Chapter 469: Lucky
It was already late at night and the Prime Minister's Mansion was very quiet. Basically everyone had gone to bed.
Cheng Yun'er just walked straight forward. It was pitch black everywhere, but she seemed to have night vision and walked without stopping at all.
Xiao He's heart was pounding. Miss, what happened? She used to be a second-class maid. Although she didn't serve closely, she knew that Cheng Yun'er had never gone out at night.
Why was she so abnormal today? When she left the yard just now, she thought the young lady was just going to take a stroll and go back, so she didn't call other maids. Unexpectedly, she walked further and further away.
As they arrived at the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao He felt even more uneasy because there were not many people there.
The wind blew the leaves, making a rustling sound and the shadows of the trees swayed. Cheng Yun'er just walked straight forward. Although Xiao He was extremely scared, he still followed closely behind her.
I don't know how long they walked, but Cheng Yun'er suddenly stopped without any warning. Xiao He was following her closely and almost bumped into her, so he stopped in a hurry.
Cheng Yun'er was standing there motionless, her eyes staring straight in one direction. Xiao He didn't understand what was going on, so he looked in the direction she was pointing.
In front of her was a group of small, low houses. She remembered this place; it was where the gardeners lived. The front row was residential, and the row on the right was a warehouse filled with all kinds of flowers.
Judging from the weather, it might rain tomorrow. Although it is very late now, there is still a gardener moving the flower pots one by one into the warehouse.
Cheng Yun'er's eyes were fixed on the gardener who was moving the flower pots. She looked at him intently with a burning light in her eyes.
This gardener was new, and Xiao He didn't know him. The distance between them was quite far, so he could only see a rough outline of him. He was a young man.
He is about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong build and a rough appearance. He can lift a large flower pot in one go without any effort.
Xiao He was puzzled. What was the young lady doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? What was there to see in a gardener?
Cheng Yun'er looked at him and walked towards him unconsciously.
Seeing that all the flower pots were almost moved, the gardener did not intend to stop and continued to concentrate on the task at hand.
"Cousin, is that you?" Suddenly a clear and pleasant voice sounded from behind him. The gardener turned his head and looked towards the source of the voice.
Xiao He was not paying attention and did not realize that Cheng Yun'er had walked over there. Just as he was about to follow her, he heard Cheng Yun'er talking to the gardener.
It was really not nice for the young lady to talk to others at this time of night, but as a maid, it would be even more inappropriate for her to rashly go out and stop them.
I could only stand there and worry.
As it was too dark, the gardener could not see the appearance of the woman in front of him clearly, but he could vaguely see that she had a pretty face, and he thought she must be a beauty.
What decent girl would be out talking to a man at this late hour of the night? It must be that some maid had taken a fancy to him and threw herself into his arms at night.
The gardener put down what he was holding, straightened his back, and looked at Cheng Yun'er with fiery eyes: "It's me, my cousin."
When Cheng Yun'er heard the voice, her heart instantly became excited. In the past, her cousin had always been cold to her. This was the first time that her cousin spoke to her in such a gentle voice.
My heart felt as sweet as honey. I suddenly felt shy and lowered my head shyly. After a long while, I stammered, "I came here specially to see you."
The gardener looked at her shy appearance. As an adult, he knew what she was thinking. Since the girl had hinted at her, it seemed unreasonable for him, a grown man, not to take action.
He stretched out his hand and accurately held Cheng Yuner's hands in his palms. Cheng Yuner's hands were well maintained, soft and smooth, making people love to hold them.
The gardener couldn't help but rub it back and forth. Cheng Yun'er saw that her cousin was actually pulling her hand, and she shyly wanted to pull her hand back, but her cousin pulled it even tighter.
"Don't move! Let me touch it carefully." The gardener rubbed it back and forth. The little hand was well maintained. It didn't look like a maid's hand at all. A rich lady's hand might be no more than this.
I think this maid can't be bad looking. She must be a senior maid serving the master, otherwise how could she have such small hands?
If he really gets together with the eldest maid, then his work in the mansion will be much easier in the future. Thinking of this, the gardener became even happier.
"Cousin, it's late at night, and the wind is strong and the dew is heavy outside. Come with me into the house and talk." The gardener lowered his voice, bent down slightly, and whispered softly into her ear.
As the sound of speaking came, hot air sprayed onto Cheng Yuner's neck, and she felt tingling and numb, a feeling she had never experienced before.
As her cousin approached, a unique masculine scent rushed towards her. Cheng Yun'er's heart beat faster and her face turned hot.
She wanted to reach out and touch her hot cheek, but found that her hand was still tightly held by her cousin. When their hands were clasped together, the thick calluses on his palms scratched her hands, making her feel a little uncomfortable. It turned out that her cousin had been holding a sword for many years and it was so hard. She felt even more distressed for Si Chengxu.
She heard her cousin asking her to go inside to talk, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. But how could she refuse her cousin's words?
The sound came out of his mouth like a mosquito, humming a few words, making it difficult to hear clearly.
The gardener was overjoyed. He thought to himself that he was so lucky today that such a good thing could happen to him. He would go to the temple to burn incense to the Buddha next time. This must be the arrangement of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Otherwise, how could he have the chance to have such a good thing as a pie falling from the sky? Fortunately, he came to work in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If he had known that such a good thing would happen, he would have come earlier.
But it's not too late now. As long as you serve this maid well, you will definitely get benefits from him in the future.
He let go of one of Cheng Yun'er's hands, and instead boldly put his arm around her shoulders, hugging her as they walked into the room.
Xiao He couldn't hear clearly what they were saying because he was far away. He was still hesitating whether to go over to remind the young lady, but he actually saw the gardener hugging the young lady and walking towards the room.
She was so shocked that her mouth could fit a duck egg. Who could tell her what was going on? Why did her young lady go to the servants' room with a gardener?
Oh, heaven! Oh, earth! Could it be that she was hallucinating? However, Cheng Yun'er was willing to go with him on her own initiative. She was just a maid, so how could she care about her master's affairs?
A struggle between conscience and desire suddenly began in her mind. One of the little figures on the left told her to go quickly and stop the young lady, and the other little figure shouted, "How many heads do you want to chop off? That's the young lady. How can a maid like you judge whether what the young lady did is right or wrong?"
Before Xiao He could figure out what to do, he saw the gardener carrying Cheng Yun'er into the room and closing the door tightly.
