Chapter t.i.tle: A Journey into the Unknown (2)

Chapter no. 29

(Qin Zetian's POV)

Han Yuomei a.s.sisted me with bathing Weishen, and for that very moment even Han Wan went in a cold shock when we saw the bruises all over Weishen's little body. Everything was just blue and red. Her white skin was tainted with dark marks. And her nails were even broken. How can someone treat a child like an animal ready to get beaten severely?

"Han Wan go ask someone reliable to investigate the happenings in my uncle's absence, I want to personally execute the person who did this and tell no one about it." If she was maltreated by everyone, well then I have no problem with emptying a household.

"Yes young miss" Han Wan left urgently

We dressed her and I treated her wounds. Not long enough she fell asleep as I was reading a book to her. I kissed her forehead and arranged the blanket that covers her little body. Somehow, I missed my mom doing this to me. Taking care of me when I get wounded from running or read books before I sleep. It was late in the afternoon when I left my room, and let the child sleep peacefully.

"Han Yuomei do not let anyone enter my room as usual and take care of guarding her, I need to go to the next room and check on something"

"Yes, young miss"

"Aware me if she awakens"

Han Yuomei nodded, so I immediately went to Weishen's room. The servants there were teary eyed.

"What happened here?" I asked

"Young miss... I know I am not in position to speak, but look at how bad the 4th young miss' clothes are"

I retrieved the clothes from them, it truly is that bad. Everything looks like tattered rags. How can her things become this bad? My uncle served the military for too long and his salary is even comparable to my dad's salary. It's truly impossible that he did not give this little girl what she wanted. So where did all of my uncle's money went?

"Arrange everything in order and nothing should be missing, things no matter how worn out should have a different level of sentimental value so keep everything. Her clothes cannot be used again so fold and pile them neatly on the wardrobe"

I continued checking her things then I saw a precious type of jade. A type of greenish gemstone carved into the finest type of identification jade. I need to investigate about this, for the meantime I will let her use two types of jade on her body, the Qin family's jade which every member should have and this jade on my hand, it should protect her no matter what.

From her room I also retrieved a type of jade necklace that matches her ident.i.ty jade. I carried them with me, I will never let her roam around without these items.

"Young miss, the fourth young miss has awoken"

I stood and went back to my room. Then I saw her sitting on my bed while rubbing her eyes gently. A little yawn escaped from her mouth.

"Han Yuomei prepare a set of clothes for her, we are going to a dress shop. I will buy her new dresses"

Han Yuomei handed me a white dress. Then I turned to Weishen and a.s.sisted her to change. Yuomei also braided her hair nicely.

"Shen'er listen to big sister, do you see these things?"

The child nodded.

"This jade necklace no matter how beautiful and precious this is, never remove this from your body and even when you're taking a bath just keep it close to you. I have to let you wear two jade ident.i.ties, this one is yours while this one is the Qin's n.o.ble ident.i.ty jade similar to mine and the rest of the members of the family. You will carry these items all the time, these ident.i.ty jade carvings will protect you. Do you understand?"

"Yes, big sister"

Then I hugged the girl.
