When Lin Yuxin saw the person who came, and then looked at the bucket he was carrying, she exclaimed, "Oh my god! It stinks!"
Lin Yuxin quickly took several steps back, covered her nose, and said:
"Um, I'm a maid who just joined the household today. I'm lost. Master asked me to serve that General Qi. Do you know where he is, young man?"
Good heavens, it stinks! I feel like throwing up! What did the people in the city lord's mansion eat? How can their poop smell so bad?
The servant looked at Lin Yuxin suspiciously after hearing her words, sizing her up and down before speaking uncertainly:
"Are you new here? I haven't heard of any new people joining today?"
"Oh dear! This servant doesn't know. How can you guess what the master is thinking? The master said that there's no one to serve General Qi, so he asked this servant to go. You should have told me! Otherwise, if I'm late, I'll be punished!"
Lin Yuxin spoke with a timid and frightened expression.
"Just walk straight ahead, past Fuchun Garden, then head south!"
Seeing that she sounded pitiful and was quite pretty, the servant figured she wasn't a bad person. He guessed that the master had sent her to win over General Qi, so he didn't hide anything and directly pointed Lin Yuxin in the right direction.
He was just a servant who emptied chamber pots; he couldn't possibly guess what his masters were thinking.
"Thank you, sir!"
Lin Yuxin immediately gave the servant a sweet smile, then took off running. If she didn't run, she would be suffocated by the stench.
"well…!"
Lin Yuxin ran so fast that the servant glanced at her a couple more times before picking up the chamber pot and leaving.
Lin Yuxin ran through two courtyards in one breath before finally letting out a sigh of relief. She quickly took a few deep breaths of fresh air. Help!
My God, I almost died from the stench just now, it was absolutely awful!
Lin Yuxin paused for a moment and prepared to walk towards Qi Jiguang's courtyard, but when she looked up, she was stunned. Where...where is this?
Lin Yuxin looked around. Oh no, which way did that servant say to go?
Lin Yuxin scratched her head, looking around. Was she really lost this time?
Just as Lin Yuxin was feeling frustrated, she heard a familiar voice. She quickly slipped away and hid behind the wall.
Two familiar figures walked out of a courtyard.
"Please forgive me, Miss. I was so angry with that old woman today that I lost my temper and caused you to not be able to buy what you wanted."
Xiaoqiao followed behind Fang Fangfei, whose face was dark, and said cautiously.
"I'll let you off this time, but if you act so recklessly again, I'll beat you to a pulp."
Fang Fangfei gave a cold warning.
"Yes, this servant will definitely not do it again!"
Xiaoqiao flinched in fear and lowered her head in response.
Upon closer inspection, there was a very obvious handprint on Xiao Qiao's face, indicating that she had just been punished.
After Fang Fangfei finished speaking, she walked towards the kitchen. She still wanted to personally give instructions on how to make the soup for General Qi.
Xiaoqiao quickly followed.
Lin Yuxin's eyes darted around. This woman had said before that she was going to bring warmth to Qi Jiguang. If she followed her, she would definitely be able to find Qi Jiguang.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxin immediately followed quietly behind the two of them.
Lin Yuxin followed the two to the back kitchen, but fearing being discovered, she did not go in. Instead, she hid behind a water tank outside the kitchen.
The water tank was placed in the corner, so it wouldn't be discovered for a while. However, she could see the whole kitchen with just a slight tilt of her head.
Lin Yuxin watched as Fang Fangfei instructed the servants to stew the sea cucumber soup. Because the soup needed to stew for a while, Fang Fangfei said a few words and then left.
This is true sincerity!
However, Lin Yuxin didn't leave with Fang Fangfei, because she had come up with another fun idea! Hehehe!
Lin Yuxin had been squatting behind the water tank until her legs were about to go numb! Only then did she hear the chef in the kitchen say:
"You stay here and keep watch. If we run out of bird's nest, I'll go to the storeroom and get some. Madam drinks bird's nest porridge every day; how can she manage without it?"
"Yes, Chef Hu!"
The kitchen helper nodded repeatedly.
After the head chef left, the kitchen helper sat there watching the seafood soup intently.
Seeing that he was all alone, Lin Yuxin felt that the time was right and didn't want to squat anymore, as it was too much strain on her legs.
So she took out a packet of medicine, crouched down, and because her legs were numb, Lin Yuxin limped to the window and threw the medicine out in the wind.
A moment later, Lin Yuxin heard a thud.
Lin Yuxin smiled and got up to go inside, but her legs went numb and she almost knelt down.
Lin Yuxin quickly grabbed the window to prevent her from getting hurt.
"Damn it, I forgot my legs were still numb!!"
Lin Yuxin couldn't help but criticize herself. How unlucky! She couldn't even do something like stealing!
Lin Yuxin stood up and rested for a while before feeling a bit better. She quickly went into the kitchen, knowing there wouldn't be enough time if she didn't act soon.
Lin Yuxin quickly walked to the stove where the soup was being made, poured the medicine she had prepared into it, stirred it with a spoon, and then left.
Hehehe! Let her test whether Qi Jiguang is still usable! Don't blame her! She's trying to cure your illness!
After hiding, Lin Yuxin reached out and snapped her fingers towards the window, which woke up the kitchen helper.
How did I fall asleep?
The kitchen helper rubbed his eyes in confusion, then glanced at the soup that was still simmering. Seeing that nothing had changed, he didn't think much of it.
Half an hour later, Xiaoqiao came over, ladled out the soup, and left.
Lin Yuxin quickly followed, and whether it was good luck or something else, she didn't encounter many servants.
