"Follow him," Jiuchen pointed with his chin at a young man in plain clothes walking towards them, "He will take you to where you will live next."

Finding that the other party was going to hand him over to someone else, Su Changzhao stepped forward and grabbed Jiuchen's arm:

"Wait a minute, no sir...you haven't punished the slave yet."

I'm still waiting to get the contracted doll. Once you leave, where can I find the contracted doll?

As soon as everyone heard her self-proclaimed name, they knew she was a puppet.

The young man in plain clothes was obviously startled. He looked up at Su Changzhao cautiously, then looked at his noble master who was looking at Su Changzhao tenderly in disbelief.

Their Lord Jiuchen actually brought back a doll today? !

In shock, his eyes moved downward.

He discovered that Su Changzhao's claws were still grabbing Jiuchen's arm, and his originally meticulous sleeves were now wrinkled.

Seeing this, the young man in plain clothes couldn't help but swallow.

Lord Jiuchen, who never liked being touched, was not angry at all. This was unbelievable! !

The young man in plain clothes pinched his thigh subconsciously, and it was quite hard.

Only when I felt the pain did I barely believe that I was not dreaming.

At the same time.

Jiuchen stared at Su Changzhao's beautiful face full of eagerness, then looked at the arm she was holding. Strangely enough, he didn't feel the slightest bit of disgust. On the contrary... he had an urge to be held by her all the time.

However, when she thought about how they had only known each other for a short time and she had come up with such an idea, she felt timid.

Originally, I should have refused, but when the words came to my lips, they turned into, "After you settle down, come to Wuque Pavilion to find me."

The voice was deep and slow, and he left gracefully after he finished speaking.

When Su Changzhao heard that they could meet again, he stopped pestering the other person.

After watching the other person leave, she followed the plain-clothed young man to her residence.

The young man in plain clothes kindly introduced the advantages of this house to her.

Su Changzhao half-listened, looked around, and asked casually, "Is this place far from your residence?"

“……” The young man in plain clothes was stunned when he heard this.

But when she thought of Su Changzhao's identity as a puppet and her plan, her face immediately turned red.

“Ah, this… this…”

"..." Su Changzhao saw his strange reaction and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Your face is suddenly so red? And your ears are also..."

He discovered that Su Changzhao was approaching, especially because she was very beautiful, more beautiful than any other woman he had ever seen. Even Lord Jiuchen couldn't resist her, so how could he be able to withstand it?

The young man in plain clothes quickly stepped back a distance.

That speed... made Su Changzhao couldn't help but suspect that what she stretched out was not a hand, but a gun. She turned her wrist and looked at it with a suspicious look.

It’s the hand, that’s right.

My hands aren't dirty or black, so even if you're a germaphobe, you wouldn't stay so far away, right?

Just when she was feeling confused and dissatisfied, she saw the plain-clothed young man said quickly with displeasure:

"It is said that beautiful dolls are good at bewitching people. Since you have followed Master Jiuchen, I hope you will respect yourself."

Su Changzhao: Is this... a compliment?

No, what is meant by bewitching people? Still respecting yourself? Don't make it sound like she did something, it's easy to be misunderstood, young man.

She was just about to find the other party to have a good talk with him, this idea...must be corrected.

But the next second, the other party quickly ran to the door, as if afraid of being hurt by her.

"If...if the room is OK, follow me to Wuque Pavilion now. Don't keep the master waiting for too long."

Su Chang felt like he had become a jackal or tiger for no reason, and he was furious. "I..."

Later, seeing that the other party was so scared that he didn't even dare to look at him, Su Changzhao was so annoyed by this kid that he lost all his temper.

Let out a long breath.

Considering that she was going to meet the brother and that getting the contract doll back was more important, she suppressed her unhappiness and followed him away without caring about it.

After a moment.

Su Changzhao was led to a white jade-carved door. The young man in plain clothes who led the way reported to the inside of the door, "Sir, the person has been brought here."

A familiar warm voice soon came from inside the door: "Let her in."

Hearing this, the young man opened the door for Su Changzhao, and moved aside, motioning for her to come in.

Su Changzhao stepped into the door.

