Chapter 108: Ah Mi 9

(play the song) It does give some hints.

*********************** Thank you ILoveBluu25**************************

That was the first time he encountered a mortal who had the guts to crush his pill and even slap him on

his face. His pill is one of a kind and it was supposed to be a gift.

The man saw the fox rolling and laughing so hard.

"Do you want to die." The man angrily said. The fox stopped and laughed even more.

The fox was one of the legendary beasts that just recently awakened when one of his comrades also

awaked. It seemed like they were all connected somehow. After thousands of years of sleep, this was

the first time he ventured out and embarrassingly the first time being trapped.

The man in red then suddenly vanished while the fox was left with his thoughts. When they were in the

temple, he cannot erase the face of Sheri. It amused him with the way she acted. One thing he was

very surprised is when he attacked her. It results only in a minor injury. If she is an ordinary person she

would have died on the spot. Meaning she is not ordinary.

On the other hand, Sheri was furious. Arriving at home, she went directly inside her room and slowly

removed her upper garments.

"Next time I will never help any beast." Sheri looked at her chest. Her chest turned blue and it was still

aching. She put a cold compress to alleviate the pain. On the next day, she just stayed in her room for

recovery.

In the middle of the night, the old woman knocked on her door.

"Ah Mi, are you awake?" The old woman asked.

Ah Mi was awakened and opened her door.

"Yes Auntie Zhang" Sheri answered.

"Ah thank God! One of the children is having a diarrhea and high fever. I don't want to disturb you but

she already started to vomit." The old woman explained.

"Who is the one who got sick?" Sheri was fully awake now and asked in concern.

"It's Biyu, the new girl."

Sheri rushed immediately where the children were sleeping. She checked Biyu and made a conclusion

that it could be a stomach flu. She asked the old woman to make a chicken soup with no herbs on it.

Just chicken with rice and salt would be enough. After a while, the old woman brought the food and

Sheri slowly fed the girl. She let the old woman take a rest while she stayed and observed the rest of

the kids who were sleeping specially Biyu.

Morning came. Sheri didn't know that she fell asleep. She woke up as she felt someone shook her

shoulders. Sheri looked up and saw a small hand playing with her hair.

"How are you feeling Biyu? Are you alright?" Sheri looked at Biyu and asked.

"I'm feeling much better." Biyu meekly answered.

Sheri checked her temperature and her tongue. She then saw a necklace hanging on her neck. It made

her curious because she never saw it the time she brought her home.

"Biyu, can you show Auntie Ah Mi what is in your neck?" Sheri slowly and gently asked. Biyu at first

hesitated but after a while, she took it out from her neck and let her see it.

As she gave a glance on how it looked like, It made her still.

"Damn" Sheri shockingly muttered.

"What is it Auntie Ah Mi?"

"Nothing sweetheart, just take a rest alright?" Sheri said and handed her back her necklace. Sheri had

used modern names to call the children. After making sure Biyu is resting, she went out and her

expression immediately changed. No matter how painful her chest was, she decided to go out. She

gave an instruction to Aunt Zhang not to let Biyu get out since she was still weak. Aunt Zhang in

response nodded her head.

Sheri immediately went to the palace. In Ah Mi's memory, that was the kid that the palace was looking

for. Sheri closed her eyes when she found out what happened to the girl according to Ah Mi's memory.

It was the talk of the town where even the secluded sects had heard of the story.

Sheri saw the soldier whom she helped before and informed him about the girl. The soldier immediately

passed the information to the commander and was soon passed to the eunuch. In the end, the eunuch

gave the information to the Emperor.

Learning about it, the Emperor immediately summoned Sheri.

Sheri showed the eunuch her token given to her by the Elder from her sect. The token would give her

the privilege of not bowing down to an Emperor or Empress since their position were high according to

hierarchy.

When Sheri arrived, she saw another couple who were fidgeting and anxious standing by beside the

Emperor. They noticed her entering and the woman rushed to her.

"They told me that you know the location of our daughter. Please, I will reward you as much as I can Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

just to see my daughter again." The woman pleaded desperately.

