Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 242 241 Getting into the role
Gu Zhili was both embarrassed and annoyed. Seeing Feng Xiuhu glaring at her and looking very unhappy, she remembered her lady's instructions and decided to harden her heart.

She gritted her teeth and ripped open the buttons of her jacket, revealing the lining she was wearing underneath.

Without waiting for Feng Xiuhu to continue speaking, she went on to untie the drawstrings of her lining, as if she would not stop until she was naked.

Feng Xiuhu was also getting anxious, slamming the table repeatedly. "What are you doing? What do you want to do? Are you trying to scam me? Are you trying to seduce me? I won't fall for that!"

The lining then opened, leaving only a bellyband inside.

If you don't stop it, the bellyband will be gone.

Feng Xiuhu felt that his already precarious reputation was declining again. In a panic, he shouted, "Stop!"

Mist chains shot out from nowhere, wrapped around Gu Zhili's wrists and hung her up.

Feng Xiuhu looked at her in disbelief: "You are so vicious!"

Gu Zhili didn't resist. She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts. Anyway, I've fallen into your hands. This day was bound to come sooner or later."

Feng Xiuhu realized that he was misunderstood. This time he was really angry and his face gradually darkened.

pat.

He lit a cigarette and said sullenly, "That's not the rule in my house."

He waved his hand, the chains turned into mist and dissipated, and Gu Zhili fell from mid-air.

"Suit up."

Gu Zhili didn't know why Feng Xiuhu's expression suddenly changed. She just thought that her sarcasm had made him lose interest.

She quickly wrapped her clothes back up and looked at Feng Xiuhu with a wary look.

Feng Xiuhu flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Although I've sealed your magical powers, I know you Barefoot Prince Temple people always have strange and bizarre medicines hidden away, so I advise you to put aside your thoughts and not think of using your things to harm others."

Gu Zhili nodded cautiously: "Don't worry, Madam has already instructed me to avoid upsetting you and implicating her."

Feng Xiuhu nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Go away."

Gu Zhili picked up her bag, turned around and left the study.

When Feng Xiuhu just mentioned "sincerity", he actually wanted to ask a question.

He originally wanted to use the excuse of saving his life to ask Gu Zhili to answer his questions.

For example, what is her level of cultivation, what kind of curse has Konate Chen been under, and what is the purpose of her and Wu Caifeng being arranged to be with Wei Su'e.

But looking at Gu Zhili's attitude, it would be difficult to get the truth out of her, so Feng Xiuhu gave up the idea.

……

After leaving the study, Gu Zhili went to find the housekeeper.

Lingzhi pretended to pass by, glanced at her, and then immediately went to inform Xiyaoer.

"I saw it clearly. She had it all right when she went in, but when she came out, a couple of buttons were buttoned wrong!"

Xiyao'er rolled her eyes and said, "She is indeed quite pretty, but I believe the master is not that kind of person."

Lingzhi whispered, "What if she seduced the master?"

Narcissus grabbed her ear and said, "Stop talking nonsense! I think you're going to slap me again."

At this moment, Gu Zhili followed the housekeeper passing through the living room - the housekeeper was taking her to familiarize herself with the house.

Xi Yaoer stood up and said, "I'll show her around. It's a good opportunity for us to get acquainted with each other."

The butler nodded his head, bent down and retreated.

Xiyaoer walked over and looked Gu Zhili up and down.

Gu Zhili had already put aside her airs as the maid of the Duke's wife and was the first to bow to Xi Yaoer: "Greetings, Madam."

This sentence made Xiyao'er smile brightly. She took Gu Zhili's arm and said, "Don't be so formal. We will be a family from now on. There are not so many rules in our family. Just call me Sister Ruan." Gu Zhili smiled at her and said, "Then Sister Ruan, just call me A Li."

The two of them walked upstairs, and Xi Yaoer asked as they walked, "Did the master give you any instructions on what you are to do from now on?"

Gu Zhili replied, "Of course I will serve her personally, just like I serve the Duke's wife."

"Personal service..."

Xi Yaoer thought for a moment and said, "Then it's the same as Narcissus and Ganoderma lucidum."

She led Gu Zhili to a place and said, "These two maid rooms are next to the master's master bedroom. Shuixian Lingzhi lives in one, and you can live in the other."

Then she pointed behind her and said, "I live across the street."

Gu Zhili was not picky. She went into the room, put down her bag, and walked out quickly.

She said to Xi Yaoer, "Just now, when I walked here, I found that a lot of furniture needs maintenance. Ordinary items are fine, but some expensive furniture and art ornaments must be carefully cared for regularly. After a long time, not only will their value depreciate, but they will also make the house look shabby."

Gu Zhili got into the role very quickly, and Xiyaoer was stunned when she heard it - she had never considered this aspect before.

Gu Zhili smiled and said, "The Duke's Mansion has a lot of details, so I naturally know more. Sister Ruan, don't worry, I have experience in these matters, and I know many people who specialize in these jobs. I will ask them to come to our house to take care of it."

The two walked down again.

Gu Zhili raised more questions along the way.

"Are they Narcissus Lingzhi? Why are they dressed like this? I'll ask someone to order maid uniforms for them later, and then I'll be able to recognize them."

Xi Yaoer laughed dryly and said, "There aren't many people at home. You'll naturally recognize each other after spending a long time together. There's no need to wear a uniform."

Gu Zhili said seriously, "Of course we recognize them, but the guests don't. If they wear ordinary clothes when distinguished guests come, it will be embarrassing for the master."

Before Xi Yaoer could reply, Gu Zhili pointed at the housekeeper and said, "It's obvious that this housekeeper was found in the lower city."

Xiyaoer was stunned: "How did you tell that?"

Gu Zhili shook her head: "You have no eyes to work with. You're standing by the wall with nothing to do. To put it nicely, you're not bothering your master. To put it bluntly, you're just being lazy."

She pointed at the Narcissus and Ganoderma Lucidum and said, "In broad daylight, the maids were sitting in the living room chatting and laughing, and the housekeeper didn't stop them."

She walked to the window, opened it, touched the outside window sill, and dust came to her fingertips.

Then he raised his hands to show Xi Yaoer: "Such a big house, so many places that need to be taken care of - the servants may not see it, but the housekeeper must."

"A qualified steward must not only take care of what is within his sight, but also take care of what is invisible."

The housekeeper felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it.

Gu Zhili counted on her fingers, "Besides that, we also need to formulate daily procedures according to the owner's habits, standardize household etiquette, routinely manage the kitchen, and check for safety hazards..."

Xiyaoer grabbed her hand and interrupted, "Ali, there's no point in talking any more. Why don't you just teach us directly?"

……

While eating, Feng Xiuhu came out of the study.

He came down from upstairs, but did not hear the familiar lively conversation.

Just as he was wondering, Feng Xiuhu walked into the restaurant, only to find that the housekeeper, Narcissus, and Lingzhi were all standing by the wall waiting. Several cooks had gotten pure white chef uniforms from somewhere and were standing in a row by the table, each holding a silver tray in their hands, waiting.

There was only Xi Yaoer on the table, but she was also sitting upright, with her hands on her knees, looking very serious.

Gu Zhili stood behind the main seat.

Seeing Feng Xiuhu coming down, she took the initiative to pull out a chair and asked Feng Xiuhu to sit down.

Feng Xiuhu subconsciously reached into his pocket to retrieve his lighter and pocket watch. He stared at Gu Zhili and asked, "Did you really drug them?"

PS: I am going to give you the medicine, but it is not the time yet.
