Chapter 9: Misunderstanding
When the young master stepped into the kitchen, he saw the little figure reaching towards the small plate on the countertop.
It was his cookies!
"That's my cookies."
Bei Sangyun was taken aback by the voice behind her that the small plate she was holding over her head slipped off her fingers.
The plate shattered and the cookies fell to the ground.
Bei Sangyun's eyes turned wide and hurriedly took the fallen cookies. She hadn't tasted them yet!
But as she reached towards the cookies, her sight fell to the broken small plate. She turned pale. She broke a precious plate! How much was this?!
"Don't touch it!"
The boy yelled.
Bei Sangyun's hand paused.
She looked up and saw a handsome boy who was covered in thick clothes. She suddenly remembered the words of the villagers, 'Like an angel, fair and beautiful,'
This must be the young master.
Bei Sangyun turned even paler. She stood up and said apologetically, "I didn't mean to break the plate."
The boy eyed her feet, "Get out."
Bei Sangyun felt like crying. She wanted to apologize for her mistake but the young master did not want to hear it. If the young master becomes angry at her, she might not be allowed to attend the feast.@@@@
Several footsteps sounded. They heard the yelling from the kitchen.
Grandma Pei came in and saw the broken plates between them. "Oh, my! What happened?!"
She went to the boy's side and checked him from head to toe, "Young Master, are you fine?"
The boy pointed at Bei Sangyun, "She stole the cookies, broke the plates and now she is lying."
Bei Sangyun heard the accusation again. She wanted to explain and stepped forward with teary eyes. "I am not lying! I just got hungry and..."
Grandma Pei saw that Bei Sangyun had no slippers and the broken shards were lying around. She was afraid that the child would accidentally step on it so she gestured towards Mrs. Bang.
"Get her out of here first."
Mrs. Bang carried Bei Sangyun. Bei Sangyun was thin so it was easy to carry her.
Bei Sangyun was carried away. She glanced at Grandma Pei and the boy who was left in the kitchen. She hugged Mrs. Bang's neck and her tears fell.
She felt so bad being accused. She wasn't able to properly explain herself. She felt wronged and sad at the same time.
Was this why her grandma always said to not accept food easily? Was it because bad things would happen if she accept food from others?
Bei Sangyun thought about the plate again. She wasn't able to eat the cookies and she still had to pay for the broken plate. She felt crying again.
When Bei Sangyun came out together with Mrs. Bang, she saw her grandma who was peeking curiously at the gate.
Mrs. Bang wanted to ask what happened after she put Bei Sangyun down, but Bei Sangyun immediately dash out towards Grandma Bei.
"Grandma!" Bei Sangyun called out so pitifully.
Seeing Bei Sangyun crying, Grandma Bei became worried. Bei Sangyun rarely cried. Did her sickness relapse again?
