I Am A Passerby In A Xuanhuan World - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 - Huang Feiyun and her servants
Ming You, the maidservant, looked over towards Huang Feiyun with worry in her eyes. After almost a week, her mistress finally woke up from her coma. God knows how worried she was when her mistress was found with barely a wisp of breath just outside of their dilapidated courtyard.
The injury on her mistress' body was so heavy, plus she was poisoned, even the doctor they invited have advised them to prepare for the funeral. If not because Eldest Young Master had given them a gold-ranked life-saving pill a few years ago, they don't even know if mistress could have a chance to continue living anymore.
Thinking of the suffering that her mistress had received all these years, and seeing her crying now, Ming You's mind was filled with hate and vengeance. On what reason do they have to torture her mistress like this? Just because she cannot cultivate? Or because she's the future Crown Princess? Or is it because she was an orphan, abandoned by her own family, so it's easier to be bullied?
Heaven knows, Earth knows, everyone knows that none of these are her mistress' fault at all. She wouldn't knew of her body condition when she was born, and she never asked to be engaged to the Crown Prince! Why does everyone wants to make her suffer so much?
Tears filled Ming You's eyes, but she held it in. She cannot cry now, not when her own mistress needs her support. No matter how she felt, in the end she was just a servant in Huang clan. She did not have any qualifications to preside justice for her mistress. Instead, it will just bring more trouble. So Ming You continued comforting the already stopped crying Huang Feiyun, patting her back while also checking for her injuries.
***
Huang Feiyun was embarrassed to death. Out of everything that could have happened today, being seen crying was not the most shameful thing she has ever had. But getting coaxed by her maidservant like cooing a little baby is!
No matter how you look at it, Huang Feiyun is already a 14 year old teenager. Ming You, despite her cold appearance making her looking more mature, was also only 2 years older than her. But obviously she was treated like a helpless baby lamb by Ming You right now.
"Ming You... enough coaxing already. I'm fine." In exasperation, Huang Feiyun had to call for time out. The previous Huang Feiyun was not retarded. The current her also has never been so sane. Please stop putting the bib on me and start making those ridiculous movements of copying baby talk!
"Ah? But mistress, your body is still injured. Let me at least help feed you medicine okay?" Ming You looked aggrieved as she held a spoonful of medicine with her right hand. The other hand was holding a bowl of unknown concoction that Huang Feiyun knows definitely doesn't taste good.
Huang Feiyun's lips twitched as she glanced at Ming You and saw her starry eyes full of expectations to dote and pamper her mistress.
"No need. Give me the bowl. I'll drink it myself. You go do your own job." She held out her hands towards the bowl, not caring about the disappointments in Ming You's eyes. Seriously, if you think gap moe is going to work on me, think again.
With a gulp, Huang Feiyun immediately finished her bowl of medicine.
Ming You took the empty bowl, and prepared to send it over to be cleaned. As she busied with her things, Huang Feiyun continued looking through her memories about her surroundings. She blinked for a while, then finally realized something that felt odd to her.
"By the way, Ming You. Where is Ming Zuo?" Huang Feiyun asked.
Ming Zuo is Ming You's younger twin brother. Together, the siblings worked as her personal attendants; Ming You is her personal maidservant while Ming Zuo is her bodyguard.
Despite being an uncared for existence in the clan, Huang Feiyun still is a legitimate mistress of Huang clan and also the future Crown Princess. The patriarch of the clan put forth importance on her not to be mistreated at least in basic life needs, plus her elder brother is also an inner disciple of Mysterious Star sect and is the pride of the whole clan.
So, despite the dilapidated looks of her courtyard Huang Feiyun still lived an average middle-class lifestyle if you ignore her inability to cultivate. As such, she also have the priviledge of owning a slave servant of her own which are the Ming twins.
Thankfully, the two servants have been with Huang Feiyun since childhood and were very of fond of her, therefore the twins were loyal to her even when she had lost the protection of her parents.
Since her brother left, the twins had been the one who had protected and taking care of her sincerely. Usually, the twins are always together but today she had only seen Ming You for a while.
"Ming Zuo is having his punishment at the Reflecting Hall. His punishment should be over by today." Ming You's face was calm as she stated.
Servants getting punished for not fulfilling their duties are a common thing in the clan, especially one so serious such as their master getting heavy injuries like what Huang Feiyun had. But because she was an abandoned young lady of the clan, no one cared much of her life and death and so wouldn't punish the servants for her.
It was Ming Zuo himself who seeks for his own punishment because of his sense of duty towards his mistress. In fact, Ming You would also like to do the same, but considering that her mistress has no one taking care of her while she was unconscious, decided against it.
Now that mistress had awoken, Ming You thinks that she should go receive her punishment soon too.
Huang Feiyun thought of her two servants' personality, definitely understood their thought. Her eyebrow unconsciously twitched.
The twins had been with her since childhood, and even when the Marshall couple are still alive, the whole family never treated them like servants.
Yet, somehow the twins ended up having a too servile personality that they'd end up seeking abuse even though they didn't need to. She wondered whether it was their family's education that was not right or the twins' brain that had been wired weirdly since birth? M tendencies should be stopped ah!
Huang Feiyun sighed. Then, she heard a knock on the door to her room. From the shadow hovering over the door, she can see a lean figure. Although the shadow doesn't look tall, from the imposing figure, she can see that it was a man that was behind the door.
"Speak of the devil. He's here. Well then mistress, I'll be taking my leave for a while. It's time for me to receive my punishment." Ming You spoke like it was a matter of fact. She moved to open the door without needing an order.
And as Huang Feiyun thought, a young man of 16 stood with the stiff posture of a servant in front of the door. Probably because of blood relationship, he looked similar to Ming You.
But compared to Ming You's cold expressionless beautiful looks, his features was more towards the cold, stern, handsome type. The person was Ming Zuo, her bodyguard.
Ming You, the maidservant, looked over towards Huang Feiyun with worry in her eyes. After almost a week, her mistress finally woke up from her coma. God knows how worried she was when her mistress was found with barely a wisp of breath just outside of their dilapidated courtyard.
