Chapter 130 How could it be her? No matter who it is, since...
The two must have made too much noise, because the servants in the mansion heard the commotion and came looking for them.
Fu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the servant who was walking over.
The person who came was not Kyoko, but a young man with a relatively unfamiliar face, probably one of the many servants.
He had regular features and fairly handsome eyes, but he was short and thin, looking quite malnourished. Coupled with his pale skin and dull eyes, he lacked the vigor and energy that a young person should have.
He was probably born into a poor family, where he was often hungry and cold, and was sold into service at a young age.
It's strange, really. According to the rules of this matriarchal society, young men here have to stay at home and live with the lady of the house before they get married. But this time, the servants that Zhilan arranged for the Su family to enter the mansion were mostly men, and they were all young men, except for the stewards and grooms who did physical labor.
However, since they were all grown men, Fu Yun wouldn't feel so awkward or unable to speak up when asking them to do something.
He has never really been comfortable ordering women around, always feeling that it's tasteless and lacks gentlemanly manners.
The young man asked respectfully, "Young Master Su, breakfast is ready. Shall I go and bring it to you?"
Fu Yun shook her head and replied, "No need."
Taking this opportunity, he quickly distanced himself from Cheng Jincheng and pushed him in front of the young man: "Give him breakfast first, I'll talk to him later."
Cheng Jincheng turned around and subconsciously retorted, "I'll wait too..."
Fu Jun didn't give him a chance to continue arguing and asked the young man directly, "What's your name?"
The young man replied in a low voice, "My name is Yuan Xin. You may call me whatever you prefer."
Fu Jun nodded, indicating that he understood.
Cheng Jincheng's mouth was slightly open, clearly wanting to interrupt.
Fu Yun didn't intend to say more to him and immediately urged, "Stop dawdling and hurry up and wash up, or breakfast will get cold."
As he spoke, he gave Yuan Xin a wink, signaling him to quickly take the person away.
Xiao Xin was quick to read the room. He looked at Cheng Jincheng and gently reminded him, "Young Master Cheng, please come with me."
Cheng Jincheng glared at Fu Yun, his expression somewhat unwilling, but he didn't persist. He just muttered under his breath, "You can run away on the first day of the month, but you can't hide on the fifteenth. Sooner or later, I'll get your goddess out of you."
Fu Jun shrugged, not caring, and turned to exercise.
He first found a quiet place to do a set of warm-up exercises, and then started running laps around the huge Su mansion.
The servants of the Su family had already gotten up and were busy with their own tasks. When they saw Fu Yun running past, they all stopped what they were doing and looked over, their faces showing shock.
When Fu Yun bumped into someone, she habitually greeted them, "Good morning!"
The servants were all stunned and flattered.
When I met Young Master Su yesterday, he seemed somewhat reluctant. I thought he looked down on us servants, since we were all men of low status and not worthy of serving in wealthy households.
But today it is clear that this is not the case; Young Master Su is probably not fond of noise and prefers quiet.
Only when that graceful figure gradually disappeared into the distance did the servants who were wiping windows and sweeping the yard come to their senses and look at each other.
One of the servants broke the silence: "Young Master Su's actions, could it be the fitness exercise that's been all the rage lately?"
"Is that even a question? Of course, it's the method mentioned in the poster that can make you healthier. It's said that this is a new idea that our young master Su came up with!"
"I've seen the poster. The little figures drawn on the paper are so unique and interesting. I must say, Young Master Su is truly remarkable!"
"Indeed! Young Master Su truly deserves to be called the most handsome man in our Lingzhou City. He is both talented and good-looking, and his charm is unparalleled. He can even think of novel things that others have never thought of."
"Not only that! Yesterday, Young Master Su was having so much fun playing with all the new gadgets at the training ground! I wonder if you guys went to see them?"
"Of course I've heard about it. Everyone is praising Young Master Su for his brilliant mind. Even the people around him are outstanding individuals. It is truly an honor for us to be selected to serve in the Su family."
