Master of Rebirth

After leaving Wang Lishi, just as Wang Qi stepped into the Dongyuan where she lived alone, the servant Wang Sheng ran over in a panic and said anxiously: "Master, you are back. Not long after you left, Jia Fugui came I even broke into your study and took away the painting you just hung on the wall, claiming to borrow it for a few days, but I really can’t stop it.”

"Which painting?" Wang Qi asked in a low voice.

"This..." Wang Sheng said with a guilty conscience, "It's the "Dwelling in the Autumn Mountain" that Mr. Zhang gave you."

"There are so many things in the study, why did he choose that painting? Did you tell it to show off?" Although she already knew about it, Wang Qi went through the motions and asked pretendingly.

A trace of guilt appeared on Wang Sheng's face, and he quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "It's my fault. A few days ago, you asked me to take that painting to the 'Poetry and Painting Studio' to frame it. When I was going out, I happened to meet Jia Fu Gui spoke ill of the young master with a few servants in the concierge, the young ones were really annoyed, so..."

"Just move old Mr. Zhang out to stand up to me?" Wang Qi's voice didn't fluctuate.

"It's not good to be a small one. The small one just wanted to use Mr. Zhang's name to scare Jia Fugui, so he showed off the painting on purpose. Let him know that the young master and Mr. Zhang can make the decisions, and it's not his kind of person who bullies casually." Yes. Who knew that just after he brought back that painting today, he..." Wang Sheng said guiltily.

Wang Qi also knew that Wang Sheng's intentions were good, but unfortunately now that Zhang Yunlin was seriously ill and time was short, Jia Fugui naturally would not have any worries.Wang Qi knew him very well.This scoundrel has always been mean and shameless, has a small belly, and is good at poking people's weaknesses.He must have hated Wang Sheng for using Zhang Yunlin to oppress him, making him lose face in front of all the servants, so he deliberately picked up the painting Zhang Yunlin gave him, and slapped Wang Sheng backhandedly, giving him a blow.

Wang Qi smiled heartily, but that's good too, with this, it saved him a lot of trouble.

"Okay, let's get up." Looking at Wang Sheng with a guilty face, Wang Qi didn't make things difficult for him, "Leave this matter alone, and don't mention it again in the future."

Seeing Wang Qi put the matter down so lightly, Wang Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, and persuaded: "Master, you can't forget about this matter. There is no reason to break into someone's house to take things when the master is not at home. It's clearly a robbery. Last time when he pushed you down, he should have told the second master and the old lady, but you just kept it secret and didn't let the little one tell. Jia Fugui also tried little by little. He came here because he was sure that you wouldn't dare to offend him, so he kicked his nose in the face."

"Even if I'm looking for my second uncle and grandma, they may not make the decision for me. Besides, haven't you already moved Mr. Zhang out, is it useful?" Wang Qi asked back.

Wang Sheng was at a loss for words for a while, but he was still not reconciled, and persuaded earnestly: "Master, this is not an option. Jia Fugui has already tasted the sweetness from you. If he continues, the valuable things in our yard will be emptied sooner or later." of."

Looking back at Wang Sheng, Wang Qi said, "Remember, don't tell anyone about these things. When Jia Fugui comes again in the future, let him take whatever he wants. Just pretend you didn't see it. Don't fight with him." .”

After Wang Qi finished speaking, she strode away.

"What you say is too high on other people's ambitions, and it will destroy your own prestige. If it spreads, wouldn't it make the whole Wang family know that the young master is afraid of Jia Fugui, that scum." Muttering in his heart, Wang Sheng glanced at it not far away. To the servants here, he sighed leisurely.

He also knew that the Wang family was headed by the second master, and his young master lost his parents, and he was not liked by the old lady, so it was normal for him to receive some cold treatment on weekdays.But Jia Fugui only got the attention of the second young master because his younger sister was the second young master's favorite concubine, and now she is still bullying the young master.Wang Sheng couldn't help being wronged for his young master.

Wang Sheng has served Wang Qi personally since he was a child. He has a mirror in his heart about what is going on in the Wang family.In fact, he also understands that although Jia Fugui is a scoundrel, he is not stupid.Without the second young master's secret support, he didn't have the guts to bully his own young master.It's not wrong for the young master not to complain to the second master and the old lady.

Now there is no room for the young master to talk at home, not to mention that because of Jia's woman, the young master and the second young master are already having an unpleasant fight.Back then, Jia Fugui's younger sister climbed up to the young master first.Jia's family background is humble, in order to marry her, the young master was often scolded by the old lady.Originally, the matter was about to come to an end, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Jia suddenly changed her mind and threw herself into the embrace of the second young master.

As the saying goes, brothers and wives cannot be bullied.After all, it didn't sound good when it got out, but the second young master was so fascinated by that vixen, afraid that the young master would not let it go, and even more afraid that the people in the county would gossip and ruin his reputation, so he asked the old lady to make decisions.Originally a woman who couldn't be on the stage, now that the second young master likes it, she has become a treasure instead.

