The Young Master
墨書 Inktalez
In the dead of night, when all was silent, the little maid Yue Huan was struggling to drag a heavy bucket of waste outside to empty it.
With dozens of people in the Jiang household, the task of emptying the chamber pots was exhausting for her. As she trudged along, she couldn't help but grumble about how laborious and thankless this job was, and each time she thought about it, her heart sank further into despair.
Finally reaching the garden, she was about to pour the contents of the bucket onto the flowers when she suddenly caught sight of a man whose clothes were pulled down to his waist, wielding a long sword and dancing wildly under the moonlight.
The sword flashed brilliantly, its moves sharp and fierce. Yue Huan was momentarily stunned, her eyes widening in alarm as she shouted, “Who are you? What are you doing here? At this hour, you must be up to no good!”
“Little girl, don’t you recognize me? I—” The man began to speak.
Seeing the bare man approach step by step, Yue Huan's face turned pale with fear. Without thinking twice, she lifted the bucket and hurled it at him with all her might!
In an instant, a foul stench filled the air as waste splattered everywhere. The man was drenched in filth, and his eyes burned with fury.
Yue Huan dared not linger; she turned and ran as fast as if demons were chasing her.
Back in her room, she collapsed onto her bed with a thud, her chest heaving violently as panic coursed through her. She vowed never to venture out at night again!
The next day, the household was bustling with activity. The other maids in her dormitory were busy running around, and even Yue Huan was hurriedly called to help.
As she jogged along, she curiously asked, “What’s going on? Why is everyone so busy?”
The maid Bi Xi panted heavily and replied anxiously, “I heard that last night the young master collapsed in the garden reeking of filth; it seems he was quite startled.”
"A stench?" Yue Huan's brows furrowed instantly, and her heart sank. Could it be such a coincidence?
Before long, the doctor arrived to examine the young master and administer treatment. Yue Huan followed a few maids carrying a brazier into the room. She glanced casually, and in that moment, she was stunned. It turned out that the person from last night was actually the young master!
After leaving the room, Yue Huan's legs trembled uncontrollably. Bi Xi, noticing this, couldn't help but tease her, "Yue Huan, are you really that timid?"
"Am I timid?" Yue Huan retorted stubbornly, "You would be scared too if you were in my shoes!"
The entire day, Yue Huan was restless, her heart racing like a little rabbit. When Bi Xi returned from her break, she hurried over and anxiously asked, "How is the young master?"
Bi Xi's expression turned serious as she lowered her voice. "The doctor said the situation isn't optimistic."
From that day on, Yue Huan chased after Bi Xi every day to inquire about Jiang Duo's condition, prompting Bi Xi to joke with her, "When did you become so concerned about the young master?"
How could she not care? If something happened to him, she might lose her life! Bi Xi had no idea of her predicament, Yue Huan thought gloomily, and could only silently pray for Jiang Duo's safety.
One day, Bi Xi returned excitedly and shouted, "Huan Huan, the young master is looking for you!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Huan felt her legs go weak. There were several people following behind her; she had no chance to escape.
It was said that when Jiang Duo woke up, his first question was, "Is there a maid in the residence who smells terrible all the time?"
Everyone thought she had stumbled upon some good fortune, but only Yue Huan felt her heart pounding like a drum, thumping loudly in her chest.
Yue Huan was brought before Jiang Duo, who waved his hand to dismiss the others. With a half-smile, he asked, "Do you know who I am now?"
"Young Master, it's truly wonderful that you're alright!" she exclaimed, relieved that she wouldn't have to pay with her life.
A flattering smile plastered on her face, Yue Huan cautiously said, "I beg you to overlook my small transgressions and spare me, my lord."
"I remember how bold you were when you splashed dung on me," Jiang Duo teased, seemingly enjoying the moment.
"I was blind to your greatness," Yue Huan replied, thinking it best to admit her mistake at such a time. She lowered her head almost to the ground.
Nervously awaiting his next words, her eyes inadvertently drifted to his legs. "Huh?"
It was said that Jiang Duo, the young master of the Jiang family, had suffered an accident six months ago that left him disabled and unable to walk... Yet the person she saw that night moved with such agility! Shocked, Yue Huan pointed at him and stammered, "You... were faking it!"
Jiang Duo smiled coldly, a glint of cunning in his eyes. "Yue Huan, what do you think will happen if you let that slip?"
Yue Huan broke into a cold sweat, her voice trembling as she asked, "What do you want?"
"Let's get married," Jiang Duo suddenly declared.
