Fated to be One, Destined to Love

Li Ming Yue and Bai Xiaolian arrived there in no time since it is not that distant to White Rose Brothel. We could have gone also walking but he decided to go with the carriage. He said he is leaving the carriage to me since moving around the village will be convenient for me. I could only just agree with him because my mind is distracted because later, I will be alone with people who are strange and new to me. I don't know what will happen to me next after he is gone. I don't want to feel the loneliness I felt when my husband died and left me.

He knew that my mind is not with him right now, he knew I was worried so he held my hands and hugged me, "everything will be alright, this is just temporary so please bear with it a little bit." he says.

Four family members have welcomed us in our arrival alongside with their servants. There were around more or less 20 people who had bowed their heads to the mighty General Li Ming Yue.

We were invited inside the house; the daughter of the house was the same as my age her name is Yeung Fang while the son of the family is a little order than me and his name is Yeung Jie. The gazes coming with Li Ming Yue is intimidating enough to the family that they kept their heads down while he was entering. The father and the mother are Yeung Sun and Ji Ying.

Everything was explained to us but of course Li Ming Yue already gave me head ups before arriving to the manor.

It was almost late afternoon that we were able to have some time for ourselves before he leaves for the Imperial City. He hugged me from behind and I can feel his heart beat. I feel like I was about to cry but then he said that I should not be afraid or sad for he will come back for me. He will do everything he can to come back to my embrace. And I said he should if he wanted to see me again.

"Li Ming Yue, I know this will be shameless for me to ask, but I think I need money to move around here, since I don't have it. Can you give me at least some?"

"Money"? He frowned.

"Money is something to use in exchange to buy something, like how did you pay when you bought me these things this morning?

"Ah taels, okay I will give you 50 pcs. I only have a little left with me here but I will just leave you everything since I won't be needing that inside the Imperial City since my estate is there."

"I don't know how much is this in money but I will be wise enough when I want to spend it."

"Well, we have to go now, remember be good, okay?"

"Wait, I will give you something in return but you have to give it back to me since they are precious to me, but the taels or whatever, don't expect me to pay for it because I don't know how." she took out the necklace with a crucifix and the rings that she had before in her hand. They are the engagement ring and the wedding ring that are from her dead husband. She hanged around his neck.

"I will take good care of these, whatever it is, we will talk about this later when I come back." He hugged me one last time and he left.
