Chapter 524: Starving and Cold
Chapter 524: Starving and Cold
"Try to say one more word of nonsense to me!"
Nanny Jin covered her face with her hands, looking aggrieved. She didn't dare to speak anymore and fled with her head down.
……
The next day.
Just as Su Lanyin opened the door and was about to go out, a group of maids suddenly rushed in.
They knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged.
"Please leave me here, please..."
"Girl, please leave me here. I promise to thank you a thousand times and repay you with my services."
"Miss, I am the best at serving others. You will not be disappointed if you keep me here!"
……
Su Lanyin glanced outside and saw that even the door was full of people kneeling. It seemed that they were all kidnapped by Zhao Zide.
Some of them really wanted to stay and avoid Zhao Zide's persecution.
Some of them might be spies sent by Zhao Zide to monitor her every move.
Su Lanyin took a quick look and saw that there were at least fifty of them.
There were so many people that she couldn't accurately tell which one was good and which one was bad, but she couldn't just stand by and watch them die just because she had doubts.
So she waved her hand and said to Nanny Jin, "I want them all."
When Aunt Jin heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, can you handle so many people?"
Su Lanyin crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "I am willing to have so many people serve me. Is it your business?"
"you……"
Nanny Jin was furious but dared not say anything. After all, Zhao Zide treated Su Lanyin very well last night.
I guess this girl must have some background.
Since even the master doesn't dare to offend her, she naturally has to be worshipped as an ancestor.
"Yes, yes, you are right!"
"Make them all kneel in the yard."
"Yes."
Nanny Jin immediately turned around and drove the group of maids into the yard.
Looking at the rows of girls kneeling on the ground, Su Lanyin cursed in her heart that this beast Zhao Zide would not die a horrible death.
With so many women, how many innocent families have suffered?
She walked over to the first row and looked at them one by one. Many of them had injuries on their faces and looked timid. It was obvious that they had been abused.
Su Lanyin pointed at a few and said, "These ten will stay by my side to serve me, and the rest will be responsible for cleaning the yard and taking care of the flowers and plants. Oh, who will cook?"
"I can do it!"
"I know a little bit too!"
"This slave can cook home-cooked meals!"
"Miss, I can make snacks!"
……
A group of little girls raised their hands.
Su Lanyin nodded: "Very good, you guys will be responsible for my meals."
Nanny Jin wrote it down, and then asked, "Besides this, do you have any other needs?"
"Yes, I am a very spoiled person. I want to eat good food and wear good clothes. After all, I grew up in luxury."
"Uh... yes, I will have someone send the best clothes for you to try on."
"No need, I don't like wearing old clothes, please go shopping with me."
"Ah? The master didn't say you could go out..."
"Then call him over and I'll ask him myself!"
"This……"
"What's this? Why don't you go and call for help?"
"Yes! Old slave, go now!"
Nanny Jin ran towards Zhao Zide's room in a panic, and soon brought him over.
"Miss, are you looking for me?" Zhao Zide said respectfully.
Everyone was shocked to see that he had changed from his previous arrogant and fierce face to become so submissive.
Su Lanyin sat on the chair with her legs crossed, playing with her nails nonchalantly, and said lightly: "I want to go to your county to have a look and buy some food, clothing, housing and transportation. Master Zhao will not disagree, right?"
"Who said I don't agree? I absolutely agree. As long as you go out, you can go anywhere, but it's best if you don't come back."
"What did you say?" She said coldly.
"Oh, it's a slip of the tongue. Look at my broken mouth. Can't I hit it?"
Zhao Zide pretended to slap himself twice in a slick way, then asked in a flattering manner, "When do you plan to go?"
It would be great if I could just leave her outside, or let her get lost on purpose so she can't find her way back, that would solve a big problem.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zide couldn't help but feel proud.
Unexpectedly, Su Lanyin said, "Okay, it's settled. Master Zhao will go with me."
"what?"
Zhao Zide was extremely surprised.
"How can I accompany you..."
"Why, Lord Zhao, you don't want to?"
"I do have something to do and can't leave for the time being..."
"Oh, in that case, I won't go today. There's still a long way to go. I'll go next month."
"Ah? Next month?"
"Yes." Su Lanyin pretended to be relaxed and leaned back in her chair. "Since there are so many people waiting on me, I will stay for another month."
Zhao Zide immediately retorted upon hearing this: "Absolutely not! Miss, don't you want to go shopping? I suddenly remembered that I'm fine now, so I'll go with you now. Let's go, let's go."
"Don't worry, I haven't eaten yet. Do you want to starve me to death? I tell you, if I'm hungry and cold, I will never go back."
"Oh, who did this? Why haven't you served the girl food yet? How many heads do you have to pay for letting her starve?"
Zhao Zide roared, and the maids at the door immediately ran to the dining hall.
Soon, the table in front of Su Lanyin was filled with delicacies from land and sea.
"That's better. Mr. Zhao, please serve me dinner in person. This will show that you value and respect me. What do you think?"
Zhao Zide gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He tried to hold it back several times and almost couldn't, but finally he agreed.
"Okay, I'll serve you dinner myself."
Su Lanyin smiled with satisfaction, walked to the table and sat down, looking expectant.
Zhao Zide had never served anyone before, but now he had fallen to the point of serving a woman for meals. He was so angry that he wanted to throw his chopsticks several times.
But in the end he held back.
He picked up a piece of greens and handed it to her mouth, saying reluctantly, "Please have some vegetables."
Su Lanyin frowned: "What are you doing? What happened at home? Why are you so sullen? Do I owe you money?"
Zhao Zide gritted his teeth with a look of frustration, then forced himself into a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Please enjoy your meal."
Su Lanyin still looked disgusted: "Why are you smiling so reluctantly? Do you hate me so much?"
"No no……"
"I think you do have it! I won't eat it, humph!"
She slammed the table angrily, stood up and was about to leave.
Zhao Zide knew that if she was not satisfied, there would be countless tricks waiting for him.
So he immediately said loudly and respectfully, "Miss, calm down. I know I was wrong. Please have a meal. It is a blessing for me to serve you in my previous life!"
He smiled flatteringly, almost with all his strength.
Su Lanyin looked at his servile appearance, curled her lips and then reluctantly sat down.
Just when Zhao Zide breathed a sigh of relief, she started acting up again.
