Chapter 25: In the Chaotic Courtyard 1

  "What?! How is it you?!" The young lady exclaimed in surprise, "It's strange, I clearly saw you go in, how did you end up behind me?"

  "There's another door!" Xiao Yao replied.

  "Ah, I see! Well, you just keep doing what you're doing, don't mind me, and let me follow you instead." The young mistress said with a smile. Upon hearing her words, the nearby servants felt utterly powerless, but what happened next made them feel even more so.

  He silently walked away after a while, and actually let the young lady continue to follow him.

  These two people, one is bored with everything and the other has no standards for anything, they are absolutely a perfect match!!

  After "tracking" for a while, the big sister simply walked beside Xiao Yao, anyway, it was all the same now that they had already found out, whether in front or behind.

  Xiaoyao didn't mind this and continued walking, arriving at several places to pick up some things. Then, carrying the things, he headed towards a place of the Mo family.

  All the way, the big sister also asked Xiao Yao this and that, whether it was Xiao Yao's boss or the use of these things, she had asked.

  Xiaoyao also answered these questions one by one, however, his answers only picked the ones that could be said, some questions still couldn't get a clear explanation like before.

  "This is strange, what kind of place is this? Is it a Mo family residence? Why haven't I been here before, and why have I never heard of it?" As the young lady walked further, she found that her surroundings were changing. If the previous place was called brand new and tidy, then now it's a bit old and dilapidated.

  In the Mochizuki family headquarters, there's still a place like this, it's really strange.

  "It's not strange that you haven't been here before, but the place should have heard of it, it's just that you didn't think so." Xiangyang smiled and replied.

  "Where is it?" Little Miss asked curiously.

  "Zajiuan, a place specifically for people like me of lower social status!" Xiao Yao replied.

  "Even if it's a miscellaneous courtyard, it shouldn't be like this. When repairing the courtyards every year, isn't there also money allocated for the miscellaneous courtyard?" The young lady asked in puzzlement, she had once seen a list in the old master's study that was exactly like this one.

  "There is indeed, the repair fund provided above is also sufficient, but I don't know why, every year they can only fix the places that are really broken and cannot be used, while other places have to rely on us to do it ourselves! They should think that we are inferior servants who should do such things." Xīao Yǎo said lightly.

  “……” Although the young lady didn't fully understand what was going on, she could still grasp the gist of it. The repair funds for this place had been embezzled by quite a few people, and their attitude was that this miscellaneous courtyard was where lower-ranking servants lived, so it wasn't important to begin with. Plus, the people inside were just lowly servants who did chores, so they could just fix things themselves.

  "They didn't think that not everyone in the miscellaneous courtyard can do these tasks, and there isn't so much time either. Dragging on day by day will only make things more dilapidated. However, don't worry, I believe it won't take long for this place to start renovation."

  "Why?" The young lady asked somewhat puzzled.

  "If this continues, the extent of the damage will be noticed, and someone will investigate. By then, those people will be in trouble. One shouldn't be too greedy..." said Xiao Yao.

  "Yes, skimming the oil is fine, but don't overdo it! Wait, what are we talking about this for? I should be asking you, what brings you here?" The young lady suddenly realized that she had forgotten why she came here.

  Although Xiao Yao is a lower-ranking household servant and may live here, as the eldest young lady understands it, now is working hours, Xiao Yao wouldn't come here for no reason.

  At the same time, the things in Xiao Yao's hand should be prepared for celebration somewhere. Logically speaking, it is now the end of the year, so it must be prepared by a certain house. Even if it's not a certain house, it's still a power that can't be underestimated. Either way, they shouldn't be in this miscellaneous courtyard.

  "I'm going to prepare for celebrating the New Year with my boss." Xiang said.

  "Oh, I see! Did you forget something here or come here for... Hmm, it seems like there's something strange up ahead."

  The discord is because the person in front doesn't get along with people nearby, and can't blend in with the people and environment here at all. And this big sister has seen it before, and it was not long ago.

  "What brings you here, Mo Yu? Are you also after him?" The man looked at the young lady and Xiao Yao with a furrowed brow.

  "Yes! I also want this kid, but he's always unwilling!" The big sister patted Xiangyang's shoulder and asked curiously: "Brother, didn't you go to find his boss? How did you end up here?"

