Chapter 16: Speechless

Yin Zhu enjoyed the effect of her words as Mister Chu's face turned white then red finally it twisted with a grimace of disbelief as he whipped his head towards Yin Xia and asked in a somewhat demanding voice, " Is it true? Miss Yin Xia, are you taking Miss Yin Zhu to the Situ mansion?"

Yin Xia too was slightly upset with the underhanded comment that Mister Chu just passed at them, her voice got a lot less than polite as she replied in a hoarse and sullen voice, " It is true, Zhu'er is now eighteen. It's time for her to start working in the mansion as per her responsibilities as a beta." She greatly emphasised the word beta trying to remind Mister Chu that a beta female wasn't allowed to get together with a beta male.

Of course, Mister Chu understood what Yin Xia was trying to tell him not so subtly but he chose to ignore her words, after all, she was Yin Zhu's sister and he wished to be in her good books, in his heart he has already marked Yin Zhu as his and therefore her sister was now like his sister in law to him. " I do understand that Miss Yin Zhu is eighteen but there is no need for her to work right? I mean she is beautiful and knowledgeable, she seemed to have much more choices than being an alpha's maid. And what's more, she might have a hard time there having seen less evil in the world."

" You are sweet," said Yin Zhu with a fake smile as she looked at the carriage driver who was motioning them to make a move if they wanted to go the Town Hall of Bloodlock. " But I think I am fine with being just a maid of the Situ family, after all my father and sister work there too, it would not be as difficult as you think."

" That's not what I am saying," Mister Chu waved his hand as his eyes skimmed over Yin Zhu's figure even though she was dressed in a simple dress that hardly accentuated her curves, even the simple dress couldn't hide her generous bosom and the swell of her hips, it was a figure that would enchant a man day in and day out, wanting to take more and more of what she has to offer, she was like a walking temptation with a red bow attached to herself and Mister Chu who has already marked her as his was really worried about his woman entering the Situ mansion where stayed wolves in sleep's clothing. " I am talking about you working in the Situ mansion, you might have not heard about the notorious reputation of the Situ family's young masters but it's rumoured that they bed more women than they change clothes, I am worried if someone like you were to go there it will be similar to throwing a piece of fat lamb meat in front of hungry wolves."

Yin Zhu wished she could take her shoe off and hit the man in his face, what did he mean by 'piece of juicy lamp meat,'? How dare he compare her with a piece of meat? Yin Zhu was furious but there was not much that she could do to Mister Chu who was richer and had much more contacts than her father.

So, she pursed her lips and replied, " I fear that something like this will never happen, as much as the young masters of the Situ family are notorious, they would not force someone, right? I do not have any wish to be entangled with them. And maybe you should be a tad bit careful, in case the Situ family finds out that you were spreading rumours about their young masters."

Mister Chu paused for a while before he laughed out loud. His eyes lit up with amusement as he shook his head and said, " You are too innocent, Miss Yin Zhu. The young masters aren't famous for their perverse nature but they are famous for being notorious devils. You are expecting too much from devils like them, if I may suggest, you should ask your father to look for a man for you to marry off. That way you will not have to serve the Situ family and your man will take care of you, after all, you are much more suited to be a wife than a maid, especially with that clumsiness of yours. For a man it's cute but for a master not so much."

Yin Zhu's eyes subtly narrowed as she clenched her fists but just as she was going to hurl them at Mister Chu, she was stopped by Yin Xia. With a polite smile on her face, Yin Xia was spewing fire at Mister Chu as she swiftly caught hold of Yin Zhu's wrist and said, " I am grateful to you mister Chu for looking after my sister."

" That's only natural, after all, I—-"

" But as you already know that my sister is a beta and there are no suitable omega men for her," Yin Xia spoke firmly causing Mister Chu to sputter, it was common knowledge that beta was only allowed to mate with omegas and not the same gender as them only the alphas had the privilege of marrying either alpha, beta or omega as they pleased. " Surely, if there was a suitable candidate I would have looked him up for my sister."

With a taut face, Mister Chu smiled at Yin Xia and said, " I believe that the rules are no longer as strict as they were before, surely a beta as long as he is careful can mark a beta female. After all, men who are wealthy and strong are capable enough to take care of everything." As he spoke, he bunched up his muscles and showed himself off to Yin Zhu before raising his hand and twisting the end of his long moustache.

" Maybe it's different for others but we are the servants of the Situ family for more than decades," said Yin Xia with a coy smile playing on her lips. " Surely you are not suggesting that we try to betray the trust of our masters right under their noses? If so then you are suggesting a dangerous deal, Mister Chu. The punishment for betraying one's master is to have their heart ripped out. I mean you care so much for our family, you wouldn't want to harm us like that, right."

Mister Chu's face turned grim upon hearing Yin Xia's words, he was completely speechless. He did not know what to do, should he tell her that she should indeed betray her master then he would be agreeing that he did not care about the Yin family making a bad impression on them but if he said he didn't mean that, then he would never have the opportunity to court Yin Zhu for he was a beta male.
