Chapter 330 A Series of Happy Events
Since the banquet, Xiao Siyue has not left the house. When she has nothing to do, she goes to play with her twin nieces.
The weather was nice that day, so she decided to go out for a walk.
However, she had probably stayed for too long, and after walking only a few steps, she felt extremely tired and went to a teahouse to rest.
Sipping her tea and watching the pedestrians on the street outside, a gentle breeze wafted in through the open window, and Xiao Siyue felt much more relaxed.
"Miss, look, that looks like the second young master."
Lan Yi, standing by the window, suddenly pointed in surprise at the pedestrians below.
What's wrong with this girl? She's just a second brother, what's the big deal?
Xiao Siyue did not get up, but continued to drink her tea. She had never liked drinking tea before, but recently she didn't know why, she suddenly fell in love with it.
"Miss, it's not just the second young master, there's also a girl."
Upon hearing that there was another girl, Xiao Siyue immediately put down her teacup, got up, and walked towards the window.
Looking down the street, it was indeed true, and she recognized the girl; she was the young lady named Ji Yunxi whom she had met at the Princess's banquet.
How could Second Brother be with Ji Yunxi? And look at that worthless smile on Second Brother's face, it's unbearable to look at. Xiao Siyue doesn't need to guess to know that Second Brother must have feelings for that girl.
Xiao Siyue stopped drinking her tea and started peeking through the window.
"Miss, does the second young master have a girl he likes?" Lan Yi's face was full of excitement.
The marriage of their second young master is a major worry for the old lady and the second wife.
"Yes, it should be." Xiao Siyue nodded; it was already quite obvious.
"Should we go back and tell the old ladies? They'll be so happy."
"Well, let's not talk about it for now. Second Brother will tell you when the time is right." Xiao Sizhe is a very decisive person. She must have her own reasons for not telling her now, so she naturally wouldn't ruin things.
Lan Yi is very obedient; she does whatever Xiao Siyue says.
The two men secretly watched the two people on the ground until Xiao Sizhe and Ji Yunxi could no longer see them, and then they stopped.
But as she turned around, Xiao Siyue discovered something else.
What's going on with her right-hand men, Chun Tao and Shi Hai? Why do their eyes seem to be locked in a long, drawn-out exchange?
Could it be...?
"Ahem." Xiao Siyue coughed twice on purpose, and the two of them immediately looked away, pretending that nothing had happened.
"Shi Hai, what were you looking at just now? Is there a flower or something on Chun Tao's face? You seemed quite engrossed in it," Xiao Siyue teased the two of them.
Before Shi Hai could say anything, Chun Tao's face immediately turned red, and she shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Siyue.
Shi Hai was also a little embarrassed, but he was a man and not easily embarrassed. He just stammered and didn't know what to say.
"Miss, I..."
"What... what's wrong with you?"
"Miss, I admire Chun Tao." Shi Hai glanced at Chun Tao, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist salute, his voice firm and loud, his eyes fixed on Xiao Siyue.
Xiao Siyue didn't expect Shi Hai to be so direct. She had only made a joke, and he immediately confessed his feelings to Chun Tao.
However, Xiao Siyue thought it was very good, as it showed that she was responsible.
"Shi Hai, get up first, let's sit down and talk." Xiao Siyue also sat down in the chair she had been sitting in before.
"Shi Hai, you said you're in love with Chun Tao, when did that start?" How come she hadn't noticed before?
"You're in love with Sister Chuntao?" Lan Yi was utterly shocked. She and Chuntao were practically always together, how could she not know?
"Lan Yi." Xiao Siyue was startled by the girl's startled voice.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I was just too shocked." Lan Yi quickly apologized.
"It's okay, come here first."
"Yes, Miss." Chun Tao replied somewhat aggrievedly, glancing at Chun Tao with an extremely resentful look that clearly said, 'You didn't even tell me, are we still the best in the world?'
Chun Tao wanted to laugh at Lan Yi's gaze. How could this girl be more like a child than her mistress, even though she was only a year younger than her?
She always remembered the first time she met her; she was clearly a timid and shy little girl, but now she was incredibly lively.
"Shi Hai, please continue." Seeing that Lan Yi had quieted down, Xiao Siyue turned to Shi Hai.
“Miss, I was injured while practicing martial arts before, and Chun Tao took care of me, so I…” During those days, Chun Tao would always apply medicine to her, and her gentle and careful manner touched her heart. After she recovered, she would think of Chun Tao from time to time, and when she went to sleep at night, Chun Tao’s gentle and serious face would linger in her heart.
"Oh, so you've fallen for Chun Tao?" She knew about Shi Hai's injury during martial arts practice, but she didn't know that Chun Tao had taken care of him.
"What about Chun Tao? If Chun Tao doesn't like you, then I won't stand up for you."
"Chuntao." Shi Hai was very happy to hear this, and then looked at Xiao Siyue with anticipation in his eyes.
Chun Tao's heart skipped a beat at Shi Hai's burning gaze. How could she not like him? She had liked him from the first moment she saw him. However, seeing that Shi Hai only had the camaraderie of a colleague as a fellow young lady's subordinate and no other feelings for her, she could only suppress her feelings quietly.
This time, Shi Hai finally saw her, and she suddenly couldn't hold back her tears.
"Chuntao, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Don't cry, I won't say anything." When Shi Hai saw Chuntao crying, he hurriedly stood up and wanted to wipe her tears with his sleeve, but then he put it down again.
When Chun Tao saw Shi Hai's silly appearance, she burst into laughter through her tears, wiped away her tears, and looked at Xiao Siyue.
“It’s alright, Miss. I also admire Shi Hai. I hope you can grant my wish.”
Xiao Siyue was also very happy. The two of them had been with her for several years, especially Chun Tao, who was her first maid. She valued her highly, so it was wonderful that the two of them could get married.
"Since you two like each other, I will naturally grant your wish. However, Shi Hai, I can tell you that even if you get married in the future, I will still side with Chun Tao. If you dare to bully Chun Tao, I will not forgive you." Xiao Siyue looked at Shi Hai, who had been grinning foolishly ever since Chun Tao said she liked him, and warned him with a very serious expression.
"Miss, rest assured, I will never let Chuntao down. I will cherish her with my whole life." Shi Hai clenched his fist and made a firm promise.
"Alright, I'll get back and start preparing your wedding banquet."
"Miss, how could we trouble you? We can just have the wedding ceremony as we please." She knew that her mistress had always been good to her subordinates, but she couldn't be so tactless as to make her mistress worry about her.
