Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Scapegoat Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Scapegoat So when their young master instructed him to prepare afternoon tea for Miss Mu, he was certain.
The young master was deliberately slighting the Zhou Family.
It was said that the young master had gone to the Zhou Family on that day to bring Miss Mu back.
If that was truly the case, then Miss Mu must have been under the care and favor of the Zhou Family before!
Logically speaking, their young master shouldn’t bear any hostility towards the Zhou Family.
Unless the Zhou Family had slighted Miss Mu.
Given the young master’s attitude towards the Zhou Family, this was highly likely.
Thinking this, the butler understood what he must do.
Since the Zhou Family dared to slight Miss Mu, they naturally deserved to be treated with the same disrespect.
He first visited the kitchen, personally supervising the preparation of milk tea for Miss Mu, baking a cake, and cutting fruit.
Afterwards, he personally led the staff to deliver it to Miss Mu in Ji Luochen’s study.
Only after everything was taken care of did he go to meet Zhou Yuncheng.
“I apologize, Mr. Zhou, I’m truly sorry for keeping you waiting so long to report the situation,” the butler began apologetically, “When I entered earlier, I happened to encounter Miss Mu wanting to have her afternoon tea. You might not be aware, but Miss Mu is someone our young master cherishes deeply, so I had no choice but to personally go to the kitchen and supervise the making of her milk tea and cake before rushing back here.”
Zhou Yuncheng frowned, feeling neglected ever since they had arrived at the Fu Family home.
Although the household had said and done what was expected of them, it still left him feeling slighted.
Like the butler, who, despite speaking to him respectfully,
had actually made him wait for such a long time.
If the butler had not mentioned that the delay was to prepare afternoon tea for Lingyun, he might have felt better about it.
But now that the butler had mentioned it, he was very angry.
However, Lingyun was precisely the person he had sought out to ingratiate himself with.
He had no other recourse.
So, Zhou Yuncheng could only manage a conciliatory smile, “It’s alright, naturally Miss Mu’s afternoon tea is of greater importance. I just don’t know, when might Miss Mu be able to see us?”
The butler smiled warmly, “As I mentioned just now, Miss Mu is still enjoying her afternoon tea. If you gentlemen don’t have any pressing matters, I would ask you to wait a little longer. I will also look for the right moment to remind Miss Mu. Mr. Zhou may not be aware, but our young master really holds Miss Mu dear, I dare not urge her too hastily.”
Although Zhou Yuncheng was displeased, he still forced a smile, “Then we’ll have to trouble you.”
“Mr. Zhou is too polite,” the butler said before leaving.
