Chapter 58 You are stupid and blame me
puff……
"I didn't know you would trick me into buying you cakes."
Sheng Xian almost vomited blood. He never thought that such a smart man like him would be tricked by the silly girl Ah Man.
Ah Man took another bite of the cake, her beautiful eyes seemed to be inlaid with gems, she blinked innocently: "I said I would tell you, but I must have known it even if I didn't say it. You are stupid and you blame me."
Sheng Xian: “…”
You're actually right.
Ah Man looked at Sheng Xian's handsome face which suddenly turned ugly with blue and red, and she ran away without saying a word. Well... she couldn't beat him.
Because he had the land deed in his hand, Ah Man hesitated for a moment and decided to return home first.
"Miss, Miss..."
Ah Man's cheerful voice sounded like a lark, and as she shouted, she rushed into the study.
"I ran into Sheng Xian on the street."
"Huh?" Lu Xiang looked at Ah Man blankly: "Who is Sheng Xian?"
"Your Highness's guards are here on His Highness' orders to deliver the land deed to the young lady." Ah Man said as she handed the thing in her arms to Lu Xiang.
Looking at the two thin pieces of paper in front of him, Lu Xiang was stunned.
You got the title deed so quickly?
The prince will know the outcome as soon as he makes a move.
"How much?"
Ah Man was carefully placing the cakes that Sheng Xian bought for her on a plate. When she heard Lu Xiang's question, she was very confused: "What?"
"How much silver did your Highness spend on buying the mountain?"
She has to pay. She can't ask someone to do something for her and then make him spend money.
Ah Man didn't know what she was thinking of. She suddenly raised her middle finger seriously and shook it seriously: "Miss, you are wrong. This servant belongs to you and has nothing to do with Your Highness."
When His Highness asked her to come to the Lu Mansion, he told her very solemnly that from now on, her master would only be the third young lady of the Lu Mansion.
Lu Xiang: “…”
"I don't know how much money Your Highness spent on buying the mountain." Ah Man said heartlessly, and then she concentrated and carefully arranged the snacks. After all the snacks were arranged, she happily held up the plate and brought it to Lu Xiang: "Miss, this is the snack from Pinweizhai that I deceived Sheng Xian to buy. There are many people lining up, so it's hard to buy. I tried one, it's so sweet and delicious."
The dim sum at Pinweizhai is well-known in Yangning City. The owner would send some to the old lady every now and then to curry favor with her. Lu Xiang would always find the time to go and eat, and the taste and texture were really amazing.
Just... a lie?
"What did you lie to Sheng Xian about?" Lu Xiang picked up a piece and asked.
"He asked me what the young lady was going to do with the mountain, so I asked him to buy some cakes and tell him... He thought I was easy to fool and left without saying anything. It was the first time I realized that Sheng Xian was so stupid. Not to mention that I didn't know what the young lady was going to do with the mountain, even if I knew, I couldn't tell him easily."
Well……
Lu Xiang suddenly felt that the pastry in his mouth was filled with a strong sense of sadness, and then he was amused by Ah Man's excited look.
She suddenly understood why Ah Man had just seriously corrected her that she had nothing to do with Chu Jinyan. It turned out that this girl had believed that she was her master ever since she entered the Lu Mansion.
An indescribable warmth flowed through my heart, for Ah Man's honesty, and also... a trace of gratitude towards Chu Jinyan.
Only when Ah Man wholeheartedly serves her as his master, Lu Xiang dares to use her with confidence.
"It's very well done." Lu Xiang stuffed a piece of dessert into Ah Man's mouth. "I'm going to have dinner at my grandmother's house tonight. The spicy beef made by Mother Wen is delicious. Can you handle spicy food? I'll ask Mother Wen to make some more for you."
Ah Man felt the sweet taste in his mouth, and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and he nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Eat eat eat.
She likes everything as long as it's not bitter.
Oh, the Third Miss is so nice to her.
"Thank you, Miss. I will leave the house now."
"Where are you going?"
"Keep looking for people."
Lu Xiang smiled gently and put the plate of snacks into Ah Man's hand: "Take the snacks and eat them. There is no rush to find someone. I will go tomorrow."
"Then..." Ah Man felt that she should listen to what the young lady said. She scratched the back of her head and grinned, "Then I will share the snacks with everyone."
We all work together in Qixiayuan, so we should share the delicious food together.
"Go ahead."
After getting Lu Xiang's approval, Ah Man left happily.
In order to get information out of her, Sheng Xian was very sincere. Knowing that Ah Man loved to eat, he bought a lot for her. Ah Man kept a small portion for herself and distributed the rest to everyone.
"Tsk, you're treating me like a beggar with this crappy snack."
"Hongyin, keep your voice down."
"What are you afraid of? How is that idiot Ah Man better than us? We entered the mansion together, so why is she a first-class maid while we have to be exposed to the wind and sun as just handymen?" The resentment in Hong Yin's heart grew heavier as time went by.
Originally, everyone started from the bottom and relied on their abilities to win the favor of their masters.
Yunzha and Wuyue have followed the Third Young Lady since they were young, and Hongyin obeys her from the bottom of her heart, but what about A’man?
Mingming was stupid and dumb, and was originally assigned to pull weeds and catch insects in the garden. I don't know what kind of luck he had to be brought back to Qixiayuan by the third lady.
But even so, I should start as a maid doing odd jobs like them.
"Stop talking, be careful that the Third Miss hears." Mu Jin frowned and looked at the complaining Hong Yin with some disapproval: "The old lady values the Third Miss and specially picked the three of us to serve her. Even though we are just maids doing odd jobs now, the Third Miss treats us kindly and never criticizes us. The work in Qixia Courtyard is also the easiest. It is our blessing to be able to serve such a master. We can't forget the hardships in the past just because we have achieved good things."
Why doesn’t Hong Yin think about this? If they were not chosen to come to the Lu Mansion, but went to live with a master with a bad temper, would they be able to live the comfortable life they have now with fear every day?
She was not convinced that Ah Man was promoted to a first-class maid by the third lady as soon as she arrived, but why didn't Hong Yin think about their miserable days in the past? Her only wish at the beginning was to meet a good master, and now that they had their wish, Hong Yin's ambition began to grow wildly like weeds.
This is courting death, you know?
"That's right." Yuxiang nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the two of them did not stand on the same line with her but instead lectured her, Hong Yin was so angry that her eyes and mouth were crooked: "Humph, we were carefully trained in the first place, originally for the sake of the big maid beside the master, I don't believe that you two will accept it."
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Mu Jin glared at her fiercely and said, "You have to hold it in even if you don't agree. I can't stop you from eating."
Hong Yin was frightened by Mu Jin's sudden fierce momentum and choked. She stiffened her neck and her face turned blue and red. After a while, she angrily picked up the snacks on the plate and stuffed them into her mouth as if to vent her anger.
I won't say it... Hmm? It's quite delicious.
