Chapter 36.2
“Mother Liu, please let me go. I just want to be a peaceful servant, and I really can’t help you,” Li Wu begged the woman in front of him with a bitter face.
Not long after Li Wu left the bookstore, he was abruptly pulled into a deserted alley. At first, he thought it was a robbery, but seeing who it was, he lamented that being robbed might have been a better fate. At least he could get some money to deal with the trouble without risking his life.
Mother Liu wasn’t angered by Li Wu’s plea; instead, she seemed relieved. If the third young master could handle this mischievous servant, it meant he was quite capable.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t come here today to ask you to do anything bad. I just want to know how the third young master is doing recently. Is he comfortable living in the villa? Is there anything he needs?”
Li Wu glanced at the other party suspiciously. Although he didn’t know why Aunt Liu would ask these questions, he still said honestly, “The young master is living quite comfortably in the villa. There is nothing missing.”
A few talismans from the young master could be sold for a lot of silver. Life now was much better than when he was in the Li Mansion. What he lacked was probably a cook. However, the young master didn’t like too much people, so he could only wait for Xiao Liu to learn more cooking skills.
“You really don’t lack anything?” Mother Liu asked.
“Yes, there is everything in the villa. The young master does not lack anything. Mother Liu, if you have nothing else to do, I will go back first,” Li Wu said with a flattering smile, hoping Mother Liu would let him slip away, only to be caught again the next moment.
Mother Liu took out a baggage and handed it to Li Wu, “This is for the third young master. Find an opportunity to give it to him.”
Li Wu didn’t even look at what was inside the baggage and hurriedly said, “No, no, no, Mother Liu. The young master has told me not to accept anyone’s things, not even from the madam. If I go against the young master’s wishes. I will definitely be punished, so please don’t embarrass me.”
After leaving the city, Li Tianyan was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he stopped the carriage on the roadside path and waited. After a while, Li Wu, who was driving in front, saw two tall men limping toward them. Due to the backlight, Li Wu couldn’t see the appearance of the two people clearly.
The two of them walked to the side of the carriage before stopping. One of them, a big man, had a rough voice but was full of fear. He said to the people in the carriage, “The young one heard the master’s call, I don’t know what the master has to say.”
“Here.”
“There are fifteen thousand taels and a list of medicinal materials. You can buy everything as written on my list and send it to me in the villa.” Li Tianyan handed a few pieces of paper to the two through the carriage window.
“Don’t worry, Master, we will take care of it for you.” The two responded respectfully after taking the things.
It was only then that Li Wu recognized these two strong men as the ones who surrounded them on the road that day. Unexpectedly, they were also subdued by the young master. However, their appearance left Li Wu trembling. The young master was indeed kind to him.
“Li Wu, let’s go,” Li Tianyan finished his work and spoke to Li Wu.
“Yes, young master.” Li Wu glanced at the backs of the two strong men leaving, quickly swung the reins, and drove away.
Cheng Qi, who was sitting in the carriage, didn’t see the two people and didn’t know what happened. He only took the dagger Li Tianyan gave him and carefully played with it in his hand. After a while, he kept putting it in the storage bag. He took things out and put them back again, his face full of surprise.
Li Tianyan watched him take things back and forth. Except for the dagger, it was all full of candied haws. He found it funny. Sure enough, he was still a little kid.
