Chapter 1122 Extra: Cen Che and Shi Anrou (1)
Willow catkins are sprouting, and it is the season when all things are restless.
Bao Ping came over happily to announce, "Miss, thank you Fourth Master for visiting. He was so thoughtful, he came all the way here to buy you the glutinous rice cakes you love."
Shi Anrou's heart was as solid as a rock, unmoved. She lowered her head to embroider and said, "Go ask him why he came to visit."
Bao Ping was puzzled and anxious, "Miss, why don't you invite him in to sit down?"
Shi Anrou then raised her head and looked at Baoping, "Hey, do you really want him to come in and sit with you?"
Bao Ping's face flushed immediately, and she said in panic, "No, no. I was just thinking, thinking, such a handsome young man, you... you don't..."
Shi Anrou slammed the embroidery frame into the basket, causing several silver needles to jump high in the air. "You're such a good girl, Baoping! I just hired you to be a first-class maid for two days, and you've already forgotten how much you weigh. How dare you control your master? You don't deserve it!"
Sure enough, she still has trouble judging people.
Why is it that the maids under Xia'er's command are so caring and protective of their master, but when it comes to her, all the maids want to be her master?
Bao Ping was terrified. She fell to her knees with a thud, kowtowed and begged, "Miss, spare my life! I won't do it again!" But her eyes were rolling around secretly, and she cursed in her heart, "You old maid! You deserve to be unmarried for the rest of your life!"
Before he could finish his curse, he heard the girl coldly call the steward over. Her voice was like a knife tempered with ice. "Go! Bring her the deed and ask the matchmaker to take her away immediately. No matter how much silver she paid for it, you can sell her off today. Out of sight, out of mind!"
The steward had the crying Baoping dragged away.
All the servants in the mansion were shocked when they saw this, and they all became quiet. Even those who were impatient and irritable calmed down.
The master has strong means, which is a blessing for those who work hard.
I’m afraid that the master is stupid.
Everyone thought that the master had noticed Bao Ping's restlessness and deliberately promoted her to be a first-class maid and then sold her off, throwing her from heaven to earth as a warning to others.
Actually this is a misunderstanding.
Shi Anrou simply thought that Baoping was efficient and capable, and had some resemblance to Beihui. However, after only a few days, the truth was revealed.
She straightened her appearance, took her maid Jin Yu, and headed towards Liang State.
Unexpectedly, he met Xie Yu, the fourth son of the Xie family, who refused to give up, on the Huaixing River Bridge.
He bowed from a distance and said, "Miss Shi, what a fate, we meet again."
Shi Anrou was dazzled by the guy's outstanding appearance. This time, she saw clearly.
If it weren't for his overly prominent peach blossom eyes, she would have seen some of Cen Yuan's resemblance in his bone structure.
How is that possible!
Xia'er's husband is one-of-a-kind in the world!
This guy! Humph!
"Tell me, what do you want from getting close to me?" Shi Anrou didn't think that the other party was attracted by her ordinary looks.
He must be here to harm her!
You bastard! Back off!
Xie Yu, no, the former Liang Guojin King Cen Che really wanted to slap the woman in front of him and send her flying! But did he dare?
He doesn't dare!
Not only did he not dare to do so, he also had to try hard to curry favor with her, and finally wanted to marry her. Only in this way could he return to his homeland!
Woo woo woo... He is so pitiful!
Cen Che's face was dull and exhausted. "Miss, you have such a big misunderstanding of me. Is there anything I have done wrong?"
"Nothing is right!" Shi Anrou glared. Thinking of the last time Du Qilang wanted to use her to avenge his wife, she couldn't help but tremble with anger.
Who did she offend? Everyone is picking on the weak! If you have the guts, go confront Queen Dowager Huizheng!
The thought of Empress Dowager Huizheng gave her a surge of strength. Instead of dodging, she took a few steps forward, walked straight up to Cen Che, and asked, "Did you arrange for Baoping to be with me?"
"Huh?" Cen Che had a lot of conversation to say, but it was disrupted. He didn't even know who Baoping was!
He felt that the atmosphere in the North Wing was getting worse and worse. The women had become ferocious and unrecognizable.
He missed home! He wanted to go back to Liang State... but he couldn't go back... Woohoo... his heart was bleeding. He had never loved his homeland so much!
"What?" Shi Anrou avoided that soft gaze. "Let me tell you, all those tricks of yours are just leftovers from Hui... Humph, my sister! I saw through you at first sight! Don't think I'm easy to bully!"
I've lived two lives! You're too young to fight me!
Cen Che was completely speechless. "I don't know what Aquarius is. The young lady must have a deep misunderstanding of me."
"Who cares! I won't listen to your excuses!" Shi Anrou raised her head, looking heroic and confident, making herself look less vulnerable. "Whether you admit it or not, I'm telling you, Aquarius was betrayed by me! Don't bother me again!"
Without even glancing at the other person, she turned and walked away, her back straight. After a few steps, she whispered to Jin Yu beside her, "It's over. I spoke too fast just now and didn't control the momentum well. Sister Xia'er said that if you want to scare people, you have to speak slowly and deliberately. I still can't do it. I need to practice from now on."
Jin Yu's eyes sparkled, "No, no, young lady, you are so amazing! You can be so fierce to such a handsome young man. I feel weak all over when he looks at me. Woo... Young lady, am I really useless?"
Shi Anrou patted Jin Yu's hand and said, "It's not your fault. That guy really has that ability. He can make people want to elope with him with just his eyes. You bastard, I won't let him get his wish! He will definitely hurt me. Jin Yu, remember, if you see him visiting our house next time, you must throw a basin of water at him and see if he dares to come again!"
"Really?" Jin Yu said with a bitter face, "I can't bring myself to do it!"
Jin Yu had been serving Shi Anrou since he was young, and their friendship was incomparable to those servants who came later.
Shi Anrou bought a few more maids to reduce the burden on Jin Yu and Tao Yu.
But few of them are satisfied!
As the master and servant were talking, they crossed the Huaixing River Bridge.
Not far ahead, the massive, blue-gray stone walls of Liangguo Luocheng loomed before us. The walls were covered in scars of battle and weather, and arrow towers stood out. A long line of people lined up in front of the single gate to the city wall, awaiting inspection.
Black flags fluttered overhead, and the guards' eyes were like hawks. Only after passing through this gate could one truly enter the territory of the Liang State.
Shi Anrou held a specially issued customs clearance document and often traveled between the northern wing of Liang State with her maid.
The leading officer, Lieutenant Zheng, already knew her. "Miss Shi, are you visiting our Liang State again?"
"Yes, yes!" Shi Anrou took four or five pieces of osmanthus cake from the basket that Jin Yu was carrying and handed them over, "Try the flavor of our North Wing."
Captain Zheng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I understand, I understand, but this is inappropriate." He quickly arranged to let them go.
Shi Anrou smiled and said, "Here, one for each of you to fill your stomach. I brought a lot, so you're welcome."
After saying that, she asked Jin Yu to come forward and give each soldier guarding the city gate a piece of osmanthus cake, and then she entered the city.
As soon as Shi Anrou entered, Cen Che came running over with his servant, panting, and cut in line, calling "Madam" in a soft voice, and was about to chase her into the city gate.
