69 See Something That Shouldn’t Be Seen 1 (2/2)

They were too excited talking and forgot that Yao Ling needed to pretend that she was sick. Yao Ling removed her disguise and let her hair down, flowing down to her back. She put the Yao Ying's clothes under her bed and kicked it until she couldn't see it anymore. Yao Ling quickly jumped into her bed and dipped herself into her blanket.

Yao Ling gave a signal to Xiao Yu, telling her that she was ready. Xiao Yu nodded and opened the door. At the same time, Yao Ling closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Xiao Yu looked at Qiu Qiu who was once again coming. ”Why are you coming here again? Young Mistress already gave an order that no one should bother her.” If it was only once then Qiu Qiu's offer to help her was out of kindness. But twice? Did she try to find out something? Xiao Yu couldn't hold back her annoyance toward Qiu Qiu.

Qiu Qiu answered while her eyes kept darting inside the room. Xiao Yu started to feel that this Qiu Qiu wasn't putting her young mistress in her eyes. Since when did a maid was allowed to behave unruly like this?

Xiao Yu snapped her fingers in front of Qiu Qiu's eyes, ”Qiu Qiu, why are you here? And why are you keep peeking inside?”

What Xiao Yu said confirmed Yao Ling's suspiciousness. Yao Ling cleared her throat and asked in a hoarse voice, ”Xiao Yu, who is it?”

”Young Mistress, it's only Qiu Qiu.”

”Let her come in.”

Xiao Yu beckoned Qiu Qiu to follow her and go inside the room. Qiu Qiu's eyes flickered to where Yao Ling laid.

”Why are you here?”

Qiu Qiu quickly found an excuse. ”This servant heard Young Mistress is sick. Somehow this servant didn't see Xiao Yu Jie Jie prepare medicine for you. This servant is concerned about Young Mistress' condition, that's why this servant wants to ask Xiao Yu Jie Jie if she needs my help.”

Yao Ling smiled and praised Qiu Qiu, ”How kind of you! No need to worry about it. I was asleep, that's why I don't drink any medicine. I just need some rest.”

”This servant feels relieved. Then, this servant will leave first. Young Mistress, please take a rest,” Qiu Qiu bade farewell.

After Qiu Qiu left, Yao Ling asked Xiao Yu, ”Which courtyard did she work before?”

Xiao Yu shook her head. ”This servant doesn't know. I think she was newly bought before she serves here.”

Yao Ling frowned. If she didn't work anywhere before, then it was a dead end. At least, she knew that this Qiu Qiu was a spy. Qiu Qiu's hastiness made her stand out than the rest of the servants. If she felt it was kind of hard to find the masters, it was better if she changed all the servants and maids in one killer move.

”Xiao Yu, if you have something to do, you can go. I will sleep and wake me up when Young Master come, okay?”

”This servant will do this servant's chores then. Young Mistress, please rest.”

Yao Ling only nodded, turned around, and fell into deep sleep. She was too tired because of the lack of sleep previous night. She needed to catch up to her beauty sleep.

Xiao Yu knew that her young mistress was tired, so she didn't bother her anymore. She looked around and then went out in a hurry.

It was accidentally seen by Xiu. He just went back from 'Fu Rong' and he was going to go back to the young master's room after running an errand. Xiu saw Xiao Yu in a hurry, feeling curious. He decided to follow her because he could see the anxiety on her face. 'Is there something wrong with her?' He thought to himself.

Xiao Yu kept walking in a hurry. She turned her head left and right. It seemed like she didn't want anyone to know where she went. Xiu started to feel suspicious. What happened to Xiao Yu? Why did she behave like that?
