Chapter 69 - Schadenfreude
Yun Xiangxiang had the honor of visiting Suzhou’s Chinese garden in her previous life. It was exquisitely elegant. However, a lot of places had lost their glory after the flow of time left its mark on them. It was impossible to see the magnificently breathtaking elegance of ancient times.
However, the Song Family’s manor preserved all the original elements of the ancient era. Even the window panes were made of supple and strong shoji instead of glass.
On top of that, everyone was saying that Beijing’s air quality was bad. However, Yun Xiangxiang felt like a flower that bloomed at dawn every time she took a breath here. It was extraordinarily refreshing. God knew the reason behind this. It might have been because it was at a high altitude.
The Song Family’s manor truly took up tremendous amounts of space. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t even finish strolling around it after walking for half an hour with Song Qian.
“Eh, it’s the sound of Erhu…” Yun Xiangxiang unexpectedly heard the sound of Erhu being played during her saunter.
It was an unknown melody that was filled with sorrow. For reasons unknown however, Yun Xiangxiang’s first reaction when she heard this sorrowful tune was to laugh instead of feeling sad…
She immediately felt curious about the person playing the tune. She peered at the moon gate ahead, “Can I go over there?”
“Sure…” There was some hesitation in Song Qian’s voice. The young master did say that Yun Xiangxiang could go anywhere, “But only you can go in. We can’t simply enter Guiyi Courtyard.”
