Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 395 - 378

Xiao Yun didn’t react immediately. It wasn’t until she was pushed in front of Mu Yunchu that she realized she had been volunteered by these people.

But she glanced at Mu Yunchu and didn’t refuse like the others.

"I can do it, Miss Mu."

She preferred staying with Mu Yunchu, even if it meant doing very tiring work, rather than doing easier tasks with the others.

So even knowing they were setting her up, Xiao Yun didn’t say anything.

"I just need to finish up what I’m working on first; it’ll take about half an hour, is that okay?" Xiao Yun looked cautiously at Mu Yunchu, afraid she wouldn’t wait and would choose someone else.

But she really couldn’t push off her current work.

She stared at Mu Yunchu for a while but didn’t get the answer she wanted.

She couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

Because anyone could see from Mu Yunchu’s expression that she didn’t want to wait.

The next second, what she said indeed left Xiao Yun feeling a bit deflated.

"It’s better to start now."

"Today’s tasks are still heavy. Unlike yesterday, there should be no less, probably more."

While saying this, Mu Yunchu deliberately glanced several times at the person who had refused her earlier. "How about... I go talk to the butler..."

Before she finished her sentence, the servants in the front quickly said, "No need, no need, it’s not a big deal."

Then they pushed Xiao Yun, "No worries, Xiao Yun, I know what you have to do today. You go ahead, we’ll cover for you."

Xiao Yun was even more surprised this time.

She didn’t expect these people to be so unwilling to work for Mu Yunchu.

To know that in the year since she came to the Pei Family, they hadn’t even passed her a cloth when she climbed the glass.

Now they were even willing to help her go shopping for offerings under the sun for the Second Madame.

But this was good.

This way, she could follow Mu Yunchu.

Thinking of this, she nervously looked at Mu Yunchu. Only when she didn’t see any dissatisfaction or disdain in her eyes did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let’s do it that way."

Mu Yunchu turned and left.

Xiao Yun first glanced back at the others, who were waving her away like she was trouble, fearing Mu Yunchu might change her mind, and the task would fall on them.

Following Mu Yunchu from about half a meter behind at an angle, Xiao Yun kept secretly observing her expression.

They hadn’t walked more than ten meters before she had looked at Mu Yunchu over a dozen times.

She almost tripped on the threshold because she wasn’t watching her step.

Mu Yunchu: "..."

"Sorry, sorry." Xiao Yun feared the other might dislike her because of this.

Even though she was the one who almost fell, she kept apologizing to Mu Yunchu.

Mu Yunchu finally stopped and let out an almost inaudible sigh.

Unbeknownst to her, the sigh made Xiao Yun’s heart jump into her throat.

"You don’t have to be so nervous."

But soon, Mu Yunchu’s gentle voice flowed over like a spring breeze.

"Hmm?"

"There won’t be much work today, even if it’s just you, it won’t be tiring."

For a moment, Xiao Yun didn’t understand. "But you just now..."

Before she finished her sentence, seeing Mu Yunchu wink at her, she instantly understood.

"You said that on purpose?"

Mu Yunchu smiled but didn’t give her a definitive answer. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But Xiao Yun understood.

So, this means...

Xiao Yun looked up at Mu Yunchu in disbelief, only to see her profile.

This means she deliberately said she couldn’t wait so they’d offer to help her with her work.

Xiao Yun didn’t know what to say anymore.

Taking a deep breath, she quickly adjusted her mood and resolved in her heart to help Mu Yunchu complete the tasks, no matter what.

Unexpectedly, just as she said, there really wasn’t much work today.

Most of the time was spent following behind Mu Yunchu.

Even if she stopped somewhere for a while, thinking they needed to move something, she’d quickly move on.

After walking through most of the Pei Family estate, Xiao Yun only moved a small vase on the windowsill to change the flowers, and that was it.

Although she didn’t understand metaphysics, or feng shui, or fortune-telling, the difference from yesterday was too stark.

At this point, it seemed Mu Yunchu noticed her thoughts.

She spoke up, "Do you feel there’s too little work today? Do you think I might have deliberately picked a bunch of faults for others to see yesterday?"

If someone else were behind her now, they would probably think so. They would think Mu Yunchu just wanted to show off to the old butler by deliberately picking faults yesterday.

But whether there really was a feng shui problem, no one knew.

But Xiao Yun quickly shook her head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, Miss Mu, I wouldn’t think that."

Mu Yunchu glanced back and found her clear eyes full of sincerity.

She wasn’t lying.

"I just think maybe we’re lucky today."

Though she wasn’t afraid of doing a lot of work, not doing anything and strolling around the estate was also nice.

Mu Yunchu gave a meaningful smile and said no more.

"I’ve finished looking around the house, let’s head to the garden."

Xiao Yun quickly nodded, "Okay."

...

Meanwhile, the old butler received a message from Mu Yunchu.

Seeing her name appear on the screen, his eyelid twitched involuntarily.

Opening it, it indeed wasn’t good news.

The message roughly stated that while taking Xiao Yun around, they had completed tasks that required less work, but the rest might need more manpower.

She described each place very clearly, such as the stairway on which floor, the ornaments in the northeast corner, etc. The old butler just needed to follow her instructions and lead the work.

The old butler: "..."

He scanned the message. Having worked at the Pei Family for so many years, as soon as Mu Yunchu mentioned those places, the scenes appeared in his mind.

This was practically half of the Pei Family estate!

What difference was there compared to yesterday when he followed along to work?

And yet, he couldn’t find fault with Mu Yunchu, because many of the tasks really couldn’t be done by a single servant.

He couldn’t ask Mu Yunchu to do it herself.

So he had no choice but to head to the servants’ rest room.

The door had a tiny gap, allowing voices inside to be heard clearly from outside.

Nobody normally came here, so they didn’t expect the old butler to be standing at the door.

"Oh, I was lucky with my quick reflexes this morning. If I had to work another day like that, all my bones would be shattered."

"Isn’t that the truth? Let Xiao Yun handle this kind of thing, she usually works a lot anyway, and she’s in good shape."