  This person is the young master who was supposed to be carefree, so the big miss wondered how he ended up here. Was he looking for Xiao Yao again? That didn't seem right either. How did he know Xiao Yao would come here anyway? Xiao Yao was a restless wanderer after all.

  "I'm just looking for his boss..." Young Master paused for a moment, perhaps realizing that he had also been influenced by Xiao Yao's casual attitude, referring to him as "boss".

  However, he paused for a moment and continued: "I don't know why, but his boss lives in one of the places here. I thought his boss was some kind of difficult person, but it turned out to be just someone abandoned by their family."

  "...". Xiao Yao fell silent, shaking his head and letting out a sigh. It was unclear what he was sighing about, and at that moment, the other two didn't notice this either.

  If they noticed it, they would be surprised and later understand that Xiao Yao was sighing for the young master, pitying him.

  Because Xiao Yao thought this young master was too careless, he didn't ask clearly about some things and came here directly.

  His boss is here for some reason, which is a big puzzle. Normally, people would investigate why, but now it seems that this young master doesn't care.

  "It can't be, no matter how abandoned it is, it shouldn't be here." The young lady was quite perceptive and immediately grasped the core of the problem. She was now increasingly curious about the boss of the carefree shop.

  "This is who knows, anyway, since we're here, don't worry about it!" Young Master said carelessly, which should be said that he has confidence or that he is careless.

  "I just found out that a piece of meat has gone bad. If we bring it over, it will definitely affect the other ingredients." Xiang said suddenly at this time.

  “？？”

  What is this kid talking about? Both of them looked at Xiao Yao with confusion.

  Suddenly, the big sister lightly exclaimed: "I understand!!"

  "Do you understand?" Young Master asked.

  "What he means is that if something isn't discovered, it might affect other things, even if the thing itself is small and has nothing to do with anything else," said the young lady, looking at Xiao Yao.

  "No, I'm just saying my own thing, I didn't mean anything else." Xiangyang shook his head directly, "Braised pork needs soy sauce, vinegar, sugar..."

  “……”

  Although what Xiao Yao said seemed like he was talking about himself, Big Sister thought that Xiao Yao was just pretending to be confused.

  "Eggplant stew is almost the same, use raw soy sauce..."

  "......, alright, don't say anymore!" The young lady didn't expect Xiao Yao to continue, so she immediately interrupted and said: "Let's go see your boss first, anyway we've already come here, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridgehead!"

  "Big sister, let me see your hand, right hand." Xiao Yao suddenly asked.

  "What's wrong?" The big sister looked puzzled, but still stretched out her hand.

  Xiaoyao didn't answer, but instead carefully examined the palm of the eldest sister's hand before responding: "Nothing, I just want to confirm some things again! Alright, you all follow me, but don't think that I'm taking you with me..."

  At this time, Xiao Yao did not forget to emphasize one thing.

  "Alright, I know, it was me who followed you!!" said the young lady.

  Following a leisurely stroll, the two of them arrived at a place where they felt that there was something different about this place compared to its surroundings. Although it still looked old, it was very tidy and didn't give off any feeling of being dilapidated.

  At the same time, it seems that there are fewer people around here. Although it is in a miscellaneous courtyard, it seems that no one lives here. This place is cleverly separated from the outside.

  Although it looks like a whole, but also makes people feel the separation between inside and outside, which is also unknown who designed, very interesting.

  The big sister is a bit interested in the design of this person, and if there is an opportunity, she will go to see who designed it here.

  In fact, this person is far away in the sky and close at hand, it's just the carefree walking in front, the big sister didn't think about it, because carefree can do anything, but she still thinks this possibility is too low.

  This is a big project, at least for one person, and if it's Xiao Yao doing it, it will definitely be one person, because someone like him won't bother others, and he also doesn't have the right to order others to help, and even if he asks for help, how many people can he ask?

  But how could she have thought that this big project would be completed so easily, and it was all done by him alone, whether it was design or construction, he did it all by himself.

  This was still a long time ago, when he was not very old, which makes it even more unbelievable.

  "Xiaoyao, have you come back?"

  The older sister heard a charming and enchanting, somewhat indescribably beautiful voice, if the owner of this voice wasn't an absolute beauty, she would definitely feel that it's a waste for this voice.
