Chapter 3346: Chapter 3347: Unexpected Absence
"What are you doing, fumbling around like this? Don’t you know there are many guests here today? How inappropriate!" Elder Zhu spotted the maid from a distance, and frowned as she wandered around anxiously.
Anyone who doesn’t know would think something major has happened at the City Lord’s Mansion.
"This servant..."
The maid was so flustered that she was too nervous to speak.
Thinking that if the young lady couldn’t hold back and ran out to confront the Junior City Lord’s wife before she managed to find the Sixth Elder?
Then she’ll be beaten to death by the Sixth Elder when she gets back!
"Which part of the City Lord’s Mansion are you a maid from?" Elder Zhu questioned her coldly. By her attire, it seemed she wasn’t from the City Lord’s Mansion, but he couldn’t tell which family she was from.
After all, in such situations, no master would allow their maid to run around like this.
"This servant... this servant is..."
"Speak quickly!"
Seeing the maid become even more nervous, Elder Zhu shouted sternly, scaring the maid so much that she fell to her knees with a thud.
"Mercy, Elder Zhu, this servant serves Miss Yuanyuan from the Sixth Elder’s residence. The young lady wants to find the Sixth Elder, so this servant was looking around."
She dared not tell Elder Zhu that her young lady intended to cause trouble in the City Lord’s Mansion, otherwise, Elder Zhu might eat the Sixth Elder alive!
She would also suffer, and even if it didn’t kill her, she would lose a layer of skin.
"Nonsense, do you think I’m so easy to deceive? With your panicked look just now, you’re simply searching for the Sixth Elder to meet Yuanyuan?" Elder Zhu naturally didn’t believe the maid’s words; his expression grew worse.
This Yuanyuan has been reckless since childhood, daring to do anything outrageous, thinking her father would always cover for her.
But sometimes, even her father can’t cover her.
"Speak, what’s really going on?"
"This servant..."
The maid, realizing she couldn’t hide the truth any longer, lowered her head even more.
"Mercy, Elder Zhu. It’s the young lady; she wants this servant to lure the Junior City Lord’s wife to a secluded place. This servant didn’t dare to do so, and thus was looking for the Sixth Elder."
How was she to know that the Sixth Elder, who usually enjoyed mingling among the family heads, would not be present?
And it turned out she ran into Elder Zhu; she really felt like crying!
She absolutely did not want to bump into Elder Zhu, only wanted to quickly find the Sixth Elder to tell him about the young lady’s plan, and let him handle this troublesome matter.
"Absurd!"
Elder Zhu’s face immediately turned dark, and he cursed.
She truly didn’t guess wrong; this little girl really dared to do anything. Now, empowered by being the daughter of the Sixth Elder, she even dared to trip the Junior City Lord’s wife?
"Someone, come!"
"Master, please give your orders."
At her command, two men walked over from the side and looked at her respectfully.
"Go and capture Shen Yuan for me and bring her to my place," Elder Zhu instructed them.
"Yes, Master."
The two men accepted the order and left. Afterwards, Elder Zhu didn’t bother with the maid and also left.
Maid: "!!!"
What should she do? Now that the young lady is captured by Elder Zhu, it’s almost certain.
If this gets back to the Sixth Elder, he might eat her, this poor little maid alive, but she couldn’t stop it. What should she do?
"No, I have to find the Sixth Elder!"
She couldn’t just sit and wait for death; she must find the Sixth Elder to rescue her young lady.
