Chapter 47 Forbidden Land
Chapter 47 Forbidden Land
Fu Siyue slept very well, his first good sleep in twenty years, so good that he didn't get up until noon.
His overall demeanor has changed significantly compared to before. He is no longer so cold, so repressed, so gloomy and unapproachable. It's as if a ray of light has shone into a dark and gloomy corner.
Fu Siyue originally planned to pick up Jiang Liwu at dawn, but it was delayed until now. After lunch, fearing that something might happen, he hurriedly took Jiang Liwu away.
After Jiang Liwu left, Wei Xifeng began to deal with the mountain of work that had piled up during this period.
The Fu family's housekeeper, Fu, had already received notification that Jiang Liwu was moving in, so he cleaned out a master bedroom.
Fu Siyue showed Jiang Liwu around the area. After they had explored every corner of the Fu family estate, he had to go to the company because he was a workaholic and had missed the morning. There were many projects that needed his approval and orders that needed to be issued.
The maids and servants were carrying Jiang Liwu's belongings into the room when Song Jinwei jumped out halfway through, shouting, "What are you doing? All of you, stop right there!"
Upon seeing Song Jinwei, the group paused in their work, exchanged glances, and then stopped.
In fact, as long as Song Jinwei doesn't get involved with Fu Qinian, the illegitimate son of the Fu family, her words still carry considerable weight in this family.
Butler Fu's gaze deepened. The young master had specifically instructed him to take good care of Jiang Liwu, to prioritize Jiang Liwu's needs in everything, and to treat Jiang Liwu's words as his own.
In truth, Butler Fu was filled with astonishment. The young master valued this "heaven-sent" Miss Jiang so much. Butler Fu was undoubtedly curious about the mysterious Jiang Liwu. Looking at Jiang Liwu, he felt a vague sense of familiarity with her, as if he had seen her many years ago, but he couldn't remember when.
He then secretly shook his head, lamenting his own senility. How old could Jiang Liwu have been years ago? How could they have possibly met?
He beckoned to the servants and ordered, "Keep moving."
Butler Fu is highly respected. He is a servant of the Fu family, whose members have served the Fu family for generations.
The servants quickly got back to work.
Seeing this, Song Jinwei became somewhat exasperated, glaring angrily, "Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I'm saying?!"
"Butler Fu, although you are the old butler of this house, remember that I am the young lady of this house and the master of this house." Song Jinwei rushed forward to throw the things in the servants' hands to the ground, but before she could touch them, Jiang Liwu easily grabbed her wrist.
Meeting Jiang Liwu's cold and calm gaze, Song Jinwei couldn't help but feel nervous. Knowing how formidable Jiang Liwu was, Song Jinwei dared not confront her head-on, especially since her injuries hadn't healed yet.
Song Jinwei pulled her hand away and said through gritted teeth, "Jiang Liwu, I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to actually be able to gain such influence."
At this moment, Butler Fu said from the side, "Miss, please don't make things difficult for us. Miss Jiang moved in at the young master's behest, and Miss Jiang's luggage must be settled before today."
Song Jinwei knew, of course, that there was no room for negotiation on this matter. After all, she had known about it last night. Even after she protested and fainted, she couldn't change Fu Siyue's mind. Fu Siyue was always decisive and a man of his word.
However, she was extremely unwilling and could not tolerate Jiang Liwu climbing over her best friend Qiao Yiran and then stepping on her head.
Song Jinwei glared at Jiang Liwu, her mind a turbulent storm of frustration. Suddenly, she thought of something, paused for a moment, and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes. "Fu Siyue said he would let her stay, but he certainly didn't say which room she would be assigned to, right?"
Butler Fu frowned. Could it be that Song Jinwei wanted Jiang Liwu to stay in a guest room, a servants' room, or even a small storage room?
"The young master said that Miss Jiang will stay in the master bedroom."
Song Jinwei guessed what Butler Fu was thinking, and her eyes widened again, "Do you think I'm that petty?"
She gave Jiang Liwu a malicious smirk, "Don't worry, I've arranged a master bedroom for you, and it's the best room in the entire Fu family. You can stay on the fifth floor."
Upon hearing this, the servants present were all taken aback, and their faces showed tension and fear.
Butler Fu strongly disagreed, "Miss, the fifth floor is..."
“But what?” Song Jinwei interrupted Butler Fu, threatening him with her eyes not to say anything he shouldn’t. She continued, “The fifth floor is a good place. Jiang Liwu, you’re not so cowardly as to not even dare to stay in a room, are you?” Song Jinwei’s eyes were full of provocation.
Jiang Liwu naturally guessed that there might be something fishy about the fifth floor, but no matter what tricks Song Jinwei was up to, she thought they were childish and childish. Not wanting to continue getting entangled with Song Jinwei, she complied with Song Jinwei's wishes and said to Butler Fu, "Then let's move to the fifth floor."
Butler Fu was surprised that Jiang Liwu was so easily provoked. He had originally thought Jiang Liwu was a confident and calm person.
"This..." Butler Fu hesitated, partly because the fifth floor was indeed off-limits, and partly because the young master had said he would fulfill all of Jiang Liwu's requests.
"What are you waiting for? Jiang Liwu herself is willing to move to the fifth floor," Song Jinwei urged impatiently.
The servants were like ants on a hot pan, restless and anxious. They all turned their gazes to Butler Fu, who finally nodded.
Everyone's expressions became extremely solemn and cautious.
When they reached the fifth floor, they kept their heads down, not daring to look around or touch anything. They put down Jiang Liwu's luggage and quickly came out.
Jiang Liwu looked at the room, which had excellent lighting and a great view, and found it spotless, indicating that it was regularly cleaned. She didn't notice anything amiss.
She had thought that the fifth floor was home to a bunch of little creatures, like poisonous ants, snakes, or scorpions, but she was a little disappointed when she didn't see any.
Song Jinwei stood at the door without daring to go in. She watched as Jiang Liwu moved things in the room and her smile became even more malicious.
Jiang Liwu, you're dead meat. The fifth floor is a forbidden area. Even if she touches something in the room, Fu Siyue will turn on her.
At first, she didn't believe there was any place in the Fu family that she couldn't go, until Fu Siyue appeared behind her with a terrifying expression, like a demon from hell.
His face was covered by a pitch-black shadow, and his cold, piercing eyes were as red as a god of death.
Song Jin swallowed hard. Recalling Fu Siyue from that time still made her feel uneasy. She quickly left the fifth floor.
After familiarizing herself with the room, Jiang Liwu noticed a dusty cabinet, which seemed particularly out of place compared to the room's bright and clean atmosphere.
