17 Miss… Please have mercy 1 (1/2)
Jun Hua tried the lotion that Fan Lanying gave her. When she checked its medicinal component, she realized that this medicine was better than the one her uncle had given her.
”Xia, send a sample to my uncle. Let the doctor try to examine it.”
Xia carried out Jun Hua's instruction carefully. She arranged for everything just as Jun Hua busied herself with training under Madam Mu.
Madam Mu was all praise for Jun Hua because of her quick progress. Indeed, even Xia could feel that her miss seemed more refined than ever.
The next day, Lin San didn't go to school. Lin Yuan told her that her sister was sick and wasn't able to go to school. Jun Hua didn't bother with that and merely studied with Fan Lanying's help. She's terribly poor in music, so it took her a long time to make a correct sound.
Fan Lanying tried to console her. ”It's fine. Even I took years to play a single song.”
Jun Hua had to admit that Fan Lanying's progress was far slower than her. But because the girl started learning from younger years, she already advanced further than her.
On the fourth day in the academy, Jun Hua learned etiquette. Since she already had some foundation from Madam Mu's lesson in the past few days, she could pass the first lesson safely. The teacher still told her to stay behind though, and gave an additional lesson which made her get home later than usual.
”The teacher is even stricter than Madam Mu,” Jun Hua sighed.
”At least you could learn a lot from her,” Xia smiled. ”Your way of walking and posture is much more similar to a lady now.”
”I am a lady.”
Xia didn't answer and followed behind Jun Hua. The girl endured another round of abuse under Madam Mu before she let her go.
Jun Hua stretched her body as she lay on bed.
”What is tomorrow's lesson?”
”It's mathematics, Miss.”
”Hmm… I don't need math lesson,” Jun Hua sighed. Then her lips curled up to show a crafty smile. ”Min, come here.”
Yamin appeared unexpectedly. Xia's eyes almost popped out of their sockets in surprise. She did not detect the presence of Yamin at all. Suddenly, Xia felt that she's a failure as a maid because her skills was far lower than Jun Hua. Really, her miss was truly a monster to even detect an assassin in hiding.
Jun Hua ignored the conflicted expression on Xia's face. ”You substitute for me at school tomorrow.”
”Miss…?” Yamin raised her head in confusion. They rarely switched place as it would be dangerous if anyone found out. If not because 'Jun Hua' had to appear at the estate on some occasions, Yamin wouldn't have appeared and continue to hide in the shadow.
Jun Hua smiled. ”I have some plans for tomorrow, but I need to appear as Jun Min.”
”I understand.”
Since Jun Hua didn't require another math lesson, Yamin could stand in her place without worry. Yamin herself was not really good in math, so it will be a good lesson for her. After she finished instructing Yamin, the girl once again blended into darkness.
Jun Hua looked towards Xia who was wearing dark face. ”What is it, Xia?”
”Miss… it seems that my skill has deteriorated. I can't even sense when Yamin is in this room.”
Jun Hua laughed. ”You don't have to worry. Yamin is not staying in this room. She's outside. If she's in this room, I would have waved my arm and not speaking.”
