Not long after, Ali and Hu Zi returned to the kitchen of the manor.
Many people knew Ah Li and knew that she was the young master's head maid. Knowing that she was there for a meal, they quickly made arrangements.
Tiger and Ali found a table and sat down. Tiger handed chopsticks to Ali and said, "Sister Yue Li, it's lucky that I came with you this time. Otherwise, I sometimes don't even have food when I come late."
As Ahri ate her rice, she noticed two pieces of fatty meat and some vegetables in the bowl, a stark contrast to what she usually ate at Wang Zhixian's place.
Ali gave two pieces of fatty meat to Hu Zi, saying, "Here, have some. I don't like this."
"Sister Yue Li, you're so good to me!"
Tiger was overjoyed; it was meat!
Tiger wolfed down his food, finishing the bowl of rice in no time.
Ah Li finished eating, and Hu Zi quickly took Ah Li's bowl and his own bowl away. "Sister Yue Li, you sit down, I'll take them to wash."
Ahri wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, ignoring the stares from those around her.
This manor is vast, with many maids, servants, and guards. Currently, the only masters living in the manor are the old lady and the eldest young master.
The second young master, along with the master and mistress, are all away doing business, and their return date is uncertain.
Just then, two maids carrying bowls prepared to serve their food, whispering, "Have you heard? The old lady has decided that the eldest young master should take the laurel."
"Sister Yuegui is very fond of the eldest young master, and the old lady has noticed it too."
"What about Sister Yue Li?"
"Shh! Stop talking, let's eat quickly, we still have things to do later."
Two maids, who were just ordinary servants, brought the food and sat down in the corner to eat.
Tiger finished washing the dishes and came over to Ali, saying, "Sister Yue Li, I'm done. Let's go."
"good."
When Ah Li thought about how she called him "Brother Tiger" in front of Wang Zhixian, while he called her "Sister Yue Li," she felt a subtle sense of unease, as if they were talking about different things.
Also, Yuegui is someone who has a system space, and Wang Zhixian is her mission target.
She saved the cannon fodder male supporting characters.
The male protagonist of this world is the second young master, Wang Zhilu.
In the original owner's memories, the second young master was a genius with a brilliant mind and extraordinary wisdom and strategy.
In terms of martial arts, the second young master's skills have reached the pinnacle, like a dragon soaring through the heavens or a tiger roaring in the mountains. Every move he makes is precise and ruthless.
Rumor has it that in the martial arts world today, the Second Young Master's martial arts skills are unparalleled, and no one can rival him.
The second young master is such a flawless being, inspiring both admiration and awe.
Okay, that's the standard setup for a male lead.
Ahri raised her hand and waved it, as if trying to shake the image of the second young master out of her mind.
The original owner had a very strong bias towards the second young master.
Tiger glanced at Ali and wondered if Sister Yueli was swatting flies or mosquitoes.
It's so cold, there probably isn't any.
Tiger didn't ask any questions and continued to collect dew with Ali.
When the sun began to shine overhead, Ali and Hu Zi lit a fire and sat there to warm themselves.
Tiger glanced around. He was always sweeping and cleaning around the village, never daring to slack off for a moment.
He's quite happy that he can not only get a monthly allowance but also sit and rest.
Ah Li stretched out her hands to warm herself by the fire, while Hu Zi grinned foolishly.
He was also thinking that when he went back to eat, he should eat more and wear more clothes, because they would come back after dark.
Ali and Hu Zi didn't just sit there warming themselves by the fire. They would go around to find some dry branches, and if there were any wet ones, they would pick them up and put them by the fire to warm themselves.
By the time they had collected a small pile of branches, it was almost dark.
Tiger rubbed his stomach; he was hungry again.
"Let's go back and have dinner."
This time, they didn't bring the pottery jar back with them.
Because I need to bring warm clothes up later, it's inconvenient.
At this moment, the manor was brightly lit. Ali and Hu Zi went to the kitchen, where it was bustling with activity.
Ah Li walked up to a cook and asked, "Is the second young master back?"
"Yes, Miss Yue Li, I've prepared your and Hu Zi's meal, and I've also prepared some steamed buns and water for you."
When they came for lunch, Hu Zi was carrying a pottery jar. Both of them had mud on their feet and some water stains on their clothes. The cook noticed this and knew that the two of them were doing errands for their master.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Ali and Huzi went to eat.
After finishing their meal, Tiger went back to his room to get some warm clothes, while Ali waited outside.
A little while later, Tiger came out with a small bundle on his back and said, "Sister Yue Li, I brought two extra warm clothes. You can wear them if you get cold later."
Ahri replied, "Okay, thank you."
Ah Li was still carrying the steamed buns and water prepared by the cook as they continued up the mountain. Hu Zi now carried a torch to light their way.
On the other side, Wang Zhixian sat in the house with a sullen face, while Yuegui knelt in the middle of the courtyard, trembling. She had been kneeling there all day.
While drinking tea, Wang Zhilu glanced at the fruit on the table and then at the kneeling laurel tree.
Xinghua and Chunhua kept looking out of the courtyard; Sister Yueli hadn't shown up all day.
"Brother, why don't you go and rest first? I'll keep watch over things here for you."
Wang Zhilu showed no mercy to women; he valued his elder brother and didn't want him to fall ill again because of unrelated people.
Just as Xinghua and Chunhua were about to go inside, Wang Zhixian spoke up, "No need to make a fuss, I'll just sit here."
Wang Zhilu said to the servant beside him, "Go and bring the heater over, lest my elder brother get cold."
At the same time, he was also quite impressed with the head maid who was kneeling. She had been kneeling for a whole day, but she had not only not fainted from the cold, but her complexion had not changed at all.
When Yuegui saw Wang Zhilu looking at her, she instantly felt a chill run down her spine; he was suspicious of her!
Yes, she's been kneeling all day; she should be unconscious by now.
The problem is, if she faints, can she be carried back to her room? If not, what's the point of her fainting?
Besides, is it really a matter of whether I'm dizzy or not?
It's because this young master has changed. He no longer cherishes women. Wasn't he the one who listened to the old lady the most?
Just thinking about how she changed into her beautiful new clothes early this morning and came back with the old lady.
She didn't go inside; instead, she stayed outside the house.
Inside the house, the old lady's voice could be faintly heard, "Zhixian, you're not getting any younger. Shouldn't you find someone who understands your feelings?"
The young master's voice was low, and his answer was unclear.
The old lady's voice rang out again, "I see that your head maid is loyal to you, good-looking, and has a good personality. She has been with you for many years and you know her well. Take her in today. If she can give birth to a son or daughter, remove her from the slave status and make her a concubine."
A short while later, the old lady came out and said to Yuegui earnestly, "Take good care of the young master."
Yuegui was overjoyed. With the old lady's words, it meant that the young master had agreed!
