Chapter 58 The Eight-Bearer Sedan Chair (4)
Lin Chujiu suddenly thought of a way out!
Looking at the lady's hand so close to hers, she forced herself to shout, overcoming her fear:
"Mother, I am being filial to you, otherwise I wouldn't have refused you!"
The woman's ferocious expression froze for a moment, then she stopped her choking motion and asked, "What?"
Lin Chujiu glanced at the lady's hand hovering in mid-air, subtly took a step back, and replied:
"I also want to listen to you and go see Young Master Zhou, but if I meet with another man in secret and get blamed, it won't just be me who will suffer, but you too."
The lady's expression showed a brief moment of confusion.
Lin Chujiu felt cold sweat pouring down her forehead. She took a deep breath and then coaxed him gently:
"I know you mean well, but if my father finds out, he'll definitely think you've disgraced the Lin family and punish you!"
"Mother, you don't want Father to blame you, do you?"
After a few words, Lin Chujiu carefully observed the lady's expression and found that her expression had softened and the veins on her face were slowly receding.
As if suddenly realizing something, she murmured to herself:
"I'll lose face, I'll be blamed by the master, I absolutely cannot be blamed by the master!"
As she spoke, the expression on her face gradually returned to calm. Then, ignoring Lin Chujiu on the ground, she walked out with an empty look in her eyes.
Lin Chujiu didn't dare to breathe loudly. After seeing her walk out, she finally managed to stand up with support and limped to the bedside to sit down.
She touched her forehead and found it was already soaked in cold sweat.
The viewers in the live stream were filled with astonishment when they witnessed what had just happened.
[Holy crap, what did Jiu Jiu just do? She just left after saying that one sentence?]
[My God, how come the lady suddenly stopped having an attack as soon as the master was mentioned? And then she just passed away like that?]
Although I didn't understand it, I still think my daughter is amazing!
[I think I understand a little now. The rule says that the husband is the head of the household, and this rule not only applies to Jiu Jiu, but also to the wife.]
But how did Jiu Jiu discover that the master was so concerned about his image?
Lin Chujiu knew that some viewers in the live stream might be confused by her behavior, so she explained softly:
"Although Rule 1 mentions that players need to listen to their parents, everyone knows that rules are not static, and every seemingly intractable rule has its own way out."
Rule Six states that the husband is the head of the household, and this rule is not only required to be followed by the players.
We can see during dinner that the wife always puts the husband first and emphasizes the importance of respecting the male members of the family. This shows that we can use this rule to control the wife.
As for why it was clear the master valued his reputation, it was because during dinner, when the mistress asked the young master to examine Miss Zhou's feet, the master mentioned that he should restrain himself and not lose face. This clearly shows how concerned he was with his image.
After listening to Lin Chujiu's analysis, the audience suddenly understood.
My Jiu Jiu is amazing!
[Jiu Jiu is so smart, she even remembers the details of dinner so clearly]
I used to think our Jiu Jiu was a silly beauty, but I never expected her to be so smart!
Thus, a trending topic about Lin Chujiu was born.
[#The seemingly silly beauty we thought was actually not a little silly at all#]
Lin Chujiu, having survived two dungeons, is no longer a newcomer.
She made it onto the pure and simple trending topics list, competing with countless horror streamers, and it can be said that she has gained a place in the horror live streaming world.
Lin Chujiu, who was in the room, recalled the red light in the eyes of the madam when she came over that night, and felt inexplicably strange.
She had seen the same red light in the eyes of the pig demon in the first instance.
It's like the peculiar mutation state of the supernatural beings.
Startled, she didn't have time to think too much and went to bed early.
I'm going to see that young master from the Zhou family tomorrow.
Um, and that lady too.
I don't know where the people who participated in the dungeon with me are.
Lin Chujiu fell into a deep sleep, filled with doubt.
————
The Zhou family.
It was a lively and festive occasion, but there was one thing that was different.
Zhou Ruoruo tore off the foot bindings and looked at her deformed feet with annoyance.
She turned her head to look at the man leaning against the window, her voice soft and coquettish:
"Ah Yu, do you have any way to fix my feet? Walking like this is so uncomfortable~"
The man withdrew his gaze from the evening crows outside the window and landed indifferently on Zhou Ruoruo.
He said calmly:
"No, I've already helped you alleviate the pain from foot binding. If I remove this condition, you're very likely to be discovered."
Zhou Ruoruo looked displeased when she heard his refusal:
"No way! These feet are so ugly, I can't even walk steadily!"
With teary eyes, she continued coquettishly:
"Ah Yu, I have to go to the Lin family tomorrow. My legs will really hurt from getting in and out of the sedan chair. Please help me out!"
As she spoke, she even lifted her foot to show Pei Yu.
Pei Yu's gaze fell on her feet for a moment, then he looked away indifferently.
He stopped talking to Zhou Ruoruo and instead looked out the window at the sky.
Zhou Ruoruo was furious when she saw that he was ignoring her again.
But then, as if remembering something, her eyes darted around, and her expression suddenly turned tearful.
The viewers in her live stream felt extremely sorry for her when they saw her like this.
[Pei the Ghost Doctor is so cold-hearted! Look how much Ruoruo is crying!]
[Yeah, so what if Ruoruo doesn't like these feet? Can't we change them for her?]
[That's not right. Doctor Pei also said he was afraid of being discovered by the strange things outside, and he had already helped alleviate Ruoruo's pain.]
Yes, Doctor Pei definitely loves Ruoruo, but men are proud, so he shouldn't just tell Ruoruo directly. We need Ruoruo to take the initiative.
Am I the only one who thinks she doesn't even bother with the formalities, showing a complete lack of professionalism as a streamer? [doge emoji for protection]
Who do you think you are, daring to question Ruoruo? Are you tired of living?
Zhou Ruoruo lay on the bed, watching the comments in the live stream, and smiled smugly.
She wasn't restricted to only three live streams in the horror live stream room because Pei Yu gave her a lot of ghost coins, which she used to buy many live stream rights.
With a flick of her finger across the screen, she kicked out the viewer who said she lacked professionalism.
Zhou Ruoruo glanced at Pei Yu and said shyly:
"Don't blame Doctor Pei. He has already helped me a lot. He just wanted me to have a better experience with the supernatural tales."
If Ruoruo wants to go to sleep, let's stop here for today.
I'm going to the Lin family's house tomorrow, so you all absolutely have to watch my live stream tomorrow!
After saying these words, she turned off the live stream, lay down on the bed, and recalled that figure from her memory.
That pretty girl, that bitch who drives her crazy with jealousy.
What should she do when they meet again?
