After Dressing Up As a Little Fulang

Zang Mansion.

Xiao Cui got up early in the morning. Others got up at the end of the fifth watch, but she got up right at the beginning of the fifth watch (5 AM).

After getting up, Xiao Cui tidied herself up gently, counted all the money she had gotten yesterday, and planned to give the money to An Yun while delivering medicine to him later.

Xiao Cui gently touched the money in her purse, and when she thought of An Yun’s happy look upon receiving it, she couldn’t help but smile.

Xiao Cui was ready, going to the kitchen to tidy up as usual, and then going to pick out the medicine the fulang drank today and boil it as quickly as possible, so that the medicine would be more effective.

Xiao Cui couldn’t help but smile a little as she thought about seeing An Yun and happily went out. However, she was soon blocked by Xiao Miao.

Xiao Cui looked at Xiao Miao, who suddenly appeared in front of her with a proud expression, and felt a bit confused. “What are you going to do?”

“What am I doing? I know all the dirty things you did in the house. Now, I will take you to see Miss Qing Yue. When you see Miss Qing Yue, she will be able to punish you.”

Xiao Cui’s eyes widened a bit. Although she knew that Xiao Miao wasn’t going to deal with her directly, she didn’t expect Xiao Miao to be so vicious.

Xiao Cui quickly reacted and struggled hard to break free from Xiao Miao’s grip. At the same time, she shouted, “Why are you taking me to Miss Qing Yue? I am the same maidservant as you. You are not qualified.”

“I’m not qualified? Even if I’m not, you still have to come with me!” Xiao Miao tightened her grip on Xiao Cui’s hand, and two people rushed out from the side, one on the left and one on the right. The three of them worked together to take Xiao Cui to Miss Qing Yue’s room.

Xiao Cui wanted to struggle again, but Xiao Miao added, “I have told Miss Qing Yue everything. If you are more sensible and come with me obediently, you will suffer less. If you continue to resist, you won’t get any good results from Miss Qing Yue, and you’ll be punished for an additional crime of disobeying.”

Xiao Cui was stunned and then quickly calmed down. She stopped struggling, seemingly accepting her fate. Only the occasional trembling of her fingers showed that she was not completely calm.

Xiao Miao looked at Xiao Cui’s ashen face and couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth. She felt that Xiao Cui deserved it. If she hadn’t done those dirty things, she wouldn’t be in this situation.

Xiao Miao took Xiao Cui directly to the door of Qing Yue’s room and called out before entering.

As the general manager of the young master’s yard, Qing Yue had her own separate room, with both a bedroom and a living room.

Seeing Xiao Miao and Xiao Cui come in, Qing Yue put down the account book in her hand, looked up at them, and asked, “Why are you two here?”

Xiao Miao quickly removed Xiao Cui’s purse from her waist and presented it to Qing Yue with a tone full of meanness. “Miss Qing Yue, this is the maid who bought lip balm outside and returned to the house to sell it. She treats the whole mansion as her personal money bag and dares to act recklessly. Please check it!”

Xiao Cui knelt on the ground with a thump, her movements quite forceful, and the sound she made was particularly clear in the quiet room.

“Miss Qing Yue, I didn’t do it. It’s just that the sisters who live together needed it, so I got those lip balms,” Xiao Cui said eagerly, trying to frame it as mutual help.

Qing Yue didn’t speak. She merely looked down at the person kneeling on the ground, then examined the purse, opening it to count the coins inside. There were dozens of taels. To the master, this money might only be the cost of a meal, but to servants like them, it was quite a lot.

It was evident how much lip balms this money could buy and how much lip balms this maid had brought.

After counting the money, Qing Yue tightened the purse and placed it on the low table next to her. Then she looked at Xiao Cui with no visible emotion but with a particularly harsh tone. “This is where you work and where you are on duty. But you dare to buy and sell lip balm from outside, tell me where you buy it and how!”

When Xiao Cui heard Qing Yue’s words, she was a little confused. She didn’t buy the lip balm from any stores; An Yun had taken her to make this lip balm.

Xiao Cui knew the matter was serious, but she couldn’t let An Yun take the risk. So, she kowtowed hard and said to Qing Yue, “I will tell you everything!”

.

An Yun slept on the bed. Because of his weak body, even when others felt it was too hot to cover themselves with the quilt, he still did. Although it was a thin bed, it allowed him to sleep comfortably.

That day, An Yun suddenly had a nightmare, dreaming that someone was pinching him very hard. He couldn’t help but shudder and then opened his eyes, waking up.
