Chapter 1096: Is That Princess Jin?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sifu could tell that she was dressed as a man and had thick calluses between her thumb and forefinger. He reckoned that she had practiced martial arts since she was young. He found it a little strange. Thus, he wrote this note and asked the two kids not to go to the shop in town for the time being. He even sent someone to investigate this girl’s history and her motives for being here, “Someone is dressed as a man?” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

What a coincidence. Could it be Princess Jin?

After all, Princess Jin had disguised as a man before, and it was very likely that she had come to Xinyuan to see Xue Yan.

“‘Lou Ba knows Princess Jin, so let Zou Ba check if it really is her. If it isn’t her, then ask him and Zou Shisi to investigate this person’s background properly. Good thing he and Zou Shisi are still in town.”

“Yes.” Jiang Yue had no objections. They had to confirm if that was Princess Jin before they could deduce anything else.

If that was not Princess Jin, then no matter how much they assumed who the person was, it would be a waste of time.

Thus, Xue Yan secretly called over a person to go to town quickly and inform Zou Ba and Zou Shisi to carry out their tasks.

In the town’s rice noodle shop…

Princess Jin was carrying a bucket of hot water in each hand. She took it out of the kitchen and entered the hall in front. She went up the stairs and sent the hot water into Xue Sifu’s room.

There was a bathtub behind the screen in Xue Sifu’s room. Princess Jin poured two buckets of hot water into it and then went down to carry more buckets of water upstairs.

She then grabbed a few more buckets of hot water and poured them all into the bathtub.

She even took two buckets of cold water, but she wasn’t in a hurry to fill them up. Instead, she placed them next to the bathtub. Then, Princess Jin went to the room where the rice noodles were stored and called out to Xue Sifu very dutifully, “Sir, the bath water is ready. You can take a bath now.”

Xue Sifu and Shopkeeper Qiao were checking the rice noodles stock. When he heard this, he didn’t even look at Princess Jin. He continued to check the stock and replied with a smile, “Alright, thank you for your hard work. I’ll go in a while.’

Princess Jin then returned to Xue Sifu’s room. After waiting for a while, she did not see Xue Sifu return. After a few more minutes only then did she sit down in front of the round table. She propped her chin with one hand in boredom and tapped the table lightly with the other.

When Xue Sifu returned from his work, he saw her daydreaming.

He almost thought that he had a wife waiting for him to come home!

“Sir, you’re back!” Princess Jin immediately stood up and hurriedly went behind the screen to pour a bucket of cold water into the bathtub. She tested the water temperature and felt that it was still a little too hot. She then picked up another bucket of cold water and poured cold water with a ladle into it.

Xue Sifu came over to test the temperature of this water and felt that this lady was really good at these things.

He didn’t remind the girl in front of him that there were some white spots on the back of her hand. It probably spilled when she was carrying hot and cold water for him.

“Alright, you may leave.” Xue Sifu laughed.

“I’ll stand guard outside. If you need me to do anything, just call me.”

“You don’t have to stay outside. Go wash up and sleep. If I need you to do anything, I’ll let you know. You can hear me from the opposite room.”

“Thank you.”

Seeing that Princess Jin had left, Xue Sifu locked the door from the inside. He then walked to the window and gently opened it. Then, he walked behind the screen and began to wash up.

This was the first time someone had brought him bath water. It was quite fresh.

When Xue Sifu finished bathing and came out from behind the screen in his clothes, he saw Zou Ba and Zou Shisi in his room.

They must have climbed through the window.

Zou Ba and Zou Shisi quickly cupped their fists and greeted him..
