Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

When Wei Jiayi's realized what she intended to do, his eyes bulged, he had never expected to be so lucky, so soon.

But to his disappointment which was clear on his face, Wei Jiai found out that she was wearing a set of male robes, under the dress.

Gao Lan Mei raised a brow at him then looked at him knowingly with a smirk. Wei Jiayi just ignored and placed his disappointment at the back of his head. He grabbed her hand again to leave immediately.

Since he was supposed to be on punishment, Wei Jiayi formulated a plan to maximize his remaining time. There was not much he could do. So who would stop him to touch her with his remaining time if he wanted to? No one.

They left Li Huan's courtyard and arrived at the manor's gates, Wei Jiayi was still holding her hands. With this he imagined how everyone will react when they see two males, acting this way.

"Brother Lan!" Lou Ren shrieked catching their attention after he did a respectful bow to Wei Jiayi.

Lou Ren was initially taking over the tracking, using Kai Kai when the hound suddenly went inside the courtyard.

Since Wei Jiayi was in the Concubine Li courtyard, he immediately understood that the hound was summoned.

Strangely all the servants outside the main room were standing like he did not just arrive.

Aside from the young maid, sitting at the third layer of the steps in front of the room's entrance, both arms bent, elbows leaning on her knees so she could place both her hands on her chin, gloomily waiting.

When Merchant Lan and Wei Jiayi got out of the room, the maid's eyes brightened red, that even Lou Ren got surprised which made him think thoughtfully.

He looked questioningly to them, eyeing Wei Jiayi's hand that was holding 'Lan Gao', as his master had never hold anyone.

Answering his unspoken concern, "He will be coming back with us to the Wei Palace." he said, Wei Jiayi could feel Xiao Shi's glare so he asked, "Are you bringing this pest with you?" asking Gao Lan Mei referring to Xiao Shi as the 'pest'.

"Who's a pest? You are the pest!"  Xiao Shi shrieked, feeling offended and really wanted to bite Wei Jiayi for doing so. She was sure the man had manipulated her master.

Wei Jiayi just looked down to Xiao Shi, not liking the disrespect tone but did not talk further. Xiao Shi averted her eyes and lowered her head, feeling a little bit frightened.

With a cough, "Hmm. Yes, she will be with me, but she needs to do something else." Gao Lan Mei answered, using Merchant Lan's voice.

Then adding, "Be good. Enjoy." she said to Xiao Shi, pulling her hand that was being held by Wei Jiayi, even when the man clearly did not want to release her hand, and patted the maid's head. "Just go back when you are fully satisfied. Do not forget to bring me what I asked for." she smiled wickedly.

"Yes, miss!" Xiao Shi beamed, she will not fail her new master's order. She already liked Gao Lan Mei, so she wanted to stay and did not want to be given away, again.

Nodding her head, she looked around the bright blue barrier that was still arranged in the whole manor, "Heh, this is really too much for a merchant like me. Don't you think so, Your Highness?" she asked, sarcasm laced in her voice.

Did he even need to involve people from the Immortal Domain? Well, she did not mind making use of them later.

Wei Jiayi raised a brow, playing along, understanding her intention to keep her current merchant form intact, "Probably. If you can increase all my subordinate ranks, I guess that is worth it. Their effort should be rewarded too," he said.
