Chapter 61: The Night Beneath The Raven Moon

In the Wo Long Temple in the mountains, it was the time in the evening when the skies were getting dark and a light drizzle fell. The rain came with a chill wind, thus Gu Yu closed the window before saying to Shen Miao, "Young Lady must be cautious and not catch a cold."

Jing Zhe wrapped Shen Miao with a cloak and spoke worriedly, "The mountain roads are not easy to walk. If the rain falls for the entire night, not sure if one could leave after tomorrow morning prayers. One may need to stay one more day else the road would be muddy."

"One more day to rest then one will rest one more day." Gu Yu smiled, "The scenery of this place is very good and the environment is also quiet and secluded. It is still better than..." She swallowed the rest of the words back to her stomach as she wanted to say that it was better when comparing to those snakes in the Shen residence.

Shen Miao sat at the table moving the chess pieces. The current her now loves to play chess but unfortunately the few girls by her side did not know how to play, she had to play by herself. Occasionally Gu Yu and Jing Zhe would feel strange when their Young Lady played by herself, as there would be times when she portrayed some odd expressions which would make one's heart cold.

The doors were pushed open and Gui Momo came in with smiles on her face. In her hands carried some food, she smiled while saying, "Young Lady, this is the vegetarian cuisine of the temple. Even though it is vegetarian, Wo Long Temple's cuisine is rather good. This old servant specially requested for a bowl of crystal Osmanthus broth. Eldest Young Lady and Second Young Lady had already tried it and said that it was good."

"Oh. Place it there." Shen Miao said plainly.

"It would be best that Young Lady eat it while it is still hot. It would not be delicious if it cools down." Gui Momo warmly brought the bowl over to hand it over to Shen Miao.

"Why is Momo anxious?" Jing Zhe took the porcelain bowl smoothly from Gui Momo and smiled, "Young Lady had said to place it down. Just now she felt some discomfort and would take it after a while."

Gui Momo felt annoyed in her heart but when she saw Shen Miao being indifferent to Jing Zhe's words, she could only clench her teeth. Previously Shen Miao would always treat Gui Momo's words as the most important and if Gui Momo had some dispute with the maids, she would definitely punish the maids first. She did not know from when onwards Jing Zhe, Gu Yu and those two girls were appreciated by Shen Miao.

Just as she was contemplating, she heard Shen Miao suddenly said, "Momo has already accompanied me for fourteen years."

Gui Momo's heart jumped a beat as she looked at Shen Miao. Just at the same time, Shen Miao also looked over. A pair of clear eyes that had a childlike innocence which also put Gui Momo in a trance.

Without one noticing, that baby that was crying piteously for food had become little girl and grew up to a gracefully slim young female in front of her. Gui Momo's heart sighed, in the beginning when Shen Xin and his wife left for the battlefield, they requested her to take good care of Shen Miao and in a blink of an eye, fourteen years had passed.

"Momo all the while is close to me." Shen Miao said softly, "One remembered there was a time where I was running a fever and it was raining outside, like it is now. The physician that the residence invited did not arrive for a long time, so Momo got worried and ran out to search for one. At the end, Momo slipped and broke your head but still instead to search for another physician to come over."

Gui Momo was surprised and her expressions could not help but soften down, "Young Lady still remember these things."

"Naturally one would remember. Momo has been with me for more than a decade and even Father and Mother would not have accompanied me more than Momo. I see Momo as a loved one."
