A sudden rain washed away the heat in the city, and the colorful light above our heads seemed like an auspicious omen.
Before the moisture on the ground had dissipated, a human trafficker stepped on the water and led a dazed little maid away from the Xiao family.
"Wow——" The little maid was a little dazed. She only started crying when she was far away from the Xiao Mansion!
"Mother Liu! The Seventh Young Master is performing a ritual in the yard! Every time he waves his hand, there is a loud roar of thunder. It's so scary..." The little maidservant sobbed and trembled at the thought of the scene she saw.
Mother Liu's heart tightened. "If I had known you were so timid, I wouldn't have sent you here. This Seventh Young Master has been in Beijing for a short time, and you're the third one to be driven out... Never mind, it's good that you didn't get scared silly. I'll find you a good family tomorrow..."
The seventh young master of the Xiao family had been studying abroad for many years, and in just two months since he came back, he had already caused a lot of trouble.
On the first day he returned to Beijing, he scribbled all over the big stone lions at the gate of the Xiao Mansion with blood.
A few days later, the Seventh Young Master actually went to the mass grave outside the city, brought back a corpse, and banged the drum in the yamen, insisting that the man had died unjustly!
It was so absurd to outsiders, and even more terrible at home. Three new maids were sent out and three were brought back. One of them was so scared that she became stupid and has not been cured to this day!
Such a ridiculous temper is really exhausting for the servants.
At this time, the seventh young master Xiao Cunyu, who was considered to be possessed by an evil spirit in the eyes of others, was breathing evenly and trying hard to fall asleep.
Compared to the days of sleeping in the open air in the past, living in her uncle's house now is really safe. She has her own independent yard and servants to take care of her. The only drawback is that her eldest brother always has to send her a maid.
Fortunately, this time the maid only peeked at her doing it. If she had peeked at her taking a bath, it would have been a big trouble.
Her mind was full of random thoughts, her eyelids were getting heavier, and when her consciousness was in chaos, she heard faint footsteps. Within two breaths, she felt a sharp pain in her waist.
"Ouch!!!" Xiao Cunyu gasped and rolled onto the bed in an instant.
"Xiao Cunyu!" Another harsh shout was heard in my ears.
She looked up with resentment, saw the person coming, and immediately said pitifully: "Brother, why are you hitting me..."
Her face was pale, her pair of black and white eyes showed innocence and pity, her lips were slightly pouting, and her delicate appearance made her even more vulnerable.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Jingyun couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but when he thought of what he had done, the anger immediately rose in his heart again.
"I'm going to hit you! Tell me, what did you do yesterday? How come the maid serving you fainted from fright, and almost made another fool? Do you know how people outside judge you? Ridiculous and naughty! You're already sixteen, and you still want to indulge yourself like this!?" Xiao Jingyun was very disappointed.
I didn't expect that this brat would ruin his reputation completely in less than two months!
"Brother, you don't even listen to my explanation..." Xiao Cunyu woke up from his trance and rubbed his head like a frightened little animal.
She raised her eyes and looked over sincerely, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Xiao Jingyun almost felt guilty because of her pitiful appearance.
This younger brother is very handsome.
At this moment, his lazy look revealed an air of harmlessness, like a piece of pure white and flawless warm jade. One look at him made one feel at ease. Compared with him, the other brothers of the Xiao family were all born crude!
But! This appearance is all an illusion!
"Okay, explain it to me. I want to listen." Xiao Jingyun was patient and wanted to see what kind of words she would come up with.
