Chapter Ten The Master is the Master

  It's already late afternoon, the sun sets in the west, and the colorful clouds are slowly appearing.

  For three years, Bai Miao had been silent and introverted. In the past three years, she could count on her fingers the number of times she had left the White House, even when she went out, she was always in a sedan chair. Her former room was rarely cleaned by others, and even Xiao Cui, who had followed her for many years, seldom entered. All the trivial matters in the room were taken care of by herself.

  Apart from having meals with the old lady, Bai Miao Xi usually cooks herself, making two dishes. At first, Yue Kang didn't have much luck, but these days Bai Miao Xi has been much warmer to him, and at least when nothing's wrong they can exchange a few words.

  Baimiao's cooking is really delicious, although it can't compare to the flavors of the past world, but what's precious is that they are all purely natural green foods.

  Today is the tenth day after marriage, and as soon as Yue Kang walked into the yard, a wave of vegetable aroma came rushing towards him. Hmm? Is it vinegar-braised yam or vinegar-braised bamboo shoots? There's also the smell of pine nut meat.

  Yue Kang hastily walked into the house.

  The woman was still slender and elegant, with a red veil covering her face, holding a bowl of steaming hot soup in her hand. When she saw Yue Kang come in, she nodded slightly without speaking. However, as soon as she lost focus for a moment, her foot stepped on a pearl that had fallen from the curtain.

  Her body involuntarily lost its balance, her body leaned back, and the soup bowl in her hand was thrown up along with her unstable body, spilling the soup out of the bowl.

  Yue Kang saw the situation was not good, took a big step forward, stretched out his hand to pull back Bai Miao Xi who was about to fall, the soup that had been splashed out was seen falling from above, the scalding water droplets kicked up a layer of water vapor in mid-air. Yue Kang couldn't care about too much, with both hands wrapped around Bai Miao Xi's waist, he laid her down on the ground, his body completely pressing down on hers.

  The soup splashed all over Yue Kang's body, back, buttocks, and legs, causing a sharp stinging pain.

  Their bodies were almost merged together, a faint and subtle virgin fragrance wafted into Yue Kang's nostrils, as if he no longer felt the pain in his back. The face close at hand, Yue Kang felt Bai Miao Xi's breathing, that weak and small breath patted against Yue Kang's face, her eyes were black and shiny, with long eyelashes blinking rapidly.

  She stared with wide eyes, seemingly forgetting that the man was still pressing down on her. Her dazed eyes gazed straight at the familiar yet strange face. His eyebrows were thick and dense, his eyes were very spirited, his breathing was urgent, and his expression was strange, as if he was hoarse from shouting. This made Bai Miao Xi suddenly remember something, "Does it hurt from the burn?"

  "It doesn't hurt, it's just that my clothes are wet, I'll go change into another set." Yu Kang reluctantly left the soft body, saying "it doesn't hurt" but as soon as he turned his face away, his face scrunched up like a steamed bun.

  Watching the back shadow entering the inner room, Bai Miao's emotions were complicated. She thought of the intimate contact between the two earlier and couldn't help but blush a little. If he hadn't shielded her, she would have been the one injured this time. Her heart couldn't help but feel a hint of emotion.

  …………..

  Wang Fu is one of the most favored servants of Yue Kang. He has some cleverness and is very diligent in his work, having been a servant in the Bai family for over five years. Wang Fu looks somewhat comical, with a face that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and he is not tall but slightly fat.

  Some people are too honest and always get bullied by other servants, not well received by the steward Zhang Jinchang. In private, Wang Fu told Yue Kang that the reason he was not well received by Steward Zhang was because last time Steward Zhang took him to the kiln to find Lezi, but apparently he was just a gatekeeper, and Steward Zhang asked him to keep it secret, which he did. However, who knew that after a few days, the whole Bai family knew about this matter, and it even reached the ears of the mother-in-law in the Zhang family, which was terrible. She had been quarreling with Steward Zhang for several days, not allowing him to go to bed.

  Zhang Guan suddenly pointed the spearhead at Wang Fu, thinking it was Wang Fu who had spoken out. He made trouble for Wang Fu everywhere, and even the servants who were closer to him suffered as a result. As time went on, Wang Fu was constantly bullied and felt extremely wronged and suffocated in his heart.

