Private Adviser of the Nonpareil

Chapter 6

"Well... It's not because I was hidden under the table. I just came in to play. Don't be nervous. No one can bully me." Liu Yun was reluctant to leave his cousin's arms. He glanced at her subconsciously and said casually.

Upon hearing this, the girl stopped crying and looked up and down at Liu Yun's body to make sure that there was nothing wrong with him. She said wittily, "Xin'er was scared to death. When I came back, I saw the brothers of the Wu family coming back from the backyard. Xin'er thought that my cousin was beaten again."

"No, my cousin won't be bullied anymore," Liu Yun said with a carefree laugh.

"Hee hee, that's good. Cousin, guess what Xin'er brought back today?" Lan Xin'er stuck out her tongue and asked cutely.

"What's that?" asked Liu Yun very cooperatively.

Lan Xin'er said in a low voice with a guilty conscience, "Bpig elbow meat. The First Sir didn't have much appetite today, so he left some food. I thought it was a pity to throw it away, so I secretly took some back while no one was paying attention. Unfortunately, Xin'er was afraid, so she only stole a little, but it should be enough for cousin to eat. Hee hee."

Upon hearing this, even the hardest rock would soften, much less Liu Yun. Looking at the mischievous Lan Xin'er, who had a cute and moving smile on her face, he could not help enduring the pain and helplessness. At the age of eight, she had to be a maid, a coolie, and raise this useless man and his family.

"Sigh, it's been hard on you all these years. It's all my fault. I promise you that I'll let you lead a good life," Liu Yun said emotionally.

As she quietly leaned into her cousin's embrace, Lan Xin'er's lovely smile slowly froze. The grievance, pain, and helplessness that she had accumulated over the past six years quietly broke out.

She couldn't help but burst into tears, and her head was buried in Liu Yun's arms. She tried hard to restrain her emotions, but she couldn't control it. The violent sob and choking sound resounded through the whole wooden house.

Liu Yun almost fell asleep after crying for a long time. He didn't know how much Liu Yun had suffered, but she still couldn't stop even after a long time.

Lan Xin'er seemed to have sensed Liu Yun's thoughts and left her embrace in embarrassment. She slowly stood up and wiped her tears. Her voice was as small as a mosquito's as she said, "I, I'm going to cook first." She ran away as she spoke.

Liu Yun grinned and stretched his arms. His legs were a little sore and numb. He stood up, gritting his teeth. He twisted his waist and shook his neck. He looked up at his cousin, who was on fire, and looked her up and down.

She was dressed in a green shirt of orchids and scattered flowers. Her shoulders were slender and her eyes were lively. Her skin was as fine and smooth as warm jade, and her small mouth was red without being touched. The two strands of hair on her cheeks were dripping with sweat. She had black hair and a pair of smart and moving eyes under her slender eyebrows.

Although she usually did some dirty and hard work, it did not affect her white and tender skin at all. He really didn't know how she took care of it. At such a young age, she was already beautiful enough to overthrow the country. In the future, she would be a beautiful woman who could bring disaster to the country and the people.

Could it be that the heavens were pitying him when they saw him in love? They had just arrived after time-traveling and met two beautiful women. Each of them had a strong personality and one was agile and charming.

At this time, Lan Xin'er seemed to be less shy. She said while she was burning, "Today, First Young Master's body is a little cold. I was supposed to serve him for the whole night. But I thought that my cousin was so hungry that he would study hard, so I asked Sister Mei to help me. I ran back before I changed my clothes, hee hee."

"I'm no longer a child. I know how to take care of myself. Oh, right, let me tell you something. That... I accidentally lost my qualification to take the examination because of the fatty," Liu Yun said, blushing a little.

Hearing this, Lan Xin'er, who was using a small iron shovel to cook, stiffened. The shovel accidentally fell into the pot. In a panic, she picked up the shovel and put on a calm expression. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "It doesn't matter. I trust Cousin's literary talent. I'll work hard for three years. I'll definitely take the exams in three years."

Looking at Lan Xin'er's absent-minded and dazed expression, Liu Yun couldn't help but feel a stab of pain in his heart. In the past six years, she had been a maid, serving others, and doing the most painful and tiring work. Wasn't it for today, for today's test?

But now it turned out to be bubbles. Liu Yun felt ashamed and touched his nose. He walked to the wooden table casually and looked at the book on it. He tried to change the topic. "Did you make this table for me?"

"Eh? Well, that's four years ago. At that time, my cousin saw everyone at the desk, but he didn't. After returning home, he lost his temper. Xin'er worked together to make such a table when you were asleep. But Xin'er is not very good at carpenter work. She failed a little." Lan Xin was hit and successfully changed the subject.

"Who said that? This is the most beautiful table I have ever seen. If I become emperor in the future, I will put this table on the throne hall and use it to deal with state affairs. Haha." Liu Yun seemed to be joking.

