"You suddenly came out of the alley, how could I see you!"
"You're the one who suddenly came out and wasn't careful. How can someone like you take care of the lady? And you're still yelling at me!"
The maid also learned some of the manners of a lady. When she said this, her face expression was very calm and composed, which was completely different from the happy expression of Xiguo in front of her.
Xiguo was scolded and gritted his teeth
"Do you know that I am now a favorite of the Madam? Who the hell are you? You..."
"What's going on with all the noise? Don't you know that Madam is resting in there now?"
I had just returned home and was planning to visit Luo Zhaozhao, but I heard this scene on the way. Chu Zhiyao frowned and took the attitudes of both of them into consideration.
The bowl of lotus seed soup on the ground was still a little hot, and the flowers and plants around it were a little wilted.
Logically speaking, Chu Zhiyao is a good-looking guy, but maybe because Xiguo has seen Xu Qingyi's self-righteous appearance, and that person is someone he knew in childhood, Chu Zhiyao now looks a little ordinary here.
She had just arrived at the deputy general's residence last night, so naturally she had never seen Chu Zhiyao before. She did not express her opinion immediately, but just looked at Chu Zhiyao.
The maidservant beside her glanced at Xiguo coldly, snorted in disdain, and bowed slightly.
"Your Excellency, the Madam is resting now. If you want to see her, please come back later."
When Xiguo heard the word "sir", he became alert and knelt down with a sudden shock.
"Greetings to the General... No, to the Deputy General! My maidservant is Xiguo. Am I new here to serve the Madam?"
"Serving the lady?"
At this moment, Chu Zhiyao finally gave Xiguo a straight look, and after studying her face for a long time, he said something in an ambiguous way.
"Who sent you in?"
"yes……"
The man's majesty made Xiguo feel at a loss. She had goose bumps all over her body, and she kept pursing her lips and burying her head even lower.
"It was Madam herself who took a fancy to me and asked me to come and serve her..."
"Madam herself?"
Chu Zhiyao laughed and looked at the lotus seed soup scattered all over the ground.
"That's a real wonder."
"That's all."
"Since the lady likes you."
He waved his hand and said to the maid next to him
"Just don't give her any more trouble in the future."
The maid turned pale and looked up
"Not a slave..."
"Back off."
Chu Zhiyao didn't even think about listening to the maid's explanation and hurriedly walked past the two people.
After Chu Zhiyao left, Xiguo also became complacent and said to the maid with a frown:
"Look, you think you can sue me? I told you, I'm the lady's favorite!"
"Next time you see me, remember to take a detour."
She patted the maid's shoulder with a smile and walked past her with her head held high.
…
When he arrived at Luo Zhaozhao's room, Chu Zhiyao did not knock on the door.
He walked in slowly and found Luo Zhaozhao embroidering with her back to him.
On the red handkerchief, a mandarin duck appears lifelike, with its wings spread high as if about to fly.
She was embroidering seriously, so Chu Zhiyao didn't disturb her. He just watched her embroidering one line at a time through the red cloth, lighting up the eyes of the mandarin ducks.
The faint smile on the corner of her mouth had not been seen for a long time. Chu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment and stood there stiffly for a long time.
I still remember the last life, it was also a light spring day, Baolan brought them tea, and Luo Zhaozhao smiled brightly at me.
It was such a beautiful scene, but why has everything changed now?
No.
He looked at Luo Zhaozhao's graceful neck drooping down.
"Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed."
Suddenly muttering, one hand hugged Luo Zhaozhao's shoulders, Chu Zhiyao tried to look normal.
"It's getting dark, aren't you going to add some lights?"
As soon as the voice sounded, Luo Zhaozhao stopped what she was doing. She slowly put down the embroidery in her hand, turned around and smiled gently.
"When did you come back?"
"I just came back and saw you were lost in thought while embroidering, so I waited for you."
Sitting next to Luo Zhaozhao, Chu Zhiyao picked up the embroidery and looked around.
"Your skills are still so superb, and the mandarin ducks you embroidered are indeed the most beautiful."
"But I remember you liked Yangcai embroidery when you were embroidering mandarin duck feathers. Why did you use Wenyun embroidery this time? It has a unique flavor."
The unintentional words made Luo Zhaozhao's hands tremble, and the corners of her mouth twitched, and even her smile was uglier than crying. She gritted her teeth and poured a glass of water for Chu Zhiyao.
"The deputy general really understands me. He even knows how I like to embroider. I'm afraid he's also got feelings for Zhao Zhao behind the scenes..."
This was said politely, but Luo Zhaozhao's hands were shaking as she poured water for Chu Zhiyao.
This man.
He has been secretly investigating himself!
She even knows how to embroider what she likes. How terrifying.
When will I let her go...
Chu Zhiyao naturally didn't notice this. As a military general, he disdained those intrigues, especially when the target was Luo Zhaozhao, he was even less on guard.
In his heart, Luo Zhaozhao was born to be with him. It was like this in his previous life, and it should be like this in this life as well.
He thought Luo Zhaozhao would be as sincere to him as in his previous life.
He thought Luo Zhaozhao was born to be his.
Perhaps even he himself did not understand the changes in Luo Zhaozhao's attitude towards him.
"Of course I want to know more about your affairs."
"That's right."
Chu Zhiyao took a sip of the tea, but found it was cold. He frowned and put the tea down again.
"I heard that you found a maid outside? What's the situation? Have you checked it out?"
"The tea is cold. How can she serve you?"
Luo Zhaozhao turned a blind eye to Chu Zhiyao's anger and didn't care.
"I think she and I get along pretty well. Tea and water don't really matter. If she doesn't add more, there will always be someone else to pour it. If I really want to drink, I can pour it myself."
"How can this be..."
I was going to continue talking, but after seeing Luo Zhaozhao's indifferent look, I sighed.
"Forget it, as long as you're happy. It's been so long, and you need someone to talk to you."
Then he talked to Luo Zhaozhao for a while before leaving.
Walking past Luo Zhaozhao's courtyard gate, a man in black was already standing quietly behind Chu Zhiyao.
"master."
He lowered his head and his face was invisible, hidden in the darkness that was about to engulf him.
"Go check the background of that girl and make sure she doesn't pose a threat to the Madam."
"yes."
After saying this, the man in black disappeared into the night.
At this time, an uninvited guest came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Princess."
Bailu approached Gu Qingsheng, who was taking a bite of a persimmon cake and looked up at Bailu.
"What's wrong?"
He went to Gu Qingsheng and recited a few words. Gu Qingsheng raised his eyebrows.
"Mrs. Luo?"
