Chapter Forty-Seven: Cleaning the Lotus Pond

  Shuang'er listened without speaking, only gazing out the window. She then pursed her lips and said: "Miss, I won't be able to help you with this. If you can think of another way, that would be good. But if it's still this plan, I'm afraid I won't be able to obey! The night is too dark, Miss should go to sleep instead. I'll take my leave!"

  Han Caiwei nodded, and after Shuang'er lifted the curtain to leave, she picked up the medical book again and read for a while. She glanced at the water clock on the table and saw that it was already late. She got up to blow out the candles and went to sleep, but although she was very sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning on the bed. In fact, she also felt that the method was too bloody and dangerous, and there were too many places that needed coordination, and too many places that could not be controlled. It would be better to think of another method.

  After much deliberation, she suddenly thought of another plan. This method was extremely good, not bloody at all and very easy to succeed. Moreover, it could smoothly abduct the young beauty. It was truly an excellent plan! She got excited and immediately jumped out of bed, lifted the curtain and went out to find Shuang'er. As expected, Shuang'er agreed after listening, so the escape plan was set. Han Caiwei then slept with a satisfied heart.

  On the second day, early in the morning, someone came to the Wang's residence and said that the princess wanted to see Han's personal maid. The person who came was very tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything. Han Caiwei didn't ask much either, she just let Shuang'er go, only reminding her to be careful with her words.

  After Shuang'er left, only Chunhua and Xiaohua were serving Han Caiwei. Han Caiwei thought they were Ji Zhaoxi's confidants, so she was too lazy to bother with them, just eating, sleeping, and strolling as usual, doing exercises that no one could understand, but the lotus pond was getting more and more smelly, and she walked around it every day.

  After noon, the sun was gone, and Han Caiwei moved a chair out to sit under the corridor to continue studying medical books. Xia Hua brought over a thin blanket and said in a low voice, "Master, it looks like the wind is picking up, why don't you cover yourself with this to block the wind? Or, Master can go inside to read?"

  Han Caiwei didn't even lift an eyebrow: "I'm not that weak, am I? A little wind blows and I'll be sickly? Take it away, take it away——Ah-choo——" She hadn't even finished speaking when she let out a loud sneeze. This was truly a case of self-inflicted embarrassment. Han Caiwei herself was mortified, but Xia Hua seemed to have not heard anything.

  Han Caiwei hesitated for a moment before pursing her lips and saying, "Thank you."

  Xia Hua didn't make a sound, but her eyes were filled with an extremely gentle smile.

  A gentle breeze blew, and Han Caiwei was about to continue reading her medical book. She glanced up and happened to see Qiu Hua hurrying towards her. When she arrived in front of her, she was still panting. Han Caiwei closed her book, pursed her lips and said, "Don't rush, catch your breath first before speaking."

  "Master, I just went to make tea for you, and when I came out, I saw many workers carrying flowers, stones, tools and other things coming in. I asked the person in charge, and it's said that they are going to move the lotus pond in our courtyard." Qiu Hua caught her breath and then quickly told Han Caiwei what she had seen and heard.

  Han Caiwei frowned: "Move the Lotus Pond? What's the point of doing this?"

  Just as Qiu Hua was about to respond, the manager of the other courtyard came in with a dozen or so workers. Seeing Han Caiwei sitting there, he hurried over to pay his respects and speak: "Master, this matter has come up suddenly, I also just received the news and rushed over to tell you, those workers are all here to clean up the lotus pond, Master should move into the house to avoid it! The smell is probably not very good!"

  Han Caiwei stood up, furrowed her brow and asked: "What's going on? Why suddenly want to move this lotus pond?"

  That busybody smiled: "Has Autumn not had time to tell the master yet? It's news from the Wang Manor, the master himself issued an order, letting the manager of the manor find someone to clean up the lotus pond in the other courtyard. The master said that the smell is not good and wants to make the master live more comfortably! - What I'm saying is all personally instructed by the master, I don't dare to deceive the master!"

  Han Caiwei listened with her eyes downcast, and that day she only said one sentence about the Lotus Pond being smelly. She didn't think he would remember it in his heart, and even take it as a task to do, sending people to clean it up so quickly.
