Chapter 438: Chapter 299 Spy War between Changsheng and Zhou Mu_2
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng suddenly beca alert. Damn, she had actually forgotten about these pairs of eyes beside her!
“Xiao Si Xi, your master has called you over for a questioning, which is a matter beyond reproach…” Gu Changsheng returned to the stone stool and sat down neatly, leisurely picking up her teacup to sip at the floating tea leaves as she continued, “But you see, you are serving by my side now. If your master asks you sothing, and you answer him, then I can say goodbye to any semblance of privacy, right…?”
Right? Like her little secrets, if the evildoer found out, he’d definitely flip out!
Plucking a tiger’s whiskers was not sothing you could do. Although the evildoer seed very submissive towards her on normal days and quite easy to talk to, once it ca to matters of the heart, that scoundrel would turn into a domineering general in no ti, not giving an inch!
Therefore, Gu Changsheng felt she couldn’t play with fire to avoid bringing disaster upon herself, lest she accidentally set herself ablaze!
Si Xi, blinked his large eyes, listening with an innocent face.
Seeing him like this, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched as she continued, “So, do you understand what I an?”
She hadn’t asked yet, and already Si Xi looked confused, asking with a face full of puzzlent, “Lady Changsheng, what do you an?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face darkened imdiately.
She admitted her mistake! She had overestimated Si Xi’s intelligence!
You couldn’t expect Yuan Bao, that half-wit, to raise a smart child. Look at how he brought up Si Xi, just like a mini version of Er Que!
Wasn’t what she said clear enough? She had been very clear indeed!
She wanted privacy!
Yet Si Xi was completely clueless about being a spy, his thought process not tuned to the sa frequency as hers at all!
“Si Xi, what I an is when your master calls you over to question you, you should know which answers to give and which not to give. Don’t foolishly blurt out everything. If you cause so trouble that makes your master unhappy with , then you’ll end up bringing trouble upon !” Out of helplessness, Gu Changsheng had to be clearer.
If Si Xi still didn’t understand after she put it this way, then there was nothing she could do!
Hearing her words, Si Xi furrowed his small brows into a dumpling pleat, struggling to ask, “So, you an I shouldn’t tell everything to master when answering him?”
“Bingo! Exactly!” On hearing this, Gu Changsheng snapped her fingers, feeling a great weight lifted off her shoulders.
Damn, he finally got it.
Because Xiao Si Xi was very naive, Gu Changsheng still felt the need to instruct further, “Xiao Si Xi, dealing with superiors is a skillful task. If you talk too much, they might dislike it; if you talk too little, they might feel you’re being perfunctory. So, you should grasp the right amount, get the asure right. This way, your master will be happy and your lady, moi, will be unscathed. Isn’t that a win-win for everyone?”
Si Xi felt that his lady made a lot of sense and hurriedly nodded.
“It’s tough being in the middle, like a sandwich cookie. So, Xiao Si Xi, you need to learn to muddy the waters! But of course, only do so in front of your master. With your intelligence, trying that with seems a bit far-fetched!” Gu Changsheng spoke with a piercing gaze.
It wasn’t that she looked down on Xiao Si Xi, but this simple kid wore everything on his face. Trying to play mind gas with her was practically an insult to her intelligence!
Hearing this, Si Xi blinked his large eyes innocently.
He felt like he kind of understood his lady’s words, yet also didn’t, it was all so confusing…
“In a nutshell, Si Xi, if you tell your master sothing you shouldn’t, then just stay at Prince Mu’s Mansion and don’t co back!” Gu Changsheng clapped her hands, sealing the deal.
Si Xi watched his lady turn around and head back to the tent, his eyes gradually widening in dismay, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg…
The last sentence, he heard it loud and clear!
But why did his lady leave without even giving him a chance to speak?
With a face on the verge of tears, Si Xi scratched his head, feeling like his mind was a tangled ss…
Exactly what should he say, and what shouldn’t he say?
To say sothing he wasn’t supposed to, and then not be allowed to co back—this definitely could not happen!
He definitely had to serve by his lord’s Princess Consort’s side! Lady Changsheng was his future mistress!
The struggle and uncertainty in Si Xi’s heart, better left unsaid!
Unable to figure it out even after racking his brain, Si Xi stood outside the tent for a long while. Finally, he stamped his foot determinedly, his face set as he walked out of the mansion grounds.
Gu Changsheng inside the tent sensed Si Xi’s departure and couldn’t help but smile.
She really wondered what mischief the evildoer was up to now. If he was worried about Tan Nv’s condition, he could’ve just had Yuan Bao quietly ask, instead of making a big fuss and summoning her attendant back, right?
Could it be that he wanted to utilize the Great Summoning Technique? Had the commandery prince gone mad?
“Lady, what are you thinking about? You seem distracted,” Dong Lei asked curiously while washing Borjigin Nian.
Upon hearing that, Gu Changsheng quickly pulled herself together, waving her hand, “Nothing much, the evildoer summoned Si Xi back.”
“Ah? Why did His Highness Prince Mu summon Si Xi back? Will Si Xi be coming back?” Dong Lei exclaid in surprise.
If Si Xi left, wouldn’t she have to split herself in two to make up for his absence?
She didn’t mind it much, but she worried about not being able to serve properly!
“Si Xi will definitely co back. The evildoer just called him over to ask so questions,” Gu Changsheng reassured.
“What could His Highness Prince Mu possibly need to ask Si Xi about by summoning him back?” Dong Lei sounded even more confused.
Gu Changsheng nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders and said ambiguously, “You ask , but who do I ask? We’ll know when Si Xi cos back, won’t we?”
A ga of spy versus counterspy, what a spy war this was…
