Whether Mr. You was happy or not could be put aside for now. After all, no matter what his mood was, he was always very polite.
It just seems a bit too comprehensive.
After Luo Jiujiang soaked in the expensive hot water, a maid came to help him clean himself and change his clothes. The clothes they prepared for him were of the same style as the place itself: expensive and exquisite, with intricate patterns and a complete range of accessories from head to toe. The soft, cool material was evident from the first touch of the hand.
Luo Jiujiang shook his sleeves, thinking that he could finally meet You Su and have a good chat. He just hoped that Miss Shang would not speak too quickly. By the time he arrived, Master You might have already sent out a jade slip asking for favors, which would be very embarrassing.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly realized that the maid leading the way was not going in the right direction: "Young lady, please wait. I don't think this is the way we came from."
The maid turned and bowed slightly to him, then said demurely, "Young Master, you're feeling quite sleepy after your bath. I was just about to take you to the guest bedroom to rest."
Luo Jiujiang was surprised for a moment, then quickly said, "No, let's not make Master You wait."
"For a man like you, my master would only blame us for our poor hospitality, not for waiting." The maid shook her head and smiled, then asked, "We've prepared the food. If you don't want to take a nap, would you like some?"
This reception was a perfect example of meticulous planning, with every detail perfectly tailored to the occasion. If Luo Jiujiang hadn't known that his cultivation hadn't been revealed, his skills hadn't been demonstrated, and his treatment wasn't commensurate with his talent, he'd probably have been flattered, believing his half-bottle of vinegar was truly rare, a genius to be adored by anyone who met him.
Everyone enjoys pleasure, and no one dislikes being respected. It's just that this sudden goodness is always confusing. Luo Jiujiang still has a criminal record for breaking into the Taotie Jinyun murder case, so he has to be cautious.
He once again rejected the maid's invitation, saying gently but firmly, "I just want to see Master You now, the sooner the better."
The maid obeyed without hesitation and did not look at all embarrassed.
This time they walked back to the correct corridor.
However, the door to the guest room was half-closed, and several maids dressed in the same attire were waiting outside to receive orders. The maid who led Luo Jiujiang took only a glance and then took him to the next room, saying with an apologetic smile, "My master is entertaining other guests. Please wait a moment, young master."
That was true. If You Su had been free to wait during the reception, he would have no idea how long it would take him to see the hundreds of beauties downstairs. Luo Jiujiang walked into the room without a doubt and saw Shang Hanjiao there. A maid was playing chess with her to amuse herself.
"You're back! You're so quick." Shang Hanjiao put the chess piece back into the basket and turned to look at him. "I've already told Master You about your situation. He said he has several options, but he's waiting for you to come see him again to make a decision. He also said he wants you to paint a picture of a beautiful woman, so he might want you to stay a little longer."
Facing Shang Hanjiao's expectant, envious, and happy eyes, Luo Jiujiang nodded and said, "If someone like Master You really wants to invite me, who can refuse?"
Shang Hanjiao was simple in character and only understood the surface meaning of Luo Jiujiang's words. She didn't know that what Luo Jiujiang was thinking in his heart was: If there really was someone who was not moved by You Su's wealth, power and etiquette and had to leave, this Mr. You wouldn't even need to smash the cup as a signal. With just one order, who could leave?
It wasn't that he was suspicious, but he was taken to bathe, sleep, and eat, while Shang Hanjiao stayed inside playing chess. They came here together, yet were treated so differently. Although Luo Jiujiang had an outspoken personality and didn't like to pretend, he had quite a few secrets when he recounted everything that had happened since he separated from Qianling.
The dragon-transformed Qianling, the inner story of the death place, how the Jinyun Realm was destroyed by him with one sword, and even the whereabouts of Xie Chuncan and the Feng Xue sisters... If someone really wants to capture him, who knows who they are after?
Shang Hanjiao felt embarrassed to stay any longer. She had been rejected once before, and she was waiting only to take advantage of Luo Jiujiang's favor. Luo Jiujiang saw that the situation in the building was unclear, and he also hoped that she could leave safely, the sooner the better.
Taking the opportunity to escort Shang Hanjiao to her room, Luo Jiujiang listened carefully to the sounds coming from the next room. However, even though he was very attentive, he didn't expect to hear the sudden words, "Brother Liu dressed up like this just to see me. It's really You Su's fault."
"You will help Brother Liu change his clothes and have his meals, and make sure he feels at home."
After a pause, the voice continued, "Brother Liu, if you need anything, just tell the maid. No need to be polite with me."
Luo Jiujiang: “…” Sounds familiar?
How could it not sound familiar? This is exactly what You Suda said to him before, with almost no changes to the words.
Then he watched the door of the next room open, and a maid came out with a familiar man, smiling. The man's face was powdered white, his belt was tightly tied around his slender waist, and he had a half-opened rose pinned on his hair. It was the green leaf he had just seen among the flowers downstairs.
Luo Jiujiang: “…” This… the people downstairs actually let him up?
Then he saw the maid leading the man towards the depths of the corridor, and the direction was exactly the hot spring pool he had just soaked in!
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
He suddenly understood and thought to himself that there really are people in the world who have so much money but nowhere to spend it!
As a result, when he walked around the screen and sat down opposite You Su, he felt quite strange. The idle books he had read before said that Meng Chang had 3,000 retainers, and he treated even the most thieves with equal care. If someone asked for meat, he would give him meat, a carriage, or a small room.
