Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 2153

Chapter 2153: He Still Didn’t Kill Her…

Although she’d just covered Mo Juechen’s entire body with oil and food, Ning Shu wasn’t in a good mood. She’d already done so much to aggravate Mo Juechen, but he still didn’t kill her.

Mo Juechen was the kind of person who did whatever he wanted. He’d kill someone just because they looked at him oddly. His ideals were very clear: he followed his heart and his impulses.

She was useless and continually provoked Mo Juechen, but he didn’t kill her.

This wasn’t his style.

Could there be some other factor that stopped Mo Juechen from killing her? Was it for her old man’s sake?

The next day, Gu Rui informed Ning Shu that they would leave for the state preceptor’s tomb in three days.

They were going with the merchants to deliver medicinal ingredients.

Gu Rui asked Ning Shu to prepare well because it was a long way to travel.

Ning Shu asked Gu Rui, “Where exactly are we going?”

Gu Rui must have figured out the map’s secret, but she still saw it as a very simple drawing.

“We’ll figure it out as we go,” Gu Rui said mildly.

Ning Shu didn’t believe him. There was no way he would go anywhere without preparation and a clear plan.

He just didn’t want to tell her.

Ning Shu stopped asking and said, “I see.”

Gu Rui glanced at Ning Shu. “The road is arduous. It’s not too late for you to give up now.”

“I’m going.”

“Well, you should prepare a little more in case something goes wrong on the way.” Gu Rui walked out of Ning Shu’s room.

Ning Shu stared at Gu Rui’s back until he was out of view.

“Miss, where are you going?” Xi Tao asked Ning Shu.

Ning Shu looked at Xi Tao and said, “Call Uncle Fang over.” Uncle Fang was the Fang family’s housekeeper and he managed the family’s needs.

“Yes,” Xi Tao responded and asked, “Why do you want to see Uncle Fang, Miss?”

“Just call him over,” Ning Shu said.

Xi Tao went to call Uncle Fang with a puzzled expression.

Uncle Fang came quickly. He was over fifty and had a goatee. When he saw Ning Shu, he bowed and cupped his hands with a kind expression. “Miss, what do you need this old servant for?”

“Uncle Fang, I’m going on a trip with Gu Rui. The family doesn’t need so many servants, so have the broker take some of them away.”

“Where is Miss going?” Uncle Fang asked in surprise. “Miss has never been far away. It’s very dangerous outside.”

“I’m going with Gu Rui to deliver herbs. Now that my father is gone, I have to learn the family business,” Ning Shu said.

“Miss has grown up. This old servant will go now. Miss should take a few more guards when she goes out.” Uncle Fang cupped his hands and made to leave, but before he could exit, Ning Shu stopped him. “Uncle Fang, take Xi Tao with you.”

Xi Tao was stunned and it took a while for her to recover. Uncle Fang glanced at Xi Tao. “Miss, do you want to sell Xi Tao to the broker?”

Ning Shu nodded.

“Miss, don’t sell this servant. Please, Miss.” Xi Tao knelt down and grabbed the hem of Ning Shu’s clothing.

Ning Shu took a sip of tea and said, “If you can betray our master-servant relations.h.i.+p, why can’t I sell you?”

“Miss, please. We grew up together, so please don’t sell me. This servant doesn’t know where to go. I’m begging you.” Xi Tao cried extremely sadly, her face full of fear and confusion.

She had grown up in the Fang family and had never left the house. The outside world was strange and terrifying to her.

“Miss, I beg you not to do this. This servant will never betray you again. Miss, remember the friends.h.i.+p we’ve had since childhood. Please let this servant stay here.” Xi Tao grabbed the hem of Ning Shu’s clothes and prostrated at Ning Shu’s feet.

Only now did Xi Tao value the friends.h.i.+p between her and the original host.

Since Xi Tao wasn’t grateful, there was no need for Ning Shu to be kind.
