From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"Chen Shi, how dare you!"

Xiao Fengxiao sat on the couch and immediately uttered a sharp shout.

Chen Shi stood outside the inner room door, his heart skipped a beat. Oh no, this woman is angry.

After finishing his task, Chen Shi returned to report.

However, it is clear that Xiao Fengxiao already knows exactly what he has done in the past two days.

As for how he knew, it was probably from the letter sent by Zhao Qiancheng.

Zhao Qiancheng was a seasoned official who was initially blinded by the huge benefits promised by Chen Shi, but he would definitely have realized his mistake later.

To clear himself of any wrongdoing, he immediately reported to Xiao Fengxiao.

"Second Madam, have I done anything wrong?"

Chen Shi steadied himself and tentatively said something.

His eyes, however, turned to Yun'er beside Xiao Fengxiao, pleading for her help.

Yun'er looked at Chen Shi, but covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You did more than just well, you did an outstanding job."

Xiao Fengxiao, who had just been looking angry, suddenly burst into laughter.

"I asked you to deal with a few beggars, and you ended up recruiting two big gangs for me. Isn't that like buying eggs and hatching a brood of hens? Hehe, Chen Shi, you've really given me a big surprise."

"Ah? As long as Second Grandmother doesn't blame me for making the decision on my own, that's fine."

Chen Shi was taken aback, and then realized that Xiao Fengxiao was deliberately teasing him.

That difficult woman!

After a moment of silence, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the outcome of this matter was favorable to Xiao Fengxiao, it was, after all, an act of unilateral decision, and who knew how Xiao Fengxiao would react.

Now that there's no blame, Chen Shi can finally relax.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shi took out two letters of allegiance written by Zhang Xiaotian and Du Yueming.

Yun'er came over and took it, smiled at Chen Shi, and went inside to hand it to Xiao Fengxiao.

"good!"

After reading it, Xiao Fengxiao praised it again and then told Yun'er to put the document away.

"Although the Wolf Poison Gang and the Flying Eagle Gang are not legitimate martial arts sects, they wield considerable influence in the streets of Yongqiu City. With these two vicious dogs around, many things will be much easier for us in the future."

"What you say is true, Second Madam. That's what I was thinking too. Moreover, with you backing them up, they'll be like tigers with wings. It's only a matter of time before they completely take over Yongqiu City. Then they'll be able to serve you even better."

"Heh, that's secondary. I heard that the Wolf Poison Gang originally wanted to join Third Brother's side, but now they're one of us, giving Third Brother a real slap in the face. That's truly satisfying!"

Xiao Fengxiao looked at Chen Shi and smiled again.

"Chen Shi, you've really brought honor to our courtyard."

"I'm just running errands, but in the end, I'm still relying on your prestige, Second Madam."

"What you say is true. Hmph, others may fear the Third Prince and respect the Li family, but I have no fear of them!"

Xiao Fengxiao snorted coldly, feeling greatly pleased, and then spoke to Chen Shi.

"You've earned my respect. Now, tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Serving Second Madam is my duty, so I don't need any reward."

"No, never mind then, I'll save it."

"Well, if Second Madam insists on giving a reward..."

"Hehe, Yun'er, look at this little rascal."

Xiao Fengxiao looked at Yun'er and giggled. Yun'er couldn't help but laugh out loud as well.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"I don't want money, but..."

Chen Shi paused slightly, then simply spoke directly.

"Second Madam granted me two months' leave, allowing me to spend half a day each day in Sweetwater Lane. Now that those two months are almost up, I would like to ask Second Madam to grant me a few more months' leave."

"That's it? Heh, you little rascal, so you're not greedy for money, but lustful? What, you've really taken a fancy to that woman?"

Xiao Fengxiao smiled again, bowed slightly, and looked at Chen Shi with a hint of gossip in her phoenix eyes.

Chen Shi lowered his head slightly, his old face flushed, and he remained silent.

"Alright, alright, as long as you're happy, I'm happy to be your matchmaker."

Xiao Fengxiao chuckled again and said directly.

"Don't extend your leave anymore. If you do, you'll have to beg me to extend it again when it expires, it's such a hassle. How about this, I'll allow you to stay there whenever you're not on duty at night. That courtyard was bought by Gu Chengze, it's originally part of my property."

"...Thank you, Second Madam!"

Doesn't that mean I can live with Cui Nong?

Chen Shi was both surprised and delighted, and immediately expressed his gratitude.

"You're already thanking me? Wait until you get married to thank me then. Didn't I tell you before, if you seduce her, I'll make the decision for you and marry her directly?"

"Yes, yes! I'll definitely try my best!"

"That's good, everything's alright now, go ahead."

Xiao Fengxiao nodded and waved his hand.

Chen Shi thanked him repeatedly before leaving.

"This silly boy is quite the romantic."

Watching Chen Shi leave, Xiao Fengxiao couldn't help but smile again.

"My throat is so dry from talking. Yun'er, pour me a cup of tea."

Yun'er didn't answer. She got up and went to the outer room to pour a cup of tea, which she placed with a clatter on the small table next to Xiao Fengxiao.

"Ouch! What's wrong with you?!"

Some tea spilled out and landed directly on Xiao Fengxiao's hand. Xiao Fengxiao exclaimed in surprise and looked at Yun'er in astonishment.

Yun'er didn't say anything, but sat down on the couch next to her and turned her back to her.

"You little brat, what have I done to offend you?"

Xiao Fengxiao was taken aback. He stood up and came over, placing his hands on Yun'er's shoulders and turning her around.

Yun'er glared at her angrily, her eyes red and brimming with tears.

"Oh dear, damn it, why are you crying?"

Xiao Fengxiao treated Yun'er like his own sister, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache, so he quickly hugged her in his arms.

Yun'er didn't say anything, she just kept crying.

Xiao Fengxiao's eyes darted around, and suddenly his expression changed.

"Hey! You're not actually falling for that guy, are you?!"

"And you still let him live in Sweetwater Lane!"

Yun'er looked up at Xiao Fengxiao, her face full of sullen resentment.

"How was I supposed to know you little slut, that you'd fall for him after just one time with him!"

Xiao Fengxiao looked aggrieved and helpless.

"Good sister, I'll stand up for you. You can have whatever you want. Why do you have to like a servant like him?"

"I'm a servant too!"

Yun'er gave a soft snort, then looked resentful and said in a low voice.

"I don't know why, but ever since then, I've often dreamed about him at night."

"So it was him. No wonder you've been having so many erotic dreams these past few days."

"Pah! You're the one having a wet dream, I've heard it so many times."

"Alright, alright, why are you talking about me? I'm talking about you."

"I want to forget him, but the more I try, the more I can't forget him. Instead, I miss him and want to see him. Just seeing him makes me happy."

"Once you've tasted the marrow, you're hooked. But that kind of authentic stuff is unforgettable."

Xiao Fengxiao seemed to be talking to herself, momentarily lost in thought, her cheeks flushing slightly.

He quickly came to his senses and said...

"Then I'll make amends, okay? I'll have someone bring him back right now and forbid him from staying there!"

"If you go back on your word, it'll seem like I've done something wrong."

Yun'er quickly waved her hand, got up from Xiao Fengxiao, and hurried out.

Staring at the swaying curtain, Xiao Fengxiao paused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. What kind of situation is this?

I originally planned to get a guard dog, but it ended up stealing all the flowers she was growing.
