Chapter 243
Not far away, a maidservant was eagerly shouting, “6th Princess! Where have you gone? Stop hiding, this humble servant begs you to please come out!”
Just by listening to her voice, Lin Feilu thought that the maidservant might just cry there and then.
Lin Feilu’s skirt was tugged on a few times as the girl fussed, “Squat down! Squat down! You’re too tall…”
Lin Feilu, “…”
After being in the palace for so long, it was her first time hearing someone said that she was tall…
She squatted down very cooperatively and even crouched low behind the flower with the little baby. The two then looked at each other for a while before the child asked her, “Who are you?”
Lin Feilu said, “I am your elder sister.”
The little girl stared at her round eyes and took some time to process the information. When she finally reacted, she was nodding her head, “Oh~~~” Her child-like voice dragged on for a long time before she shouted happily, “Elder sister!”
Was this how Lin Jingyuan and the others felt when I looked at them?
That’s way too cute!
Lin Feilu took her little hand, “Weiwei, we have been hiding for a while now, let’s go out together.”
The little child was quite temperamental, “Don’t want! Not enough!”
(T/N: The girl is really young, so her sentences are translated in a way that expresses her childlike manner and incomplete grammar. Will gradually ‘improve’ her sentences as she grows up in the story.)
It was only a matter of a few words for Lin Feilu to deal with grumpy and temperamental children. She said, “Next time, come to the Mingyue Palace to find me. I will hide and play with you all day, alright? Elder sister even has a kitten, a puppy and a little bunny in the palace.”
The little girl was convinced as a trail of saliva was now visible as she smiled, “Yay!”
So Lin Feilu took her hand and walked out.
Xiaqing paled with anxiety as she went around looking for the Princess along with a few other palace maids. It was a capital crime to lose sight of a Princess and she would have been punishable by death.
Unexpectedly, the road to her afterlife dimmed as she saw the 5th Princess walking towards her while she was holding the hand of the 6th Princess. She smiled and said to her, “Next time, keep a closer eye on the 6th Princess, alright?”
Xiaqing almost cried as she uttered words of gratitude and bent her body to carry the 6th Princess in her arms.
Lin Wei fidgeted in her arms a bit before she eagerly said, “Elder sister, I’ll come over to see Kitty, Puppy and Bunny!”
Lin Feilu, “Okay!”
Having lived with the children in the palace for a long time, she almost forgot that there was an adult soul living in her.
Using her cuteness as a weapon came naturally to her as well.
After solving the two bosses, Lin Feilu was now a lot more relaxed. In fact, she had thought about killing before. After all, the martial arts drama had the greatest saying— ‘if you don’t eliminate the roots of the weeds, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows’. Death was the safest way to ensure any plans wouldn’t be foiled.
But when she really thought about that step, she found that no matter how she convinced herself, she couldn’t overcome the murderous hurdle in her heart.
She could watch the guard’s suicide and ignore the fate of Yuyin being taken away, but it was still very difficult to initiate the act of murder herself.
Sigh, blame the school’s ideological and moral education for being so successful. I have become a model citizen who abides by the law.
