"Dye!" Li Luru entered the room with a smile, "How’s it? Doesn’t this piece of clothing look brand new? I even added jasmine to the water, does it sll faintly floral?"
"..." Ye Haoxuan turned his head and gave her a look, his expression growing increasingly peculiar.
"What’s wrong? Why are you looking at like that?" Li Luru touched her face, secretly wondering if it was because she was too beautiful.
"Haha!" Ye Haoxuan pointed his finger, "Li Luru, is your brain made of mush? Using dye to wash clothes? Why don’t you use paint to cook? You’re really sothing, imagine people saying the prestigious Miss of the Li Residence uses dye to wash clothes!"
He was truly flabbergasted; even a lady from a wealthy family should know what not to use for washing clothes, shouldn’t she?
"So what?" Li Luru shrugged, "This is my innovation. What’s so good about using soap or scented soap for washing? Oil stains can’t be washed out with those. But look at my clothes, soaked in dye, dried, and they’re as good as new. Not only does it cover up the dirt, but the color’s also nice."
"What if it’s embroidered?" Can you still wear embroidered clothes after dyeing?
"Haha... embroideries aren’t a worry, just mix in a few different shades, hand dye them."
"Haha..." Ye Haoxuan was already beyond retorting and threw the clothes onto her, "Ruin another piece of my clothing and I’ll make sure you have nothing to wear."
Ye Haoxuan casually picked up a robe to put on, not bothering to look at the shoes she’d washed, guessing they’d be just like the clothes.
Li Luru blinked in surprise, this man really doesn’t appreciate good ideas.
But wait, what did he just say?
"You dirty scoundrel!" Actually suggesting she’d end up with nothing to wear!
Ye Haoxuan, who had stepped outside, turned back to her, looked her up and down, "Looking like this, I doubt even a scoundrel could manage it."
"What did you say, stop right there!" Li Luru felt deeply insulted, who is this guy, completely out of line.
"Sir, would you like to have breakfast at the inn before leaving, or eat on the way?"
"On the way," Ye Haoxuan said as he walked, "How’s the investigation going?"
"No leads."
"Hmm"
Ye Haoxuan had grown accustod to such replies.
Li Luru caught up just in ti to hear this, suddenly recalling how her father ntioned a few days ago that the eldest daughter of the Ye family had gone missing; was he out searching for his sister?
"What are you standing around for? Get in the carriage!"
Ye Haoxuan’s voice ca from inside the carriage, and Li Luru imdiately climbed in upon hearing it.
"Here!"
Ye Haoxuan handed her a package wrapped in oil paper, from which Li Luru could already sll the aroma.
She thought to herself, apart from the bad attitude, he’s actually a nice person.
"Are you... looking for your sister?"
Ye Haoxuan’s eyes cooled upon hearing that, "How do you know?"
"Oh, I overheard my dad talking about it." Seeing his expression was not bad, she asked, "Which young master of the Ye Family are you?"
"You don’t know?" Ye Haoxuan was puzzled, this girl isn’t silly, how co she hasn’t asked around?
"Should I know?" Li Luru pouted, "Your n are too tight-lipped, couldn’t get anything out of them."
Ye Haoxuan’s lips curled up slightly, but he did not answer her question.
"What can you do?"
"What?"
Ye Haoxuan glanced at her, "I’m asking what you can do. Being my maid and can’t even wash clothes properly, then what use are you to ?"
