Bai Yujing frowned, glancing at the food on the table. The simple vegetarian dishes were dull in color and utterly unappetizing. A hint of displeasure flashed across his lips as he turned to Deng Shen and said, "How can this food be eaten? Go, throw it away."
Deng Shen hesitated for a moment, about to obey the order, but was stopped by Jiang Huaiyu.
“Yujing, this is too precious to waste. Although Azi is Princess Ziyan’s maid, her thoughtfulness is still rare. Besides, I’m actually hungry, and Deng Shen has more important things to do. There’s no need for him to worry about such a small matter.” Jiang Huaiyu smiled gently, a hint of indifference in her eyes.
Bai Yujing looked at Jiang Huaiyu, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, nodded, and said, "Huaiyu is right, I was wrong. Deng Shen, open the food box, let's eat."
Deng Shen opened the food box as instructed, and the enticing aroma of the dishes wafted out. Bai Yujing and Jiang Huaiyu sat facing each other and began to eat.
Azi stood outside the door, listening to the conversation inside, and secretly sneered in her heart.
She knew Bai Yujing was dissatisfied with the food, but she never expected Jiang Huaiyu to say such a thing. A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
...
"When I was a homeless wanderer, it was Madam's compassion that led her to take me in. Madam is kind and gentle, and young master is magnanimous. How fortunate I, Deng Shen, have never met such kind masters. To be able to serve both of you is truly a blessing I earned in my past life. Now that you are in trouble, it is time for me, Deng Shen, to repay your kindness. Madam and young master, please give me your orders!"
Looking at his solemn face, which showed a willingness to risk his life, Jiang Huaiyu couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, Deng Shen. Zhang San and Li Si's target is me and Yu Jing. They won't pay special attention to your whereabouts. You just need to return before dawn, and you'll be safe and sound."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her arm slightly, gesturing for him to come closer, "Come closer and listen to me."
She whispered a few words in Deng Shen's ear. Although Bai Yujing was a little surprised, he knew that his wife was always cautious, so he did not ask any further questions.
With everything arranged, the group exchanged a knowing glance, and Jiang Huaiyu stepped out of the house first.
She strolled towards the courtyard, and as she reached the gate, Zhang San and Li Si suddenly appeared on the wall like ghosts. Zhang San's voice was as cold as ice: "Where are you going?"
“I don’t have a specific place to go,” Jiang Huaiyu looked up at the night sky. “The moon is beautiful tonight, so I came out to enjoy it.”
Li Si jumped down from the wall and stood in front of her, his tone stern: "You little wench, you're cunning. Don't try anything funny with us!"
Jiang Huaiyu took a few steps back and slowly sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
"With two heroes here, how could I dare to play any tricks?"
Perhaps the sarcasm in her words was too obvious, for Li Si angrily drew his knife, the tip pointing directly at her: "Tell me! How exactly did you escape last time?"
Jiang Huaiyu showed no fear. "If I don't tell you, what can you do to me?"
"you!"
Li Si gritted his teeth, "What an extremely cunning woman! We treated you with utmost courtesy the whole way, yet you took the opportunity to escape. If I had known this would happen, I should have made you suffer back then!"
"Special treatment?" Jiang Huaiyu laughed contemptuously. "Li Sixia's words almost made me think I was a VIP invited by you, but the scars on my hands remind me that the reality is far from that."
Li Si was speechless, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. "Sharp-tongued! Answer my question quickly."
But Jiang Huaiyu chose to remain silent, her expression inscrutable, as if to say: You may want to know, but you may not be able to know.
"Brother, look at her!" Li Si was furious. If she weren't a woman, he would have loved to go up and teach her a lesson.
Zhang San simply shook his head slightly. "This woman is incredibly clever. We've already suffered at her hands once. You don't need to provoke her again. The key is to do your duty. This time, we absolutely cannot let her slip through our fingers again."
Li Si's heart tightened suddenly, and he quickly replied, "Yes, brother."
Jiang Huaiyu let out a mocking laugh and said sarcastically, "Since I had one chance to escape, the second time will naturally be easy. Aren't you eager to know why I was able to escape last time? Well, I'll tell you. The reason is nothing more than... you two were sleeping like dead pigs in your dreams, which allowed me to take advantage of the situation and escape easily."
"Hahaha……"
"Look at you two! If you were in charge of guarding the house, thieves could easily steal everything and leave without you noticing. You even dared to teach yourselves to be kidnappers. Does Princess Ziyan have no other capable subordinates, which is why she favors you two good-for-nothings so much?"
"You! How dare you, a mere woman, insult us like this?"
Li Si was so angry that his face turned red, and he gripped the blade tightly in his hand, as if he was about to rush forward at any moment.
Jiang Huaiyu's escape last time left the two of them completely baffled, and they could only attribute it to their own deep sleep.
However, both of them had practiced martial arts for many years and were extremely vigilant. Even in their deep sleep, the slightest movement would wake them immediately. Furthermore, with Li Si personally guarding the carriage door, how could they possibly be completely unaware of Jiang Huaiyu's departure? The mystery surrounding this was truly perplexing.
Having already lost face by being mocked by a woman, Li Si was now subjected to Jiang Huaiyu's merciless ridicule. His anger erupted like a volcano, almost tearing him to shreds.
Zhang San stopped him in time and calmly reminded him, "Don't be impatient, be careful of traps!"
"She's just a woman, I don't believe she can pull off anything!"
