"Don't kill me..."
"Shh!"
Chen Yi covered the mouths of the two "thieves" and shushed them.
After they got the hint and stopped shouting, he then pointed at the courtyard and pretended to intimidate them:
"If you wake the people inside, you will die, understand?"
"Mhm mhm."
The two maids nodded repeatedly, both looking terrified and covering their mouths.
"Come with me."
After speaking, Chen Yi led them to the kitchen in the small courtyard and placed a plate of steamed buns in front of them.
"Names?"
Seeing he didn't look like he was about to kill anyone, one of the girls, who seemed braver, glanced at the steamed buns and said while swallowing her saliva:
"Hua Youxiang, you can also call me by my nickname, Er Hua."
"Hua Yourong."
The shy girl hiding behind her hesitantly poked her head out and added, "Nick, nickname, San Hua."
Hua Youxiang, Hua Yourong, Er Hua San Hua?
