After The Disabled God Of War Became My Concubine [BL]

(Chapter 9)

Behind the vast and exquisite garden, was the back residence of the palace. The large chic houses were divided into courtyards, where the concubines of the palace lived.

Jingwang's residence was originally the residence of an affluent and powerful gentry in Lin'an. The entire residence occupied an extremely large area and was overly luxurious and exquisite. The imperial court fled south, and the gentry were afraid of attracting attacks, so they forfeited a lot of properties. This family homestead was also handed over on a silver platter.

Since then, this place became Jingwang's residence.

Jingwang was not like that magnate, whose family lived under the same roof and thrived for generations. The huge residence was simply dissatisfying. Therefore, although the houses in the backyard were numerous, most of them were empty. They were so empty that after a long time, many houses were left unattended.

As night fell, a few remaining lamps in the corner were lit in an old and dilapidated courtyard.

The door of the room opened with a creak.

The maid carried a food container and strode in after entering the threshold. The main house was not spacious, and the objects inside have not been cleaned for a long time. Upon entering, dust would fly everywhere, causing one to choke.

The maid frowned in disgust and quickened her steps. She walked to the table in the room, and put the container of food down heavily on the table.

"The food is here. Please help yourself, Master." Her tone was cold and icy, and the word "master" carried a bit of venom, which was quite harsh in the quiet of the night.

The person in the wheelchair in the room did not respond to her.

The maid had already noticed that this man was not only a cripple, but also a mute. As long as people didn't touch him, he wouldn't react to any bullying.

He was naturally the best punching bag.

The maid had only been in Jingwang's mansion for a few months and finally got a chance to serve a master.

Although several people in the house were considered masters, the gap was huge. Madam Xu's place, for instance, wasn't an ideal place.

She has long been seeking ways and tried every means to serve Madam Gu in his courtyard, but she did not expect that she would be assigned to this disabled person.

What benefits could she gain by coming here? The cripple himself was living in a dilapidated house that leaked.

The maid had a stomach full of grievances, and when she saw his wheelchair, she felt even more unlucky.

Seeing that the cripple was silent as usual, she sneered and said, "You probably don't know it yet. After what happened at noon today, Madam Gu's maid went to His Highness's courtyard to complain. Once His Highness heard the news, he immediately said that he would go to Madam Gu's room tonight."

Huo Wujiu didn't move a muscle.

The maid's voice turned a bit sharp: "Do you know what kind of person Madam Gu is? You hit his beloved. Do you think His Highness will let you go? When His Highness punishes you, we might even be implicated. I am truly unlucky to be assigned to such a shabby courtyard: on my first day here, I ran into such a thing."

After saying that, she coldly snorted, turned around and stomped out.

"A mere cripple, yet you want to fight with others. You really overestimated yourself."　　

The door was heavily slammed shut.

Huo Wujiu slowly closed his eyes.

His forehead was burning badly at this moment, and he was already having a fever because of his wounds.
