Chapter 27 Whoever changes is a puppy

Lu Sui put away the account book in his hand, suddenly stood up, supported himself on the table with both hands, and leaned towards Jiang Yueyao.

He suddenly approached, and Jiang Yueyao was so frightened that she dared not move.

Lu Sui leaned over to her ear, his voice low. As he spoke, his hot breath poured over her.

Jiang Yueyao resisted the urge to avoid him and heard what he said.

"You're so rude and not very likable. I want to see who will be willing to marry you in the future."

After Lu Sui finished speaking, he withdrew and sat down.

Jiang Yueyao's face flushed.

I don’t know if it was because I was angry or because he got too close and I felt shy.

She opened her mouth and took a long time to utter three words.

"What do you care?"

Qingshu led people in and brought food.

He set out two sets of bowls and chopsticks. "Miss, haven't you had dinner yet? The dishes you brought today are very good. Are they made by Sister Lan? I asked the kitchen to add two more dishes. Please stay and have some with the master."

Jiang Yueyao originally planned to refuse.

But when he saw the steaming roasted quail served, he swallowed the refusal that was about to come out of his mouth.

She glanced at Lu Sui and hummed softly.

"Okay, since Qingshu invited me so sincerely, I'll give it a try."

As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating when she was hit on the back of her hand.

Jiang Yueyao looked up at the man who was hitting her and said angrily, "Why are you hitting me?"

"handwashing."

"Why don't you wash?"

"I just washed them." Lu Sui picked up the chopsticks and glanced at her indifferently, "Who is as untidy as you?"

“…”

Jiang Yueyao stood up and walked aside to wash her hands.

She sat down again, picked up her chopsticks and went straight to the roasted quail.

The quail is not big, but it is roasted until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with crispy skin and tasty and tender meat. It is really delicious.

After she finished one, she saw there were still three on the plate.

So he asked Lu Sui, "Don't you want to eat?"

"Too greasy."

"Then... can I take two away later?" Jiang Yueyao looked at him, "Sister Lan and Aunt Chun haven't eaten roasted quail yet. I want to take some back for them to try."

Lu Sui raised his eyes and looked at her: "It's up to you."

"Thank you, sir."

Jiang Yueyao ate one and asked Qingshu to put the other two into the food box.

Qingshu said with a smile: "If you like it, please come to my house often in the future. I will ask the kitchen to bake two more next time."

"Yeah." Jiang Yueyao smiled happily at Qingshu, then looked at Lu Sui, "Sir, if you don't mind, how about I come to have dinner with you from now on?"

"You really don't consider yourself an outsider!" Lu Sui put down his chopsticks, picked up the spoon, and sipped his porridge while speaking, "Your main task is to manage Wanhelou well. If this year's profit exceeds last year's, I will give you a reward by the end of the year."

Jiang Yueyao's eyes lit up.

"What's the reward?"

"What do you want?"

"silver!"

The voice was crisp and clear, without any hesitation.

Lu Sui snorted and laughed: "You are quite direct."

"Oh, I'm poor." Jiang Yueyao looked at him eagerly, "How much reward do you plan to give me, sir?"

"If this year's profit exceeds half of last year's, how about I waive your rent for a year?"

Jiang Yueyao's eyes rolled, and she did a quick calculation in her head...

The monthly rent for the house is two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and for twelve months a year, the total is three thousand taels of silver.

She was overjoyed.

"Sir, do you keep your word?"

"Once I speak, I cannot take it back. How could I have ever lied to you?"

"Okay!" She put down the chopsticks in her hand, stood up and walked to Lu Sui. Without saying a word, she pulled his big hand over and hooked her little finger with his.

"Let's make a promise and hang ourselves for a hundred years, and we won't change. Anyone who changes is a puppy."

She looked at Qingshu: "Be a witness."

Qingshu, however, looked at his master with a somewhat apprehensive expression.

The master is good in every way except that he is too obsessed with mysophobia and doesn't want others to touch him.

Normally, if someone touches him, he will change his expression and then take a bath and change clothes.

At this moment, Miss Jiang not only touched the master, but also pulled his finger and swore...

Just when he thought his master was about to get angry, he heard his master sneer: "Aren't you bored?"

Having said that, the little finger showed no intention of shaking off.

He was secretly surprised. When did his master become so nice?

"It's not boring, I'm just worried that you won't keep your word." Jiang Yuyao hooked her finger with his and shook it, then put her thumb against his, "I'll stamp it, and you can't run away."

Lu Sui finally shook her hand off and looked at his left hand with disdain. He felt the oil on it and couldn't help but say, "Did you just eat quail with your hands?"

"Yeah, I ate it."

Lu Sui took a deep breath, stood up and walked aside to wash his hands.

Qingshu saw this and felt inexplicably relieved.

The master is still the same master.

Nothing changed!

Jiang Yueyao ate until her belly was full, and then was taken to the study by Lu Sui.

"The account is well done, which deserves praise."

"Hmm." If Jiang Yueyao had a little tail at this moment, she would definitely be wagging it happily.

"Here are three account books. Can you help me see if there is any problem?" He took out two account books from the side and handed them to Jiang Yueyao.

Jiang Yueyao reached out to take it and took a look at it.

"It's great. Every expense and income is recorded in the book. It's clearly organized and perfect."

She asked Lu Sui: "Are you from this mansion?"

“Old house.”

Lu Sui stood up and walked to the window, looking at the night view in the courtyard. He spoke slowly, "Although I moved out of the old house, I am still the eldest son of the Duke of Ying. My father is no longer in charge of household affairs, and my mother has handed over everything to my eldest sister-in-law. She gives me an account book every month. These three account books are for the past six months."

When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she had an idea in mind.

She opened the account book again and carefully flipped through several pages from front to back.

"There's nothing wrong with the account books; everything seems reasonable."

"But it feels weird." She closed the account book and looked at Lu Sui. "Although I have never managed the inner house, I know it should be more difficult to manage than the restaurant and the inn."

"If the inn and restaurant's account books are not kept carefully, there will be omissions every day."

"Not to mention the huge British mansion."

She walked to Lu Sui and looked at the night view in the yard with him.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke softly.

"If I really had to find fault, it would be that this account book is too perfect, so perfect that it seems unreal."

After she said this, she looked at the man next to her.

There was no surprise on his face.

Then he said, "You thought of that too?"

Lu Sui didn't reply, but only said: "It's late, I'll let Xiaoxi take you home."

Jiang Yueyao looked at him and saw that he looked unhappy, so she didn't say anything more.

He nodded and walked out.

Qingshu stood in the yard with a food box in his hand.

"The master has ordered the kitchen to roast a few more quails. Take them home and eat them while they're hot. They won't taste good if they're cold."

"Well, I'm leaving then."

"Xiaoxi is at the door. She will take you back."

"Thank you very much."

Jiang Yueyao carried the food box and walked to the gate of the yard but stopped.

She turned around and saw Lu Sui still standing in front of the study window.

Such a noble and unparalleled person, yet he made her feel inexplicably lonely.

She rummaged through her purse, took out a piece of candy, and ran back.

She didn't go into the study, but stood outside the window.

He raised his arm and passed the piece of candy to Lu Sui through the window lattice.

"Here, eat it."
