Chapter 309: Filling The Dots-II
A loud crash filled the entire corridor some maid who also passed by the corner hurried to see a maid had fallen down above Yue. Xiao Yun didn't took a clear look as it happened fast and when she knew it, Yue had stumbled behind while the blue porcelain vase had broken into pieces beside her.
Yue held the maid's body to protect her from injuring herself although in process he felt his back throb from the fall. The first thing he had to check first was whether his wig was still over his head and fortunately it did or else it will be hard to explain himself why he had to wear wig to Xiao Yun who stood right beside him when his hair was perfectly fine.
The maid look in horror when she realized who she had collapsed on and she quickly jerked up, Yue pulled her hand with his eyes snapping to the maid.
"Don't move rashly! The shards of the vase are sharp!" he warned with an underlaying anger that was about to burst out of it dam. The maid did what he said and scooter off carefully.
Once the maid and Yue stood up Xiao Yun lend his hand to help him to gain his balance. Once Yue stood up, Xiao Yun eyed her appearance first to see whether she had been injured from the fall and fortunately she saw nothing for now.
"Hadn't someone told you that it was dangerous and not to run in the corridor?" Asked Xiao Yun for the maid to feel smaller at her spot. Never did the maid expect that Yue and Xiao Yun would be in the same place! The reason for her to run with the vase in truth was because she wanted to avoid Yue's scolding.
In the afternoon, Yue had pressed his order to change all the water in the vases and it was the maid's job to take care of the vases located around the North corridor. But due to her laziness, the maid had forgotten one vase and hurried herself to change the vase before Yue could see her mistake. Her hand fidget and her eyes looked down to the ground in fear.
"I'm sorry!" the maid apologized with tears on her eyes, "I was in a hurry to change the vase."
It may be an accident but It happened due to the maid's carelessness and it wasn't something easy for anyone or Xiao Yun to brush it off. With one careless mistake, of it wasn't Yue who she pushed and if something dangerous was behind her it would harm the head maid.
Yue knit his brows strongly, "That is not a reason for you to run! Thankfully it was me but what if it was someone else?!" he raised his voice but not enough to come like a loud screeching.
Yue lifted his hand to feel his clothes were drenched with the vase water and sighed, "Clean this mess and come meet me in the head maid's room."
The maid had a surprised and sullen look once his room was mentioned. Every once a maid make a horrible mistake, the hair maid would personally cut them off to either, scold them the whole night, cut down their salary, or worse to fire them. The maid wished for not the other last two to be chosen but Yue wasn't kindhearted enough to let the dim witted maid who almost blow up his cover goes without a consequence.
That damned maid, thought Yue to himself, he would make sure her career end tonight! He was being too easy to the maid who could do nothing but create trouble atop of troubles.
"Are you alright? Any pain?" Xiao Yun asked for him to shake his head.
"I'm fine." he replied briefly his hand feeling his back. Thankfully his body was built from the excessive martial art he learned from Tian Yi or else know he was sure his body would break from shielding the heavy maid.
However, Xiao Yun had took his hand before his reply ended. "What are you saying? Look there are bloods on your hand." she said to tug Yue's long sleeves to see which part of her hand was harmed. However, there was not any wound on her arm thinking it was weird, Xiao Yun then thought that perhaps the wound was around the upper arm and pull his sleeve further when in a blink of an eye, Yue draw his hand from her.
Holding his right hand which Xiao Yun had folded his sleeves with his left hand, Yue saw Xiao Yun's surprised eyes when he suddenly retract his hand to quickly say. "I will be going to change my clothes, miss. Excuse me." with those words, Yue turned his body to his room with quick strides.
Xiao Yun turned her back from facing Yue who had strode in haste to the opposite direction hey had came from. Was she sensitive with her hand? For some reason when Xiao Yun was about to pull the sleeve further, she could feel the cold glare that Yue gave.
Yue ran fast to her room once there was no people on the corridor and turned the knob of his room to shut the door tight. Inside his room, the brows her drew in concentration relaxed slightly. He tugged the end of the ribbon behind his waist to open the white apron and tossed it aside to the bed.
Pulling the zipper from his back he took off the upper blouse of his dress for his muscular body that was hidden beneath the fabric to show up. On the upper right hand and on his upper left hand was a black inked tattoo of a black apricot that he had since his teenager years.
"That was close," he sighed. His hand stopped at the tattoo that Xiao Yun was about to see. If she did, he knew that the lady could pegged him as a mole sent by Wang Li Lei's enemy when he wasn't and thankfully she didn't saw it.
Taking off his wig, his black hair stick out. He took off all his clothing except for his trouser he wore beneath for his the corner of his eyes to caught on the small picture frame that he placed across the vanity table...
