Chapter 5 - The Autumn Festival

Mr Cheng was walking down the corridor when he saw Cheng Hee

"Paa" She greeted

"Are you guys not going for the autumn festival, its an auspicious day plus its also your sister's birthday and Cheng Mi birthday, i think it would be a blessing to go and offer prayer" He said

"You know Ji is very angry for what you did and she has been sobbing in her room ever since also refusing to come out" She said

"What i did was for her own good, she's been behaving these days, its high time I stopped with my pampering and teach her real manners after all she will soon become a royal concubine " He said

"Over the years she has received a lot of pampering from you, she's not used to you yelling at her yet, please paa i ask that you go see her and comfort her, maybe she'll feel better " She requested

" What you said actually makes a lot of sense i have been the one spoiling her, its true I will go see her know to comfort her after that you guys can leave to enjoy the festival " He said

"Thank you paa " She said while smiling as her father left

"My lady today is the autumn festival, aren't you going out " Cheng Lin asked

"In what position are you to ask me that, or maybe its because we feed you too much and give you less work right !!" Cheng Ji scolded

"Whats going on here" Mr Cheng shouted as he entered the room

"Master " Lin called while bowing her head

"You may leave" He said

"Yes" She said as she left

"A-Ji" Mr Cheng called but got no response

"Are you still angry at paa??" He asked with in a loving tone

"Please forgive paa ok" He begged lovingly

"Paa, I can never be mad at you but today you really..and its all because of Cheng Mi " she lamented

"Its ok get dressed and follow your sister for the celebration of the autumn festival and also offer prayers ok" he said

"OK paa" she said as her father left.

She wore a bright yellow dress and put on a bit of make-up bringing out her elegant beauty, as she was done preparing she went to the yard to look for her sister

"Sister " she called as she walked through

"A-Ji, you are looking really beautiful" Cheng Hee said

"You flatter me too much, I think you are looking more elegant than I am today " she said

"Why don't we let Cheng Mi be the judge then" Cheng Hee said as she turned toward Cheng Mi

"What would a maid like her know by the way" she said as she scoughed

"A-Ji " Cheng Hee called

"Why don't we go for the festival already, we are running late" she lamented

"OK, i don't also have the strength to argue with you, Cheng Mi " she said

"My lady" she answered

"Let's go" Cheng Hee said as the all left

As they left for the market they were met with liveliness as the market was also crowded, a lot of people too celebrating, they went round buying things for the meantime while Cheng Mi followed suit . Suddenly the market started buzzing more and more and became a little bit more rowdy than before which made Cheng Mi to loose track of the two ladies

"My lady!! My lady!!" She called out but got no response. She kept on shouting and looking when Suddenly someone hit her on the back and took her away unconsciously.

Meanwhile at the palace

"My prince" the guard called out

"Its getting late already and you are still out, wat if you fall sick" he said in a concerning tone

"Sungmin" the prince Gyeongwon called out

"My prince" he answered

"Today is the autumn festival, the same day I met my beloved 15 years ago, if she was still alive I wonder what she would look like " he said as he tightly held the jade pendant while looking at the sky

Cheng Mi finally woke up but found herself tied up and was covered with a black cloth

"Who are you?? What do you want??, I really have nothing please spare me" she pleaded

"Its your fault for being so unlucky, there's nothing we can do, its better to end your suffering here only then can u meet ur ancestors " the kidnapper said as he stabbed her and threw her off the cliff.
