Chapter 31 A Surface of Self-Discipline and Restraint, a Soul of Madness and Evil
The head chef deliberately went closer to take a look, wanting to see clearly what the little thief who stole so much of his food actually looked like.
After looking closely, he frowned: "Is it her? She doesn't look like it. She's a clean-cut young girl. Could you have made a mistake?"
"After washing for two or three hours, how could it not be clean?"
Lansing shook his wrist, marveling that he had never taken such a long bath in his life.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Head Chef, from now on she's one of our Qiwu Garden people. Please be magnanimous and forgive her."
The head chef looked at the little girl in front of him with a strange expression.
By all accounts, he doesn't seem like someone who can eat eight dishes in one meal.
"Shall I give you a name?"
Yun Si turned to look at the girl beside her and was surprised to find that she was not intimidated at all in front of so many people. If anyone dared to stare at her, she would stare back directly.
His eyes were clear yet sharp, like a wolf cub who was still innocent and naive.
Upon hearing Yun Si's voice, the girl looked up at Yun Si and nodded vigorously.
Judging from this, her hearing and comprehension are fine; the only question is whether she can speak.
"Would you like to share my last name?"
Yun Si guided her to speak: "If you agree, say 'okay'; if you disagree, say 'no'."
The girl nodded vigorously in agreement.
But he just wouldn't speak.
This matter cannot be rushed, and Yun Si did not force it.
"Then, how about you be called Yunwu?"
Yunwu nodded again, but this time, she grinned, expressing her liking for the name.
Yun Si smiled and patted her head.
The people in the courtyard were stunned by what they saw and secretly marveled at the incredible sight.
In most people's minds, Master Yun is an extremely cold and ruthless person. She never shows a kind face to His Highness or to them, her servants. No one knows that she has such a gentle and patient side.
Not to mention these people, even Qin Ye, watching from the side, had a fluctuating expression on his face, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Anyone who knows him would know how much he struggles and how complicated his inner world is if they saw him like this right now.
On the surface, he appears self-disciplined, aloof, and indifferent, but in reality, he possesses a mad and evil soul.
"Gentlemen."
Yun Si faced the crowd and said in a calm voice, "From today onwards, A Wu is a member of my Qi Wu Yuan. She didn't know the rules before and caused a lot of trouble and problems for everyone, especially the head chef. Here, I apologize to everyone on her behalf."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and bent over slightly.
Seeing this, Yunwu followed suit and bowed her head and bent over to face everyone, just like Yunsi.
"Please rest assured, I promise that A-Wu will reform herself and will no longer steal food. Please be understanding towards her."
"Master Yun."
Granny Qian was the first to stand up and express her opinion.
"You're exaggerating. Since you trust this young girl A-Wu, how can we, as servants, have any complaints? Please don't say that; it's too much for us."
"Thank you, Granny."
Yun Si understood that Granny Qian's words were meant to silence those who might still harbor resentment towards A Wu.
Since Granny Qian has already said that, what else could they possibly say?
"If there are any damaged areas in the mansion, you can come to Qiwu Garden to settle the repair costs with me."
"This is not..."
Just as Granny Qian was about to say no, Qin Ye, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, his voice cold and emotionless: "Everyone, disperse. Go do what you were doing."
Everyone bowed and took their leave.
Mu Ze whispered a few words to Qin Ye before leaving with his guards.
Once only Yun Si and a few others remained in the courtyard, Qin Ye walked towards her.
Lansing and Lu Yu were quick-witted and immediately ran away.
After taking a few steps, Lu Yu turned back to look at Yun Wu again.
"Awu, shall I show you your room?"
Yunwu didn't react.
Lu Yu added, "There's also something delicious to eat."
Hearing about delicious food is like hearing some special instruction.
Yunwu's eyes darted around immediately, but she didn't move, instead turning her gaze to Yunsi.
Yun Si smiled and nodded at her before she turned and followed Lu Yu away.
They're quite obedient.
A smile of relief appeared on Yun Si's lips as a shadow fell over her head, and a cool, aloof aura wafted towards her.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Qin Ye standing in front of her, his dark eyes fixed on her face, as if some emotion was surging in his eyes, but he suppressed it.
"Your Highness?"
Yun Si couldn't figure out this man's temper at all. She didn't know which word, action, or expression she made would offend him.
"What's wrong?"
"fine."
Qin Ye didn't say anything, he just stared at her intently for a moment before turning to leave.
Yun Si grabbed him and said, "Qin Ye, tell me quickly."
"say what?"
"I can tell you're unhappy."
"..."
Qin Ye stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "It's really nothing, don't overthink it."
Yun Si looked at him suspiciously.
"Someone from the Ministry of War has arrived. I'll go there first."
"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."
After Qin Ye left, Qiwu Garden returned to complete tranquility.
The farce has finally come to an end.
As dusk fell.
“Master.”
As Yun Si came out of the pharmacy, Lan Xin came over to her and said, "Dinner is ready. A Wu has already eaten three bowls of rice. Lu Yu was afraid that she would overeat, so he didn't dare to give her any more."
"I'll go take a look."
