Chapter 145 - 145 Can You Move?
145 Can You Move?
With Butler Ma’s permission, Ji Zhao found an old cloth bag from the kitchen. She planned to pick some osmanthus flowers and dry them in the sun.
Dry osmanthus flowers could not only be used to make pastries, but also to make perfume sachets.
After all, she and Shen Yao had already expressed their feelings for each other. Moreover, Shen Yao had given her many gifts before.
At the thought of Shen Yao, Ji Zhao subconsciously caressed the hairpin in her bun. There was a hint of sweetness in her heart.
She planned to make an osmanthus perfume sachet for Shen Yao personally.
After tidying up the kitchen, Ji Zhao walked to the golden osmanthus tree in the backyard.
A gust of wind blew, and golden stamens covered the ground. It was beautiful.
Ji Zhao slowly squatted on the ground and carefully picked up the osmanthus petals on the ground.
Soon, the cloth bag was bulging.
Satisfied, she turned around and was about to leave when a grayish-brown figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Are you the new maid in the residence?” The young man reeked of alcohol. His eyes were triangular and his nose was flat. His mouth was so big that it exceeded the scope of human knowledge.
The smell of alcohol almost made Ji Zhao vomit.
She frowned in disgust and covered her mouth and nose.
“I’m not a maid in the residence. I’m leaving now. Can you please make way?”
“Not a maidservant?” The youth’s tone became even more arrogant. “Let’s go, serve me well. I will definitely make you feel comfortable!”
Ji Zhao sneered and then bent her knee mercilessly.
AHHHHH!
The arrogant youth suddenly let out a howl like a pig being slaughtered!
“Miss Ji.” Just as Ji Zhao was about to leave, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Young Master Qin?”
“You damned maid, how dare you lay a hand on me?” Ma Tianxiang, who had been kicked in the manhood, was furious. He covered his wound and jumped in front of Ji Zhao. “Who gave you the guts? Someone, take this thief down!”
“Young Master Ma, it’s a misunderstanding.” Qin Minghong subconsciously shielded Ji Zhao behind him and explained with a smile, “This lady is not a maid in your residence. She’s my friend. Just now, she didn’t know Young Master’s identity and actually mistook Young Master for a lecher. I’m really sorry.”
“Your friend?” Ma Tianxiang narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “Young Master Qin, is this your lover?”
“Eldest Young Master, please show mercy. This lady is my friend.” The smile on Qin Minghong’s face suddenly disappeared, and even his tone became stiff.
Although Ma Tianxiang was a profligate son, he was not stupid. He knew that his father, the county magistrate of Dingyuan County, Lord Ma, had always respected the Qin family.
In other words, he could not afford to provoke the Qin family.
Therefore, he was definitely going to suffer today.
“If Young Master Qin doesn’t want you anymore in the future, feel free to look for me!” Before Ma Tianxiang left, he did not forget to throw a pretentious wink at Ji Zhao. He thought he was very handsome, but in fact, it was very disgusting.
Ji Zhao couldn’t hold it in anymore and retched twice.
“You don’t know how to appreciate favors!” Ma Tianxiang narrowed his eyes and looked at her coldly before turning around angrily.
“Miss Ji, are you alright?” Qin Minghong immediately took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.
Ji Zhao waved her hand and refused. “I’m fine.”
“Thank you so much just now.” Ji Zhao looked at him and thanked him sincerely. “Just take it that I owe you a favor. If you need my help in the future, just let me know.”
After all, Ji Zhao knew very well that if Qin Minghong hadn’t helped her out just now, this matter wouldn’t have ended like this.
“Then can I ask Miss Ji to treat me to a meal?”
