Chapter 113: The Weak and Dark Prince vs. the Cute and Innocent Maid 8
The study door was gently closed, and Zhongli Weiran let go of all his strength, leaned against the corner of the wall, and slumped into the wheelchair.
With drooped eyebrows, he stared at his bleeding palms motionlessly, like a puppet without a soul.
Outside the study, Meng Jiao waited for him for a long time but he didn't come out. She saw that the Duke had left with everyone, leaving only herself and her servant Fang Ziyan guarding the door.
While Fang Ziyan was changing his cloak, Meng Jiao pushed the door open and walked in.
Because of the rain, the weather was gloomy and the room was dim. Two candles were lit in the study. The room was eerily quiet, with only the occasional crackling of the candles.
Meng Jiao moved closer step by step. The candlelight was dim. The man was in a corner, his outline was cast in thick shadows, like a shadow without any sense of existence.
"My Lord, would you like to eat some Qingtuan? I made it for you with fresh milk flavor."
Meng Jiao squatted in front of him, looking up at him from bottom to top, and took out the qingtuan from the box and held it in her palm.
Zhongli Weiran's hollow eyes changed when he smelled the familiar lotus scent on her body. Now he was sure that she was a little at a loss.
He looked really ugly now, but who would have thought that she would squat in front of him and ask him such a question.
Maybe it was because she had been standing outside for too long, the little girl was still damp, her nose was slightly red and twitching, she was holding the qingtuan and looking at him with her big watery eyes, as if her eyes could only accommodate him.
Many years later, Zhongli Weiran thought about this scene and said that at that time he suddenly felt that he was quite selfish. Even if he died, he wanted to take the person in front of him with him.
Meng Jiao saw him staring at her motionlessly, as if immersed in his own fantasy. She touched the green ball in her palm.
Oops, it's a bit too cold.
Just as he was about to find the layer hidden in the middle of the food box, someone grabbed his wrist tightly before he put down the Qingtuan in his hand.
She looked up curiously, and the hand that was not held tightly took the Qingtuan in her hand, put it back into the box, and took out a piece in the middle that was still warm.
Zhongli's long, undyed eyelashes fluttered as he blinked, and he realized that Meng Jiao wanted to take out the other one.
He thought...
"Feel sorry."
Quickly letting go, Zhongli Weiran took the dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, his ears completely red.
Meng Jiao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that he was so treacherous and so innocent. After a moment, she smiled with curved eyebrows.
Neither of them said anything else, they just ate while she bandaged the wound on his hand. There was no gauze, so Meng Jiao could only use her own handkerchief temporarily.
When he finished eating, Meng Jiao had already packed up the food box and pushed him out.
When they were almost at the door, Zhongli Weiran asked her,
“Is this dumpling better to eat when it’s warm?”
Meng Jiao was stunned for a moment, not realizing what he meant. After thinking for a while, she realized that there was something else behind his words.
"Well, if the prince wants to eat it, I can go to your yard and cook it for you."
"it is good."
Fang Ziyan was standing guard at the door. When the study door opened, he walked forward with an umbrella. He was a little stunned when he saw the man pushing his own son behind him.
Turning my head back to where Meng Jiao was standing just now, and then looking at where she is standing now,
No, when did this maid go in?
Seeing him coming, Meng Jiao held up her umbrella, picked up her lunch box and said goodbye to Zhong Li Wei Ran.
Zhongli Weiran nodded and pointed at the food box in her hand.
"Give the lunch box to Fang Ziyan. It's not convenient for you to carry such a heavy thing back."
Meng Jiao just thought this man was very cute. He clearly just wanted to eat, but he said this as if he cared about her.
Fang Ziyan: What do you mean, he is only fit to take the heavy ones?
That evening, Meng Jiao took all her belongings and begged the old lady.
The old lady looked at the little girl's small box and realized that the little girl had saved quite a lot.
"You little girl, why are you using this little box to embarrass me, an old woman?"
Meng Jiao took the opportunity to strike the snake, and she stood up and massaged the old lady's shoulders and legs.
"Madam, Jiaojiao has something to ask of you..."
Amber paused while sweeping the vase. In the afternoon, she heard that the old lady wanted to send her to serve the eldest young master.
But the young master was not as easy to get along with as he seemed, especially when it came to the maids. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.
When the old lady came back in the afternoon, she didn't see the food box in her hand. She just thought that she had given Wei Ran some snacks. So when she suddenly said that she had something to ask of her, she became a little curious.
"Tell me about it..."
Meng Jiao laid her face on the old lady's knees and looked at her eagerly.
"I want to redeem my bond."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's face froze, and she felt a little conflicted when she thought about her previous thoughts.
Guessing her thoughts, Meng Jiao rubbed her palm and continued talking.
"I will be coming of age at the end of the year. You are so kind to me. I don't know how to spend all the money you have saved.
I was thinking of redeeming my indenture and buying some land so that I would have a place to live when I get old.
If I am released from the mansion when I reach the age of maturity, you know the situation of my family, and I am afraid I don’t know where I will be sold to…”
The old lady didn't really think so much about her at first. After all, she was just a close maid, a servant after all.
Listening to what she said now, I found that she was really sincere.
All of her subordinates wanted to get married to the master's family, so that they could live a worry-free life in the second half of their lives. Even if they were the worst off, they would try to find a position as a top manager in the mansion, so that they could manage a farm together in the future.
But she wants to rely on herself for everything.
"Have you ever thought about asking me to help you find a husband in the future?"
Meng Jiao shook her head.
"I don't want to make you worry. Besides, I want to learn from the story books and win the heart of one person until we grow old together. If no one loves me, I will stay in this house and serve you for the rest of my life."
Meng Jiao wanted to give the old lady a heads-up first. She had made it clear that she was a person of one mind. If her grandson married someone else, she would not allow it.
The old lady understood what she said. The little girl just wanted a deed to buy the land, and she didn't plan to leave the house right away.
But it is true that the treatment in this mansion is so good, no one is willing to really give up this job. She is a little girl who is alone and helpless, it is really hard for her to have such thoughts.
But thinking about her own plan, she patted her little head and thought that she owed the child a favor and temporarily pledged her life contract for a period of time.
"If you want a birth contract, then you can help me do something. Not only will I give you the birth contract, but I will also be the one to give you dowry when you get married. Is that okay?"
Meng Jiao had already guessed the old lady's thoughts. She would live with the old lady for a long time in the future, and this was just to pave the way for the future.
After all, a child who was forced into the mansion, unwilling to be a concubine, and worked hard and honestly,
Who would hate that?
However, I wonder if the old lady will regret what she said today after she finds out that she has ruined her grandson...
