Although she was a nanny sent by the Military Governor, she was just a servant. Moreover, the Young Marshal and Military Governor had always been at odds. Who would be so kind as to give her some food?
"Looks like I'll have to go hungry tonight," Nanny Rong thought as she stared at the fragrant omelet in Chu Yunyao's hand and swallowed her saliva.
It was all this wretched girl's fault. An ugly girl from the countryside still wanted to live a good life in the Young Marshal's Mansion. She was delusional. Let's see how she would deal with her.
Nanny Rong rushed to the kitchen and found the door locked.
When he returned to the Moon Pavilion, Chu Yunyao had already finished her scallion omelet and was burping on the recliner with her eyes half-closed. There was a cup of honey chrysanthemum tea beside her.
The sweet fragrance of tea filled the air, and the large chrysanthemums floated in the boiling water, looking extremely beautiful.
Nanny Rong walked past Chu Yunyao and stopped. She stared at the cup of tea for a while. Seeing that Chu Yunyao was breathing evenly and seemed to have fallen asleep, she tiptoed to pick up the cup of tea and entered the side hall.
Chu Yunyao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes. She stared in the direction of the side hall and curled her lips. She propped herself up with her arms and left the bedroom.
At night, the stars were like broken diamonds embedded in the sky. The manor fell silent.
Chu Yunyao avoided the guards on duty and circled the winding stone road. She climbed onto the flower wall with both hands and leaped into the wall like a butterfly.
The natural hot spring water gurgled out of the cave, and the steam was dense.
A reservoir was built with white tiles beside the cave, and pebbles of the same size and color were laid on the ground.
Chu Yunyao had not had a good hot bath for a few days. She quickly took off her flared-sleeve top and ankle-length dress. She was only wearing a tube top and underpants as she walked into the hot spring barefooted.
The courtyard was small and hidden. There were trees and flowers planted beside the rocks. Guards guarded the arched door of the courtyard. The wooden door was locked, so she climbed over the wall to enter.
Today, she heard from the servant that the locust flowers by the hot spring pool had bloomed. She would pick some tomorrow to make locust flower cakes.
Chu Yunyao was careful. When she returned to the Moon Pavilion, she specially strolled around the backyard of the Young Marshal's Mansion and found this precious piece of land.
She wanted to go in and look, but she was stopped by someone who said that it was a private forbidden area of the Young Marshal and that no one was allowed to enter without permission.
Chu Yunyao was soaking in the hot spring pool with the locust flowers. She felt the tube top and underwear were too tight, so she took them off and hung them on a tree branch beside her, waiting for the wind to dry them.
She lay by the pool and looked up at the moon in the sky, lost in thought.
She wondered how her father and brother were doing. She missed them so much. She missed the era she used to live in. The hacking skills she was most proud of were useless in this world.
Not to mention the fully intelligent network and robots, even the phone was the oldest manual model.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunyao was about to cry.
The warm water made her drowsy. With a splash, Chu Yunyao stood up from the pool in shock. She slipped and lost her balance, falling forward.
As usual, Mo Lingyuan, who had just removed his clothes and jumped into the water, was caught off guard. A thin figure jumped out of the water and pounced on him in the pitch-blackness of the trees' shade.
Her warm and soft body was like an octopus. Her hands and feet were tightly wrapped around him, pushing Mo Lingyuan into the water.
Chu Yunyao's sleepiness was instantly gone. She focused and saw that she was sitting on the man's tight abdomen in an extremely awkward and intimate position.
