“Master…… This…… this……”


  Ming Shu looked at the servant who was stuttering, so the servant looked at the young man and asked nervously, “What about this man?”


  It seemed this young man had caused everything that happened just now.

  The young man lowered his head and his whole person was shaking, seemingly quite frightened.

  Ming Shu measured him with her eyes. “Give him a job.”


  “Yes.”

  The servants took several looks at the young man…… Well, a good-looking appearance was helpful.

  Ming Shu strode away. One of the servants patted the young man’s shoulder. “Come with me.”


  “O-okay.”


  The servant led the young man to the backyard. “I’m A’Hu, what’s your name?”


  Young man followed A’Hu obediently. “Rong Li.”


  A’Hu touched his own head and was a little amazed. “It sounds like a good name. Did you come here because your family fortunes declined? You must have been a rich family’s young master before.”


  People like them wouldn’t have such cultured names.

  “Well…… emm, kind of like that.”


  A’Hu continued, “Then I’ll arrange for you to do some easy work and let you get familiar with it first.”


  Rong Li felt extremely flattered. “T-thank you.”


  A’Hu looked back at him and smiled foolishly. “You’re welcome. If you become successful in the future, just don’t forget me.”


  Rong Li looked at him with confusion.

  “Nothing, nothing.” Since the alliance master just drove Lord Zhuo out of the mansion, and here came such a good-looking man, perhaps he might have some chances with the alliance master. He’d better not offend him.

  The far-sighted A’Hu arranged for Rong Li to do the cleaning job……

  Ming Shu crossed her legs and happily sun-bathed in her courtyard. Steamed Bun, the round-faced man, had spread the news these last few days, so those people in the martial world lost some interest in the Demonic Sect.

  After all, the Demonic Sect wouldn’t grow legs and disappear, but the treasure would be gone if they arrived late.

  Steamed Bun was nervous all day long.

  He was very afraid that someone might discover the alliance master had spread fake news.

  “Master.” Steamed Bun looked up at the sun. “Why are you lying here?”


  “I’m absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.”


  Absorbing the essence of the sun and moon? Were there such martial arts in their Alliance Master Mansion?

  Did the alliance master learn a new special kung fu?

  The alliance master had beaten up the Demonic Sect……

  It must be an exclusive kung fu passed on to her by the old alliance master.

  Ming Shu asked, “Is it lunchtime?”


  Steamed Bun was speechless. “No. Master, I’m here to report that no one looked for trouble with the Demonic Sect recently.”


  “Okay. What time will the food served?”


  Steamed Bun: “.……”


  Each time the alliance master would ask him when it would be meal time. What could he do about it, he was also very desperate!

  Steamed Bun reported some other trifling matters in the mansion.

  Ming Shu told him to make decisions for her.

  Steamed Bun felt sure that he would be able to seize power successfully in the near future.

  Steamed Bun left the small yard, then he saw a young man who was popping his head in and looking about at the door. He frowned. “What are you doing here?”


  The young man was in the Alliance Master Mansion’s servant uniform, with a broom in his hands. Being scolded by Steamed Bun, he immediately stood straight. “I, I am cleaning……”


  “Cleaning, well then, why are you sneaking around here?” Steamed Bun continued, “Isn’t it A’Hu that is responsible for the alliance master’s yard? Why haven’t I seen you?”


  “I’m new here. Head Wang called A’Hu to do something else, so I’m here to replace him.”


  “Steamed Bun, what are you doing over there?”


  Steamed Bun: ???

  What did alliance master just call him?

  When did he change his name? What the hell was that steamed bun!!

  Steamed Bun’s expression became very complicated, and after a moment he looked at the young man. “Go ahead then, don’t disturb alliance master.”


  Young man nodded then stepped into the yard carefully.

  Steamed Bun looked at the young man’s back and left with suspicion a moment later. He went to A’Hu who was doing something for Head Wang and confirmed there indeed was such a person in the mansion, then he was relieved……

  In the courtyard……

  Ming Shu closed her eyes in the swaying rocking chair. Her body was shrouded in the strong sunlight as if coated with a layer of golden light.

