Chapter 440: Chapter 300 Frustrated Commandery Prince Mu_2

“Ah!” Si Xi exclaimed, clutching his behind and recovering his senses, only to meet the gloomy face of his master. His heart skipped a beat, and he timidly called out, “Master…”

There was no escape now! No escape at all!

What exactly did his mistress mean by making things mushy? He absolutely couldn’t figure it out, could he?

Not knowing how to respond, Si Xi was so anxious he was nearly crying, his eyes brimming with tears. Seeing Zhou Mu’s frown tighten and eventually compress into a thin line.

It’s a blessing not a curse; if it’s a curse, you can’t avoid it. The more you speak, the more errors you make, so better keep it straightforward and simple!

Thinking this, Si Xi steeled his heart, shut his eyes, and blurted out, “Master, don’t ask Si Xi about the mistress’s affairs. If you ask Si Xi, Si Xi won’t tell!”

“Eek!” Yuan Bao exclaimed upon hearing this, nearly stumbling and falling over.

This was not just disregarding the master, this was defying him!

This was truly seeking death!

But Si Xi hadn’t spilled everything yet, his expression desperate, he continued, “The mistress said, if Si Xi says too much in front of master, then Si Xi shouldn’t return!”

At this point, Si Xi finally opened his eyes, timidly looking at his own master, pleading, “Master, Si Xi was originally serving the female master. Si Xi doesn’t want to leave the mistress… sniff!”

Zhou Mu looked at the pitiful Si Xi before him, choked with emotion, his face ashen.

“Si Xi, how can you be so blind! I ask, and you answer; how can you even haggle!” Yuan Bao yelled angrily, grabbing Si Xi by the ear and roaring, “Master is worried about Lady Changsheng. How could you start guarding against your own master like this? You ungrateful wretch!”

With his ear caught by Yuan Bao, Si Xi dared not struggle, suffering through the pain but still managing to explain, “The mistress isn’t an outsider! I’m not being disloyal!”

“You!”

Yuan Bao was suddenly choked off by Si Xi’s words.

If he dared to say Lady Changsheng was an outsider, his master would definitely not treat him kindly!

Knowing the situation, Yuan Bao immediately shut his mouth and reluctantly let go of Si Xi’s ear.

With his ear finally free, Si Xi quickly jumped to the side, far away from Yuan Bao, to avoid further misfortune.

“Master, please don’t ask Si Xi anymore. If Si Xi says anything, he won’t be able to serve by Lady Changsheng’s side anymore!” Si Xi said with hands clasped and a face begging for mercy as he looked up at the seated Zhou Mu.

“That’s Lady Changsheng just scaring you! Only someone as timid as you would believe that!” Yuan Bao sneered immediately.

But Zhou Mu, with a face growing darker, shook his head almost imperceptibly and said, “My love never speaks idly; if she says so, she will do it!”

“Uh…” Yuan Bao was momentarily speechless.

“Exactly, exactly! Master, the mistress is a person of her word. What she says is set in stone, no doubt about it! Si Xi doesn’t dare take risks, please forgive and let Si Xi go back!” Si Xi said jubilantly, while kindly making a suggestion, “Master, why not ask Ning Er and the others? They definitely know more than I do!”

Lady Changsheng has said, ‘Each man for himself, God for us all.’ Si Xi thought this made a lot of sense!

So he sold out his fellow servants with great alacrity!

Upon hearing these words, a glimmer of hope flashed through Zhou Mu’s eyes, and he impatiently waved his hand, “Withdraw!”

Si Xi, understanding the dismissal, immediately knelt and kowtowed before running off, looking as if he was being chased by wild beasts!

Yuan Bao watched Si Xi’s fleeing figure disappear instantly, his mouth twitching violently.

That Si Xi! Really!

“Avoid my love, bring Ning Er here!” Zhou Mu commanded disheartedly as he waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao’s eyes widened in surprise and confusion, “Master, Si Xi wouldn’t say anything, would Ning Er?”

He was already losing hope in getting any information about Lady Changsheng from Ning Er…

Zhou Mu’s brow furrowed deeply, his voice filled with barely contained anger, “Si Xi was specifically chosen for the female master; it’s only natural for him to listen to my love. Ning Er is different!”

Having received not a single useful piece of information from Si Xi, Zhou Mu’s anxiety intensified.

Even though he knew the likelihood of getting Lady Changsheng’s thoughts from Ning Er was low, Zhou Mu just couldn’t give up.

Not knowing her thoughts, Zhou Mu couldn’t find peace.

The feeling of anxiety, combined with the sense of defeat Si Xi brought, pushed the normally composed Zhou Mu almost to the edge; he truly wished he could grab the woman who had captivated his heart and thoroughly inquire what she was thinking.

Seeing his master this way, Yuan Bao knew there was no room for negotiation, his normally plump, jovial face suddenly drooping.

He felt as if his master was on the verge of madness…

“Yuan Bao, does this prince really have no appeal to women?” Zhou Mu asked, his brow creased in perplexity.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao widened his eyes, “Master, what are you talking about? You have no appeal to women? You’re like a Divine Residence to all women everywhere! Whether young or old, who wouldn’t be completely infatuated when they see you? How could you possibly have no appeal!”

While saying this, Yuan Bao was already inwardly wailing. Godfather, his master was starting to doubt his own charm!

“Since that’s the case, why is my love still so distracted…” Zhou Mu murmured dejectedly.

Yuan Bao immediately covered his face. He’s losing his mind! He’s definitely losing his mind!

While the master and servant were endlessly entangled in their worries, Si Xi, who had fled in panic, raced all the way back to the Gu Residence, only daring to stop then.

Upon hearing of Si Xi’s return, Gu Changsheng promptly emerged from the tent, his stunning Phoenix Eyes sparkling with glee, his radiant face full of excitement, and he rushed towards Si Xi…
