Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 273 123

If he really became like this because of illness, it would be too tragic.

Lingyu sat motionless, but secretly observing Ji Mingzhao and Xiaohan.

These two people should be the benefactor's family, especially the man who sent the gift to me. He shouldn't hurt me, right?

And there are more, he has never seen these things before and doesn’t know how to use them.

He tasted that red thing and it was really bitter!

I can’t eat it either, and I feel like there’s no point in keeping it.

Although he was very careful, Ji Mingzhao still felt his gaze. He said considerately, "Master Ling, there's no need to be so reserved. If you have any questions, you can ask them directly."

So Lingyu asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

Xiaohan next to him held his forehead with his hand.

He thought that Master Ling would ask about the situation of the Gu family, or about the young master.

But I didn't expect that he would talk about food as soon as he opened his mouth. He even regarded the lip balm that Ji Cefu had just given him as food.

Ji Mingzhao's mood was different.

He looked at Ling Yu with even more pity in his eyes. He thought his experience in the Ji family was miserable enough, but he didn't expect that someone was even more miserable than him.

This Master Ling must have been born in a place where people don't have enough food to eat, so he cares so much about food.

Ji Mingzhao quickly replied: "Yes, I wonder what you would like to eat?"

Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "Fish."

Ji Mingzhao nodded and asked him, "Do you have any dietary restrictions? For example, onions, ginger, garlic, or can you eat spicy food?"

Confusion appeared in Lingyu's eyes again. Just eat fish, why bother about these things?

"No," he replied.

Ji Mingzhao took out the money he had and gave it to Xiaohan, "Go buy some live fish and ask the kitchen to cook them."

After Xiaohan took it, he went out to buy fish, leaving Ji Mingzhao and Lingyu alone.

Ji Mingzhao faintly smelled the scent of sea water, which came from Lingyu. The closer he got, the stronger the smell became.

It's like the sea breeze blowing on your face, fresh and natural.

"Did Master Ling originally live by the sea?"

"Yes."

Anyway, living in the sea is considered living by the sea, so Lingyu admitted it.

Ji Mingzhao smiled slightly and said, "No wonder."

After staying for a while, Ji Mingzhao stood up and left. Before leaving, he said to Lingyu, "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare fish and send it to you at noon. If you want to eat anything else, just ask."

Lingyu raised her head and looked at him. It turned out that her benefactor's family was as good as hers.

Seeing that Lingyu didn't answer, Ji Mingzhao didn't take it to heart and returned to his residence.

Outside the general's mansion.

Xu Fan cried as he walked, and sat down at the door.

He was pretending to cry at first, but since no one was helping him carrying such a heavy thing, he was really crying out of exhaustion.

After he sat down, he knocked on the door and shouted, "Cousin, it's me!"

Afterwards, someone came to open the door, and when he saw Xu Fan, he frowned slightly.

I thought I had sent this plague god away, but I didn't expect him to come back.

Seeing the servants from the General's Mansion come out, Xu Fan immediately stood up and asked, "Where is my cousin?"

The man replied, "General Gu is out."

Xu Fan said to the servant, "Help me take the things in."

Although reluctant, the servant still resigned himself to picking up the "luggage" brought by Xu Fan.

"one two Three……"

Perhaps because there were too many things, the servant was so tired that he rolled his eyes and couldn't lift them.

He had no choice but to call others over and help carry Xu Fan's things inside.

While they were carrying their belongings, Xu Fan had already swaggered into the general's mansion.

He looked around in the yard and suddenly remembered that the servant who opened the door said that his cousin was out today.

God is really helping him. Let him take some things away from the Gu family before being sent back.

Xu Fan heard that important things were usually kept in the study, so after asking where the study was, he went straight there.

He came to the door of the study with greed in his eyes.

However, at this moment, a woman in white fell from the sky.

Dongzhi felt disgusted instinctively when he saw Xu Fan's appearance.

She drew her sword, pointed it at him and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

When Xu Fan saw the sudden appearance of Dongzhi, he was so scared that he sat down on the ground.

This woman was murderous, as if she would really take his life if he didn't explain clearly.

Dongzhi stared at Xu Fan, the sword getting closer to his throat, "Speak!"

"I, I, I am General Gu's nephew, and General Gu is my cousin."

When Xu Fan got nervous, he even started stuttering when speaking.

"Really? Why don't I remember General Gu having such a relative?"

She had been with General Gu for quite some time, and she had never heard her mention her relatives. It was hard not to doubt the intentions of such a cousin who suddenly appeared.

"You'll know when you ask your cousin when she comes back."

Seeing how certain he was, Dongzhi began to believe his identity, but that didn't mean she would let this shifty guy go.

"Okay, I'll trust you for once. Then what are you doing outside the study? Don't tell me you're lost."

Xu Fan: "..."

Damn, he really wanted to say he was lost.

Dongzhi still did not retract his sword and stared at Xu Fan.

This time she comes back, she can stay in the capital for a few months.

I had originally planned to meet Gu Qingyuan, but I didn't expect to see this man who claimed to be General Gu's cousin as soon as I came back.

Oh, even if General Gu is not at home now, she should be the one to ensure the safety of the general's mansion.

"Say!"

Dongzhi said bluntly.

Xu Fan couldn't think of an excuse for a moment and remained silent.

The two people confronted each other like this, and Xu Fan suddenly thought of something and asked Dongzhi back.

"Who are you? If my cousin knew you treated me like this, she would never let you go!"

Dongzhi raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "I, Dongzhi, will never change my name or surname. You said General Gu wouldn't let me go, but I've been with General Gu longer than the young master. If you want to be honest, you should still call me Aunt Dong."

The servant who had put Xu Fan's luggage in his original residence came over and first politely said to Dongzhi, "Miss Dongzhi."

Then, they turned their gaze to Xu Fan and asked, "Mr. Xu, why are you here? We've already put your things back and cleaned up the room for you."

Xu Fan got up from the ground and said, "I'll go with you guys right away."

Dongzhi watched him leave, then jumped onto the roof and observed the situation in the general's mansion.

In the afternoon, General Gu returned from training outside, and his servant reported, "Master Xu is back."

General Gu knew it was Gu Qingyuan's idea as soon as he thought about it.

She said last night that she would send Xu Fan here, and then send someone to take back his hometown house and make him leave the capital.
