Chapter 8 - Naughty child

LiYing and KangZheng arrived at the Zhao mansion. They went in and she saw people eating at the dining table.

LiYing walked past them to walk to her room. "Ahh! There's a thief! Catch him!" yelled a girl. LiYing stopped walking and saw people running towards her.

KangZheng pulled LiYing's sleeve and he got out his slingshot. He shot some rocks at the guards and the guards fell on the floor.

"Runaway! This thief has a weapon!" yelled the girl. "Let me capture him!" yelled a boy. The boy got a sword from a guard and tried to attack LiYing. But KangZheng shot a rock at the boy's face. KangZheng kept on shooting the rocks at random people.

{...What an amusing scene. He got hit in the face! Hahaha!...}

"What's with all the noise?" Uncle Zhao came out and saw the mess. "Oh god! Guys, Stop!" said Uncle Zhao. Everybody stopped what they were doing other than KangZheng. He shot a rock at Uncle Zhao.

{...Oh no...}

LiYing quickly stopped KangZheng from shorting another rock at the people. She ran to Uncle Zhao and started apologizing.

"I'm so sorry. It was an accident. He didn't mean to hurt you. He is just a little kid so he doesn't know how to respect elders. I'm so sorry. Are you ok?" asked LiYing. Uncle Zhao nodded but he looked very dizzy.

LiYing used her arm to support Uncle Zhao's balance and slowly made him sit down.

"You know her?" asked a woman. "I told you guys. She is my assistant, " said Uncle Zhao. "Oh. I thought she was a thief, " said the girl. "Why does she wear that veil?" asked a boy. "Because I don't want people to know what I look like, " said LiYing.

"My name is LingHui, " said the boy. "My name is LanHua, " said the girl. "You can call me Aunt Zhao, " said the woman.

"Since I am an assistant do I need to call you some specific name?, " asked LiYing. "You can just call me brother Ling, " said LingHui. "You can just call me sister LanHua."

"Who's he?" asked Aunt Zhao. "He's one of my friend's son. I have two jobs. I am an assistant and a babysitter, " said LiYing. "That makes more sense, " said Aunt Zhao.

"My friend might come here to pick up him so please notify me if she comes, " said LiYing. "Alright. You can now go back to finish eating or go back to your room, " said Uncle Zhao.

LiYing walked away with KangZheng to her room. KangZheng looked annoyed.

"What's wrong?" asked LiYing. KangZheng pointed at his slingshot. LiYing sighed.

"Do you want to have your own room?" asked LiYing. KangZheng nodded. "Don't cause trouble, " said LiYing. KangZheng nodded.

LiYing went out to find Uncle Zhao. She found him in his study room.

"Uncle Zhao, " said LiYing. "What?" asked Uncle Zhao. "Can I get another room?" asked LiYing. "For that kid?" asked Uncle Zhao. "Yeah, " said LiYing. "You can get the room right next to yours, " said Uncle Zhao. "Ok."

LiYing went back and put KangZheng in the other room. LiYing took out all the vases from his room.

{...I better take these vases out of the room or he probably would break them...}

LiYing brought the vases in her room and put them in a cabinet.

{...I can use some vases to store the powders of the herbs...}

LiYing took a bath and put some cream on her face.

She started reading a medicine book she got from Uncle Zhao's study room.

"Apprentice LiYing!" yelled a maid. "Yes?" asked LiYing. "A woman came here and is asking for you, " replied the maid. "Ok."

LiYing wore her veil and went out. She followed the maid to the front door.

LiYing waved at the maid and the maid left.

"Where is he?" asked RuiQin. "Over there, " said LiYing, pointing at the room next to hers. "Is he alright? Did he get hurt?" asked RuiQin. "He's fine, " said LiYing.

{...He didn't get hurt but he did make other people get hurt...}

Both of them went to KangZheng's room. LiYing opened the door and saw KangZheng jumping on the bed. He saw them and he quickly sat down and pretended he was innocent.

RuiQin got very mad. "Master! What if you got hurt? You shouldn't jump on the bed, " yelled RuiQin. KangZheng nodded but when RuiQin wasn't looking he rolled his eyes.

{...What a kid. He acts like he is very innocent but he actually is very rude but a smart kid...}

KangZheng's belly growled. "I'm going to get some food for you, " said RuiQin. She went out to get some food.

"Do you like RuiQin as a maid?" asked LiYing. KangZheng shook his head and then he nodded. He then shrugged his shoulders.

{...Uh. He doesn't even know if he likes RuiQin as a maid or not. Forget it...}

RuiQin came back and gave KangZheng the food. KangZheng ate some food and he gave the rest to RuiQin.

"I don't need to eat it. You can finish it, " said RuiQin. KangZheng shook his head. He patted his belly and gave the rice to RuiQin. RuiQin saw that he was full so she began to eat.

{...I want to sleep now. Why was I staying here anyway?...}

"You can sleep here. I am gonna go now, " said LiYing. LiYing left and went back to her room.

{...After today, life would be more tiring and more interesting. I must act my best...}
