Chapter 756: Evil Slave Bullying His Master
Zhu Chuideng listened to Ye Xiaoman's question, lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Xiaoman in his arms with an interested smile. He did not answer yes or no, but only said: "I will not disregard the will of my master and do anything to harm you."
Ye Xiaoman immediately caught him by the tail and accused him: "Zhu Changgong, I only said bad things, how come you suddenly think of it as harming me? Are you really planning this?"
Zhu Chuideng was speechless after being rebuked by her.
He observed her expression and saw that her mouth was drooping unhappily, but her eyes were smiling. He couldn't figure out her mood and didn't know whether she was angry or happy.
He wanted to do his best to make her happy with every word he said, but eloquence was not his forte. In this situation, he didn't know whether he should agree with her or deliberately contradict her, so he hesitated and his words died in the air.
He smiled, lifted Ye Xiaoman's sliding body up, and held her steady.
His childish behavior amused her, and she hugged his neck tightly and smiled.
Zhu Chuideng was very tall and strong, and he easily picked her up and carried her away, as if she was just a light pendant on his body. There was an irresistible strength in his arms.
Ye Xiaoman tried hard to pry open Zhu Chuideng's arms that were holding her, but she used all her strength and failed. It was like a piece of steel. When she touched the bulging muscles, it was filled with powerful strength.
"The eldest lady's consideration is correct."
Zhu Chuideng rubbed the top of her head with his chin, and his voice was much lower than before.
"In the future, you should not leave your guards behind and follow servants to remote places alone."
Ye Xiaoman asked innocently, "Oh? What terrible thing is going to happen?"
Zhu Chuideng said, "He will be kidnapped."
Ye Xiaoman put her ear against his chest and heard the vibrations coming from deep in his chest, hitting her eardrums with a reassuring rhythm.
"A farmer and hunter like me knows every path in the forest. To possess you, I could take you away and never return, hiding in the forest forever, or crossing the mountain ahead to live in a place where no one knows us."
"If I don't want to be found, I will take you and keep walking, keep walking, erase all traces, and won't stay in one place for long."
Ye Xiaoman immediately said with disdain, "I won't give up my wealth and splendor to live an ordinary life with you. Although you can ensure that I have enough food and clothing, I am very greedy. I want jade after I have gold..."
She said, “I will definitely run.”
Zhu Chuideng said, "Can you run away now?"
He stood still under a big tree, tightened his arms slightly, and let Ye Xiaoman push his chest away with all her strength without moving an inch.
Ye Xiaoman had a slight sweat on his forehead as he looked at Zhuo blowing out the lantern. The shadows of the trees fell on his three-dimensional facial features, casting a deep shadow on one side of his nose, which inexplicably gave him a sense of darkness and mystery.
Maybe he really had planned to snatch her away when she threw him away.
Zhu Chuideng said: "It is a capital crime for an evil slave to bully his master. Since I have risked my life to possess the young lady, how could I let her escape?"
Ye Xiaoman was not afraid at all, but became excited: "You don't really want to kidnap me, do you?"
Zhu Chuideng said, "I won't."
"People are treacherous. I just want to remind Miss that this is a possibility."
Zhu Chuideng walked forward again after he finished speaking, his shoes rustling on the grass. To Ye Xiaoman, the scenery in the woods was the same. She couldn't tell for a moment whether he was simply taking her to the stream for a picnic, or heading towards the deep mountains and old forests where no one could find them.
Ye Xiaoman was very interested.
The deserted wilderness, the girl in brocade clothes and the rough man reminded her of the latest fashion of the wealthy families in the city.
The reason was that the traditional vernacular novels such as the talented scholar and the beautiful woman, the fox fairy and the poor scholar in the bookstore were not selling well, so they took a different approach and asked the writers to customize new themes. Among them, the "Pure Guard" and "Handsome Farmhand" series were very popular among ladies and rich girls, perhaps because they were close to life.
You may not necessarily meet a scheming prince or a domineering general when you go out, but you can already find guards and farmhands at home.
So for a while, the nobles were tired of their equals and had enough of the sophisticated young men of the same class, and their tastes began to turn to the simple and natural servants.
The storybooks often slander the mistress, saying that the strong farmhand has been coveting the beautiful mistress/eldest daughter of the house for a long time, so when she goes out to burn incense/collect rent/visit relatives and friends, etc., and sees that there is no one around, he reveals his ugly side to the mistress.
The nobles read it and thought, "Okay, quite a fantasy! A servant has the audacity to rebel against his superiors. It's obvious that the author has never been a master." The more bizarre the better, they immediately asked the villagers they had recruited as their concubines to act out the story as written.
Ye Xiaoman found out about it and wanted to play the role too.
She already has a handsome farmhand, and wasn't Zhu Chuideng born to entertain her?
Ye Xiaoman leaned on Zhu Chuideng's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "No matter how you try to hide it, I know you want to do something bad."
"Do you know what kind of look you have on your face right now? You want to eat me alive."
Zhu Chuideng was annoyed. He really wanted to carry her into the boudoir the first time he saw her today. Even now, he subconsciously looked for a tree for her to lean against comfortably. It was his dirty heart.
Ye Xiaoman's voice turned cold and she ordered, "Put me down."
Zhu Chuideng did as he was told.
Ye Xiaoman stood in front of him, folded her arms, and looked at him with her pointed chin raised.
"Who allowed you to act on your own?"
"Did I ask you to go home today?"
The two looked at each other, Ye Xiaoman had no expression on her face, and raised her hand to slap him.
"Have I given you permission to look me in the eye?"
A red mark appeared on the side of Zhu Chuideng's face. He tilted his head and there was confusion in his eyes.
He looked at Ye Xiaoman in a daze, still without a trace of resentment. Ye Xiaoman retracted her hand, and he asked gently, "Did it hurt?"
Ye Xiaoman took a step back in fear.
"Zhuchanggong, are you angry with me?"
Zhu Chuideng said, "I'm not angry."
Ye Xiaoman insisted: "Your expression is terrible, you are obviously angry."
Zhu Chuideng was puzzled. At this moment, he noticed that Ye Xiaoman was hunching her shoulders pitifully, but her eyes were bright and looking at him expectantly.
Zhu Chuideng understood immediately.
Ye Xiaoman came up with another funny bad idea.
But she never says what she really thinks. She will hint, instigate, and order others to do bad things. When she gets what she wants and the truth is revealed, she will stare with innocent eyes and say "I am also a victim", putting all the blame on others.
This may be because she is born evil and likes to play tricks on people, and loves to watch others being fooled by her; or it may be her little wisdom in survival, always putting herself in the safest position.
