Chapter 8: The Master's Mind

What does the palace want?

Mei Qianfeng's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became somewhat strange.

However, as someone who had been in the officialdom for a long time, he quickly composed himself and smiled at the eunuch, saying, "I was really confused. Thank you for the reminder, Sun Gonggong."

"Ah, General, don't say that. You're flattering me too much," Sun Gonggong said as he walked out. Before leaving, he gave Mei Kaishao a meaningful look.

He thought to himself, this second miss is nothing special, why...

Ah! The thoughts of the masters are becoming more and more unpredictable!

Especially that master...

After seeing off the people from the palace, Mei Qianfeng entered the backyard again, this time with a maid following him. The maid was young, probably only thirteen or fourteen years old. She respectfully knelt down when she saw Mei Kaishao and said, "Second Miss."

Mei Kaishao didn't speak, she just half-sat on the ancient wooden chair, with her long and slender legs propped up on the table in front of her in a carefree manner.

Her clear and deep eyes looked at Mei Qianfeng absentmindedly.

She wanted to see what her "father" was up to.

Mei Qianfeng frowned. In his impression, this daughter had always been timid and never dared to speak loudly. Now she dared to look at him like this, it was simply outrageous!

But thinking of Sun Gonggong's words, he suppressed the anger in his throat, and looked at Mei Kaishao with a cold gaze, saying indifferently, "From today on, this girl is your servant. You can order her to do anything."

"Oh?" Mei Kaishao's eyes shifted slightly, and her icy gaze swept over the young girl, "What's her name?"

The maid with double buns answered sweetly, "I'm called Chuxiang."

Chuxiang's posture was very respectful, showing no flaws.

But Mei Kaishao was no ordinary person.

She didn't miss the moment when the little girl lowered her head, a hint of cunning and excitement flashed in her eyes, rather than the nervousness of meeting a new master.

Mei Qianfeng's gaze also lingered on Chuxiang, his eyes deepening.

No wonder her father suddenly sent a servant to watch over her. The old fox sent her to monitor her.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Mei Kaishao's lips, and she put her feet down, walking up to Chuxiang. Then, she suddenly bent down, reaching out to pinch the little maid's chin.

Chuxiang trembled in fear, almost dropping the warm pot in her hand, "Miss..."

"Not bad looking," Mei Kaishao smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She turned to look at Mei Qianfeng, "Thank you, Father, for this."

Mei Qianfeng was also startled by her sudden movement, and seeing her foolish appearance at this moment, his hanging heart sank again. He steadied his breath and said, "Hmm," then left the backyard.

He believed that no matter how this girl changed, she was just a lowly daughter who brought shame to the Mei family.

Even if she was specifically requested by the palace, it wouldn't last long.

He sent this daughter just to assist his carefully cultivated Taiyan.

Who wouldn't covet that position?

He didn't need to tell her about entering the palace at the beginning. She didn't need to be too prepared, just obediently play her role as "Green Plum"!
