Master Bao was caught off guard and was pushed so lightly by Baihao that his body involuntarily leaned forward. He staggered two steps and saw Mingyu looking at him. His face immediately turned red as if blood was dripping out. His mind was in a panic, and all he could think was "She saw it!"
Mingyu was puzzled as to what this idiot wanted to do so early in the morning.
Master Bao, relying on his height and long legs, took a big step and hid behind the tree again. Looking at Bai Hao who was grinning after doing something bad, he could not help getting angry and said in a low voice: "It's all your fault. She saw it!" As he said that, he raised his hand as if to start a fight.
Baihao saw that he had hit a big target this time and had touched the Second Master's taboo, so he quickly begged for mercy and whispered, "I know I was wrong, Second Master, please forgive me!"
Bao Erye and Baihao had been friends since they were young, and they had played around a lot on weekdays, so how could Bao Erye really beat him? Bao Erye was just looking for an excuse to vent his shyness. Seeing that Baihao begged for mercy, he put down his hand in disappointment and was ready to look around again, thinking that maybe the little girl didn't see him.
Baihao looked at Master Bao's thief-like back and sneered, "Master, you're trying to please others but don't want anyone to see you. What's going on?"
Master Bao turned around, his handsome face slightly red, and scolded fiercely: "What nonsense! How did I please her?"
Baihao looked at his master's useless appearance and suddenly felt his back teeth start to ache again.
Mingyu waited for a while, but didn't see Master Bao come out again. She couldn't help but said in the direction where Master Bao was hiding: "Come out, I see you."
Master Bao, who was hiding behind the tree, felt nervous, but he didn't want to lose face in front of the little girl. He straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, and walked out from behind the tree with his head held high. He pretended to be indifferent and glanced at the brocade box on the stool, and asked, "Do you like these?"
He tried hard to pretend that it was not a big deal, but his tone was really awkward.
"Our young master broke into someone else's shop before dawn and bought this specifically for the Second Madam!" Bai Hao quickly interrupted at the right time.
Master Bao glared at Baihao. Who told him to be so nosy? However, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Mingyu, wanting to see how the little girl would react to what he said.
Of course Mingyu could only curl her lips in disdain in her heart. This was something that a dog boy could do. If she didn't do this, she would be unworthy of the name of Tyrant Bao. However, under the expectant gaze of Master Bao, like a dog that had come with its owner's slippers and was expecting its owner's praise, Mingyu lowered her head and said softly, "Yeah."
Master Bao felt relieved, and he couldn't help but feel happy. "If you like it, I'll buy it for you later. It's not a valuable thing anyway."
The pretended calm tone could not conceal the cheerful mood in Master Bao's heart, as if all the unpleasantness that had occurred between him and Mingyu during this period of time had disappeared with Mingyu's gentle "hmm".
Mingyu raised her head and glanced quickly at Master Bao. The sixteen-year-old boy still looked very handsome when he smiled. Accompanied by the golden sunshine of the rising sun, he was tall and handsome, with delicate features and a genuine and pleasing smile.
"Second Master, we still have to go pay our respects to the Madam and the Old Lady. Second Master, would you like to come with us?" Mingyu asked.
Master Bao waved his hands quickly and said, "No, no, I still have to go to the teacher to study today." He didn't want to go to the old lady and listen to her nagging.
After Master Bao left, Lixiang looked at Mingyu somewhat at a loss. Mingyu glanced at the brocade box on the stool and said, "Put it away." Master Bao was very wealthy, and these little things should be quite valuable. She was worried that she didn't even have something to reward the servants. With this, it would be much easier to use it to ask people for favors.
Lixiang picked up the box and looked at the various exquisite little things inside. She couldn't help but say to Mingyu, "Second Madam, Second Master loves you..."
Mingyu smiled but said nothing. Seeing Mingyu like this, Lixiang knew that Mingyu didn't want to talk about this, so she shut up and took the box into the house and put it away.
After Lixiang left, Mingyu stood alone at the gate of the yard. The air was cool and damp from the night dew. The rising sun hung bright red on the bald branches, shining warmly on people.
Mingyu closed her eyes and faced the sun. Through her eyelids, she could feel the sun shining on her eyes, which turned them red, just like the fiery red brocade box that Master Bao had just sent. After experiencing the incident with Yingrong, Mingyu no longer had any hope for Master Bao. Master Bao was not a bad person, but a lively and cheerful boy, with some of the rare simplicity and friendliness of a dandy disciple. He liked her a little, but it was just a little bit. Mingyu was not so arrogant as to think that Master Bao would take only one scoop out of the three thousand rivers for her.
It is impossible for Mingyu to say that she is not sad. She is more disappointed. In fact, she knew that things would develop to this point. It's just that she has been here for so long, and except for Lixiang, no one is friendly to her. Mingyu always feels insecure. Bao Erye treats her well, and Mingyu subconsciously feels like she has grabbed a straw. Now it seems that it is a good thing that she has kept a sense of wakefulness and did not really use the straw as a lifebuoy.
