After Dressing Up As a Little Fulang

The guard at the gate looked at Xiao Cui, then at the things in her basket, and stared at her with a somewhat unfriendly look. “Do you need these things for your kitchen?”

Xiao Cui felt uncomfortable under the guard’s gaze, but thinking of An Yun who was still waiting for her, she knew she couldn’t leave the items behind. She hurriedly offered a pleasing smile and replied, “Yes, these are the items I went to buy with Chef Zheng’s approval.”

The guard listened to Xiao Cui’s words and, seeing her face nearly frozen in a forced smile, averted his gaze. He then said, “In that case, go on in!”

Xiao Cui was happy to hear these words. Her face brightened with a smile, and she picked up her things and went inside.

Looking at Xiao Cui’s departing figure, one of the guards said, “I’ll go tell Miss Qing Yue.”

After saying that, he turned around and went inside.

The guard soon arrived at Qing Yue’s room. She was packing up the things Zang Ya was going to take and was somewhat surprised to hear about the flowers. She was unsure of what Xiao Cui was doing with them but still agreed and let the guards leave.

After the guard left, Qing Yue also put away the packed clothes and went to Zang Ya’s place with the news she just received.

.

Zang Ya was standing in front of his weaponry, wearing a sturdy short suit and picking out the weapons he wanted to take with him. Although there was no expression on his face, it somehow gave people the impression that he was not very happy.

When Qing Yue entered, Zang Ya had just finished selecting the longsword and dagger he intended to take and handed them to the attendant beside him to carry.

After he finished, Zang Ya turned his head to look at Qing Yue.

Qing Yue bowed toward Zang Ya, her tone was respectful. “Young master, I have packed your traveling clothes for this trip, so you can leave at any time.”

Zang Ya nodded.

Qing Yue added, “Just now, the guards at the gate reported that the little maid beside An Fulang brought back a lot of flowers, as well as porcelain jars.”

Zang Ya raised an eyebrow at these words. He then thought about the things he saw An Yun do in his day-to-day life and vaguely guessed what he was planning. Remembering the way Song Ningxiang treated her pet that day at the Song family home, he formed a definite idea in his mind.

Zang Ya turned his head toward Qing Yue and commanded, “I know about this. Let him do whatever he wants in the future; he won’t be able to make any waves.”

“Yes.”

Zang Ya still wanted to give further orders when another guard ran over to the door, saluted him, and quickly said, “Young master, the general said that he is about to depart and sent me to ask if you are ready.”

Zang Ya withdrew the words that were on his lips and instructed Qing Yue, “This time, you should not go along. Stay in the mansion and take care of that little shuanger. If I come back and he is sick again, you know the consequences.”

“Yes!”

After that, Zang Ya said no more, took his own guards, let the servants carry his things, and left with great strides.

Qing Yue watched Zang Ya’s departing figure and made a decision. Although she could not directly send someone in, she could still have someone keep an eye on An Yun to avoid any sudden accidents while the young master was away.

.

When Xiao Cui returned to An Yun’s courtyard with her things, she found an uninvited guest in the courtyard. Seeing that person, Xiao Cui’s face changed for a moment.

In the past, the maids who come to An Yun’s place was sent on orders, usually only bringing the items An Yun needed and leaving quickly, without any delay.

Xiao Cui was different because An Yun treated her specially, so she was kept there.

However, seeing Xiao Miao, who should not have been there at this time, Xiao Cui’s brows furrowed as she asked, “Why are you here?”

Xiao Miao revealed a provocative smile toward Xiao Cui. “I am here to deliver something to the fulang. Chef Zheng made new dim sum, so I am delivering it to him.”

Xiao Cui frowned even more tightly, turning her head to look at An Yun. Her tone grew slightly louder, “Fulang, the things you wanted, I bought them back.”

When An Yun heard that, he immediately walked up, his tone filled with excitement. “Bought it back?”

Then he realized something, and turned his head toward Xiao Miao, and said with some embarrassment, “Xiao Miao, I’m sorry to bother you to send me something today, but you can go back now.”

It was not easy for Xiao Miao to find such an opportunity to come over and build relationships. She was unwilling to leave just like that.

However, she could still read faces, and when she saw that An Yun wanted her to leave, she managed to pull out a smile and reluctantly said, “In that case, I will leave first.”

After saying that, Xiao Miao walked toward the door. When she reached it, she turned around and looked through the doorway at Xiao Cui, who was showing something to An Yun, and saw that An Yun also had a happy look on his face.

Xiao Miao wanted to take a closer look, but Xiao Cui seemed to sense her gaze, causing An Yun to stop his action and turn his head toward her.

When Xiao Cui saw Xiao Miao, her eyes narrowed slightly. She quickly walked over and closed the door with a bang.

Xiao Miao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and spat toward the door. “This little bitch, I’ll squeeze you out sooner or later.”

.

Inside, Xiao Cui not cared about her. Thinking about the distorted look on Xiao Miao’s face just now, she even felt a bit more joyful in her heart.

Xiao Cui returned to An Yun’s side and smiled at him. “Fulang, for the lip balm this time, why don’t you let me do it with Lu He? No need for you to work hard on it.”

An Yun was a bit hesitant upon hearing this, but looking at Xiao Cui’s eager gaze, he thought about it and still nodded. “Okay, then I will let you two help me.”
