Chapter 772: Eighth Master: Warming up the wine is too much!
The Fourth Master wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It's such a sin. Why did I take on such a task?
Jiu'er had been in a coma recently, so naturally, she couldn't get close to him.
Earlier, we were always in a hurry, which was not as good as before.
It’s not that he couldn’t bear it, but when he saw her, the Fourth Master felt extremely agitated.
With such a fairy around, it would be a big loss if I didn't do something.
He subconsciously glanced down at Wen Jiu and saw her looking at him innocently. Her eyes were as charming as silk, half asleep and half closed, bewitching and captivating.
The Fourth Master gritted his teeth and said, "Don't look at me."
As he spoke, he covered her eyes with his hands.
Wenjiu: "..." Xiaojin! Do you think this gentleman is becoming more and more abnormal?
[Abnormal! Very abnormal!]
Wen Jiu looked at Xiao Jin who was pulled out of the space by him. He was still holding a book with a frown on his face, so he threw it back.
The Fourth Master finally stood up at this moment and said, "I still have to go to the front. You should have a good rest. I don't know when you will be back today. If there is anything, Jiu'er will send someone to pass on the message."
Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, subconsciously pulling the Fourth Master's hand again: "...Master, do you still remember what Jiu'er told you?"
The Fourth Master was stunned: "Don't worry, I will be on guard against all the monks."
Wen Jiu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "I always feel uneasy. Master, you must be careful today. If possible, don't stay too far away from Jiu'er, and don't get hurt."
"Don't worry. I will never let anyone hurt me. After all... I'll have to save my strength to deal with you later."
Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment, and the next second he punched the Fourth Master on the shoulder: "What are you talking about...?"
She immediately rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
The Fourth Master glanced at the beautiful woman in front of him who was both angry and furious. His heart was beating like a drum. The next second, he had grabbed her little head and pressed her into his arms.
As if that wasn't enough, she opened her mouth and bit his cheek, then said, "I'm leaving, you should sleep well."
After saying that, he stuffed the person back into the quilt.
Wenjiu was covered tightly with the quilt by him. When he crawled out of the quilt, there was no trace of the Fourth Master.
After chatting privately under the quilt for a while while warming the wine, he suddenly said, "Liusu, go and call Maggie Mao. Shanzha, serve the writing brushes and ink. Dashao, go and find out where the Thirteenth Master is. If you see him, invite him here."
[Master, what's up with you?]
Wen Jiu: "...We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to do something." The thief was just taking advantage of the rift between the Fourth Master and his brothers to stir up trouble. If the rift between the brothers was gone, what would the thief do?
Xiao Jin: “…”
Can't understand……
Even if you don't want to create any rift between the brothers, what's the point of looking for that princess of the Eighth Master?
Everyone knew that the Eighth Master only favored his legitimate wife, and that these princesses were usually not favored. The Eighth Wife was usually a powerful one. She knew that if the Eighth Master went out with a favored one, it would be a disaster.
Forget it, it can’t figure out what its master is thinking, so it might as well study ancient books.
…
"Master, I have thoroughly investigated. There is no maid named Hongguo in the Fourth Master's residence. However, there are two people of similar age who share a scar on their wrists. They do fit the description."
Zhang Li said with a smile that showed a hint of joy on his face.
The Thirteenth Master's hand holding the teacup suddenly stopped, and the amber tea soup swayed twice, half of it splashing out.
Thirteenth Master's slender fingers were soaked in tea, but he seemed unaware. He turned his head to look at Zhang Li and asked, "Who is it? What's your name?"
Zhang Li said, "One is a maid in the kitchen, her name is Xiaotao. The scar on her wrist was scratched while on duty. The other one is a servant in the embroidery room of the Fourth Prince's mansion, her name is Xiu'er. I heard that Xiu'er is very beautiful. The scar on her wrist seems to have been there since childhood."
Thirteen put down the teacup in his hand and took a deep breath: "Xiao... Tao? Did you see anyone?"
Zhang Li shook his head slightly and said, "Xiu'er hasn't seen anyone yet, but Xiaotao has come along this time. I've seen her from afar. She looks...virtuous. She's also a bit more robust than the others."
After hearing this, Thirteen suddenly stood up and walked out with big strides.
However, halfway through the journey, he suddenly turned back.
Zhang Li felt his hair stand on end when Thirteen looked at him: "Master..."
"What do you think of my clothes? Will the girls like them?"
Zhang Li couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this, but he still said, "Master, this is truly a mighty figure. If a woman sees this, she will surely never forget it."
What is the status of his master? When this servant sees her, she must be overjoyed. Even if she is not wearing any clothes, she will still look good!
"Well, this outfit looks pretty good."
As he spoke, Thirteen finally walked to the mirror, tidied himself up, put on a hat, then stood up and hurried out.
After taking only two steps, he saw a big spoon coming towards him.
"This servant greets the Thirteenth Master."
"No need to be polite." Thirteen smiled faintly: "Why do you have time to come here today? Is there something that Little Fourth Sister-in-law wants?"
"My Lord Thirteen, our concubine asked me to come here to ask if you are free to have dinner with us.
The Concubine prepared a lot of food today and also told me about your favorite meals."
Thirteen was just wondering how to tell the Fourth Master that he wanted to go there. He was starting to feel sleepy, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
As he said that, he thought, why don’t we go to the Fourth Master’s yard quickly.
Dashao, who was leading the way in front, also had a puzzled look on his face.
Why does this gentleman seem to be more anxious than me? I'm here to do something, so what's this Thirteenth Master doing? I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. I just hurried to follow him.
…
"Master, you are back!" The little girl kowtowed to the Eighth Master and said, "Master, please save our princess! If you go too late, our princess might not be able to come back to see you alive."
The Eighth Master was humming a little tune in a cheerful mood, but when he saw the man in front of him crying, he immediately frowned. "Why are you crying so hard? You've cried away all the good luck I've had. Tell me more clearly, what happened?"
"In reply to my master, two days ago, the princess followed your instructions to entertain the master and deliberately went to fetch spring water to make tea.
On the way, they met the maid of the Fourth Master's concubine. Princess Gege was anxious and just told her to hurry up, but now she was taken away by the people serving Concubine Wen.
The man who came was very arrogant, obviously angry because of his failure.
"Your Majesty, please save our princess. If you go too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to see her again."
"Warm the wine! That's too much!" The Eighth Master gritted his teeth. "I want to see what she's going to do."
After saying that, he strode towards the yard where the wine was to be warmed.
