"Ding~ Ding~" A crisp sound from the collision of porcelain came from Yuechan's room, and there was also a strange sound mixed with it. It sounded familiar, but Li Xiu was not sure. He walked to Yuechan's window curiously and looked in, but the strange situation inside scared him.

I saw a dim oil lamp in Yuechan's room. Under the oil lamp was a table filled with various meals, many of which were leftovers for tonight. Yuechan sat behind the table, and her hands kept delivering the dishes on the table to her mouth. She swallowed them without chewing them. The expression on her face was calm and a little painful. She actually looked a little hideous under the light and dark light. She suddenly looked really scary, as if Yuechan was possessed by some evil ghost.

Li Xiu saw Yuechan keep delivering things to his mouth like a starving ghost, not at all as gentle and virtuous as usual, which surprised him, and even doubted whether she was possessed by evil spirits. But in the end he was worried that Yuechan would make him lose herself by eating like this, so he spoke loudly: "Yuechan! What are you doing?"

When he heard the sound outside the window, Yuechan, who was eating Haisai, was frightened and shivered. Then he jumped up like a conditioned reflex and bent down and blew out the oil lamp. However, when Li Xiu outside the window saw her reaction so quickly, he finally confirmed that she was not possessed. He snorted coldly and said, "Light the oil lamp, I have seen everything I should see!"

Yuechan has always been very well-behaved and obedient in front of Li Xiu, so in the darkness, she was silent for a moment and finally lit up the oil lamp again. She was standing by the table with her hands down, lowering her head and did not dare to look at Li Xiu at all. Her hands were also tugged together, looking like a child who had made a mistake.

Li Xiu strode into the room and looked at the food on the table before he found that not only had his own leftovers, but also brought the leftovers from the four maids in the front yard, because many of these dishes were night fish, including the sweet and sour fish he had not finished and the cooked fish from the maids in the front yard.

"Yuechan, what are you doing? Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night and eat leftovers in the room by yourself?" Li Xiu asked in a deep voice. Yuechan's appearance just now was so scary. Fortunately, Liu'er was on Qi Niang's side, otherwise, with her always timid behavior, she would have to be frightened when she saw Yuechan's appearance.

"I..." Yuechan raised her greasy little face and seemed to want to explain, but she suddenly stopped after saying a word, then continued to lower her head and remained silent. Then a "bang~bang~" sounded, and a series of tears dripped from her little face, as if she was very aggrieved.

Looking at Yue Chan who only shed tears and didn't speak, Li Xiu suddenly understood something, and couldn't help but sigh suddenly, and asked in a gentle tone: "Yue Chan, are you scared?"

This time, Yuechan finally reacted. After listening to Li Xiu's words for a while, she suddenly nodded gently.

"You are afraid because you met the King of Qi in Xishi the day before yesterday. He praised you for your beauty, right?" Li Xiu continued to ask, and Yue Chan nodded again, but tears were even more severe at this time.

"Silly girl! There is no need to use this method to harm yourself!" Li Xiu couldn't help but touch Yue Chan's little head with some heartache and said, "Girls in later generations tried hard to lose weight in order to become beautiful, but Yue Chan tried hard to eat in order to become ugly. And Li Xiu was sure that it was definitely not the first time Yue Chan used this method.

Hearing Li Xiu's concerned tone, Yuechan cried even harder, and Li Xiu did not express any comfort. After all, she felt aggrieved in her heart. It is a good thing to be able to vent it with tears now. If you keep it in your heart, maybe you will have problems.

Yuechan cried for a while, and finally she slowly stopped her tears. At this time, Li Xiu asked again: "Does your stomach swell after eating so much?"

Yuechan shook her head suddenly, but then she nodded gently, and her face showed a look of embarrassment. In fact, she had started eating secretly to gain weight since last night, but she had been able to make herself feel overwhelmed. As soon as she recovered today, she started eating hard again, even though she felt uncomfortable in her stomach.

"Silly girl, don't do this again in the future. With the master here, you don't have to worry about anything!" Li Xiu patted Yuechan's little head with pity again, and then ordered with a gentle face, "Please clean up the things on the table, and you can move and then sleep, so as not to feel uncomfortable in your stomach!"

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Yuechan immediately nodded obediently and began to clean up the leftovers on the table. Now the weather is hot, and these leftovers will change after they are left overnight. So these are meant to be dumped and given to Liu and the others for pigs. Yuechan doesn't have to worry about being discovered when eating these leftovers.

