Chapter 45: Women and Dogs (2)

  "What are you all doing here?" Lin Wanrong stood at the door and laughed loudly.

  Several maidservants looked up and saw Lin Wanrong, and they all cried out in surprise.

  "Huh, he seems to be that very majestic household servant." A maid exclaimed, and immediately the maids started chattering, their eyes completely fixed on Lin Wanrong, scanning him from head to toe.

  A woman may be shy and not have the guts, but ten women are bold and fearless, anyway, no one will laugh at you, so just watch with confidence.

  "Are you Lin San?" a small and delicate servant girl asked, this was someone who had made an effort to find out even his name.

  "It's right below. I don't know what instructions this sister has." Lin Wanrong said with a smile. What's the big deal, it's just ten women, what's there to be afraid of?

  The little girl's face turned red and she said, "Lin San, did you really come in through the front door today?" This question is currently being discussed by all the maids and houseboys in the big courtyard, and several little girls are also very curious, their eyes falling on him.

  Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Yes."

  Another maid said strangely: "As far as I know, every servant enters the house from the small door. Are you not afraid of Wang's steward and others?"

  Lin Wanrong thought for a moment and smiled: "Everyone has the dignity of being human, everyone should be respected, dignity is sometimes more important than life."

  Several young maids were a bit confused. In their understanding, once they became servants, even their lives had to be handed over to their masters. Where was the dignity in that?

  Lin Wanrong also felt that her idea was a bit too advanced for them, so she didn't discuss these things with them either. She smiled and asked: "By the way, have you sisters not told me yet, what brings you here? Are you looking for Uncle Fu?"

  Although several maidservants didn't quite understand his words, they still admired him in their hearts. After all, being able to stand up to the likes of Wang the housekeeper was something that only a handful of people in the entire Xiao family compound could do.

  "Third brother, we're not here to find Uncle Fu, we want to pick a few flowers in this courtyard. Don't tell Uncle Fu, okay?" Another servant girl was bolder and had blind admiration for Lin Wanrong, unknowingly calling out "third brother", with an expression that was a mix of shyness and coquettishness.

  "Are you going to pick flowers first and then handsome guys?" Lin Wanrong said with a flowery smile.

  The maids let out a collective shriek, their faces all flushed red, knowing that he had heard everything. They were naturally extremely embarrassed. However, with so many of them together, they didn't fear ridicule from one another. After teasing him for a while, one of the bolder maids said: "Third Brother, you're dead to me! Sisters, let's go pick flowers!"

  The maids giggled and ignored Lin Wanrong, each picking flowers on their own.

  "Third brother, take a look at this peony flower, would it look good on me if I wear it?"

  "Third brother, don't you think this chrysanthemum matches my clothes well?"

  "Third brother, isn't my figure just like this peony, mature and beautiful?"

  The oriole's voice and swallow's words surrounded Lin Wanrong's ears, these maidservants gathered together, their courage seemingly increased a lot, each one affectionately calling him "Third Brother", yet just a moment ago they didn't know him.

  I didn't expect these maids to be so enthusiastic and affectionate, Lin Wanrong felt a little overwhelmed. Although they weren't absolutely beautiful, they were all full of youthful vitality, like a few butterflies fluttering around Lin Wanrong's face. The soft voices and gentle words made Lin Wanrong feel a bit disoriented in the midst of the flowers.

  However, trouble soon came. The maids were all very interested in Lin Wanrong and kept asking him questions one after another: where was his hometown, who else was in his family, how old he was this year, whether he had been married, which young lady's family he liked first, and so on. They were all sharp-tongued and made Lin Wanrong somewhat overwhelmed with their inquiries.

  It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast, Lin Wanrong, surrounded by thousands of ducks, has a hard time speaking out, this is not enjoyment, it's clearly suffering. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come out even if you killed me.

  "Third Brother, didn't you ever like any young lady from another family before?" A mischievous big-eyed girl was leaning in close to Lin Wanrong, probing into his secrets.

  "No, no, I never liked being called 'Miss'." Lin Wanrong said with a serious and stern tone.

  Don't like the young lady, isn't that liking the maid? The speaker was unintentional, but the listeners were intentional. Several maids misunderstood his meaning and quickly blushed on their faces. This Lin San is quite handsome and has a good personality. If he wasn't of low status, he could be considered a charming person. The maids' cheeks turned pink, and none of them dared to look at him.

  Lin Wanrong still didn't know that her words had caused a stir, seeing the maids all quietly lowering their heads, just about to speak, but faintly heard a crisp cry.

  "What's that sound?" Lin Wanrong had extremely good hearing, and she heard it clearly. The sound was not unfamiliar, like the barking of a dog. In this large mansion of the Xiao family, they were all women, where would there be someone raising a dog? Lin Wanrong was puzzled in her heart, and still thought she had misheard.

  "What's that noise?" The little maid who had just been snooping on Lin Wanrong's private matters hastily asked, her face still flushed with two peach blossoms.

  The sound was getting closer and closer, Lin Wanrong had already confirmed that it was the barking of dogs, and it seemed to be coming in this direction. The Xiao family was a wealthy and influential household, raising a few dogs to guard the house and yard, which didn't seem strange at all, Lin Wanrong thought to himself, explaining away his doubts.

  As the barking of dogs gradually approached, several maids also heard it, and their expressions changed in unison: "Not good——" These maids seemed to have seen a ghost and exclaimed: "Third brother, hurry up and leave, if you don't leave now, it will be too late."

  Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, is this dog so scary? Why are these girls scared to the point where their faces have changed color? He smiled nonchalantly and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm not afraid."

  Several maids lost their composure, anxiously glanced at Lin Wanrong, didn't even want the picked flowers anymore, casually threw them on the ground, then fled in a flurry.

  The maidservants left, and the world became much cleaner. Lin Wanrong's ears finally calmed down. He let out a long sigh, shook his head in distress, and thought to himself that being handsome was indeed a big trouble.

  The dog's barking grew louder and closer, as if it was heading straight for the garden. Hmm, this is Fu Bo's territory, who dares to let their dog run wild in this garden? They must be really fed up with life.

  "Which family's beast are you? Get out of here quickly!" Lin Wanrong stood up and scolded loudly.

  He turned around, and he was stunned. This wasn't a dog, it looked like a wolf! A large wolf-like dog with paws as tall as half a person blinked its greenish eyes, staring at him with a fierce glint that anyone could see.
