Chapter 33
Bathe Separately
Bai Wutong met Captain Ye’s sharp gaze and her face darkened. “We have never accepted his indenture. It’s all Mister Huang’s wishful thinking. Captain Ye, don’t misunderstand.” She understood Captain Ye’s anxiety for his nephew. It did not mean that she was not angry when she was threatened.
Bai Wutong’s originally gentle gaze instantly turned cold.
Huang Zhong’s expression changed as he looked anxiously at Bai Wutong. “But I…”
Bai Wutong interrupted him and said sharply, “Mister Huang, it’s not as easy to be a servant as you think. We have to make our pick too. If you really want to repay our kindness, you have already done so just now. You should quickly reunite with your uncle.”
No one could accept the fact that their nephew was being despised as a servant.
Knowing that Bai Wutong was deliberately trying to make Huang Zhong give up, Ye Wu still looked a little embarrassed.
He grabbed Huang Zhong’s hand and said in a deep voice, “Since she has already said that you are not qualified to be a servant, follow me back obediently. As long as Uncle is alive, you will have food to eat!”
Huang Zhong said anxiously, “Uncle! I’m not leaving! They didn’t give me a bowl of water, but the hope of living. It was with such hope that I made it to outside of Beiyun City in one go. When I almost starved to death because I couldn’t enter the city, they gave me food again and even asked the villagers to take care of me so that I could continue living! It was them who had helped me twice. They saved me twice! I have nothing but gratitude! I can only repay them with my body.”
He was bent on becoming a servant. How could Ye Wu let down his sister’s soul in heaven?
With Bai Wutong and her family’s assets, they could not repay their kindness with money.
Ye Wu was furious. He carried him up and said to Bai Wutong, “I will keep my word. As I said, if you need anything, look for me. I will definitely not refuse.” He wanted to take responsibility for all the favor his nephew owed them.
“Farewell!”
Huang Zhong, who was struggling like a little chick on Ye Wu’s back, was still shouting at them from dozens of meters away. “Master! I will definitely come back!”
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes. Did he think he was the cartoon character Gray Wolf?
The villagers had never seen a house that was even more magnificent than this. All of them seemed like old ladies who had entered a grand garden and did not dare to step on it.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao walked in front and heard Zhao Pengfei ask Village Chief Zhao in a low voice, “Dad, this house is worth a few hundred taels, right?”
Village Chief Zhao had never lived in such a grand residence before, so how could he know how much it was worth? He thought for a moment and shared his guess with Zhao Pengfei, “More than that. It should be worth a few thousand taels.”
Zhao Pengfei immediately widened his eyes in shock. “So expensive!”
It was already good enough that their family could save a few taels of silver a year. A few thousand taels of silver was unimaginable.
He couldn’t help but pat Lin Yue on the shoulder. “Brother Lin, is this house really worth a few thousand taels?” This was too expensive.
Lin Yue smiled and wagged his finger. “Not a few thousand taels, but tens of thousands.”
When Village Chief Zhao and Zhao Pengfei heard this, their mouths opened wide at the same time. Zhao Pengfei sighed and said, “Madam Bai and the others are too rich!”
Lin Yue showed off in a low-key manner. “It’s normal, this is only the simplest building.”
And this was the simplest building!
Oh my!
Then their most luxurious house must be made of gold!
No wonder they wanted to hide their identities. With such a background, they naturally did not dare to reveal it to outsiders.
Bai Wutong glanced at the envious Village Chief Zhao and his son and gestured for Lin Yue to restrain himself. She sighed in her heart. ‘As expected of the richest man! The amount of assets under his fingernails was far superior to that of ordinary people.’
The house was big enough for everyone in the Zhao farmyard to settle down.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were brought to the main room by the butler, while Stinky was brought to drink milk by the nanny arranged by Lin Yue.
Soon, a group of beautiful maidservants walked in and asked Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao if they wanted to take a bath and change their clothes.
Of course, Bai Wutong said, “Go and prepare now.”
The leading green-clothed maidservant glanced at Chu Tianbao and asked carefully, “Are Madam and Master going to bathe?”
It took Bai Wutong a second to realize that she was asking her if she wanted to take a bath with Chu Tianbao.
Bai Wutong glanced at Chu Tianbao and felt a lot of emotions. The ancient people were not as conservative as she thought.
She shook her head. “No, we’ll bathe separately.”
The maidservant in green heaved a sigh of relief and sent the servants to prepare.
The bathroom was behind the bedroom. She could just enter from the side.
As soon as she entered, Bai Wutong was stunned.
A huge white marble bath that was filled with classical extravagance appeared in front of her. The tap was spraying warm water, and bright petals were scattered in the water.
The continuous water vapor came in contact with her face, allowing Bai Wutong to regain some sense of reality.
She sighed again. As expected of the richest man!
The design of the bathroom and the master bedroom was excellent. They had already considered the problem of their masters wanting to bathe at the same time. Therefore, a hazy screen in the middle divided the entire bathroom into two. Both of them could bathe at the same time without disturbing each other.
Bai Wutong was at one end, and Chu Tianbao was at the other end.
The maidservants were about to help Chu Tianbao change his clothes when his expression suddenly changed. He shouted, “Wife, wife, where are you?”
When Bai Wutong heard this, she went around and saw Chu Tianbao hiding behind a pillar. The maidservants in front turned around and saw Bai Wutong appear. They all knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation.
Bai Wutong said, “All of you, go out. Let him wash himself.”
The maidservants filed out. Chu Tianbao immediately jumped in front of Bai Wutong and complained angrily, “They want to take off Tianbao’s clothes.”
Bai Wutong said, “If you don’t want anyone to serve you, wash yourself. Wash yourself clean. I don’t know when you’ll be able to bathe again.”
Chu Tianbao said pitifully, “Where’s wife going? I can’t see you.”
Bai Wutong broke free of his sleeve. “I’m just beside you. When you’re done, go to the bedroom and sleep. There’s tea and snacks on the table. If you want to eat, eat some.”
Chu Tianbao blinked. “I want to be with my wife.”
Bai Wutong pulled a long face, and Chu Tianbao immediately took off his clothes obediently.
His strong chest was exposed, and his muscles were as smooth as the most perfect global male model.
Bai Wutong took a look and blushed. She hurriedly looked away and said, “The clothes are at the side. Come out after you’re dressed, understand?”
Chu Tianbao took off his pants and nodded. “Okay, wife.”
Bai Wutong didn’t dare look back. When she returned to the bathroom, she still felt a little hot.
She was not used to being served in the bath. She said to the maidservants, “You guys can leave too.”
After the maidservants left, Bai Wutong took off her clothes and entered the white jade bath that had a suitable water temperature.
After so many days without a bath, it felt wonderful to be in the water.
Bai Wutong saw a very exquisite box at the side. She opened it and saw all kinds of beautifully printed bath beans.
She picked it up and smelled it. There was a refreshing fragrance, a dense floral fragrance, and a sweet fragrance…
Bai Wutong picked a piece that she liked and slowly scrubbed it.
While she was washing, the sound of splashing water suddenly came from the bath beside.
Chu Tianbao’s deep voice sounded. “Get lost!”
Bai Wutong immediately stood up warily. Before she could reach the edge of the white jade bath, the hazy screen between her and Chu Tianbao suddenly broke.
