The Ma Family Manor

Chapter 7 • 1,335 words • 12 min read

Tomorrow, he’ll come to school! Despite saying that with certainty, Fang Yutian ultimately took a leave of absence and chose to visit Ma Guohao’s home.

Ma Family Estate.

Looking out, the entire estate was the Ma family’s residence, dozens of kilometers away from the school.

Even taking the bus would take quite a bit of time.

It’s a wonder how that guy managed to get to school on time every day.

He pressed the doorbell.

“Who is it? No guests today.”

“What do you mean, no guests? It’s me, Fang Yutian. Open the door.”

Silence came from the intercom, and then it hung up.

At this moment, a young woman in a maid outfit stood in front of the monitor, looking at Fang Yutian at the door with a panicked expression.

She pressed a button and dialed another video call.

“Master, there’s a problem.”

On the other window of the monitor, a middle-aged man with a weathered face appeared.

The sounds of gunfire and fighting could be heard from his end.

This was Ma Guohao’s father.

“Didn’t I say not to call unless it’s important? I told you to handle the outside matters for a while.”

“No, we have a guest.”

“I said the estate isn’t receiving guests today.”

“It’s the young master’s friend, Fang Yutian.”

“Then even more reason not to let him in. Don’t let him get caught in the danger,” the master said with a serious expression.

He knew very well that Ma Guohao didn’t bring many friends home, so he didn’t want him to be in harm’s way.

“Okay,” the maid said, and then the call was hung up on the other end.

She thought that if she left him alone, he would naturally leave.

The maid picked up a cup and took a sip of coffee.

On the other side of the screen, Fang Yutian kept pressing the doorbell.

The ringing kept sounding on the monitor, and the maid couldn’t help but turn off the doorbell line.

Ah, that should do it!

On the monitor, the maid put down her coffee cup and sat back down.

She had to make sure Fang Yutian left the estate.

This was definitely not slacking off, but rather ensuring that the young master’s precious friend wouldn’t be dragged into trouble and get bothered.

That’s right, this wasn’t laziness.

He pressed the doorbell several times, but there was still no response.

Standing at the door, Fang Yutian was a little unwilling to give up.

He put his finger on the doorbell button and clicked frantically.

The ding-dong sounds were incessant.

But in the end, it only made his finger a little sore.

Just as he was about to give up, a woman’s voice rang out from behind him, “Who are you? What are you doing?”

Fang Yutian turned around and saw a round-faced maid in a maid outfit, with a plump figure and a cute face.

“I’m Fang Yutian, Ma Guohao’s classmate. I saw that he didn’t come to school today, so I came to see what happened.

What’s wrong with that guy? Why didn’t he come to school?”

“Are you the young master’s friend? The young master isn’t feeling well and won’t be seeing anyone today.”

“Not even me?”

“I’m really very sorry. I’ll pass on any messages for you!”

“Then let him rest well. I’ll be going now.”

“Goodbye.”

The round-faced maid watched Fang Yutian slowly walk away.

She took out an ID card from her pocket and pressed it against the gate.

Then, the gate opened, and the maid entered the estate carrying large bags of vegetables and ingredients.

Although that’s what he said, there was no way Fang Yutian would give up after being told off with just a few words.

So, he had a new idea.

Since they weren’t accepting guests today, then wouldn’t it be fine to go in as the owner?

So, he decided to disguise himself as a maid and go in.

Thus, at the last moment when the round-faced maid was about to disappear from Fang Yutian’s sight, he used his psychic power to scan her whole body.

The round-faced maid only felt a chill down her back, but when she looked back, there was nothing, so she had no choice but to continue walking forward.

A slight blush appeared on Fang Yutian’s face.

“Forgive me, I’ll make it up to you later,” he thought, after scanning the round-faced maid’s entire body, inside and out, it was inevitable that he saw things he shouldn’t have while learning the specific structure of the maid outfit.

So, Fang Yutian looked at the camera at the door and then turned to leave.

At this time, the maid on the other side of the camera naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

After arranging for another maid to take over the monitoring room, she turned to leave.

After leaving, she carried a box of supplies and walked to a sunflower painting at the corner of the monitoring room.

She waited there for ten seconds, and then a series of vibrations and mechanical sounds rang out.

The painting was lifted up, and the wall deformed to open a passage leading to the underground.

Dust was scattered on the stairs.

Originally, in principle, cleaning every corner of the estate was the maid’s duty.

Even the underground floor that outsiders had never set foot in was a duty that the maids should handle.

But now, she, or rather, they, didn’t even have time to handle such duties.

The maids hadn’t rested all night, busying themselves with handling the work inside and outside the estate for their master.

They were overwhelmed and even had to ask outsiders for help.

Fortunately, the chaos and fighting hadn’t damaged the estate’s lines and energy.

On the surface, the estate could still maintain harmony and not cause panic.

The high heels made soft sounds on the solid alloy floor.

If it were normal times, it would be cleaned and reflective.

White LED light strips lit up on the ceiling.

The maid walked quickly in the underground passage.

Along the passage, after turning a few corners, she came to a password door.

However, the door wasn’t closed.

Inside were several girls, or rather, maids.

At this time, their maid outfits were tattered.

Some were lying on the beds, and some were leaning against the walls, but without exception, they were all injured.

“Sister Zhang, you’ve finally arrived,” seeing the maid carrying the supplies over, a short-haired girl wearing a sports bra and tight fiber pants rushed up, eyeing the supply box in the maid’s hands like a tiger watching its prey.

She still had some fragments of the maid outfit hanging on her body that she hadn’t torn off.

She also retained the sleeves on her arms, as if she thought that would be more handsome.

A chop to the head knocked the short-haired girl back a step, clutching her head in pain.

This movement, in turn, affected the wound on her abdomen, and blood spurted out from the bandage.

She quickly covered the wound on her abdomen with her left hand.

“Hey, what are you doing, Sister Zhang? I usually treat you like my own daughter. Is that how you treat your own mother?” the short-haired girl pressed hard on the wound on her abdomen, questioning Zhang Maid aggressively.

“I was just about to ask you what you’re doing. The storage conditions for the potions inside are very harsh.

What if you, a clumsy maid, drop them or bump them and they can’t be used? Hurry up and get away from here.”

Regarding the girl’s usual poor performance, although it was harmless, now was not the time to be lenient.

“What are you saying? I’m clearly also injured. I should be treated.”

“No, look, you’re the most energetic one here. You’re the last one to be treated.”

Besides, what if you accidentally break all the remaining potions if I treat you first?

Zhang Maid was quite troubled by this.
