"I was afraid that you would be sad, so I never wanted to talk about what I bought back."

"No, I'm very happy," said Diana, "but you still hang in the study. You work here every day, which is a good position."

Yi Lian nodded.

"Please let me guess, you must have spent a lot of money to buy this painting." When she said this, Diana smiled wryly and helplessly.

According to her understanding of Earl Wellesley, Yi Lian can definitely be said to have suffered a heavy loss.

But money is something outside the body, and the value of this painting cannot be measured by money.

She originally thought that she would hear a price that made her dumbfounded, but unexpectedly, Yi Lian looked her in the eyes.

Then he said, "I didn't use a penny."

"what?"

"Someone gave it to me."

"Don't be joking. I don't think that Mr. Earl is a philanthropist." Diana's tone was full of sarcasm.

Yi Lian's eyes are very magnanimous.

"I didn't say he gave it to me."

"..."

"It was from Eun."

Hearing this name, Miss Diana turned pale.

"What are you kidding," said Diana, her voice much lower, "the lame servant?"

"Ah."

"Where did he get the money?!"

"I don't know. But he does get money somewhere, like . . . "

Diana's heart skipped a beat.

I only heard Yi Lian say: "For example, he sent over [-] pounds."

"..."

Mr. Yi Lian didn't make things difficult for Diana that day, he let her flustered back to the room and called the housekeeper over.

"She has something to hide from me, and she will definitely not take the initiative to say it." Yi Lian was dealing with the unprocessed letters during her illness, "It doesn't matter, I will check it out one day. You En, go and get that letter..."

Before she finished speaking, Yi Lian was stunned.

The butler reminded: "Mr. Yi Lian, You En has left the manor."

Yi Lian seemed to have just recovered, and nodded, "Recently I've been thinking about this servant, and I've been confused for a while."

The housekeeper said: "He is really hard-working. He is willing to do any dirty work, and he does not use his disabled leg to avoid work."

Hearing this, Yi Lian frowned.But he quickly snorted.

Yi Lian suddenly said, "How do servants take an oath before entering the manor to work?"

"This..." The steward didn't understand why the master asked such a question, but replied truthfully: "In reply to the master, every servant must swear, 'Adored and most respected master, I entrust myself under your control. Your humble servant and beneficiary.'."

"That's right." Yi Lian said calmly, "I don't need any hard-working servants. I just need to be loyal enough to me."

A servant who runs away halfway cannot be called loyal.

I don't know why, when Yi Lian said such calm words, his expression showed that he was in trouble.

The butler bowed his head and said yes, just as he was about to leave the room, he suddenly glanced at the master's shoes.

"Your shoes..."

Yi Lian followed the housekeeper's gaze and looked over.

The butler immediately knelt on the ground and wiped the owner's shoes with the cloth towel on his chest.

...the new stupid servant!They should be shining shoes for the rest of their lives!

Yi Lian didn't seem to care: "Maybe it got a little dirty when I went out early in the morning."

"I'm very sorry, I should have found out in time."

Yi Lian smiled: "You are always too particular about this. But the shoe shiner was very serious before, you can let him come over in his spare time, I want to reward him..."

"..." The butler's expression was very delicate.

"how?"

"My master...he, may not be able to come here."

"how?"

"It was You En who polished your shoes before."

"..."

After afternoon tea, the butler put on his coat and top hat and set off from the manor.

According to Mr. Yi Lian's instructions, he took the tenant's carriage and drove to the south of the manor.

Mr. Yi Lian's land stretches as far as the eye can see.He is good at management, and he is never harsh. He only collects a small amount of tax from each household, which makes his manor happy and full of vitality.

New life is bred on this land, and a profound history is also deposited. Everyone who sees it with their own eyes will feel grateful to Yi Lian.

The place the butler is going to is in the southernmost part of Mr. Yi Lian's estate.

A place where the management is a little out of control, but the land price is the lowest and the rent is the lowest.

It was a house built of stone.There was a lot of dry grass stuffed in the gap, and from the outside, it looked as if a gust of wind could blow it over.

The steward thanked the hitchhiker, put on his hat, and knocked on the door.

There was no one in the house.

The butler sat on the stone in front of the hut and waited until evening.

He just saw a person limping coming from a distance.

The butler stood up.

Seeing someone sitting in front of the house, You En said warily, "Who?"

With the light through the glass of the neighbor's house, You En could clearly see the face of the visitor: "It's you."

"You came back so late?" The butler was a little surprised.

You En nodded, didn't say much, but opened the door.

He's just not talkative.Except in front of Mr. Yi Lian, he rarely spoke.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is not only lame, but also seems to be dumb.

The butler followed him into the house.

There was a candle in the room, not a lot of space but clean.There is only one bed simply placed under the window, and there is no other furniture.

