C11 Gentleness
She had forgotten that after the experiences of her past life, she had managed to get rid of her false reputation, but the truth was that the reputation of this young girl was extremely important.
"It's fine. Arrange a room for him in the courtyard. If anyone asks, just tell them that it's a servant I brought back."
She looked back into the candlelight at the fool's smile and said, "Don't arrange for him to work. He probably won't be able to do it either."
"All right, miss …"
Xiao Leng felt helpless as well. When could Miss' bad habit of picking people everywhere be cured?
"Idiot, why don't you follow Xiao Leng, she will take you to a warm room."
Hearing someone call him, the fool stood up. He walked to her side and carefully pulled her hand. "Then is elder sister going?"
"You fool, of course Miss wouldn't go. Do you know that men and women shouldn't be so intimate? "It's all thanks to Miss's kindness that you took advantage of me."
The corner of Xiao Leng's mouth glanced downwards, unhappiness written all over her face.
Wu Ziling sighed. "Alright, a fool is a fool. He won't understand even if you tell him so much."
When Xiao Leng heard this, she showed some restraint. Seeing her act this way, Wu Ziling added, "Although he is a fool, don't bully him either."
Xiao Leng was a little unconvinced, "Miss, why do you keep picking weird people to come back? Look, Yan Handong is angry with you for giving you such a weird girl this afternoon."
"Xiao Leng!"
Wu Ziling shouted in a low voice, her face turning grim.
Xiao Leng immediately realized that she had overstepped her boundaries. With a pale face, she knelt down abruptly. "Miss, I was wrong! It's Xiao Leng who has overstepped her boundaries! "
Wu Ziling squatted down and pulled her up under her stunned gaze. "Xiao Leng, you don't need to do this."
"Young mistress..."
Xiao Leng seemed to be frightened. She had never thought that she would be dragged up by the Miss. In her heart, the Miss was an inviolable existence.
"Xiao Leng, did you know? It is because he is a fool that I dared to bring him back. "
With the lesson from her previous life, no matter how compassionate she was, it was impossible for her to pick up someone who was a threat to her!
A fool, best.
Xiao Leng was no fool. When she thought about what had happened in the past few days, she suddenly came to a realization. "I understand, Miss."
"Right, what did I tell you to do today?"
When she returned, she was in a very sorry state and had no time to pay attention to this matter. Only now did she remember.
Xiao Leng's expression was filled with disappointment and helplessness. "Miss, some of them don't believe me …"
After all, Miss's attitude towards Yan Handong was well-known. Now that she gave such an order, many people thought that she was joking.
Wu Ziling's eyes darkened. "I understand. It's too late. Bring him back to rest."
"Yes, miss …"
Xiao Leng walked out of the room in a daze. She patted her face, but did not slow down.
How could Miss be so gentle to her?
Was she dreaming?
The next day, Wu Ziling woke up and called for the servants and the housekeeper in the courtyard.
A group of servants appeared in the courtyard and whispered to each other. They all pondered over what Wu Ziling's actions were.
Yan Handong and Lin Qing were among them. They stood together and wondered why Wu Ziling did this.
What was she trying to do?
When the sun was about to set, the servants started to get restless. Some of them could not stand any longer and ran to Yan Handong's side, flattering him: "Young Master Yan, you have a good relationship with Miss. Why don't you go look for her? The Miss will definitely not say anything about you. Furthermore, with your identity, how could you bear such hardships with us? "
Yan Handong's mood improved a lot after being praised. Before he said anything, Lin Qingqing had also secretly pulled on her sleeve and said: "Brother Yan, the sun makes me feel a little uncomfortable …"
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her face. Her lips were slightly pale.
Yan Handong gently caressed her soft and tender hands in a place that others couldn't see, silently comforting her.
He then walked to Xiao Leng, who was in the hallway, and greeted her with a look of anticipation.
"Xiao Leng, when will Ziling come out?" Everyone in the courtyard is getting anxious. With the sun being so scorching, it's not good to let someone die in the sun. "
Xiao Leng glanced at him expressionlessly. Thinking of her young miss' request in the early morning, she said without changing her expression, "Just you wait. When Miss wants to come out, she will come out."
Having his face rejected in front of everyone, Yan Handong's face froze. He looked at the servants who were staring at him with burning eyes and forcefully maintained the smile on his face.
"What is Ziling doing inside?" It was time for her to wake up? "Just let me know and tell him that I've been waiting here for a long time."
After he emphasized the last few words, a hint of impatience flashed across Xiao Leng's eyes. She then said, "Young Master Yan, Miss has instructed me to ignore anyone who calls for me."
"Then are you sure it includes me?"
Yan Handong's gaze turned cold. Wu Ziling had admitted to liking him personally!
"That's right, Xiao Leng. Who doesn't know that Young Master Yan will be the future young master of our General's House? If you don't even listen to the words of the young master, you don't want to stay in the General's House anymore, right?"
In the courtyard, a slightly plump attendant was the first to speak, and a flattering smile hung on his face.
Xiao Leng frowned and a trace of disgust appeared on her face.
This young servant was called Little Fatty. He was a lecherous and vulgar person, and he was used to flattering others. When Yan Handong arrived, he was somehow sent to serve Yan Handong.
"That's right... "Young Master Yan is different from the rest in the heart of the ladies. He is still the general's disciple. Who in the family could have such honor?"
Another manservant answered, and Xiao Leng's face was as calm as water.
"Miss specifically mentioned it, including Young Master Yan. It doesn't matter who comes to urge her."
She looked at Yan Handong with a hint of sarcasm on her lips, "If Young Master Yan doesn't believe me, then Young Master Yan will know after knocking on the door and I will not stop him."
Yan Handong couldn't keep up with her scornful attitude. He shook his sleeves and walked to the door with a cold snort. His tone became very gentle as if his face had changed.
"Ziling, it's already late in the morning. If you're awake, come out. Everyone in the courtyard is waiting anxiously."
He knocked on the door and raised his voice slightly to make sure that the people inside could hear him.
After a while, a few long sounds came from inside. "Xiao Leng, didn't you say that no one is allowed to disturb me?"
"Miss, Xiao Leng failed in her duty."
Xiao Leng had already expected such an outcome. She glanced at Yan Handong with pride in her eyes.
Yan Handong's face turned green and his voice turned tight, "Ziling, could it be that yesterday's matter made you unhappy? If you come out, can I apologize to you properly? "
"Xiao Leng, chase the rest of the people down. If you commit another offense, we'll punish you."
The voice that came from within the house was impatient. The servants in the courtyard were so frightened that they hid their heads and secretly sent her a look, not daring to say a single word.
Yan Handong's face completely darkened. Xiao Leng nodded towards the room and then looked at Yan Handong: "Young Master Yan, you heard it. Let's go."
