Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 182 The Boy's Heartbeat

The east courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion.
    Cheng Qi brought over big and small boxes.

    "Oh, why is it that the Second Master came in person to deliver it?" Qin Shaojing's nanny saw Cheng Qi coming, her face flushed and her tone strange, "This is the work of the servants!"

    Cheng Qi's position in the Marquis's Mansion is awkward. He is just a clan member of the Cheng family, not a real master. The Marquis took him in because of their kinship. The servants treat him differently according to his social status and usually ignore him.

    This is especially true for Qin Shaojing's people.

    Calling him Second Master is already giving him face.

    "I have nothing to do at home, so I came by." Cheng Qi listened to the weird tone of the nanny and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

    "Then I'll trouble you, Second Master. We are short of manpower and are all busy in the front yard. Please help carry the things into the house." Nanny Qin was not polite and directly ordered Cheng Qi to do the work.

    Cheng Qi was not annoyed and helped unload the goods with the servant who came over.

    After he had moved all the boxes down, he heard a voice coming from the entrance of the courtyard, "There will be a poetry gathering tomorrow. That idiot Cui Tonghua said she would invite a bunch of people to come. Did Lu Lingjun send the things to me? Don't delay me. That woman is annoying. She just pretends to be nice, but she can't give me any real benefits..."

    Qin Shaojing's voice stopped abruptly because she saw Cheng Qi standing in the yard.

    Suddenly, the atmosphere on the field became slightly awkward.

    "Brother Cheng Qi, why are you here?" Qin Shaojing immediately raised a bright smile and smiled at Cheng Qi.

    "I happened to have nothing to do, and when I saw that there was something to be arranged at the mansion, I asked my sister-in-law for a job and came to help." Cheng Qi replied.

    Qin Shaojing heard this, stepped forward with a considerate look on his face, and said softly, "How can this be possible? Brother Cheng Qi, you are the master after all. How can it be your turn to do this kind of work? Look, you are sweating."

    Qin Shaojing took out a handkerchief and handed it to Cheng Qi.

    When Cheng Qi saw the pink silk handkerchief, his heartbeat quickened. He hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped it across his face. "I'm fine. Thank you, Miss Qin."

    "Brother Cheng Qi, why are you being so formal with me? I only treat you as my cousin Yun Shuo. If you don't mind, you can just call me Shao Jing from now on."

    Qin Shaojing smiled brightly and generously, just like a rose in full bloom in June, so dazzling.

    Cheng Qi's thoughts drifted away for a moment. He uttered three words slowly from his dry throat, "Okay, Shao, Jing..."

    The last two words took up all his strength, and just saying them made his blood boil like a turbulent sea in his heart.

    Even if it didn't show on his face at all.

    Still looking at Qin Shaojing with that cold look.

    Qin Shaojing smiled brightly, "I knew that Brother Cheng Qi treated me as his sister. By the way, did you hear anything just now?"

    She got to the point slowly, with a hint of danger in her eyes.

    "Nothing." Cheng Qi was already distracted at the moment, and he didn't think about what Qin Shaojing had just said when he entered the room. Besides, he actually heard it, but he didn't care much.
