I Am This Type of Woman

Ban Hua was lively and playful but everyone knew of her distinct character that she never easily spoke ill of other women. Anyone she disliked, she would just say they were incompatible, further than that would not be casually spoken.

What she said on Shi Feixians face today was likely to be true.

You, dont you speak nonsense. Shi Feixians voice was sharp, Ban Hua, dont force me.

Miss Shi is really interesting. Last year Xie Second Gongzi fell and damaged one of his eyes on the way back from giving you a poetry book. In a few days, rumours started that it was me, this husband-curse, who had harmed him. Ban Hua spread her hands. Xie Qilin and I had broken off for two years, what husband-curse was it, what husband of mine was he. You say, is that logical?

Shi Feixian was so angry that her body trembled, she stiffly said, Nonsense. I dont know anything about whatever poetry book.

Dont you understand that Heaven knows, you know, and Xie Second Gongzi who gave you the book also knows. Ban Hua laughed lightly, Right. Has Xie Second Gongzi told you, the handwritten poetry book he gave you was originally from my Ban family house?

Shi Feixian was stunned, didnt know what to say.

Junzhu, Xie Qilin came out of the forest. He glanced at Shi Feixian, then saluted the Second Prince and Ban Hua, The past is behind, please Junzhu not bring it up again.

What thing are you. Why should my sister listen to you? Ban Heng rolled his eyes, What a big face, three masks cant cover it.

Ban Hua laughed, Today is a great day. A secluded bamboo forest can also be this lively.

Xie Qilin, was your eye ruined because you fell after sending a poetry book to Miss Shi? Jiang Luo was a man, even if he was about to get married but he still didnt want to hear the woman he liked had a dubious relationship with another man.

Xie Qilin arched his hand to Jiang Luo as a salutation, Your Highness, it is time to return to the Palace.

He was not here to argue with Jiang Luo over a woman, he came for a justice for his sister. He looked at Shi Feixian besides Jiang Luo very calmly, as if she had been a stranger.

Whats the rush, its not the auspicious time yet. Jiang Luo said impatiently, Tell me first, did you give Miss Shi a book of poetry?

Shi Feixians eyes at Xie Qilin were pleading, her face pale.

Xie Qilin averted his sight, slowly said, No.

Jiang Luo sighed in relief, turned to Ban Hua, Why are you smearing Miss Shis reputation?

Your Highness, how do I a woman, smear Miss Shis reputation? Ban Hua sighed, You this groom, who is meeting her in a forest, is the one who is smearing her reputation. Miss Shi who is as clean as the bright moon in the sky, yet she is secretly meeting her close friends husband. You say, isnt this the logic?

Shi Feixian gnashed her teeth in hatred at Ban Huas words, but she knew that the more she spoke, the more Ban Hua could gain a handle over herself. She didnt understand how Ban Hua knew about the poetry book, it was something between Xie Qilin and herself only.

Did any of their servants fail to keep their mouth shut?

What Ban Hua said made many people laughed. Correct, the beautiful Miss Shi, who was so outstanding, so rule-abiding, had today been tangling with a man who was about to be married, moreso the bride was her good sister.

Junzhu..

Shut up! Ban Huas smile vanished, mockingly looked at Xie Qilin, I feel sick at the sight of you, dont talk to me.

Xie Qilins lips quavered, but he didnt speak.

As a man, you are not capable. As a son, you are not filial. As a brother, you Ban Hua waved her hand. Forget it, I am lazy to talk to you. Anyway, if my brother ever becomes like you, Id rather kick him out before he becomes an embarrasment outside.

Ban Heng: ?

Sis. Ban Hengs dog legs brought him to Ban Hua, But I have always been good.

Ban Hua patted his head, En, thats why I havent kicked you out yet.

T/N Poor Ban Heng! What does this got to do with the puppy boy.

Xie Qilin was silent for a long time. He bowed deeply to Ban Hua, Junzhu, I am sorry.

He had indeed wronged her, it was the fact.

Today was a strange day for Jiang Luo. Going out for a fresh air, meeting Shi Feixian by coincidence, and things had been going wrong since.

The fact that Xie Qilin did not refute however Ban Hua mocked him made it look like something had really happened. What Ban Hua had said about Miss Shi and Xie Qilin, and Count Chengan. Was it all a lie?

Count Chengan was Ban Huas fiance, she had no need to lie about her future husband.

But Miss Shi said her having feelings towards Count Chengan was just a rumour. She said she had no interest in love, that she lived for arts and nature?

Everything about Ban Hua was unpleasant, but he couldnt stop thinking each time Ban Hua said something. In case . in case it was true?

You Jiang Luo turned to Shi Feixian. He saw tears in her eyes, as if she was holding back from saying something. A knot of irritation suddenly arose in his heart, he told the young eunuch besides him, Fine. Back to the Palace. It was not his fate to marry this woman, so what was the point? And as the precious daughter of a prime ministers house, she was not someone he could take as a concubine either.

