Chapter 286 Scared Me to Death
Si Xi was on the verge of tears, wondering how he ended up with such a troublesome master!
If heaven gave him the chance to choose again, he would definitely...
...still choose him!
Si Xi composed himself, chased after Song Zhiyu who was enthusiastically licking a candied haw, and pleaded, "Fourth Master, there must be guests at home by now. Madam had already said you should stay in the mansion so you can be presented when the time comes. You running off now, isn’t this costing me my life?"
"Nonsense, as long as I’m around, who would dare take your life? I’d tear them apart!" Song Zhiyu licked the sugar off the haw, hmm, it was quite sweet indeed, well worth buying a whole bunch.
"Shoo, shoo, I’m not selling candied haws, these are all for my Fourth Master." Si Xi carried all the candied haws on his back, chased away the children gathering around, and caught up with Song Zhiyu, saying, "Fourth Master, I think anyone would dare, like Madam, like Prime Minister, they command, and you’ll never see Fourth Master again."
Song Zhiyu wanted to refute, but thought of those two ancestors and was choked, awkwardly saying, "It’s not that serious, they’re all good people."
Si Xi scoffed.
"Fourth Master, since this is about your lifelong happiness, Madam has invited someone to the mansion, and you not being there, where does that leave Madam?" Si Xi earnestly advised, "And Madam, she’s put so much thought into this little banquet, if you won’t even take a look, are you planning to remain a bachelor for life?"
Heavens no, he didn’t want to be a bachelor, he already had his eyes on Grandmother Hua’s granddaughter, Peach Blossom, waiting for Fourth Master to marry so he could ask the new mistress for a match.
