Chapter 505: Chapter 265 Revenge_1

Five days later, Qian Sangui was able to sit up. His complexion was ashen, his cheeks had sunken in again, and the little bit of weight he had managed to gain was gone.

He mustered his strength to discuss with Qian Yixiu the matters of traveling to the Capital City. Which servants to bring, which items to carry, and whom to entrust with the management of Guiyuan for peace of mind...

"I’m just going to the Capital City for a visit, I don’t wish to stay there long. I still want to return to Guiyuan and live a peaceful life," Qian Sangui said weakly.

Qian Yixiu pouted and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "I can’t bear to be apart from you, Grandfather. If you return to Guiyuan, I’ll come back with you."

Qian Sangui looked at her and sighed with reluctance, "My little girl has grown up, and one day she will have to marry into her husband’s family. Can she always stay with me?"

Qian Yixiu acted coquettishly, "Then my future home will be next to Grandfather’s so that I can visit every day and massage your back." As she spoke, she balled up her tiny fists and began to gently pound Qian Sangui’s shoulders.

Qian Sangui began to laugh and repeatedly said, "Good, good. When I want to return to Guiyuan, Yixiu will accompany me to stay for a while. Then, I will follow Yixiu back to the Capital."

Qian Yixiu laughed and replied, "Agreed, it’s a promise."

For the first time in many days, the grandfather and granddaughter laughed out loud together.

They decided that in the future, Li Jinhu would be in charge of Guiyuan, Su Ming would manage Moonlit Lotus Pond and the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, and Cai He would manage Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop in Xishan County. Old man Cai would take care of the estate in the Capital City, while Qian Hua would manage the Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop there. Huang Hua and the others would be taken to the Capital, and later they would buy fields and lands in the suburbs, plant Golden Lotus roots, and see if they could graft Golden honey peaches...

All the valuable items would be taken to the Capital City because it was very likely that the Qian Family might settle there for a long time. Even if Qian Sangui and his wife could not get accustomed to the Capital City and came back, Qian Manjiang and his children would continue to live there.

After finishing their discussions, Qian Sangui was so exhausted that he broke out in cold sweat and hurried to lie down to rest.

Once Qian Yixiu left the main house, she went to the west wing to visit Old Lady Qian. The old woman was still unable to get out of bed, her speech was slurred, and she needed assistance with eating, drinking, and personal care. Now they had brought in Auntie Lu to mainly take care of her, while Lady Wang, Lady Wong, Lady Xiao Wong, and Li Ahcao took turns to come and look after her every day. Members from the main house and second house also came over frequently to check in.

Zhang Yang visited every few days to take her pulse and prescribe medicine.

Qian Yixiu talked to Old Lady Qian for a while and comforted her before returning to Wangjiang Building.

Before she could enter the building, she heard giggles coming from a second-floor window of Wangjiang Building, which lifted Qian Yixiu’s spirits a bit.

The Little Monk had come to visit; he was the most welcomed guest at Guiyuan. These days, he had been staying at Linfeng Garden, consoling Dashan at night and Cheng Yue during the day. Although Qian Yixiu could not guess who the Little Monk’s father was, she was one hundred percent sure that his surname was Zhu and that he was the Emperor’s grandson, because he looked very much like Zhu Sujin. Besides, the special treatment he received in the monastery was something only the Royal Family could enjoy.

Having him to keep Cheng Yue company lightened her mood a bit.

Over the following month, the Little Monk didn’t return to the monastery but stayed in Guiyuan keeping Cheng Yue company, allowing Qian Yixiu more energy to busily attend to other matters.

With Master Sangui’s health failing, Lady Wu and Qian Manxia didn’t understand many matters, so now it was Qian Yixiu and Old man Cai who were taking care of Guiyuan’s various affairs.

Before long, it was mid-June. Golden Lotus flowers were blooming brilliantly, Golden honey peaches were selling well, and the weather was unbearably hot.

That day, as Qian Yixiu was about to go to the front courtyard, Monkey Brother came to find her, pointing towards the winding mountains, implying that it wanted to go into the mountains. In about ten days or so, the Fierce Red Monkey would be returning from Cave Sky Pool to their original territory.

"Are you going to look for the Monkey King?" Qian Yixiu asked.

The Monkey Brother nodded solemnly.

"Have you mastered your skills? Can you use a dagger now?" Qian Yixiu continued to ask.