  The next second, the girl in the rocking chair suddenly opened her eyes and met with another pair of wet, clear eyes.

  “What are you doing?”


  The young man seemed to be frightened. He stepped back but then his whole body fell to the ground. He broke the skin on his palm when he scraped it against the ground.

  Ming Shu sat up from the rocking chair. “What did you want to do just now?”


  The young man lowered his head quickly. “M-master, you’re beautiful……”


  “Of course I’m beautiful, do I need you to remind me of that?” Ming Shu swept her gaze over him. “Who let you get inside?”


  “I, I came to clean,” the young man said nervously.

  “Oh.” Ming Shu lay back. “Don’t get so close to me next time. Start your work now.”


  The young man didn’t say anything and climbed up silently, beginning to sweep the floor with his broom……

  The cleaning noise sounded in the courtyard.

  Ming Shu looked sideways at the flowerpot that had just been broken by the young man, who was standing there at a loss.

  Under the burning sun, the young man’s face looked a little red. Ming Shu wondered if it was because he was nervous or because of the sun.

  He turned his head to look at Ming Shu. In his clear eyes was a mix of panic, uneasiness, nervousness……

  “I’m sorry…… sorry. I’ll, I’ll clean it up right away.” He squatted and reached out to pick up the pieces on the ground. As he touched the edge of one piece, his finger was cut in a bloody line.

  “Sih……”


  He gasped in pain.

  “What’s wrong?” Steamed Bun came in with two servants and was a little dumbfounded to see such a scene. “What happened to the flowerpot?”


  “I, I broke it by accident.”


  “How can you be so careless?” Steamed Bun frowned.

  “I’m…… I’m sorry.”


  “Enough, clean it up and leave,” Ming Shu interrupted Steamed Bun, who still wanted to say something.

  The young man followed the order and began to clean the pieces on the ground.

  Steamed Bun led the two servants to Ming Shu. “Master, they’ve prepared this freshly made summer drink for you in case of a sunstroke.”


  Ming Shu looked at the thing delivered to her, took it, and prepared to have a taste.

  “Don’t drink it!”


  The young man suddenly shouted.

  The people in the courtyard all turned to him at the same time.

  “That’s……” the young man explained nervously, “I saw someone add extra things in it. You shouldn’t drink it.”


  Ming Shu rolled her eyes internally and drank the liquid in one go.

  The young man’s eyes widened and he made to rush over, but was blocked by Steamed Bun.

  He held the young man by his thin arm. Even though he had a steamed bun-like round face, it looked quite scary now. “How did you know that?”


  The oung man was startled and explained with a pale face a moment later, “I, I saw it.”


  “Why didn’t you report it before?”


  I…… I……”


  The young man didn’t know how to answer.

  “Master, this man seems to be of unknown origin, I’ll take him away and start an interrogation.” Steamed Bun turned his head to look at Ming Shu.

  Ming Shu put down the bowl. “Let him go.”


  “Alliance Master?”


  “I said, let him go.”


  Steamed Bun frowned heavily and was very confused.

  But under Ming Shu’s gaze, he relaxed his hold slowly.

  The young man acted like a frightened mouse and shrank to one side, not daring to look up.

  Steamed Bun made a fist salute and tried to persuade Ming Shu, “Alliance Master, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. If you didn’t find it out in time, the consequences would be unthinkable. Such dangerous things would by no means be allowed to happen in your mansion.”


  “I know. Go and do your own things first.”


  In the storyline, the Host’s health condition got worse and worse and she even began to kill people uncontrollably in the end. It was all caused by Jiang Ling.

  Jiang Ling poisoned the Host day by day and finally caused her to lose her mind.

  But Ming Shu reminded Steamed Bun ahead of time, so those people were all replaced by Steamed Bun’s men.

  The drink Ming Shu had just finished was safe.

  “Alliance Master!”


  “Get down.”


  “.……Yes.”
