Gu Lang’s eyes brightened, as he was readying to extend his hand to study it more intricately, Juan Shu swiftly retracted it, w.a.n.g Yun Feng drank the tea: “Lord Gu…”

Gu Lang shook his empty claws: “He he, there is indeed a Lady Xia in the residence.”

w.a.n.g Yun Feng nodded his head: “Please take the trouble to ask her to come out.”

Gu Lang hesitated.

w.a.n.g Yun Feng placed the teacup down: “It’s not convenient?”

Juan Shu unrolled and rolled the painting back up again, Gu Lang: “Convenient, of course it’s convenient.” It was just a glance nothing more, moreover it was in Gu residence, even if 

w.a.n.g Yun Feng had the ability he couldn’t do anything to him, besides, his att.i.tude appeared to be looking for trouble with Xia Ling Mei.

Gu Lang did not have the grand idea of being made a scapegoat for someone, allowing him to see Xia Ling Mei once, he would obtain a piece of genuine ancient painting, what can he have against it.

When a maid arrived at the small courtyard Xia Ling Mei lived, just at that time she came across they the mistress and servants training the pet.

The Eurasian Hobby called Fei Dao stood on the ground, in front of it were several railings, each one higher than the other, finally there was a metal railing, a tarpaulin was wrapped on top of it, lit on fire it popped as it burned, on the head of the metal railing was a wicker basket with a little sparrows trapped inside.

Maybe because the flame was too large, the little sparrows incessantly chirped, some flapped their wings wanting to fly out, others were already terrified by the extraordinary mighty Eurasian Hobby opposite them, some immediately threw themselves onto the ground pretending to be dead wanting to escape from calamity.

Fei Dao pulled its shoulders in feeling he had been wronged, occasionally looking at the 

alive food at a distance swallowing his saliva, now and then gloomily staring at the burning railings sighing in despair.

Xia Ling Mei sat on a rocking chair, rocking back and forth, watching the banister burn even greater, extending her coral whip to prod Fei Dao’s fat bottom: “Jump.”

Fei Dao felt wronged, looking at its own master he called out twice.

Xia Ling Mei snorted: “Letting you search for your own wild food, making you so fat that you can’t even fly.” She flicked her whip over, just brus.h.i.+ng past Fei Dao’s wings, scaring Fei 

Dao to spread its wings bouncing and hoping on the spot but unable to flutter up.

The maid moved closer to Xiu Yu’s side, quietly asking: “What is Lady Xia doing?”

Xiu Yu glanced at her: “Losing weight.”

“Ah?”

“In the short s.p.a.ce of three months Fei Dao had gained five pounds. Lady Xia is afraid it is too fat to find a good marriage, right now she’s occupied making it lose weight.”

The maid was puzzled: “That bird also has to marry?”

Xiu Yu looked at her in distain: “You need to marry too, why can’t it marry. Our Fei Dao is known for its beauty in the Eurasian Hobby specie.” She turned to look at the other person, asking: “Did you need something from the lady?”

The maid hurriedly explained why she came. Xiu Yu asked for the name of the one visiting. 

The maid shook her head; Xiu Yu once again asked the reason for the person to visit, the made again shook her head; Xiu Yu asked: “What do you know?”

The maid innocently blinked her eyes: “I only know my master asked for Lady Xia to greet the guest.”

Xiu Yu was itching to use Fei Dao to kill her.

Does Lord Gu think her lady is a maid, for him to order her about. Also greeting guests, what young lady from any family would go and casually meet a stranger. Even if her lady had walked the path of the Jianghu, most of the time she wore a veiled hat, sat inside a carriage, at most when they reach the mountains she would travel on horseback. This Gu family really didn’t understand formalities, maybe they never respected her lady from the beginning.

Xiu Yu suppressed her discontent, she moved closed to Xia Ling Mei’s side, as expected, 

Xia Ling Mei was not willing to meet a stranger. The maid deflated, thinking this Xia Ling Mei was really arrogant, but it was this mighty arrogance which the old lady did not like. The old lady didn’t like, so the maids naturally also didn’t waste much thought on it, gladly and diligently returning to reply.

Not long after, another older female servant came to invite Xia Ling Mei, only saying an officer wanted to see her.

Xia Ling Mei was already standing brandis.h.i.+ng her whip forcing Fei Dao to practice jumping, feeding a bean for every railing jumped over, whipping if it doesn’t jump over. For the happiness of being fully fed and the painful struggle in h.e.l.l, jumping over a railing it would cry out mournfully, Xia Ling Mei shook her whip threateningly, Fei Dao could only continue the weight loss plan with a smile on its face.

The older female servant was shocked by Xia Ling Mei’s whip, all her organs wanted to leap out, her eyes rolled to the top of her head, telling her that she ought to understand to act in an appropriate behaviour when living under another person’s roof: “Lady you live in our Lord’s residence, whatever the master says even if the lady has complaints you should still listen to him, carry it out sincerely. Respect the Gu family, the Gu family will think of your wellbeing, allowing you to live so comfortably at ease.” As a servant who has served the old lady for many years, they really couldn’t bear rude and unreasonable vixens showing off, just because she saved Lord Gu’s life she could abuse her powerful connections in the residence. It was fine normally, now Lord Gu wanted her to greet a guest but unexpectedly still needed to coax and plead, what morals.

Seemingly this was the first time Xia Ling Mei saw the unreasonable treatment of Gu family towards her, naturally, it could have happened many times before, but were shouldered by her own two maids.

She lightly laughed twice, educated from childhood she would never bicker with a servant, let alone argue.

She only indicated to Xiu Yu: “Go and take a look.” As she spoke, she took a bean throwing it at Fei Dao’s head who was taking the opportunity to laze off. “Don’t stop, fat bird.”

Xiu Yu had been gone for around a cup of teas time, when she left she was on her own, when she came back unexpectedly there were three people. Leading the way was Gu Lang, why does the man in the middle of them look so familiar, it actually was…

“w.a.n.g Yun Feng!” Xia Ling Mei stared at him with wide eyes.

Fei Dao standing not too far away appeared to have been poked with a pin, suddenly screeching, spreading its fat wings, continuously sprinting for five, six zhang[1] before being able to fly, pouncing in w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s direction.
