Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Not long after, they saw a middle-aged man and a young man pushing a cart of vegetables over.
Gu Yundong hurriedly went forward. After she introduced herself, the middle-aged man silently led her forward.
However, he kept a sullen expression and did not look too happy.
This did not matter. Gu Yundong just had to go in and take a look.
Tong Shuitao waited in the alley beside them. She was worried. Even though Gu Yundong asked her to wait for Gu Dajiang at the Yu residence, she refused.
The middle-aged man pushed the vegetables into the back door of the Xin residence. When he saw the butler, he immediately put on a smile and praised him.
Gu Yundong did not comment on this. It was just for the sake of living.
There was still a distance from the backyard to the kitchen. Although Gu Yundong’s head was lowered, the corners of his eyes kept drifting around.
The Xin Manor was indeed as rich and powerful as the rumors said. Not to mention the maids and servants who came and went, even the corridor they saw along the way, be it the workmanship or the carving, was very exquisite.
Coupled with the trays held by the maidservant who walked past her, there were either jade bowls or jade plates on them. It was simply extravagant.
Compared to them, she was simply worlds apart. She was not even qualified to be looked at.
Gu Yundong’s heart ached.
Suddenly, Gu Yundong’s ears pricked up when he heard the low voices of two maids.
“That person is really pitiful. He was tortured by Second Young Madam and beaten up by Second Young Master.”
“Who asked him to recognize the wrong person?”
“Cough, cough.” The butler who was leading the way suddenly coughed heavily. The two maids were shocked and immediately shut their mouths. They lowered their heads and quickly walked away.
Gu Yundong lowered her head and pretended not to hear her.
Not long after, the few of them walked into the kitchen.
The butler was very arrogant. He ordered Gu Yundong to move baskets of vegetables down.
“Put it here. Hey, be gentle. You’re so clumsy. You can’t even do a good job.”
“Why are these vegetables so disheveled? They’re all over the place. The chef will nag again later. Place these vegetables in order.”
“Why are you casually placing this basket here? There are people coming and going. What if they trip? If they’re holding something Master wants in their hands and trip themselves over, you won’t be able to compensate.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. She endured it.
However, no matter how much she wanted to endure it, she did not even have the chance to leave the kitchen. It was really annoying.
However, the worker who came with the middle-aged man thought that she was here to snatch work from him. He had disliked her since they first met and now, he was even going against her.
Gu Yundong felt that it was a mistake to follow the delivery man. After unloading the last basket of vegetables, she asked the butler where the toilet was.
Unexpectedly, the butler glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. “What toilet? You want to use the toilet in the Xin residence? Aren’t you done with your work? Bear with it until you get back.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. She almost wanted to curse aloud.
Just as she was wondering if she should find another excuse, she suddenly saw a middle-aged woman walk in valiantly.
Gu Yundong took a glance and saw that although this woman was very imposing, the clothes she was wearing did not match her at all. It was as if… a country woman was wearing the clothes of a noblewoman.
The woman glanced around the kitchen and said, “Where’s our Yundong’s bird’s nest? Is it ready?”
