Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 358 Butler Yunming

Yunyi had a strange feeling about Yunming. He was clearly tall and elegant with an excellent temperament. No matter from the back or the side, she felt that he should be a handsome and elegant young man.

However, this person just happened to have a very ordinary face.

It felt like... a beggar wearing a dragon robe, a very disjointed sight.

She initially thought the other person was wearing a mask, but after checking, she found that they weren't. So there were only two possibilities: either the other person had taken a disguise pill, which would make them indistinguishable, or the other person really did look like that.

However, she still preferred the Disguise Elixir.

However, this person has been here for a month now, and despite having people secretly monitoring him, nothing unusual has been found.

Moreover, this person is quite capable; he managed to reorganize the entire Yun family estate in just one month, making it much better than when He Wei was in charge.

Moreover, the other party had signed a contract of servitude, so now she can hardly have any doubts.

"Miss has arrived." Yun Ming greeted Yun Yi as soon as she reached the door.

Yunyi glanced at him: "How did you know I would come?"

"My subordinates will send people to guard the city gate every day. As soon as they see Miss enter the city, they will immediately send a message back." Yunming smiled, beckoned the servant behind him to come and take the horse. When his gaze fell on Xiao Jinxiu's face behind him, he wavered slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

Yunyi nodded and went straight through the gate.

Yunyi lived in the main courtyard of the mansion, which was very large and had many rooms. She kept telling Xiao Jinxiu and Yunhong to find their own courtyards to live in, but they were all unwilling and went to the main courtyard instead.

“Anyway, you have plenty of rooms here, and you can’t possibly live in them all by yourself.” Xiao Jinxiu shook her head like a rattle drum. “I won’t be staying here long either, so I’ll just share a courtyard with you. I’ll live in the west wing.”

Yunyi had no choice but to glance at Yunhong and say, "Go to the east wing."

“Young Miss, when have you ever seen a personal maid living alone? I have to keep watch for you at night, I have to…”

"Stop it." Yunyi hurriedly waved her hand. "Your personal maid has her own place. Go quickly. I don't need her here."

Yun Hong chuckled. She knew that Yun Yi didn't like others watching over her at night, and that she was just joking. However, she didn't go back to her room. Instead, she summoned someone to send hot water and food over.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Yunming arrived with his men.

"This is for the young lady. I wonder what the other one should be called? And what should we prepare?" Yunming glanced at Yunhong.

“I am the young lady’s apprentice.” Xiao Jinxiu stepped forward. “My name is Xiao Jinxiu. I need hot water.”

"Yes, Miss Jinxiu." Yunming glanced at Xiao Jinxiu and then led his men down to make preparations.

Yun Hong stroked her chin, looked at Yun Ming's back, then at Xiao Jinxiu, before turning and entering the main house: "Miss, I've discovered a problem."

"What's the problem?" Yunyi was packing her medical kit, which contained things she could use tomorrow at Yiqinglou.

"I noticed that the butler's gaze towards Miss Xiao was not innocent."

"Huh?" Yun Yi frowned and looked up at Yun Hong. "How did you figure that out?"

"It's that intuition you mentioned."

Yunyi chuckled: "Although Xiao Jinxiu is a bit older, she's beautiful, well-educated, gentle, and elegant. Isn't it normal for men to like her? But, does Jinxiu think he's innocent?"

"I haven't figured it out yet."

"Then take a good look." Yunyi waved her hand. "Alright, you can go now. I'm going to take a bath." With that, she closed her medical kit and turned to go into the bathroom.

Yun Hong pursed her lips and didn't go out. Instead, she went to the door of the washroom to stand guard. Whether the young lady used it or not was her business, but whether or not to stand guard was the duty of the head maid.

Yunyi quickly finished bathing, changed her clothes, and then Yunhong pulled her outside.

"What are you doing?"

"Gossiping, huh?" Yun Hong's eyes gleamed. "I heard that Butler Yun personally went to the kitchen to make some pastries and then sent them to the west wing, but didn't even send any to you, the master."

Yunyi was also taken aback: "Are you really not innocent?"

"We'll only know if we go and see for ourselves." Yun Hong suddenly made a shushing gesture, then pulled Yun Yi to hide outside the window.

Yunming led his men to deliver hot water to the side room and personally carried in a food box.

"Thank you, Butler Yun." Xiao Jinxiu had just finished packing her belongings and casually thanked him.

“Miss Jinxiu, you’re too kind.” Yunming hesitated for a moment. “There’s also a serving of fermented rice cake here; you can try it.”

Xiao Jinxiu was taken aback for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Fermented rice cake?"

"Yes." Yunming clenched his fist, appearing somewhat nervous.

Xiao Jinxiu hurriedly walked to the table, glanced at the four fermented rice cakes on the plate, picked one up and took a bite. The sweet taste instantly filled her mouth: "They even put magnolia petals in it?"

"Hmm." Yunming nodded. "What does Miss Jinxiu think?"

"It's delicious, I haven't had this in a long time." Xiao Jinxiu sighed, her eyes slightly red, but she quickly composed herself. "Thank you, Butler Yun."

Yunming smiled and nodded, then left.

Xiao Jinxiu took another bite of the fermented rice cake and frowned slightly. This pastry is one of the specialties of Suzhou, but most pastries put rose petals in them. Only she likes to put magnolia petals in them. But how did Butler Yun know that?

No, she had to go and ask, so she left the room and hurriedly chased after him.

Yun Ming didn't leave quickly, so he was caught up with by Xiao Jinxiu not long after leaving the main courtyard: "Steward Yun."

"Jinxiu, my lady."

How did you know I like fermented rice cakes with magnolia petals?

Yunming glanced at Xiao Jinxiu, then lowered his head: "It's because I like magnolia petals."

Xiao Jinxiu frowned.

"No dessert is set in stone. You can add whatever ingredients you like, right?"

Xiao Jinxiu's eyes flickered for a moment: "You..." She swallowed hard, "You... are really called Yunming."

"Your servant is Yunming." Yunming nodded slightly.

"Hehe, that's true." Xiao Jinxiu suddenly sighed, "The entire Yu family... how could you possibly be him?" After saying that, she turned around and walked back. She had been overthinking things.

Yunming watched Xiao Jinxiu's retreating figure, his fists clenched tightly, but he quickly regained his composure and turned to leave, but Yunyi walked over.

"Young Miss." Yunming hurriedly bowed.

"Butler Yun," Yun Yi looked the other person up and down, "this isn't your real face, is it?"
