After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 61

Yun Dan had just gotten up not long ago when she heard someone knocking at her door.

When she opened the door, she saw two young maidservants standing outside, smiling at her warmly.

“Miss Yun, you’re awake. The old manor lord would like to invite you over for a chat.”

Yun Dan frowned, wondering what Dongfang Jue wanted with her.

There didn’t seem to be any connection between them. In the entire manor, the only people she was relatively familiar with so far were Dongfang Wuchen and later, Young Master Luoyue.

Yan Ke had told her before that if he wasn’t in the manor, she could go find Dongfang Wuchen.

But Yun Dan had never been told who she should go to if the old manor lord summoned her!

Besides, the people were already directly at her door, so she had no way to decline.

After thinking it over, Yun Dan could only bite the bullet and follow the two maidservants.

“Alright then, please lead the way, two elder sisters.”

Although Yun Dan agreed to go and followed behind the two maidservants, her heart was still full of doubts.

She wondered if this was another scheme by Mulan to mess with her.

If Mulan really hadn’t given up and had found other ways to target her, Yun Dan didn’t know what she would do.

After following the two around in a big circle, they brought Yun Dan to a courtyard at noon. The courtyard didn’t look like Mulan’s.

But this alone wasn’t enough to dispel Yun Dan’s suspicions.

Just as Yun Dan was wondering whether this matter was suspicious, a door not far away opened.

The person standing at the door was none other than Dongfang Jue!

Seeing Dongfang Jue, Yun Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this person was at least the former alliance leader and also the male master of this manor. He shouldn’t stoop to the same dirty tricks as Mulan, right?

“Manor Lord Dongfang, is there something you need from me?”

Dongfang Jue pointed to a pavilion not far away and said, “Nothing much. You’ve been at the manor for some time now, and I just happened to have some free time, so I thought I’d come chat with you properly. Don’t be too nervous though, it’s just casual conversation. Let’s go chat over there.”

Yun Dan wasn’t as calm as she appeared on the surface. When things are abnormal, there must be a reason.

Logically speaking, what would the male master of this manor have to chat about with her? Surely he wasn’t going to discuss his son’s lifelong happiness.

When the time came, she would have to make it clear that she had absolutely no thoughts about Dongfang Wuchen.

If she still felt somewhat moved by Yan Ke or Xiao Yueqing, then she felt nothing at all for Dongfang Wuchen – she just thought he was a decent friend.

After the two reached the pavilion, Yun Dan sat down, but facing Dongfang Jue, she still felt somewhat constrained and alert.

As they say, the same bed doesn’t produce two different types of people.

Since Mulan was that kind of person, Dongfang Jue must have some abnormalities too, just that he hadn’t shown them yet.

“What matter did the manor lord have someone call me over for?”

Dongfang Jue just smiled and said, “After all, you’re a guest that Wuchen brought back to the manor. During this time, the manor has been dealing with other matters, so we’ve neglected your presence.

Our Mingyue Manor has always been very hospitable, and Wuchen has also mentioned your background, so I’m chatting with you today to ask – are you comfortable staying at the manor?”

The more Yun Dan listened, the more absurd it seemed. She felt that this person must be planning something bad.

“Thank you for the manor lord’s concern. I feel quite happy staying at the manor.”

On this point, Yun Dan wasn’t deceiving Dongfang Jue.

Her days at Mingyue Manor had actually been quite relaxing.

Of course, if she didn’t remember that she still had things to do, she would quite like the life here.

But Dongfang Jue’s tone and the way he looked at her didn’t feel like casual conversation with a guest – it was more like he was here to negotiate something.

Sure enough, after hearing Yun Dan’s answer, Dongfang Jue just nodded, then asked her, “Speaking of which, Young Master Luoyue is also a distinguished guest of mine. He has a rather difficult temperament and keeps strangers at a distance, so I don’t dare send other people to serve him.

I know this matter might be too much trouble for you, Miss Yun Dan, since you’re not a maidservant of my manor either. But as part of our hospitality, we naturally need to arrange these matters properly, so I hope you can help out a bit.”

Well now, Yun Dan understood – he was playing matchmaker!

All that talk about chatting about how life at the manor was going was actually matchmaking, wanting her to go earn Yan Ke’s favor!

This made Yun Dan even more curious.

She wondered what bad scheme this old fox was plotting, and why he would have her go help Yan Ke and act as a so-called maidservant.

According to what he just said, he knew she wasn’t a maidservant of Mingyue Manor, hadn’t signed any indenture contract, and had been brought into the manor by Dongfang Wuchen.

Although her status wasn’t high, she was still considered a guest in any case.

Given this, the only guess was probably that he had some ulterior motives regarding Young Master Luoyue.

It was just that no one could get close to Yan Ke, and his subordinates must have discovered that she was close to Yan Ke, so he set his sights on her.

Before coming to this world, Yun Dan thought that so-called righteous sect people should be relatively upright and honorable, but she never expected that when they schemed, they were much worse than the so-called villains.

You really can’t judge by appearances.

But right now she was still in Mingyue Manor, so she couldn’t directly refuse. Therefore, she could only give an ambiguous answer.

“Everyone says Young Master Luoyue is difficult to approach. I don’t know if my going over would make him particularly averse, and cause him great trouble. If I don’t do this matter well, it would actually bring shame to the manor instead. Please reconsider, manor lord.”

Yun Dan felt she had been quite direct. She believed that as long as Dongfang Jue wasn’t an idiot, he would be able to hear that she was refusing.

Joke’s on him – her approaching Yan Ke was her own business.

But him forcibly trying to play matchmaker for her was an entirely different matter.

Dongfang Jue hadn’t expected that this unremarkable little girl would have such a side to her, actually directly refusing him. This made him even more curious.

Yan Ke’s appearance wasn’t bad either, so what was her reason for refusing?

“Little girl, don’t worry. I don’t have any other intentions. I just feel that Young Master Luoyue seems to accept you more readily. If you have nothing to do at the manor, you could also go visit him, help ask if he needs anything – just like a steward.”

The same bed indeed doesn’t produce two different types of people. In comparison, beauty Xiao was truly much better, and many things weren’t even done by him at all – he had been framed for them. He had always been that youth, never changed, just forced to disguise himself with the label of a villain.
