The next morning, Wufu was having breakfast with Xiao Qi, and took the opportunity to teach him dining etiquette, reminding him that he couldn’t live like a wolf anymore, eating indiscriminately with his claws.
"Miss, Lu Xiaodie requests to see you," Jadeite said.
"You need to hold the chopsticks like this, yes, slowly pinch and lift." Wufu was instructing Xiao Qi on using chopsticks and, without lifting her head, asked, "She hasn’t left yet?"
Jadeite was speechless; after what happened last night, where could she go, or dare to go?
"Let her in," Wufu replied.
Jadeite acknowledged and shortly thereafter brought Lu Xiaodie in.
Wufu looked over, noticing the young girl’s pale complexion and swollen red eyes like peaches, clearly indicating she had cried all night.
Seeing her, Lu Xiaodie knelt on the ground.
Wufu raised her eyebrows, "What are you doing?"
"Miss, Xiaodie sells herself, begging Miss to accept as your servant," Lu Xiaodie said through gritted teeth.
"I’ve said before, what value do you have for to accept you? If I need soone to serve , I can buy a whole bunch anyti, ensuring they have a clean background and won’t bring trouble!" Wufu stated.
Lu Xiaodie’s expression slightly changed, she said, "If I beco your person, I absolutely won’t betray you, I can swear an oath, and if I break it, may I be Struck by Five Thunders."
"I don’t believe in oaths; when one is broken, you can simply make another." Wufu chuckled.
Lu Xiaodie stared blankly at her. This lady was unmoved by oil and salt, leaving her no choice but to look toward Jadeite for help.
Jadeite remained still; indeed Lu Xiaodie was pitiful, but she was also trouble, and Jadeite wouldn’t risk displeasing the lady over such trouble.
"Miss, how do you want to act? Just say it." Lu Xiaodie demanded through clenched teeth.
Wufu stared at her steadily and said, "What if I want you to give up revenge?"
Lu Xiaodie sharply lifted her head, her pale face becoming even paler. She locked eyes with Wufu, biting her lip, and after a while, replied, "Alright."
Wufu snorted lightly, "In fact, you can’t do it, so why agree with ? Do you think I can’t see the resentnt in your eyes?"
Lu Xiaodie was on the verge of losing it — what exactly do you want from , tell .
Even Jadeite couldn’t bear watching anymore, saying, "Miss, you should give her a straightforward answer."
Wufu cast her a faint glance — you have a soft heart.
Jadeite was speechless, thinking, it’s not that I’m soft-hearted, it’s that you’re too tough!
"The hatred for a mother’s killer and the hatred of life and death — if I say let go, you should be able to let go; otherwise, I wouldn’t dare use you," Wufu said calmly to Lu Xiaodie, "Your heart carries too much resentnt and hostility. I dare not keep you by my side now, because I can’t allow a potential bomb to be around ."
Lu Xiaodie was stunned.
"If you’re willing, sign a deed of sale, go to the estate for a while, and when you no longer snap at people like a mad dog and can calmly face the matter of your mother and the Eldest Lady Wu, then you can co back to ," Wufu instructed.
Lu Xiaodie was slightly dazed, looking at both Wufu and then at Jadeite.
"Why aren’t you thanking the miss?" Jadeite nudged her.
"Servant thanks miss for taking in!" Lu Xiaodie quickly knelt and bowed.
Wufu instructed Jadeite, "Take her downstairs to handle the deed of sale, and dispatch soone to send her to the estate."
"Yes, Miss," Jadeite replied.
As Jadeite led Lu Xiaodie out, just reaching the doorway, Lu Xiaodie heard Wufu’s voice behind her, "Lu Xiaodie, rember this, a biting dog does not bark."
Lu Xiaodie trembled and silently turned her head, seeing the lady placing a serving of vegetables in the boy’s bowl, she bent her knees and solemnly bowed, "Servant will adhere to the teachings of Miss."
