Chapter 2122: Let’s Play a Game
“Yes.” The maid left with the pig’s trotter soup.
Ning Shu felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, she had learned an important piece of information just now: the original host’s father had passed away, but the funeral probably hadn’t been held yet.
The maid quickly came back. Ning Shu told her, “Pour me some more tea.”
The maid immediately poured more tea into the teacup and handed it over.
Ning Shu took a sip before saying, “Let’s play a game called ‘I ask, you answer.’ If you answer my questions correctly, you will be rewarded. If you answer them incorrectly, you will be punished.”
“Okay.” The maid nodded vigorously like she was pounding garlic.
“What is your name?” Ning Shu asked.
“This servant’s name is Xi Tao.”
“Correct.”
“What’s my name?”
“Miss’s name is Fang Lanxin.”
So the original host was named Fang Lanxin.
“Who is Eldest Young Master Gu?”
“Miss, what’s wrong with you?” Xi Tao asked Ning Shu.
“This is just a game, isn’t it?” Ning Shu indifferently raised her teacup and took another sip.
“Oh, Eldest Young Master Gu, Second Young Master Mo, and Young Master Li are all your husbands…”
“Pfft, cough cough cough cough…” Ning Shu spat out the tea in her mouth. The shock had caused her to choke on the burning hot tea.
“Miss, what’s the matter with you?” Xi Tao quickly walked closer and patted Ning Shu’s back. “Miss, are you all right?”
She took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tea around Ning Shu’s mouth.
Ning Shu wiped away her tears from choking. “I’m fine, I just drank too fast.”
“They’re all my husbands?” Ning Shu asked, the corners of her mouth twitching.
“Yes, they’re your marriage candidates and the master’s adopted sons. Although they’re known as the adopted sons, they’re actually Miss’s marriage candidates. The master said that whoever the miss falls in love with and marries will inherit the master’s vast wealth.”
Ning Shu: …
Her family was so powerful.
Ning Shu coughed and asked, “What does my family do for a living?”
“Miss’s family does everything: selling cloth, buying and selling tea and herbal medicines, anything that makes money,” Xi Tao said.
Too bad the old man had died.
Ning Shu had no storyline, no memory, and now she had to face three marriage candidates who knew the original host.
“Then, who do I like?” Ning Shu asked.
“Miss, this servant’s not sure. Eldest Young Master Gu, Gu Rui, is mature and stable, with a calm appearance. He’s been helping the master to take care of the family’s business and is the dream lover of many girls in the county. Second Young Master Mo… Second Young Master Mo-“
“What about Second Young Master Mo?” Ning Shu asked.
“Second Young Master Mo, Mo Juechen, is androgynous, enchanting, and charming, but he’s too unpredictable. Everything depends on his mood. This servant once witnessed him ordering for a servant to be beaten to death. He watched the whole thing with a smile.” Xi Tao trembled. She was obviously afraid of Mo Juechen.
“What about Young Master Li?” Ning Shu asked despairingly.
“Young Master Li, Li Jiuge, is around the same age as Miss. He’s young, handsome, romantic, and affectionate. I’ve noticed that Miss likes to talk to Young Master Li the most,” Xi Tao said.
Ning Shu: …
The initial impression Ning Shu had of these three people was that they were all big shots. Why on Earth would they decide to gather in the home of one businessman?
“How did Father die?” Ning Shu handed the teacup back to Xi Tao. She’d finished her tea.
“Miss, don’t you remember? The master contracted the plague.” Xi Tao stared at Ning Shu.
“Father…” Ning Shu managed to squeeze out some tears.
