Guo'er patted Mu Run on the shoulder, "Go ahead, I think it's a good idea. What if Young Master Yun takes a liking to you and decides to take you as a concubine?"
"Do you think that's possible?" Mu Run interrupted her, pointing to his own face.
"Haha, haha~" Guo'er chuckled awkwardly, "Maybe Young Master Yun likes someone like you... well, someone simple and unpretentious."
"Impossible!" Mu Run sighed. "I have no problem doing chores, but it's really easy to make mistakes when serving people. And if you make a mistake, you'll be punished."
"If you really don't want to, you must tell the eldest young master in person that you will not serve Young Master Yun. Go quickly, or you will be punished if you keep the masters waiting."
"Okay." Mu Run touched his empty pocket. "I'll pay you back the money I just gave you after I get paid. You have younger siblings to support, so I can't let you spend money like this."
"Don't mention it, we're just helping each other out."
...
Mu Run followed Su Su to Qionglin Pavilion.
Susu led her into the house and then left.
Because Li Yingyu was injured, the entire Prime Minister's residence was in chaos, and Li Yilian couldn't attend to this matter, so he wasn't here. Only Yun Rong was reading in the study.
"Um...Young Master Yun, I'm new to the Prime Minister's residence. I've been doing menial tasks in the kitchen, so I'm not very good at serving you." Mu Run's words were a polite way of declining to be his maid.
Yun Rong put down the book in her hand, raised her thick, long eyelashes, and looked at her calmly. "The Prime Minister's residence is currently looking for a third-class maid, saying that she injured the eldest young lady, Li Yingyu. Do you know who that person is?"
Mu Run's heart skipped a beat, but she feigned ignorance. "What third-class maid?"
Yun Rong laughed and said, "Back then, you were the only third-class maid in the garden."
Mu Run: "..."
Yun Rong tapped the table lightly with his long, slender fingers. "Go and make some tea."
"This servant hasn't agreed to serve you, young master." Mu Run frowned.
Yun Rong stood up and walked over to her, pinching her thin, pointed chin, "Good girl~"
The word, the voice—exactly the same! Mu Run's pupils widened instantly. "You! Fu Yunchen!"
"Go make some tea!" Yun Rong patted her head again.
...
In the small kitchen of Qionglin Pavilion, Mu Run sat in front of the stove in a daze, her mind a jumbled mess.
he!
He was actually Fu Yunchen!
Why is this bandit leader Yun Rong? What's wrong with his face?!
He knows the art of disguise!
No wonder he stared into her eyes at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence. Because while faces can change, eyes cannot.
But where did his heterochromatic eyes go? Could it be that his disguise technique can even change his eyes?
The water in the pot boiled, steaming upwards, but Mu Run remained motionless, lost in her own thoughts.
"The water is boiling."
Fu Yunchen stood at the door of the small kitchen, carrying an exquisitely crafted mahogany briefcase.
Mu Run twisted her stiff neck. "Why?"
"Then why are you here?" Fu Yunchen went into the small kitchen and placed the box next to her.
Mu Run looked up at his face. "I was kidnapped."
“She was kidnapped at first, but later she acted according to her own will.” Fu Yunchen looked into her eyes. “Isn’t that right?”
"I...I want to rise to prominence, to transform from an ugly duckling into a swan, from a sparrow into a phoenix." Mu Run curled the corner of his mouth.
“Follow me, and you too can become a phoenix.” Fu Yunchen looked into her eyes, his words resolute.
Mu Run turned her head away, refusing to let him see.
"I'm thirsty. Make me a pot of tea. After you finish drinking, I'll see you off." Fu Yunchen turned and left the small kitchen.
Several servants from the Prime Minister's residence arrived, bringing with them a considerable amount of goods.
The head steward said to Fu Yunchen, "Young Master Yun, the eldest young master asked me to bring you some necessities. Please see if you need anything else."
