Chapter 360: The Two Beauties
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the carriage gradually slowed down, the individuals dispatched by the governor managed to catch up with them.
The man on horseback explained his purpose and handed Su Bin a letter from the governor, which indeed echoed the content of the secret letter Su Bin had received.
The letter expressed the governor’s sympathy for Su Bin and noted that he and Qin Zhenzhen did not even have maids to attend to them. Thus, he had thoughtfully chosen two capable maids to present to them. These two maids were traveling in the carriage behind.
The letter, however, also conveyed a subtle message, comprehensible to all men.
These two maids were not only exceptionally beautiful but could also serve as personal attendants. In ancient times, a man’s personal maid was akin to a concubine maid.
After a brief while, the carriage behind caught up.
In accordance with protocol, Su Bin maintained an outward show of respect for the governor. He exchanged a few pleasantries with the governor’s representative, primarily expressing grat.i.tude for the governor’s generosity.
Subsequently, two stunningly attired women alighted from the carriage and approached them.
Qin Zhenzhen drew back the curtains and couldn’t help but mutter under her breath. What kind of maids were these? They were clearly two alluring women who had undergone specialized training!
Regrettably for them, Su Bin had no interest in their type.
The two women stood beside Su Bin.
One of them sweetly curtsied to Su Bin. “Young Master Su, I am Tang Yingying, and I am wholeheartedly at your service from this day forward.”
The other woman followed suit. “Young Master Su, I am Tang Cuicui, and I pledge to serve you to the best of my abilities.”
Qin Zhenzhen observed the scene with amus.e.m.e.nt. It appeared that they had eyes only for Su Bin and paid no attention to her whatsoever.
Su Bin addressed the two men who had escorted the maids, saying, “Kindly extend my sincere appreciation to the governor for his benevolence. Inform him of my profound grat.i.tude.”
As the provincial governor, once he extended an invitation to the new High Scholars, they all effectively became his students, and Su Bin was no exception.
Since the carriage that had brought the two women belonged to the governor’s residence, it was only natural for them to return in the same carriage.
Given that the two secret guards could not suddenly become invisible and were thus incapable of transporting the two women on a horse, the women were left with no alternative but to share the carriage with Qin Zhenzhen and the others.
Once the governor’s carriage had departed, Su Bin pivoted and entered the carriage.
Tang Yingying, who had been following closely behind, addressed him sweetly, “Young Master, I’m having difficulty getting up. Could you a.s.sist me…’
Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning exchanged a cold glance.
This was the first time Qin Zhenzhen had witnessed a woman employing such coquettish behavior toward a man. So, this was how it was done.
Pretending not to hear, Su Bin occupied a seat beside Qin Zhenzhen.
Tang Yingying appeared somewhat forlorn and made her plea once more, “Young Master, I…”
Su Ning could no longer endure it and stood up. “Enough with the act! Get up here quickly, or we’ll leave you behind!” Tang Yingying attempted to negotiate further. “Young Master…”
Qin Zhenzhen gazed at them icily.
“Did the governor send you here to serve Master, or do you expect Master to serve you?”
Tang Yingying’s face flushed, and her voice retained its sweetness. “I understand that my purpose here is to serve Young Master, but this carriage is rather high…”
Su Ning reprimanded, “You can’t even board such a low carriage, and you aspire to serve others?”
“I’ll repeat it. If you don’t get in, you’ll have to chase after the carriage!” Su Ning was on the verge of shutting the carriage door.
Tang Cuicui grew slightly anxious, fearing that she might genuinely be left behind. She took a couple of steps forward, poised to board.
However, Tang Yingying, unyielding in her resolve, seized Tang Cuicui’s arm.. “Quit trying to show off!”
