He shook it again before hanging it on the bamboo pole.
Seeing the strangely familiar undergarment hanging on the bamboo pole, Lü Qiao's mind went blank for a moment. She darted over and ripped the undergarment off the bamboo pole.
"How...how could you..."
Her face was red and hot, and she was very angry.
She said that these clothes looked so familiar, and it turned out that they were all her dresses.
He not only washed her outer garment, but he also washed her inner lining and then calmly hung it out to dry.
She was both angry and anxious, staring at him in disbelief.
Seeing her reaction, Si Yi didn't seem to care much. "I saw your clothes when I was washing the laundry, so I washed them too." As he spoke, he bent down and picked up another garment from the wooden basin.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao quickly snatched it away.
"You don't need to wash my clothes or hang them out to dry."
She said, extremely annoyed.
What's this?
Are the two of them that close?
Si glanced at the underpants she had snatched, his handsome face suddenly burning. He said awkwardly, "Those are mine, why did you take them?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao's eyelashes trembled, as if she had picked up a hot potato, and she quickly threw it back into his hand.
Then he quickly went to retrieve the clothes he had hung out to dry on the bamboo pole.
Si Yi straightened his underpants, hung them on a bamboo pole, and then looked at her leisurely.
"What are you panicking about? It's not like you haven't washed me before. I'm washing you this time, it's just returning the favor."
Lü Qiao said, "That's different. Your hand was seriously injured at the time, which made it inconvenient. Moreover, it was because you saved me that your injury worsened. It's only right that I wash it for you."
“Nothing is different.” Si Yi frowned.
Lü Qiao ignored him and carefully gathered all her clothes into her arms. Then, with her eyes lowered, she said, "But no matter what, thank you for washing my clothes." After saying that, she ran out of his courtyard with her soaking wet clothes in her arms.
However, she did not expect that she would run into Wang Houde, who was about to enter, as soon as she ran out of the courtyard gate.
"Huh, Lü Qiao?" Wang Houde looked at her suspiciously, then at what she was holding. "What are you holding? Why is it dripping water?"
Feeling quite embarrassed, Lü Qiao quickly tightened the dress in her arms and said calmly, "It's nothing." Then she hurried away.
"That's weird," Wang Houde muttered as he entered Si Yi's courtyard.
"Si Yi, Lu Qiao just ran out of your yard." Wang Houde approached Si Yi with interest as he saw him standing in the yard.
Si glanced at him, turned around, took his sword and a piece of cloth, sat on the steps, and gently wiped them.
"So what?" he said indifferently.
Seeing his reaction, Wang Houde became somewhat uncertain.
"Why are you so calm? I thought you and that girl Lü Qiao were up to something."
Si Yi glanced at him and said, "Can't you think about anything serious?"
Wang Houde sat down next to him and said earnestly, "No girl will want to marry you if you're so serious."
"You're certainly not serious, but is it of any use?" Si Yi said, suddenly glancing at his crotch.
Wang Houde: "..."
He felt offended.
"What do you mean?" Realizing what he meant, he said angrily, his face flushed.
Si Yi snorted coldly, "Think about it yourself." With that, he got up and left the courtyard.
Wang Houde stared at his departing figure and actually thought about it seriously.
Thinking of something, he got up dejectedly.
So what if others think he's a eunuch?
He'd be happy to be a eunuch!
After lunch, Wen Nongnong wanted to go for a stroll around Xiangzhou City with Gu Linchao. Just as they arrived at the front yard, they suddenly ran into Steward Wang, who was hurrying to the back yard.
Upon seeing Gu Linchao, he immediately stepped forward.
"Your Highness, Prefect Chen of Xiangzhou requests an audience."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao said calmly, "Please go to the front hall. I will be there shortly."
"Yes." Butler Wang respectfully withdrew.
Wen Nongnong glanced at Gu Linchao's expression and asked softly, "Whose man is this Lord Chen?"
She asked this question because the entire Xiangzhou was under the jurisdiction of Gu Linchao. In Xiangzhou, he was the highest-ranking official, and the prefects and magistrates below him all had to listen to him.
Moreover, Gu Heng shouldn't have extended his hand in such a short period of time.
Speaking of Lord Chen, a rare smile appeared on Gu Linchao's face as he said calmly, "This Lord Chen is a man of integrity. He doesn't belong to anyone; he only does what he believes is right."
Wen Nongnong was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
She rarely heard him praise others.
And Lord Chen was one of them.
“People like that would have a hard time getting by in officialdom, wouldn’t they?” Wen Nongnong said.
Gu Linchao nodded. "You're right. Chen Mubai comes from a poor family and has no backing or background. But he's also a stubborn person who refuses to bow down and admit defeat. He doesn't know how to flatter or fawn. So when he first entered officialdom, he was almost harmed by someone."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong's heart stirred slightly, and she hugged his arm, saying, "Was it Your Highness who saved him?"
"I only spoke up for him," Gu Linchao said, downplaying the issue.
Wen Nong Nong knew that his words were like an imperial edict.
Clearly, Chen Mubai was saved because of one sentence he uttered.
"Then why would he serve in the prince's fiefdom?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao raised his hand and patted her head. "That's right, I'm the one who transferred him here. Chen Mubai has indeed not disappointed; in just a few years, he has governed Xiangzhou very well."
