Chapter 167 Ask you a question
"I was wrong, I was wrong! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ah Fu was so scared that he didn't dare to continue.
If the young master really misunderstood how he treated Prime Minister Xu, he might not see the sun tomorrow.
"If you really feel sorry for me, go find me some Kong Dao Talismans." Xu Chuchu whispered again, "I'll take you with me when I run away so that you won't be punished. How about that?"
Ah Fu continued to wave his hands: "Master Xu, please don't embarrass me. I really don't dare."
Xu Chuchu also guessed that he would have this reaction. It was impossible for a master and servant of many years to be turned so easily.
"Then where is my umbrella?" she asked again.
"Oh, I can't take this either..." Ah Fu said with a sad face, "Master has instructed that you can't take anything related to physiognomists!"
"I'm just asking, I didn't ask you to give it to me!" Xu Chuchu pinched the big orange furry head hard, "The Floating Life Umbrella is a high-level magic weapon. It can instantly kill everything in its path and double your magic power. It's very precious. You must keep it well and don't let it get eaten by insects."
Ah Fu wondered if such a high-end item could be infested by insects, but he said, "Don't worry. Your old belongings are all stored in the warehouse in the east wing. It's dry and well-ventilated there, and it's cleaned every once in a while, so they won't get infested with insects."
"That's good." Xu Chuchu pulled Daju's ear again and took her hand back.
The more Ah Fu talked, the more he felt something was wrong. Although he couldn't figure out what was wrong, he didn't dare to continue.
He took two steps back and said, "I'll leave first. The two maids will be back soon. It's not good for us to talk alone."
"Then remember to take good care of my cat!" Xu Chuchu shouted hurriedly, "Don't let it poop in the cage all the time, it stinks!"
"I know, I know!" Ah Fu said, and trotted out of the yard with the cat in his hand.
Xu Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief.
…
In the evening, Xiao Yu did not show up, so she did not return to the cage and sat alone in the room to have dinner.
Hearing the maid's intermittent voice coming from outside the door, she immediately pricked up her ears and paid attention.
"Oh, why hasn't the young master come back yet? It's already dark." A maid said, "We can't rest until he comes back."
Another maid said, "Forget it, stop talking. It takes a long time to serve the Madam here, but it's relaxing. I don't have to do any dirty or tiring work."
Madam... Xu Chuchu listened and silently tore a piece of chicken wing. How could there be a madam as lowly as her?
However, she could understand the maid's complaints. The rule here was that when Xiao Yu was there, no one was needed to guard the door, and when he was not there, the maid was asked to guard the door.
In the first few days, Xiao Yu stayed by her side almost from morning to night. Since they had a big fight that day, he started to go out early and come back late, and the maid's working hours more than doubled.
"...But I just heard that the young master has returned, but he didn't go back to the bedroom. He went directly to the main hall to entertain the guests."
"Are there guests at home?"
"Hush." The maid lowered her voice, "I heard that someone from Shao Mansion came. He's been coming here frequently recently."
"Shao Mansion? Yes, that Shao Mansion?"
"Which other Shao Mansion could there be? Do you think there will be a new wife? The one we are guarding has never been given a title."
I wish I could. Xu Chuchu spat out the chicken bones.
"It seems like you are very free?" A deep male voice suddenly appeared outside the door.
"Master is back!" "Master, we know we were wrong!"
"Go down, and don't let me hear you talking nonsense again."
When Xu Chuchu heard this, she put down her chopsticks and hid back in her cage.
Now the cage is no longer used to imprison her, but has become her shelter.
But it was too late.
"Chu Chu, you're out!" Xiao Yu was surprised to see this when he entered the room.
He took two steps forward and saw Xu Chuchu retreating continuously, so he quickly stopped.
"Just keep eating." He stood aside. "I won't get close to you."
Seeing Xiao Yu's submissive look, and remembering how he had treated her like a plaything and desecrated her a while ago, Xu Chuchu felt annoyed and finished her meal in no time.
"I'm sorry, Chuchu, I couldn't have dinner with you." Xiao Yu explained softly, "The Shao family's Patriarch and the old lady came over, and I was entertaining them just now."
After Xiao Yu came back, the room began to be filled with the smell of alcohol, and Xu Chuchu knew that he had been drinking again.
Xiao Yu can drink a lot, but ever since he lost control of himself while drinking in the palace last time, Xu Chuchu has been reluctant to see him drink.
"Do you know why they want to see me?" Xiao Yu didn't pay attention to Xu Chuchu's silence and continued, "They are here to propose marriage. They want to match me with Miss Shao."
Xu Chuchu packed up the dishes and went back to the Magic Cage.
She could guess what Shao Zhi was thinking with her feet. She must have not seen her around Xiao Yu these days, so she felt that there was another opportunity and asked the elders to do the work.
I really don't know what's in her mind. She always wants to jump into the fire pit.
"Chu Chu!" Xiao Yu shouted unwillingly from behind, "Don't you care about my attitude?"
"You'd better agree." Xu Chuchu finally said, "Hurry up and marry Shao Zhi home. She loves you deeply and will definitely be willing to go to jail with you. She's much better than me."
Xiao Yu took two steps closer and said bluntly, "I rejected you on the spot. Are you happy?"
Xu Chuchu opened the cage silently and still did not answer.
Xiao Yu grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and held her waist tightly: "Why don't you care, Chuchu! Aren't you worried at all that I might be with another girl? When will you understand how I feel! That kind of fear... I dare not even close my eyes, afraid that if I open them again you will be gone!"
"You promised not to touch me." Xu Chuchu responded coldly.
Xiao Yu froze, then slowly and dejectedly let go of his hand.
"If you don't care, I thought you would at least be happy."
Xu Chuchu took a deep breath: "Actually, Xiao Yu, I have always wanted to ask you a question."
"You ask."
"You like me and don't want to let me go, is it because I'm the only girl you can touch without getting sick?"
