Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 210: Visit
The Chu Family, Chen Muxue took small, quick steps towards the woodshed, only to see Lin Qing tied up tightly by several servants, one of whom was attempting to stuff an unidentifiable rag into his mouth.
Shockingly, the esteemed disciple of the Sixth Elder of the Liuyun Sect had fallen to such a state!
"Chen—having witnessed the boundless sea, one can hardly accept mere water!" Lin Qing saw Chen Muxue and nearly shouted in excitement, catching himself just in time.
The servants were left bewildered by this, all turning their gaze to Chen Muxue. Could this be some secret signal? But wasn’t he just a hostage?
It was said he was a servant of the Huo Family’s eldest young master, yet both were servants. Why did he, a mere personal servant, deserve such an elegant appearance? It was infuriating, hence their decision to teach him a lesson.
Unexpectedly, the man was quite tenacious; though they managed to tie the ropes, they couldn’t get the rag into his mouth.
Though the scene was quite amusing, Chen Muxue lightly cleared her throat and intervened, "Alright, with me here, he wouldn’t dare make any moves. What can his mouth do, spit me to death?"
Inside, Lin Qing was full of indignation. Why is it that when both are pretending to be someone else, you get to strut around while I, a proud disciple of the Liuyun Sect, have to suffer at the hands of servants in a woodshed?
Sigh, surely Miss Chen has sensed something, leading her to take such revenge. Perhaps her initial suggestion for us to disguise ourselves and infiltrate the Chu Family was due to her little feelings for me, wanting some alone time together.
It can’t just be because of a cat, can it?
Alas, my heart belongs only to Shi’er!
Chen Muxue, observing Lin Qing’s ever-changing expressions, had lost interest in guessing his thoughts. She said, "This person must be well cared for, as he is extremely important to the Huo Family’s eldest young master and is intended to be a key bait."
The servants exchanged puzzled glances.
A servant important to the Huo Family’s eldest young master?
No wonder his appearance was so distinguished, he turned out to be—
The conclusion was tacitly understood among the servants, who snickered softly.
Who would have thought that the Huo Family’s eldest young master had such preferences!
Lin Qing obviously sensed the atmosphere around him, rolling his eyes at Chen Muxue in exasperation.
Chen Muxue adjusted her cloak, "I feel a heavy aura in the residence today; has there been any significant change recently?"
At those words, the servants instead fell silent, all lowering their heads, not daring to speak further.
"Bad news! Eunuch, the eldest young master of the Huo Family has come to the residence asking for this servant!" a servant hurriedly rushed in.
"Why is that bad news?" Chen Muxue remained unfazed, "This is perfect timing!"
Huo Lian actually came at this moment, how wonderful, truly a good teammate.
The servants’ eyes were fixed on Chen Muxue as she waved her hand, putting on a show, "Prepare the formation!"
Huo Lian didn’t expect to enter the Chu Family so easily, to the point that even the gatekeeping seemed merely for show.
Chu Family’s second master, Chu Yue, tugged at his small mustache, greeting Huo Lian with a smile, yet his eyes couldn’t help but assess the maid behind him.
The Second Prince, disguised as a servant, discreetly positioned himself beside Yan Luan, who was posing as a maid, blocking Chu Yue’s lascivious stare.
Yan Luan gave a knowing smile and threw the Second Prince a flirtatious glance.
Blocked from view, Chu Yue then returned to addressing Huo Lian, "What brings the esteemed young master of the Huo Family to this humble abode today?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Haha, I was thinking, since both the Huo Family and the Chu Family are prominent families in the Capital City, we should strengthen our connections," Huo Lian said, casually brushing the tea presented to him with its lid.
A trace of disdain flashed in Chu Yue’s eyes. A merchant family like yours, reeking of wealth, dares to be on par with my Chu Family?
