Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 396 - 379: The Third Master’s Wife of the Pei Family

Chapter 396: Chapter 379: The Third Master’s Wife of the Pei Family

The old butler’s face darkened.

From what they said, it wasn’t hard to guess what the scene was like when Mu Yunchu came here looking for help this morning.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of grievance.

If it weren’t for their laziness, perhaps he wouldn’t have to trouble himself this time.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but place all this matter on these few people.

"It’s one thing for you to slack off daily, but for such an important matter that Mr. Pei values, you still play these petty tricks?"

Suddenly speaking out, he almost scared those people off their chairs.

"Butler, butler."

The group of people looked at each other, their faces pale. They all began to recall whether they had said anything inappropriate just now.

They have always been clear about the relationship between the butler and the Pei Family, so they dared not say anything in rebuttal.

They could only admit their mistakes first.

"Butler, we were wrong."

"Yes, yes, we promise not to do it again next time."

"Please don’t tell Second Young Master Pei!"

...

The butler said one thing that was certainly true: Pei Jun truly valued this matter greatly, and they didn’t dare to think too deeply about it, now only hoping it wouldn’t escalate.

Otherwise, such a good job might be lost.

The old butler naturally understood their nature, and since he couldn’t really penalize them, he could only say, "Alright, since you all know how important this matter is, put down what you’re doing and come work with me."

They didn’t expect that even in such circumstances, they couldn’t avoid it.

They could only resign themselves to the work.

Nobody dared to utter a word of complaint.

The old butler was relatively satisfied with their speed; as long as their speed increased, he would have to stand for less time than yesterday.

So, later on, he gradually calmed down.

But after everything ended, he reminded them again: "Next time, don’t let me find out about similar situations."

He pondered, "Miss Mu is the esteemed guest of Mr. Pei. Next time she needs anything done, you should take the initiative."

With a stern face for half a day, the old butler was well aware of the meaning of balancing grace with authority.

Thus, before leaving, he added, "However, you’ve worked hard today. If there’s nothing urgent, rest more; if anything arises here, I’ll cover for you."

He did indeed see a group of people smiling, looking at him gratefully.

...

Under Xiao Yun’s guidance, Mu Yunchu arrived at the back garden.

This Pei Family, they almost built their home like an ancient mansion. It was more than just luxurious.

Perhaps sensing Mu Yunchu’s puzzlement, Xiao Yun proactively began introducing some details about the Pei Family’s construction of this ’mansion.’

"When I came, the place was already built like this, but I’ve heard it was advised by a Feng Shui Master."

Mu Yunchu showed no opinion.

No wonder that upon arriving at the backyard, she distinctly felt an atmosphere different from inside the villa.

Although over time, some of the natural Feng Shui isn’t as it was just when built, causing some impact, she can still sense the overpowering force.

One could say this person’s ability is formidable.

The Pei Family has thrived in the business world for years, definitely connected to many Feng Shui formations within this courtyard.

Xiao Yun saw Mu Yunchu remaining silent after hearing her talk awhile and couldn’t help but wonder if she had upset her.

After all, as fellow Feng Shui Masters working for the same employer, without any thoughts at all, that’s impossible.

Not wanting to see Mu Yunchu like this, she blurted out words of comfort.

"Miss Mu, but according to the old folks working here, that person hasn’t come for a long time, possibly long without cooperation."

What she wanted to convey was that Mu Yunchu is now Pei Family’s honored guest. That person is history.

Understanding the implied meaning in Xiao Yun’s words, Mu Yunchu found it amusing but did not argue.

Anyway, these matters didn’t need explanation, let others think as they will.

After walking around, there weren’t any major issues found, but she marked a few sites with exceedingly strong energy.

These locations are very likely hiding what King Yan desires.

But with people around now, it’s hard to examine more closely.

As she intended to leave, disputing voices of two people afar caught Mu Yunchu’s attention.

Changing course, she headed in that direction.

"You failed to even handle the single task of buying flowers? Don’t you know if today’s offerings aren’t ready, the Third Lady is surely going to be furious!"

Facing this accusation, the other person was completely unyielding, "What’s there to worry about? Anyway, the Third Lady has such a good temper, she definitely won’t make a fuss over something so small."

"Moreover, it’s not that I didn’t want to buy them; does this have anything to do with competence? You wouldn’t have been able to buy them either."

Just had plain bad luck, the flower shop specified by the Third Lady happened to be closed today.

Before leaving, others advised her. Flowers from other shops wouldn’t be accepted by the Third Lady either.

So she thought why waste effort and came back directly.

Unexpectedly, before even going up the stairs, her colleague blocked her in the courtyard, giving her a good talking-to.

Of course, she wouldn’t concede lightly. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Didn’t I tell you about it yesterday, asking you to call and confirm with the shop?" The person opposite was already grim-faced.

"Did you slack off, and not listen?"

Upon hearing this, she blinked guiltily.

"Well, I didn’t expect it would close today."

Though her voice grew noticeably smaller, she didn’t feel this would result in any major consequence.

If Mu Yunchu hadn’t walked over, she certainly would’ve continued arguing.

"You seem to be encountering some trouble?" Mu Yunchu’s gaze landed on the items placed on the stone table and chairs.

Clearly, they were offerings meant for the deity.

She’d heard not just once that Third Master Pei’s wife was devoted to Buddhism and a vegetarian for many years.

Now seeing it with her own eyes, Mu Yunchu wasn’t particularly surprised.

They recognized Mu Yunchu and, perhaps due to the matter weighing on their minds, spoke out seeking help.

"It’s nothing; just the Third Master’s wife wanted flowers, but we failed to buy them."

Mu Yunchu looked at the other person; her expression clearly wasn’t in line with ’it’s nothing.’

After the person left, Mu Yunchu couldn’t help but ask Xiao Yun about the ’Third Master’s wife.’

She recalled for a moment, "I haven’t had much interaction with her but worked on a few tasks for her; she’s a very gentle person."

"Though... I’ve heard she seems somewhat ’obsessed,’ letting most things slide, yet extremely particular about worshipping, not tolerating any mistakes."
