Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass - Chapter 421

Chapter 421: Respect and Worship 6

Hearing Dong Jing say aloud that he liked Qi Qingyao, Lu Yan was naturally embarrassed. He hurriedly said, “You’re not allowed to speak of this outside. If you dare, be careful that I might kill your entire family.”

“…” Dong Jing felt maligned, but also wanted to laugh. ‘I’m the only one in my entire family…’

Dong Jing looked at his master’s hesitant manner and could not help but suggest, “Master, if you aren’t able to speak of this yourself, I could go and feel out what Lady Qi feels…”

“Do you also fancy her?” Lu Yan’s eyes widened with surprise.

What were they even talking about now? Dong Jing did not know whether to laugh or cry. “No, I am helping you to get a better picture!!”

“…”

Lu Yan instantly panicked. He paced the room for a bit again before waving his hand and saying, “It’s better if you don’t.”

“Ah?” Were they retreating just like this?

Lu Yan said, “If the probing fails, I’m afraid she will kick me out of this house, considering that woman’s character. I might not even be able to remain friends with her by then.”

So, this was what he was worried about. Dong Jing was, at any rate, his servant, so he suggested to Lu Yan, “Then, you could say that you can help buy the Pill of Omnipotence, but the price is that Lady Qi has to be your maidservant for a month.”

“Maidservant…” An image of Qi Qingyao kneeling down to wash his feet inexplicably floated into Lu Yan’s mind. Then came the image of her helping him undress in the morning and warming his bed at night.

His face suddenly went red.

He ran to the bed with smoke trailing behind him. He did not even take off his shoes before he covered himself in the blankets on the bed in embarrassment, wrapping the blanket over himself tightly.

Dong Jing, ???

What was wrong with the master all of a sudden?

…

…

Dong Jing closed the door for Lu Yan as he left. After that, he went straight to the side hall to look for Qi Qingyao, but the maid informed him that Qi Qingyao had gone to take a bath and was going to sleep.

Dong Jing decided to leave this matter for the next morning.

The following day, after the group had their breakfast…

Qi Qingyao was sitting down by the pond in the backyard as she fished. Rather than fishing, she was actually thinking about Lu Yan telling her to sell the house.

Dong Jing went up to her and greeted her.

Then, without beating around the bush, he mentioned offhandedly about the deal with her becoming Lu Yan’s maidservant for a month.

After bringing it up, he did not wait for Qi Qingyao to answer.

Dong Jing hurriedly left.

Qi Qingyao was left where she was alone, holding the fishing rod as she sat there, dumbstruck. After being silent for a long time, Si Jin came from the front yard. He saw Qi Qingyao spacing out and asked, “Sister, what are you thinking about?”

With some difficulty, Qi Qingyao tried recalling what Dong Jing said just now. She put down the fishing rod to the side and patted the stone seat beside her. After Si Jin sat down, she said, “Oh Si Jin, let me tell you something and you can give me some advice. Tell me if it’s proper or not.”

“Tell me about it.” Si Jin had some puffed rice candy in his hands. After he took a seat, he began nibbling on it like a hamster.

Qi Qingyao slowly recounted, “It’s like this, Dong Jing came looking for me just now. He came on Little Yan’s behalf to discuss a deal with me. The contents of the deal are…”

Then, Qi Qingyao gave a brief account of Dong Jing’s proposition.

After she was done.

Si Jin instantly said firmly, “I don’t agree with it!!”

“Why don’t you agree?” Qi Qingyao asked with wide eyes.

Si Jin pursed his lips and said, “To have Sister be his maidservant is to have you serve him! I’m not willing for that to happen!”

Qi Qingyao calmly explained, “But if you don’t agree, I’ll have to buy the Pill of Omnipotence myself and the cost of one pill is too expensive, I don’t want to pay for that. I also don’t want to sell the house. But if I can exchange a month of working myself like an ox doing household work and be able to get one of those super-expensive pills, I’m willing to do it.”
