The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

Chapter 5 Looking for someone

She did it right away, changed her clothes, and combed her hair. Of course, she combed it the same way as the original owner, covering up her face. In ancient times, being beautiful was also a mistake. She didn't want to make her fate worse. Then she went to get some water to wash. The toothbrush here was replaced by a branch.

She brushed her teeth casually, wiped her face with a towel and went to the big kitchen to get breakfast. It was a bit late to get breakfast at this time, but there was still food. She went to the kitchen and said something to the cook and took the breakfast away. The cook had a good relationship with the original owner. Once the cook fell down, the original owner helped her, so she often gave the original owner extra meals. No wonder the original owner was not thin at all and had a good figure.

The original owner had not been bullied in this marquis's mansion and had good food and clothing in the past few years.

While eating the extra food, she was addicted to the deliciousness of the food. The food was quite good. Although there was not meat for every meal, the taste was good. The vegetables were green and white, pure and natural, and pollution-free. The only problem was that the dishes were simple, three dishes and one soup, which was very slimming and did not have much fat.

She also likes cooking, and she doesn’t know when she will be able to cook a meal by herself. In modern times, she likes to watch various cooking videos on Xiaohongshu every holiday. She will also learn to cook, and the taste is almost the same. She enjoys it.

The desire to leave the house is so strong, oh, what a damn evil feudal society.

On the other side, He Jingming woke up and moved around. He felt sore all over, including the back of his head. He touched it and found a big lump, nail marks on his hands, and a little pain on his face. He thought about what he had done yesterday.

He went to a banquet and felt unwell after drinking a few glasses of wine, so he left halfway. When he returned home, he felt very hot and realized it was the Chinese medicine. Later, he saw the woman who had been haunting him, and then he didn't know what happened. He only remembered that he pushed the woman down on the bed, kissed her lips, caressed her body, and then he fainted with a pain in the back of his head.

Even if that's the case, it can't be this painful if it's just a dream, right?

Who was it that had molested him? Which damn woman was it? If he found her, he would make her live a life worse than death.

He sat on the bed with a gloomy face and said, "Come here, wash up."

He Chuan, who was guarding outside, opened the door and came in and said, "Master, clothes." He put them on the table outside and left.

He Jingming got up and went to the outer room to get his clothes. When he took off his outer clothes and looked at his inner clothes, he saw that there were many bruises on his body. He knew from the injuries that they were caused by a woman kicking him. He was a dignified prince and was beaten by someone while he was sleeping without knowing it. He would not let that person have an easy time.

He said angrily: "Don't let me catch you, little wild cat, chase me away, hehe." As he spoke, he laughed, looking a little scary.

After getting dressed, he went to the outer room. Shuang'er, who came with water, happened to arrive. When she saw He Jingming coming out, she said gently, "Young Master, I'll help you wash up." As she spoke, she started to pick up the towel in the water and wring it dry, intending to wipe He Jingming's face.

Shuang'er really couldn't wait to become He Jingming's woman. She was like what people say, "The one who is close to the water gets the moon first." As long as she is gentle and considerate, the prince will definitely see her good side and fall in love with her. When she becomes the prince's concubine, who will dare to look down on her? She will definitely live a glorious life in the marquis's mansion, wearing gorgeous clothes every day. It's a beautiful thought.

Before her hand even touched He Jingming's face, He Jingming said gloomily, "Go down."

Shuang'er was a little disappointed. She didn't expect that the prince would let her go before she even got close to him. She could only do it next time.

She was about to leave when she heard, "Wait, were you here yesterday?"

Shuang'er was overjoyed. She didn't expect that the prince would ask her to wait, and then asked her if she had come yesterday. Of course she didn't, but how could she tell the truth?

"My lord, it was I who delivered the food yesterday." She said softly.

This voice is what men love to hear the most. When they hear a woman say this, their whole body will melt. But who is the person in front of them? This is the abstinence male protagonist, a straight man, how could he have any reaction?

When He Jingming heard Shuang'er say this, he looked up at Shuang'er. Shuang'er naturally showed her best side to He Jingming obediently, hoping that He Jingming would be conquered by her beauty.

He Jingming looked at the woman in front of him and thought about the woman in his mind. He knew that this woman must not be telling the truth. The two were not alike at all, not only in appearance but also in voice. The voice he heard was gentle and charming, not the voice in front of him that spoke with a pinched throat.

He said expressionlessly, "Someone come here."

Shuang'er didn't understand why he asked for help. Did he want to take her away and dress her up nicely, or did he want someone to give her all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry?

If Xiao Wanyue heard Shuang'er thinking this, she would definitely laugh out loud. "Don't you like the male lead? I didn't expect that you like his money. I never expected that."

When He Chuan heard his master calling for help, he ran in quickly and saluted, "Master."

He Jingming: "Hold him down and interrogate him thoroughly. Who came into my room yesterday? If you can tell me, I'll give you twenty lashes and have him thrown out of the house."

He Chuan said respectfully, "Yes, I'll go right away." After that, he prepared to take the stunned Shuang'er downstairs.

Only then did Shuang'er realize that her lie had been discovered by the prince. When she heard about the punishment, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Prince, please spare my life. I beg you to show mercy now. I don't want to be beaten."

He Jingming got a satisfactory response and then gestured to He Chuan to stand aside.

He asked, “Who came here yesterday?”

Shuang'er said tremblingly, "Yesterday it was Xiao Yue. I was feeling a little unwell, so I asked her to bring me food. It was because I was possessed by a ghost that I spoke without thinking. Please let me go. I won't dare to do that again. Woo woo."

He Jingming: "Who is Xiao Yue?"

He Chuan: "Master, she is the maid who sweeps the yard."

He Jingming: "Oh!"

He Chuan: "What happened to Master? Yesterday, I saw Xiao Yue carrying a food box in the yard. I thought she was bringing food to Master, so I asked her to do it. Did something happen?"

How could He Jingming say that he had something to do? He casually said, "No problem. Go get this servant and ask her to serve you."

He Chuan went to the place where Xiao Wanyue was resting without thinking. He just felt that his master had a secret, but as a subordinate, he didn't dare to ask about his master's affairs. But isn't Xiao Yue a very honest girl? She usually keeps her head down. Why did his master look for Xiao Yue? He still didn't understand the question until he arrived at Xiao Yue's residence.
