Chapter 1012: Linked Room Maidservant?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
How would Young Master Jun know the Miao Xiao Miao was precisely feeling embarrassed over yesterday’s matter? She had practically thrown away her face and disregarded her status as a girl, boldly confessing her love and even forcing the other party to accept. After seeing him again after that, how could she not be embarrassed...
Although it was because they’d gone through a great tribulation of life and death, and her emotions had been very charged, resulting in her confession... but when she thought of it now, she could still feel chills travelling down her spine...
Before she came here today, she was still thinking to herself what she would do when she saw him. But after she arrived, she only discovered that he’d gone missing. In her panic and worry, she’d completely forgotten about her earlier thoughts. When she saw him standing safely before her now, she only felt a sense of happiness washing over her...
Seeing this pair smiling faintly at each other, with the girl being so shy that she couldn’t lift her head, twirling her feet on the ground and clutching her dress tightly...
Cao Guo Feng and the rest exchanged a glance and smiled bitterly.
At this time, could it be that old men like them could still remain standing there? If they still didn’t go, they would only become seven huge light bulbs for these two!
This situation was a little unsuitable for disciplining their disciple...
Without anyone to remind him, Cao Guo Feng shook his head and waved his hands helplessly, not knowing if he should laugh or cry. “Alright, let’s go, let’s go. There’s nothing to see here. Everyone just continue whatever you were doing...”
The bunch of old fellows simply smiled and sighed bitterly as they left...
And like this, they dispersed.
“Erm... the weather today is not bad; the sun is really big ah...” Jun Mo Xie laughed awkwardly and said as he looked at her not speaking.
“En... the weather is pretty good, the sun is really big ah...” Miao Xiao Miao finally spoke. However, her words were no less idiotic. Thereafter, the two fell into another period of awkward silence.
“Right right, look at this, the sun is high in the sky, and the weather is clear... ai... in a moment, the moon will come out...” Jun Mo Xie raised his head and realized awkwardly that it was nearly dusk now, and the sun had already nearly disappeared...
“En... the moon’s rays shining on the body is also very warm and nice...” Miao Xiao Miao felt her body growing hot. She did not lift her head, and simply mumbled incoherently...
“Pu...” Little Beansprout, who had been watching at the side, finally could not endure, and burst out laughing. The sun has already set; would there be a nice and bright sun in the sky? Although there wasn’t any sun left, had the moon even appeared yet? Also, could the moon’s rays feel nice and warm? This Miss of hers was truly talented ah, as talented as Young Master Mo ah! The two of them are truly a match made in heaven...
Her sudden laughter managed to break the awkward atmosphere. Miao Xiao Miao finally realized what she had said, and her face grew even redder. With a faint whimper, she hid her face and ran.
Seeing this, Little Beansprout cried out in an amused manner. “Miss, you’re going in the wrong direction, the door is the other way. That direction seems to be Young Master Mo’s room; are you going inside there?”
Miao Xiao Miao instantly froze. Advancing was not correct, and retreating was not right either. In that moment, she was stuck, and she didn’t know what to do, nearly crying aloud...
“What’s the matter?” Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes and said. “Is my room that hideous? I’m not hiding anything in there... Besides, the score for the Song of the Burial of Flowers is in my room. Miss Miao is going in the right direction if she wants to retrieve them...”
Little Beansprout stuck her tongue out cheekily and made a face, teasing. “I was in the wrong; you’re going in the right direction. Aren’t you going into Young Master Mo’s room? I was speaking nonsense again!”
Young Master Jun flung his sleeves and walked into his own room with wide steps. “Miss Miao is truly passionate about music ah... If I knew that you were coming, I would have tidied up the room first... If Miss Miao does not mind the simple setting, why don’t you come in and take a seat?”
After receiving Jun Mo Xie’s invitation and having a good reason, Miao Xiao Miao’s predicament was greatly reduced. Nodding her head, she smiled, “I’ll be troubling Young Master Mo then...”
Only then did she walk in with small steps. However, she did not dare to lift her head all the way, and could only stare at Jun Mo Xie’s moving feet...
Little Beansprout naturally followed in...
Jun Mo Xie was leading the way in front, when he suddenly heard Little Beansprout screeching at the back, begging for mercy. “Miss... please spare me, Miss... I will not dare to in the future... At the most, I won’t follow you in, you can do whatever you want and no one will look.... kekeke... spare me ah...”
Turning his head, he saw Little Beansprout giggling and escaping, yet being caught by Miao Xiao Miao. She was begging for forgiveness, but it seemed more like she was teasing her Miss...
