章 13: 13. Soup

Third person POV

Hong er was shocked by the truth of her eyes. She didn't believe what is happening right now. She was a poor villager and became a slave, and she is a legal daughter of the Great General Xu. Even the emperor need to think twice before he talk to this general.

Xu Tingfeng noticed Hong er's disbelieve expression on her face. He chuckled and patted her head.

Xu Tingfeng: " we will explain it to you tomorrow. You need to rest after what happened today."

Xu Tingfeng summoned the maids to guide Hong er to her bedroom. After Hong er left the main hall, the three of them looked at each other.

Bai Huiqing: " Uncle Shu, please don't tell this to anyone until she can protect herself."

Shu Huatuo: " yes Madam"

Bai Huiqing: " Hubby, you know what to do right?"

Xu Tingfeng: " Uhm."

Xu Tingfeng nodded and walk out the hall.

Hong er POV

I had changed to my sleepwear, wasei~, even the night gown is high quality. Even if I sell my house and all my belongings, I still can't buy this nightgown. At that moment I didn't realize that the maids are looking me. I rub the gown like it is the softest thing I ever touched. Their chuckle woke me up from my imagination. I coughed and said " You can take a break, I am going to sleep. Good night." I quickly run to the bed and wrap myself with the fluffy blanket. How many times do I have to embarrass myself? My eyelids slowly close and I drift off to dream.

3 AM

I slowly open my eyes. I drag myself out of the bed and washed my face. I stretch my body and tidy up myself. I cover my eyes with my bangs, I'm still not used to people staring at my eyes. I grab a simple looking cloak and wrap myself with it. I open the door and noticed that there are guards patrolling. ' They must be cold.' ( November) When I was still a slave, I always woke up at 3 AM so it became a habit now. Huft… I have nothing to do. I don't really know the wind here ( she always play with the wind if she got bored). Meh… I will just cook.

I try to remember the way to the kitchen, the guards noticed me and bowed to me. I bowed back but their expression is so funny. ( They are shocked that a noble bowed to a servant.) They work really hard in this cold night. Should I make them a soup? I kept thinking what soup I should make while I walk to the kitchen. I didn't realize that there are 10 shadow guard following me. At last, I decided to make ginger soup and breakfast for the Lord and Madam. After 1 hour, I wrapped the bowls with a cloth and shouldered it with my hands carrying a pot of soup. When I walked outside, suddenly 2 men appear in front of me. I jumped, the soup in my hands almost fall.

Ah Tong: " Miss, we will carry the pot and the bag."

Hong er: " Who are you?"

Ah Xi: " We are here to protect miss."

I looked at their clothes, I saw the Xu family' logo. I let out a sigh and asked.

Hong er: " How many are your friends that are still hiding?"

They were surprised, they thought that I didn't know they followed me since yesterday. I only know they followed me but I don't know how many and where they were hiding. Since they didn't attack me, I don't care about them. But after I knew that they are here to protect me, I feel safe around them. They are too shocked that they forgot to reply me.

Hong er: " Gege ( brother), I mean no harm. Just tell them to come out here."

They made a hand signal, not long after, 8 people came out from nowhere. There are 5 women and 5 men, all of them wear black clothes with black mask covering half of their face.

I put down the pot and unwrap the bag. I took out ten bowls. I pour the soup to the bowl and pass it to them.

Ah Xi: " M-Miss?"

Hong er: "hm?"

I raised my eyebrow and smiled at them.

All of them: " ?"

Hong er: " hahaha, I made it for you guys. All of you had worked hard in this cold night to protect me. I only can repay you with this."

Ah Tong POV

The soup is warm and smell good. I was touched by the Miss's kindness. She think about us, she is worried about us. Because we are shadow guard, no one knows our existence except the Lord and Madam. No one cared about us except the Lord and Madam. But no one had been this kind toward us like the Miss. All of us are orphans. We were picked up and trained by the Lord. He took care of us and we serve him. It is a mutual relationship between us.

I drink the soup and surprised, it is so delicious. After I swallowed the soup, I feel a warm sensation inside my body. I look at my teammate, their cheeks are rosy.

Hong er: " If you guys wondering what I put in there, don't worry its good for your body. It is only a normal ginger soup with some herbs to warm up your body. Okay, up we go, I have to go see the other servants."

She lifted up the big pot, I immediately snatch it from her. " Miss, this is our duty to serve you. Not you serve us." I sighed.

Hong er: " hahaha, okay okay, you carry the pot."

We literally went to all of the guard posts but there isn't any tiredness on her face. She is better than I thought, as expected, the daughter of General Xu. Even their personality are similar.

I think the Miss is unconsciously grabbed all the servants heart. By looking at their expression after they drink the soup is obvious. She even gave the soup to the servants that passed through.

At last, we went to main gate and gave them the soup. But unexpectedly My Lord came home with his troops. Blood on his clothes, oohooo~, so he already kill that troublesome king Bei Zhou. How could a small kingdom dare to provoke the two biggest kingdoms in this realm?

But someone tugged on my sleeve, " Ah Tong, quickly bring new sets of bowls." She pushed my back. I used qinggong and I came back in 1 minute. You must be wondering how can a pot of soup feed all the servants in this residence? It is because the bowl is quite small and the soup is enough for more than a hundred people. My miss is cool right~
