Chapter 121 Return to Your Freedom
Chapter 121 Return to Your Freedom
When it was getting light, Shen Jiayu was taken away by Wen Xiangzhu.
Wen Xiangzhu didn't ask anything, but took her back to the room. Shen Jiayu sat on the recliner, waiting for the rosary to arrive.
Wen Xiangzhu calculated that the time was almost up, so he stood up and opened the door, just in time to run into Nianzhu who was coming up to serve him.
"The master of the house is well. Breakfast has been prepared." Nianzhu held the hot water and bowed slightly.
Wen Xiangzhu nodded to indicate that he understood, and then walked towards the hall.
Shen Jiayu washed up and had breakfast with Wen Xiangzhu.
He hesitated whether to ask Zhou Mei out right now. They had just met once, and it seemed too hasty to ask her out now. He was afraid that he would be suspicious.
Before he could speak, Wen Xiangzhu said first, "In a few days, I will ask Zhao Ji to bring back someone you have met. He will stay by your side and serve you."
Shen Jiayu was delighted and said, "Okay."
She knew that Wen Xiangzhu was talking about Zhou Mei, but she didn't expect that Wen Xiangzhu would let Zhou Mei go so easily.
It’s better to let her go. Give her blood to Zhou Mei and Zhou Mei can go back.
Wen Xiangzhu didn't do anything to her, which means she is still useful. No one can predict what will happen in the future, so we can only take it one step at a time.
Seven days later, Zhao Ji brought Zhou Mei to her.
Zhou Mei, who had been dressed up, stood in front of Shen Jiayu, but she could hardly recognize her.
Zhou Mei also guessed Shen Jiayu's identity. She was the wife of that vicious man. She probably had to conquer the male protagonist before she could go home.
But it seems that we haven’t succeeded yet, there is still a long way to go...
"Madam, this is the new maid that the master of the family found for you, Mei'er." Zhao Ji introduced.
In fact, the three of them knew what was going on and were just putting on a show for outsiders.
Shen Jiayu chuckled and nodded, saying something intimate, "Give him my regards. He has been in the Third Prince's residence these days. I think he has been busy and hasn't had a good rest. Please take good care of him for me."
Zhao Ji hummed, "I'll leave first."
"Okay." Shen Jiayu then took Zhou Mei's hand into the room and said to the rosary, "You go out first. I have something to say to Mei'er."
Rosary pouted, somewhat reluctantly, and muttered, "Is it because I did not do a good job? Why did the master find another maid for the lady?"
Wen Xiangzhu bought a lot of maids, most of whom were to serve Shen Jiayu. Nianzhu asked herself if she had done anything wrong. She was originally the only personal maid beside Shen Jiayu, but now there was one more person, and she was a little unhappy.
Shen Jiayu saw through her thoughts and comforted her, "Okay, Nianzhu, go out first, I'll talk to you later, okay?"
No matter how unwilling Nianzhu was, after all, it was Shen Jiayu who was in charge here. She had to do whatever her master said, so she bowed and retreated.
As soon as the door closed, Shen Jiayu lowered his voice and said, "Whenever you want to leave, I'll give you my blood."
Before Zhou Mei finished, Shen Jiayu continued, "Why not start now? When you leave, I'll go tell Zhao Ji that you don't want to stay here. I'll give you the indenture and let you go. Even if he goes to check again, he won't be able to find any trace of you."
Zhou Mei naturally wanted to leave immediately. Hearing Shen Jiayu's straightforwardness, she said, "I thought so, but I didn't dare to mention it, hehe."
Shen Jiayu did what he said. He immediately bent down and pulled out the dagger from his boot. He rolled up his sleeves, as if he had made up his mind. In a flash, he was about to wipe the cold dagger across his wrist.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?" Zhou Mei was so scared that she quickly spoke out to stop her.
Fortunately, she spoke out in time, otherwise the dagger would have cut Shen Jiayu's wrist.
"What's wrong? Don't you want my blood? I made up my mind with great difficulty..." Shen Jiayu smiled bitterly. After she knew about this, she thought about this matter day and night, just waiting for the moment when Zhou Mei needed it so that she could strike with a knife and put an end to it once and for all.
In the end, Zhou Mei stopped her. Her courage was gone now. She might not be able to strike with such steady, accurate and ruthless force later. Wouldn't that make her embarrassed in front of Zhou Mei?
Zhou Mei held her forehead with her hand, "Ouch, it's my fault for not reminding you. You don't have to be so harsh, just a little will do."
As she spoke, she snatched the dagger, quickly cut the tip of Shen Jiayu's index finger, and squeezed a drop onto her right wrist.
"Well, that's all."
It was over before Shen Jiayu felt any pain. She looked at Zhou Mei's wrist. The blood had been absorbed, and a mysterious purple light was emitting from her wrist.
"I really envy you." Shen Jiayu couldn't help but sigh when he thought that Zhou Mei would be able to go home soon.
Zhou Mei patted her shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and whispered in comfort: "Don't envy me, you will also be able to return home successfully. I can return home thanks to you, because you met a good person!"
"Why do you say that?" Shen Jiayu also asked, imitating her.
The two of them whispered to each other, fearing that someone might overhear them.
"I've been to many places, and you're already a very good person. Some people have been there for a long time and have been assimilated. Some feel they have a good life in that world and don't want to go back, nor do they want others to go back. Some people are crazy and only want to hurt others, not help others. It's the first time I've met someone who helps me so straightforwardly like you."
Shen Jiayu curled his lips, "There are still people like this."
Zhou Mei poured herself a glass of water. "Of course, people's hearts are hidden. It's strange that we can talk directly in the system. Before, I had to exchange secret codes with those people."
"You haven't left yet, tell me more about your story." Shen Jiayu's occupational disease came on. After she finished writing the book, apart from typing and sleeping, she read gossip to find inspiration.
If she can successfully return, maybe what Zhou Mei said can become writing material and can be used in the future.
"Okay, Lao Liu will take a while, so I'll start from the first time..."
The two people in the room kept talking in each other's ears, and the person sent by Wen Xiangzhu only heard the first few sentences and nothing after that.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Mei felt her right wrist getting hot.
Liuliu: [I’m here, let’s go. ]
Zhou Mei: [Alright?]
Shen Jiayu also heard it, but didn't say anything.
Liuliu: [Of course, you guys have finished talking, leave quickly, I’m worried that something unexpected will happen.]
Zhou Mei: [Pah, what a misfortune! Shen Jiayu, take me away. We'll see each other again someday.]
Shen Jiayu: [Okay, see you there if there’s a chance.]
The two smiled at each other, and Shen Jiayu stood up and gave her her indenture. If it was burned in the room, there would always be a smell of burnt paper and traces would be left, so it would be better to let Zhou Mei take it away.
Zhou Mei walked in front and opened the door, with a look of gratitude on her face.
Shen Jiayu took her to the back door and performed the last scene for her, "Go, return to your freedom."
Zhou Mei bowed and said, "Thank you, ma'am."
