Chapter 52 - Caused Huge Trouble (1/2)

She wanted to make up her mind and tell him to move back in, but…

When she thought of the old lady’s eyes, she could not control herself but shiver.

That nightmare. She could not remember what the dream was about every time she woke up. But she was very scared every time she woke up. All she could remember were the eyes, the eyes that were staring right at her!

When he saw her shivering, he frowned. He put his arms around her and asked. “Manman, what are you afraid of?”

“I do not know. I am just… scared.” She did not know what she was feared of or why.

“I am here for you. You do not need to be scared.” He hugged her tightly.

His hug helped a lot to calm herself down.

Not long after they went back to the house, the old lady called Pei Xiuyuan to the study to discuss some matters. They were all about their business. Pei Xiuyuan’s marriage was irreversible, so the old lady did not plan to do anything about it anymore for now. She had other plans.

It did not take long after the two of them entered the room, they heard the sound of a porcelain breaking coming from the living room!

Lu Man looked at the broken pieces of the smashed porcelain vase around her feet. She was stunned. She had only lifted the vase a little when she was trying to get the ball under it, and now it had fallen and shattered into pieces!

The butler heard the sound and rushed to the room. When he saw the broken vase, his face changed dramatically!

“Young Mistress… You…” Have caused huge trouble!

When Lu Man saw the changes on his face, she knew she was in big trouble!

Right then, Wang Yunxi came downstairs, she screamed her lungs out when she saw the broken vase. “Lu Man, how dare you break Grandmother’s favorite vase?”

Lu Man frowned. She had a feeling something was not right somewhere, but she just could not see what had gone wrong.

Pei Zichen came forward. “You are so clumsy! You even knocked down a vase just by picking up a ball! Do you know that this vase is Great-grandmother’s favorite? You are dead this time!”

The butler nearly burst into tears. This was not just her favorite, it was her life!

This vase was an antique from the Tang Dynasty. It was the old master’s favorite. He loved it very much that he must see it every day. The old lady came to like it because of the old master. After he passed away, the old lady saw the vase as her old companion.

He had put the vase here and worshipped it like a god. He dusted it every day himself. He even set a rule that no other maids apart from him could go near the vase.

Now the young mistress had smashed it!

What was going to happen?

Being a butler in this household for forty years, even he could not imagine how the old lady would react after knowing this!

Right then…

“What was all the fuss about?” Her majestic voice was heard.

Lu Man turned into stone. Her palms were sweaty and clammy.

When Wang Yunxi and Pei Zichen heard the sound, they instinctively shivered.

“Yunxi, why were you screaming so loud in the middle of the night…” The old lady wanted to scold her for screaming so loud that she could even hear her from the room. But when she saw the broken pieces on the floor, she paused. They looked very familiar, they were…

She immediately turned to the direction of the vase. Nothing was there. Her precious vase was no longer there.

Suddenly, everything went dark and she fainted.

Luckily, Pei Xiuyuan was standing by her side. He quickly caught his grandmother.
