It wasn't an apple that hit Newton.

Li Cheng considered for a moment and then said, "If I had to say, it would be long hair... Wait! Who's talking about that? What exactly did you mean by eavesdropping? Did you lie in wait outside my door at night to listen in?"

“Qi”.

Seeing that she couldn't get away with it, Susie had no choice but to confess everything: "Okay, then I'll tell you—actually, this is all your fault."

"Blame me?"

Li Cheng pointed to himself, looking puzzled.

Is it like a middle school homeroom teacher trying to break up a fight—it takes two to tango? Only someone with a screw loose would come up with such idiotic logic! Following this logic, does it mean that if an Indian man rapes a woman, he can get away with it by saying, "It's all her fault for going out alone"? That's clearly wrong, isn't it?

"Don't rush."

Susie, as if waiting for me to slowly recount the story, said, "Do you remember that day when you mistook my room for a hotel?"

What hotel?

“It was about two weeks ago, the day you came back from Lincoln,” Susie explained. “You and the lord were doing *that* on my bed, making a complete mess of my room.”

"Cough cough..."

Hearing this, Li Cheng coughed awkwardly twice: "Didn't we have someone clean it up later? We were just borrowing the room for a bit."

"I'm still a pure young girl!" Susie made a gesture in an exaggerated way. "That kind of scene would have a huge psychological impact on me, okay? That's why I thought of eavesdropping to see how you guys managed to make such a commotion."

"A pure and innocent girl?"

Li Cheng couldn't help but complain, "Would an innocent girl spend all her time thinking about marrying a man she'd only known for less than a week? Would an innocent girl secretly read pornographic books hidden in a drawer? Would an innocent girl eavesdrop on other people's [beep] sounds? Would an innocent girl know about [beep] and [beep] positions?"

Susie shrugged innocently: "In short, you can't blame me for this. I don't admit it."

Although her reason was a bit far-fetched, it was still passable.

For a moment, Li Cheng was at a loss as to how to deal with the situation.

Susie breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but then suddenly asked a question: "Actually, I have a question too, but I can't find a way to ask it—Lord Newton is so petite, but when I eavesdropped, I noticed that you seemed to get along very well with her, could it be...?"

? !

Li Cheng's voice suddenly rose eight octaves: "What do you mean?"

"I mean."

Susie, who called herself an innocent girl, asked a very innocent question with curiosity in her eyes: "Could it be that... your place is actually very small?"

???

Faced with this issue concerning male dignity, Li Cheng immediately flew into a rage and said, "Nonsense! You're slandering me! Do you believe I'll sue you for defamation?"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, I was just asking casually."

Susie quickly waved her hand to indicate that she meant no harm: "Besides, what kind of relationship do we have? Tell me we're not related."

Li Cheng retorted, "Don't talk nonsense, we're completely innocent, okay?"

Susie explained, “That’s not what I meant. What I meant was—I’m your maid!”

"When did you become my maid? How come I didn't know?" Li Cheng, the person involved, said in shock. "Did you think that maids had a low status, so you decided to become a maid?"

Susie nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I've thought about it in detail recently. Compared to maids, the relationship with a maid is closer, more like family, and you won't be easily dismissed—I think it's perfect for me. Otherwise, it would be a bit strange for me to live in your house all day without a suitable status, wouldn't it?"

"I disagree."

Li Cheng rejected the idea, saying, "I don't need maids."

"Don't be so stingy."

Susie retorted confidently, "Anyway, you're so rich, what's the big deal about hiring another maid? If all else fails, I can be your secret maid, the kind you can make me do anything."

Seeing her shameless behavior, Li Cheng felt a pang of melancholy.

I remember when Susie first came out of the countryside, she was still that clueless country girl who was cautious in everything she did—but now, two months later, she has completely revealed her true colors and evolved into a seasoned veteran.

However, to be fair, the first thing this guy did upon seeing the corpse wasn't to run away, but to loot the valuables and dig up the grave. From this perspective, he wasn't exactly a pushover; he was just a bit unaccustomed to the unfamiliar environment.

"You've gone off on a tangent—are you actually that young?"

Susie seemed very confident in keeping the secret, patting her chest confidently and saying, "Don't worry, as your handmaid, I won't reveal it to anyone—like the fact that you're a wizard, haven't I kept it a secret yet?"

"So even if it really is just a small enoki mushroom, I won't laugh at it."

You bastard, who gave you permission to use such an insulting metaphor? Believe me or not, I'll pull down my pants and scare you to death! What I'm talking about isn't enoki mushrooms, it's Shenzhou-13! Shenzhou-13, capable of carrying people on a mission!!!

"It just so happens that the lord is so petite, which goes very well with enoki mushrooms. She definitely won't mind if you do."

Li Cheng was furious at the constant talk about enoki mushrooms, but he couldn't find a way to prove himself.

Just like in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly," Lao Liu couldn't prove how many bowls of noodles he ate; or like the poor junior in the recent news story who couldn't prove he didn't molest his senior.

Actually, Li Cheng wasn't entirely without options; for example, he could set up a Shenzhou-13 launch pad.

But this method is too bad. Moreover, in a state of extreme anger, blood will only rush to the larger head, making it impossible to set up the Shenzhou-13 launch pad. Even if one wanted to, one would not be able to.

So you really don't need to feel embarrassed.

As they talked, Susie seemed to get a little carried away and blurted out, "Actually, I don't care about size in this regard. If you think a maid should serve you in bed, I'll tolerate it without any lewdness, even if it's just those positions from your erotic novels..."

