Chapter 43: Chapter Thirty-nine: Searching for People

Translator: 549690339

The young maid was about fifteen or sixteen years old. After paying respects to Tang Luo and Manager Xu, she stood in place, with her little head lowered. If it hadn’t been for Tang Luo’s unimpressive height, he wouldn’t have been able to see the wronged look in her eyes. Her dark eyes were fixed on the ground in front of her feet.

Am I really so terrifying? Tang Luo doubted. He thought he was so kind to the servants in the house, there was no reason for them to fear him.

Adjusting his facial expression, he put on a refreshing young boy’s face and casually asked, “What’s your name?”

“I’m Xing Yu,” the little maid answered, her face full of grievance.

“Xing Yu, I want to ask you, do you remember the person who toldstories when you used to take care of me?” Tang Luo asked, smiling.

Hearing Tang Luo’s words and seeing his expression, Xing Yu was filled with alarm, stuttering, too scared to make a sound.

She felt so miserable. As expected, the lord of the house was a big villain who liked to settle accounts after the fact. It had been two months, and he was still looking to cause trouble for Brother Aji.

Seeing the little maid dawdling in the face of the young master’s question, Manager Xu barked, “Speak when you’re told to!”

The severe presence of the steward was too heavy for the little maid. At the sound of his voice, she shivered, her eyes filling instantaneously with tears, a whimper escaping her lips.

Even more displeased with the little maid’s attitude, Manager Xu made to step forward and slap Xing Yu across the face.

The little maid, who had just been whimpering, now broke out into a full-fledged cry, filled with fear and shock at the sight of the steward raising his hand.

“Stop, stop,”

Tang Luo grabbed the steward’s arm, slightly vexed. He simply cto ask a few questions, how did everything devolve into such a state?

The little maid wept, her face resembling rain-soaked pear blossoms. It seemed her naptly portrayed her – a spring rain mingling with the apricot blossoms.

With resignation, Tang Luo pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Xing Yu.

“Wipe your face, you’re crying like a baby kitten.”

Xing Yu looked at the handkerchief in front of her and then at Tang Luo’s kind face, then back at the steward’s severe eyes behind her. The young girl did not understand if she should take the handkerchief or not.

Tang Luo kept the handkerchief out for a good while, “Quickly take it, my hand’s getting tired.”

Xing Yu still didn’t dare, but with the steward’s stern look, she carefully took the corner of the handkerchief.

“Thank, yo- thank you, young master.” Xing Yu sobbed out her thanks to Tang Luo.

“Now, stop crying. Can you tellwho that boy who told the stories was?”

Xing Yu would have liked to pretend she didn’t hear him, but under the threat in the steward’s gaze, she was forced to answer, “It was Brother Aji.”

As soon as the words cout of her mouth, the little maid was overcwith grief, feeling that she had betrayed the kind Brother Aji who had been so good to her. The handkerchief was quickly pressed to her face as she began to sob uncontrollably.

Unbelievable! Manager Xu’s eyebrows shot up in anger.

“Young master, this is all because MadShe has not kept these maids well-disciplined. I will make sure they are rightfully punished.”

Upon hearing the steward’s words, the sobbing little maid felt a darkness in front of her eyes. Her legs gave way under her, and she sat on the ground, pressing the handkerchief tightly to her eyes, and broke into a loud wailing cry.

How did a simple search for a person turn into a discipline issue for maids? Tang Luo was exasperated. He reached out to help Xing Yu up.

“There’s no need for that. I think it was I who scared her.” He didn’t understand how everything had gotten to this point. He turned to the steward and asked, “Do you have any recollection of this Aji?”

Manager Xu thought for a moment and said, “I don’t remember him, but if he’s not around here he might be in the Spirit Beast Garden. There was a staff changeover about a month ago. He might have been transferred there.”

“Then let’s go and see the Spirit Beast Garden,” Tang Luo nodded.

“Also, Xing Yu, stop crying. I’m not here to assign blame. I have a good job for Aji, so you shouldn’t worry.”

Smart as Tang Luo, he understood something from Xing Yu’s mention of Brother Aji. The glib boy might have won her regard.

The little maid’s heart was concerned for her sweetheart, deeply afraid that he was here to settle scores.

“Manager Xu, regarding Xing Yu and Aji’s matter, pretend you never heard it.”

“Yes, I understand,”

Taking one last look at Xing Yu, who still had the handkerchief pressed to her face, Tang Luo shook his head and walked off towards the Spirit Beast Garden with the steward.

As expected, as soon as they entered the Spirit Beast Garden, they saw Aji, who was splitting iron bamboos.

Down the presents of Tang Luo and the manager, the servants of the Spirit Beast Garden cforward to pay their respects.

Everyone else was dismissed, leaving only Aji. Tang Luo sized up the young man in front of him.

After two months, he had becmuch thinner and had grown a touch of melancholic stubble. If two months ago his eyes were full of playful frivolity, now he had considerably calmed down.

The managers do seem to have a way of training the servants. The lively young man has clearly changed in just two months.

“Can you still tell stories?” Tang Luo joked, his face filled with a smile.

The young man hung his head in silence.

“Alright, enough teasing. I have a manager’s job for you. Would you rather keep splitting bamboo, or would you want to join me?” Despite standing on his toes, Tang Luo only managed to pat the young man’s upper arm, which made him seem especially lackluster.

However, hearing these words, Aji was startled. He lifted his head abruptly and stared at Tang Luo incredulously.

“How much longer?”

“The pattern is complex. It will take seven days of intricate carving.”

“As soon as possible.”

“What exactly are you trying to do?”

In the warm, romantic spring-like canopy, a stunningly beautiful woman was lying on Tu Tong’s chest, stroking the long scar extending from his left cheek to his right abdomen.

“Mei’er, wait forfor two years. After two years, I will definitely buy your freedom.”

“Master, Mei’er will wait for you.”

Having settled the manager’s business, Tang Luo returned to the Martial Hall. As soon as he stepped into his room, he saw a young boy whimpering on the bed.

“Ah.” Tang Luo sat down helplessly at the side of the bed.

Tsk, tsk, what a pitiful sight.

The swollen face that had just been medicated at noon swelled up another round, and there was an additional huge black eye.

It was obvious: he must have been beaten again during the afternoon team training.

“Big brother!” The young boy on the bed felt particularly wronged as soon as he saw his big brother. He grabbed Tang Luo’s left hand and burst into tears.

Tang Luo covered his face, unable to believe his eyes. Was this kid actually made to cry by a little girl?

For a moment, even the clever Tang Luo had no idea how to comfort the little boy.

“Woo-hoo~”

“Woo-woo-hoo~”

Tang Xing cried his heart out, tears streaming down his cheeks and soaking the pillow. It was heartbreaking to watch.

After a while, the little boy finally stopped crying. He had a lot of grievances to pour out to Tang Luo.

“So, you’re saying, your team, comprised of you, Tang Zheng, and Tang Man, was utterly beaten by the team of Tang Fengran, Tang Ya, and Tang Zhen?”

The expression on Tang Luo’s face was really beyond description. Three little boys were beaten into pulp by three little girls of the sage. Were girls really that much stronger before they cof age?

Sure enough, the Heavenly Sunflower is a shackle given by heaven to females, with the aim of preventing men from being ruled by terrifying females..
