Chapter 18 I Only Want to Give It to You
Miss Chi was shocked.
She didn't expect Jiang Yueyao to be so bold as to say such ugly words to her.
I got angry on the spot.
"You..." She raised her finger and pointed at her nose, furious, "Mammy, slap her in the face!"
"Yes." An old lady stood up, rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit Jiang Yueyao.
Jiang Yueyao was a brave man who would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he raised his foot and ran away.
But the other party was outnumbered and blocked her way. Several of them came forward, twisted her arms and were about to beat her...
At this moment, a deep voice came from not far away.
"Who is causing trouble here?"
When Jiang Yueyao heard Lu Sui's voice, she called out quickly.
"Lord Lu, help me."
Miss Chi, who was looking at her coldly, turned around and looked when she heard her call her Lord Lu.
A person came down from the second floor on the stairs not far away.
The other person was only wearing a dark blue fine cloth gown. At first glance, his attire was very ordinary, but the noble and sharp aura he exuded was obvious that only someone from a high-ranking family could have.
In addition, the other person looked as handsome as his father described.
Especially those eyes, which are as deep as a dark pool. The moment you look into their eyes, you will feel fear in your heart.
Lu Sui came over.
Without looking at anyone, his gaze fell on Jiang Yueyao who was being held down by several maids, and he spoke expressionlessly.
"What have you done?"
Jiang Yueyao wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Sir, this is an injustice. I was sitting here peacefully, and this Miss Chi called me shameless. She said the bandits had been arrested, so why didn't I leave?"
"I was about to explain, but she said I was relying on my looks to seduce you."
"God knows, I have the will but not the courage to commit a crime. You know that..."
'Puchi...' Qingshu, who was following Lu Sui, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Yueyao: "Qingshu, stop laughing! Hurry and save me! My arm is about to break."
Qingshu took a step forward and kicked one of the maids to the ground.
"How dare you all be so bold! Whose power are you relying on to bully others here?"
When the servants of the Chi family saw his attitude, they hurriedly let go of their hands that were pressing on Jiang Yueyao without waiting for Miss Chi's instructions.
At this moment, Miss Chi finally came to her senses.
Her expression changed several times before she finally managed to force out what she thought was the most beautiful smile.
"My daughter Yingying greets Lord Lu."
Lu Sui raised his eyes and looked at her.
When Miss Chi saw him looking at her, her cheeks turned red and her heart beat like a deer.
She bravely met his gaze, eyes full of shame.
"My father is Chi Ping, the prefect of Chizhou. He said that you, sir, worked hard all night fighting bandits, and there is no good food at this post station, so he asked me to bring some food for you to try."
As she spoke, she motioned for the little maid carrying the food box to come forward.
The little maid came forward and put the food box on the table. Just as she was about to open it, Lu Sui spoke.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Chi. I'm not that spoiled. Take this food back and tell Lord Chi about it."
His voice was low and steady, making people feel uneasy.
Miss Chi nodded quickly: "Go ahead."
"If he has time to study my food and drink, he should spend more time on the people of Chizhou." He looked at her, his tone calm and emotionless, "Miss Chi, do you understand what I am saying?"
Miss Chi, whose cheeks were blushing because of his handsome appearance just a moment ago, now had a pale face.
She was a little unsteady on her feet and saluted hurriedly.
"My little girl...I'll remember this and tell my father right away."
After she finished speaking, she led her people away in a hurry.
As soon as they left, the post station became open again.
Jiang Yueyao rubbed her twisted arm, looking miserable.
"She's a daughter of an official family, yet she starts bullying people right away." She walked to the opposite side of Lu Sui and wanted to sit down, but when she thought of the difference in status between them, she quickly raised her eyes to look at him.
Lu Sui looked at her unhappily.
"If you want to sit down, then sit down. What are you looking at me for?"
"You are Lord Lu. How could I dare to sit down without your permission?" She sat down, picked up the teapot attentively and poured him a cup of tea.
She placed the teacup respectfully in front of him.
Lu Sui glanced at her and drank his tea slowly.
He put down the teacup and spoke.
"Jiang Yueyao, you are becoming more and more bold now, and you even dare to contradict the young lady of the prefectural government."
Jiang Yueyao was startled: "Did you hear everything just now?"
Lu Sui snorted coldly: "Sharp teeth and fangs."
"Oh, I'll take that as a compliment." Jiang Yueyao said with a playful smile, "If it were any other time, I wouldn't dare to do this even if I had ten guts, but now you're here, right? I know you'll support me."
"Where do you get your confidence from?" Lu Sui couldn't help but sneer.
"It's not that I'm confident, but I know you're a good official who always likes to help the weak and punish the wicked. I didn't do anything wrong, but she's bullying me. How can you just stand by and watch?"
"Sir, you have repeatedly helped me and saved me from danger."
"I increasingly feel that you are my god. From now on, I will no longer worship the Buddha, but you."
"Really?" Perhaps he was very pleased with the compliment, Lu Sui curled his lips slightly and glanced at her with a half-smile, "Then what are you planning to offer as tribute?"
"Ah? You still need to make offerings?"
"What else? Asking God to do something, but not willing to sacrifice your own flesh? How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
Jiang Yueyao covered her purse with her hands: "I have no money."
"Heh..." Lu Sui was so angry that he laughed.
Seeing that he turned his face away and ignored her, Jiang Yueyao was worried that she had really made him angry.
He hurriedly said, "Didn't you ask me to run the restaurant for you last time? I can earn money for you for free without paying the monthly salary."
"I said that?" Lu Sui raised his eyebrows slightly. "When did it happen?"
"No... no, sir, how can you deny it?" Jiang Yueyao said anxiously, "In Sucheng, at the inn, you said Sister Lan's cooking was delicious and very much to your liking, so you asked us to go with you to the capital and help you run the restaurant..."
"Forgot!" Lu Sui stood up and walked out.
Jiang Yueyao hurriedly followed.
"Sir—Sir Lu—I know you're angry, angry at me for being so ungrateful before, but I really had no other choice at the time. Now you've saved my life again. The only way I can repay this great kindness is to stay by your side and serve you wholeheartedly."
"I don't need it."
"No, you need it!" Jiang Yueyao followed him excitedly. "If I can't repay you, my conscience will be uneasy. My lord, please let me follow you. I can be your slave, a maid, or a concubine. As long as I can see you every day, I will have no regrets in my life."
Lu Sui stopped.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at Jiang Yueyao who was following him.
This time I was really amused.
"I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen a girl as shameless as you." He raised his hand and knocked her on the forehead, his tone unkind, "Your excuse is so high-sounding. If I don't agree, wouldn't I be betraying Miss Jiang's sincerity?"
Jiang Yueyao hurriedly smiled and patted her chest with her little hands.
"I will dedicate my wholehearted heart to you alone in this life!"
“…”
Lord Lu, who had lived for twenty-four years, was teased by a sixteen-year-old girl for the first time in his life.
He ran away.
Jiang Yueyao shouted fearlessly from behind.
"Sir, why are you blushing? It's hot. Wait for me, I'll fan you..."