“The master and subordinate relationship between you two is pretty good.” Jun Mo Xie said with a heartfelt sigh. Although most young ladies of large families were usually quite close to their personal maids, there would inevitably be a bit of power distance. The maid would never dare to be too presumptuous, and a relationship as close as sisters like Miao Xiao Miao and Little Beansprout was incredibly rare.
Especially in a huge and powerful family like the Miao Family, this was an especially uncommon and precious sight...
Jun Mo Xie could tell that Miao Xiao Miao was definitely not pretending to be magnanimous to put on a show for him. Only when the relationship was deep enough, could they tease each other like this...
Jun Mo Xie did not doubt in the slightest that even though Little Beansprout was so casual with Miao Xiao Miao, if there was any danger, she would not hesitate to lay her life down for Miao Xiao Miao...
“I’ve embarrassed myself... Although Little Beansprout is my maid in name, I’ve always treated her as my younger sister. There are no secrets between the two of us...” Hearing Jun Mo Xie’s light sigh, Miao Xiao Miao smiled lightly, her eyes filled with pity that she could not conceal. “Her birth... in any case, I treasure her very much...”
When Little Beansprout was mentioned, Miao Xiao Miao’s expression became much more at ease. But when it came to Little Beansprout’s birth, she hesitated. It was not because she was trying to help her keep the secret. But she was thinking for Little Beansprout, not wanting to open the wound in her heart and letting her be hurt again...
“Miss...” Little Beansprout looked at Miao Xiao Miao as her eyes turned red. “To be able to meet Miss is the greatest fortune of my life...”
“Silly lass, I cannot accompany you forever... In the future, you will naturally meet the fated person whom you will spend your life with; that will be the true fortune of your life...” Miao Xiao Miao sighed and said. “I only hope that no matter when, you will not forget me...”
“Little Beansprout will only follow Miss in this life! I don’t want any fated person...” Little Beansprout immediately started tearing up... In return, Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes also reddened...
Seeing that the atmosphere had turned sad because of a single sentence for him, Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose awkwardly. Women are really strange creatures ah... Just a single sentence and the both of them are already crying together; what emotional creatures...
There was no helping it. In order to break this sad atmosphere, Jun Mo Xie joked. “Oh? You will never part with your lady? Then... Little Beansprout, won’t you become our ‘linked room maidservant’ 1 ?”
Little Beansprout’s rosy cheeks instantly became flushed with red and she blinked repeatedly, not knowing what to say. After stammering for a moment, she turned around and said in a shy manner, “Aiya... Young Master Mo, you’re a big baddie...”
Miao Xiao Miao’s face also turned red.
If it was anyone else who said this, with Little Beansprout’s brash personality, she would definitely retaliate fiercely on the spot. But since it was Jun Mo Xie, she instead grew shy...
Because this Mo Jun Ye was her Young Miss’s lover. So if she became her Young Miss’s linked room maidservant, it would also mean that she would have to serve him... this matter...
Seeing Little Beansprout’s predicament, Miao Xiao Miao snorted. “We haven’t even checked if our eight characters are suited yet, and you’re already dreaming of a linked room maidservant? Young Master Mo... your ambition is not little, ah... hmph!”
Young Lady Miao’s original intention was just to help Little Beansprout out. But only after speaking, did she realize that her words were somewhat inappropriate. The words themselves were not wrong, but the timing in which it was said was quite off. By saying those words, wasn’t she already declaring her position as his wife? So when she was only halfway through her words, she found that she suddenly could not continue, and her face was flushed pink...
Truthfully, Jun Mo Xie was also regretting his words internally. Although he meant well with his words, it was also quite inappropriate. Strictly speaking, his words were in the style of a rascally perverted manner, and he’d already made the mental preparations to be ruthlessly scolded. But who would have thought that this Young Lady Miao would continue the sentence in such a way? Stunned, he fell silent for a long time before shifting his eyes uncomfortably. “Looks like the relationship of you two sisters are really close...” He didn’t finish the sentence, but it still left much to be thought...
Because in this moment, he could not help but to think of something. The good relationship between this master and servant pair was naturally a good thing and could even be said to be a distinctive merit of Miao Xiao Miao’s character.
With the declining morality of the current world, how many people would truly treat their servant as their own sister?
But from another angle, assuming that she was really determined to marry him, this would be another huge disastrous matter! This... would be a huge factor that would result in the instability of his harem!
Dugu Xiao Yi, Guan Qing Han, Mei Xue Yan... which one of these were people who were easy to provoke? If Miao Xiao Miao really followed him, given the close sisterhood relationship between the two, it was almost a given that Little Beansprout would follow as a linked room maidservant. At that time, the two sisters would definitely join hands to oppose the ‘outside force’...
But if that happened, it would mean that his harem would never see a day of peace ever again... Which one of those girls was willing to take a loss? If any of them were willing to take a loss... the sun would start rising from the west...
