Chapter 15
Wu Da and Wu Xiao were mortified by Hei Gan. They had no idea of corpse servants but it was an evil thing to control people's life.
Wu Ruo took the slats and stuffed them into his sleeve where there was a shadow s.p.a.ce that no one else could find. And then he thanked Hei Gan sincerely, "thank you."
Since Hei Xuanyi let him take in charge of the jade life slats, it suggested that he wouldn't interfere with his life. Wu Ruo really appreciated that Hei Xuanyi didn't mean to manipulate him.
"The low-level corpse servants can only do simple ch.o.r.es such as house cleaning. Medium servants are no different from normal person. They can do whatever you order them." Hei Gan introduced the four medium corpse servants to Wu Ruo, "here they are, s.h.i.+ Yi, s.h.i.+ Yuan, s.h.i.+ You, and s.h.i.+ Jiu."
"At your service, my lady." The four servants bowed to Wu Ruo immediately.
"Right now, I need to take a bath and change my clothes." Wu Ruo said.
s.h.i.+ Yuan asked the low servants to prepare warm water.
After Wu Ruo finished, he was carried by low servants to the front yard and had breakfast with Hei Xuanyi.
He sat down by the table full of dishes and said, "what a breakfast!"
He used to have white steamed bread with white porridge, or green
He Xin who was waiting at the table got the hint between the lines, and asked, "you don't like the breakfast these days?"
Wu Ruo gave it a thought and asked, "was the breakfast in the last two days supposed to be so fancy as today?"
"Yes."
Wu Ruo immediately realized that his meals were swapped. It was not hard to guess by whom.
To be honest, he was really stupid last life. It took him years to find out his meal was swapped. He even a.s.sumed that it was the butler or servants who were behind these because they didn't like him.
Ahah!
Wu Da, Wu Xiao, how dare you!
How dare you swap their own food for mine!
Wu Ruo's eyes got cold and started to eat.
Hei Xin was good at reading minds. He could guess what happened even though it was a short answer and question. However, it was not his place to meddle with his ladys.h.i.+p's life. After Wu Ruo went back to backyard after breakfast, he handed over the betrothal gift list to him.
It was a long list. There were various gifts on it. With just one simple glance, Wu Ruo could tell someone had taken a small amount of them. He hadn't had noticed it because those gifts were not delivered to Shuqing Yard and also there were so many of them, too many to be noticed even though someone picked up some on the sly.
He put down the gift list expressionlessly. When he made sure that Wu Da and Wu Xiao were not nearby, he whispered to s.h.i.+ Jiu, "go get two girls. They have to be good-looking and physically fit. And they have to know how to please men. And…"
He lowered his voice even more. s.h.i.+jiu nodded along and left the house with the money Wu Ruo gave him.
Wu Ruo picked up the gift list and folded it up slowly bit by bit, as if he was warning himself not to get anxious and that he had to make a perfect plan to take revenge.
He put the folded list in his shadow s.p.a.ce. Once he was done, Hei Xin walked in, "my lady, if you will excuse me, please move to the yard. We need to tear the wall down to make the bedroom and the other room as one room so that we can get a bigger bed for you."
Before his master was married, they had already known that he was going to marry someone big. And they actually made a bed as wide as seven feet. But they didn't antic.i.p.ate it was still not big enough.
"…" Wu Ruo.
