Take out the barely warm food from the food box and put the bowls and chopsticks in place.
"Fifth Young Master, lunch has been set!"
Taoye lowered his head and stood behind Rongjiu, speaking softly.
The person sitting on the round stool did not move, as if he had not heard her voice at all. He lowered his gaze, and Taoye could not sense the emotions in the eyes covered with crow feathers.
Rong Jiu didn't move, and Tao Ye didn't dare to move either.
Although the food was cold, the cooks in the academy were really good, and the aroma of the dishes was extremely tempting to Tao Ye, who was already hungry.
"Sit down and eat!"
After an unknown amount of time, Rong Jiu finally spoke.
Taoye had dined with her master more than once, and since she was really hungry, she thanked her politely and sat down.
When he was eating by himself, he didn't forget to give Rong Jiu some food.
But the fifth young master really seems to have no appetite today.
"No need to wait, just eat it yourself!"
Taoye was stopped after just two chopsticks.
This meal was spent in great silence.
Rong Jiu just took a few bites of rice and put down the bowl and chopsticks.
The master put down his chopsticks, and Taoye reluctantly put down the bowl and chopsticks.
She really didn't have enough to eat.
But the fifth young master seemed to be in a very bad mood today, and she didn't want to jump around in front of the tiger, so she stood up and put the dishes and chopsticks back into the food box.
He took the food box outside and handed it to Gui Yun. There was no one in the front hall.
Thinking of being treated so roughly just now, Taoye hesitated outside for a moment, then carefully thought about what to say before walking into the house.
Inside, Rong Jiu was already reading a book, leaning on the yellow pear tree beside the bamboo couch.
At this time, the fifth young master should not be going to the front school, but he looks like he wants to stay in the room.
"Did you bring incense?"
Rong Jiu didn't notice it in her anger just now, but now she felt that there was a fragrance filling the room.
"No, it was the princess who took the ladies to appreciate the incense today. Maybe the slave has been around for a long time and has been contaminated by it!"
"If the young master doesn't like it, I'll go down and freshen up right now!"
Taoye didn't want to stay in this room at the moment.
"Princess asked you to go there for something?"
Rong Jiu knew that Mingyue was arrogant and indulgent.
But there were really no scars on the little maid's body, so she probably wasn't embarrassed.
"The princess was worried that the slave would be bored alone in the courtyard, so she thought of letting the slave go over and have fun with the maids and have a lot of fun!"
There were waves of dull pain all over her body, but there appeared to be no scars on the surface of her body. As there was no evidence of the Fifth Young Master's care and love for the princess, she could only keep silent.
An insignificant first-in-law and a princess cousin whom she has loved since childhood, Taoye will not take the risk to block the so-called trust.
"Later Miss Chen came, and the princess seemed a little angry. The ladies in the pavilion had some arguments. Miss Chen's bun was accidentally broken up by Miss Lu, and the princess also left angrily!"
"When the slave was about to leave, Miss Xie San asked the slave to care for a few words, but Miss Chen's hair was messed up and she didn't bring the maid. Seeing that the slave was still there, she asked the slave to follow!"
But she is not a submissive person. If the princess makes her angry today, there is no guarantee that she will not be interested in her again in the future.
After all, the princess likes the fifth young master. As long as she is around the fifth young master, she will become an eyesore from time to time.
And the only person who can protect him is the person in front of him, no matter what the reason is.
What she can do is to make the fifth young master feel dissatisfied with the princess's excessive arrogance, so that he can protect her a little when she is in trouble again in the future.
"Don't just follow others around in the future, just this time!"
Not only had he heard of Chen Yushi's name, Rong Jiu, but he also deeply respected him as a person. He had also heard of his only daughter. Although Shouyang Academy had a women's school, most of the noble ladies who came here regarded it as a place to make connections. In this place, studying is just a reason.
But this Chen Shujun was praised many times by Mr. Kong.
If it weren't for a female prostitute, he might have had a classmate by now.
With Chen Yushi's tutoring, Chen Shujun would not be used against him.
"This slave knows!"
Taoye saw that the fifth young master was not disgusted with Miss Chen, and felt a faint joy in her heart.
Miss Chen is the first master who does not treat her as a lowly servant. She hopes that the two of them will cross paths in the future.
"Master, Miss Xie San's maid wants to see you!"
Just as Tao Ye agreed to Rong Jiu's words, Xing Yun's announcement sounded outside.
Hearing the arrival, Taoye was keenly aware that the Fifth Young Master frowned before he stood up and walked out.
Tao Ye hurriedly followed behind.
The feeling that Miss Xie San gave Taoye made her very uncomfortable.
It was also the first time they met, and both of them were gentle to her, but Miss Chen and Miss Xie San gave her completely different feelings.
"This slave has met Young Master Rong Wu!"
It turned out to be the maid who came to call Tao Ye yesterday.
"What's the matter with your lady?"
Rong Jiu sat down at the top and asked lightly.
"Fifth Young Master, my lady specially asked my slave to deliver this!"
The maid said as she passed the thing she was holding up.
At a glance, Taoye saw that there was a precious-looking rosewood box on the top, and a piece of peach-red satin on the bottom.
"Thank you for your young lady's kindness on my behalf. You don't need these things!"
Rong Jiu refused without even looking at it.
"Master Rong Wu may have misunderstood. These things were given to Miss Taoye by the young lady!"
When facing Rong Jiu, the maid was not at all as arrogant as she was when facing Tao Ye the day before, and she kept smiling on her face.
"To my maid?"
Rong Jiu glanced at Tao Ye next to him playfully.
Taoye looked back with confusion, and even looked a little dazed.
"Yes, today my young lady saw that Miss Taoye seemed to have been injured by the fragrant arrows of those ladies. Her clothes and skirts were covered with fragrant powder. She wanted to take Miss Taoye back to change into slave clothes, but Miss Chen on the side thought If you ask Miss Taoye to help comb your hair, it won’t work!”
"The young lady was so happy when she saw the girl that she asked her servant to bring a piece of bright satin to make clothes with the girl. The things in this box are also for the girl!"
The maid spoke very smartly and said everything that needed to be said.
As he spoke, he opened the rosewood box on top.
Inside is a book that looks quaint.
Rong Jiu glanced at the contents of the box, but her eyes turned cold.
"My maid will not be rewarded for her merits. Please tell your lady that the Duke's mansion still has the fabric to make a dress for the maid. Thank you, Miss Third, for taking the trouble!"
Rong Jiu's tone was the usual one of laziness towards others.
But the meaning of rejection in the words is very clear.
The smile on the face of the maid standing below was a little stiff.
"Master Rong Wu, please be considerate of the young lady's feelings. Moreover, if I just take it back like this, I won't be able to explain it to our young lady!"