The man slowly approached Sheri.

"Please, if you know where she is, we will do everything!" The man, together with the woman, asked in

a grievance.

"She is with me but first, I want to know how it happened. How was she kidnapped." Sheri was calm as

she asked. She already prepared her question. For every child she took in unexpected cases such as

this can happen. She wanted to make sure that the child will back safe in sound to a safe family and

not some family who were full of schemes.

"What?! They said she run away!" the woman was surprised.

Sheri shook her head. "According to her, she was escorted by someone to play outside and then

someone took her by force and kidnapped her," Sheri said and observed their reaction.

The woman looked at his husband.

"I knew it! It was one of those schemes of your beloved consort!" The woman was agitated and

reprimanded her husband.

While Sheri was looking at the woman scolding her husband, the female lead and the Master sect

arrived.

"Ah Mi, you're here!" Xi Feng asked in confusion.

Sheri was not at all surprised by their sudden appearance. The female lead and the master sect has an

appointment to the emperor.

She showed no emotion, just nodded and turned to Zi Xiang.

"Master Sect, Xi Feng." Sheri cupped and did her salute.

"What is this all about?" Zi Xiang asked the Emperor and the couple with a clouded expression.

The Emperor then explained everything. Sheri just waited on the side and didn't speak anymore. The

Master sect and the female lead had the ability to determine if the other was lying or not.

After the explaining, the Emperor ordered to summon consort Mu. In no time, the consort arrived

together with her servants and teenage girls.

Zi Xiang asked a question and was revealed in the end that the consort wanted to get rid of the

legitimate daughter of the Prince so that her own daughter would, in turn, become the legitimate child.

After the revelation, the mother of Biyu rushed and slapped the face of the consort. The Emperor

decreed for her to be imprisoned. There was a big commotion in the hall of the Emperor. Someone

started shouting at the other woman and the father of Biyu was trying to hold off her two teenage

daughters.

Sheri sighed as she observed standing on the side. She just waited after everyone calmed and settled

down.

After all the slapping session and shouting, She led them to her home where Biyu was.

"Mother, Father!" Biyu cried as she saw familiar faces from the crowd approaching. They were her

parents.

"Biyu!" Shouts the mother and runs to her lost daughter. Unknowingly to Sheri, Biyu was the daughter

of the Emperors' brother.

Sheri was looking and smiling at the reunion. It was an emotional day. How she wished she could

reconcile the other children under her care with their own families too. Sadly, some of them were being

sold or abandoned.

After the reunion Sheri lead them to her pavilion she asked the old woman to prepare a tea for the

guest. When everyone started to drink their tea the emperor spoke.

"your name is Ah Mi?" asked the emperor.

"Yes you're highness," Sheri answered

"How long did you help these children. I can see they are well-fed and well cloth." The emperor said.

"It's been 4 years your highness."

"hmm, I must say you did a good job of raising them."

"Thank you, your highness."

When it's time to say goodbye. Sheri gathers all the things Biyu owns. Every child she cared for. Sheri

made a special earring or necklace or wristband to remind them to be careful. She bring out a beautiful

one of a kind wristband.

The wrist band has a special silver needle that can determine if the tea or any food a person eats has a

poison. Also on it the wristband can be made into a special weapon. It is beautifully made that no one

can know it is a small weapon. In the world, they lived. Diamonds were considered as a stone and not

precious so Sheri used that to decorate the bracelet.

Sheri asks permission to have a talk with Biyu in private and the parents did agree.

"Biyu, sweety, I am glad your mother and father already found you. Remember always what i teach

you."

"Yes, aunt Ah Mi." Biyu almost wanted to cry but Sheri thought her before that she only cry if it's too

painful.

"Good, this is my gift for you!"Sheri bought a beautiful bracelet.

Biyu, looked at Sheri. Sheri showed her and give her specific instructions on how to use it.

"Do you understand and remember all my teachings. I will miss you."Sheri embraces Biyu so tight and

that's the time Biyu cried.

They do their farewell and the parents of Biyu were nevertheless was grateful and glad.
