âYoung Miss... Iâm too busy to tend to this. F-f-find someone else,â cried a servant boy with a trembling voice, as looked at QingâEr with a completely shocked look on his face. Flustered, he grabbed a rag and then started frantically wiping everywhere.
QingâEr stared at him in fixation with burning anxiety in her heart.
With both hands upon her hips, she angrily exclaimed, âDo you know whoâs upstairs?â
âYoung Miss, it doesnât matter who it is, Iâm currently really busy and cannot step away. I beg you let me go!â Begged the servant boy.
He hung his head in guilt, then enthusiastically wiped the clean table.
QingâEr summoned her strength and suddenly viciously kicked the servant boy. âCoward!â She yelled.
âAhhh! Young Miss, your kick hurt!â Bawled the servant boy, as he hugged his leg with both hands.
QingâEr shot him an angry look, then spun around to leave.
None of them will help her, so all she could do was carry the water on her own.
âMiss, perhaps I can help you?â Offered Han Moxi with a smile, as he leaned up against a nearby stone pillar.
He followed this maid since she left the room and saw her get rejected after asking several people for help.
This was a great opportunity to be able to go into that room and see what on earth could possibly be so scary.
QingâEr suddenly squinted and scanned the man blocking her path.
He had a clean and fair complexion, a sharp jawline, a pair of slender amorous eyes beneath his cutting brows, a straight nose bridge, and moderately pink thick lips.
A bad person! That was QingâErâs first impression of Han Moxi.
Then, she blinked softly and said with a clear voice, âCan you lift?â
Han Moxi stared at the little maid in front of him with big eyes, a button nose, and small lips. Then, he raised his brows, rolled up his sleeves and exposed his biceps.
âMiss, are you satisfied now?â He chuckled.
QingâEr hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands, spun around and hastily blurted, âFollow me!â
Han Moxi saw the red tint of QingâErâs cheeks, pulled his sleeves back down and laughed.
âYou may relax now, Miss. I definitely wonât do a worse job than those servant boys.â
QingâEr walked faster and crumpled her face.
âHow could she be so stupid to agree so easily? What if this person had evil intentions?â She wailed inside. Could she go back on her words now?!
Forget it. If this person dares step out of line, sheâll definitely fight him with everythingâs she got!
Han Moxi caught up with QingâEr. When he noticed the scrunched up expression on her face, he couldnât help but laugh. âMiss, why is your face all crumpled up?â
QingâEr twitched the corner of her mouth for a second, then stared at the blinking Han Moxi with a face full of distrust. âWhy do you want to help me?â
Han Moxiâs eyes shifted, as he looked at QingâEr with a sincere look on his face. âMiss, do I look like someone who deceives people?â
QingâEr looked at Han Moxiâs appearance and flatly said, âYou canât tell with swindlers.â
Han Moxi thought about it with sweat running down his face and laughed. âMiss, Iâll prove that Iâm not a swindler with real actions.â
QingâEr shot Han Moxi a glance. If this person is kind-hearted enough to help her, then would she not be wrongly accusing a good person?
When she thought about Liu Rushuang, all other thoughts slipped her mind. âHurry! Letâs go!â She cried urgently.
âMiss, I wonder what kind of person in that room needs this water?â Asked Han Moxi with a face full of curiosity.
âSo youâre concerned about the person inside?â Asked QingâEr threateningly as she glared at Han Moxi.
âNo, Miss. Youâve misunderstood. I was just a little curious,â retorted Han Moxi quickly.
QingâEr stared at the sincere look on Han Moxiâs face and pointed at his nose.
âYou best not have any ill thoughts. Otherwise, donât blame me for treating you rudely.â
âYes!â Replied Han Moxi repeatedly.
