Chapter 129: Kowtow to My Princess
Zhuo Ge'er jumped into the room and glanced around.
Yu Shengsheng looked down at him. He was still wearing the same clothes as before, which were a little dirty. His hands and face were also dirty, and there was mud under his fingernails.
"What are you doing?" Zhuo Ge'er came over and asked, leaning on the table to look at the paintings on it.
Yu Shengsheng was silent for a moment: "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see...I missed you, Sister Sheng, and I missed grandma too," Zhuo Ge'er raised his face, his eyes twinkling.
He said he wanted to, but such a young child's acting skills are not up to par and there is no sadness in his eyes at all.
Yu Shengsheng suddenly felt that Zhuo Ge'er looked a bit like his second grandfather.
That is Grandma Wu's eldest uncle, who was a ruthless person. When he was alive, he drank, gambled, did a lot of bad things, and plundered Grandma Wu a lot.
When the Su family first entered the village, it was he who led the way and even shamelessly asked for a few copper coins.
Blood relationship is a really strange thing. There will always be one or two prodigals who look and act alike.
Yu Shengsheng remained calm: "What should we do? Grandma passed away and couldn't survive. What were you doing during her funeral?"
Zhuo Ge'er's eyes rolled around: "I'm too young, it's useless to go."
"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
Yu Shengsheng nodded and turned to get him some snacks.
As soon as he turned around, Zhuo Ge'er suddenly picked up the painting on the table, swung it twice, pushed Yu Shengsheng away and ran out.
Yu Shengsheng was not surprised. Going to get snacks was just giving him this opportunity.
They would never feel at ease unless they took a look at this painting.
After watching it, you will feel at peace.
Jin Baobao's cursing was heard in the yard. Yu Shengsheng stopped it immediately, and Zhuo Ge'er disappeared in a flash.
Mrs. Wu laughed dryly, said a few nice words, and quickly left with her maids and servants.
"Miss, they..."
Yu Shengsheng sneered: "It doesn't matter, he took away the one I prepared."
"But there's no point in letting someone snatch it away for nothing. Leopard, come with me and get it."
Zhuo Ge'er ran all the way into Su Yanshu's yard. Su Zhiyi's yard had not been repaired yet and would take some time. During this period of time, she lived with Su Yanshu.
No one in the mansion found it strange, as everyone knew that the Second Young Master had the best and closest relationship with her.
As soon as Yu Shengsheng entered the yard, she was stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Wait, I'll go and reply..."
"Bang!" Jin Baobao spoke with his fists, "Who are you asking to wait? Who are you trying to be so mean to? My young lady is also a princess!"
With a series of loud noises, Jin Baobao escorted Yu Shengsheng and rushed into the house.
When I looked up, I saw a familiar face that I didn't want to see.
Qi Mu, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with his injured arm still in a sling, was standing in front of the desk, commenting on the painting.
"The tip of the brush is pretty good, but the flavor is a little lacking, and the ink here is a little thick..."
When he saw Yu Shengsheng coming in, he paused.
Yu Shengsheng was still dressed as before, even plainer than before, because she was in mourning for Grandma Wu, so she didn't wear any pearls on her head.
But she has a cool temperament and a cold gaze, so this outfit doesn't look shabby at all, but rather highlights her elegance.
Su Zhiyi's eyes were filled with smiles: "Sister is here? Come in quickly, someone, serve tea."
Yu Shengsheng's gaze towards Qi Mubai was immediately retracted.
"No need," Yu Shengsheng's voice was as clear as ice beads, "I'm here to take the painting back."
Su Zhiyi showed just the right amount of surprise on her face: "This one? Just now Zhuo Ge'er ran in and wanted to show it to Mu Bai like he was presenting a treasure. I thought... it was actually my sister's."
"He's just a kid, where did he get the painting? You'll know once you ask him. What's so unexpected about this? Besides, Mrs. Wu saw with her own eyes that Su Zhiyi was playing such a trick. It's boring."
Yu Shengsheng showed no mercy and went straight to the point.
Su Zhiyi usually plays roundabout ways and speaks in a roundabout way. When she saw this direct approach, she was stunned and didn't know what to do.
Qi Mubai frowned, gently held Su Zhiyi's shoulders, and said slowly: "Shengsheng, why are you so aggressive?"
"I missed Zhuo Ge'er, so I came to see him and asked him if he had made any progress recently. He said he would show me a painting."
"This matter has nothing to do with Zhiyi. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
Mu Bai, knows what I mean.
It was such an intimate call.
It's only been a few days and they're already calling each other like this.
Yu Shengsheng sneered: "Have you finished reading it? Bring it back."
Qi Mubai stared at her with burning eyes: "Did you draw this? Or did you buy it?"
Jin Baobao's fist itched: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Qi Mubai said: "If it was you who painted it, you have indeed made great progress. Compared to you in the countryside, where you didn't even know how to hold a paintbrush, it is indeed a world of difference."
"If you bought the painting, I can only say that you made a mistake or you don't understand painting, buying such a mediocre painting."
Yu Shengsheng looked at him. It was clearly the same face, yet it looked so unfamiliar.
It turned out that he had always been disgusted with her.
Otherwise, how could you say such words.
Yu Shengsheng smiled self-deprecatingly and secretly cursed himself for being blind.
"Leopard, bring the painting back."
Yu Shengsheng was too lazy to waste time talking to these two people. She felt disgusted just by looking at them for a second.
Jin Baobao couldn't wait any longer and went up to get the painting.
Qi Mubai stretched out his hand and held her down: "Shengsheng, I know you blame me, but Zhiyi is innocent. I provoked her. She didn't know about you and me at first. Don't take your anger out on her."
"Top scholar," Yu Shengsheng suddenly smiled, "Has he been given an official title?"
Qi Mubai was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Not yet, Shengsheng, I remember you weren't the kind of person who cared so much about these things before..."
"That's Bai Shen," Yu Shengsheng interrupted, "Oh, there's a title of Zhuangyuan, which is better than Bai Shen, but not as good as a princess, right?"
"Leopard, let him pay his respects and kowtow."
Jin Baobao slapped him in the face. Qi Mubai's eyes widened in disbelief. Before he could come to his senses, he was hit on the knee again.
With a plop, he knelt on the ground.
Jin Baobao pressed his injured arm with one hand, causing him to groan in pain and immediately break out in a cold sweat.
With his other hand he pressed the back of his neck and forced him to kowtow.
He was dizzy from the pain and had no strength to resist. With a thud, his head hit the ground.
"Kowtow to my princess!"
"Dong, Dong", two more.
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes and looked at Qi Mubai who was in a mess, without any ripple in her heart.
Everything he had before, with his proposal of marriage and the death of Grandma Wu, turned into hatred.
Nothing else.
"Stop!" Su Yanshu came in from outside, his face full of shock.
"Shengsheng, how could you allow a slave to commit a crime? That's outrageous!"
Jin Baobao pressed Qi Mubai to kowtow twice, and Su Yanshu roared twice again. Jin Baobao saw Yu Shengsheng nod, then he let go and rolled up the painting and put it away.
Yu Shengsheng turned to him and said, "He ordered someone to enter the courtyard and snatch my painting in front of me, and he even had the nerve to comment on it here. It would be really outrageous if I didn't beat such a person."
