Chapter 934: Chapter 928: Buying Lun Yu Back

"Heh, who am I?" Lun Yu’s chilly laugh sounded, "Well done, Gu Youyou, you’ve really done a number on me..."

Without any voice disguise, Gu Youyou immediately recognized who the guy was.

Gu Youyou was slightly startled and said, "You’re Lun Yu?"

"You... how did you know I was Lun Yu?" He quickly remembered the Jin Zijin incident and said, "Right, you knew all along that I was Lun Yu."

Gu Youyou replied irritably, "I thought we had settled everything, what are you doing looking for me?"

And using this sneaky approach?

Lun Yu said, "You have the nerve to ask me? I don’t remember offending you, why did you betray me?"

Gu Youyou’s heart skipped a beat, remembering the incident in the Imperial Palace where she had trapped Lun Yu without any hesitation, and felt somewhat embarrassed, "The situation was dire, I had no choice, I’m sorry, I’ll pay double for the charcoal, and I won’t expose you either, please just go."

Lun Yu’s mouth twitched fiercely and he said, "You make it sound so easy, do you have any idea how badly you’ve ruined me?"

"Oh, how badly?" Gu Youyou really didn’t know, she had been under confinement, cut off from news.

"You..." Lun Yu felt like stamping his foot, grinding his teeth he said, "At each of the four city gates, they installed huge cauldrons with water boiling day and night, every person entering or leaving the city must wash their face first. My real face has even been drawn and posted on the walls at the city gates, how miserable do you think I am?"

Gu Youyou stared at him, dumbfounded.

This...

What should she say?

If she said he had it coming or that she couldn’t help, it wouldn’t seem righteous, especially after betraying him in a moment of desperation.

But his predicament... it really fitted the saying, whether you’re plain-faced or not, just a basin of water is needed.

No matter how skilled you are at makeup and disguise, a single basin of water will reveal your true self.

"You must ensure my safety, hmph!" Lun Yu said arrogantly, crossing his legs and sitting in the cellar.

Gu Youyou frowned, thinking of a solution. If she let him stay in her courtyard, having a man there was definitely not going to work. After pondering, she said, "How about this, you apply some makeup to look like a woman, and tomorrow during 7-9 AM wait at the small gate in the southeast corner to be sold into servitude, I’ll have someone purchase you to come into my residence as a maid."

Lun Yu curled his lip and said, "Then I guess I have no choice but to reluctantly become a maid!"

So he got a bargain and was still playing coy, huh?

...

The next morning, Gu Youyou sent Searcy out to buy a person.

"That freak from Qi Mountain who had cross-dressed last time, I did something wrong to him, and now he’s got nowhere to turn, I plan to save his life, and settle this karma."

Searcy looked at Gu Youyou in surprise and said, "You believe in karma?"

Gu Youyou said vaguely, "People who have died once tend to believe a bit in it, don’t ask now, just go, wait outside the small gate at the southeast corner, first bring him in. Remember, this time he’s disguised as a little maid, with your discernment you should be able to recognize him."

In order to avoid mistakes, Gu Youyou felt it was more reliable to have Searcy handle this matter than Xiang Chun, moreover, Lun Yu had just offended Xiang Chun the day before, if by some chance that maid suddenly got smart and noticed something off, it would be bad.

Following Gu Youyou’s instructions, Searcy took the silver and headed for the small gate in the southeast corner.

Pushing open the door, she began looking for the women selling themselves into slavery but saw not far away, opposite the side door of the house of a certain Minister Chen, a woman dressed in white hemp knelt on the ground, weeping and wailing, with a piece of grass stuck in her hair.