"That's right. Just two months ago, people were saying that the young master of the Su family was seriously ill and wouldn't live much longer. Now it seems that young master Su is doing very well. Those people are really too vicious, actually cursing our young master Su."
"That's right, that's right. Our young master Su has a rosy complexion and a radiant spirit. He is bound to be a blessed person who lives to be a hundred years old."
"Young Master Su's health wasn't very good before, but now he's getting healthier and healthier, which is related to his daily diligent practice. If possible, I would also like to practice with Young Master Su!"
"Yes! Young Master Su is full of energy. The way he runs is so exhilarating and makes one's heart itch to join in. I wish I could join in the fun someday."
"What are you thinking? People like us, where would we get the chance to hone our skills? Let's just get back to work!"
"Sigh, you're right."
When Fu Yun was running laps, he just passed by them in a flash, so he naturally didn't hear the servants in the mansion having a heated discussion about him.
He ran three full laps around the Su residence before returning to the temporary fitness aids that Cheng Jincheng had set up, where he stopped to do stretching exercises after his run.
Afterwards, they did some other muscle-building exercises. After the whole process, Fu Yun was exhausted, drenched in sweat, and her legs were sore.
Despite the exhaustion, the feeling after exercising was particularly exhilarating and refreshing.
When Fu Yun finished exercising and returned to her dormitory, she saw Xiao Jingzi quietly waiting at the door.
Upon seeing Fu Yun appear, he hurried over and respectfully asked, "Your Excellency, hot water has been prepared inside. Would you like to take a bath first, or have breakfast first?"
Fu Yun said, "We're not in the palace now, so don't call me 'Your Highness' anymore. Just address me like everyone else."
Xiao Jingzi replied obediently, "Yes, Your Highness."
Fu Yun: "..."
He glanced at Xiao Jingzi speechlessly, said nothing more to him, and stepped into the house.
Xiao Jingzi followed her in and asked, "Your Excellency, would you like to have your meal first, or..."
Fu Yun walked towards the bathtub behind the screen: "I'll take a bath first."
Xiao Jingzi was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed and reached out to take off Fu Yun's outer garment.
Fu Yun raised her hand to stop him: "I can do it myself."
Xiao Jingzi had no choice but to step aside and wait until her master finished bathing before helping him change his clothes.
After taking off her outer garment, Fu Yun noticed out of the corner of her eye that Xiao Jingzi was still inside, so she said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Go eat first, and come back later."
Xiao Jingzi said urgently, "Absolutely not! You haven't eaten yet, how can I overstep my bounds?"
Fu Yun waved her hand: "It's okay, just listen to me. I won't be done washing up that quickly. You can come over after you finish breakfast."
Xiao Jingzi looked troubled: "But..."
Fu Yun was direct: "Just go when I tell you to. Why all the fuss? Do you think my words don't carry any weight with you?"
"No, no." Xiao Jingzi waved her hands in fright: "You are the master, how dare I disobey you? But if I do that, it will be against the rules, and if I don't serve you well, it will be my dereliction of duty."
Fu Yun said, "Since you're going to listen to me, then I'll let you go eat. Why are you still arguing with me?"
Xiao Jingzi: "This..."
Fu Yun lost her patience, her expression turning cold: "Alright, stop wasting time, hurry up and go."
Xiao Jingzi shrugged and had no choice but to compromise: "Alright then! I'll go first. If you need anything, just call out and someone else will come to serve you."
Fu Yun waved her hand, indicating that he understood and should leave quickly.
Xiao Jingzi then left the room and carefully closed the door.
Fu Yun washed away her fatigue, then got up, dressed, and went to the table to eat breakfast.
Just as he put down his chopsticks, Xiao Jingzi's voice rang out from behind him: "Young Master Su, Steward Wen sent me to inform you that someone is requesting an audience outside."
Fu Yun was slightly surprised. The fact that Steward Wen used the word "request an audience" indicated that he was not someone they knew well.
