Yue Lan brought Ning Shu to the desolate back garden of the residence and parted the dry grass at the base of a certain wall to reveal a dog hole.
Ning Shu looked at Yue Lan. “How did you know that there was a dog hole here? You’ve gone through it before?”
“Miss, how could you talk about this servant that way?” Yue Lan’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu: What did I say!?
“This servant is Miss’s personal maid, how could this servant possibly go through a dog hole? This servant always takes the main entrance.” Yue Lan defended her dignity.
Ning Shu: …
With great difficulty, Ning Shu crawled through the dog hole. She had almost gotten stuck. If it hadn’t been for Yue Lan pushing her hard from behind, she probably wouldn’t have been able to come out. This was the first time she discovered that having large deadly weapons wasn’t always a good thing.
She rubbed her front. It really hurt from the squeeze.
Following that, Yue Lan easily crawled through the dog hole. When she saw Ning Shu grimacing, she hastily walked over to help pat the dirt and grass bits off Ning Shu’s clothes.
“Miss, why must you humiliate yourself this way? The lord’s heart would ache for you if he knew,” said Yue Lan.
Ning Shu didn’t care at all. How could this be called humiliation? What happened to Mu Yanmeng in the original storyline was true humiliation. Not only did she humiliate herself, men also humiliate her, and it wasn’t just one man either.
“Wow, look at this. This is the appearance of a beautiful wealthy miss from an influential family? How did it feel to crawl through a dog hole?” Situ Qingyu’s voice suddenly appeared.
Ning Shu looked around but didn’t see him.
“Miss, he… he’s up there.” Yue Lan’s teeth were chattering. Ning Shu looked up and saw that Situ Qingyu was dressed in blue as he stood on the wall in a very cool manner with the wind blowing back his hair.
Ning Shu brushed back her slightly messy hair and said mildly, “It feels very convenient, very nice.”
“Humph…” Situ Qingyu gave a cold humph, then spread his arms and glided over like a bird person. Ning Shu took a step back.
Situ Qingyu landed in front of Ning Shu and said coldly, “You sure have a lot of guts to sneak out of the residence without this general’s permission. How should this general punish you?”
Ning Shu pulled Yue Lan and edged backwards as she said, “What are you going to do?”
Situ Qingyu’s face twitched and he asked in a low voice, “In your heart, this general’s just a big sex fiend?”
Ning Shu nodded straightforwardly in response. The title of ‘big perverted sex fiend’ belonged exclusively to you.
Situ Qingyu laughed coldly. “If this general doesn’t do anything, wouldn’t that be letting down this title?”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Ning Shu, but Ning Shu suddenly shouted, “Take a look at my secret weapon! Pei!”
Ning Shu spat right at Situ Qingyu’s face, then pulled Yue Lan and ran.
Situ Qingyu was able to dodge Ning Shu’s spit easily with a slight movement, but didn’t chase after her and simply glared as she ran out of sight.
“Miss, please wait, this servant can’t run anymore.” Yue Lan seemed about to pass out.
Ning Shu stopped running and panted for breath as she looked around. Situ Qingyu wasn’t anywhere in sight, it seemed that he hadn’t come after them.
“Miss, you’ve truly suffered.” Yue Lan still hadn’t recovered from the sight of Ning Shu spitting fearlessly. “Miss is gentle and noble, yet you’ve now become like this. The lord would be so heartbroken if he knew.”
“Alright, that’s enough grieving. Where should we go to eat?” When Ning Shu saw the steamed stuffed buns on display in a nearby store, her saliva almost dripped out. “Owner, please give me two baskets of buns.”
“Shoo, shoo, we don’t welcome beggars!” The owner of the steamed buns store aggressively chased them away. Yue Lan immediately lifted her brows and shouted, “Audacious! To dare to be so impolite to my family’s miss.”
“If you don’t leave right now, I’ll beat you guys to death! Damned beggars!” The owner bellowed at them nastily.
Ning Shu felt depressed. For better or for worse, she was still currently a female lead that should be encountering benefactors wherever she went. Why was the owner of this steamed buns store so fierce towards her like she held a grudge against her?
“Do you know who my miss is?” Yue Lan used a handkerchief to wipe the dirt off Ning Shu’s face, then brushed the loose hair aside. After that, she asked the owner, “You can tell now right? You see who my miss is?”
The owner opened her little eyes wide, then said, “Who cares who you are? If you have money, buy the buns. If you don’t, then scram.”
Ning Shu: …
“Forget it, let’s just go.” Ning Shu saw that there were more and more people gathering. The female lead was the pillar of the story, so no matter where she went, incidents would occur and attract mass attention.
