Return of the Phoenix Lady

Wuming Cliff Linli Pavilion

Looking at Han Qingyu and Han Xi, mother and daughter, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Han Xing smiled and said, "How are you?"

"Thank you for your care, young master. Xier and I are doing well, but the task you assigned to us..." Han Qingyu hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Is something going wrong?" Han Xing was very curious about who the big shot in the Chu family was that Han Qingyu and Han Xi couldn't deal with even if they joined forces.

"To be honest, we originally wanted to take away their money first and then defeat them completely. But we didn't expect that although we made them lose a lot of money in the business world, the effect was not obvious. So we wanted to sneak in and test their bottom line, but we didn't expect that there was a barrier in their house! And the person who set up this barrier must be stronger than me, so these days we can only suppress them in business." Han Qingyu said with a face full of shame.

"It's okay, you guys continue. This time, I will go there myself and destroy the Chu family myself! Let them pay for the sins they have committed!" Han Xing said with a cold light flashing in his dark eyes.

"That's great! The Chu family will definitely not be able to escape this time!" Han Xi said in surprise.

"But young master, the master of the Chu family has not shown up yet. If you act in a high-profile manner, I'm afraid it will alert the enemy. It's better to sneak into the Chu family and wipe out the Chu family in one fell swoop when the time is right!" Han Qingyu is older after all, and he has more to consider.

"That's what I was thinking. We shouldn't take action before we find out the family's true strength." Han Xing nodded in agreement.

"Master, this is very thoughtful, but please be sure to pay attention to your safety during that time." Han Qingyu said with concern. Looking at this child who was only in his teens, who should have been enjoying the love of his parents and the joy of learning! Now, for the sake of revenge, he had become so mature, so sensible, and so independent. It was impossible not to feel distressed.

Han Xing couldn't stand Han Qingyu's eyes that were suddenly filled with pity and love, and said uncomfortably: "Uh... if there's nothing else, you can go back!"

"Okay! Young master, have a good rest!" Han Qingyu nodded and walked out with Han Xi.

After a while, Han Xing said, "Brother Feng, isn't it cold outside? Come in!"

Then, with a wry smile on his face, Jin Yifeng slowly walked in from the corner of the door, "Xing'er, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Han Xing glanced at Jin Yifeng and said coldly: "Who asked you to be the wall-ear!"

"No way. I just came to look for you, but I didn't expect you were with your friends. I felt embarrassed to disturb you, so I waited outside the door!" Jin Yifeng said innocently.

Han Xing was too lazy to argue with him about whether he was eavesdropping or not, so he asked directly, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing..." Jin Yifeng avoided his eyes and said hesitantly.

Han Xing didn't say anything either, just drank her osmanthus tea leisurely.

After a while, Jin Yifeng finally couldn't help it and said helplessly: "Xing'er, you are really...ah...forget it, I'll just say it straight! I want to go with you!"

"What?" Han Xing was a little slow to react.

"Chu family! Don't always take dangerous things on yourself. I can help you, didn't I say that? From now on, I will be with you!" Jin Yifeng looked at Han Xing sincerely and said.

Han Xing's bright eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, she said, "Of course you have to go with me! You said you would always stay with me!"

"Yes! That's what I said! Haha~" Jin Yifeng said with his eyes curved into crescents and a bright smile on his lips.

"I heard that the Chu family is recruiting again! If I can get into the Chu family, I won't have to worry about food and clothing!" said a man A.

"It's indeed a wealthy family, recruiting people every few days. But my uncle's son's neighbor's friend works in the Chu Mansion. I heard that life there is not so easy. Once caught being lazy or something, you will suffer the consequences. The Chu Mansion's methods of torturing people are very cruel!" A certain man B said with a wink.

"So what? If I could get a job there, I wouldn't ask for anything else. Now everyone knows that the Chu Mansion is made of a mountain of gold and silver! What would I worry about once I get in? It's a pity that I'm not qualified!" Man A said with some regret.

At the gate of Chu Mansion

"Line up one by one! No queue-jumping! Two of you over there! Go to the back! Hurry up! Don't dawdle! You're wasting my time!" the strong servant shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes..." A thin girl with ragged clothes and lowered head kept saying yes, pulling the big man next to her who was also sloppy and had a cold and ordinary face, and obediently went to the end of the line.

Suddenly, the petite girl raised her head. Her pretty face had a pair of bright, clever eyes. With a mischievous look, she said to the man beside her, "Brother Feng, don't be angry. It's nothing serious. Just bear with it and it will pass."

Jin Yifeng, destined for nobility from birth, and given his genius, no one had ever dared to openly disrespect him. So, how could he possibly endure being insulted by a mere janitor? However, with Han Xing around, things were different. Wasn't she a miracle worker? This made it possible for Jin Yifeng to endure.

Finally, after waiting for an hour, it was their turn.

The man who was taking notes looked up at the girl and then lowered his head. He asked lazily, "How old are you? How many people are there in your family?"

"My daughter is fourteen this year. Only my daughter and my brother are left at home." She pointed to the man behind her and said, "He is my brother." After a pause, she continued, "My daughter and my brother used to live in a small village, but not long ago there was a flood that washed away the entire village. My daughter's parents also died at that time. My daughter and my brother happened to go to the city and were spared from this disaster. However, my brother and I have nothing left and can only wander all the way here, begging for a living. Today, a kind-hearted person told me that the master's mansion is recruiting, so I came here."

"Is that so? Go wait in the mansion!"

"Thank you, sir! Thank you!" The girl nodded gratefully and pulled her brother into the Chu Mansion.

The servant at the door led the two people. The girl stared at the surrounding buildings with amazement. No wonder people said that the Chu Mansion was a mountain of gold and silver. Look at the golden walls and silver tiles. It was as luxurious as it could be and as rich as it could be!

The girl glanced at the boy leading the way and suddenly burst into laughter. The boy, hearing the laughter, turned around and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm so lucky to be able to enter such a wonderful place! I won't have to worry about my future, right, little brother?" Although the girl looked dirty, the brilliance in her eyes could not be wiped away. The servant actually blushed at her and quickly turned around, whispering a warning: "That's not necessarily true. It's not as simple as you think here. The masters are not easy to serve. I advise you to be careful in the future."

"Is that so! Thank you for the reminder, young man!" The girl smiled again, and the servant felt a little itchy in his heart.

"Okay, we're here. Go in! Be well behaved once you're in, okay?" The boy glanced at the girl, feeling reluctant to leave, but he had no choice but to leave.

The girl nodded repeatedly, and the servant left with peace of mind.

As soon as we entered the room the servant pointed out, which was a utility room, we saw several people waiting inside. Most of them looked ordinary and had no special features.

The girl pulled her brother to the corner and waited quietly.

We waited for the entire afternoon, and several men and women came in one after another, all waiting obediently.

Finally, a man who looked like a manager walked in. Seeing the well-behaved crowd, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "The fact that you can come here means you've been accepted. Alright! Without further ado, sign the indenture!"

So, they stepped forward one by one, said their names and signed the contract.

Finally it was the girl's turn, and the steward asked, "What's your name?"

"Jiang Xiaoli. This is my brother, Jiang Xiaofeng." The girl said loudly.

"Well, sign it!"

Thus, Han Xing and Jin Yifeng officially became the maid and butler of the Chu Mansion - Xiaoli and Xiaofeng.
