The Princess And The Lord

"Master its been two days" Shin Jiu whines.

"Wrong! it's only been two days" she corrects him. ​​

Shin jiu pout "Look, master, I already can make flower-shaped candy from waiting so long, one more day I could make a bunny-shaped candy," he said with grieve, she wants to be a strong cultivator, not a candy seller.

"What so bad about it, you have talent in this" Lory praised him.

But shin Jiu didn't feel happy at all, his cheek puff and his mouth pursed but he still diligently make another candy because someone does come to buy candy from him.

Its been two days since Lory and Shin Jiu pretend to be candy seller near Qian Qi Feng manor, she watch anyone who enters and exit the manor and also looking for a chance to enter the manor, its a normal surveillance jobs for her but Shin Jiu got bored easily, well he is just a child so Lory didn't blame him.

"Master, why you pay so much to rent the candy cart we only need it for a few days after all"

"It's fine, just take it as we help them" Lory perfunctorily said, she had taken a lot of money from Zhao Li Xin drawer so she's not trying to be thrifty and Zhao Li Xin is not a frugal type either so she knew he wouldn't mind.

"Master look, someone, leave the manor!" Shin Jiu grab Lory sleeve.

A maid just leaves the gate she climbs down the stairs than she walks past there cart.

"A-ha!" Lory face lit up "Let's go!" he pulls Shin Jiu to follow her.

"What about the cart?" he suddenly gets worried about all his candy.

"I buy you a new one, come on!" Lory walks in a hurry so Shin Jiu has no choice but following her.

The maid enters the tea house than she waits for a while before the shopkeeper gives her a three-layer box after the maid gives the money she walk back again, but then suddenly someone calls her from inside the alley.

"Pretty sister, can you help me?"

The maid surprised but she calmed again when she sees a young boy calling her, the boy looks decent so he is not a beggar and he also looks healthy and chubby so the maid though he is not some poor kid who tries to trap her, the maid lose her guard down and walk to the alley.

"What's wrong little boy, why are you in this place?" the maid bends her waist slightly but suddenly cover her mouth and nose with something and she becomes dizzy than a second later she lost her conscious.

The box almost falls to the ground but luckily Shin Jiu nimble enough to catch the box.

"Lory holds the unconscious maid from behind then she drags her to somewhere secluded where their carriage was waiting, she pulls the maid inside the carriage than she exchanged her clothes with the maid. When she got out Shin Jiu is waiting with his beast while holding the box.

"How do I look?" Lory asked.

"You look like a maid," he said bluntly.

"Obviously!" she wonders if she addicted to becoming maid why she always ends up as a maid? She sigh than she clapped her hand "Okay, you know what to do right!"

"Yes, master!" Shin Jiu nods his head firmly.

Lory wears the maid uniform of Qian manor she's holding the three-layer box and walk calmly to the manor, in front of the gatekeeper watch everyone who past the gate sternly, Lory slow down her pace then suddenly a boy hit the gatekeepers with dirt.

"Eat this, you rich man dog!" Shin Jiu throws another dirt to both the gatekeeper while stuck out his tongue mocking them.

"YOU NAUGHTY BRAT!" the gatekeeper shouted furiously.

Shin Jiu didn't scare he even throw another dirt on their face, people who saw them laugh at them and the gatekeeper's face turn red from anger and shammed "CATH HIM!"

"Try to catch me DOG!" he wiggle his but in front of them who only increased their anger, even more, when the gatekeepers charge toward him, Shin jiu run like a bullet and the angry gatekeepers chassed him, people, who watch the commotion laugh out loud they all of there attention absorbed by the two gatekeepers who chassed the little boy. When no one notices she enter the gate swiftly with a playful smile plastered on her face.

Lory walks calmly and she leisurely follows the group of maids who just came from the opposite direction from her and no one took notice for a strange maid who just joins in.

in the big manor like this only the old servant who memorized the face of the new maids so Lory only needs to avoid them, Lory keeps her face down while using the box to slightly hide her face than she meets young maid.

"Excuse me, where I should put this?" Lory politely asks.

The young maid looks confuse "Isn't this supposed to be San Yu's job?" she grumbles a little bit.

"It does, but someone called her so she throws her job to me?" Lory complains a little bit.

The young maid sigh "She does, like to do that" then she looks at Lory's unfamiliar face "Are you the new maid?"

"I am, but no one told me anything so I don't know what to do?" Lory look dejected as former maid in noble household Lory understand how the maids life, it's normal for a young maid to get bullied because a few reasons, like they don't want the new maid to curry favor to there master, or because the young maid is beautiful, so when lory complained no one told her anything is not uncommon thing.

The young maid feel sorry for Lory "Well I will help you if you need anything just tell me, my name Yang Yi"

"Thank you, sister Yang, my name is…Li Yi" Lory smile back at her "Can you tell me at least what I shouldn't do, I don't want to be punished by the master"

"Oh that, we are maid so we just do what they told not much restriction though" Yang Yi rubs her chin but then she remembers something "Their is one rule actually and this only happens recently, we must avoid west courtyard!" she whispered.

"What's wrong in there?" Lory leans towards her.

"I don't know, they say there's an honorable guest who is sick or something so we can't disturb him….but I don't know for sure" Yang Yi shrugs her shoulder.

"Is that so…"Lory tilted her head while her brain contemplating what should she do next.
