Chapter 581: Yuan Kui

Under the night sky, outside the study in the front residence of the Minister's manor.

After dismissing the Tiger Bravery Army, Yuan Shu was leading the Minister's manor's house generals to escort Ma Yuanyi toward Yuan Kui's study.

Lanterns were hung all around the distant corridors.

Yuan Shu, wearing armor, walked in front with a triumphant gait.

Two maids carrying lanterns led the way for Yuan Shu.

Just as Yuan Shu and Ma Yuanyi were about to arrive in front of the study,

suddenly, one of the maids leading the way cried out and fell to the ground.

Yuan Shu, who was walking, was almost tripped.

"How are you walking? Are you blind?" Yuan Shu lowered his head and scolded.

The maid knelt to the side, finally looked up, gave Yuan Shu a pitiful look, and immediately lowered her head to admit her mistake.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Young Master. This servant knows she was wrong, this servant knows she was wrong..."

"Oh?"

Yuan Shu gave a light exclamation, then raised his eyebrows.

"Look up," Yuan Shu said.

Hong Chan, kneeling on the ground, looked up, but her eyes remained lowered.

"Oh, you're quite pretty. Why does it seem like I've seen you somewhere before?" Yuan Shu asked suddenly.

"Answering... answering the Young Master, I saw the Young Master once in the main hall at noon," Hong Chan replied timidly.

"Oh, oh, oh, that's what I thought."

Yuan Shu nodded while bending down, then reached out to hook Hong Chan's chin.

By the light of the lanterns, after seeing Hong Chan's appearance clearly, the smile on his face grew even wider.

"Not bad, not bad. You are indeed quite pretty. It's a pity to be a lowly maid."

"How about this: go tell the steward that I have taken a fancy to you, and tomorrow you will go to my manor."

Yuan Shu let go and said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master." After getting up, Hong Chan hurriedly saluted and said: "It's just... it's just that this servant is clumsy and fears I won't be able to serve the Young Master well."

"You have a sweet mouth, too. Not bad, I like it." Yuan Shu reached out and touched Hong Chan's face: "Go on, come to my manor tomorrow."

After finishing, Yuan Shu strode toward Yuan Kui's study.

Looking at the study's gate and the guards standing around it, Hong Chan turned back, carrying her lantern.

Just as Hong Chan turned back and walked a few steps, a young attendant found her.

"You maid, where did you run off to? The head steward is still looking for you and is already furious. If you don't go now, you'll have a hard time tomorrow." The attendant looked at Hong Chan with a frown.

Hong Chan nodded and said: "This servant will go right now."

"Hurry up, the head steward told me to bring you over."

After speaking, the attendant walked in front of Hong Chan to lead the way.

Before long, under the attendant's guidance, Hong Chan arrived at the gatehouse where the head steward lived.

*Knock, knock, knock. *

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.

"Come in."

The head steward's voice sounded from inside.

Hong Chan carried her lantern and walked into the head steward's room.

At this moment, the head steward was already lying on his side on a couch, and a maid was pounding his legs for him. ===== CHAPTER 583 =====
