04.14 - Tsai Xuan

                                    

                                          
        
                          
"You're Tsai Xuan?"
                          
                In the mist of silence, a calm soft voice float across the campsite. Every soldier held their breath as they watched the little woman stood before their Commander. No one could see her expression hidden because she was looking down.
                          
"Muxue_"
                          
                A single slap stunned not only Tsai Xuan, but his men as well. It had been the first time Tsai Xuan had allowed anyone to hit him without ramification.
                          
"Muxue_"
                          
"You liar!" Muxue glared at him through angry tears before she turned to look at the guilty-looking soldiers. "You're all liars!"
                          
                All the men wanted to explained themselves but couldn't. Keeping their head down, they couldn't bear to look at Muxue's livid tearful face.
                          
"Was it fun to mock me? Was it fun to humiliate me?" Muxue turned back to Tsai Xuan, crying. "What did I do to deserve this from you? If you didn't want to marry me, I would have set you free. If you didn't want me, I would have leave. All I wanted was my family jade back!"
                          
"Muxue" Tsai Xuan grabbed Muxue in a panic and hugged her tightly. "Muxue, I'm_"
                          
"Don't touch me!" Muxue shoved him away, wiping angrily at her fallen tears. "Don't touch me you monster! You demon!"
                          
                Tsai Xuan felt like someone stabbed him through his heart. He had never cared people called him. He had only cared what Han Muxue thought and felt about him.
                          
"Give me back my family jade!" Muxue shouted at him.
                          
"Muxue, calm down" Tsai Xuan reached for her.
                          
"No! Give me back my family jade" Muxue continued to shout as she stepped back.
                          
"I don't have it" Tsai Xuan said with frustration when Muxue continued to refuse him.
                          
"You don't have it?" Muxue froze like he hit her.
                          
"Muxue..."
                          
                Tsai Xuan's heart ached at the sight of her tears falling from her empty eyes.
                          
"Of course you don't have it..." Muxue laughed sadly as tears continued to fall. "Why would you have it... you never cared..."
                          
"Muxue, please" Tsai Xuan only wanted to embrace her. "Let's go to the capital. I'll marry you and_"
                          
"Marry me?" Muxue's laughter only broke Tsai Xuan's heart more. "This old maiden? The great Tsai Xuan wants to marry this ugly, old woman?"
                          
"Muxue!"
                          
"I hate you" Muxue's words cut at Tsai Xuan's heart. "I hate all of you"
                          
                Muxue turned to run away, but the soldiers all blocked her path. Even though they felt guilty for tricking her for so long, none of the men could let her leave - especially when their Commander could not bear to part from her.
                          
"Muxue" Tsai Xuan went to Muxue who had no way of leaving the campsite. "Please, just this once, forgive me. I'm sorry"
                          
                Muxue doesn't know that it was the first time Tsai Xuan had apologize to anyone for anything. The soldiers all were surprised, but they understood it was because Han Muxue had hold a place in their Commander's heart.
                          
"Step aside"
                          
                Muxue tried to shove the brick of walls also known as Tsai Xuan's soldiers. But no matter how hard she push, no one dared to move. Instantly, Muxue was trapped within Tsai Xuan's embrace.