Li Xiu watched Yuechan clean up the leftovers and asked her to wash the greasy face. Then he nodded with satisfaction, and then let her sleep peacefully, stop thinking about it, and then he then took a step back to rest.

But at this moment, Yuechan suddenly grabbed his arm, lowered her head and said softly with a red face: "Master, I can't sleep, I want to talk to you!"

"Haha, I probably can't sleep when I was scared by you in the middle of the night. It just so happened that the moonlight was good today. Let's sit in the pavilion in the yard and sit down!" Li Xiu smiled when he heard this. Yue Chan's mind was much heavier than the simple Liu'er. She would rather hold some things in her heart than say them. It was rare to take the initiative to chat with her today, so Li Xiu agreed immediately.

One by one, one after another, they went to the pavilion in the yard. The moonlight fell like water, and everything in the world was covered with a layer of silver. Yue Chan was silent for a moment after coming in and said, "Master, I actually..."

Before Yuechan finished speaking, Li Xiu interrupted her with a smile and said, "Yuechan, no matter what your identity was before, these have nothing to do with me. Now I only know that you are my personal maid, and you are the new female housekeeper in our Li family. Master, I believe you can help me manage this family!"

From Li Xiu's words, Yuechan heard that he might have seen that he was not an ordinary palace maid, but he had never asked about this, nor did he doubt her because of this. This made Yuechan feel tears in her eyes. After a while, she nodded heavily and said, "Thank you for your trust, Yuechan will be your maid for the rest of her life!"

"That won't work. Yuechan, you will get married sooner or later, including Liu'er!" Li Xiu smiled when he heard Yuechan's words. He didn't plan to tie Yuechan to his side for the rest of his life.

"I... I don't want to get married!" Yuechan heard this and said in a low voice. After saying that, she felt shy for no reason, her face turned red, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Li Xiu again.

Looking at Yue Chan's shy look, Li Xiu suddenly felt very interesting. He reached out and raised her chin, looked at Yue Chan's delicate facial features and smiled: "It would be a pity for a pretty little girl to become a big fat man."

Yuechan was frightened by Li Xiu's intimate and frivolous behavior and closed her eyes. Her heart kept bumping like a deer, and her face turned red as if it was about to drip out of water. Especially when she heard Li Xiu praise her for her beauty, her mind was even blank, and her body was floating in the clouds. She didn't know where she was for a moment.

Li Xiu didn't think so much, but he felt very interesting when he saw Yue Chan's shy appearance. As for Yue Chan's original identity, he had already guessed that an ordinary Nanliang palace maid would not read so many books, and her usual words and deeds were different from those of ordinary women, especially when she had dinner with Liu'er, she could see the difference at a glance. These behaviors and etiquettes were the result of childhood education, and they were deeply rooted in Yue Chan's bones. She couldn't change them even if she wanted to.

However, no matter what Yuechan is, Li Xiu did not plan to pursue it. After all, even if he knew it, what if he knew it? Nanliang has been destroyed. What can Yuechan do, a weak woman? I am afraid that for her, struggling to survive is the most important thing, so it is better to think that Li Xiu just treats her as an ordinary little maid, and Yuechan will not feel any pressure, which is good for everyone.

Yuechan was shy for a long time, and suddenly thought of something. Her face turned pale and she said to Li Xiu in panic: "Master, I have something I must tell you. Someone may have recognized me!"

"Someone knows you, who is this person?" Li Xiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. If the person who recognized Yue Chan's identity reported to the court, then this matter would be troublesome.

"Cen Wenben! He used to be the Minister of the Secretariat when he was in Liang State and was responsible for drafting proclamations. He often had the opportunity to enter the palace. I had met him a few times. When I was buying people in the West Market the day before yesterday, I accidentally ran into him, so I seemed so nervous at that time. Later, I found out that he didn't follow him and thought he didn't recognize me, but when he came back, he appeared near our house again, so I was worried that he might have recognized me!" Yuechan said anxiously. If her identity was leaked, Li Xiu would probably be implicated.

"It turned out to be him, no wonder he suddenly appeared nearby that day." Li Xiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. For Cen Wenben, he knew that this person was a famous minister in Zhenguan, but he didn't know that he was an old minister of Nanliang. What's worse is that he didn't know how his character and behavior were. Will he report Yue Chan to the court?

If Cen Wenben really reports, Li Xiu is not afraid. After all, Yuechan was originally given to him by Li Yuan himself. As long as he bites him to death, he will be fine without knowing it. However, Yuechan will not be able to escape and die by then, which he cannot tolerate no matter what! (To be continued.)
