Chapter 312
Chapter 312
It is worth mentioning that some people who should not have left left, while some people who should have left stayed.
For example, the second young master, Pei Feiming.
Another example...Chu Yiyi.
The child returned home dejectedly. As soon as he entered the yard and saw what was happening, he was horrified.
A scary girl was sitting on her sturdy little stool, holding her lovely big pumpkin, and her hands were still touching it again and again.
Pumpkin lay on her legs, resting his head on her arms, gurgling and squinting his eyes. He must have been so scared that he had to pretend to be nice to her.
What a poor pumpkin.
"You..." Put it down!
The child took two steps forward and just uttered a word when Aunt Yu came out from the kitchen at the door, holding a pot of tea and a plate of snacks. Seeing her, she said with surprise:
"Hey, girl, you're back. I thought it would take a long time, but it's good that you're back. Your friend is here."
"My friend is here?" The child froze in disbelief and turned to look at the courtyard. "Are you talking about her?"
"Yeah, didn't you both work at Prince Jia's Mansion before? You're almost like friends, right?"
Aunt Yu looked at the child suspiciously, noticing her shock and resistance, but she didn't think of it as a life-and-death struggle at all. She just thought they had some conflicts, bad relationships, or were unfamiliar with each other.
I was wondering why the child, who loved to talk so much, had never mentioned such a person.
Maybe we met on the road.
But even if they have a bad relationship and are not familiar with each other, it is not good to be too rude if someone comes to her house. It would be even better if she can turn enemies into friends.
Her daughter no longer works in the palace, but this guy is still serving as a guard for the second young master.
Aunt Yu still walked over enthusiastically and put down some snacks and tea, inviting Chu Yiyi to eat.
The child followed with his whole body tense, only to feel as if something was being fed into a dog's mouth.
If I had known she was coming, I should have bought some rat poison. Now there is nothing I can do to harm her.
"Thank you, Auntie." Chu Yiyi's serious face, which seemed frozen and unable to show many expressions, softened slightly, revealing a slightly shy smile.
The children who saw this suspected that they were blind or too sad about the separation to distinguish between crying and happiness.
Aunt Yu had no idea how terrifying she was and was still smiling: "Miss Chu, you don't have to be polite. Just treat it as your own home. My daughter doesn't have many friends, and even fewer come to visit. You are the first one. If you are not busy, you can have lunch here at noon."
"She..." is not free!
The child was interrupted before he could finish his words.
Chu Yiyi: "Thank you for your help."
The child glared at me: How shameless of you!
Chu Yiyi didn't understand what she meant: Why is she looking at me?
"It's no trouble, no trouble. If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, just tell me and I can prepare it."
"I don't have any dietary restrictions. Home-cooked meals are fine. Sweet and sour fish is even better. I don't need to bother with anything else."
Chu Yiyi was not polite and ordered it.
The child is even more angry!
Aunt Yu continued, "That's easy. I'll just use the fish you brought. If you don't have any other dietary restrictions, I can make some meatball soup and stir-fry some seasonal vegetables, okay?"
"It could not be better."
"Okay, you guys chat slowly, I'll be there soon."
Aunt Yu said this and walked away without even looking at the child. She picked up her basket and went out in a hurry to buy vegetables.
Child: Why doesn’t she ask me what I want to eat?
Child: Chu Yiyi also brought fish?
"What are you planning? Are you trying to harm me? Did you poison the fish? Don't hold my cat! It'll be scared!"
The child snatched the poor Pumpkin back, and the gurgling sound stopped immediately. Pumpkin struggled to break free from her arms, jumped back, turned around on Chu Yiyi, climbed down again, and gurgled again.
Child:……
Child:……
Child:!
"You even drugged my cat! What kind of magic potion is this?"
"Why would I need medicine? My mother had thirty-seven cats when she was alive, so I've been well versed in the art of petting cats since I was a child. I can use my skills to bring joy to both humans and cats, so it's no surprise that it likes me."
Chu Yiyi became serious again, her tone as flat as a dummy, but the child could still hear a hint of pride in it.
The cat-squeezing method...
"It's just random touching, what's the big deal?"
Chu Yiyi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and glanced sideways: "Hmph~"
What the hell is she humming?
Look at her arrogant look.
What a big deal.
Pumpkin is such a clueless cat!!!
The child grew increasingly furious: "What on earth are you doing here?"
Chu Yiyi: "Apologize."
"Ah?" The child's head was full of doubts.
Chu Yiyi said slowly, "I took the medicine and remembered a lot of things. I've been particularly clear-headed lately. I shouldn't have killed you, but I was trapped in my obsession at the time, so I was inevitably biased in my judgment of others."
Child:……
My heart is wavering between belief and disbelief.
"How to compensate?"
"I gave you a fish and two pounds of meat."
“…I’m a vegetarian.”
"And a bag of snacks."
The child's eyes fell on the small table beside her. The tea was brewed by Aunt Yu, and half of the snacks were made by Aunt Yu, but the other half looked unfamiliar.
If her guess was correct, the fish would become sweet and sour fish, the meat would become meatball soup, and she would have already eaten the snack. Was it that the child didn't understand, or was it just a fashionable way to apologize nowadays?
“Don’t look at me, I need to take medicine and I’m short of money.
I killed you once, and logically it should be a life for a life, but my family feud has not been avenged, so I cannot give you my life.
I can help you kill someone, but that is against the law. Although Prince Jia is no longer around, his kindness still remains. If I break the law, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the palace.
I want to be your slave, but a servant cannot serve two masters. My master is the Second Young Master, and I cannot be loyal to you while he is still around.
After much thought, this is the only way."
She was almost talking about how shameless she was.
The child was speechless for a moment.
She remembered something and took out a bag of paper money from her bosom: "This is to apologize to the ghost. I don't know his name, so you can burn it for me.
This thing is not expensive, I should buy more, but you don’t live alone, so it’s not good to bring a bunch of paper money when you first come to your house. I’ll give it to you next time.
Also, I can see that the ghost hasn't harmed anyone before, but he's harboring resentment, so it's inevitable that he'll harm people in the future. You'd better restrain him, or I'll never let you go."
She also said something harsh.
Naturally, the angry child felt weak all over.
Oh...why is she arguing with a madman?
The child was as cold as a coffin lid, smoothing out all expression on his face. "Are you done? If you're done, get out of here and put the cat down."
Chu Yiyi: "It should be so."
She sat still.
The child waved his hands: "As it should be, then you go away."
"I've already promised that lady to stay here for dinner. I can't go back on my word. It would hurt the old lady's feelings if I wasted my time."
She said seriously.
Child:……
