Chapter 1688: Chapter 1691: Encountering a Psycho
She saw Jin Luoyin hesitate slightly and said, “So, you’re the new night maid for Master Jian?”
“Ah? Yes, I am!”
“Oh, Master Jian asked to bring you these spare clothes.”
Jin Luoyin didn’t plan on staying here long, so these clothes naturally didn’t an much to her.
She casually put them aside and said thank you to the visitor.
The maid hesitated to speak, thinking that since no one was around, she might as well lower her voice and carefully say to Jin Luoyin, “Be cautious, you look quite young; it’d be a pity if sothing happens to you!”
“Hmm?” Jin Luoyin felt a chill in her heart and asked, “What could happen?”
The maid said, “Being Master Jian’s night maid isn’t easy. Although the pay is higher, it’s also dangerous. Just three days ago, Master Jian’s night maid died!”
“What?” A threat to life?
“Dear sister, I’m new here and don’t understand the rules. Could you please tell what’s going on?”
Seeing the young Jin Luoyin, the maid’s heart ached slightly, and she murmured, “Your predecessor was Yingchun, who was also exceptionally pretty, gentle by nature, and kind-hearted. Such a wonderful girl, but still didn’t suit Master Jian, sigh! Being a night maid, you’re failing your duty if you can’t serve even the master. She was then killed by Master Jian with a single slap!”
Jin Luoyin broke into a cold sweat as she listened, hardly able to imagine that the man from last night would really kill soone.
And kill his own maid.
She felt she might have encountered a psychopath, her tongue tied, and asked, “Could you explain more, what exactly went wrong in serving the master?”
Originally, she was thinking that since the Young Master of Tianhai Mountain Villa was hosting such a grand coming-of-age ceremony, there should be plenty of people around. Perhaps she could take the opportunity to try her luck and find clues about her brother.
But if her new master was soone who could kill at any mont, given his extraordinary combat skills, she thought it wise to escape first, as the saying goes, ‘live to fight another day.’
Finding her brother was certainly important, but there was no need to risk her own life.
“Could it be that you’re entirely clueless?” The maid looked at Jin Luoyin in surprise.
Jin Luoyin nodded and said, “I was caught by Master Jian last night, I really don’t know anything!”
A flash of understanding appeared in the maid’s eyes, and she said, “Do you know what a night maid is?”
“Yes, it’s a maid who guards at night, who the master can call on anyti if needed in the middle of the night!”
The Ningwang Residence didn’t have night maids, her parents didn’t need them, though she had a wet nurse and a personal maid guarding her in her childhood, but as she grew up, the night maid was no more.
Still, she knew the basic role of a night maid.
But she didn’t expect the maid to look at her with sympathy, clicking her tongue twice, saying, “If it’s a lady’s night maid, there’s no problem. But for the young masters, it’s just like being a bedmaid; whatever the master asks, you have to do it.
Being Master Jian’s night maid is dangerous because you have to satisfy his special preferences, and those who don’t do well are killed by him. The owner is anxious about it because seven or eight have already died, none of them defiled!”
Jin Luoyin looked in surprise at this maid, who seed in her twenties. To be a maid at her age she must be a head maid, right?
Piecing together her explanation, Jin Luoyin finally understood the peculiar nature of her job.