Ever since Monkey Brother began learning skills from Wan Dazhong, Qian Yixiu had taken out the dagger given to her by Old Duke Liang and instructed it, "Work hard, you need to not only master martial arts but also learn to use this dagger. Then, you will not only be a spirit of the mountains but also its great king."

After that, Qian Yixiu hung the dagger on its waistband. The family had made a bull tendon belt for it to hang pouches on, to better hold its things.

Upon hearing Qian Yixiu’s words, Monkey Brother first assumed a martial arts stance before practicing a series of punches and kicks. Indeed, these were the moves taught by Wan Dazhong, but the Monkey Brother jumped higher and the whooshing sound of the wind it created seemed more powerful than Wan’s. It then drew the dagger and wielded it in a circle, eventually flinging the dagger at a large tree some dozens of meters away. A branch as thick as the mouth of a bowl was cleanly sliced off by the dagger and fell to the ground.

It ran over, picked up the dagger, and slipped it back into its waist, then ran back and looked at Qian Yixiu, as if to ask, "How did I do?"

Qian Yixiu was thrilled, clapping vigorously. She sincerely exclaimed, "Very good, Monkey Brother, you are the best."

Monkey Brother grinned and then pointed at the mountains with its finger and let out a few long howls.

Qian Yixiu knew that it had been bottling up a strong desire over the past six months to go into the mountains and seek revenge on the Fierce Red Monkey. In her heart, she was extremely reluctant to let it take such a risk. But considering Monkey Brother’s hatred for the Monkey King, if she forcibly stopped it from going, it could be more troublesome if it sneaked away.

Now that Monkey Brother’s martial arts skills had greatly improved, coupled with its exceptional inherent abilities, it probably had no natural enemies left in the forest when it came to one-on-one fights. Furthermore, having grown up among humans, it was much craftier than wild beasts, so its chances of winning this endeavor should exceed ninety percent.

Gazing at it, Qian Yixiu spoke slowly, "Look into my eyes, and remember every single word I say. You must be extremely careful on this trip, you can no longer act rashly. Under no circumstances should you go to the Fierce Red Monkey’s stronghold. It would be best to strike when the Monkey King is alone or accompanied by very few monkeys, killing the Monkey King without letting any other monkeys that know of your deed to survive. Remember, only the Monkey King is your enemy; once you have killed it, hurry back and do not provoke other monkeys, you absolutely cannot incur their collective wrath. If you really can’t find a good opportunity, then return; revenge can wait for a gentleman, even ten years is not too late. You are responsible for yourself, and also for Monkey Sister and Shan Dian’s lives."

Qian Yixiu spoke very slowly, looking at Monkey Brother after each sentence and waiting for it to nod before continuing. After she had finished, Monkey Brother nodded emphatically and hooted several times, signaling that it understood.

The night that Monkey Brother, accompanied by Monkey Sister and Shan Dian, set out, Dashan and White Wolf also unexpectedly joined them on their journey to avenge Benben.

After seeing off the House of Animals, Guiyuan became even quieter.

As Qian Yixiu kept herself busy with sorting things out and delegating tasks, she was counting the days, hoping for the safe return of the House of Animals, for her Young Dad to come back soon, and for news from Zhu Sujin.

On a late afternoon at the end of June, suddenly three men on horseback rushed through Huaxi Village towards Guiyuan at full speed.

They had come from Capital City. Traveling by horse was much faster than by carriage or boat, but only if riders changed horses without resting too much. In that case, horseback could indeed be much faster.

Old man Cai opened the door, listened to what the men said, and ran smiling towards the main courtyard, shouting loudly, "Master, Mistress, Old Lady, Lady Manxia, Master Jinxiu has sent a message, Master Jinxiu is coming to fetch you, the Master has been promoted again, the Master is coming back soon..."

His loud calls immediately lively awakened the quiet Guiyuan.

Master Sangui was helped up by Lady Wu, Old Lady Qian also opened her eyes and started to shout "ah, ah", Cheng Yue and the Little Monk arrived at the main courtyard with Ming Wa and Jingjing, and Qian Manxia followed them, holding one child and leading another. Qian Yixiu, who was at the back of the house managing affairs, heard from a Servant and hurried toward the main courtyard as well.

PS: Many readers said today’s Chapter was too poignant, so Qing Quan took the time to write an extra update. Although it hasn’t reached the joyous reunion yet, it should make for a better transition and hopefully make everyone feel a bit better.
