Chapter 467: Chapter 436, Caiju at Dongli_1

Gu Jian, although happy that Daohua had found a gold mine, still had some reservations about her spending the night outside: “Even though you had a reason, it’s still not right for a young lady to stay out overnight on her own.”

Unable to help herself, Daohua retorted, “I wasn’t out alone; I had Third Brother and Fourth Brother with me.”

Gu Jian glared at her: “Those two brothers of yours are still children, not yet capable of handling things on their own. How could they possibly take care of you?”

Daohua: “… Well, I didn’t go anywhere else, I went to find Xiao Yeyang. He would protect me. If it were someone else, naturally, I wouldn’t have gone.”

Seeing his disciple’s utter trust in her cousin, Gu Jian suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Xiao Yeyang watched Daohua with a smile, secretly pleased. Did her words mean that in her heart, he was different from others, someone she could completely trust?

...

Old Lady Gu saw that Gu Jian was about to scold the two children and gave him a stern look, laughing as she said, “Let’s just forget about this time, but you can’t do this again in the future.”

Daohua quickly nodded: “I promise there won’t be a next time.”

Gu Jian huffed, but in the end, said no more.

Daohua glanced at the sky and smiled, “Grandma, Master, it’s almost noon, I’ll go cook for you.”

Xiao Yeyang immediately said, “I’ll start the fire.”

As they came out of the house, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both heaved a sigh of relief.

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with surprise: “It’s normal for me to be afraid of Master, but what are you afraid of?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: “I don’t know, but seeing Master Gu with a stern face, I feel quite nervous too.”

As they walked towards the kitchen, they hadn’t even stepped inside when they saw a strange maid and a young male servant walking out.

“This servant Caiju greets the young master and the young lady.”

“This servant Dongli greets the young master and the young lady.”

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged glances, then stepped forward to ask, “Who are you?”

“They are new maids and young servants that your master has purchased.”

Gu Jian walked out from the main hall.

Daohua: “Master, when did you buy these people?” As she spoke, she scrutinized Caiju and Dongli, noting that both were neatly dressed, with meticulous hairdos and proper manners, prompting a flicker in her eyes.

Gu Jian rolled his eyes at her: “Does your master need to consult you whenever I do something?”

Daohua: “Master, that’s not what I meant. I’m saying, if you are short of maids or servants, just tell me, and I can send some over. Isn’t that better than finding some from outside?”

At that moment, Old Lady Gu walked out with a smile: “Silly girl, your master is just teasing you. I think Caiju and Dongli look quite good, so you don’t need to send anyone over.”

Daohua smiled and nodded, then approached Gu Jian and whispered, “Master, can these two be trusted? It looks like they have received specialized training.”

Gu Jian glanced at his disciple: “You have a sharp eye. If they weren’t trained, your master wouldn’t have bought them. Do you think I would carelessly find anyone subpar to take care of my sister?”

“These two previously served in a large household. They are quite handy and well-mannered. Your master found them suitable, so I bought them.”

Seeing that Daohua wanted to say more, Gu Jian cut her off directly, “All right, stop worrying needlessly. Your master has eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice; can’t I judge people better than you?”

“Your master and granny here, we’re practically buried neck-deep in soil already—who would target us? Moreover, if they were indeed bad eggs, they would just be a dose of medicine away.”

Daohua said no more, almost forgetting that her master was an expert in using poison and had formidable martial arts skills. Despite his age, an ordinary person would indeed have a hard time harming him.

Xiao Yeyang stood by, not speaking, but his eyes occasionally swept over Caiju and Dongli.

Caiju: “We’d better be careful. Eunuch An said that both the Little Prince and Miss Yan are very shrewd. We mustn’t let them discover our true identities.” _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
