Chapter 420 My Specialties (1/2)

Zhu Yan sounded like a teenager, but talked in an extremely arrogant tone.

Moqin reached out to push the door, while giving Lin Mengya, who was behind her, a warning look.

The owner was inside! Lin Mengya also became cautious. It was not so easy to cope with the behind-the-scenes owner as she did to Moqin and Hongyu.

As soon as the door was opened, she felt a blast of breeze. The slightly humid air made Lin Mengya sober.

The spices and smoke from outside faded under the influence of the water vapor in the air. Although she didn’t know how the owner did it, it was indeed a smart idea.

The room was not big, but was furnished delicately.

It was more like the study of a childe than the room of the owner of Huichun House.

The three of them walked to the innermost part of the room, and a desk piled with various books was placed in front of them.

A man in fine white clothes was sitting behind the desk. However, his face was behind the books, so they couldn’t see it.

“Where is this stupid woman from? Why are you so mannerless? How dare you stare at my master at will!”

There came such a mean voice suddenly from the side. With no need to looking at it, Lin Mengya knew that it was the little boy called Master Zhu Yan.

He was really a child, with a round and puerile face and a pair of big black eyes. Dressed in steel grey clothes, coupled with two round buns on his head, he looked quite cute.

It was a pity that he was ill-bred with no manners.

If they were outside, she really didn’t mind teaching this little guy a lesson.

But now, she could bear it as long as she could.

“Master Zhu Yan, please forgive my offence. It’s my fault.”

Lin Mengya immediately pretended to be panic-stricken. Both Hongyu and Moqin sweated with anxiety, for fear that she would clash with Zhu Yan.

Seeing Lin Mengya’s attitude, the two of them were quite relieved.

“Humph, good since you know that. In view of your good attitude, I won’t blame you. Master, do you agree?”

Zhu Yan turned his head, but obediently stood beside the man he called master.

“Enough, stop it.”

There was a touch of affection in his mellow and pleasant voice.

Although Lin Mengya was curious about the owner’s appearance, she did not dare to raise her head and look at him boldly.

After asking Moqin and Hongyu a few questions, the owner seemed to have believed her identity. Nevertheless, Lin Mengya didn’t think that things were so simple.

“Look up.”

The owner talked to her. Lin Mengya was a little nervous, but raised her head slowly.

At this time, the book in front of the owner’s face was placed on the desk by himself. A handsome and gentle face surprised Lin Mengya.

If she didn’t meet him here, she would never think that such a man, who looked gentle, turned out to be the behind-the-scenes boss of Huichun House.

As expected, a man couldn’t be judged by his look.

At the sight of her face, the owner blinked his eyes at the moment. However, it was scarcely perceptible. He just asked lightly.

“Which area of Yunzhou are you from?”

Fortunately, Lin Mengya had been prepared before. She answered the men’s questions unhurriedly at once.

“I am not a native of Yunzhou. I heard from the madam in the yard that my hometown is in the Capital City. But due to my family decline later, I was bought by the madam.”

Although she feigned an identity as a childe from Yunzhou, she knew nothing about the dialect of Yunzhou at all.

But now she was in a situation different from that in the caravan. Her secret might be revealed due to slight carelessness.

Therefore, she could only answer with half true.

“Oh? Since you grew up in Yunzhou, why do you speak authentic mandarin? In my house, there are girls from Yunzhou, but they are quite different from you.”

The owner asked with doubt, but in a mild tone.

Lin Mengya was not sure of the owner’s temperament at the moment, so she had to answer carefully.

“Brothels don’t only receive local people. Moreover, the yard, where I worked, is similar to Huichun House and receives the merchants coming and going. If I couldn’t even speak mandarin, how could I do my business?”

Lin Mengya said with a smile. She was quite skilled in talking nonsense.

What was more, she was so confident with logical reasons that others had to believe her words.

“Oh, I see.”

The owner did not say that he believed it or not, but just smiled and continued asking.

“In that case, you naturally have your unique skills. The girls in my house at least dabble in playing musical instruments, as well as verses, ditties, odes and songs. Since you can be selected by Moqin and Hongyu, you should have extraordinary skills. You might show them to me.”

It turned out that he wanted to trial her skills.

Lin Mengya was not stupid, and the owner was not either.
