Yanzhia walked in a hurry. The guard guard guarding the main gate lowered his head in salute when he saw him pass by followed by his personal servant. They did not harbor any suspicions until Shen Yanzhia was able to exit the residence smoothly.

The streets around the capital, as usual, were always crowded with people. Beverage shops, restaurants, inns, even brothels are crowded with people during the day like this.

Shen Yanzhia walked leisurely while whistling. His steps are regularly rhythmic. The freedom that yesterday was taken in half because the wedding ceremony procession seemed to return to him. Even though he was now free, he had to remain cautious as he went from wangfu secretly and without Lin Zian's permission.

If one of his subordinates or his pretentious housekeeper saw him and reported it to Lin Zian, Shen Yanzhia would probably receive punishment. Here, the walls alone have eyes and ears. Tan’er followed him while carrying the goods his employer had bought.

"Miss, why did you buy so many things? Our money supply is running low" Tan'er asked.

"Why are you worried about money? We won't fall poor."

"Is Miss going to rob Young Master?"

"Of course not. What's the robbing for?"

Tan'er's surrender. He promised himself he would never speak again.

Several women were performing dancing on a stage located in a building that was crowded with people. The women not only wore beautiful clothes, but they also had a gleaming and smooth body.

The movements of their hands and feet formed a beautiful phoenix shadow. Their bodies are very flexible. The dance moves look very natural and lifeless.

Lingxiang Pavilion, that was the name of the place where the dancing ladies were. The pavilion was located by the roadside, directly opposite the silk cloth shop that often supplied cloth to Yun's residence. Shen Yanzhia had already memorized properly with this pavilion.

Lingxiang Pavilion was an inn that served good and fair service until anyone could enter. The owner of the Lingxiang Pavilion was Mo Ran, a talented young woman who was the most famous in the capital.

From what Shen Yanzhia had heard, many nobles and sons of officials proposed to her to be his wife and concubine. But none of them are accepted. Mo Ran is a very choosy woman. Shen Yanzhia had a good relationship with the owner of the pavilion. Mo Ran was occasionally seen standing by the second-floor window of the pavilion.

“Nona, what else will you buy?” Tan'er broke his own promise not to ask again.

“My sponsorship is enough. Tan’er, I want to find the mad woman healer I saw yesterday. I'm curious, it looks like he's no ordinary healer.”

“But Miss, if Young Master knew you weren't in wangfu, he might get mad.”

“He won't be angry if you don't open your mouth. Come on, let's find him!”

"Miss won't enter Lingxiang's pavilion just yet? Who knows Miss Mo knows something."

"No. The mad woman's healer wouldn't be interested in such a place."

Prince Qin's wife then walked down the city again. Sometimes he greets and smiles at people who happen to know him. He also bought some goods, but a while ago he himself said that his purchase was enough. Tan’er was burdened with various types of packs on his right and left hands. Women cannot uphold the principle of spending. His tongue said enough, his heart and mind said another.***
