After Dressing Up As a Little Fulang

As An Yun stepped out of the threshold, he didn’t notice that as soon as he turned around, an unusually familiar figure quickly sprang out from the corner of the door and then disappeared on the path in front of him.

An Yun took the golden bead back and felt much happier, which also made Xiao Cui, who was following him, happy.

After returning to the room, An Yun did not rush to take a lunch break. Instead, he sat down and carefully examined the golden bead for a while. During this time, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiao Cui looked at his actions and chuckled, then said, “Fulang, you look very happy.”

An Yun looked up at Xiao Cui, thought of his plan, put away the bead, looked at the person standing in front of him, and suddenly said, “Xiao Cui, I have something to ask you. Please help me.”

Qing Ri walked very quickly, and soon after leaving the kitchen, he arrived at the water pavilion where Zang Ya was staying.

It was a loft-style house with a huge water wheel next to it, causing water to flow from the pipe to the roof, spreading along the middle, cascading down the edge of the tiles, and finally quietly returning to the small lake guided by rain bells.

The house was specially soundproofed, so despite the loud sound of the waterwheel outside, inside, only a faint murmur could be heard.

When Qing Ri entered, his young master was seated on a mat in casual attire, holding a book in hand. Judging from the title on the cover, the book seemed to be about the history of the previous dynasty.

Qing Ri’s steps were swift but graceful. He approached Zang Ya and softly called out, “Young master.”

Zang Ya raised his head and looked toward him.

Without waiting to be asked, Qing Ri promptly reported what he had observed, “I followed and witnessed the maid presenting the reward to the cook. The cook attempted to pass it to An Fulang, but the fulang hesitated. Eventually, An Fulang accepted the golden bead while the cook took the silver leaf. From their conversation, it was clear that today’s meal was indeed prepared under An Fulang’s direction.”

After stating this, Qing Ri paused, awaiting his young master’s response. He noticed Zang Ya gazing at him, seemingly hesitant to speak.

Sensing this, Qing Ri had a sudden insight and added, “When An Fulang received the golden bead, he tried to conceal his joy, but it was evident that he was very happy.”

This time, Zang Ya’s expression softened slightly, a faint smile touching his lips as he finally spoke, “I know that young shuanger isn’t particularly clever, even a small thing can bring him lasting happiness.”

Qing Ri didn’t answer, just lowered his head slightly.

Zang Ya put his chin on the table with one hand for a long time. He quickly thought of something and ordered to the maid who was waiting quietly next to him: “Wen Xuan, go tell Qing Yue and ask her to bring the white jade in my warehouse. Take out the jade rabbit and give it to this ignorant little shuanger, so that he could learn more about things. It was just a golden bead; he should not be so happy for a worthless little thing.”

The maid named Wen Xuan was a little shocked when she heard this, and couldn’t help but say: “But, that was a gift from the madam to the young master? Isn’t it too much to give it to a shuanger?”

Zang Ya listened to her excited tone, the expression on his face did not change, he just raised his eyes and looked at her lightly.

Wen Xuan said those words out of excitement. When she met Zang Ya’s eyes and looked at him for a moment, she felt more and more panicked in her heart.

Wen Xuan was shocked and realized that she had crossed the line.

She knelt down and rested her forehead on the ground. Her tone was trembling, “Young master, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have questioned your decision.”

Wen Xuan had an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and cherry lips. She was at her best age of sixteen.

The way she knelt down with tears in her eyes seemed a bit pitiful as a beautiful woman.

If a man saw her like this, he would have forgotten about the mistakes she had made, even if the man had no feeling for her.

It was a pity that Zang Ya was not a romantic man. He even felt the maid kneeling in front of him was being noisy.

“Quiet.”

As soon as that sound came out, Wen Xuan didn’t even dare to sob softly for sympathy. She could only kneel there honestly, waiting for her superior to punish her.

Seeing her obedience, Zang Ya felt less irritated and said, “Tell Qing Yue what I just said.”

Wen Xuan felt relieved, thinking that Zang Ya had forgotten her previous offense, and immediately responded, “Yes, I will go and inform her right away.”

“Then go have your three hits by yourself.”

The smile on Wen Xuan’s face froze, and she raised her eyes to plead for herself, but she met Zang Ya’s emotionless gaze. She immediately suppressed her plea and abruptly said, “Yes, I accept your order.”

Her legs felt weak, but she managed to walk out of the waterside pavilion. Only then did tears well up in Wen Xuan’s eyes.

Thinking of the young master’s instructions just now, Wen Xuan hated that lowly shuanger. She was clearly the maid chosen by the madam for the young master, but now she was being punished for a lowly shuanger. He was taking advantage of the clean backyard and benefiting from it.
