Immediately after the death of the master

The chopsticks were only used to move the noodles, and when he ate them, the noodles were already a bit cold, but he still enjoyed eating.

Moreover, after he finished eating the noodles, he didn't even let me do the rough work of washing the dishes. He carried the bowls to the kitchen to clean them up.

Listening to the sound of him washing dishes in the kitchen, I sat alone in the yard, deeply feeling that I was an incompetent servant.

However, thinking this way, I didn't take the initiative to help Ji Qinghe in the kitchen...

Well, I really am an incompetent servant.

39,

On the second day of Ji Qinghe's birthday, another thing happened.

It was still dark when I got up.

When I went to wake Ji Qinghe up with a lantern, I passed the stone table and found a new object appeared on the stone table that had been emptied last night.

I tapped my head to make sure I had cleaned the place last night.

So, what is that?

I rubbed my eyes and moved over, there was a bundle on the table, I opened it, I only glanced at the contents, and then—

"Master, son--"

Ji Qinghe only hurriedly put on a dark red coat, and was dragged out by me.

"What's the matter, Li Sanpang, you're so flustered this morning?"

In my panicked eyes, Ji Qinghe saw what was in the package.

He burst out laughing.

"What, what did I think it was?" He leaned on my shoulder and said with a smile, "You are so scared for this little money, what will you do in the future? Don't worry, this is..."

I didn't hear what Ji Qinghe said after that, but that package attracted all my attention.

In that package was white silver, which was almost overflowing. Under the illumination of the light, the continuous rays of light almost blinded my eyes, but I was still reluctant to blink, because it was the sign of wealth. The color is the color that can radiate and illuminate the wealth around me. It is a color that I never had at that time.

I know that because of this thing, my mother-in-law abandoned my grandfather; it was because of this thing that my stepfather, who was well educated in poetry, abandoned me; utensils.

This demon called money is responsible for half of my life.

That's why I want this monster called wealth even more.

Ji Qinghe didn't wait for my answer, so he raised his head from my shoulder. It's been so long that I can no longer know what my expression was like at that time, but I vaguely feel that that expression must be related to greed and desire, yes A collection of ugly human faces.

What Ji Qinghe saw at the time was exactly my face, but he didn't dislike him or loathe him. There was some kind of light in his eyes that I couldn't understand. He hooked my shoulders and led me to the stone table.

He picked out the biggest piece of broken silver and forced it into my hand.

"Neng, this is yours."

Ji Qinghe's tone was sweet and warm, and there was a bewitching aura in his peach blossom eyes. Under his gaze, I subconsciously clenched the silver in my hand, the cold metal feeling was aroused, and my feverish brain regained consciousness for a moment.

"No, I can not……"

"Hush—" Ji Qinghe stretched out his index finger to press against my lips, preventing my unfulfilled rejection.

"I gave it to you, just keep it."

His sweet tone and indistinct breath made me forget my own thoughts. Once again, I surrendered to his beauty and could only passively accept all his domination.

Seeing me calm down, Ji Qinghe put down his index finger, and took my hand holding the silver instead.

In my hand, it is cold and hard silver; outside my hand, it is a soft and boneless warm touch.

Wealth and sex, this is the hurdle that countless people can't get around in their lives, and it made me completely dizzy when I was young.

"after--"

Ji Qinghe's hands tightened slightly, I looked up at him blankly, he said.

"We'll have more."

He pulled the corner of his mouth open, revealing two sharp canine teeth.

This time, in his smile, there was the smell of blood.

40,

Drama in the shadows ends when the sun rises.

Ji Qinghe returned to the house with his back to the rising sun, his thin clothes outlined his thin figure, the dawn sunlight reflected on his dark red robe, like flowing blood.

In front of her eyes was a magnificent back, and in her hands were heavy real money.

I lowered my head, playing with the silver in my hand, content and happy like a child who never grew up.

I, Li Sanpang, Li Nianen, have been unable to shake off my desire for money for the rest of my life.

I used to think that this was the "bad nature of the poor" engraved deep in my bone marrow.

But now, having lost everything and waiting for the time of death, I vaguely understand that there is a deeper reason.

It was because of my ignorant age. I had been abandoned many times because of money. Even though I had completely despaired of love because of my miserable childhood, deep down in my heart, I still had delusions——

If, if then.

