Chapter 49: Start Working

Two days later, a piece of explosive news broke out in Prince Mu's mansion: Zhong Min, the maidservant who had been working in Mo Garden, had been promoted to the prince's personal maid. The news about Zhong Min spread like wildfire, becoming known to almost everyone in the mansion.

There were all kinds of speculations and discussions, but no matter what they said, they all had a similar principle, that is, Zhong Min was not a good person in the mouths of these people, but a person with extraordinary means and unpredictable thoughts.

On the one hand, Zhong Min had originally been just an ordinary maidservant to Concubine Zheng, and it was incredible that she had been promoted so high in just two months. More importantly, the prince had never had a dedicated personal maid in all those years, so the news of her being so high in the palace sparked jealousy and envy among the women.

You have to know that the personal maid is the one who stays with the prince almost all day long except when sleeping. She is also the one who is most likely to gain the prince's favor and become a phoenix.

For a moment, everyone was extremely curious about Zhong Min. They wondered what kind of ability this maid had that could make the prince, who was usually cold in nature, make an exception and promote her to a personal maid.

However, whether it was curiosity, jealousy, envy, or hatred, none of it seemed to have anything to do with Zhong Min. Now, publicly she was Xiao Mingzheng's personal maid, but secretly her security expert. This identity was simply to make it easier for her to follow Xiao Mingzheng in and out in the future.

In order to make it easier for Zhong Min to work, Xiao Mingzheng asked Luo Jiaxing to take time to assist Zhong Min at the beginning, and found a quiet courtyard in the palace for her to use.

The first thing Zhong Min did when he officially started working was to ask Luo Jiaxing to help summon the main guards who were originally responsible for Xiao Mingzheng's safety and security, and prepare to reassign their tasks.

"Have you figured out how to confront those guard commanders later?" Luo Jiaxing sat comfortably in the courtyard, basking in the sun. He kindly reminded Zhong Min, "Those guys aren't easy to get behind, especially when you ask them to obey a woman."

"What's wrong with women? Can't you just listen to them?" Zhong Min raised his head from the densely written papers in his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm a person who sticks to facts and convinces people with reason. If I can't even convince a few people, what else can I do?"

Luo Jiaxing had long been accustomed to Zhong Min's self-confidence. To be honest, Zhong Min's behavior that day really shocked him. Compared with this incident, the amazement in the ambush circle last time was nothing.

He truly couldn't understand how a girl of only fifteen or sixteen could possess such courage and vision, and her abilities were completely beyond his expectations. Everything about her seemed to be beyond the level and capability expected of someone her age.

"Since you are so confident, I won't interfere for a while. After all, I am just your assistant now. Only when they are convinced by you can it be convenient for you to take all actions in the future." Luo Jiaxing was also doing this for Zhong Min's own good. He could help her with some things, but she had to solve some things herself.

"Thank you!" After hearing Luo Jiaxing's words, Zhong Min put down what he was doing and thanked Luo Jiaxing seriously.

"What are you thanking me for? I just told you to deal with those commanders yourself later." Luo Jiaxing said as he picked up the tea on the small table in front of the chair and started drinking it, looking leisurely and contented.

To be honest, he was quite enjoying the present time. It was a rare opportunity to be so relaxed, sitting in the yard in the sun, drinking hot tea, and waiting to see how a woman he was interested in would handle various things.

Zhong Min shook his head. "That's not it. I just wanted to say thank you for what happened the day before yesterday. Thank you for speaking up for me when I was in trouble."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I still feel ashamed. First, I couldn't let you go, and second, I didn't really help you. Really, just don't blame me." Luo Jiaxing said frankly, "Actually, your ability to escape this predicament is the result of your own efforts. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I'm happy for you."

"No matter what, I will always remember your kindness, General! If you don't mind, from now on, I will make you my friend. I, Zhong Min, have recognized you as my friend. If you need my help in the future, just ask me, and I will do my utmost to help you, no matter how hard it takes!"

Zhong Min said generously that from now on, she had her first friend in this strange world. Luo Jiaxing was indeed a good person and a good friend. She had to seize the opportunity to make friends with such people. Otherwise, if she missed him, it would be her own loss.

Luo Jiaxing was stunned for a moment when he saw this, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: "In that case, I'll make you my friend. However, since we're already friends, don't call me General anymore. It's a bit strange to call friends that."

"Brother Luo is right!" Zhong Min was overjoyed to see Luo Jiaxing agreed. He reached out and patted Luo Jiaxing on the shoulder and said, "I promise not to call you 'General' anymore in the future."

Seeing Zhong Min patting his shoulder again in a cool manner, Luo Jiaxing couldn't help laughing. This girl was really full of chivalrous spirit, just like a boy. If the prince saw this, he would say that she was unruly.

"You should just call me by my name. Calling me brother always feels a bit awkward." He shook his head, but didn't mention Zhong Min's subconscious pat on his shoulder. "Or, you can call me Brother Luo. After all, I'm a few years older than you."

Zhong Min naturally nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to call out "Brother Luo" crisply, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is not locked." Luo Jiaxing responded and then said to Zhong Min, "They must be here. No one usually comes here."

Sure enough, four tall, rugged men who looked like the leaders of the guards soon walked in.

Those people naturally knew Luo Jiaxing, but they didn't know who the woman sitting next to Luo Jiaxing was. However, it seemed that she was very familiar with Luo Jiaxing, so they didn't think much about it and went straight forward to greet her.

"I am honored to meet General Luo! I wonder why you summoned us here today." The leading man was extremely tall and strong, and his facial features were originally regular, but there was a flesh-colored scar about half a finger long on his left cheek, which made him look fiercer.

However, this person had a loud voice, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant. He looked impartial and did not try to please Luo Jiaxing at all because of his status. There was a hint of awe-inspiring righteousness emanating from him.

"Thank you, Commander. Please sit down and we'll talk." Luo Jiaxing seemed to have a very good impression of this man. Smiling, he invited him and the other three to sit on the small stools across from the table. "Everyone, please sit down. Don't be shy."
