Chapter 393

But this retro feel doesn't make people uncomfortable; instead, it evokes a sense of nostalgia for the past.

As expected of a mother, even the house she chose has such good taste. It turns out that all those rumors that were bad for her were wrong.

"Sister Yun Xi's room is as tidy as ever."

When Qiao Xinying reached a bedroom in the back row on the first floor, she pushed open the door and went inside.

A knowing smile appeared on my face upon seeing the sparkling clean windows and the spotless bed.

"Sister Yun Xi? Is Mom's room on the second floor?"

Qiao Xinying walked to the stairs and looked at the passageway on the second floor.

There are many bedrooms on the first floor, but only Yun Xi's bedroom is actually in use.

As she climbed the stairs to the second floor, the creaking sound made her wonder if the stairs were too old.

"Yeah, how could that old woman Qiao Ranxin possibly live on the first floor with me?"

"Besides, there's a wine cellar on the second floor, which would be more convenient for her, and besides, that guy likes to sleep..."

Yun Xi, who was eating an ice pop, suddenly stopped, her face turning pale as if she had thought of something terrible.

The popsicle in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, and Yun Xi was frozen in place as if petrified.

"Yun Xi? What's wrong?"

Luo Lan, who was sitting on the sofa looking up recipes, closed the book and looked at Yun Xi.

Why did this girl suddenly freeze up like she'd lost her soul?

"Holy crap! Xinying, don't go into your mom's bedroom yet!! I haven't had time to tidy up today!!!"

"No!! Don't open that forbidden door!! You'll go blind!!!"

Coming to her senses Yun Xi hurriedly jumped off the sofa and rushed upstairs like a gust of wind, her bare feet barely touching the ground.

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! She hasn't even tidied up Qiao Ranxin's bedroom yet!!

If Xinying were to see that messy bedroom, wouldn't that be...?

"Oh dear... so Yun Xi has been taking care of Madam's daily life all along...?"

Left alone in the lobby, Luo Lan silently watched Yun Xi rush towards the stairwell.

No wonder the lady offered Yun Xi such a high price; it turns out that's why.

However, thinking about it this way, Yun Xi's job is really not easy. After all, taking care of the madam is not something that ordinary people can endure.

At the very least, he couldn't do that, because the lady was much more difficult to deal with than the young lady.

In a sense, Yun Xi is quite remarkable; she has managed to take such good care of the madam.

However, this incident... has completely shattered the image of the lady as a perfect goddess in the young lady's eyes...

Silence, an eerie stillness, enveloped Qiao Ranxin's bedroom.

It was as cold and biting as the wind blowing from the tundra, penetrating to the bone.

The smile on Qiao Xinying's face had vanished without a trace, and she stood there like an ice sculpture radiating cold air.

Yun Xi, who ran up behind her, slapped her face and lowered her head with a helpless expression.

Oh no... Xin Ying just had to come back on the day she hadn't tidied Qiao Ranxin's bedroom...

This is a complete disaster; she shouldn't have let Xinying see this.

"Sister Yun Xi, can you explain to me what's going on?"

Qiao Xinying had been standing there silently for an unknown period of time, suddenly turned around and looked at Yun Xi.

A gentle smile graced her delicate and pretty face as she pointed her snow-white little finger at the messy bedroom, littered with trash.

A huge black curtain covered the window like a black umbrella, plunging the entire bedroom into darkness.

Underwear discarded by Qiao Ranxin was scattered all over the floor, potato chip crumbs were strewn on the cashmere blanket, and garbage bags of puffed food were lying on the bedside table.

There were even a few wine bottles rolling on the floor, and the pungent smell of alcohol permeated the air.

This scene, comparable to a garbage dump, struck Qiao Xinying's heart like a giant hammer.

The perfect goddess image that Qiao Ranxin had created in her mind was shattered in an instant.

"Uh... well... let me explain!!!"

Yun Xi, covered in sweat, stared at Qiao Xinying, who was smiling at her.

This girl's smile... it looks so creepy...

Chapter Thirty-Four: Advertisement! Don't miss it!

"I can explain it to you! There are quite a few reasons for this!!"

"Ah! Right, right! Actually, it's because Qiao Ranxin was busy all day yesterday and came back very late, so she made the bedroom look like this."

"You know your mother is the principal and has a lot of things to do every day, so sometimes she's too tired to pack properly."

"But you can rest assured, this is only a very rare occurrence! Qiao Ranxin is not the kind of woman who is sloppy and disheveled! As her daughter, you know this best, don't you?!"

Yun Xi, who was sweating profusely, was now praising Qiao Ranxin to the skies.

She never dreamed that one day she would speak up for Qiao Ranxin, and even go to great lengths to smooth things over for her.

However, she would only say this to Qiao Xinying, since she didn't want to disappoint her.

Qiao Ranxin occupies the most important place in Xinying's heart; the girl has always regarded Qiao Ranxin as a perfect goddess.

