Don't worry, i'll divorce you

A week has passed with nothing crucial happens. TanTan was mostly just resting in her room all day. There was zero visitor for TanTan and she even didn’t see another servants except XiaoRue who being busy running here and there, doing chores. Sometimes when she was at outside the room, TanTan could feel that she was being watched. TanTan didn’t pay attention of all those coz she is focusing to recover her strength. But no smartphone nor television in this era made her felt bore.

When she is already tough enough to walk, she walks around the room, examines all things she can examine. She looks to the wooden antique wardrobe where she can see many silk clothes folded inside, she looks into the drawers of mirror desk and find so many antique jewelry and cosmetics. Next she turns to an antique chest. It is locked but TanTan is guessing the key must be at somewhere with her, and she is right. She found the key inside the pocket that always held on her cloth. Inside, she find a lot of money kept within many more silk clothes and some ancient books. These things describes that HuaMuTan was an extravagant woman. But there is one thing looks different from others. She takes out a girl doll, a quite old doll, seeing from its dull condition. It made from clothes, big possibility from amateur hand-made, coz the sewing is not smooth and tidy. "Its seems a little odd to see HuaMuTan keeping this kind of doll ,is this doll means special for her?"

At that time, XiaoRue comes in to deliver the food. She is a little weird seeing TanTan is checking the chest.

"XiaoCie, are you looking for something. XiaoRue will help you"

"XiaoRue, do you know this?" She show the doll to XiaoRue.

"Ah...its xiaomei,...XiaoCie’s favourite doll, XiaoCie always bring her where ever XiaoCie goes."

"But why? Isn’t it childish...?"

"XiaoCie never leave it because Madam ShuiXian made it for you, XiaoCie"

"Madam ShuiXian?"

"Yes, XiaoCie’s Mom"

XiaoRue feels sad that her XiaoCie’s sickness looks very bad, she is even forgetting about her own mother. XiaoRue then tries to explain about HuaMuTan’s parents as much as she can. TanTan listens to her while the doll on her hand and she sits beside the chest. She is also busy thinking.

’HuaMuTan’s Mom? So this doll is the legacy of her deceased Mom.’ TanTan somehow feels sympathy to this HuaMuTan. According to XiaoRue’s explanation, HuaMuTan’s parents had passed away since she was just 7 years old. Her father, General HuaYiCou, died in a battle. While her mother, Madam ShuiXian, coz of her sadness, jumped to the cliff following her husband death. So despite of her evilness, she was quite a pity girl.

’Seeing her still keeping the doll to remember her Mom, maybe this HuaMutan is not fully evil’ TanTan thought. She put the doll back carefully and close the chest.

At the middle of night, there is a black shadow walks on the roof. He stops at the roof of TanTan’s room. He opens the roof a little bit and blows some smoke into the room, causes TanTan falls a deep sleep. But before he can enter the room, unexpected ManQi appears and fighting the shadow. After some moves, the shadow knows that he can’t defeat ManQi, he uses some powder to distract ManQi so he can escape. ManQi want to chase but he decides that checking the condition of HuaMuTan is more important, beside the powder he breathed a little just now show the effect, he feels a little dizzy. He won’t success to chase the shadow right now. Then he discovers that HuaMutan just fell asleep so he retreats and report it immediately to Prince Li.

After receiving the report, Prince Li instructed ManQi to get a rest, recover his body first. He himself walks to Hua Mu Tan’s room, checking by himself that Hua MuTan is really in a deep sleep.

"Indeed, someone is really coming after her? But this time the killer just put her in asleep and not killing her. Is the killer tonight from the same party or different than the ones who tried to kill her?" He looking at Hua Mu Tan, "You seem having a lot of secrets, HuaMuTan..." then he walks out from the room.

In other place, the black shadow who success escaped from ManQi reported to his master who has waiting on the cliff. The master is wearing a mask that covering almost all his face.

"So do you find the thing?" The Master asks in a cold tone, the black shadow immediately kneels down and bows his head to the ground,

"I...I am sorry Master. The bodyguard, ManQi is too strong to fight. I was almost unsuccessfully escaped from him."

"Useless..." The master approaches the black shadow and then killed him coldly with a sword on the black shadow’s body. Then the master kicks the dead body of the black shadow off from the cliff. "It seems I must be looking it by myself..." he turns back from the cliff and walks away.
