Tang Qiqi, a top student from an agricultural academy, transmigrated into a poverty-stricken farmhouse family. Her father's whereabouts were unknown due to war, leaving only her grandmother and...
Tang 77 turned around and saw Lan Yu wearing a light blue robe, her hair casually tied back, looking very relaxed.
The fierceness on his face had disappeared, and his eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as jade. Tang 77 couldn't help but stare at him, completely mesmerized. He was just too pleasing to the eye.
"What are you daydreaming about? My chefs are quite good!" Lan Yu added, afraid of being rejected.
Sure enough, Tang 77 dropped the food in her hand and followed.
Lan Yu led Tang 77 into the room and sat down in the main seat. Tang 77 looked at the imposing guards on both sides and sat down in a corner.
A cold glint flashed in Lan Yu's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she patted the seat next to her and said, "Sit here!"
Tang 77 glanced at the two guards, then obediently sat down next to Lan Yu.
Lan Yu said calmly, "You may all leave! Qi Hong, set the table!"
A beautiful maid dressed in red walked in. Her appearance and demeanor made it clear that she was the daughter of a wealthy family.
Then, a man dressed in green carried in the dishes and bowed. The two of them quietly set out the food and stood quietly behind them.
Tang 77 kept glancing at the two maids, thinking to himself, "This young master Bing is really lucky with women."
"Qihong, serve Xiaoqi some food!" Lan Yu looked at Tang Qiqi with amusement. If she didn't know that he was a girl, she would definitely think that he was trying to take advantage of her maid.
"Young Master Qi, try this Eight Treasures Duck!" Qi Hong said.
"Thank you, beautiful sister!" Little 7 said sweetly.
Tang 77 looked at the large table of delicious food and couldn't help but exclaim, "Rich people are indeed different. It's such a waste for two people to eat such a big table of food. Let's eat together, sisters!"
Qi Hong and Liu Lü knelt down with a thud, saying tremblingly, "We are of lowly status, how can we sit at the same table as our master? You are too kind to us!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Tang 77 rolled her eyes at Lan Yu and said, "You really are the Ice Prince. These two beautiful sisters have been persecuted like this by you. Don't you know anything about cherishing women?"
Qi Hong and Liu Lü secretly groaned. Where did this young man come from? He was so outspoken and said such things. It was one thing for him to be so reckless, but why did he have to drag them into this?
The young master was extremely kind to this person, not only letting him dine at the same table but also personally instructing the kitchen to prepare various dishes. No one knew what kind of person he was.
Qi Hong hurriedly said, "Young Master Qi, you have treated us very well, but there is a difference in rank, and we cannot overstep that line. Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Qi!"
Tang 77 was a little embarrassed. This is what happens when good intentions backfire. The two beautiful ladies were at a loss for what to do!
Seeing Tang 77's self-reproach, Lan Yu said, "Little 7 is right. There are so many dishes, so you should all eat together. Don't let Little 7's kindness go to waste!"
Qi Hong and Liu Lü exchanged glances and finally sat down properly.
Tang 77 then smiled again.
Lan Yu served Tang 77 some food and said softly, "I didn't know your taste, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some of everything."
Lan Yu spoke casually, but Tang 77 was somewhat flattered. Could this guy really be telling the truth? We just met by chance, why is he being so nice to me? Does he really have homosexual tendencies? Tang 77 trembled with fear!
Tang 77 ate his meal calmly, and Lan Yu instructed him, "Qi Hong Liu Lü, you two will take care of Xiao 7 from now on!"
Qi Hong and Liu Lü were stunned again. Ever since they followed the young master, they had been his personal maids. Except when they went to the battlefield, the young master always took at least one of them with him when he went out. They had never served anyone else. Was this young master so important?
Qi Hong was busy guessing wildly, but Liu Lü was composed and quickly said, "Yes, young master, which courtyard will the seventh young master be staying in?"
"She's still young, so I'll leave her in my courtyard and let her stay in the east wing!" Lan Yu made the arrangement without even thinking.
At this moment, the head of the guards, Jiang Ping, came in and said, "Young master, we've found out!"
Lan Yu's eyes turned cold as she said to Tang 77, "You should rest well. I have something to take care of!"
Then he said to Qi Hong Liu Lü, "Take good care of Little 7!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry. Tang 77 felt inexplicably sad. Although this person was cold, she felt a strange sense of security when she was with him. But he was so busy!
