Chapter 12 Sister Is In Love With Young Master Too?
Tonight, Lichun, the maidservant of Ziyan Courtyard, put on a brand-new red dress, with gorgeous makeup on her face. Her figure is tall, fat and thin, her words and deeds are noble, and her frown and smile make people ecstasy .

Like a jewel in the palm of a wealthy family.

In fact, not only tonight, but every night, Lichun would redress herself while her master was asleep.

Only when she sees the elegant face with heavy makeup painted in the mirror, will she remember her true identity and the purpose of coming to Ziyanyuan to hide for more than ten years.

"Sister Lichun, you are so pretty."

The little girl, Xiaoman, stared at Lichun's graceful figure unscrupulously, and praised her without hesitation.

She looked down at her condition and made a sad and unconvinced expression.

I have to admit that the body of a 16-year-old is incomparable to that of a 23-year-old.

"The same thing, I often hear the young master say."

Li Chun accepted the little girl's compliment very calmly, even though the other party was holding a dagger tightly in his hand:
"When I was 11 years old, I met my son for the first time. He asked me what my name was. I replied that I can call you whatever you like. Those who enter the palace are not entitled to have their own name."

"That day happened to be spring, and the seven-year-old son picked a few flowers from the yard and put them on my head with his own hands."

"He named me Lichun."

"Lichun is the first solar term of the year. My son said that he has no special pursuit in this life, as long as he raises 24 girls who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, his life will be worthwhile."

"My name is Lichun, and I'm the first one."

Li Chun pursed her red lips, and looked at the little girl provocatively.

Xiao Man counted on his fingers:
"The Beginning of Spring, Rain, Waking of Insects, Vernal Equinox, Qingming Festival, Grain Rain, Beginning of Summer, Xiaoman..."

"Then I am the eighth?"

"But……"

"With so many girls, can the young master's health handle it?"

"..."

Lichun was speechless.

At this time, shouldn't you ask where all the six girls have gone except the two of us?

I can't answer even if you ask me.

"I'm curious, what is the purpose of Sister Lichun's coming to Ziyanyuan?"

Xiaoman played with the dagger in his hand, frowned and muttered:
"I can see that my sister doesn't like Ziyanyuan's aloofness. You are an ambitious woman, and your background must be very unusual."

"Let me take a guess."

"Most likely you were forced to come to Ziyan Courtyard to be an undercover surveillance son. Most of the women who were born in powerful families can't help themselves and have no right to control their own destiny, and you are the same. But my sister is not willing to be ordinary, so she always Change into luxurious clothes in the room at night, reminding myself to fight against fate."

"The sword that Jiang Shan made in front of the Sutra Pavilion today showed you a turning point."

"If I'm not wrong, the young master's first appearance will lead to his death. My sister will attack him immediately and leave the Ziyan courtyard, right?"

Li Chun smiled slightly, her red lips were as bright as blood, and her temperament was graceful and luxurious.

She glanced at Xiaoman, her eyes were full of teasing:

"Little girl, are you here to kill me?"

"You can't be... in love with the Fourth Young Master, right?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Man nodded seriously:
"Yes."

"Why, can't I like him?"

Lichun didn't understand:
"You have only been in Ziyan Courtyard for less than two months, and the total time you have met with the young master is less than ten hours. How come you fell in love with him?"

"Just because he teases you every day after getting up?"

"Little girl, although I can't guess your origin for the time being, you must have a good background like me, and you have other plans to get close to the young master?"

"Actually, we can work together."

"Let's talk about your reason for coming first. Maybe we can turn enemies into friends and get what we need."

Xiaoman snorted coldly:
"Sister Lichun, don't talk to me, I'm not stupid at all!"

"You just have to remember, anyway, I will always be the son's maid, and I won't eat inside and out like someone else!"

Lichun laughed at himself:
"People's hearts are unpredictable, who knows?"

"When I first came to Ziyanyuan, I always wanted to let the young master be more confident, so that I could kill him earlier to complete the task, but after living in Ziyanyuan for a long time, I expected him to be mediocre for the rest of his life. Don't argue about anything, then I can always be by his side..."

"Oh, I don't want the young master to die either."

When Xiaoman heard this, he was immediately surprised, as if he had found someone of the same kind:
"Sister also likes the son?"

"I knew it!"

Lichun looked puzzled, a little confused about the situation:
"You, believe it?"

"Don't you think I'm telling a lie?"

Xiaoman put away the dagger and said cheerfully:
"Believe, why don't you believe it?"

"That's what it says in the books!"

"The servant girl is an undercover agent sent by the enemy to monitor the young master, but she has been in love with the young master for a long time, so the maidservant will not hesitate to make an enemy of the entire family power for the sake of love! In the end, the two of them either fell off the cliff together, or eloped, or lived in seclusion in the paradise..."

The little girl became more and more excited as she talked.

But Lichun was a little confused when he heard:
"In a book? What book?"

The little girl introduced:

"There is a Jinjiang pavilion in Jianghu, and the novels sold there are all written in this way. I like every one of them very much."

"..."

Lichun understood.

A fictional novel written by a group of women with nothing to do.

"So, I believe my sister has fallen in love with the son!"

"me too!"

The little girl gave Lichun a demonstrative look:

"Sister, let's compete fairly and see who will be bigger and who will be smaller in the future!"

Lichun was speechless.

This little girl is completely hopeless.

You are so infatuated with the young master, why did you bring me along?

Who said that she was going to marry that ignorant Jiang Qingyu?

She looked at Xiaoman like she was looking at a fool, and then said a cruel sentence:
"You, you will definitely be a little boy!"

……

At the moment when it was initially confirmed that the other party would not kill the young master for the time being, a war between women ended without smoke.

The trust between women is sometimes so unreasonable.

Although the two of them have their own goals and identities, as long as they don't do things that are not good for the young master, then everything will be fine.

in the room.

Dressed in red, Lichun wrote on a piece of paper the words "Qianlongchuyuan". "Everything is business as usual".

outside the room.

Xiaoman glanced at the room where Jiang Qingyu was, and then reluctantly left Ziyan Courtyard.

The moment she walked out of the courtyard, several well-trained figures suddenly appeared and knelt down on one knee towards her.

Xiaoman restrained his smile and raised his head slightly:
"Protect the young master, and also keep an eye on that woman. If the young master is injured by a hair, you all come to see him."

"Yes!"

The movements of several people were very fast, and they entered the yard in an instant and surrounded the room where Jiang Qingyu was, without making a sound.

Xiaoman is very satisfied with the serious and responsible attitude of the few people.

Two months ago, when King Jubei handed over these dark guards of dead men to her, she never thought that there would be a day when they would be useful.

"It's been a long time since I killed anyone!"

Xiaoman murmured softly, then began to hide himself the next moment, climbing rocks and walls to walk outside the palace.

Her body is strong, and she is good at hiding her whereabouts with the help of the environment. All kinds of traps in the palace are useless to her, just like a top killer.

The road was indeed unimpeded, and Xiaoman walked very smoothly.

Even if there were innate realm dark guards who accidentally discovered her in the palace, they never showed up to stop her, as if they all knew the true identity of this woman.

This made her more reckless, and she didn't think anyone would follow her.

After half a stick of incense, Xiao Man came outside an inn in the city.

She looked towards one of the rooms, the corners of her mouth slightly raised:

"We are very polite in our line of work. If you receive a bounty, you have to do things for others."

"Young Master held my hand today, Xiao Man has nothing to repay, so he can only kill someone for him."

"Gurgan..."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the grassland alive."
