When the carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, Mama Song lifted the curtain to show Mu Run, "This is the main front gate of the Prime Minister's residence, a place only nobles can enter and exit. We are servants, so even if we go through the front, we have to use the side gate or the back gate of the Prime Minister's residence."
Mu Run glanced at the main gate of the Prime Minister's residence.
The vermilion gate with its copper nails was wide open, with a pair of white jade lion sculptures in front of it, and two guards standing on either side of the gate.
The carriage continued on its way, heading around to the back gate.
Mu Run kept lifting the curtain of the carriage, peeking out at the main gate of the Prime Minister's residence... not because she had any particular thoughts, but simply out of curiosity about the differences between the home of an ancient prime minister and modern ancient ruins.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves rang out.
Mu Run turned his head and saw a young man dressed in a misty blue brocade robe. He had a handsome face and a dashing appearance. The white horse beneath him was powerful and majestic with its four hooves in the air.
A man and a horse quickly sped past the carriage.
Looking at the people who had passed by, Madam Song was quite surprised and asked Mu Run, "Whose son is this handsome young master?"
"..." Mu Run didn't speak; how would she know? Besides, in her opinion, he wasn't any better looking than Fu Yunchen. Ever since she met Fu Yunchen, no other man could evoke any sense of awe or wonder in her eyes.
The sound of hooves suddenly turned around and headed towards Mu Run and his companion's carriage, finally stopping in front of it.
Upon seeing this, Madam Song quickly told the driver to stop the carriage. Her round, plump face was full of smiles. "This young master is quite handsome. May I ask who your family is?"
The other person didn't even look at Song's mother; their gaze remained fixed on Mu Run's face, especially her eyes.
Mu Run felt uneasy under his gaze and secretly glanced at Song's mother.
Mother Song was also puzzled. If Mu Run had been pretty and charming before, it would have been understandable. But now Mu Run's face was dull and colorless, except for her exceptionally dark and bright eyes, there was nothing particularly eye-catching about her. But the other person seemed to be staring only at her eyes, not at her face.
"Young Master?"
The man withdrew his gaze, gently spurred his horse, and rode away.
Mu Run was baffled as he watched him stop in front of the main gate of the Prime Minister's residence. From inside the vermilion gate, a handsome and tall young man emerged, warmly welcoming him into the residence.
Madam Song said, "That is Li Yilian, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's mansion. He is very generous and kind, and all the maids in the mansion admire him and want to serve him in his room."
"Oh." Mu Run withdrew her gaze, sat up obediently, and stopped looking around.
Looking at her, and seeing that she had no romantic thoughts, Madam Song nodded secretly, "Once you're in the manor, I'll arrange for you to do odd jobs in the kitchen, which might be quite tiring. After you're familiar with the manor, I'll arrange for you to work in the master's courtyard."
“Okay,” Mu Run replied.
The carriage entered the Prime Minister's residence through the back gate.
As Song's mother said, Mu Run was handed over to Su, the kitchen manager, and then she left.
Granny Su and Granny Song didn't get along, so naturally, she treated Mu Run badly and assigned her the tasks of chopping wood and emptying swill.
As for her living quarters, they were dilapidated and small, but fortunately, they were single rooms where she lived alone, making it convenient for her to disguise herself every day.
Mu Run changed into the clothes of a servant in the Prime Minister's mansion, a coarse gray-green cloth skirt, the lowest-ranking maid in the Prime Minister's mansion.
After strapping on the work straps, Mu Run looked at her hands, which had been pampered by Song Mama to a fair and tender state. She thought that it wouldn't be long before they would revert to their rough appearance.
"Who is Jiuge? Get out here and get to work."
"Coming soon."
Mu Run had no time to think further. After packing her things, she went out.
