The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World Chapter 232 - Why Are You Late

Chapter 232 Why Are You Late

Little Lei had disappeared without a trace after eating a handful of soil that day and only appeared today. The moment he saw Xue Fanxin, he immediately pounced on her and begged, “Girl, give me more soil.”

Since that day, he had been imprisoned by a certain lord.

While imprisoned, he had been craving food. Not only did he want to eat Breathing Earth, but he also wanted roasted rabbit meat. Despite his desires, though, a certain lord would not let him out. His life was so bitter!

“Little Lei, although that soil is not ordinary, I think eating dirt is still not good. It will cause indigestion.” Xue Fanxin knew Breathing Earth was nouris.h.i.+ng to Little Lei, but she found it unsavory. Even if Breathing Earth was really precious, it was still dirt, something that could not be eaten.

“Girl, I won’t suffer from indigestion. Give it to me.” Little Lei looked at Xue Fanxin expectantly, hoping that she would give him some soil.

Right then, Ye Jiushang came and said coldly, “If you really want to eat dirt, I’ll get someone to dig a pot for you in the courtyard and let you eat enough.”

The moment Little Lei saw Ye Jiushang, he stopped pestering Xue Fanxin and said, “No, no, no. I don’t want to eat dirt anymore.”

Xue Fanxin really did not understand. Little Lei was so capable; why was he so afraid of Ye Jiushang? Forget it. Anyway, apart from fear, Little Lei also admired him. From the looks of it, he was willing to be ‘tortured’ by him.

“Ah Jiu, you’re here! We can set off once Zhuri comes.” “Zhuri still hasn’t come?” Ye Jiushang frowned slightly; his displeasure evident. As a subordinate, it was a serious offense to make one’s master wait.

A moment ago, he was praising Zhuri in front of Ruying and Suixing, but Zhuri had made a mistake so quickly. Should he observe Zhuri for a while more and see if he was worth his effort?

Xue Fanxin did not think too much about it, because she had never regarded Zhuri as her subordinate but as a friend. She waited patiently. “He must have been delayed by something. Let’s wait.”

Just as Xue Fanxin finished speaking, Zhuri rushed over. His clothes were a little messy, and his expression was not good. He knelt on one knee in front of Ye Jiushang. “I’m late. Please forgive me, Your Highness.” Ye Jiushang did not let Zhuri up. Instead, he asked with a hint of displeasure, “Why are you late?”

“I was trapped by Zhuiyue and had to fight her to escape, so I came late. Please punish me.”

This d.a.m.ned Zhuiyue kept pestering him and interrogating him about the Lord. She even wanted him to take her to see the Lord. She was really becoming more and more unruly and impudent.

If Zhuiyue really appeared in front of the Lord without permission, there was only death waiting for her. Didn’t this stupid woman know?

“Zhuiyue?” Xue Fanxin found the name familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she finally remembered her.

Wasn’t she the woman who had rejected being her maid that day?

Ye Jiushang did not say anything regarding Zhuri’s explanation, but he did not punish him either. He only said coldly, “From now on, the Night Shadow Guards will no longer have Zhuiyue.”

Zhuri was stunned for a moment before he reacted and took the order. “Yes.”

The Lord meant to remove Zhuiyue from the Night Shadow Guards.

The Night Shadow Guards who had been removed had only one outcome: death.

It seemed like the Lord had the intention to kill Zhuiyue.

“Let’s go. Someone will deal with this. You don’t have to do it yourself. I hope you won’t repeat today’s mistake. Otherwise…” Ye Jiushang did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

“Yes, I’ll never make such a mistake again.”

Xue Fanxin did not interfere with Ye Jiushang disciplining his subordinates. After all, he was a lord and a superior. If he could not even keep his men in line, that would not be a good thing.

As for Zhuiyue… her life and death had nothing to do with her. Anyway, they were not familiar with each other.

“Alright, alright! It’s getting late. Let’s set off for the Red Maple Forest.”
