Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 765 - 763

Chapter 765: Chapter 763

Mrs. Gu followed the maid out, she had to confirm if the accountant would drink the porridge. As she saw the maid heading towards the warehouse, she finally felt at ease.

Now all she had to do was wait until the accountant had finished the porridge, and then...

Fifteen minutes later, the accountant felt a rumble in his stomach. Seeing that the time was approaching, he decided to endure it a little longer, wait until the people from Prince An’s Mansion took away the dowry, and then he would relieve himself.

Miss’s dowry was extraordinarily valuable, Prince An had sent many rare and precious gifts. The master had instructed him to guard it thoroughly, and not allow even the slightest mistake. If anything was missing, he would bear full responsibility!

Oh my God! He glanced at the things in the warehouse and was practically blinded by their brilliance. If he lost even one item, selling him and his entire family wouldn’t be enough to compensate. He had been living on tenterhooks these days! Apart from going to the bathroom, he spent all day and night guarding the warehouse. He even slept there, for fear of accidents. He couldn’t afford to compensate for any losses!

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the accountant’s stomach felt like a sea of turbulence.

He couldn’t hold it any longer! Why hadn’t the wedding procession arrived yet?

...

Another fifteen minutes passed, and the accountant felt like he was about to explode. He tightly clutched his buttocks! He was really uncomfortable!

In the cold winter, he was sweating profusely from the pain. It really wasn’t pleasant!

Finally, the faint sound of the wedding procession could be heard in the distance.

They were finally here! If they were any later, he would have to ascend to heaven!

Mrs. Gu was hiding in the dark, watching the accountant suffer to the point of jumping on his feet, she had laughed until her stomach ached.

Now hearing the faint sounds of music, she hurriedly suppressed her laughter, found the maid, and gave her a few instructions.

The maid came to the door of the warehouse and said to the accountant:

"Mr. Du, the people sent by Prince An’s Mansion to carry the dowry have arrived. Remember to keep a sharp eye, don’t let any items from the warehouse be taken or lost. If anything goes wrong, Madam said she won’t let it slide!"

At this moment, the accountant’s stomach was tumultuous, it was like a thunderstorm at sea!

Oh no! It seemed like he couldn’t hold it any longer!

He held his buttocks and nodded in pain, "Don’t worry! I will definitely keep an eye on everything!"

The maid couldn’t help but ask when she saw him in such pain, "Mr. Du, what’s wrong with you?"

"I have a stomachache, and I can’t hold it any longer!" He really couldn’t bear it any longer!

"But, in your current state...Is it okay if you are seen by servants of Prince An’s Mansion like this? Won’t they laugh at our Du Mansion for lacking manners?" The maid imitated the accountant’s posture of clutching his buttocks and twisting his body in pain and asked.

When the accountant heard this, he also thought so! The young lady was married high above, the master had reminded him over and over again that although we are not as prestigious as Prince An’s Mansion, we must not be servile and fawning, this would cause the servants of the Wang Mansion to look down on us! Otherwise, it would be difficult for the young lady to convince everyone in the Wang Mansion in future!

But if he didn’t hold on, it would really come out!

That’s not going to work! He must solve his own problem first!

Xiao Yue was the maid of Du Yijin, and the only maid in the Du Mansion. Mrs. Gu was attended by her dowry maid, only that the maid had also been married and no longer considered a maid, but a woman. The accountant trusted Xiao Yue relatively more.

Ever since the young lady came to power at home, in order to increase income and save expenditure, the remaining servants at home had been sold. Each master kept one person to attend to them. In addition, there was a gatekeeper, cook, and he, the housekeeper and accountant, so there were no other servants. Apart from the "old woman" who served Mrs. Gu, the remaining servants were all loyal to the master and the young lady. The accountant hesitated for a while, took out the key to the warehouse and gave it to the maid, "Xiao Yue, you help me guard here. When the people from Prince An’s Mansion come, you open the door and let them carry away the dowry. You just stay on the side and watch. I’ll be back soon."

Seeing that his state was truly unseemly, Xiao Yue took the key, nodded and said, "Hurry up! It’s not appropriate for me, a maid, to stand guard here either!"

"Okay!" After the accountant agreed, he ran away quickly with his buttocks clenched.

Mrs. Gu watched from the dark as the accountant’s figure disappeared, she began to walk towards the warehouse while calling out, "Xiao Yue! Xiao Yue! ...."

Xiao Yue heard Mrs. Gu’s shout and responded, "Madam, I’m here."

Mrs. Gu walked up to her and scolded, "You silly girl, what are you still doing here? The wedding procession has arrived, hurry back to the young lady’s side, you are the dowry maid!"

Xiao Yue was a little confused when she heard this! Didn’t the Madam say earlier that there would be plenty of maids to attend to the young lady when she married into Prince An’s Mansion. But now there is only her as the maid in the mansion, she is not allowed to go as the dowry maid for the young lady?

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Gu guessed what she was thinking, "After thinking about it, I still feel that it is inconvenient for Yijin to not have her own servants after she marries. You should accompany her as dowry!"

As long as she could get a piece of the dowry, she could afford to buy ten more maids to come back. What use was there in keeping this maid whose heart is not on her side!

Xiao Yue was stunned again: When did Madam Gu’s mind not just include the people of the Gu surname? Why did she start thinking for the young lady today?!

"What are you still stunned for! Hurry up and change your clothes!" Mrs. Gu saw Xiao Yue’s incredulous face and became impatient.

"But I have to guard outside the warehouse!" Xiao Yue glanced in the direction the accountant had left, said anxiously.

"Where is Mr. Du! Where did he go at this time!" Mrs. Gu heard this, looked around, and said angrily.

"He went to relieve himself because of a stomachache." Xiao Yue bemusedly explained for the accountant.

"Lazy people poop and pee a lot! Hurry up and change your clothes, I’ll keep watch, don’t let our house be looked down upon, not even a maid to accompany the bride!"

Xiao Yue hesitated a bit.

"What? Are you afraid that I am going to steal something inside the warehouse! How long will it take for Mr. Du to relieve himself? He is likely on his way back now!"

"The slave dare not!" As soon as Xiao Yue heard this, she quickly said.

"Then why are you standing there still, do you not want to be a dowry maid?"

Of course, she wanted to! Xiao Yue thought, the dowry is all accounted for and there’s a list to check, the Madam wouldn’t dare sneak away something! Plus, based on the time, Mr. Du should be back soon, so she put the key in Mrs. Gu’s hands, "Madam, you keep watch here for now, Mr. Du will be back soon!"

"Don’t worry!" Mrs. Gu happily took the key.

Xiao Yue quickly ran back.

After Mrs. Gu saw Xiao Yue running away, she glanced around, and seeing no one, she quickly opened the door and went in, then closed the door.

Mrs. Gu was looking at the pile of dowry goods in front of her, and she was furious! So many things were given to that waste, ungrateful as a wolf, why?!

She didn’t dare to take the big items, like the coral and jade decorations, as they were too conspicuous, and one could tell at a glance if they were missing! And they were hard to hide too.

Mrs. Gu opened a beautifully crafted jewelry box, and her eyes lit up!

She quickly grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her bosom.

At this time, many footsteps could be heard outside.
