Chapter 338 Not afraid of being struck by lightning?
The carriage was dimly lit because no lights were on.
Da Ya didn't reply.
I just felt a bit confused. Why would this person suddenly get angry at her for no reason?
Weren't we always begging her to cook before? Now that she's cooking, she doesn't want to eat it?
Chu Xiujie realized his tone was a bit harsh, probably because he had frightened her, so he softened his tone a bit, "Let's go to my place first, I'll have someone tell your maid to bring your clothes over."
"No need, just take me home." Daya instinctively refused.
Chu Xiujie raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you want to go back like this?"
Da Ya remained silent.
You don't even need to look to know that she must be in a terrible state right now.
The clothes inside were torn to shreds, and he was still wearing a man's coat on the outside. If the servants in the house saw this, his parents would definitely be worried.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Chu."
Chu Xiujie said, "No need for that. If you call me 'Uncle,' then it won't be a favor you owe me. Would you like to consider it?"
He was met with silence.
"Tsk, he's not saying anything again." Chu Xiujie leaned back on the cushion without any regard for his image.
Neither of them spoke again, but their breathing could be clearly heard.
Upon arriving at Chu Xiujie's residence, Chu Xiujie asked the gatekeeper to turn around, then carried Daya inside.
Although the gatekeeper didn't know why, he obediently turned around.
Chu Jiu and Da Ya's bodyguards, who were following behind Chu Xiujie, wisely did not appear.
"Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Only when no one was around did Da Ya dare to speak, and she struggled slightly.
"How can you walk? You twisted your ankle, didn't you! Stop talking nonsense." Chu Xiujie said as he carried the person to the room.
Da Ya didn't say anything; how would he know he had twisted his ankle?
"You stay here for now. I've sent Chu Shi to find your maid. You can see the doctor after you've finished getting ready."
After Chu Xiujie finished speaking, he lit the lamp, went out, and closed the door.
"Boss, the National Day holiday is here."
In the study, Chu Jiu brought in a rather slender man.
"This humble servant, Eleven, greets Your Excellency."
Chu Shiyi's voice was soft and feminine, lacking any hint of masculinity.
Chu Xiujie played with the glass tiger in his hand. "Eleven, go and put on women's clothes. From now on, you will serve Miss Lin."
He got this glass tiger from Da Ya; his zodiac animal is the tiger.
Chu Shiyi trembled and said in a sweet voice, "Master, don't you want me anymore? I have always been truly devoted to you."
"I was so happy when you asked me to wear women's clothes, but now you want to give me away. How cruel you are!"
Chu Xiujie felt goosebumps all over his body. "Alright, alright, stop with this nonsense. Stop disgusting me. We'll just be in Jiangnan for a while, but we'll have to come back after we return. After all, we still need you to gather intelligence."
Chu Shiyi wanted to say something more, but was kicked out.
"You mean, he gave me away, how could he possibly let me come back?"
Outside the study, Chu Shiyi asked Chu Jiu, who was standing next to him.
Chu Jiu lowered his voice, "Who knows? What if that Miss Lin is the future mistress? You better not get any funny ideas."
He was afraid that Chu Shiyi might have feelings for the boss, so he didn't want Chu Shiyi to become jealous out of love.
"Pfft, do you think I'm that kind of person? I was just trying to annoy our boss."
Chu Shiyi resumed speaking in a normal male voice.
He's just pretending to be a pervert, he's not really a pervert. It's just that the boss treats him like a donkey.
Chu Jiu took a breath, "Hiss... Your hobby is really weird. I thought you had really fallen for the boss."
Having gotten used to female voices, Chu Shiyi's sudden use of a male voice felt even more perverted.
Chu Shiyi raised her orchid finger and said in a affected manner, "Brother Chu Jiu, I like you."
Chu Jiu: "Get out!"

"General Lin... I... I... Your humble servant greets General Lin."
Zheng Xiaodie blushed and stammered as she looked at the person in front of her, avoiding eye contact.
Someone startled the horse and almost bumped into her; if Lin Anyuan hadn't fallen from the sky...
"No need for such formalities."
Lin Anyuan didn't even glance at the person who spoke.
Thinking that he would be free for the next two days and could spend more time with Wanwan, he couldn't help but smile.
After everyone had gone far away, Zheng Xiaodie finally came back to her senses from being amazed.
"Xiao Tao, did you see that just now? General Lin smiled at me. Ahhh, he's so handsome."
Zheng Xiaodie suppressed her screams and shook her personal maid's arm vigorously.
The maidservant lowered her voice, "Miss, you should find someone else to like. This General Lin already has a wife, and the master will never allow you to be a concubine."
Ever since she met General Lin once when they entered the capital, her young mistress has been infatuated with him, and no amount of persuasion has worked.
But this young lady even threatened her, forbidding her from telling the madam.
Today, General Lin unexpectedly helped us again. Miss must have imagined a lot in her mind. What should we do now?
"My parents have always spoiled me. Let's go back and talk about it."
Zheng Xiaodie, accompanied by her maid, walked home with great excitement.
There was another group of people not far away who had also been watching Lin Anyuan.
Mu Jiang asked Feng Xinshui in a low voice, "Master, they've already left. Should we go after them and say hello?"
"Idiot, do you think I look presentable enough to go and say hello?"
Feng Xinshui, dressed in a scholar's robe, looked in the direction Lin Anyuan had just left.
Mu Jiang didn't understand. What's wrong with her acting like this? Isn't she always like this?
They're about to become brothers-in-law, isn't it normal to go up and say hello? Even if it seems like trying to climb the social ladder.
But aren't they aiming for higher positions?
Mu Jiang thought for a moment, then spoke in a strange tone, "Master, I've heard that Lin Anyuan is ruthless and cruel, even skinning people alive. Maybe we shouldn't play these tricks on each other, in case we get discovered..."
The master's initial approach to Ye Hua was a terrible move; who came up with that awful idea?
Using a woman's feelings might backfire; aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?
Feng Xinshui smiled and said, "Why should he help me? Why should he help me? Don't be too kind-hearted."
Go to East Street and buy me some roasted chestnuts.
Mu Jiang said, "Master, you like roasted chestnuts? I like them too. You know, these Han Chinese things are really delicious, much better than what we have back home..."
After Feng Xinshui finished speaking, she called Mu Jiang back, "Forget it, shut up. I'll go myself. You can leave now. Remember to pretend to be mute when you go out. Your Mandarin is really not standard."
