25 Stealing a Maiden Hear (1/2)
Jun Hua stared at Lin Tang. ”Am I not allowed?”
”Of course you can,” Lin Tang smiled. ”But you cannot loiter around her quarters for long.”
”Naturally,” Jun Hua knew that in Lin family residence, they have their own quarters, not just a room like the one from Jun family. This estate was far bigger than the Jun family since the Jun family only had three people staying and the rest were servants.
These quarters were similar to a small house. It was a place where a person could live most of his life. It was treated as a kind of a personal space and only family members could get in. For an unmarried woman, the only men who were allowed to get in were their father and siblings (with the exception of doctors). But still, they were restricted to the living room.
Jun Hua looked at Yamin and nodded.
Yamin smiled sweetly and turned towards Chun Maora. ”Mother, please.”
Chun Maora didn't want to personally guide Jun Hua, but seeing that Jun Min wanted to come along, she changed her mind. Although Jun Min was of low-birth, he was an accomplished general and held a prestigious status within the military. They'd never know when their country would be in war, so a general was highly respected.
”Come, I will show you the way.”
Chun Maora was relieved that she listened to Lin Tang to provide a good place for Jun Hua. Originally, she didn't want to, but finally gave in after seeing that Lin Yuan was still in a daze when she met her. It seemed that Jun Min was indeed someone highly remarkable.
Seeing the boy now, even Chun Maora was feeling slightly jealous. If only someone like him appeared during her youth, she would have chosen to chase after that boy and not an official like Lin Tang. Of course, that's just her wishful thinking.
Lin Yuan and the little boy went back first soon after they greeted Jun Hua. They were only concubine born, so it was not really proper for them to show up. Lin San and Lin Hong stayed behind Chun Maora and followed after her. Lin San wanted to get a chance to meet personally with Jun Min, while Lin Hong wanted to keep his sister from doing anything foolish.
Chun Maora guided them towards the stone path. Jun Hua looked around calmly. Even though she was curious about the place she spent part of her childhood in, she could not make exaggerate moves and only subtly looked around.
Lin family residence was quite beautiful. There were several plants planted on the side and a few decorations were hanging around. All in all, it was quite artistic and gave off a refreshing feeling. As a general, Jun Hua's senses were far more sensitive. At such, she could faintly feel that behind this façade, there were unmentionable things happening that were hidden from the world.
The quarters that Chun Maora prepared for Jun Hua was not too big, but was good enough. There were a few rooms inside and the servants were busy moving Jun Hua's belongings inside. They didn't dare to decorate the rooms by themselves as it was up to Jun Hua how she wanted the rooms to look like.
Jun Hua scanned the rooms briefly, and looked at the few girls there.
”They are?”
”I have picked some servants for your sister. If you find them to your liking, I will hand their contract to your sister.”
Yamin who acted as Jun Hua, lowered her head and pretended to not exist. She convincingly portrayed a timid girl who could not decide by herself.
Jun Hua stared at the servant girls. She found them annoying.
”I don't like them. Later, I will personally pick some servants for my sister.”
