The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 123

Grandma Zhu managed to stay, but she didn't live with Lu Bo as Steward Qi thought.

According to her: It's a joke, everyone is already old, even if she is not afraid of gossip, his old head Lu is still nervous about his old face!
Therefore, Grandma Zhu stayed smoothly, not only did she not lose Wanjie, she also managed to capture Lu Bo's heart.

Bai Jiujiu really wanted to live with Granny Zhu, but how could Xia Jinchai agree!Not only did they live separately, but they also separated their lodgings far away.

According to Granny Zhu's understanding, even this prince's mansion treats servants differently, so the place where she is arranged has its own reasons for her prince.As for Bai Jiujiu, she was naturally aware of Xia Jinchai's plan, but she knew Xia Jinchai knew it, and she must never let Granny Zhu know.Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as the girls in Chunyue Tower?
Besides, she wasn't prepared to accept her fate like this.Although Xia Jinchai treats her very well now, her master and senior brothers in heaven treat her even better.Therefore, she must try her best to save the survival of the heavens!
"Jiujiu, why don't you eat it? Is it because the food your mother-in-law cooked today didn't suit your appetite?" Granny Zhu asked, looking at Bai Jiujiu who was secretly eating but eating with a sad face.

"Grandma, do you have any wine here?" Bai Jiujiu put down his chopsticks and asked.

In fact, she knew that after staying in Prince Chai's mansion for a long time, except for the wine in Guan Guan's house, all the maids and servants in this mansion were not allowed to hide it privately.Because, I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that drinking will cause trouble.

Granny Zhu spread her hands together: "No! That day my old lady wanted to bring a jar of self-brewed fine wine from Chunyue Tower for you to taste, but the guard insisted that I would not bring it."

Looking at Bai Jiujiu's listless eyes, she knew without asking that the girl who was greedy for alcohol hadn't smelled of alcohol for a long time, so Granny Zhu immediately stood up and said, "Wait here for a while, Granny will go to the old man soon." Ask for some from Lu Tou!"

"Mother-in-law, you don't have to go." Bai Jiujiu picked up the chopsticks again and started to dip into the bowl.

"What's the matter? Granny has reconciled with him, and he doesn't dare to be so petty that he doesn't even give him a sip of wine." Granny Zhu smiled confidently.

"Lu Bo doesn't have any alcohol." Bai Jiujiu sighed and said slowly.

"Why? Old Lu can have nothing to eat, but it's worse than killing him if you don't give him wine." After speaking, Granny Zhu bent her back and wanted to go out.

"There is a broken rule in the palace. Without the permission of the prince, the servants of the palace are not allowed to hide fine wine." Bai Jiujiu knew Granny Zhu's doubts, so she told her the answer she wanted to know without haste.

"Steward Qi invited him to drink all the wine that Lu Bo drank. This is the privilege of the steward."

"Then I'll ask Old Lu to beg for us to satisfy our hunger!" Granny Zhu made the plan as a matter of course.

"Mother-in-law, you forgot, the housekeeper Qi was the one who prevented you from entering the mansion the day before yesterday. What you don't know is that he was also the one who imprisoned me in the hut that time without giving me food or drink."

"What, it's that old man who starved you!" Granny Zhu immediately became resentful.

Seeing Granny Zhu's unprecedented anger, Bai Jiujiu was really worried that she would rush over to scold Butler Qi for her own sake.So, busy changing the subject.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law! Jiujiu is fine now, let's not talk about those unpleasant things."

"No! I must talk to him about it. Don't think that you can deceive others too much just because you are a housekeeper!"

"Maybe...he's old and believed the rumors by mistake?" Bai Jiujiu said while helping Granny Zhu to sit down, persuading her.

Sure enough, Granny Zhu, who sat still, frowned and thought for a while, then murmured as if she came to a conclusion: "It stands to reason that old Lu would not be wrong. Well, apart from being a little pretentious, the old man is not He seems to be such a cruel person. Maybe he really misbelieved the rumors."

"Yes, yes, but since he is the steward of the palace, if he accidentally tells Prince Chai about our drinking, we'd better not get his idea of ​​drinking."

"Doesn't that mean we've never had anything to do with alcohol?" Granny Zhu is also an alcoholic. In her opinion, this wine can not only be enjoyed happily, but most importantly, it can nourish the body and help people relieve fatigue.

Bai Jiujiu patted the back of Granny Zhu's hand and smiled: "Grandma Zhu, can you freely enter and leave the palace?"

"Stupid child, my mother-in-law is not a servant of this palace, he is old man Qi, and that prince Chai, why should you restrain me?"

"That's it." Bai Jiujiu raised her eyebrows excitedly, and took out a small bag of broken silver from her pocket as she spoke.

"Mother-in-law, when are you going to leave the mansion, help Jiujiu get some one-step immortals back." I don't know what Xia Jinchai is doing, he would rather bring Granny Zhu closer to the mansion than allow himself to leave the mansion for a while, alas!Thinking of the wine, Bai Jiujiu was so greedy that he didn't think about eating or drinking.

"Silly girl, One Step Immortal brews thousands of barrels a year, and it's been on sale for half a month. How can I still get it!"

"No, I still had enough to drink during the few days in the General's Mansion!" Bai Jiujiu blurted out without thinking.

"That's right, my mother-in-law has always forgotten to ask you. It seems that old man Duanmu and General Duanmu have treated you very well. Why did you come back here?" He is richer, more honorable and has great grace from the emperor, but for this inexperienced Bai Jiujiu, it must be easier to live in the General's Mansion.Moreover, she suffered such a big loss, there is no reason to give up the general's mansion and run back to this wolf's lair!

I don't want to, it's better not to mention this matter, but it made Bai Jiujiu sigh three times.

"What's the matter, child? Could it be that General Duanmu sent you back again?"

"He wasn't so cruel this time, but he was still a little bit reluctant to let me come back." Thinking of Duanmuling, Bai Jiujiu couldn't let go.

It hurts, such a good opportunity was missed.Not reconciled, really not reconciled!

"Since he doesn't want you to leave, why don't you stay well."

"Mother-in-law, you don't know! I eat and drink in Duanmu Mansion like a distinguished guest, but Lord Chai came here for some reason!" Thinking of the scene that day, Bai Jiujiu wanted to cry .She understood that the old man Duanmu and General Duanmu didn't want to keep her, but they were powerless.

"My mother-in-law is wondering, there are so many servants in Prince Chai's mansion, and all the maids are as beautiful as heaven, why does Prince Chai always catch you and make things difficult for you!"

"Isn't that so, that damned Lord Chai is either trying to deduct my wages, or scolding me for the pigtails. It's good now, and..." Suddenly, Bai Jiujiu covered her mouth while talking.Almost missed it!
"What's the matter?" The mother-in-law looked at her strange expression and asked.