Everyone in the mansion could see Master Bao's childish behavior in the past few days. Mistress Bao, who was always quiet and taciturn, didn't know how she had angered Master Bao and made him disgusted. Only Luo Lingxiu was very happy. When she paid her respects, she saw Mingyu standing there quietly. In her eyes, Mingyu must have been miserable in the past few days, crying every night. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that Mingyu's eyes were haggard and heartbroken, so she liked Mingyu more and more.
Mingyu was thinking with her head down when Sima Lian gently touched her. When she looked up, she met Luo Lingxiu's probing gaze with a gloating look. Luo Lingxiu was startled and quickly turned her eyes away, pretending nothing had happened. Mingyu was puzzled and could only sigh that people of the same family resemble each other. There are certain similarities in the world. It makes perfect sense for Luo Lingxiu to fall in love with Master Bao.
Without Luo Lingxiu's trouble, Mingyu's life became much better. After paying her respects, Mingyu took Lixiang back to Yiqing Courtyard and spread out paper to practice calligraphy as usual. The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the table where Mingyu practiced calligraphy, casting circles of light on the paper. Birds were chirping outside the window. Mingyu calmed his mind and wrote a few words. He felt very satisfied when he looked at them and his mood improved a lot.
Not long after, Nanny Tan came in and reported, "Second Madam, the eldest madam is here to see you."
Mingyu was very surprised. While she was in a daze, Luo Lingxiu had already entered the yard and said with a smile, "Mingyu, are you here?" She called her very affectionately. Mingyu lowered her head and curled her lips. The good mood she had just been in when practicing calligraphy disappeared. She threw down her pen and went out to greet him.
Nanny Tan lifted the curtain for Mingyu. As soon as she walked out, Mingyu saw the two maids Hongxi and Hongxian standing behind Luo Lingxiu, while Lixiang was standing at the door with her head down, her face pale and her fingers clenched together.
"What's the matter, sister-in-law?" Mingyu stood in front of Lixiang and asked.
Luo Lingxiu smiled and said, "Nothing much. I just haven't been to your place for a long time and wanted to chat with you."
Mingyu said nothing and looked at the two maids behind Luo Lingxiu. She was not so magnanimous as to forgive these evil-hearted people.
Luo Lingxiu was stunned for a moment, and a look of unhappiness appeared on her face, but she quickly suppressed her unhappiness, turned around and said to the two maids, "You go out and wait for me." Hongxi handed the box in her hand to Luo Lingxiu, and walked out with Hongxian with their heads down.
Nanny Tan was very enthusiastic towards Luo Lingxiu. Without Mingyu's permission, she walked down the stairs in two steps, took the box from Luo Lingxiu's hand, and helped Luo Lingxiu walk into the house. She scolded Lixiang, "How can you let the master take things without knowing how to do it?" When she faced Luo Lingxiu, she smiled flatteringly, and the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out. She said softly, "Big *nurse, please go slowly. This way, please."
Mingyu curled the corners of her mouth, and without paying any attention to Luo Lingxiu, she pulled Lixiang into the room first. After all, she came for something, so she just wanted to see what she wanted to do.
It was not the first time that Luo Lingxiu entered Mingyu's room. When she saw the rosewood shelf with Yuhua stones on the table, she couldn't help feeling sad. However, when she looked at Mingyu's room, she realized that the most valuable thing was the rosewood shelf. She felt much better and comforted herself that her cousin's heart would be with her from now on. This little girl was just an ignorant girl from a small family, and she was fooled by a wooden shelf!
After inviting Luo Lingxiu to sit down, Nanny Tan busied herself pouring tea for Luo Lingxiu, and even asked Lixiang to go to the kitchen to get some snacks for her grandmother, but was stopped by Mingyu, "We're going to have dinner soon, why do you want snacks?" Mingyu looked at Nanny Tan's attempt to curry favor with her coldly and said in a cold voice.
Nanny Tan was the one who served the Madam. She was respected and worshipped by so many people. She was also used to being indulged by Mingyu. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Luo Lingxiu smiled and said, "Mingyu is right. Why would we eat snacks at this time? Nanny, take a rest. Mingyu and I can just talk."
After finding a way out, Nanny Tan hurriedly said with a smile, "That's fine, I won't bother you two grandmas anymore." As she said that, she dragged Lixiang out. Lixiang was afraid that Mingyu would suffer, so she refused to leave and insisted on staying. Mingyu gave her a reassuring look, and Lixiang reluctantly followed Nanny Tan out.
Without outsiders around, Luo Lingxiu looked around Mingyu's room. On the corner of the sky-blue curtain hung an apricot-yellow satin purse, with a few plum blossoms embroidered on it, which looked very vivid. Luo Lingxiu couldn't help but take a few more glances and said with a smile, "The embroidery on this purse is quite good."
Mingyu nodded, "That was embroidered by the eldest lady."
Thinking of the unruly little hoof in Aunt Yu's yard who had been against her and embarrassed her for the past few days, Luo Lingxiu's face turned cold. She sneered and said, "You two have a good relationship!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian ().