"Shush! Deities calm their anger, deities calm their anger. Cousin, how can you casually say something like this? There are deities everywhere. If deities hear us, they will definitely punish us," Lan Xin'er said extremely nervously.

"I'm fine. I'm just kidding. When do we have a meal? I'm starving to death," Liu Yun rubbed his belly and asked pitifully.

"That's good. Cousin should clean up the table." Hearing this, Lan Xin finally recalled that the dish was still in the pot. She immediately shrank cutely, stuck out her tongue and said.

He simply wiped the table and threw the poems and books on the table aside. Everything was almost done. He saw Lan Xin'er walking over with a small pot of steaming dishes.

Maybe it was too hot, so when it was placed on the table, she was a little embarrassed. Lan Xin'er stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. She turned around and brought a bowl of black pickles and a few pieces of bread.

Lan Xin'er lowered her head as if she had done something wrong. She bit a mouthful of black bread and said weakly, "Well... I know my cousin doesn't like pastries, but he won't pay me until half a month later. He won't eat the black noodles for a few days. Please bear with it for a while. Tomorrow, I'll find a way to get some food."

She was not as energetic as she was just now. It seemed that her cousin must have hit her many times for food.

"It's okay. I've had enough of rice. It's good enough to eat bread," Liu Yun said with a smile. He even grabbed a piece of brown bread and chewed it in big mouthfuls.

"Really? Xin'er was scared to death." Hearing this, Lan Xin'er regained her smile and began to eat happily.

Liu Yun looked at the dishes. There were only two pots of vegetables on the table. One was made of stewed potatoes and coriander with pig elbow, and the other was a mass of pickled vegetables. The color of the dishes looked shriveled, and Liu Yun had not known how many days they had eaten.

"Xin'er, that pot of pickled vegetables is broken, isn't it? Don't eat it. Isn't there meat here? Eat more," Liu Yun said, feeling a little sorry for Xin'er.

"It's not bad. Xin'er ate very well. Cousin, have you forgotten? Xin'er doesn't like meat the most. She wants to vomit." Lan Xin'er picked up a small piece of pickled cucumber and chewed it with relish as she spoke.

"Nonsense, I haven't heard of this disease. You grow up, so you can't eat pickles every day. Besides, my cousin just ate a lot of meat, and he even ate drumsticks. If you don't eat, these meat can only be thrown away."

"Xin'er doesn't believe it." Lan Xin'er shook her head and said firmly.

"It's true. That fat man might feel sorry for me, so he invited me to have a meal."

"Really? Looks like that lord is kind-hearted and must be a good official. Then, I'll eat some." As she spoke, Lan Xin'er carefully picked up a piece of meat and sniffed it before placing it into her mouth and chewing it seriously.

Seeing his cousin eating the meat carefully, Liu Yun smiled and ate a few mouthfuls of brown bread.

After dinner, his cousin busily tidied up the room. Liu Yun sat on a soft couch with a bored expression. As he thought about what had happened on the day, he quickly fell asleep. Too many things had happened on the day, both physically and mentally. Liu Yun was exhausted.

He had a really good sleep. After some time, a loud noise woke him up. He got out of bed and rubbed his eyes.

He looked out of the window and saw that the sun was already hanging in the horizon. The dazzling sunlight made Liu Yun's eyes glazing over. He scanned the room and realized that he was the only one left. He had no idea where his cousin had gone.

###Chapter8,Being Despised, Troubled!

He came to the table in a daze and left a small note on it, writing, "Cousin, I'm sorry, Xin'er got up a little late. She didn't have time to cook and was about to go out. Otherwise, Elder Master would certainly blame her. Fortunately, there was some pork elbow meat left last night. They were all put in the iron pot. I can eat it directly."

Liu Yun's mind finally cleared when he saw this. He opened his eyes wide and looked around. Inadvertently, he glanced at the straw mat under the table and saw a thick mass of fabric on it.

"Huh? What's that?" Liu Yun squatted down with a suspicious face. He reached out to touch it and flipped it left and right. The edges had been sewn up and touched neatly.

Could it be that this silly girl was sewing at night to mend this thing? Yes, in addition to going up to the mountain to cut firewood and being a servant girl, she also had to do some needlework at night.

"Alas, I'm too heartless. I'll go to sleep after I'm done eating."

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She walked weakly to the stove and gently opened the cover. The smell of meat immediately came to her nose.

This silly girl asked her to eat more meat, but she refused to listen to her. She didn't eat much left. Although she was very hungry, Liu Yun held back after thinking for a while. He reached out for a piece of brown bread and put it in his pocket.

Then he covered the wooden cover slowly, stretched out and walked out.

The moment he walked out of the house, he saw the five Wu Brothers baring their teeth and rolling on the ground.
