The visitor spoke loudly and arrogantly.
Wang Laowu apologized desperately, "Sorry, sorry, Housekeeper Yao, I just picked up the young lady and got so excited that I forgot the rules. It's my fault, please don't hurt your body by getting angry."
Housekeeper Yao snorted through his nose, sarcastically, "What young lady? Our Xi family only has one young lady, and that's young lady Xi Ruzhu!"
The hallway was pitch black, so he couldn't see Zuzi's face, only a white blur.
Given that she came from the countryside, she must have been raised by those poor people to be crude, ugly, and foolish.
If that weren't the case, the madam and sir wouldn't have let this fool sit idle for half a year before bringing her back.
Obviously, they don't like her.
Besides, he had grown up serving Xi Ruzhu and Xi Rubao, and seeing Xi Ruzhu become a bit melancholy over the past six months due to her status as an adopted child, and Xi Rubao threatening to jump off a building, made him grow more hostile towards this interloper, Xi Zuzi.
His words were naturally blunt: "Some random country bumpkin, you haven't even done a DNA test, and you dare claim to be the young lady? Wang Laowu, don't mistake a country dog for your master!"
Wang Laowu's expression changed slightly.
It was one thing to curse him, but cursing the young lady... he felt a bit uncomfortable.
Tonight, in the mountains, he and the young lady had gone through life and death together. Though the little girl was often silly, she was very loyal. She comforted him when he got caught in a tree by a demon wind and even praised him for being successful because he listened to his wife.
In fact, he was silently moved.
For the first time in his life, Wang Laowu retorted to his superior, "Housekeeper Yao, I may be a country dog, but you're impressive, you're like the Howling Celestial Dog. No matter what place the young lady holds in the family, it was the sir and madam's order to bring her back. Are you suggesting I report back to the sir and madam now, saying you don't recognize her and want to throw the young lady out?"
Housekeeper Yao: "..."
Damn, even a country dog bites now!
His eyelids twitched several times, and unable to retort, he snorted to save face, "It's the middle of the night, why bother the sir and madam with noise? Hurry up and take her in to sleep, we'll talk in the morning!"
He untied a large bunch of keys and fumbled with them inside.
Yet, he heard Zuzi's voice suddenly stern behind him, speaking to Wang Laowu, "Xiao Wu, it's not appropriate for you to say that."
She paused, speaking earnestly, "The Howling Celestial Dog looks quite handsome, but it hasn't become so disheveled."
Wang Laowu chuckled foolishly, "Young lady, you're right to scold me."
Housekeeper Yao stumbled, "..."
Damn, am I now worse than a dog?
A country girl, does she have the nerve to call him ugly?
He was just about to argue when, looking up, he saw Zuzi under the porch light seriously advising Wang Laowu.
Her skin was like snow, her eyes bright and her teeth white, with every movement exuding a captivating aura, simply like a celestial beauty.
Housekeeper Yao swallowed his words as they stuck in his throat.
He must be seeing things.
It must be because he looked at the poster for Xi Ruzhu's violin recital during the day so much, with her blend of beauty and talent, that he imprinted her image in his mind...
But to speak from the heart, compared with the stunning beauty in front, Xi Ruzhu's looks seemed somewhat lacking.
Housekeeper Yao, as if seeing a ghost, dropped a bunch of keys and left, "First floor east, go on your own!"
Wang Laowu breathed a sigh of relief, eagerly leading the way, "Young lady, it's too late, please rest well tonight, and see the sir and madam in the morning..."
Arriving in front of the room, he suddenly froze, then got angry, "Housekeeper Yao is too much, how could he arrange the utility room for you to stay in?"
The guest room on the first floor east, connected to the garden, had been unoccupied for years, and upon opening the door, was messy with dust in the air.
He remembered the young lady had high demands for air quality!
