Flowers Bloom from Battlefield-Chapter 17: Miss… Please have mercy 1

Jun Hua tried the lotion that Fan Lanying gave her. When she checked its medicinal component, she realized that this medicine was better than the one her uncle had given her.

"Xia, send a sample to my uncle. Let the doctor try to examine it."

Xia carried out Jun Hua's instruction carefully. She arranged for everything just as Jun Hua busied herself with training under Madam Mu. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Madam Mu was all praise for Jun Hua because of her quick progress. Indeed, even Xia could feel that her miss seemed more refined than ever.

The next day, Lin San didn't go to school. Lin Yuan told her that her sister was sick and wasn't able to go to school. Jun Hua didn't bother with that and merely studied with Fan Lanying's help. She's terribly poor in music, so it took her a long time to make a correct sound.

Fan Lanying tried to console her. "It's fine. Even I took years to play a single song."

Jun Hua had to admit that Fan Lanying's progress was far slower than her. But because the girl started learning from younger years, she already advanced further than her.

On the fourth day in the academy, Jun Hua learned etiquette. Since she already had some foundation from Madam Mu's lesson in the past few days, she could pass the first lesson safely. The teacher still told her to stay behind though, and gave an additional lesson which made her get home later than usual.

"The teacher is even stricter than Madam Mu," Jun Hua sighed.

"At least you could learn a lot from her," Xia smiled. "Your way of walking and posture is much more similar to a lady now."

"I am a lady."

Xia didn't answer and followed behind Jun Hua. The girl endured another round of abuse under Madam Mu before she let her go.

Jun Hua stretched her body as she lay on bed.

"What is tomorrow's lesson?" 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

"It's mathematics, Miss."

"Hmm… I don't need math lesson," Jun Hua sighed. Then her lips curled up to show a crafty smile. "Min, come here."

Yamin appeared unexpectedly. Xia's eyes almost popped out of their sockets in surprise. She did not detect the presence of Yamin at all. Suddenly, Xia felt that she's a failure as a maid because her skills was far lower than Jun Hua. Really, her miss was truly a monster to even detect an assassin in hiding.

Jun Hua ignored the conflicted expression on Xia's face. "You substitute for me at school tomorrow."

"Miss…?" Yamin raised her head in confusion. They rarely switched place as it would be dangerous if anyone found out. If not because 'Jun Hua' had to appear at the estate on some occasions, Yamin wouldn't have appeared and continue to hide in the shadow.

Jun Hua smiled. "I have some plans for tomorrow, but I need to appear as Jun Min."

"I understand."

Since Jun Hua didn't require another math lesson, Yamin could stand in her place without worry. Yamin herself was not really good in math, so it will be a good lesson for her. After she finished instructing Yamin, the girl once again blended into darkness.

Jun Hua looked towards Xia who was wearing dark face. "What is it, Xia?"

"Miss… it seems that my skill has deteriorated. I can't even sense when Yamin is in this room."

Jun Hua laughed. "You don't have to worry. Yamin is not staying in this room. She's outside. If she's in this room, I would have waved my arm and not speaking."

Xia was stunned. She had just realized, it wasn't her skills that lacked, but it was her Miss' skills were too monstrous! With that kind of skills, how many people could get close to her without her noticing? Her Miss was truly scary.

"Oh right, Xia what makes you fall for Jun Min?"

Xia face turned beet red. Why was her Miss teasing her again? "Miss, please don't tease me anymore. With that kind of appearance, how could I not feel something?"

"Appearance? Oh right, what kind of man do you like?"

"Miss, are you planning to marry me away?"

Jun Hua laughed. "No, I just wanted to know what young girls like."

Xia felt defeated. Jun Hua was obviously a young girl, why was she talking like she's not one? Maybe it was because her Miss had long gotten used with her appearance that she never realized how attractive she was as Jun Min.

"A gentleman who cared for a lady, I think."

Xia didn't have much idea about men since she has long vowed to stay by Jun Hua side. The only times those thoughts appeared were when her Miss dressed up as Jun Min and looked really stunning despite her young age.

"A gentleman, huh? Probably a scholar will do," Jun Hua murmured.

"Miss, what are you planning?" Xia stared cautiously.

Jun Hua didn't bother explaining and turned to sleep.

The next day, Xia helped Yamin dressed up as Jun Hua for a long time. Because her face was quite different, she needed a long time to match how Jun Hua usually appeared.

"You don't have to talk about anything, just go inside and sit in the place I usually do. It's practically easy. Xia can help you with that."

Jun Hua in the academy was a quiet girl and never talked a lot. The only one who usually hears her speak was Fan Lanying. But even then, she rarely speaks for a long time to her and only casually says one or two sentences.

"Imitate my voice if you have to talk. Just speak in low voice, they wouldn't recognize you."

Yamin nodded. "Is there anyone I should avoid?"

"Lin San is away because of an incident," Jun Hua lips cannot help, but curled upwards when she remembered that scene. "Just be careful around Lin Yuan and Fan Lanying. Those two have interacted with me personally."

"Yes Miss."

After instructing Yamin for some time, Jun Hua returned to her chair and took out a book. While waiting, it's better to read some strategy books.

On the other hand, Yamin struggled hard to pass off as Jun Hua. Luckily, Fan Lanying kept most of the talking, so she could stay low. While the class was on-going, at least she could learn a few things. However, her learning pace compared to other students was lagging far behind.

"Jun Hua, you made a mistake on this part. Really, you even made such a careless mistake."

Yamin raised her head and saw the looks the other girls passed at her. Just how poor were her Miss' skills for them to look at her that way? She sighed in her heart, if only they knew how excellent her Miss was, they wouldn't even dare to look at her that way.

"Jun Hua, are you even listening to me?"

Yamin felt defeated. With all these lessons, they were more than what she could handle. The young miss indeed showed her no mercy to actually force her to imitate her today. Was that what she called easy? This was a great torture!
