A Simple Divination, Confession And Punishment

156

Sunday.

　　It was just dawn, and the mountains seemed to be covered with a hazy veil. The birds in the woods were chirping, and the originally silent mountains were gradually waking up.

　　Luxury cars kept coming down the mountain. Rolls-Royce, Lincoln, Maybach... too many to keep up with. They were all people who lived in luxury houses. Most of them were celebrities in Hong Kong's business circle, and they were busy running around for various business trips early in the morning.

　　After a burst of boiling noise, as the fog gradually dissipated, the mountains became quiet again.

　　Chu Yuening also woke up when the sunlight shone in from the window. After washing up, she went to the next room and opened the door.

　　The bedroom curtains were still drawn, making it dim. The pink floral silk quilt on the big bed had been neatly folded, and a pair of slippers embroidered with Chibi Maruko-chan cartoon dolls were neatly placed beside the bed.

　　The only person I didn't see was Chu Yi.

　　She looked around and blinked: "Where are the people?"

　　I vaguely remember that when I came back from the game hall yesterday, I ran into Chu Yi lying on the table in the living room doing homework. She even said that she would get up later today.

　　Chu Yuening didn't look for it anymore and went downstairs.

　　Several servants greeted her on the way, and she responded with a smile.

　　The Qiao family hired too many servants, and she didn't like crowds very much, so she kept four of them to work, and paid the rest a full month's salary and asked them to leave.

　　The fourth aunt who was in charge of the kitchen quickly brought a bowl of noodles to the table and said with a smile, "Miss, it's time for breakfast."

　　"Thank you." Chu Yuening's eyebrows were curved and her little face was smiling. All the fatigue of the night was swept away by the fragrant noodles.

　　Fourth Aunt was very nervous watching the young lady eating breakfast. She was finally picked by Mrs. Qiao to work at Miss Chu's house, and it turned out that not only was there little work, but the salary was also high.

She had compared them and found that Miss Chu's salary was much higher than that of her other friends.

　　She didn't have to live in a crowded servants' room, had a spacious residence, good food and accommodation, and a high salary. Of course, she didn't want to give up such a good job.

　　"Ms. Ningning, how does it taste? Are you satisfied? I heard that there is a very famous kind of plain noodles in the mainland. I was worried that you might not be used to Western pastries, so I found someone to teach me how to cook many different kinds of noodles."

　　"It smells very good. Thank you, Fourth Aunt." Chu Yuening felt warmed in her heart. She had not eaten plain noodles for a long time. Trying the familiar taste again made her feel much happier.

　　The fourth aunt had been waiting all morning because she didn't know what time the young ladies would get up. After being praised, she cleared the dishes on the table and said, "As long as you young ladies like to eat, I am willing to cook every day."

　　"Aunt Si, have you seen Ayi?"

　　"The young lady went to the garden early in the morning and seemed to want to dig something. I asked the workers to help, but the young lady refused."

　　Chu Yuening went to the garden at the back, and sure enough, she saw a petite figure moving around in the dirt from a distance. She was wearing a straw hat, half bent over, holding a small hoe and waving it seriously in the soil.
