Chapter 147 (Part 1) ~ Rumors Destroy the Reputation

The inner room was quiet. Everyone was afraid to make a loud noise. They feared that it will be noisy and disturb Mother Xie's rest.

Yun Qian Meng slowly walked in after the little girl opened the curtain, her feet were on the thick carpet making no sound at all.

The few ladies who were sitting near the table saw Yun Qian Meng, all of them friendly nodded to her, while the Chu Jie and Xie's sisters who were standing by the bed stood up immediately. Yun Qian Meng went to the bed and looked at Mother Xie, who was still in a coma. Then she reached out a hand and gently put her hand on the shoulder of Chu Jie. Her finger pressed her slightly. She whispered, "How is the mother?" "

Chu Jie just shook her head. Her eyes were full of fear and worry. "Her body is no longer hot, but she hasn't woken up yet. Dr. Li is making some medicine in the small kitchen, saying that she has to take it after she wakes up. From the morning till now my mother is still like this. I am really anxious."

"Mother will be fine, sister, you should also take a good rest. Your eyes are getting black circles. I think you did not rest last night." Yun Qian Meng said. She summoned a maid and let her take Chu Jie to a basin of washing water to give her a good wash.

Afterward, Yun Qian Meng turned towards the two sisters of Xie's family. Only Xie Yuan Yuan and Xie Tao were dressed up quite well today. Some of the extreme bruises on their faces were handled properly. She asked, "Are the two cousins feeling ​​better? "

"Thank you for your concern, we are doing fine. We are just worried about our aunt." Xie Tao whispered back. Her eyes had something hidden as looked at Mother Xie.

Yun Qian Meng looked at Xie Tao's eyes along with the eyes of everyone only to see that the bed was stained with blood. Mother Xie's dress was already cleaned but at this time her face was very pale, probably it was due to too much blood loss. Her pale face was faintly black and not the even slight ups and downs on her chest were seen. People would misunderstand if they see her. (They will think that she is dead.)

Looking at this kind of Mother Xie, and remembering what happened last night, Yun Qian Meng's face looked dull, and then turned pale. She looked at the three ladies sitting near the table, smiling lightly, "I have arrived late causing three ladies to wait. Please forgive me."

"Mrs. Chu is polite. We also just arrived. I didn't expect that nowadays bandits are so uncontrolled. They even dared to start a robbery on the official road. It is really scary." Both of them were old ladies. But there were also her daughter-in-law, plus a few young ladies who went to Pu'er with. If they really had encountered something on the road, they were afraid that their faces will be lost, and their reputation will be also destroyed.

The Chu family's helping them was really a huge favor for them. This naturally brought the relationships between the two closer. It was no wonder that Old lady Wen came in person to look at Mother Xie.

"Old lady Wen is worried. We have already sent people to search for clues, I believe that within a few days, we will be able to find those bandits. Others will not encounter this kind of mishap anymore." Yun Qian Meng comforted Old lady Wen. The corner of her eyes were at the sisters of the Xie family. The two of them were bowing their heads. But Xie Tao's left hand was subconsciously stroking the gold bracelet on her right wrist. Her slender and long fingers were gently stroking the golden bell of the bracelet. She was definitely hiding something.

"There are people investigating and searching for clues. This is naturally good. Otherwise, who will dare to leave this city after this? If these bandits are not caught, one fear that it would be very dangerous for others as well." Old lady Wen was very unhappy. She was very worried about Mother Xie. Chu Jie and Xie's sisters were also very worried. 

Yun Qian Meng saw the Old lady Wen was worried so smiled lightly, "Mother Xie is blessed. she will definitely be fine."

"The children in our family are too delicate. They are really not as brave as the Xie sisters. The children who accompanied us are now scared and they are not willing to go out again. Xie sisters are so considerate and careful. It is so touching that they stayed beside Mrs. Chu at her bed. After my family heard this, they were also very impressed by Xie sisters." Mrs. Wen slowly opened her mouth. She looked towards Xie Tao and Xie Yuan Yuan and her eyes revealed an appreciation. Then she thought of Chu Chuan, who saved her life. Then she praised, "The two sons of Chu Family are really well raised and are deserving to be called as the grandchildren of Prince Chu. Both of them are stunning and courageous. If not for Chu Chuan, I am afraid that I was already a fate to Huang Quan." (She is afraid that she would already be dead by now.)

Mrs. Wen is now sitting in the Chu wangfu and is safe. But she recalled the tragic incident at that time. How they were nearly killed by those bandits. Her face slightly changed and became a little pale. She was in fear of death.

Hearing the word 'grandchildren', Yun Qian Meng laughed more and more lightly and tilted her head. words of the big lady, "The second brother grew up at his father's side. Naturally, he is courageous and well raised."

Translator's Note:

* Prince Chu is Chu Wang, the head of the Chu Family. Wang/ Prince is a title given to him because of his bravery and his accomplishments. And this title Wang/Prince can be passed to his younger generations. I prefer writing Prince instead of Wang.

* Old Lady Wen is the oldest lady of Wen Family and Mrs. Wen is her daughter-in-law. I thought that you guys might be confused so I explained a little. 

And I am trying to change all the Chinese titles into English titles as far as possible because I know it is a little hard for non-Chinese people to understand them.