Who could it be? Coming to see him so early in the morning?
Fu Yun picked up a handkerchief from the dining table, wiped her mouth, and turned to walk out the door.
Two people were standing outside the door: one was Xiao Jingzi, and the other was Yuan Xin, who had taken Cheng Jincheng to have breakfast.
Fu Yun asked Xiao Jingzi, "Is the person who came male or female? Do you know them?"
Xiao Jingzi shook her head: "She is a young woman, I don't know her, but Steward Wen may know her."
Fu Yun looked at Yuan Xin and asked, "Where did Cheng Jincheng go after breakfast? I haven't seen him."
Yuan Xin said, "Young Master, Young Master Cheng was called away by General Wen on his way to find you after finishing his breakfast."
Fu Yun asked in confusion, "General Wen? Which General Wen?"
Yuan Xin was stunned for a moment, seemingly unsure how to answer. Xiao Jingzi spoke up to clear things up for him: "Young Master, General Wen is General Qian's subordinate."
A thought flashed through Fu Yun's mind, and a figure appeared in his mind. He asked, "Is the name of the military advisor Wen Qin?"
Xiao Jingzi asked in surprise, "You know her?"
Fu Yun said, "We met once before. She helped me a few days ago along with General Qian."
Xiao Jingzi laughed and said, "I see, that really is fate!"
Fu Jun nodded, asked no further questions, and walked towards the front yard.
Since it was Wen Qin who came to see Cheng Jincheng, it doesn't matter much. It's probably General Qian who has something to ask him.
As for the person seeking an audience outside, the fact that Steward Wen sent Xiao Jingzi to inform him proves that this person is not a dangerous individual.
He glanced back and saw that only Xiao Jingzi was with him, while Yuan Xin had stayed behind, presumably to tidy up the house.
When Fu Yun entered the front hall, the moment Steward Wen's gaze fell on Fu Yun's face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by a smile as he asked, "Young Master, did you not sleep well last night?"
Fu Yun smiled awkwardly: "A little, but it's okay, I can catch up on some sleep later."
He met Steward Wen's gaze and was about to ask her who had come to see him when he looked at her features and suddenly remembered where the feeling that she looked familiar came from.
Steward Wen and Wen Qin look somewhat alike, so they are probably related by blood or are relatives.
He asked, "Steward Wen, what is your relationship with Wen Qin?"
Steward Wen was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "You've seen my daughter before?"
Fu Yun understood; it was indeed because of their blood relation, no wonder they looked somewhat alike.
"She helped me at the training camp three days ago."
Steward Wen smiled and said, "It is my honor to be able to share the young master's worries."
Fu Yun touched her nose and changed the subject: "Did the coachman come today? The person who temporarily replaced her yesterday disappeared halfway through the journey."
Steward Wen paused for a moment, then looked apologetic: "The groom returned early this morning. I'm so sorry for the trouble caused by the poor arrangements yesterday."
Fu Yun waved her hand: "It's alright, as long as everyone is safe."
Although the substitute the groom found was suspicious in his behavior and might have other motives, it was not appropriate to say so directly to Steward Wen.
Fu Yun stopped talking and got back to the main topic: "Xiao Jingzi just said someone was looking for me outside?"
Steward Wen composed himself and said seriously, "Indeed, is it convenient for the young master to receive guests at this time?"
Fu Yun asked, "Do you know that person?"
Steward Wen shook his head: "I've heard of him, but I've never had any dealings with him."
Fu Yun remained silent for a moment before saying, "Let her in!"
Whoever it is, they must have their reasons for coming here, so things will be fine.
"yes."
Steward Wen instructed the servants outside the hall, "Invite the person in."
Fu Yun entered the hall, walked to the main seat and sat down. Steward Wen stood beside Fu Yun, while Xiao Jing stood to the side, ready to give orders at any time.
When footsteps sounded at the entrance of the hall, Fu Yun looked up and was surprised: "How could it be her?"