What kind of innocent girl are you, you bastard! You're clearly a lewd girl!

In a moment of impulsiveness, Li Cheng, like Lao Liu cutting open his stomach, reached down and pulled down his pants, exposing the massive, black, cylindrical Shenzhou-13 rocket to the cold air without reservation, using this most direct and primitive method to prove himself.

"Huh? Ah! Ah?!"

The incident happened suddenly, and since this was the first time she had seen the real thing, the girl Susie looked as if she had been raped. She opened her mouth in terror, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Seeing her speechless with shock, Li Cheng said smugly, "Hehe, how about that? I told you I'm not an enoki mushroom, right?"

Although it was very strange to seriously discuss the model of Shenzhou-13 with a girl, it was a sacrifice made out of necessity to maintain his male pride—anyway, this girl was anything but innocent.

"call......"

The girl slowly recovered from her shock and exhaled, "It startled me. Although it's definitely not an enoki mushroom, it seems to be just average."

What? ? ?

Li Cheng found it hard to believe.

If you think Shenzhou-13 is just so-so, you might as well marry a donkey in the future! You know, Newton was in pain for a whole week and almost suffered from psychological trauma. It took him another week before he was willing to try again!

He looked down in confusion to confirm, only then realizing that Shenzhou-13 was unable to launch due to a lack of preparation, and at first glance it did indeed look very weak.

Susie, lacking experience, was unaware that this was the preparation stage for Shenzhou-13 and assumed it was already fully operational, which is why she thought it was just average.

Li Cheng fell into deep thought.

At this point, all we can do is try to get Shenzhou-13 into the launch preparation phase... Yeah, right! How could we possibly prepare Shenzhou-13 for launch under these circumstances?! The weather conditions are completely wrong, damn it!

Regardless, at least it proves it's not an enoki mushroom... But what's the point of this proof anyway? It's just a temporary victory or defeat; whether you win or lose, you can't derive any joy from it...

Just as Li Cheng was empty-handed and about to pull up his pants to end this meaningless act of competitive spirit, a series of crisp and rapid footsteps came from afar, seemingly heading towards the study.

Ding Ding Ding-

Along with the footsteps came the distant shout of the maid, "Susie, are you in the study? The lord is looking for you!"

It turned out that after Newton ruled out the housekeeper, he tried to go to Freya, whom he trusted. However, Freya refused, saying that she was just a maid and had no expertise in this area.

Left with no other choice, she thought of Susie and instructed the maid to find her.

After making some inquiries, the maid learned that Susie might be in the study, so she rushed there.

hiss--

The two people in the room were unaware of what had happened, and they didn't know whether the person who came in was just a maid, or perhaps—the lord was also following behind.

"Quickly straighten your pants!"

Susie quickly urged him on.

This is indeed the best option, but the problem is that you wear a lot of clothes in winter, and there are no elastic bands in this era. It's easy to take them off, but you can't really put them back on in a short time.

"No, it's too late! This is the only way now..."

......

"Strange, is nobody home? But the door is clearly open..."

Not hearing a reply, the maid A pushed the half-open wooden door to the study open completely, puzzled.

Li Cheng was alone in the study. He sat behind his desk, his left hand supporting his right arm and his right hand propping up his chin. His gaze was deep and his brows were furrowed, as if he was pondering some difficult problem.

Upon seeing the maid A barge in, he glanced up at her and said with a hint of displeasure, "What do you want? You just barged in without even knocking?"

Li Cheng had never shown such a stern and dissatisfied attitude before. Maid A thought for a moment that he was thinking about something very important, and that her rashness and recklessness had interrupted his thoughts.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Maid A bowed somewhat nervously: "The lord asked me to find Miss Susie, and when I saw the study door was open, I..."

Li Cheng's status in the castle has now subtly surpassed that of Newton. On the one hand, everyone knows that the lord has been seduced by him; on the other hand, the construction he has undertaken in the territory has genuinely increased the income of many people, especially the territory's own income, which has increased significantly. Even the maids are living much better lives than before.

"Ah."

Li Cheng seemed to accept the apology, and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, you can continue with your work."

"Um, that..."

Although it seemed to have disturbed Li Cheng's thoughts, the lord's task still had to be completed. Maid A braced herself and asked, "Do you know where Miss Susie is now? I heard from the other servants that she was looking for you, so she has been waiting for you in the study."

Upon hearing this question, Li Cheng's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly as he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the girl, H, who was crouching under the desk with a tuft of hair sticking up on her head.

Susie ultimately chose the nearest table as her hiding place, while Li Cheng simply sat on a chair to cover up the fact that his pants weren't properly pulled up, thus preventing anyone from suspecting that he had done something to straighten his pants earlier.

Faced with the maid's question, Li Cheng certainly couldn't answer, "I know, she's squatting right next to my lap. Should I call her out?"

He immediately rejected the idea with three consecutive denials: "Never seen it, don't know, not clear."

Chapter 206 Strange Play: Roles Mixed Up

"what?"

Hearing Li Cheng's three consecutive rejections, Maid A raised her drooping face and blinked at Li Cheng in confusion: "But Aunt Vera told me that Miss Susie hasn't come out since she went into the study."

"Perhaps he misread it."

Seeing that the maid A was still suspicious, Li Cheng asked in return, "Do you think I'm lying?"

"No...no!"