I already have the damn money.

Is it true that I won't be abandoned again?

41,

In any case, Ji Qinghe is my former master, and the reason why he became my former master.

It's because I betrayed him.

And on the eve of my betrayal, he naively wanted to help me, a white-eyed wolf.

After the relationship between me and my master has improved slightly, the bullying of me in the mansion has not decreased.However, their methods of bullying are too low in level, lacking in variety and too light in strength. If it weren't for their unwillingness to communicate with me, a countryman, I would like to teach them what it means to bully.

Compared with the bullying of other attendants, the bullying of the book boy is mostly verbal suppression, and it is also more hidden, so it is difficult to be discovered.Usually it is when they meet each other in Fuchu, or when they are waiting for the young masters to dismiss their classes from home.

That day, too.

Half an hour before the young masters came out, a small group of bored book boys gathered beside me and began to sneer.

"Yo~ I smelled the stench from a long way away, I said who is it, so it's Xiao Lizi who came~~"

"Who is Xiao Lizi, the notorious eunuch?"

It doesn't matter if you don't utter dirty words when swearing, but do you still use idioms? Is it so polite?

After the relationship with Ji Qinghe eased, I was in a good mood. Not only was I willing to respond to these people who mocked him in my heart, but I was also willing to meet their needs, pretending to be angry and dare not speak out, so as to let their self-esteem get great satisfaction.

"Hey, our little Li can't compare to the one from the previous court, no matter how bad the previous court is... woo--"

Before the last little bookboy could finish his sentence, someone kicked him hard in the stomach.The person who was kicked immediately covered his stomach and fell sideways on the ground.

Smiling in my heart, I was immediately taken aback, only to realize that Ji Qinghe had stood beside me at some point.

No, isn't he still an hour before get out of class ends?How did he get out?Could it be that he skipped class?

"Son, you..."

I wanted to ask Ji Qinghe what was going on, but he protected me behind me.

Ji Qinghe kicked the fallen man again.For a person of Ji Qinghe's background, it is necessary to practice martial arts since childhood. Although he is young and his body is not strong, if he is cruel, few people can stand it.

I originally wanted to persuade him, but seeing his sullen look, I was worried that this persuasion would worsen our relationship that had just warmed up again, so I shrank my head and stopped talking.

The atmosphere around Ji Qinghe was gloomy and cold, and he showed no mercy to a person who had no ability to resist. He kicked him on the head with one kick, his chest with the other kick, and his abdomen with another kick. Concerned about where he kicked, the people around were too frightened to move by Ji Qinghe's ruthless actions and gloomy expression.The person who was kicked was stunned at first and didn't respond, but after recovering, he began to cry and beg.

I watched from behind him, and I knew that Ji Qinghe's kicking style was completely deadly. According to his strength and position, this man is no longer a matter of breaking a few ribs, his internal organs must be It will be damaged, if Ji Qinghe continues, this person will definitely die here.

Unfortunately, I don't have any intention of stepping forward to stop it. After all, Ji Qinghe's dark eyes are full of indifference and numbness, as if human life is nothing to him.

Just like all the high nobles, they don't care about the lives of their servants.

In the final analysis, even if Ji Qinghe is no longer favored in the Ji family, no matter how poor his food and clothing are, and no matter how inferior his personality is, he is still the fourth son of the Ji family, a child of Dayu's top aristocratic family.

Be a true nobleman.

42,

The person who was continuously beaten by Ji Qinghe gradually became silent, and I watched his death with cold eyes.

The man's brother was still in a good mood, seeing that his brother was about to die, he didn't care about the distinction between master and servant, one went up to stop Ji Qinghe, the other protected the book boy who was already venting too much, and the other advised him from the sidelines.

"Fourth Young Master, please be merciful and stop, he is about to die!"

Unknowingly being touched by that word, Ji Qinghe stopped and looked at the person lying on the ground. At this time, the person had no reaction, and he seemed to be dying.

Ji Qinghe stared blankly at the blood on his shoes, his body suddenly began to tremble, he took half a step back, then turned his head abruptly, looking at me with great fear.

"I……"

Faced with Ji Qinghe's almost pleading eyes,