What comes into view is a landscape screen similar to the entrance, and behind it is a lotus pond with clear water visible to the bottom——

The pond was made of white marble, and the water was clear and blue. Golden carps swam freely in it. As if they had discovered her strange face, some of them immediately hid under the lotus leaves, causing ripples on the surface of the pond.

Su Changzhao withdrew his gaze and soon fell on the man in white at the end.

As he got closer, if the other person had not been wearing a mask and Su Changzhao had not known his identity, he would have mistaken him for Ah Heng.

This body shape and temperament... are really similar~~

When he came up to the other person, Su Changzhao looked up at him in a daze, "Sir, why are you wearing a mask?"

Jiuchen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he turned around and said, "Aren't you here to take the punishment?"

Seeing that the other party deliberately changed the subject, Su Changzhao immediately calmed down.

Yes, she came all the way here just to get the original owner's contract doll.

Every puppet born in Wazi has a contract puppet, and as long as the owner holds the contract puppet, she cannot disobey.

The original owner became a high-level doll by virtue of her beauty. Naturally, there is such a thing as a contract doll. When she was bought, the thing was handed over to the person who bought her.

Looking at the man in white walking away to the side of the low table, Su Changzhao hurriedly followed him.

Seeing the other person sit down, she immediately and skillfully poured him a cup of tea.

On the opposite side, the clear eyes under the mask were watching her every move.

Perhaps because of this reason, he couldn't hold the teacup.

As soon as my fingertips loosened, I saw the teacup was about to fall on me.

Su Changzhao caught the teacup with one hand in a flash, without spilling even a drop of tea.

Jiuchen smiled, "Good reaction."

Su Changzhao didn't pay much attention to his praise. He put the teacup back on the table with both hands and said expressionlessly, "Please punish me, sir."

Seeing her like this, Jiuchen had no choice but to speak out the words he had prepared long ago.

"Every day at the hour of Yin, go to the pond to collect lotus dew, then go to the storehouse to get a jar of ten-year-old snow water, mix them together, boil them, and brew them into tea."

Su Changzhao was stunned, "Just... like this?"

"Yeah." Jiuchen nodded slowly. It was obvious that Su Changzhao was stunned. He couldn't help but think: Am I making it too difficult for her?

He had heard servants complain privately about the difficulties of collecting lotus dew, but since it was a punishment, such difficulties were necessary.

So no longer soft-hearted.

"Can't you do it?" he asked.

Su Changzhao thought to himself, what I want is for you to take out the contract doll, but you asked me to make tea for you. You are really cautious.

Saying, "I can do it~"

Su Changzhao smiled on her pretty face.

Seeing that she seemed very satisfied, Jiuchen said nothing more.

So.

In the next few days, Su Changzhao ran to collect lotus dew before dawn.

I thought it was just using a small bottle to scrape off the dew, what was so difficult about that?

But after doing it, she found that it was far from as simple as she thought.

The climate in the region is warm and humid.

Dew forms in a short time, and it can be said that it has almost evaporated by daybreak.

The key point is that the young man in plain clothes came to remind her the day before, saying that the ratio of lotus dew to snow water should be at least one to two, which means that at least three small bottles of lotus dew should be collected.

So this is what he does.

In order to prevent the host from noticing the difference, she had to follow the previous standards and not make any mistakes.

In the first two days, Su Changzhao worked from dawn to dawn and barely collected more than two bottles and less than three bottles.

Fortunately, after drinking it, my 'brother' didn't seem to notice the difference.

But on the fourth day, Su Changzhao began to feel troubled as she looked at the less than half bottle of lotus dew in her hand. There was very little dew today. Apart from this half bottle, there was only one full bottle on her waist, and the other was empty.

Looking at the lotus flowers in the pond that she had collected cleanly.

She was speechless.

What the hell is going on?

It’s over, it’s over. If you fail to complete the mission, you will definitely be punished.

Thinking of this, she immediately realized.

"No, I just want to be punished~"

She looked at the half bottle of He Lu in her hand and was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

She was angry with herself.

For so many days, she felt like she was stupid.

It was clearly a ready-made opportunity, but she didn't notice it.

If you want the other party to take out the contract doll, why not just make him angry? Why do you have to do things perfectly?

Thinking of this, she smiled sinisterly and poured out all the peach dew in her hand.

She even came up with a plan to make the other party so angry that she would take out the contract doll to torture her...
