Chapter 44: Don’t even think about it! 1/2
When Liu Wei entered the Xi Long courtyard, she saw a group of servant girls standing outside the courtyard instantly. When they saw him, they lined up, bent down and greeted them, “Greetings to Sir Liu and Childe Liu.”
One of them led the group and continued, “We are allocated by housekeeper Ming to take care of the Sir’s daily necessities. I am Ming Xiang. This is Xi Xiang. The rest will come and introduce themselves to you later. The house has already been tidied. Sir must have travelled an exhausting journey. Please go in and take a rest first.”
Liu Wei looked at all those delicate and pretty girls and frowned, “I do not have a habit of having servant girls. It will be better if you all go down and reallocate one or two boy servants.”
Ming Xiang paused and looked at Xi Xiang.
Xi Xiang naturally and appropriately came forward and politely explained, “Uncle Ming ordered us to come over. We are now Sir’s people so there is no reason for us to leave now.”
“My people?”
Xi Xiang slightly blushed. She shily closed her eyes and nodded.
Ming Xiang’s mouth was also smiling; her ears were scorching hot.
Liu Wei, “……”
Just then, Rong Leng who was slowly walking over indifferently asked, “Is sir satisfied with these servant girls?”
Liu Wei turned her head and stared at him, “You did it on purpose?”
Rong Leng lightly smiled. He walked to her front then continued, “What do you mean on purpose? Sir is a multitalented gentleman and is consistently a distinguished scholar. Carefree and confident. I have intentions of having good relations with sir. Hence naturally, some areas need to be taken better care of. Ming Xiang and Xi Xiang are trained from the palace. Once they follow you, they can be used by you wherever you want.”
Liu Wei gritted her teeth, “Even on the bed?”
“If you can, of course.” Rong Leng replied and thoughtfully glanced at her lower abdomen.
Liu Wei conveniently pulled her robe and blocked her front. She coldly hmphed, “I don’t want servant girls, change them to servant boys for me.”
Rong Leng walked forward half a step and stopped in front of her. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, “Don’t even think about it!”
“You……”
“You can adapt to the changes. Servant girls are better to use than servant boys. Not to mention maybe in the future, you cannot do without servant girls.”
“You used before?” Her lip corners curved in contempt. She endured her anger and asked, “Where are the prince’s servant girls? Why not call them out to introduce themselves so we would be acquainted, and so I wouldn’t offend them especially since we now live together?”
“You will have a chance to do so.” He replied. He extended his hands, stroked Liu Xiao Li’s head and continued, “Bring your dad back into the room. It is already late. Rest early.”
Liu Xiao Li obediently nodded and then looked at his mother.
Liu Wei saw this man would not budge no matter what. As she confirmed he insisted on leaving these servant girls with her, she unconsciously became resentful. Only women have servant girls to accompany them, he is obviously doing it on purpose!
She hmphed, swung her sleeves and pulled her son into the courtyard.
Ming Xiang and Xi Xiang hurriedly followed behind.
Rong Leng swayed as he looked at her furious silhouette and unknowingly smiled.
So childish.
……
And at this moment, in Liu manor.
Inside the bedroom of the third-ranked servant girls at the outer courtyard, Yue Er laid on the bed with her buttocks half-rotted. She was groaning in pain, drenched in sweat while her cousin Cui Yang applied medication for her.
“Look at you. You can’t even protect a jar of wine. And if not for me, you would not even be alive now. You know how Elder Maid Qin is heartless – whenever she beats people, only death awaits. And you still let her catch your tail. Why do I have such a stupid sister like you? How could I still take care of you from now onwards? Initially, I was thinking of pleading with Elder Maid Yin to transfer you to the old lady’s house after mid-autumn. But now, there is no more hope!” She said. The finger which was dipped in medication ruthlessly poked Yue Er’s head once without any leniency.
