Minghe glanced at her unintentionally, but because she saw the woman's body, her eyes immediately looked away. Her heart was pounding, and her ears probably turned a little red.
She clearly looked shy.
Xiao Jingying looked at him, his eyes narrowing.
When has this servant ever felt ashamed in his own bed?
Now, just because he saw such a woman, he's become like this.
Minghe was really nervous. When he opened his mouth, he choked on some phlegm and even forgot to use respectful terms.
"Wash, wash your hands."
As she spoke, Minghe slightly twisted her body, turning her back a little to the woman, but she didn't turn her neck, as if she wanted to look but didn't dare to.
Seeing that Xiao Jingying didn't move, Minghe raised her eyes with some confusion.
Xiao Jingying grabbed his chin and forced him to lift his head, squinting at his face which was flushed with a thin layer of red.
He laughed, a hint of wicked charm in his voice. Though his tone should have been flippant, his voice unexpectedly deepened. "So, you've seen a woman and are getting lovesick?"
Minghe's eyes darted around.
What does Xiao Jingying mean by this?
Do I suspect I'm trying to steal his girlfriend?
Minghe instinctively said, "This servant wouldn't dare!"
It's not that I don't want to, but that I dare not.
Xiao Jingying was so angry that he laughed without realizing it.
He looked closely at the boy and realized that the boy had grown much taller. Although he was not as tall as him, the boy's height had reached his chin.
Her once soft and gentle appearance has now developed into something more angular. Although her features are still somewhat thin, it is precisely because of this that she doesn't seem aggressive at all.
The woman stirred slightly on the bed, silently dressed herself, and then stood to the side, not daring to make a sound to disturb her.
Xiao Jingying clicked his tongue, finally releasing Minghe's chin, then slapped the basin over again, yelling, "Get out!"
Minghe lowered her head and quickly left.
After they left, Minghe slapped him across the face.
How pathetic!
After slapping her, Minghe sat down on a step under the corridor and sighed.
Actually, it's not his fault.
He saw a woman lying there disheveled, and it was impossible for him to... not react at all.
Minghe was just thinking about this when Xiuniang walked past him.
Minghe saw her and couldn't help feeling a little awkward.
Xiu Niang glanced at him with some displeasure and then left.
No wonder, Minghe thought to herself, there was a world of difference between her and Xiao Jingying in terms of status, appearance and ability.
Since Xiu Niang had followed Xiao Jinying, she was practically his mistress. How could she possibly be happy to be coveted by a mere servant like him?
At this moment, Xiuniang turned around, twisting her handkerchief, and looked at Minghe, her almond-shaped eyes filled with resentment.
Just now, she asked Xiao Jingying to take charge and kill this servant, but when Xiao Jingying heard what she said, he laughed, as if what she said was ridiculous.
She thought that she had been sent to the Xiao family mansion and had successfully climbed into her master's bed, which meant she had finally made it. But who knew that in Xiao Jingying's eyes, she was not even as good as a servant!
How could she not be angry?
During this time, Minghe watched Xiao Jingying sleep with one woman after another, while he himself was never bothered by Xiao Jingying again, and instead, he felt relieved.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Xiao Jingying is probably straight. The reason he was targeted was simply because he had no one else around and it was convenient for him to do so.
However, with so many servants in the mansion, there were quite a few who wanted to rise in rank, and they all fawned over Xiao Jingying.
Minghe is clever. Relying on the fact that she has served Xiao Jingying since she was a child, she has managed to make a name for herself in this mansion.
This undercurrent is even more exciting than the women vying for favor.
Xiao Jingying never cared about these things, but that didn't mean he was unaware of the little tricks these women and servants played in front of him.
Minghe, on the other hand, belonged to the category of lackeys.
Xiao Jingying lost interest in Minghe's body. Neither of them mentioned the past events, as if they had never happened.
He was promoted to his official rank, becoming Lord Xiao, and in just one year, he rose from the sixth rank to the third rank.
Minghe did her best to please him and serve him. Every time she was promoted, she was happier than he was.
Whenever Xiao Jingying looked at Minghe, he always seemed to enjoy making things difficult for him, for reasons unknown.
The more Minghe tried to get closer to him and please him, the more he would intentionally or unintentionally promote others, and then watch him get anxious, resort to tricks, and try every means to stay by his side.
Sometimes, when he saw Minghe sitting alone on the veranda, looking distressed and unable to sleep at night, he felt happy.
On one occasion, she even watched him from the shadows.
Minghe sat there all night, and he watched him all night.
But precisely because of this, the servants in the mansion, seeing how diligent Minghe was usually, yet in the end he still couldn't win his master's favor, began to mock him frequently.
Minghe was frustrated by this, but there was really nothing she could do.
Minghe complained to Xiaoguai, "How can a servant be so curled up like this?"
Little Darling: "...Good luck!"
“…” Minghe stood up and headed toward Xiao Jingying’s study.
come on!
As soon as Minghe reached the door of the study, he saw the woman named Xiuniang come out. Her expression changed immediately, and she looked furious.
Minghe instinctively tried to dodge, but she couldn't avoid it in time and was bumped into.
The woman raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
"You damned lackey! Are you blind?!"
Just then, Xiao Jingying came out of the study.
Xiu Niang looked embarrassed, while Ming He lowered her hand from her face, lowered her head, and stepped aside.
“Xiao Shan,” Xiao Jingying looked at Minghe and ordered one of his recently promoted personal servants, “to sell this woman.”
[Ding! Xiao Jinying's Antisocial Index: 98.7%!]
Xiao Shan was taken aback.
Minghe was also taken aback.
But he was now nothing more than a servant who was not favored by his master, and he had no right to plead or negotiate, so he just stood there without even raising his head.
Xiu Niang looked as if the sky had fallen, kneeling on the ground and heading towards Xiao Jinying, but was kicked away by Xiao Jinying.
No one even knew what mistake this Xiu Niang had made. The entire household just watched as this woman, who was at the height of her influence in the Xiao family, ended up in a fate worse than death.
The entire mansion was filled with fear.
If we knew what mistake this maid had made, it would be alright, but it is precisely because we don't know that it is so frightening.
