Chapter 22 Not Necessarily
No wonder Xie Xuchuan looked so pale.
Wei Hu patted his chest and chuckled, "Young Master, rest assured, leave this matter to me, I will handle it perfectly for you."
After saying that, Wei Hu jumped out of the window.
While Xie Xuchuan was still enjoying a whole fish feast at Yujintang, Wei Hu turned and went to Xie's storeroom.
When Mianhe walked to the warehouse, twisting her waist, Wei Hu was already squatting in the corner guarding her.
He had always disliked Mianhe, so he loved to secretly find fault with her and complain to Xie Qi.
Now Wei Hu is huddled against the wall, carrying a broom and pacing back and forth.
"Manager Sun."
Leaning against the front of the warehouse, Mianhe sweetly opened her mouth.
"Cotton Lotus Girl".
Upon seeing Mianhe, Sun Qi beamed with a smile: "Yesterday I was saying how long it had been since I'd seen you, and now I've finally met you. Don't you think we're destined to be together?"
"Pshaw, who has any connection with you?"
Mianhe spat, but her smile remained unchanged: "The second young master instructed me to fetch some charcoal..."
Upon hearing Xie Qi's name, Sun Qi wore a nonchalant expression.
"What need is there for charcoal in April? Summer is almost here, and Miss Lu Rong and Young Master Ying Shou have already run out of charcoal. Is the Second Young Master, a grown man, more precious than other girls and children?"
Mianhe glanced at Sun Qi, her upturned eyes revealing a hint of allure: "The charcoal belongs to the government, it didn't come from your pocket, why are you so protective of it?"
She had a beautiful figure, slender yet curvy, and her waist and hips swayed gracefully as she walked, making Sun Qi extremely envious.
Seeing her coquettish yet reproachful expression, he felt an intense itch in his heart.
With a quick glance, Sun Qi said, "Although the things belong to the public, they are still under my jurisdiction, aren't they? The other courtyards are one thing, but Jiu Cai Ju..."
He curled his lip in disdain: "Even if you ask the madam or the old lady, you still won't be able to get the answer."
Who doesn't know that the second young master is unlucky and disliked by the old lady and the madam?
"Hey, you..."
"Don't be angry, young lady."
Sun Qi touched Mianhe's hand and gently stroked it: "Just because the Second Young Master doesn't want charcoal doesn't mean you won't come."
"For your sake, I'll pack the charcoal for you in a bit."
Pulling the man into the Xie family's storeroom, Sun Qi leaned over and said, "Speaking of which, Mianhe, you'd be better off following me than the second young master."
"In the Xie family, Xie Qi will never have a chance to rise in the ranks; he's not even as good as a steward like me."
“Look, if you follow him, you’ll have to beg him even if you want a basket of charcoal. It’s different with me. My mother is the old lady’s confidante. If you follow me, you can at least become a stewardess.”
In the Xie family, a maidservant serving a master is considered to have no official status or title. If it were another master, it would be fine, as they could at least get some benefits.
Following Xie Qi...
It would be an excellent outcome if they didn't starve to death at Jiu Cai Ju.
Mianhe looked down at her increasingly rough hands and didn't pull her hand away from Sun Qi's for a moment.
She only snapped back to reality when she heard a loud thud outside, as if something had broken.
"I've been serving at Jiu Cai Ju for so many years, wouldn't it be a pity to give it up now?"
Withdrawing her hand, Mianhe casually smoothed her hair and said, "Besides, you're wrong. I might still have my day."
With a light pat on Sun Qi's cheek, Mianhe's eyes were full of charm: "The old lady and the madam would never agree to a good marriage for the second young master."
"Once the eldest young master marries Miss Shen, I will go to the old lady and ask for a favor. Perhaps I can become the second young mistress of the Xie family."
"There is a difference between young masters and mistresses and servants."
Even at the very least, Xie Qi is still the legitimate master of the Xie family.
Not to mention Xie Qi also has a handsome face that makes her feel hot all over.
