Chapter 133: Cui Nanxi Returns to the Capital
It was still a rainy day. Song You had been sitting on the first floor brewing tea and reading to pass the time. He looked at the maid, who had walked in and greeted him, as he asked helplessly, “Why have you come again?”
“Madam says that you must have realized that Miss Wanjiang is not human, but because of your kind heart and possible reservations, you chose not to take action,” the maid said, bowing again. “I have come specifically to ask you to take action and bring peace to the capital.”
“I never said that.”
“Please take action.”
“Please go back.”
“How much silver do you want? Madam can fulfill any amount.”
“Please seek the assistance of another expert.”
“In recent days, Madam has been unable to eat or sleep, growing increasingly thin. You have a shop with a sign saying ‘Exorcism and Extermination.’ Are you really going to watch Miss Wanjiang cause trouble for Madam? Aren’t you going to exterminate her?”
“You misunderstand. I only deal with exorcizing demons and warding off evil spirits. Exterminating rodents is my cat’s specialty. And the only things we exterminate are rats,” Song You said, looking at the persistent maid. He shook his head inwardly, feeling both displeased and helpless against her repeated disturbances.
