Chapter 139 The Little Maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion 3

Soon, the weather warmed up and the peach blossoms in Yuxiu Courtyard bloomed.

Chu Yuan specially picked some flower petals and wanted to make peach blossom cake to show his filial piety to several maids in the yard.

Everyone has taken good care of her during this period, and Chu Yuan is also a grateful person.

But as a little maid, she didn't have anything to show off, so she could only make some cakes to show her gratitude.

After reading in the morning, Chu Yuan borrowed a stove from the small kitchen while the young master was out and made a pot of steaming peach blossom cake.

He first filled a plate and gave it to Zhang, the manager in the small kitchen, to thank him for lending him the kitchen.

Afterwards, the remaining money was divided into five parts, one part was given to Nanny Li who brought her into the mansion and taught her the rules, and the rest were given to Nanny Sun, Liu, and Wang from Yuxiu Courtyard.

Of course I have to keep the last portion for myself. I can't work hard for half a morning and get nothing.

But when she arrived at the room where Nanny Li lived with the basket, she heard some unexpected news.

Nanny Li used to serve in the Madam's courtyard. Although she was later sent to train the new maids, she was still highly valued by the Madam.

So you can know any news first.

This time when Chu Yuan came to visit, Nanny Li also wanted to do her a good job. After accepting the pastries, she pulled her aside to chat for a while.

It was said that the lady wanted to choose two concubines for the eldest son, and she would choose from the maids in the mansion.

One of the candidates has already been decided, it is Bijuan who serves the lady, and the other one is ready for the eldest son to choose according to his own preferences.

Among those serving in the eldest master's courtyard, she and Nian Qiao are the best looking and have more opportunities to interact with the young master.

The reason why Nanny Li revealed the news to Chu Yuan was to let her seize this opportunity, and maybe she would soar to fame.

But Chu Yuan didn't want to be someone's concubine. In order to prevent herself from being chosen, she began to deliberately reduce her contact with the young master.

Except for reading every morning, Chu Yuan tries his best to be an invisible person at other times.

The original plan was being implemented well, but on the morning of the third day, when Chu Yuan had just finished reading and was about to go out, he was stopped by the eldest master.

"Zhu Yun, I heard that you gave the maid in the courtyard a peach blossom cake you made yourself a few days ago. I didn't know you had this skill."

When Chu Yuan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She glanced at the young master's face secretly, and happened to meet his eyes.

Oh no, Chu Yuan was very clear about this look. It was the look a man gave a woman, filled with appreciation, liking, and desire.

Hiding his panic, Chu Yuan pretended that he hadn't noticed anything:

"My cooking skills are limited. I made the cakes only to thank the maids for their care during this period. If you want to eat some, I will ask the kitchen to make it."

"It's okay. I don't mind your craftsmanship."

Having said that, the peach blossom cake had to be made, so at lunch, a plate of peach blossom cake appeared on the table.

After Chu Yuan returned to his room, he was still frightened.

She could no longer stay in the prime minister's residence, but the original owner had sold herself and signed a death contract, so even if she had money she could not redeem herself and leave.

If she wants to turn this death contract into a living contract, she has to ask the lady for mercy. Besides, her younger brother is also in the mansion, so if they want to leave, they have to leave together.

But how can we get the lady to agree to let them both go?

Got it! Chu Yuan remembered that it was this spring when the young master was injured by a thief when he went out to meet a friend. He was stabbed in the abdomen and took a long time to recover.

If I could save the young master when he was injured, it should not be difficult to ask for forgiveness from the lady with this favor.

After thinking of a solution, Chu Yuan went to discuss it with her brother. She came to the outside of Linfeng Courtyard and asked the guard at the door to help her call someone.

"Sister, you are here."

"Yang'er, my sister has something very important to tell me right now. Let's talk somewhere else."

Chu Yuan pulled him to a corner, used his mind to check if there was anyone around, and then told him everything.

"Yang'er, I heard from Nanny Li, who teaches the rules, yesterday that the Madam is going to choose a concubine for the eldest son, and this person is likely to fall on me."

"What!? How can my sister be someone's concubine, even if he is the eldest son?"

"I don't want this to happen either. My only option now is to leave the house and find another way to make a living."

Chu Yang was a little surprised: "But we signed a death contract, so I'm afraid we will have to be slaves in the mansion for the rest of our lives?"

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about anything. I came here just to ask you if you are willing to go with me."

"Don't worry, sister. Yang'er is certainly willing. She will never let you become someone else's concubine."

After asking her brother what he thought, Chu Yuan left. Before leaving, she asked him to pretend that he knew nothing and wait for her news.

It’s a pity that she is just a maid now. In order not to expose her abnormality, even if she has all kinds of tricks, she has to wait until she is freed from slavery before she can use them.

After making inquiries from many sources, Chu Yuan confirmed the time when the young master would go out, which was the afternoon three days later.

He and his friend agreed to meet at a teahouse, and in the memory Chu Yuan received, the young master was injured at the door of the teahouse.

So it is most likely this day.

Chu Yuan begged the young master to take her with him when he went out, saying that her brother's birthday was coming soon and she wanted to go out to choose a gift for him.

Changsun Yizhong understood that she had never been out since she entered the mansion, so he readily agreed.

So three days later, Chu Yuan followed the eldest master's carriage out of the mansion.

Chu Yuan had inquired in advance and found out that there was a bookstore near the teahouse, so she followed the young master's carriage to the teahouse, intending to buy a few books nearby to make up the number.

When they arrived near the teahouse, before the young master got out of the car, he saw chaos ahead.

Gongsun Yizhong lifted the curtain and said, "Let's go see what happened in front."

Soon, a guard came back to report: "Sir, it is the Jingzhao government that is arresting the murderer."

"Then let's step back a few steps and not delay their work."

Chu Yuan saw the situation ahead clearly. He knew that the few constables from the Jingzhao government could not stop the murderer before them.

Maybe they will be attacked soon.

Speak of the devil, here comes a big knife flying over and nailing into the roof of the young master's carriage. Several guards stood in front to prevent the thieves from coming to hurt the young master.

It has to be said that these guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were quite capable and they fought with the murderer.

In this period of time, two groups of people have come here.

The murderer was very angry. If these people had not suddenly appeared and blocked his way, he would have escaped long ago.

Now that so many people have attracted this, he can’t escape even if he has wings.

Now the only chance of survival lies in the hands of the noble man in this car. He jumped up, took back the big knife on the roof of the car, and chopped it down hard.

"Be careful, son!"
