Quick travel to save a miserable life
Chapter 56 The bride-to-be (14)
Butler Wang thought for a long time and finally came to his senses. Seeing the dusty Er Zhu still standing by the bed, he asked him to go back to wash and rest.
The two of them were talking and sent away the other servants. After Er Zhu left, Butler Wang thought for a moment and once again summoned someone to come closer. After giving some instructions, the person followed the order and left.
Wang Ping'an came back from outside at this time, and happened to bump into Er Zhu head-on. Seeing that he couldn't hide his tired look, and thinking that he had been out a lot recently, and had not been seen for several days recently, he couldn't help but ask him a few questions about his recent whereabouts.
Erzhu knew that the matter that Butler Wang entrusted to him was too confidential, and he had specifically promised to keep it from Wang Ping'an, so he did not dare to reveal anything to him. He just made up some excuses to get it over with and hurriedly resigned.
Although Wang Ping'an was surprised, he did not stop him from asking. Er Zhu was a close confidant valued by his father. Although he was young, he was quite capable and scheming. He was often arranged by his father to run some important errands.
Wang Ping'an works as a steward in a bookstore of the Lin family. He is not very busy on weekdays, and he still has a lot of time to read extensively.
This was a job he specifically asked his father for. Originally, his father wanted to place him in prosperous and profitable shops such as restaurants and silver shops, but he refused both and only chose this humble bookstore. .
Recently, because of his father's illness, he often asked for leave from the shopkeeper. Today he only went to the store to order some mao in the morning, and then came back after staying for half an hour.
When Wang Ping'an returned home, he first asked the boy carefully how his father was eating and feeling today, and then went to his father's bedside to comfort him.
Butler Wang was having many thoughts in his heart right now, but he felt a little relieved after seeing his son.
Although my son is sometimes a little tortuous and doesn't know how to adapt, he is indeed kind-hearted and quite filial to his old father. Apart from the fact that he has violated himself by not remarrying, there is really nothing else to say. of.
Moreover, when this boy was studying, he was often praised by his teacher, saying that he was talented and hard-working. If he was not a slave and could not take the scientific examination, he might be able to come back as a scholar.
Thinking of this, Butler Wang couldn't help but sigh. It was his own identity that had hindered his son. He loved reading so much, but he couldn't pass the imperial examination. He could only work as a steward in a small bookstore, accompanying himself with books every day.
Butler Wang couldn't help but think of his previous plan. Those bandits refused to give up their plan to ambush the Lin family. If they succeeded, they would be able to escape alive. If things failed and someone was captured and confessed to him, then his life might not be saved. Got it!
He lived to be almost sixty years old, and it was not a pity to die at such an old age, but once something happened, his son would inevitably be implicated. He had always been kind to others and had never been involved in his own affairs, so he should not be implicated.
What's more, he is only in his early twenties and has no heirs. Being a slave is already unfortunate. If he is imprisoned again, the rest of his life will be ruined.
I have to think of a way to take him out, but it's hard to come up with any suitable ideas for a while.
Butler Wang fell into deep thought.
Wang Ping'an felt a lot more relieved after seeing his father.
Now that my father's condition has improved, I can go about my work with peace of mind. Although the shopkeeper didn't say anything, it's not good to ask for leave frequently, and there are still guys watching down there!
Let's say that Wen Cuicui carried her small package and came to the residence arranged for her by the Lin Mansion. Although it was a courtyard where servants lived, it was just her own room and she didn't have to live with others, which made her feel relieved. tone.
Looking at the furnishings in the house, although there were only beds and simple tables and chairs, they were all made of elm wood. They were not comparable to the mahogany furniture in the main hall of the Lin Mansion, but they were better than the furniture in her small courtyard. , so quite satisfied.
Thinking of what she had seen and heard in the Lin Mansion along the way, and seeing that this was just an ordinary servant's residence that was better than an ordinary person's home, Wen Cuicui's heart became eager again. If her cousin's plan succeeds, then this huge mansion And a lot of family property will belong to her children.
Therefore, Wen Cuicui seemed particularly obedient and did not pay attention to her grandma's gruff instructions. She thought that before long, she would become the de facto mistress of this mansion, and all these people would look at her face. She felt extremely happy living her life.
After seeing this cousin Wen, Lin Hui felt tired again, so she went back to her courtyard to rest while holding her belly.
Li Gu diligently wanted to come up and help her, but she flatly refused.
Let him go about his own business, and there is no need to stay with her in the mansion. There are a lot of maids and women in the mansion, and he will tell them anything.
Li Gu thought to himself, your father always said that I would not accompany you in the house, but you asked me to go out.
So he went out to Butler Wang's place with peace of mind.
Mr. Lin is still doing well so far. He has to eat at the same table with him every morning and every night. Seeing him go out early and come back late every day in high spirits, he feels like there is a small drum in his heart, as if it is beating all the time.
In addition, there have been large-scale personnel changes in the mansion in the past two days. A group of servants have been dismissed, and all the original managers have been replaced. This also makes him even more uneasy. He wonders how much Butler Wang still cares about the mansion under such circumstances. control, whether your plan can be implemented smoothly.
Waiting in the mansion is not the answer. You must discuss it with Butler Wang and come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible to solve the problem quickly.
Entering the inner room, he felt relieved when he saw that although Butler Wang still looked sick, his complexion was much better than the previous two days.
If Butler Wang is really seriously ill, it won't work if no one can give him advice.
Seeing Li Gu coming in with an anxious look, Butler Wang knew what he was doing, so before he could speak, he took the lead in saying that he had already made arrangements for what he was concerned about.
Li Gu was overjoyed when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Steward Wang, what are the arrangements? You must let me know so that I can feel at ease!"
Butler Wang couldn't bear to talk to him anymore. This man was stupid and vicious. Apart from his good looks, he had no merit whatsoever. I really don't know what the lady saw in him.
So he said perfunctorily: "I have sent someone to make arrangements. The results will be available tomorrow. I will tell you the details then. If I need your assistance, I will send someone to contact you again."
Li Gu hesitated and wanted to speak: "But in the mansion..."
What he wanted to say was that all the managers in the house had been replaced, and he was worried that it would affect the implementation of the plan, but before he could say the next words, he was interrupted by Butler Wang: "Uncle, I'm really sorry, I'm really tired. , I want to take a rest, please help yourself!" After saying that, he leaned back on the cushion behind him and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Li Gu had no choice but to swallow what he said and stood up to leave.
Although he had a kind look on his face and was not unhappy, as soon as he turned around, a look of resentment flashed across his face: Even a has-been old housekeeper dared to treat me with such contempt. Wait until I take charge of the Lin family. , got his body deed, must sell him far away!
