Soft-waisted little maid

Chapter 5: Don’t want a man who falls out at the slightest disagreement

Xue Ke felt that the air in the room had solidified.

There was no way to go forward, and there was no way to go back. He simply stayed in place, maintaining an awkward posture.

Sun Zan's side wasn't much better either.

He was holding a half-eaten crispy chicken drumstick in his hand. For the first time in his life, he felt that he, the young master, was being treated in such a embarrassed way.
Here's the thing.The original plan was that he would have lunch at Fang Xuexue's house before returning, and his wife also ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal.The two old men had no sons, but only one daughter who had married out of town, so they never regarded Sun Zan as an outsider.

As for Sun Zan, since her sister Sun Yuzhu followed her father to Hangzhou two months ago, she has been facing her extremely controlling mother alone for a long time. No matter how filial and good-tempered he is, , I also felt increasingly out of breath, so when I got the opportunity, I often made excuses to stay at Fang Xuejun's house, but in fact, I deliberately finished my lunch before returning.

But unfortunately, at noon today, Fang Xuexue's daughter's family, who had not been home for a long time, suddenly returned from Baoding Mansion.After Sun Zan learned about it, he wisely returned home early.But after thinking about it, I didn't want to eat with Mr. pass.

It's not like this has never happened before, but today I happened to be bumped into by this new girl.

Logically speaking, it was obvious that he was just having a meal, but today he felt like he was being raped.
Xue Ke had slowly walked out from behind the door and moved to the front.Although she couldn't hear Sun Zan's thoughts, she could get a rough idea of ​​the whole story from the restless inner activities of the boy next to him.

She swallowed, thinking that this matter shouldn't be considered a secret, so she wouldn't be killed to silence her, so she bowed politely: "Third Young Master, this slave accidentally fell asleep behind you. .I didn’t know you were coming.”

Sun Zan's expression was still a little awkward. He glanced at the boy next to him, and the boy understood the situation and backed out, closing the door tightly as he did so.

"You -" Sun Zan paused, then sighed, "Forget it, you can see it when you see it, just don't tell mother."

Xue Ke nodded.

She also felt a little uneasy.If she had Xue's temperament and knew that she was helping the third young master hide it from her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to reap the rewards.

Sun Zan had no intention of continuing this topic. Instead, he looked back at the table, took a pack of snacks wrapped in lotus leaves, and handed it to Xue Ke: "This store's crystal oil buns and dragon and phoenix golden dumplings They are all well done, you can try them all.”

Xue Ke raised his eyes and saw that the crystal oil dumpling was white, soft and chubby with a red stamp on it. The dragon and phoenix golden dumpling should have just come out of the pan, as if it had been re-fried, and was glutinous on the bottom. A circle of golden and slightly burnt oil was steaming out.

She had never eaten this traditional Ning snack, so she stopped being polite and reached out to grab an oil bun and took a big bite.

"Be careful of the scalding——" As soon as Sun Zan finished speaking, Xue Ke felt a burst of hot air exploding in her mouth, which made her gasp. It wasn't until she took a sip of the cold tea handed over by Sun Zan that she managed to calm down.

"This is white sugar and nuts boiled in lard fat. It needs to be cooled down before you can eat it." As he said this, he opened the remaining oil bag and showed it to her, and she saw crystal clear sugar water flowing out of it.

Xue Ke nodded cautiously and stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth.

Maybe after the two of them had a common secret, Xue Ke suddenly felt that the other party had become much closer psychologically. Thinking about it this way, Sun Zan said more to her today than all the previous combined.

Thinking of this, she couldn't control the entanglement that had been lingering in her heart since just now, and asked hesitantly.

"Third Young Master, my servant, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask." Sun Zan didn't say anything, just turned around and packed up the things on the table.

Xue Ke quickly came to help: "Third Young Master, Second Grandma is so kind to you. I thought you should be very close to her, but," she paused here because she couldn't grasp Sun Zan's thoughts. So I can only pay attention to his expression carefully, "Of course I shouldn't talk too much, but I really don't understand why you have to hide from the Second Grandma when you are eating. Even if there is something, can't you tell the Second Grandma clearly that the relationship between mother and son is going to happen?" I have a grudge." Her voice became softer and softer, and in the end she didn't dare to look at Sun Zan.

Before she could finish speaking, she immediately felt that the atmosphere had suddenly cooled down.Only then did Xue Ke feel that her palms were getting cold, and she realized that she had been negligent. No matter how friendly the person in front of her was, he was still her master.

The other party just handed it over with a cold look, and she felt that a gap opened in the ground between the two, which was difficult to cross no matter what because of her status.After traveling through time for so long, this was the first time she felt strongly that she was a maid and a servant.

Sun Zan didn't answer anymore, sighed, and then said: "Pack the rest and go out to rest. Call Liu Zhu."

Liu Zhu was his book boy, and Xue Ke knew that he wanted to invite her out.

"Third Young Master" she opened her mouth, but in the face of the other party's cold attitude, she finally just said, "My slave, please leave."

After that, he left.
.
The sun was long on the summer night, and He Chengxiang had been fooling around outside until midnight, when the sky had just completely darkened.

Although the house was locked up early, he and the boy guarding the door had known each other since they were young, and they were drinking buddies, so they would naturally cover up for him.

However, he lost everything at this moment, and he was half asleep from drinking, wandering in the yard, and he didn't know where he was wandering in the blink of an eye.

Even so, she still didn't forget the wine bottle in her hand, and murmured inarticulately: "The old woman, isn't she just a little maidservant? She raised such a big girl. Isn't it because she is so proud that the master likes her? Then It's her luck! Sooner or later she will be sorted out."

Just wandering around like this, I suddenly saw a yard with lights on.

He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. He suddenly realized that this should be the study of their second bedroom and the third young master.

Realizing this, he staggered forward, bowed unsteadily to the book boy who was guarding the door, and asked, "Excuse me - is this girl Shang Xueer here?"

His drunken tone made Liu Zhu cover his nose subconsciously: "Who are you? Which courtyard are you from?"

"I am her brother, the son of Grandma Shang, and the fourth master is here to serve."

Liu Zhu held the lantern in his hand, looked at it carefully, and recognized him.He knew that this man was a troublesome bastard and just wanted to get rid of him quickly, so he pointed out the way for him, hoping that he would go away quickly.

It wasn't until the person left that he turned back to the study.

"Who was it just now?" Sun Zan was concentrating on reading when he heard the sound outside and asked casually.

"Returning to the young master, it was the bastard in front of the fourth master. You have also heard of it. Only then did I know that he was Miss Xueke's godbrother. He was drunk and shouted to find Miss Xueke's residence. I thought it was too much. He is noisy"

"He asked, and you told him?" Sun Zan suddenly interrupted him, and his tone was a little serious for a while.

"This is a family matter." Liu Zhu was also confused by what he said, "Did I do something wrong?"

Sun Zan was silent for a while, closed the book, thought about it again, and reopened the book, saying: "Forget it, you are right, it is family matter anyway."
