C20 (1/2)
The shadow in the room watched as the shadow outside slowly disappeared. The two of them wiped their cold sweat and turned around to look at the person lying on the ground. With a twitch of their lips, they threw Second Aunt on the bed … After extinguishing the lamp, he took advantage of the darkness of the night to disappear on the Shang Shu Fu's wall.
Kieran paced back and forth in the yard, the alcohol smell from his body having been awakened by the cold wind. As he walked along the pond, he was so angry that his lungs were about to burst. It was as if he wanted to rush into the West Crossing Courtyard and throw the woman's stomach aside and drag the little bastard out … He never thought that after so many years of doting and pampering, she would actually put on a green hat for him!
Another gust of wind blew, and the willow tree by the pond rustled … Kieran looked at the moonlight coming off the lotus pond, stomped his feet in anger, turned his eyes to the east yard, and walked away.
In the room with the lamp still lit, Yu Mi was already leaning against the window, holding a book in her hands. Behind her, Shu Yu quickly wiped her wet hair.
Yu Mi turned around and smiled: ”Xiao Cui, what are you standing there for?”
”Miss …”
”Wrong, Xiao Cui, you have to call me little miss, from now on you will be like me, being little miss's personal servant!”
”No, Xiao Cui doesn't dare, my mother said, she wants me to serve Third Miss, that is our duty … …”
”Xiao Cui, listen to Shu Yu's words … You don't need Xiao Cui from now on; I will change your name to Shu Cui, how about it? ”
”Miss, my mother said that once we enter Miss's room, we must listen to her!”
”Mm, it's good that you understand! Come over here, help Shu Yu dry my hair, otherwise, I won't even be able to get into bed! ”
”Yes sir!” Shu Cui walked over frantically, but accidentally pulled on Yu Mi's long hair. Seeing Yu Mi frown from the pain, she was so shocked that she almost knelt down.
He comforted her softly, ”Don't worry, just take it slowly!”
Shu Cui looked at Yu Mi, and said in a low voice at the end: ”Miss is so nice!”
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from below the pavilion. Yu Mi looked up, let out a cold snort, then casually put the book to the side and called out: ”Shu Yu, bring that basin of cold clean water over here!”
”Miss, what are you doing?”
”It's nothing. I just want to drown a drowning dog!”
Following Yu Mi's line of sight, Shu Yu said worriedly: ”Miss, that is …”
Yu Mi raised her brows and asked: ”What is that? ”It's just an old dog that barks all day long. Now that she's out of her mind, she thinks of my mother and wants to get warm. Is he even fit to do that?”
Shu Yu recalled the scene of the young miss and First Lady being beaten up a few days ago, and became angry. She turned around and brought the basin of water over, and said righteously: ”Young miss, if old master is to blame, just say that Shu Yu was blind, or at worst, this servant will eat a dozen or so boards.”
Yu Mi looked at her and thought of everything that had happened in his previous life. If she hadn't believed in Qin Yuxuan's seduction, she wouldn't have insisted on driving him away, so much that in the end, she had insulted him and caused him to die.
While he was deep in thought, he heard Kieran's voice coming from upstairs. ”Xiu Wen, let me see …”
With a splash, a bucket of cold water was poured over Kieran's head. He was no longer drunk, so he stood on the stairs and shouted, ”Who is it …” ”Who …”
A wooden basin was smashed into his head, and he had no time to dodge it. He fainted on the spot.
Shu Cui was so scared that the comb in her hand dropped to the ground, tears streaming down her face, she spoke with a trembling voice: ”Young miss, what, what should we do?”
Seeing her agitated expression, Yu Mi smiled and patted her shoulder. He waved his hand at Shu Yu and said: ”There's nothing much to do here, bring Shu Cui to sleep first!”
”But Miss, if someone blames you …”
”It's alright. When the sky falls, there will be a tall one to support it. Besides, if anything happens, it's tomorrow's business!”
The corner of Shu Yu's mouth twitched, she grabbed onto her leg as she looked at the stairs, and asked softly: ”Miss, do you plan on letting the old master do it like this?”
”What is it? Don't you find the heat unbearable tonight? I did it out of filial piety. I made him sleep on the stairs and come into close contact with the ground. I let the mosquitoes greet him.
Resisting his laughter, Shu Yu nodded his head right away and gave Yu Mi a big thumbs up, and said softly: ”Young miss is awesome!”
Yu Mi raised her eyebrows proudly, then looked at the pitiable and teary little girl, and comforted her softly: ”Little girl, if you want to stay by my side, you must be bold!”
Shu Cui sniffed, and at the end, bit her lips: ”Miss, servant, servant will definitely change!”
When the door closed, Yu Mi stood up and looked at Kieran, who was on the stairs. He grunted and walked back to his bed.
After a gust of cool breeze passed through Xu Guo, Yu Mi actually had a trace of joy. Her voice also became soft and gentle, undetectable to her;
Unexpectedly, he raised his eyebrows and Mo Liangchen laughed: ”How do you always know it's me?”
Wrinkling his nose mischievously, Yu Mi curled the corner of his mouth and said: ”Isn't it still the sandalwood fragrance from your body …”
”Mi Er doesn't like it?”
”Is it about me?”
