[Quick Transmigration] Where is the Morality Chapter 26 (Part 1)
Qiangtou Spring Chapter 26 (Part 1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
It was the coldest time of the year. The cold wind and snowflakes whizzed past. The sky was dark. It was already evening and every family had closed their doors to keep warm in the house.
Xia Ruyan and two maids were eating a pot around the stove. The boiled big bone soup was cooked with special base ingredients boiling hot. The thinly sliced meat slices were put aside and they were in the bowl wrapped in a circle of seasoning. The taste was fragrant and extremely delicious.
In the blink of an eye, she had been in An City for more than a month. No one here knew her and there was no restriction. Xia Ruyan had a very happy life after she came. She lived as her heart desired, so the two maids were no longer as restrained as they were in the past. Anyway, she could only talk to the two of them, so just be casual.
She told Chun Mei and Xia He the reason for coming to An City was because she was always unhappy, so Xie Fangcheng let her go out of the house. He sympathized with her and sent her to this courtyard. The two maids naturally cried and felt sorry for their master again, but after spending some time here, they felt like the days in this courtyard seemed more comfortable, and soon accepted this fact.
The house was warm like spring, but it was windy and snowy outside. At this time, a fast horse galloped, and the mud and snow flew as the horse’s hooves passed. The person riding on the horse was tall, wearing a big fur cloak, and had a handsome face. His expression was very urgent. When arrived at the door of the courtyard where Xia Ruyan stayed, the visitor pulled the reins. He rolled over, got off his horse, and knocked on the door of the courtyard.
The doorman, old Tiantou, was having dinner with his wife in the gatehouse. Hearing the knock on the door, he felt a little unhappy. He opened the door slowly and said in a bad tone: “Who—”
His voice stopped abruptly. Old Tiantou swallowed his saliva and stammeringly said: “Y-y-y-young duke?”
Xie Rong handed the horse reins to him and walked inside without saying a word. Old Tiantou didn’t dare to stop him, so he hurriedly called his wife to let her inform the house that the young duke came, then he led the horse to the stable.
Xie Rong walked into the small courtyard where Xia Ruyan lived and raised his hand to stop other servants who were about to greet him. When he reached the door outside the room, he stopped.
Looking at the light coming out of the door, and vaguely hearing the laughter inside, the gap in his heart was instantly filled with Xia Ruyan’s soft and sweet voice. He clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door lightly a few times.
“Who is it?” Chun Mei came over and opened the door. She was startled when she saw the person at the door. “Y-young duke?”
Xia Ruyan was chatting happily, but when she heard these two words, the expression on her face suddenly solidified. She looked up to the door and a face that was so familiar she couldn’t be more familiar suddenly appeared in her sight.
Xie Rong’s gaze crossed Chun Mei and fixed on Xia Ruyan's face. He greedily looked at the person sitting in the room and did not want to look away for a moment. Chun Mei had already recovered at this time and quickly moved to the side. He paused for a moment and walked in slowly.
Xia Ruyan was a little dazed. She didn’t expect Xie Rong to be here at this time. It had been more than a month. She thought Xie Rong had already accepted the fact that she left, but why did he suddenly come here after so many days?
Her thoughts were a little confused for a moment and she said: “Have you eaten?”
Xie Rong was stunned and replied as if possessed: “Not yet.”
“...”
The two were silent. Xia He quickly gave up her spot when she saw this situation. She took a pair of clean chopsticks and a bowl to the table, and respectfully said: “Young duke, please use this.”
Then Xia He remembered this was the pot they had also eaten and was about to say something again, Xie Rong had already untied the cloak and sat down. Xia He didn’t dare to say anymore at this time. Taking over the big cloak, she and Chun Mei left the room.
Xia Ruyan opened her mouth to stop them, but she didn’t say anything after all. She turned her eyes back and saw Xie Rong staring at her scorchingly with unspeakable greed and desire. Xia Ruyan was startled and instinctively shrank back. Xie Rong came back to his senses, suppressing the impulse in his heart, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and ate in silence.
Xia Ruyan didn’t know how she had developed to the point where she and Xie Rong had eaten the pot together, but she hadn’t eaten enough yet, so she simply put aside her complicated thoughts and started eating.
The room was warmed by the brazier. The little girl’s face was reddish and her eyes were moist. Her small mouth was eating hot meat and vegetables bite by bite. Xie Rong couldn’t help but look at her as he held the bowl.
Wonder what his plan is in all of this? Cause she's still married to his dad