  When Yue Kang saved him from the jaws of death, he also said that from then on, he would follow him. After speaking, Wang Fu felt so moved that he almost knelt down to thank Yue Kang, tears streaming down his face.

  "Master, shall we prepare a sedan chair for our outing today?" Wang Fu asked with a fawning expression.

  "No need, let's walk out, I want to take a good stroll." Yue Kang wore a light blue long gown and carried Wang Fu on his back with his hands, walking out of the courtyard.

  As soon as he walked up to the Bai family's gate, Yue Kang saw that the guards at the entrance were exchanging sly whispers with each other after catching sight of him.

  Yue Kang sneered inwardly, these few guards relied on Zhang Jinchang to bully and do evil in the White family, oppressing other servants, and even being arrogant towards themselves, not even greeting them when they met, but instead holding their heads higher.

  Yue Kang walked over, and the four guards stopped their private conversation, all looking at Yue Kang with disdain in their eyes.

  "All four of you, stand up straight! What kind of discipline is this as guards?" Yue Kang's face turned stern, and he shouted.

  The four guards seemed to have not heard anything, still leaning against the wall with a lazy attitude. Yue Kang smiled in his heart and thought that they really wanted to play with him. He changed his expression on his face and said, "Didn't you hear what I just said?"

  One of the guards glared at him even more fiercely, muttering, "What are you?"

  Following Yue Kang, Wang Fu had a lot of confidence with Yue Kang by his side. "What did you just say about my brother-in-law? Say it again."

  That guard, seeing Wang Fu, came forward two steps, looking down at him, "What business is it of yours what I say? Why do you want to look for a fight?" Step by step he pressed in on Wang Fu.

  The guard dog has brought it back home.

  Wang Fu just said a few harsh words, and he, who had been suffering in the White family for a long time, really didn't dare to fight with the five big and three thick guards, staring with a look of unwillingness to show weakness.

  Yu Kang threw a straight punch at the guard's right cheek, followed by a hook punch to the guard's chin, and then kicked his knee into the guard's stomach. The guard was knocked to the ground before he could react. The other three guards rushed over, ready to intervene.

  "Do you want to rebel?" Yue Kang shouted loudly.

  Three guards stopped in their tracks, intimidated by the sharp gaze of Yue Kang. They didn't dare to make a move after all, Yue Kang was the master of the White family, and if they really made a move, they probably wouldn't be able to leave the White family's gate alive.

  They had the performance just now completely because they couldn't stand this soft-rice-eating little white face, and besides, with Zhang Guanjia sitting in town, even if they were not respectful to this little white face, it wouldn't be a big deal. Everything would be settled by Zhang Guanjia.

  But they never thought that this delicate-looking Bai family's young master would actually take action.

  The commotion here attracted many servants and maids to gather around, all discussing and wondering what had happened.

  Yue Kang let out a heavy hum in front of the three guards, and then kicked one of the guards lying on the ground with a heavy kick. The guard let out a loud cry, and blood gushed out from his nose and mouth. The guard seemed to have lost his mind, cursing loudly, and Yue Kang kicked him again, this time kicking away two of the guard's teeth.

  "I'm going to let you know what it means to be a servant and what it means to be a master." Bang bang, two more kicks.

  That guard was crying on the ground, and three guards who had just wanted to take action were all sweating in their palms, grateful that they hadn't taken the lead earlier.

  The bloody scene also made the onlookers tremble with fear, they realized that this young master was not as easy to bully as he seemed on the surface.

  "Wang Fu, wasn't he just going to beat you up? Come and hit me." Yue Kang said.

  Wang Fu'er didn't say a word and kicked the guard on the ground with his fists and feet, the fierce strength seemed to vent out all the resentment he had accumulated over the years.

  After the two of them had enough, Yue Kang put down a sentence, "The master will always be the master, and the dog will always be a dog. Let your Zhang Guanjia manage well." The two swaggered out of the Bai family gate.

  Zhang Jinchang's housekeeper arrived late, asking what had happened. The three guards recounted the events that had just transpired. As Zhang listened, his brow furrowed tighter and tighter, and a faintly discernible malicious glint appeared in his eyes. Inwardly, he thought: "Master? Dog? Hmph... we'll see about that."
