<h4>25 Stealing a Maiden Hear</h4>


    Jun Hua stared at Lin Tang. "Am I not allowed?"


    "Of course you can," Lin Tang smiled. "But you cannot loiter around her quarters for long."


    "Naturally," Jun Hua knew that in Lin family residence, they have their own quarters, not just a room like the one from Jun family. This estate was far bigger than the Jun family since the Jun family only had three people staying and the rest were servants.


    These quarters were simr to a small house. It was a ce where a person could live most of his life. It was treated as a kind of a personal space and only family members could get in. For an unmarried woman, the only men who were allowed to get in were their father and siblings (with the exception of doctors). But still, they were restricted to the living room.


    Jun Hua looked at Yamin and nodded.


    Yamin smiled sweetly and turned towards Chun Maora. "Mother, please."


    Chun Maora didn''t want to personally guide Jun Hua, but seeing that Jun Min wanted toe along, she changed her mind. Although Jun Min was of low-birth, he was an aplished general and held a prestigious status within the military. They''d never know when their country would be in war, so a general was highly respected.


    "Come, I will show you the way."


    Chun Maora was relieved that she listened to Lin Tang to provide a good ce for Jun Hua. Originally, she didn''t want to, but finally gave in after seeing that Lin Yuan was still in a daze when she met her. It seemed that Jun Min was indeed someone highly remarkable.


    Seeing the boy now, even Chun Maora was feeling slightly jealous. If only someone like him appeared during her youth, she would have chosen to chase after that boy and not an official like Lin Tang. Of course, that''s just her wishful thinking.


    Lin Yuan and the little boy went back first soon after they greeted Jun Hua. They were only concubine born, so it was not really proper for them to show up. Lin San and Lin Hong stayed behind Chun Maora and followed after her. Lin San wanted to get a chance to meet personally with Jun Min, while Lin Hong wanted to keep his sister from doing anything foolish.


    Chun Maora guided them towards the stone path. Jun Hua looked around calmly. Even though she was curious about the ce she spent part of her childhood in, she could not make exaggerate moves and only subtly looked around.


    Lin family residence was quite beautiful. There were several nts nted on the side and a few decorations were hanging around. All in all, it was quite artistic and gave off a refreshing feeling. As a general, Jun Hua''s senses were far more sensitive. At such, she could faintly feel that behind this fa?ade, there were unmentionable things happening that were hidden from the world.


    The quarters that Chun Maora prepared for Jun Hua was not too big, but was good enough. There were a few rooms inside and the servants were busy moving Jun Hua''s belongings inside. They didn''t dare to decorate the rooms by themselves as it was up to Jun Hua how she wanted the rooms to look like.


    Jun Hua scanned the rooms briefly, and looked at the few girls there.


    "They are?"


    "I have picked some servants for your sister. If you find them to your liking, I will hand their contract to your sister."


    Yamin who acted as Jun Hua, lowered her head and pretended to not exist. She convincingly portrayed a timid girl who could not decide by herself.


    Jun Hua stared at the servant girls. She found them annoying.


    "I don''t like them. Later, I will personally pick some servants for my sister."


    Chun Maora lips jerked a bit. She just found out that this young man waspletely overprotective. But it''s alright,ter she would try to get into his good side through Jun Hua.


    "You can go inside and start decorating your room. I will take a stroll and head out first," Jun Hua turned towards Yamin.


    Yamin nodded. "Yes big brother."


    Jun Hua patted Yamin''s hand before leaving with Chun Maora. Lin San and Lin Hong were still following after them with their heads slightly lowered. Lin San had seen how Jun Min cared greatly for Jun Hua and she somehow felt a little jealous. Even her brother wasn''t as protective as him.


    Yamin waited until everyone had left the quarters until there were only her and Xia inside.


    "Miss told me to make it simr to her room, let''s get moving."


    Xia nodded. "Thatst code?"


    "It means she wille here tonight to switch our ces."


    "That''s good."


    Jun Hua walked with Chun Maora heading to Lin Tang''s ce. If she wanted to leave, it was better to say it to Lin Tang first as a way to show respect. While they were walking, Jun Hua''s eyes spotted something interesting.


    "There is also a servant at such a small age?"


    Chun Maora looked over the direction Jun Hua was pointing at. There was a servant girl around the age of 12 trying to drag a bucket of water. Chun Maora remembered her as one of the old servant''s daughters who asked to have her daughter serve here. She only gave her permission because that servant kept on pestering her. She couldn''t kick her out that it had be really annoying, so she reluctantly agreed.


    "We don''t usually ept someone young, but she has some special condition."


    Jun Hua stared at the girl for a moment. "Can I ask for her to serve my sister? That is, if you can move her contract."


    "Sure, of course."


    After getting Chun Maora''s agreement, Jun Hua continued walking. It didn''t take long before she arrived at Lin Tang ce.


    "You''re leaving?" Lin Tang asked.


    "I still need to go to the border tomorrow, so I won''t take much of your time."


    "It''s alright. You''re free toe here whenever you want to."


    Jun Hua bid her farewell. When she was about to walk past Lin San, the girl raised her head and looked at Jun Hua''s face. Jun Hua was startled, but then she gave her an indifferent smile. That one smile had instantly stolen the girl''s heart.