Xin Ying admires Qiao Ranxin; that girl's goal is to one day become a perfect and outstanding woman like Qiao Ranxin.

If that girl knew that Qiao Ranxin, whom she had always admired, was not perfect and was actually a lazy and decadent homebody, Xinying would probably be very sad.

What did Mom do yesterday?

Qiao Xinying walked into the room and looked around coldly.

Her eyes twitched slightly as she looked at the triangular black lace panties and bra carelessly discarded on the carpet beside the bed.

Glancing at the scattered crumpled paper and various garbage bags at her feet, Qiao Xinying squatted down, picked up two wine bottles, and brought them to her nose.

The smell of alcohol emanating from the bottles was pungent and overpowering; these were two bottles of very strong liquor, otherwise she wouldn't have felt dizzy just from taking a sniff.

Veins bulged unnaturally at the corners of his eyes, and his entire face looked extremely pale.

"Sister Yun Xi, do you think someone who has been busy all day would still be in the mood to drink such strong liquor after getting home?"

"And drinking two bottles at once, that kind of strong liquor is enough to make someone sleepy all day."

Qiao Xinying took a deep breath and looked at the blonde little girl behind her with a smile.

She didn't believe that the messy bedroom was the result of someone who had worked a lot of hard work.

Yun Xi's words contained serious contradictions; they sounded like something she had come up with on the spot and had absolutely no logic.

How could someone who's exhausted after get off work possibly have the leisure to eat and drink so much? That explanation is far-fetched.

"Ah... ah... actually Qiao Ranxin wasn't particularly busy yesterday... maybe she was just a little busy? So she had a drink after she got back..."

After saying that Yun Xi felt like slapping herself twice.

Who would believe that? She herself doesn't believe it, let alone anyone else.

"Sister Yun Xi, when is Mom coming back?"

Qiao Xinying casually tossed the empty wine bottle into the trash can and turned to look at Yun Xi at the door.

Sister Yun Xi probably tried so hard to explain because she didn't want to make herself sad.

I never imagined my mother would look like this when she's alone. It's truly... unbelievable...

"Oh? Oh, she went to the Imperial Moon Academy for a social event, but I don't think she'll stay long. After all, she's not really into those kinds of activities. I think she'll be back around six or seven in the afternoon."

Yun Xi scratched the back of her head awkwardly and muttered something under her breath.

It's a little surprising that Xinying wasn't angry about this...

"Is that so? Then I'll wait for her to come back here. Everything will be clear when she returns."

"Sister Yun Xi, let's tidy up here a bit first."

Qiao Xinying squatted down and focused intently on cleaning up the trash bags.

Her previously gloomy expression vanished like the sun breaking through the rain, replaced by a bright and beautiful smile.

"Ah... okay..."

Yun Xi was a little confused after seeing this; she couldn't figure out what Xinying had done.

According to the normal procedure, shouldn't they have acted very angry and questioned themselves or Qiao Ranxin?

Why is this girl now obediently tidying up the house for Qiao Ranxin?

"Sister Yun Xi, this blanket needs to be washed, there are too many potato chip crumbs on it."

Qiao Xinying pointed to the blanket covered in crumbs beneath her and said, "Calm down. What you need to do now is calm down."

There's no point in worrying about these things now; let's wait until Mom comes back before we talk about it.

"Okay... I'll go wash it right away..."

Coming to her senses Yun Xi nodded blankly.

Although I don't know what happened, it's already quite impressive that Xinying remained so calm...

Milutin and Yao Shi, who had already left the room, slowly walked out of the hall.

Yao Shi stroked her chin, lost in thought. After tidying up the room for the master, he urged her and Milutin to leave.

What exactly did the master want to say by keeping Yao Qing behind? And what information about the young master would Yao Qing report to the master?

"Hey, stop thinking about the master's affairs. No matter how much you think about it, it won't make a difference, will it?"

"Let's just observe how the young master performs from now on. All we need to do now is trust him."

Milutin looked away from his phone, patted Yao Shi on the shoulder, and smiled slightly.

She believed in the young master; she was sure he could persuade the master.

After all, the young master has been completely transformed, and the master will definitely accept the current young master.

"Heh, you're right. As the young master's maids, all we need to do is trust him wholeheartedly."

"I didn't expect you to sometimes say such things; I'm a little surprised."

Upon hearing Milutin's words of comfort, Yao Shi suddenly smiled. Yes, what was she worrying about all by herself?

The other party is no longer the wise young master who lived under her protection.

"Hey, I'm trying to comfort you, can't you say something nice?"

Milutin pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction.

I was just trying to be kind and concerned for this girl because I saw her feeling down.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you."

Milutin ignored Yao Shi and continued reading an e-book on his phone with great interest.

Hmm, this novel about transmigrating to another world is quite good, and it's somewhat to her liking.

What are you looking at?

Yao Shi glanced at Milutin and asked with some curiosity.
