Chapter 464 - The Tragic Lan Family Elders (3)
“Her? No! I can’t afford to use the most favored fifth daughter of the Lan family!” Leng Ruoxue didn’t want to see that woman.
“…”
The First Elder and Third Elder were depressed when they heard Leng Ruoxue’s words. They couldn’t help but grumble in their hearts. You can’t afford to use her, but you can afford to use us. What kind of logic is this!
“Alright, your job today is to follow them. Do whatever they ask you to do. Don’t have any doubts! Otherwise, your monthly pay will be deducted.” Leng Ruoxue ignored the conflicted and depressed expressions of the two old men and continued.
“Uh! You still want to deduct our monthly pay?” The First Elder couldn’t help asking. Five hundred amethyst coins a month, what would be left if they deducted a little more? Moreover, this stingy girl was not going to provide any food and lodging. Wasn’t she making them go hungry?
“Of course. In your Lan family, servants’ pay has to be deducted if they make a mistake too! Such a rule is common everywhere!” Leng Ruoxue said understandingly.
“First Elder, let’s go quickly!” The Third Elder couldn’t help but suggest. They couldn’t scheme against this little girl. Their pay might be deducted if they stayed any longer!
“Ah! Let’s go, let’s go quickly!” The First Elder hurriedly said after reacting. He didn’t dare to stay any longer. Otherwise, who knew what this little girl would come up with again!
With that, the two old men disappeared into the living room.
“Haha!” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help laughing as she watched the First Elder and Third Elder run out of the living room.
“Hehe! Lass! These two old men are really too timid!” Old Man Zao said with a smile, in a very good mood.
“It’s not that they are timid, but they have never seen people like you. No one in the Lan family dares to treat them like this at all,” Lan Ming said with incomparable pity. He had been with Leng Ruoxue and the others for a long time and had already slowly adapted to their way of doing things. However, the First Elder and the Third Elder were obviously still unable to adapt!
“Don’t worry, I’ll let them understand us better,” Old Man Zao promised while patting his chest.
“Uh! Can you not torment them too badly for my sake?” Lan Ming pleaded.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ll show mercy.” Old Man Zao left the living room after speaking.
“Ruoxue, I’m leaving too.” Lin Liang greeted her and left.
“Everyone, disperse! I’m going to sleep for a while!” Leng Ruoxue dragged the freak back to her room.
After returning to her room, Leng Ruoxue brought the freak directly into the bracelet.
“Mommy!” A little red furball jumped directly into Leng Ruoxue’s arms and whined when it saw her.
“Huo’er, you seem to have gained weight?” Leng Ruoxue looked at the chubby little guy in her arms and asked doubtfully.
“Mommy! I didn’t grow fat!” Little Fire said aggrievedly with tears in its pink eyes.
“Haha, I told you you’ve gained weight!” Baby’s voice sounded, and then a black furball jumped into Leng Ruoxue’s arms.
“Baby, you seem to have gained weight too!” Leng Ruoxue said in surprise. Baby had not changed much since she knew Baby. However, she realized today that Baby seemed to have become rounder!
“Big Sister, you haven’t cared about me for a long time, that’s why you thought I was fat. Boohoo… Actually, I’ve always had a standard figure!” Baby was also very aggrieved and choked up a little.
“Uh! I’m sorry! Baby, Big Sister has been too busy recently. Why don’t Big Brother Freak come in to play with you every day!” Leng Ruoxue suggested.
“I don’t want to!” The human and beast refused in unison, and they looked at Leng Ruoxue with fawning eyes.
“Objection overruled. It’s settled!” Leng Ruoxue smiled evilly and sent Huo’er and Baby into the freak’s arms. Then she said, “Freak, play with them for a while! I’ll go concoct some pills!”
With that, Leng Ruoxue left the man and the two beasts and entered the purple bamboo hut!
“Xue’er!” the freak called out softly from behind Leng Ruoxue. Unfortunately, Leng Ruoxue ignored him. Boohoo… He didn’t want to accompany these beasts that only knew how to compete for favor with him!
“Haha! In fact, Xue’er’s beasts are quite cute!” Empty’s voice sounded from behind the freak!
“If you like them, I’ll leave them to you!” The freak hurriedly threw Baby into Empty’s arms.
“Why didn’t you give Huo’er to me?” Empty said in puzzlement.
“He’s my son!” the freak said matter-of-factly. Huo’er called Xue’er Mommy and called him Daddy! Of course, he couldn’t give it to others!
“Hehe, Daddy, Huo’er loves you and Mommy so much!” Huo’er acted coquettishly.
“Good! By the way, Empty, how are your injuries?” the freak asked with concern.
“Much better. However, it’s impossible to completely heal my injuries unless…” Empty hesitated. He had long seen through it. He was already very satisfied that he could recover some strength after staying in this space for so long. How could he dare to hope for his injuries to recover completely!
“Do you need any rare herbs? There aren’t any here?” the freak asked in puzzlement. He might not know much about herbs, but he knew very well that the herbs in Xue’er’s space were already very complete. If Xue’er didn’t have any, then it must be very rare!
“Yes, there isn’t any here,” Empty said indifferently. In all these years, saving Icy was his only wish. He had never thought about himself.
“There will always be hope if you live. You have to believe in miracles!” the freak comforted.
“Yes, as long as we are alive, nothing else is important!” Empty sighed in agreement.
The two of them chatted…
Leng Ruoxue saw the two of them chatting happily when she emerged from the purple bamboo hut after refining the pills. She didn’t know what they were talking about!
Leng Ruoxue quietly came behind them and patted their shoulders mischievously. Then she teased, “What are you talking about? Don’t tell me you’re talking bad about me!”
“How did you know?” Empty raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Xue’er, why would we say bad things about you!” the freak said aggrievedly, tears flashing in his bright starry eyes.
