Chapter 58: Looking Into Her Worry
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Ye Xing was struck with disbelief.
In the Dark Pavillion, Master Jun had two assistants and four protectors, all of them first-class shadows. However, he didn't expect Master Jun to give a protector to young madam immediately.
Jun Mohan looked at Ye Xing and raised an eyebrow, "Ye Xing, did I spoil you too much recently?"
Ye Xing's body tensed as he lowered his head politely, "Master Jun, I'm wrong."
Jun Mohan glanced at Ye Xing and spoke indifferently, "Has my way of handling things recently seem strange to you?"
"Does Master Jun really like young madam so much?"
"Ye Xing, that's not something you need to think about."
Ye Xing realized that he said something wrong and at this moment, he felt like a thin layer of fog surrounded Master Jun, as if he was isolating everyone else from his own world; no one could look into his worries. Even so, Ye Xing made quite a few assumptions in his mind.
He thought that perhaps Master Jun and young madam were only married with an agreement, and they were only carrying out their responsibilities as a couple despite looking so loving and harmonious.
Of course, it was Ye Xing's guess. No one knew Master Jun's real thoughts towards young madam. If Master Jun treated someone with all his heart, that person won't be able to refuse him.
Ye Xing thought of the young madam's painful past experiences and worried for her. However, he boldly guessed that if young madam could make Master Jun love her deeply, then she would definitely be happy in the future because Master Jun had a powerful background and a powerful capability. He'd give his love the best of everything.
...
Jun Mohan seemed to sink into his own thoughts. He remained silent for a long time in his original posture.
Ye Xing watched Master Jun, who seemed isolated from everything, knowing that Master Jun was in a bad mood and so didn't dare to breathe loudly, let alone disturb him.
The study became colder and colder.
After a while, coldness disappeared and Jun Mohan spoke unsympathetically, "Fire the butler. Change all the maids too."
Ye Xing was shocked, "Master Jun, the butler worked here for ten years, and many have worked here for years. Are we going to fire them like this without a reason?"
Jun Mohan replied calmly, "Feng Sujin is my wife and they should address her as the young madam. That day she was hurt, it was obviously because the butler neglected her and didn't think it was a problem to continue to delay notifying me. If something happened to Feng Sujin, am I, Jun Mohan, unable to protect my wife?"
Jun Mohan's voice was very light, but chills shot up Ye Xing's spine. The arrangement he made today was already lenient. If something really happened to the young madam, Master Jun wouldn't have been so kind.
Ye Xing stopped hesitating and nodded seriously, "Master Jun, I'll arrange it immediately."
When there was only Jun Mohan left in the study, he rubbed his forehead tiredly as he was, in fact, exhausted. But he couldn't stop, there were many things he still needed to do and Beiquan City was only his second beginning.
...
Ye Xing assembled the butler and all the maids together, notifying them of Master Jun's decision.
Seeing that they were all going to be fired, their expressions became dark.
"Assistant Ye Xing, did we do something wrong to be fired?"
"Exactly! We've worked hard, you should at least give us a reason for firing us!"
"Assistant Ye Xing, did you get what Master Jun meant wrong?"
