After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 13.1

Jiang Suizhou called the manservant to the side. He scanned the empty surroundings, then spoke.

"What's your name?" He asked.

The manservant hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "My name is Sun Yuan, Your Highness."

Jiang Suizhou nodded and then gave him a few instructions.

It was nothing more than telling him to serve carefully and not to make any mistakes.

The manservant appeared honest and timid. While listening to Jiang Suizhou-, he kept squeezing the corners of his coat.

Jiang Suizhou scrutinized his every move.

Such a simple and honest man was quite suitable.

After a pause, Jiang Suizhou opened his mouth and asked, "Since yesterday when serving Madam Huo's side, has anyone ever asked you to bring anything to him?"

Sun Yuan was stunned, then a look of fright took over his face as he waved his hands repeatedly.

"N-No!"

That meant yes.

Jiang Suizhou took everything into consideration and realized something. Although Huo Wujiu was a person of the Northern Liang, his father was a general of the Southern Jing. Some people dealt with him in the court, so it wasn’t surprising if there were one or two secretly making moves.

Jiang Suizhou nodded: "Even if there is, I will not punish you."

Sun Yuan said in a panic: "Your Highness, someone asked me to bring a letter, but I refused!"

Jiang Suizhou tried his best to put on a pleasant look, and said lightly, "So there is?"

Sun Yuan was so scared that his legs went weak.

He knew it. His Highness must have had a purpose for suddenly pulling him aside! Who didn't know who Madam Huo was originally? How could Sun Yuan dare to correspond with outsiders on his behalf? But unexpectedly, His Highness had guessed correctly. Hence, whether Sun Yuan had helped deliver the letter or not, he must be silenced…

The calmer His Highness's voice was, the more Sun Yuan felt that something terrible was about to happen, which made his legs weaken in fear.

“Yes, there is...but I-I will never…”

"The next time someone sends a letter, you give it to Madam Huo. You don’t have to report it," Jiang Suizhou said.

After all, Huo Wujiu was not stupid. If a letter was so smoothly delivered to him, not to mention in Jiang Suizhou's courtyard, someone must have deliberately done it. Huo Wujiu definitely would be suspicious.

Sun Yuan, who was halfway through his speech, was dumbfounded.

“I will never...huh?” He couldn’t believe his ears.

Jiang Suizhou paused and restored that icy serious look.

"Just do as you're told and don't tell anyone," he returned.

"You should know what happens...if you ever tip anyone off.”

After intimidating Sun Yuan a bit, Jiang Suizhou walked away with his hands behind his back.

The mess in his room was all Meng Qianshan’s foolish doing. Jiang Suizhou took a glance at the room and felt a headache coming on. The thought of Huo Wujiu sitting in the room made him reluctant to go back.

He promptly decided to pass by the door of the room without entering and go to hide in the study for a while.

With that in mind, he calmly walked up the steps, then went around the corridor toward the study.

But at that moment, he caught a glimpse of Huo Wujiu in the room out of the corner of his eye.

Huo Wujiu was the most out of place amidst the lively, bustling room, sitting in a wheelchair in the corner as silent as a grave.

Huo Wujiu was born beautiful, but his eyes were a bit fierce. Every time he looked at people, he always frightened them in a snap.

But this time, Huo Wujiu dropped his eyes pensively. His long eyelashes covered that fierce glint. For a moment, he seemed so quiet, as if entirely detached from the world around him.

Jiang Suizhou stopped in his tracks.

Just then, a maid carrying a box passed by Huo Wujiu's side, and inadvertently kicked Huo Wujiu's wheelchair.

Huo Wujiu only swayed slightly, but the maid stumbled from the bump and almost dropped the box.

The maid stood still and complained loudly, "Why are you getting in the way? Don't you know to sit farther away?"

With that, she glared at Huo Wujiu and walked away.

Jiang Suizhou frowned.

His feet uncontrollably turned away from the study, and he crossed the threshold of the main room and walked in.

"What did you just say?" He asked with a frown.

Why were these people, whose names he didn’t even know, so good at making trouble for him? He was trying every means to secretly please Huo Wujiu, but this group of people were doing the exact opposite. They were openly bullying him!

The servants in the room were all stunned and looked towards Jiang Suizhou.

They saw Jiang Suizhou's icy eyes fixed on the maid.

The maid holding the box was startled. The moment she saw Jiang Suizhou looking at her, she immediately realized that he heard her words. She did not dare to argue. She hugged the box and kneeled in front of Jiang Suizhou with a thud.

He looked at the maid with downcast eyes and said coldly, "Do you know you're wrong?"

The servant girl nodded her head repeatedly and answered yes.

Jiang Suizhou then asked, "To whom should you confess your mistake?"

The maid hurriedly put down the box, kneeled down in front of Huo Wugou, and kowtowed to him: "I was momentarily rude. Please forgive me, Madam!"

But Huo Wujiu sat there, leaning sideways without even raising his eyes, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Suizhou faltered.

He knew that this maid deserved punishment for saying such things. But...

At this time, Meng Qianshan was not by his side. He had just arrived, and he still didn't know the rules of the mansion about punishing servants. He did not know how severe the penalty should be, and as a modern man, it went against his morals to issue an order to have her kneel or be beaten.