Tang 77 couldn't help but sigh. It was going to be boring again!
However, upon seeing the two beautiful older sisters beside her, Tang 77 immediately became interested and excitedly said, "Sisters, let's play a game!"
Qi Hongliu was completely bewildered. This young master was really making a fuss. But she looked to be only a little over ten years old. It was normal for a child to be playful!
"What game are we going to play? Hide and seek?" Liu Lü asked.
Tang 77 chuckled to himself. Did she really think of herself as a child?
Tang 77 pulled out a deck of cards from his pocket and began training the two girls in Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
Once they started playing, they couldn't stop. At first, they felt that it was inappropriate for the master and servant to sit at the same table, but later they became so engrossed in it that Qi Hong even let herself go and squatted on the chair.
After finishing his business, Lan Yu hurriedly headed to the inn. He always felt that the nights were long and he couldn't sleep, so he would work in his study until very late at night.
Now that Tang 77 is in that courtyard, he feels a strong urge to return home, and his empty heart seems to have found its place!
As soon as I entered, I could hear constant laughter and chatter inside. Not to mention Tang 77, who was called "Zha Zha," the voices of Qi Hong and Liu Lü were also ringing out.
Lan Yu smiled unconsciously. His cold and quiet courtyard finally had a lively atmosphere!
He dismissed his attendants and strolled alone to the east wing. He opened the door and saw three people squatting on a spacious couch, surrounded by a large pile of various snacks and pastries. What was even funnier was that all three of their faces were covered with notes.
When Qi Hongliu saw Lan Yu, she was almost scared out of her wits. She quickly knelt down and apologized: "Young Master, we were wrong. Please punish us!"
Tang 77 frowned and said, "What did you do wrong? He told you to take good care of me. It was all my idea. If you want to punish someone, punish me. It has nothing to do with you two older sisters!"
Lan Yu was somewhat annoyed. She should have known better than to come in and spoil their enjoyment!
"It's getting late, and Little 7 is still growing. You should hurry up and put her to bed!" Lan Yu tried her best to speak calmly, not knowing if she had startled 77. After speaking, she left without a word!
"What a disappointment!" Tang 77 said, somewhat indignantly.
Qi Hong and Liu Lü hurriedly put away their cards and said, "Little Ancestor, stop complaining. What are you to the young master? He indulges you like this. You don't know how much he loves peace and quiet. Usually, this courtyard is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. We've been acting so recklessly today, and he's not angry at all. It's really unbelievable!"
Green Willow said, "Qi Hong, what nonsense are you spouting? Get to work!"
The two quickly arranged for Tang 77 to take a bath. Tang 77 was also exhausted. After taking a bath, he quickly fell asleep with the help of the two beautiful ladies.
Suddenly waking up, she was about to call for Sister Qihong when she heard Qihong, who was sleeping in the outer room, say, "Liulü, just who is this Seventh Young Master? Why is our young master so good to her? Our young master hasn't smiled as much as he has in all these years!"
Tang 77 pouted. Were these two older sisters blind? When had Young Master Bing ever smiled? He always had a stern face.
Liu Lü whispered, "I'm wondering the same thing. The young master's family has only one heir left. I've never heard of him having any brothers!"
"Could it be that the young master had a child outside the marriage?" Qi Hong asked!
Liu Lü scolded, "You, you never speak properly! Young Master is only seventeen years old. How could he possibly have a son that big? Besides, what kind of person is our young master? In all these years, have you ever seen him even glance at any woman?"
“Young Master Qi says he is our young master’s savior. Given our young master’s strength, this shouldn’t be the case!” Qi Hong said again.
“That’s not necessarily true. Look at the wound on our young master’s chest; he’s never been so badly injured before,” Liu Lü said.
"That wound is very strange. Even the doctor couldn't figure out what kind of injury it was. You'd think that only a top-notch expert could have injured our young master. But that wound is really unsightly. It looks like a dog chewed it up. Poor young master, such a handsome person. What will he do if he gets a scar?" Qi Hong said, feeling sorry for him.
Tang 77 grew increasingly uneasy as she listened. Wasn't it she who had insisted on coming? Why did she feel like she'd been tricked? Thinking of the wound, Tang 77 felt a pang of guilt; she'd cut herself while bandaging it. And now it sounded like it was getting worse with treatment!
