Chapter 128

The young man’s forehead was bruised black and blue. “Before we came, Miss Mu had sent word that if we couldn’t stay by your side, we would be sold to a brothel.”

Before Yan Jin could figure out what was going on, another young man in green ran over and also kowtowed to her with three loud thumps.

“Master, you look like a kind-hearted and compassionate person. Please, have pity on us.” The green-clad youth sobbed uncontrollably. “Miss Mu sent us here to warm your bed, not to do menial work.”

Having said that, the green-clad youth looked up at Yan Jin with pitiful eyes, a hint of shyness in his gaze. “If my lord makes us do chores, it will roughen our hands.”

Sigh, Yan Jin sighed inwardly.

If you’re not as good-looking as Yuanyuan, don’t make that expression. It’s an eyesore.

[I’m an idiot. So they didn’t refuse Yu Shu’s request earlier because they were waiting for Yu Shu here.] [Indeed, mistresses and concubines are no good. They’re openly trying to seduce Yuanyuan’s wife right in front of her.]

Yan Jin ignored them and turned to ask Xiao Liu, who had come to inquire, “Is the Miss Mu they mentioned Mu Chu Yao?”

Before she left home today, she had already heard rumors that the source of the cheating scandal was inseparable from Mu Chu Yao.

The system even guessed that Mu Chu Yao might send her an apology gift.

Yan Jin had been quite looking forward to what the gift would be, but seeing these two people, she was very disappointed.

Can’t eat it, can’t drink it, just sending two people – you call this an apology gift?

Yuanyuan is pregnant. Mu Chu Yao sent men over – is this really an apology, or is she trying to make an enemy out of her?

The two youths were about to nod when Yan Jin didn’t even spare them a glance.

After getting an affirmative answer from Xiao Liu, Yan Jin finally shifted her gaze to them nonchalantly. “She wants you to warm my bed, and if I don’t accept, you’ll be sold to a brothel?”

The two youths nodded in unison.

What did that have to do with her?

That’s what Yan Jin thought, but she said, “I’m not the kind of person who loves to push people into a pit of fire.”

Amid the increasingly bright eyes of the two youths, Yu Shu leisurely said, “So you can stay.”

[??I misjudged you, Yan Jin!] [Although I also want to scold Yan Jin for being swayed by beauty, I always feel she has more to say. Let’s not scold her yet.]

The two youths were overjoyed, and the smiling-eyed youth even boldly asked, “Master, do you plan to let us serve you tonight?”

The other youth also looked at Yan Jin eagerly, hoping to get an affirmative answer from her.

“Serve?” Yan Jin was surprised. “You still have the energy after cleaning the house?”

The seductive youth felt something was off, but his companion, the smiling-eyed youth, hurriedly said, “Rest assured, Master, we have a lot of energy and won’t disappoint you.”

“That’s good.” Yan Jin breathed a sigh of relief. “I was thinking, since you just arrived, it’s not very nice to have you do a thorough cleaning right away. But since you have so much energy, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

The two youths’ hearts suddenly sank, sensing an ominous vibe.

“There were only four people in the house before, so the cloister walkways, gardens, and other areas were never thoroughly cleaned. Now that you’re here, clean the house inside and out.”

“Every brick and pebble in the house must be spotless.”

Saying this, Yan Jin sighed with extraordinary feeling, “It’s a good thing you’re full of energy, otherwise I wouldn’t dare ask.”

[Hahaha, I knew Yan Jin definitely wouldn’t follow the usual logic!] [From concubines to servants, too miserable, hahaha.]

“Master,” the seductive youth said with difficulty, “our duty is not to clean the house. We’re here to serve you. If our hands get rough, I’m afraid it will displease you.”

“I know,” Yan Jin said frankly. “But my husband and I are in a harmonious relationship, with no room for a third person. And I can’t bring myself to push you into a pit of fire, so I’ll have you be servants.”

The smiling-eyed youth was anxious and spoke bluntly, “But Miss Mu sent us here to warm your bed, Master.”

Yan Jin waved her hand. “She gave you to me, so you’re my people. I’ll deal with you as I see fit.”

Seeing the two youths dumbfounded, Yan Jin deliberately said, “Don’t worry, although your work will be a bit tiring and more than before, I promise you’ll still be untouched, not affecting your marriage prospects.”

The seductive youth crawled to Yan Jin’s feet and submissively prostrated himself. “But this slave is willing to follow Master.”

Seeing this, the smiling-eyed youth did the same. “As am I.”

“You’d rather I send you to a brothel than be a chaste servant?”

Yan Jin was extremely moved. “My charm is really increasing. I must go tell Yuanyuan.”

With that, Yan Jin lifted her foot and left, completely ignoring the two kneeling on the ground.

But before leaving, she didn’t forget to instruct Xiao Liu, “Make them finish their work before allowing them to eat.”