It's as if the owner of this house doesn't intend to live there all the time.

"What do you want from me? I think I've returned the money to . . . "

Eun spoke in a low voice.He poured himself a glass of water from the table and drank it back.The steward noticed, for some reason, that he only used his right hand.

The butler took out the money order from his pocket.

"I can't complete your request. Sorry."

"……why?"

"The money is unknown. I can't put the owner in danger."

"...You're right." You En smiled wryly, and put down the teacup in his hand, "But I can't think of any other way to pay back the money. I may never see Mr. Yi Lian again."

As he said this, the servant's eyelids were lowered, and the light was dim, making it impossible to discern his true emotion.

The housekeeper said, "Mr. Yi Lian was just angry for a while. I think he still really wants you to go back to work."

You En shook his head and said directly: "You didn't come here just for this, did you? Please speak up."

If it's just to remit the money, he can return the mail back the same way instead of coming in person.

The butler nodded and said in a very apologetic tone: "I'm sorry. Miss Diana's jewelry was found. We framed you. I still have to apologize to you in person."

You En froze for a moment, then said, "It's okay. I haven't been punished in any way."

"But……"

"As for the [-] pounds, please help me return it to Mr. Yi Lian slowly, in a way that he won't notice." You En said, "This is his money, I can't touch it. I promise it will never be What dangerous money."

"..." The steward nodded, "Since you trust me so much, then I will accept it. It's just that I've made you unjust, you can make a request, no matter how difficult it is, I will fulfill it for you."

After speaking, the housekeeper listened carefully.This is Mr. Yi Lian's request, he must work hard to complete the task assigned by the master.

You En looked at the visitor in surprise, but also thought about it for a moment.

After a few minutes, You En said, "I do have a request..."

"Please say."

"Because of work, I will pass by Mr. Yi Lian's castle every morning. At that time, can you let me shine the shoes for Mr.? I promise to leave there before the master gets up."

"……what?"

"I only have this request."

...Completely different from what was expected, the butler opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Chapter 23 8, [-].

8,

The housekeeper said: "Yes. But I have to ask, the shoe polish is obviously the same, why do you wipe it so clean?"

Eun said: "Naturally, it needs to be wiped several times."

Of course the butler didn't believe what he said.The servants dare not rashly reduce the frequency of wiping, but there are always omissions.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, You En didn't say any more.

"Mr. Yi Lian thinks that the new servant doesn't wipe clean. I will be relieved to have your help." But the housekeeper thought for a while, and suddenly felt strange, "You live too far away, so you come here in the morning. I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"

Eun said: "I found a casual job, which is near Mr.'s castle."

The housekeeper nodded: "So you came back so late today because you are far away from work."

Eun said nothing.

He came back late because he went to see a doctor.

However, there is no need to tell others about this kind of thing.

The butler had completed his task. At this time, the sky was gloomy, and the incomplete daylight had already merged with the street lamps on the street.If he doesn't leave, he won't be able to catch the return carriage, so he bids farewell to Eun and gets into the carriage.

You En stood at the door, and the housekeeper suddenly said to him: "Look at my memory. I forgot to tell you a great thing."

"what?"

"In spring, the owner of the manor will get married."

Eun lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.The wind that blows in winter can knock people down.

He said softly: "...It's a good thing."

The steward did not hear what he said.When the carriage was running forward, You En was still standing there, because of the change in angle, the butler happened to see that he had been hiding his left hand.

For some reason, those hands were covered with bandages.

It is easy to make money in Yi Lian's manor, Eun.However, in ordinary society, there is an abundance of young and strong labor force, and no one wants to hire a disabled person.

Eun searched for a job for several days, and finally found a shop that could support him.The salary is not much, fortunately Eun does not need other expenses, he started working soon.

It was a gloomy shop, and Eun's usual job was to do some menial work in the shop.

The owner was a fat woman named Rose.Yoon doesn't know her specific job.It's just that there are often people gathered outside the store, and You En thought she owed money to others, so she was cautious when working, and didn't dare to go out.

Although the female shopkeeper gave him a small salary, she did not treat him harshly.

You know, even poor families may have servants, most of whom are poorly paid, and often beat and kicked by their employers.Even if they kill a low-level servant, they don't have to bear any legal responsibility. According to the law, the servant is nothing but the property of the employer, and it is the master's right to dispose of it.

Ms. Rose only told him what to do, not chatted with him.Even if Eun can only work with one hand recently and the progress is slow, the female shopkeeper does not scold him.

Eun is very satisfied with this job, because it is very close to Yi Lian's castle.Every morning, he can come here in a carriage, and after polishing Yi Lian's shoes, he can walk here.

In his spare time, Eun often stares at the castle not far away.One day the shopkeeper suddenly said to him, "You can resign."
