Chapter 239: Let's Mess With Him (Seeking Subscriptions and Recommendations)

(3 updates today, busy with the New Year!)

Julie looked at Varys: "Lord Varys, are you wondering why your teachers and little birds didn't tell you that we donated money and food?"

Varys was shocked. Could this little girl see through his thoughts?

This feeling wasn't good!

He was used to seeing through others, but this time he couldn't see through anything. Instead, others saw through him.

It felt like he was walking down the street without pants!

"Lord Varys, don't be afraid. If our lord wanted to kill you, you would have died when you entered," Julie said softly. "Then it will spread throughout the royal court that Lord Varys appeared in Flea Bottom late at night, and his body was thrown into the Flea Bottom garbage dump. Then why did he go to Flea Bottom? How did he get out of the Red Keep guards? Who did he meet before he died? All kinds of rumors will fly, and you don't want to be the center of rumors, after all, the things you're planning haven't succeeded yet." Julie seemed kind, but Varys' expression finally couldn't calm down.

He felt like his life was in someone else's hands, very strongly!

Only those who control the lives of others can point fingers like Julie. This was in Varys' lair, his absolute territory. So, in the orphanage, Julie wasn't alone. Were the Mountain's claws in the orphanage?!

Varys' eyes were full of suspicion!

"My lord, the reason your teachers and little birds listen to us is because they made the right choice. Between food, money, and swords, they chose food and money," Julie said.

Varys' eyes fell on the hilt of the sword at Julie's waist.

If she was alone here, the teachers and Varys could join forces to kill her. Although the teachers didn't know martial arts, they all knew how to stab people with knives, and Julie was surrounded by four teachers.

"Miss Julie, what if they chose swords?"

"You would be dead, the teachers would be dead, and many children in the orphanage would die," Julie said as calmly as if she were talking about the weather.

The people didn't give Julie the nickname 'Little Witch' randomly.

"Would you kill the children?"

"They're not children, they're your little birds, specializing in doing shady things," Julie's tone began to turn cold. "Lord Varys, do you mean to let your teachers choose bloodshed instead of food and money to feed the children? I'm surprised you have such a vicious idea? Many children in the orphanage are innocent!"

Varys felt suffocated.

It was a pity that this little witch wasn't trained by him to become a little bird. What sharp teeth and a sharp tongue!

"I'm very happy that the teachers chose food and money!" Varys smiled, putting his hands together like a fake master.

"Our Lord Mountain is also very happy, and our Lady Jynesse is even happier. She likes children very much."

The math teacher said, "Lord Varys, Lady Jynesse also sent a lot of clothes, cloth, and milk."

"Milk?" Varys' eyes froze. "There are more and more rumors that milk kills people. Drinking milk in this season is like drinking poison. Miss Julie, are Lady Jynesse and Lord Mountain planning to poison these children?"

"Milk is poison in the hands of others, but in our lady's hands, it's a health food. Tomorrow morning, more milk will be delivered to the orphanage. The lady will bring dozens of hired maids to make milk cakes, cheese, milk noodles, milk ice cream, and milk bread for the children. Lord Varys, are you going to stop it, or welcome it?"

"Of course, welcome!" Varys found himself wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Many rooms in the orphanage leak during heavy rain, the roof on the third floor should have been repaired long ago, and no one dares to live on the second floor because of the roof leaks. Tomorrow, the craftsmen we hired will re-tile the roof of the orphanage, replace the floor on the second floor with new wooden boards, and repaint the walls white. Lord Varys, Lord Mountain hopes that the children can eat better, dress better, and live better. Are you willing to support us with goodwill, or maliciously speculate on what conspiracy we are arranging?"

Varys was speechless. He found himself looking at the four teachers, and the teachers also showed a faint embarrassment.

"To be honest, our lord's bad reputation is very strong. Coming to donate and help the children in the orphanage is forcing the orphanage managers and your teachers to agree with swords, and threatening your life. In this world, it's not easy for a person to sincerely do something good, especially our Lord Mountain. This is really ironic, isn't it?"

Varys was eloquent, quick-witted, quick-thinking, and resourceful, but he couldn't speak for a while.

"Lord Varys, I also know that you were planning to poison Lord Mountain because Lord Mountain wanted the children in the orphanage to eat well, drink well, and dress well. Was that wrong?"

Damn Littlefinger, he told the Mountain about the conversation between the two of them so quickly! Varys felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Nothing like that, Miss Julie!" Varys forced a smile. Hot sweat flowed from his fat face.

Littlefinger really can't be trusted!

"You said it yourself, have you forgotten so quickly? Don't worry, your life is not worth much in our lord's eyes. We just deliberately threatened your teachers. The real purpose is to repair the orphanage and give the children a better life within our ability."

Julie walked to Varys' side, patted Varys' shoulder, just like a child comforting an adult: "We'll come again tomorrow, Lord Varys, good night!"

Varys turned around and watched Julie walk to the door.

Julie stopped and turned back: "Lord Varys, are you willing to spend a gold dragon to let me tell you a secret?"

Uh, a gold dragon, a secret, this is very cost-effective, but, isn't this a kind of humiliation?

Uh, yes, this is indeed a humiliation!

Varys was the one who sold information, traversing both sides of the Narrow Sea, and had not encountered any opponents. His ability to sell information was so strong that it alarmed the Mad King Aerys Targaryen, who spent a lot of money to hire him to come to the Red Keep and become the Master of Whisperers of this country. From then on, he enjoyed fine clothes and jade food, wealth and glory, and his status was transcendent. He rightfully did intelligence work without having to hide it anymore.

"A gold dragon, I'm very happy, Miss Julie." Varys quickly cleaned up his mood and smiled.

"Okay!" Julie stretched out her hand.

Varys swayed to Julie, took out a gold dragon and placed it in Julie's palm.

Julie glanced at the gold dragon and said lightly: "How about this, Lord Varys, three gold dragons, I'll give you three names."

"Best! Best!" Varys took out two more gold dragons and gently placed them on Julie's palm.

Julie let Varys bend down, she whispered in Varys' ear, and gently said three people's names.

The four teachers saw Varys' expression change drastically for the first time, his body shook, as if he had been hit hard, or as if he had been stabbed in the stomach with a knife.
