Chapter 1053: Chapter 1051: Trouble Caused by Thousand-Weave Embroidery
At dusk, Chi Liu dragged Lu Xiaodie back, but she was unconscious.
Wufu looked at the woman on the ground, then at Chi Liuâs face, and exclaimed, "Youâve only been out for a short time and your pretty face is scratched up? What if it ruins your looks? The ladies do prefer handsome lads."
Chi Liuâs face flushed, and he pointed at Lu Xiaodie, saying, "This little wench has sharp claws and thought I was causing her trouble. She screamed and shouted, then scratched and kicked. I had no choice..."
Wufu shot him a disdainful look for failing to handle even a maid and clicked his tongue, instructing Jadeite, "Wake her up."
"Yes, Miss." Jadeite swiftly took out a Silver Needle and pricked Lu Xiaodie twice, and heard a faint sound as the person on the ground stirred.
Lu Xiaodie slowly opened her eyes, seeing Chi Liu standing not far away, along with two ladies and a child. She quickly regained clarity and stood up: "Who are you? What do you want by capturing me?" She thought for a moment, her gaze wary, and asked, "Are you sent by Madam Wang?"
"Oh? Do you think if we were sent by Madam Wang, youâd be standing here speaking peacefully?" Wufu raised his eyebrow.
Lu Xiaodieâs expression changed several times and she said, "Then who are you?"
"Donât worry, our Miss means no harm, she merely wishes to ask you something!" Jadeite saw her bristle like a hedgehog and couldnât help soothing her.
Lu Xiaodie sneered, "No harm? Who captures someone in that manner if not with ill intent? Iâve never seen people summoned like this." She glared at Chi Liu twice, knowing it was he who knocked her out. Despicable.
"You refused to cooperate, so we had no choice but to offend you. And if we waited slowly for your cooperation, Iâm afraid you wouldnât see the next dayâs sun, and I wouldnât learn what I wish to know," Wufu chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaodieâs face drastically changed, and she retreated two steps, saying, "What nonsense are you talking?"
"Donât believe it? How about we bet?" Wufu said, "Chi Liu, take her back and wait with her to see if Madam Wang sends someone to kill her tonight."
Chi Liu felt a toothache, thinking, "Miss, are you messing with me? After all the effort to bring her back, now you want her sent back?"
Lu Xiaodieâs face went pale, but she forced herself to remain calm and suspiciously looked at Wufu: "You know Madam Wang? What exactly do you want?"
"Nothing much, Iâm just curious." Wufu touched his nails and asked, "The incident today at Rongxiu Pavilion, what you said, I heard it all. Iâm just curious, you said they are murderers, how did you mean that?"
"Are you really not sent by Madam Wang?" Lu Xiaodie hesitantly asked.
Jadeite rolled her eyes, "If we were, would we still be wasting words with you?"
Lu Xiaodie was taken aback, thought about it, and realized if it were Madam Wang, sheâd hardly be so polite. She lightly pursed her lips and asked, "Do you know how Rongxiu Pavilion became famous?"
"Of course, the exclusive Thousand-Weave Su embroidery."
Lu Xiaodie coldly snorted, a trace of hatred in her eyes, and said, "That Thousand-Weave Embroidery is my motherâs unique craft. Madam Wang deceived my mother, used vile and dirty means to seize this embroidery method, and caused my motherâs death. She wonât die a peaceful death!"
Wufu and Jadeite exchanged a glance.
"Sit down and talk."
Lu Xiaodie took a look at the two, sat down, and only after taking a sip of tea did she start to narrate the story in detail.
