Meeting a friend or escaping?

"Miss Yue." Xiao Ba who was standing at the side called out with an admiring gaze, she can't believe that the seemingly six years old young miss could be this sassy.

"Why are you with this lunatic?.'' Lin Yue frowned as she look at Xiao Ba.

"It is like this Miss Yue, Young master Wen asked me to bring him to the main residence in disguise but... but if I do that and was discovered, I might be beheaded!." Xiao Ba's eyes turned red from indignation.

"Why did he want to enter the main residence? and why can't he go there with his mother? but instead ask you, a young maid and not those older maids?."

Xiao Ba was silent for a moment before explaining.

"He wanted to become the family head's disciple and so he had to go to the main residence, however, his mother didn't have an excuse to enter so she asked him to persuade one of the maids to make him pass through. The older maids can find an excuse to refuse him or report directly to the family head's Butler but... but we the younger maids required evidence to report him."

Lin Yue raised her eyebrow, "Why didn't you agree to let him enter? what if he truly became the family head's disciple?."

The reason why Lin Yue asked this was that her position as the family head's disciple was not yet announced and she was curious as to why the little girl beside her wasn't tempted to help Wen Shao, after all, his condition was tempting since all maids these days were praying to become a concubine of a rich young master.

"I don't want to become his concubine or any other thing, I just want to serve the Lins for the rest of my life, I only had a master, and that is the family head, no one else can make do what he didn't ask me to do!." Xiao Ba's expression was firm.

"Ohhh?, I understand." Lin Yue clicked her tongue before walking out of the alley.

But just as she was about to proceed in her journey to escape, countless guards drenched in sweat suddenly rushed towards her.

"Miss Yue, where have you been? we've been searching for you since."

"Yes Miss Yue, we thought...we thought that someone kidnapped you."

"Thank goodness we find you, or we could just wait to be beheaded."

Countless voices came from the burly guards and Lin Yue was flabbergasted.

She rolled her eyes before following the guards to the main residence.

After 'escorting' her back to the main residence, the guards leave and Lin Yue sighed softly before walking to the main hall.

There, Lin Huang was drinking tea leisurely.

'Which master drink tea when his disciple was missing?'

All the guilts she felt when she was leaving disappeared, she put on an amiable smile before walking over.

"Master, why do you send so many guards to search for me? I only saw a girl I like and went to chat with her but who would have thought that you would have dispatched so many guards."

Lin Huang's eyes narrowed as he placed down the teacup.

"A friend? Or you are escaping?."

Lin Yue's mouth twitched but she giggled as she sway her master's sleeve.

"Master, I saw a young maid with a pair of pretty eyes and I instantly get along with her, her name is... Xiao Ba!."

"Are you sure?." Lin Huang looks at her face carefully.

"Of course, I am."

"Then I will ask someone to call the maid over and let her be your personal maid. Other girls in the family have their own maids already." Lin Huang's expression was nonchalant.

Lin Yue's eyes darkened. Her parents had once wanted to give her her own maids but she wasn't interested, after all, it is not like she can't take care of her daily need herself but now her master wanted to use this excuse to give her a maid, she definitely has to refuse.

She stand up and stood beside him and her small hand started massaging his shoulder. "Master, I told you that she is a friend, how can I accept her as a maid.?"

Lin Huang closed his eyes and had to admit that this girl's massaging technique was quite good, she exerted the right amount of pressure with the aid of her Spiritual Qi. His tone softened but he still rejected her word.

"Just let her be a maid in disguise then, don't you want to be with your friend all the time?."

Lin Yue was silent for a moment but just as she was about to come up with another persuasion, her stomach growled.

"I forgot for a moment that you are yet to eat, quick, go and eat and let's continue from where we stop yesterday."

Lin Yue has the urge to cry but she stood up and obediently went to have her meal. After finishing her meal, she was walking back to the main hall but automatically pause when she reached the door because she could hear a woman's teary voice.

"Family head, you have to seek justice for my poor son, he is innocent but one of the maids that could secretly cultivate beat him to this stage, you have to seek justice for us!."

"Isn't that Lin Xi's voice?." Lin Yue thought.

"Did he know the person that hurt him?.'' She heard Lin Huang's voice.

Lin Xi sobs. "No, he said she was wearing a veil but he could recognize her if he were to see her again."

Lin Yue chuckled and thought. "Seems like Wen Shao was embarrassed and even hide it from his mother."
