Chapter 74: offense is the best defense 5 (2/2)
”Ahhh why is he coming here” she held Baozhai's hand and looked up with a big eye ”it can't be that he is here to scold me, he must have heard about the big mess at Yuan mansion and is her to continue from where mother stopped and scold me. This is bad”.
Baozhai and Rong Rong shared a look that said what is wrong with her then looked down at her. Rong Rong dropped the hairpins she held in her hands and said ”madam, I don't think young master is here to scold you. Yu Tao was carrying a tray behind him, I think height just be getting you a treat”.
Rong Rong had seen a tray but Su Liya was too far gone in her imagination to believe her. She looked up at Rong Rong and blinked twice ”Rong Rong is your brain fried? Why would Lu Yaozhu bring me a treat, is he giving rewarding me for causing a huge mess?”
Su Liya glared at Baozhai when she heard her whisper ”well at least you know your mistake”.
”You know Baozhai, I don't understand you, whose side are you on exactly!. Can't you speak nicely”
Baozhai's eyes widened and she tried to console her young madam ”no-no madam, there is no need to worry. Our Young master has a very good temper, I don't think he is here to scold you”.
”If he isn't here to Scold me why is he here. Rong Rong quick go inform him that I am asleep or something. I don't want him to scold me!!”
Before Baozhai and Rong Rong could calm down their worried madam, they heard a calm male voice say
”I am not here to scold you, my dear wife”.
They both looked up and found Lu Yaozhu carrying a tray and standing by the door.
*******
Lu Yaozhu stopped the servants from greeting him, as he walked in, he collected the tray of sweets from Yu Tao and walked into the bedroom. As he walked in, he heard Su Liya say to her maid
”If he isn't here to Scold me why is he here. Rong Rong hurry up and go tell him that I am asleep or something. I don't want him to scold me!!”
Lu Yaozhu smiled when he heard that, he didn't bother knocking and just walked in. Su Liya was seated at the dressing table, pouting as she held onto both of her maids' hands. She looked a little cute when she pouted, he smiled and said
”Don't worry Dear wife, I am not here to scold you?” he said walking forward and placing the tray on the round table.
The two maids snapped out of their daze and curtsied ”young master”.
Lu Yaozhu smiled and nodded ”you two have both worked hard. I send over some cold drinks for the servants, go out and receive yours. I will keep your mistress company”
”Yes,” Baozhai and Rong Rong chorused and walked out of the room. Su Liya held on to their skirt to get them to stay back but the little traitorous maids left anyway.
She smiled sheepishly when he caught her little actions. Lu Yaozhu sat on the stool and opened the plate ”don't keep seating there, come and have some sweet”.
A bulb went off on her head when she heard ”sweet”. She walked to the table and looked down at the plate, there were three sugared treats on the plate. She pointed at the treat and asked ”is this for me?”
Lu Yaozhu looked at her coldly, Su Liya laughed softly ”hehe no need to answer that” she said on the stool next to him at picked up one of the treats.