She turned and walked towards the dining hall, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, remember to save a portion for His Highness."
These days, Qin Ye often comes over to have dinner with her. At first, she was used to eating alone, and when Qin Ye came, Qiwu Garden was never prepared, which often led to... awkward silences.
This habit needs to be changed.
Finally, Qin Ye started to take the initiative to find her. She couldn't let her old habits drive him away again.
"Never mind."
Yun Si thought for a moment, then changed her mind: "I won't eat yet, I'll wait for him to come and we'll eat together."
"What if His Highness doesn't come tonight?"
Lansing chuckled to herself, "Wouldn't the master be waiting for nothing?"
"Then go and call him here."
Yun Si rolled her eyes at her: "Just tell him I'm waiting for him to have dinner together, and ask him to come over as soon as he's done with his work."
"good."
Lansing readily agreed.
The master has finally seen the light.
How could life not be good?
In the dining hall, Yunwu was eating rice from her bowl without any regard for her image. There were four empty bowls on the table in front of her.
Didn't you say you'd already eaten three bowls?
Including the bowl in her hand, that makes five bowls.
Seeing Yun Si come in, Yun Wu stopped eating and stood up, looking at her with her big, round eyes.
"Please sit down."
Yun Si sat down next to her and put a piece of braised pork into her bowl: "You should eat slower in the future. No one will take it from you. Eating too fast is bad for your stomach."
Ah Wu nodded while staring at the braised pork, as if she was struggling with something.
Don't like eating meat?
Just as Yun Si was wondering what was going on, she saw A Wu pick up the piece of meat and put it in her bowl.
This is……
Yun Si paused for a moment before she understood.
Ah Wu wanted her to eat too.
Surprisingly, this seemingly wild and untamed girl also knows how to share.
Yun Si cut the meat in half, then put one half back to her and said softly, "Let's eat together."
After finishing the meal.
Yun Si spoke to her very seriously about some of the rules of the Prince's Palace.
What can be done, and what absolutely cannot be done.
"You're not allowed to sneak food into the kitchen anymore."
If they steal food again, the head chef will have a breakdown.
"No one is allowed to touch or eat anything in other people's courtyards that doesn't belong to Qiwu Garden."
"You can't leave the palace at will. If you really want to go out, you can tell me, or Lu Yu and Lan Xin, but you can't run around on your own."
"Also, you need to take baths more often, not like before."
Yun Si recalled the grime she saw when she bathed her today and couldn't help but rub her forehead: "You need to wash more often from now on, understand?"
"oh."
A-Wu nodded vigorously, agreeing with everything Yun-Si said.
Upon hearing Yun Si's last sentence, she let out a soft "oh" sound.
Then he looked down and smelled his now fragrant sleeves, and smiled happily.
Upon hearing her "Oh," Yun Si was excited: "A-Wu, you can talk?"
A-Wu stared blankly at Yun Si for a long time before finally uttering a single word: "Yes?"
His voice was a little hoarse, but his pronunciation was clear.
"Very good!"
Yun Si patted her head: "Remember to talk more in the future."
So it's not that she can't speak, but that she hasn't spoken for too long and has forgotten or is not used to speaking.
We'll have to let her gradually get used to it again.
"Get some rest early tonight. After you wake up, I'll give you a check-up tomorrow."
Yun Si asked Lu Yu to take A Wu back to her room, which was next to Lu Yu and Lan Xin's room and not far from Yun Si's main courtyard.
Qiwu Garden is very large, but there are very few people and plenty of empty rooms, so the three of them each have their own private bedroom.
Night was falling.
Yun Si waited for a long time, but Qin Ye did not come.
Lanxin went to the main courtyard to look for him, but Qin Ye was discussing matters in his study, so Lanxin didn't want to disturb him.
She then told De Cai, who was guarding the door, to pass on the message after Qin Ye finished his discussion.
Why haven't they arrived yet?
It's so late, haven't you finished discussing things yet?
Yun Si got sleepy while waiting and, without eating dinner, went back to her room to sleep.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but in the middle of the night, she felt someone enter her room.
Her mind was half-asleep, but she knew in her heart that Qin Ye must have come, so she ignored it and continued to sleep.
Sure enough, the next moment, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
"Your Highness."
Yun Si muttered softly, "I've been waiting for you for ages and you still haven't come..."
Is she waiting for him?
Qin Ye's expression froze slightly.
Immediately, a smile appeared in his eyes, like melting ice and snow, opening up a pool of spring water.
Unfortunately, Yun Si did not see it.
She snuggled closer to Qin Ye, murmuring something in her sleep.
Qin Ye leaned closer and heard her say, "Such a familiar embrace, so warm, so reassuring... Little brother..."
Qin Ye couldn't suppress the urge to smile as he listened to these words, but his breath hitched when he heard the last three words.
The smile on his face instantly froze.
It's this young man again!
Qin Ye restrained himself, barely managing to stop himself from strangling the sleeping woman in his arms.
However, Yun Si was "frozen" awake by the chill emanating from him.
She groggily opened her eyes and, in the darkness, met a pair of cold, dark eyes.
"temple……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a fierce kiss came crashing down on her.
