Chapter 769: Chapter 769: The Cute Baby Acts Spoiled
“Oh no! The caramel is coming again, let’s run!”
Chubby Chou Chou hurriedly grabbed the crying little girl and quickly ran far away.
The remaining little boy glanced at the woman who was rushing towards them, a flash of wisdom in his eyes, and then calmly shook off the wetness from his body before following the two figures ahead.
Just as quickly as they had disappeared, the maid searched around but could not find anyone: “Strange, I just heard Miss crying, how can they vanish in the blink of an eye? Miss! Young Master! Miss… ”
She did not give up and searched nearby several more times but never found anyone, eventually leaving disappointed and looking back every few steps.
That’s how summer thunderstorms are – they come and go quickly.
By the time the woman returned to the flower hall, the rain outside had stopped. A woman posing as a married woman was sitting in the hall, facing away from the main entrance, busying herself. A housekeeper with account books stood by her side, eyes fixed straight ahead.
As if hearing the commotion from behind, the woman casually inquired with a voice like an orchid in a valley.
“Lan Xiang, did you see Miss and Young Master?”
The maid called Lan Xiang trembled, nearly losing her balance, but still had to come forward and bow.
“Madam, it’s my incompetence. I failed to take care of Miss and the two Young Masters. I… ”
“Never mind! It’s not your fault, Lan Xiang. Don’t blame yourself. Just be more attentive next time.”
As the crisp voice, like the singing of an oriole, sounded, the woman finally got up, revealing her face to everyone in the flower hall. That kind of ethereal beauty really shouldn’t appear on a married woman.
Although Lan Xiang had seen her Madam’s face before, every time she would be mesmerized, unable to recover from her daze for a long time, just like now.
“Lan Xiang, Lan Xiang? You’re daydreaming again.”
The woman shook her head and waved, dismissing her directly: “Stop dazing out, you can leave now. Remember to prepare the family punishment, later when those three little bastards are brought out.”
“Yes, yes, Madam.”
It took a while before Lan Xiang could recover, blushing with heat, and then withdrew.
It wasn’t until she stepped out of the flower hall that she remembered Madam’s order to prepare the family punishment, leaving her feeling torn.
“You silly child, you must be new here? So you don’t understand our Madam yet.”
Seeing Lan Xiang looking so worried, Ms. Gao, who was holding a plate of pastries, comforted her: “Madam dotes on the three children as if they were treasures. Don’t be deceived by her stern words now; when the Miss and Young Masters return later, she will certainly have a change of heart and won’t be able to enforce the punishment.”
“But… ”
Lan Xiang still found it hard to understand.
“Don’t worry about it. Miss and the two Young Masters have never been quiet for a single day, and everyone is used to it. You are just new here, so you are naturally worried.”
What a simple and kind child!
After saying this, Ms. Gao shook her head, carried the pastries into the flower hall, and went straight to the woman’s side before reporting softly.
“Madam, I made some pastries for you to taste.”
