Chapter 401 - Gossip

Lory doesn't want to left her bed but she have an important thing to do today, she make a long grunt to pull her face from the crumpled blanket, her long bluish hair has covered all of her faces and her still n.a.k.e.d under the blanket as she rubbed her yawn widely, she not even bother to cover her mouth.

[Do you want to take a day off today, girl?] Girsha on the bedside next to her but her hair covers her face.

Lory didn't say anything but let out a long exhale, she pulls the hair away from her face she rubbed her eyes until her purple eyes slightly red [I don't want to move..] Lory w.h.i.n.es.

Lory rests her cheek on the pillow as she curls inside the blanket then she mutter to herself [That man stamina is unbelievable...] Lory said with a tired voice, she never involved with any man other than Zhao Li Xin so she didn't know what normal is but she thought Zhao Li Xin appetited is not normal, too bad she has no one to ask about it.

[It's unbelievable he hasn't seen your mark yet] Girsha eyebrow twitch, perhaps human concentration is regressed when they are mating.

Lory snort with complacent looks [Luckily he's not just like being face to face during the fight but also during intimated moment too....]

[Good for you...] Girsha quipped as he doesn't know how else to comment, both Lory and Zhao Li Xin are weird, well that's maybe why they match each other so well.

Lory searches for her robes then she finds her robes already folded neatly on the small table, there be only one person who able to do that and that person couldn't be her. She kicks the blanket away from her as she rose from the bed and wears her robes. Because there's no tub for her to take bath Lory has to go out and take the cold water from the well but who knew a basin filled with warm water already place on the small table complete with the clean towel.

Lory face brightened as smiles bloom on her face, inside the basin Zhao Li Xin put fire crystal to keep the water temperature warm, is he forgot with her gift she also able to adjust the water temperature, maybe he knows but he didn't care. Lory thought his husband is the best if only she can introduce him to her family and friends, she wonders what would they said, they might impolitely say he is too handsome for her.

Lory chuckles softly then she tied her hair and slowly wash her face and brush her teeth, of course, is a toothbrush made by Zhao Li Xin for her, that man is genius whatever thinks she describes he would able to create it with no flaws. After clean up herself, Lory leaves the room, she needs to find more information about the three families.

This time she came with a basket full of man clothing, whose clothing? Of course, the clothing does not belong to Zhao Li Xin, she just picks up from everywhere, when she arrived near the river more maids are gathered, and by their uniform they might not come from the same household, Lory's eyes glint mischievously.

One of the maids who has met her yesterday welcomed her with smiles "Sister Luo, you are late today" she waves her hand as she beckoned lory to come faster.

With full basket Lory tottering towards them, Lory than make stupid smiles as she said "I anger my husband yesterday so I got up late today, thankfully all of you still here" 

Lory does look tired so they all believed her easily, it seems her husband truly treat her badly, the maids exchanged glance to each other as they're pity the faith of this brainless woman to have such a Husband.

Today Lory learned how chatty maids could be, when they hand working their mouth moves accordingly, she didn't know they would talk as much and Lory gathers a lot of information from them.

"Is fourth master Xie really going to marry miss Nan Yu Qi?" the maid with blue uniform asked while scrubbing the clothes.

"I don't know, nothing is official yet," said the girl with the green uniform "I feel bad for miss Chen Yi Suan if that really happened, the fourth master and Miss Chen been together for five years, we all thought our young master only waiting for miss Chen coming of age ceremony before they make the engagement official but who knew just a few months before miss Chen reach her coming of age day, this is happening" the young maid sighs,

"But who would have known suddenly Miss Nan Yu Wei...gone and so is young Master Xie Xiu Wei" one of the maids with the same green uniform shakes her head.

"And we didn't know who will become the next leader, Either is the third master or the fourth master?" the other maid chimed.

Lory feel a bit lost "Uhm…what about, the first and second master Xie?"

They suddenly looking at Lory with a surprised look but then they realize Lory only stay here for a few days, of course, she doesn't know anything, the maids who knew Lory before explain it to him "The first master is master Xie Xiu Wei and he is…..and the second master is also…..when he was young, this is a taboo matter, never talk about this in front of other people" she warns Lory.

Lory nods her head profusely "I won't" then Lory tilted her head and ask with a blank face "What about Chen's family….will they accept this?"

"I don't think so" the maid with blue uniform roll her eyes "Noble family is cruel and merciless, I can't imagine they would be magnanimous about this"

"The rumor is master Chen is supporting Third master Xie now, I don't know if this true but fourth master should be furious by now" the other maid with dark grey uniform sits on the small stones, she already finish her job but decide to stay to exchanged gossip.

"That's why the third master gathers new talented disciple to be his henchmen," the green uniform said in a whisper "Psst…this is a secret don't you dare to spread it" she glare as she warned her fellow maid.

Lory rolls her eyes secretly 'Telling a bunch of gossipers to keep secret? Yeah, right!'

"So that what happened in your household" the other maid giggles.

"That is not a secret because I heard from the gardener, he said he heard the conversation between the fourth master and his subordinated that he also wants to do the same, I think they will tackle each to gain talented supporter," said the other maid who also wear the same green uniform.

"Then what about Mo family, why I never heard about Mo family?" Lory suddenly joins in.

The maids are startled they body become stiffed and Lory notices the sudden change in everyone's face but lory maintains her oblivious smiles "Did I say wrong things again?" Lory make dry smiles.
