Chapter 9 Fine time, beautiful scenery

　　When Shu Huan came out of the main wing, there was no one in the yard. It was very quiet.

　　Originally, she wanted to call Huiyun to accompany her for a walk outside of the yard. After she opened her mouth, she decided to forget about it.

　　The less trouble the better.

　　It would be fine if she stood at the main door and look at the outside from there.

　　At this time, the sky was very blue and clear.

　　The wind brought a refres.h.i.+ng smell of gra.s.s.

　　In the distance, it was densely covered with all kinds of flowers and trees. It was luxuriant. She was faintly able to see the flowing water and the stone bridge. And, also those ancient pavilions which were used to relax. They were like from the paintings.

　　A place that would let people be carefree and relaxed.

　　Shu Huan couldn't help herself from sitting on the threshold and looked at the scene in front of her while pondering about her future.

　　The status of women in the ancient times were very low. It's very difficult to show her face in public and do some business to survive. Moreover, she studied the -not so usual profession- in the fine arts. Could she put a bench on street and sketch people's face? The more safe and reliable way was to find a husband and marry him. But even if she could get out of Gu family, she would be holding the name of being divorced. Not to mention that others wouldn't take a fancy on her, she also wouldn't fancy these ancient men with many wives and concubines.

　　A dilemma!

　　Thinking like this, it was as if Gu Xiran was treating her quite well.

　　When they first met, he didn't treat her as a stranger and protected her from everything…

　　Shu Huan's face became slightly hot, but she still slowly shook her head.

　　He already has concubine Yun.

　　Moreover, she also had and obsessive disorder with love and didn't like love in triangles.

　　While she was in deep thought, she suddenly heard behind her, "Second young mistress, why are you sitting on the threshold? I will go inside and bring a chair for you."

　　When she turned, she saw that the one speaking was Huiyun. She couldn't help but smile, "No need, I will only sit for a moment. If you aren't busy, don't be in a hurry to leave. Sit down and talk to me."

　　There were differences between the master and servant. How would Huiyun dare to sit with her? She stood at her side and laughed, "The morning rush is already over. I don't have much to do now."

　　Shu Huan knew that she obeyed the rules. Plus, sitting on the threshold wasn't elegant. So, she didn't force her. She leisurely asked about things related to Gu Xiran and while she was at it, inquire about Gu family.

　　Huiyun thought for a moment before she said, "There is nothing to tell about second young master. He had been ill since an early age. He stayed in bed and rarely went out of the yard."
