BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136: There are So Many Things I Have Missed
136 There are So Many Things I Have Missed
The medicine Ming Hui prescribed for her turned out to be very effective. Jun Hua had to admit that that girly man is indeed a skillful doctor. Originally, she could call a doctor by herself, but she didn\'t think that it would be this bad, so she hadn\'t thought about it by herself.
She glanced to her servant, "Does Grandfather still busy?"
"Old Master is still doing his work in his work room," Xiao Yun answered politely. She already learned to behave herself better during the time Jun Hua was away to the battlefield. Now she could serve Jun Hua far better compare with the past.
Jun Hua wonders what her grandfather had that occupied his mind so much. It can\'t be that the change of their status made him incredibly busy to the point that he can\'t get out from his room, right? As for what kind of work he had, she doesn\'t want to interfere. For someone who didn\'t have much knowledge in politics, it would be better if she stays out of the way.
Since her condition had improved, it would be a waste if she keeps holed up in her room. Jun Hua move her feet to the garden to enjoy the view. The sun is not as scorching as when it was afternoon, so Jun Hua feels rather comfortable when basking her face under the sunlight.
"Xia, have you ever found yourself in a dilemma about choosing things?" Jun Hua asks.
Xia tilted her head in confusion, "No, Miss\'s wish is my wish and I would follow them without question."
Ever since she is small, she was trained to become a servant. Her family was poor and she could only live on if she becomes a servant, so her parents sell her to the Jun Family when she is still a kid. After that, she only knows that she had to follow her Miss order and knows how to notice even the slightest clue of things.
Jun Hua smiled and sighed, "How enviable. Your path has been chosen ever since the past and you didn\'t have to think much about things."
"Miss…?" Xia found Jun Hua\'s word to be strange. Why should her life be enviable for someone like Jun Hua? Although she did found her live to be full of excitement, it was because she follows after Jun Hua and serve her Miss as best as she could.
"No, nothing," Jun Hua feels that she is being ridiculous today. Maybe it\'s because her best friend mentioned about dying that she thinks about her life again. Did she feel satisfaction in her current life?
It would be a lie if she said that she didn\'t feel happy. Even if there are many things that didn\'t go according to her plan or people making her feeling angry at them, she found everything to be so precious to her. This is her life and path she had chosen, why should she feel dissatisfied with it?
Even if in the end she has a miserable life because her plan failed, not that she won\'t work hard to make it work, she knows that she had tried her best. It just means that she is not fated to end that way and she can\'t hinder her opponent to take her down. When her thought come to this, her gaze turned cold for she won\'t let those people go without making them pay for what they had done towards the Jun Family.
"Let\'s return back. The night wind won\'t be good for me," Jun Hua didn\'t really mind the wind, but today her condition is special, so she pays extra caution. She smiles bitterly to herself because this is the first time she had to pay close attention to her body. With her high martial art, usually, she doesn\'t have much trouble to conduct herself and others.
When she arrives back to the hall, she notices that her grandfather already comes out from his room. The old man looks satisfied and he stares at his granddaughter with inquiring eyes.
"Did those two girls have returned? I hadn\'t got the chance to greet them," He said in disappointed tone.
Jun Hua nods her head, "Ming Hui and Fan Lanying have returned first. You should also rest, Grandpa. Working too much is not good at your age."
"If I\'m not work, who\'s going to work?" Jun Zhenxian laughed, "This old bone still can work pretty well. If anything, do you have any thought about attending the academy again? They send a letter to me mentioning it this morning."
Jun Hua mind blanked for a moment. She had skipped the academy because of the war and didn\'t give any other notice to them aside from the fact that she didn\'t come to the academy anymore. Because the war was over and she had returned to the Jun Family residence, they ask again about whether she is going to return or not.
If she didn\'t say that she is feeling conflicted, she would be lying. She obviously missed the academy and learns with Fan Lanying things that women had to know. However, even if she comes back to the academy and started learning anymore, she doubts they are going to be of use. She is already 15 and by the law, she should be married in a few months. Even if she still doesn\'t have anyone to tie the knot yet, the offers are numerous.
Should she go to the academy again, she would need to stay in the capital for a longer term, something she knows would be impossible. After all, she knows very well that the longer she holds their plan back, the bigger the chance for the emperor to find out about their plan.
"No, I won\'t be going to the academy anymore," Jun Hua answered.
Jun Zhenxian inspected his granddaughter expression, "You know that you can learn there if you want. After all, you have missed your chance to learn them when you\'re young."
"I know," Jun Hua was the one choosing this option in the first place. She never wanted to become a noble lady but a general, which is why she didn\'t learn them in the first place, "There are so many things I have missed and I don\'t have the time to learn them anymore."
"You\'re still young, Hua\'er."
"I\'m already of marriageable age, Grandpa. And I don\'t think we can stay here any longer if we want our plan to be successful," Jun Hua put a wry smile, "Let them continue to think that I\'m just a useless lady. There is no need for me to return to the academy anymore at this point."
"I understand. How about a tutor like before?"
Jun Hua shakes her head, "No thank you Grandpa."
Jun Zhenxian accepts Jun Hua\'s request and put the letter on the side. Since they have decided to move to Mountain Kingdom, they have been moving their people out from other areas and build many things in their territory. The longer they delay, the more plausible the emperor would be suspicious should someone says a word to them.
"Have you cleaned up the spies?"
"I have. The only one left would be those from Lan Family, they are as annoying as bugs," Jun Hua answered.
Jun Zhenxian face changed, "What if they told the emperor about the movement in Jun Family\'s territory?"
"They won\'t," Jun Hua says, "They don\'t know that much because I\'m keeping them on check, but it would be bad if we delay too long."
"I see. Before that, do you mind telling me your real plan, you brat?"
Jun Hua put a mischievous smile, "It won\'t be fun if you know, Grandpa. Let me keep them a secret for now."
"You brat!" Jun Zhenxian chided, but he accepted it and ruffled his granddaughter\'s hair. In a few days it would be the imperial party. He hopes that his granddaughter won\'t try anything ridiculous there, though his hope might be in vain.
