Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 538 Hoo Die Kidnapped by Bandits

On the sixteenth of the last month, Wufu finally left Chengdu Prefecture to return to Huayang County. Compared to the light and easy trip taken to get there, her return journey was one of full load. Not to mention that there were two more people in her company, and two others who had been sent by Ah Jiu to some unknown place, even the things bought in the Capital during these days filled two whole carriages.

As for the carriage she herself rode in, as previously mentioned, she had one made to be as comfortable as Ah Jiu’s.

Therefore, she revisited the carriage shop, chose a carriage, and had it fitted with extra springs to absorb shock as she requested. The exterior of the carriage was nothing lavish, quite modest and inconspicuous. Inside, however, it was made extremely spacious and comfortable with carpets, bedding, a brazier, cabinets, and all fully furnished.

At that moment, Wufu was lazily leaning against a soft welcoming pillow with her eyes closed, resting her mind. Her slender fingertips rhythmically tapped on her knee because, why? Well, there were pleasant musical sounds to her ears.

This music wasn’t played by just anyone, but by her maid Jadeite, who was surprisingly skilled at playing the xun.

At present, the piece she played was very light and uplifting, the music ethereal and tender, making listeners feel utterly relaxed.

When the music stopped, Jadeite let out a long sigh and asked with big sparkling eyes, "Miss, what else would you like to listen to?"

During the brief two days of acquaintance, she had already gotten a sense of Wufu’s temperament. She was extremely easy-going, not at all like those haughty ladies of high birth who act superior, appearing indifferent to most things, yet she also liked to enjoy herself. Given the opportunity, she wouldn’t settle for less.

The miss was generous as well. Although she and Jadeite were new, Wufu had already rewarded them with jewelry because she enjoyed seeing beautiful people and things.

Therefore, Jadeite wore a bright pink and blue dress, with blue filigree gemstone earrings dangling from her ears and beaded flowers along with a multicolored feather pendent in her hair. Complemented by her lively round face, she looked particularly charming.

"You’ve been playing all the way, rest now, don’t let your mouth become crooked from the playing. If it looks bad, I will be at a loss," Wufu said with a smile.

Jadeite smiled sweetly, "No harm, if miss wants to hear more, I will continue to play," saying so she brought the xun to her lips again.

Wufu was about to say something when the carriage stopped. She glanced at Jadeite, who put down the xun and hopped out.

After a short while, she came back to report, "Miss, we’ve arrived at the post station. Guard Su says we will rest here tonight."

Wufu too had grown stiff from lying down, so on hearing this, she stepped out of the carriage. Jadeite took a fox fur cape of dawn color and draped it over her shoulders, while Purple Jade and Hongyu came from another carriage to attend to her.

Ah Jiu stood by his own carriage, noting the maids surrounding Wufu. He nodded to himself and led the way into the post station.

After negotiating for arrangements, maids and servants went to prepare the accommodations and clean up, while Wufu and Ah Jiu sat in the main hall drinking tea.

"Why don’t I see Hoo Die?" Wufu asked.

Ah Jiu said, "He’s gone to be a bandit!"

What?

Wufu didn’t catch on for a moment and blinked, waiting for him to explain.

With a slight curve of his lips, Ah Jiu poured her tea and said in a calm voice, "Some people like to collude with bandits, then let them fully comprehend what it means to be plagued by bandits!"

Wufu caught on, Hoo Die had been sent to collect debts!

"He’s not back yet, nothing’s gone wrong, has it?" Wufu was somewhat worried.

At Yu Zhen’s place, there were quite a few people, and Hoo Die was alone. She feared he might suffer a loss.

"If the other party has no Kung Fu skills, and he still can’t recover the debt, he might as well come back and stop making a fool of himself here!" Ah Jiu snorted coldly.

"Sir, Hoo Die has returned," Yuan Ye stepped forward to report.

Wufu’s eyebrows raised, as they say speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.