Respectfully seeing off Your Highness. Shi Feixian curtseyed, but this time Jiang Luo didnt turn back, he left the bamboo forest just like that.

The play is over, lets go back. Ban Hua said lazily to Shi Feixian, Miss Shi, please take care.

Junzhu, Shi Feixian called out, I dont understand, why do you go against me at every turn?

Ban Hua raised her eyebrows, Lets just say that I am jealous of your beauty.

Pfft!

Someone couldnt help laughing out loud, Shi Feixians face instantly became uglier.

Ban Huas entries had always been grand with a group of followers surrounding her, her exits were also abuzz with the clamouring crowd. After she and the idlers left, the bamboo forest became quiet.

Xie Qilin said to Shi Feixian, Farewell.

Wait. Shi Feixian stopped him, the rims of her eyes were red, Are you the same with them, laughing at me in your heart?

Miss Shi, Xie Qilin stared at the dried bamboo leaves on the ground, he calmly spoke, Zaixiadoes not have any thoughts, please dont misunderstand.

You dont have thoughts but you are also resenting me, right? Shi Feixian couldnt stop herself crying and laughing at the same time. If it wasnt because of me, you and Ban Hua wouldnt have been in such a mess, Xie family and Ban family wouldnt have been enemies. Ban family is small-minded and vengeful, Xie family has encountered so many problems of their making. Everything started from me, I can understand if you blame me.

I can only blame myself. Xie Qilin interrupted Shi Feixian, I was young and nave. The mistakes I made, its too late to amend.

If Miss Shi feels sorry for me, in the future please dont be too close to His Highness the Second Prince. He is now the husband ofzaixias sister.Zaixiahas only this one sister, I cant bear to see her betrayed by her husband and her close friend. Xie Qilin raised his head, Can you do that?

Shi Feixian awkwardly avoided his gaze, In your eyes, am I that kind of person?

Xie Qilin didnt reply, only silence was the reply.

Fine, I understand! Shi Feixian laughed at herself, So you blame me after all.

The wind rose, bamboo leaves bristled with swishing sounds. Xie Qilin stood unmoved as if he had been an emotionless statue.

Xie Qilin, that time you.. did you really love me, did you really not have feelings for Ban Hua? Shi Feixian suddenly asked, You said you dont blame me, but you are resenting me. You kept looking at her, maybe you dont realise it yourself.

Xie Qilins shoulders shook. Touching his silver mask, he said in a plain tone, Miss Shi is free to think any way she likes. Farewell.

Shi Feixian watched the shadow of his back, mockingly laughed at herself.

That year Xie Qilin gave her a portrait of herself standing under a willow tree, she looked like a fairy in it. But she didnt like it at all, because there were large peonies on the rims of the skirt, very beautiful, very flamboyant.

She never wore skirts with large peonies, neither did she like flamboyant or flashy hair styles. The woman on the painting was her, and yet was not her.

Xie Qilin had spoken of love and longing for her, but did he really love her as much as he said?

Talking of love to her while his heart touched by another woman, it was not her fault that she played tricks on him.

Ban Hua this damned woman was as tough as a copper pea. Ban Hua had a lot of flaws, but there was nothing she could do to Ban Hua.

To think that Ban Hua was marrying Count Chengan, the hatred in Shi Feixians heart could not be repressed.

Master. Du Jiu approached Rong Xia who was having wine with other officials, he whispered some words on Rong Xias side.

The smile on Rong Xias face didnt change, he nodded quietly.

Du Jiu cupped his hands to the otherdarens on the table and withdrew.

Rong Xia would formally take up the position of the Minister of Personnel soon after the Second Princes wedding, thus he sat on the table set for the heads of 6 ministries and the 2 prime ministers. Each of these 8 people had their own minds, their different stances, but they were fully harmonious on the surface as if they had never been at odds with each other over political views.

T/N Six Ministries (): Ministries of Personnel, Rites, War, Justice, Works, and Revenue.

When the procession to pick up the bride departed from the Palace, everyone knew the Second Prince did not pick up the bride in person, but noone brought it up in the conversation, they talked about unrelated topics to pass time.

Todays wedding going awry, Shi Chonghai was the happiest of all. For him, the more stupid blunders the Second Prince did, the more secure the Crown Princes position would be. If he could have his way, the Second Prince should not ever return once he left the Palace.

Borrowing this happy occasion, maylaofuask Count Rong when can we drink your wedding wine? Shi Chonghais smile was so gentle as if he had no idea that Yan Huis second son was once suicidal for Rong Xias fiancee.

* laofu= This Old Man (referring to self)

Yan Hui on the side heard what Shi Chonghai said, but not even his eyelids moved.

The other officials smiled at Rong Xia, as if they were also extremely interested to know the answer.
