Chapter 1598: Chapter 1595: Intentions
It seems completely clueless, she was overthinking.
Su Mei lightly coughed: “Alright, you go in first.”
On this end.
Su Mei instructed the other maidservants to tidy up the bathhouse, then turned and left the courtyard, preparing to go to the main kitchen.
As soon as she left the courtyard, she ran into Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan saw her and paused for a moment.
His mouth moved slightly, and his voice was a bit stammering: “Miss… Miss Su Mei, is the master here?”
“Yes.” Su Mei looked at him and asked, “Do you have something to do?”
Facing her cold eyes, Lu Chuan felt his body stiffen. Even though the weather was very cold, he felt his face and chest burning: “Um, um… I have something to do.”
“Oh, then go ahead, the master is here.” Su Mei glanced at him, withdrew her gaze, and turned to leave.
Lu Chuan didn’t know where the courage came from, but he reached out to stop her.
Su Mei stopped, turned around, and looked up at him: “What are you doing? Is there something you need?”
“I, I have something I want to say to you.” Lu Chuan mustered up his courage, his eyes bright as he looked at her.
Su Mei let out an “oh”: “Isn’t the master’s matter urgent?”
“No, not urgent, the master knows.” He finished speaking and dared not look at Su Mei’s expression, but hadn’t received a response after a long time, he felt very uneasy, and hurriedly lifted his head.
Su Mei didn’t have any shy expression, she looked at him: “Do you need to find a place to speak alone?”
“…Yes… Yes.” Lu Chuan nodded blankly, perhaps not even realizing what he had just said.
Su Mei started walking to the side, Lu Chuan belatedly realized and hurriedly followed, his simple and honest appearance starkly different from his usual nimble demeanor.
Su Mei stopped first, looking at him and asked: “What is it, just say it directly.”
Lu Chuan, looking at her, flushed suddenly: “I, I want to ask you, do you… do you have…”
“Do you usually handle matters around the master like this? Won’t you be resented?” Su Mei raised her eyebrows at him.
This remark was clearly a stimulating point for a man.
As expected, Lu Chuan, who had just been so nervous his speech was stammering, suddenly spoke steadily, quickly finishing a sentence: “I want to ask if you have someone you like, the master said, if you are willing, you can matchmake for us.”
Su Mei looked at him in shock, Lu Chuan flushed, his brown skin visibly reddened, the roots of his ears were scarlet, his eyes flickered with persistence.
“Why would you be interested in me?” Su Mei rubbed her nose, having already guessed it was about this matter, in fact, the lady had tested her two days ago too, but she hadn’t given a clear answer.
Lu Chuan looked at her, an uncontrollable smile in his eyes: “I… I don’t know either, the master suggested matchmaking for me, I’ve thought for a long time, only want to marry you, the master told me to think it over carefully, no need to rush.”
“But ever since I’ve thought of you, I can’t forget, maybe that’s what the master meant by ‘someone you like.'”
Su Mei blushed noticeably for a moment, then concealed it.
“Don’t you usually have a good relationship with the maidservants at the residence? We haven’t really talked, how did you come to like me?” Su Mei indeed felt some curiosity, her questioning was straightforward.
Lu Chuan stammered again, but his gaze was scorching: “You forgot… last time you helped me get medicine, and also washed the clothes.”
“That was the lady’s order.” Su Mei explained, “I feared you might leak something, so I helped you wash the clothes, the news of your injury wasn’t suitable for too many to know.”