The old lady didn't want to twist the second young master's mind, so she not only agreed to their affairs, but also declared that Jia Shi was the concubine she personally chose for the second young master, breaking the relationship between Jia Shi and the young master, and blocking other people's mouths.

Although this matter is over now, there is a gap between both sides.Even if the young master went to sue Jia Fugui, the second master would probably send the young master back with a few perfunctory words.Not to mention the old lady, it is a treasure to be the second young master all the time, it is not unreasonable at all, and even the slaves and servants under him are taller than him.Not only would he not believe it, but he might think that the young master had never passed the previous hurdles, so he dragged Jia Fugui to be the second young master's article, accusing him of slandering his brother for nothing.

Seeing the young master being bullied, Wang Sheng also felt unable to swallow this breath.It's a pity that the young master endured it, so what can he do as a servant?Sighing, Wang Sheng thought about it, and advised the young master to put away all the valuable things in the house.But if he escaped today, what about tomorrow?

Standing behind the window curtain, watching Wang Sheng go away with a sad face, Wang Qi was still a little moved.Since their parents left, the servants in Dongyuan have basically turned to Wang Long, and they don't pay attention to his serious master at all.Wang Sheng is probably the only one in this family who is willing to think about him.As for the grandmother, yes, it is better not to have.

Thinking of Wang Lishi, Wang Qi sneered again.Although his father was a businessman, his temper was relatively upright, not as glib as his second uncle Wang Feng, so he was not liked by Mrs. Wang and Li.Mrs. Wang and Li originally favored the two youngest sons, but after having a grandson, it was logical to bring this preference to the next generation.

Although Wang Qi and Wang Long are cousins, they are about the same age.Ever since Wang Qi could remember, Wang and Li had been very partial to Wang Long, even if Wang Long made a mistake, she would try her best to protect him, try her best to find excuses to cover him, and would not give up any loss to let him suffer.

When I was young, my father and my second uncle went out to do business with my grandfather, and my mother and second aunt Zhu sometimes took care of them. He and Wang Long basically grew up with Wang Li.If there are any rare things, Wang Long should choose them first.Wang Li's reason is also very high-sounding, the elder brother should give way to the younger brother.

I was not sensible when I was young, so who can afford to argue.If the two fight, if he makes Wang Long cry, he will be a bastard, and he will let his younger brother know nothing about it, and he will definitely be useless when he grows up.If Wang Long made him cry, it means that the younger brother didn't do it on purpose. Why is he so narrow-minded when he is an older brother?

It is precisely because he has succumbed to his grandmother's despotic power for a long time that he has developed such a character of being submissive, not daring to fight, not daring to grab.

If it's just this, it's fine. Wang Qi still clearly remembers that when she was eight years old, Wang Lishifei said that he stole the pastry left for her third uncle, and chased him for half an hour. Later, she found out that the pastry was Wang Long's. Stealing the food, the old lady repeatedly praised Wang Long for being smart in front of him, so he could find the most expensive and best snacks from a pile of snacks when he was young, and he would definitely be promising when he grows up.

Seeing the grandparents and grandchildren enjoying themselves happily, Wang Qi realized for the first time that she was an outsider.

It is a pity that the "promising" grandson has not achieved much academically, but his homework is not bad, and he is often praised by his husband.The old lady kept blaming her husband for being bad, for being prejudiced against Wang Long, and not teaching him carefully.Several teachers were changed in a row, but unfortunately Wang Long's studies still did not improve.

At the age of 15, Wang Qi was successful in her studies and was recommended to take the provincial examination. If she passed the examination, she would be able to take the general examination and even the palace examination, and then become an official, like the third uncle.Although Wang Lishi was not happy in his heart, he was also very kind to him on the surface.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and before the township examination came, the imperial court suddenly issued a document that all merchants would be disqualified from the examination afterward.

This cut off his official career and hope.Wang Qi clearly remembered Wang Lishi's expression when he heard the news. He just put his mind on seeing a joke on his face. He laughed happily for several days without even covering it up. Talking nonsense, "Don't think about good things!"

From that time on, Wang Qi knew clearly that Wang Li didn't want him to be better than Wang Long, let alone want him to live better than Wang Long.Just like now, both he and Wang Long are 17 years old.He has no wife and no children, and is alone, while Wang Long already has a group of wives and concubines, and his son is almost one year old.These cannot be said to be without the credit of Mrs. Wang and Li.

Thinking of the past, Wang Qi sneered.Back then, it was because he was too aloof from the world, only wanted to live a good life, retreated as soon as he could, and endured as long as he could, so he let a group of low-class scumbags ride on his head.Since God let him return to this time, he will clean up all those who have wronged him.Jia Fugui was the first one.

He took out a small seal from his sleeve, which was actually carved out of wax. The bottom of the seal was stained with red ink pad, and the words "Yunlin" and "69" could be vaguely discerned on it.

Wang Qi casually threw the seal into the brazier next to it. Seeing that it had melted completely without any trace, she gave a calculated smile.

Since the old lady likes to protect her shortcomings so much, she asked everyone in the family to make way for Wang Long and put him first in everything, even a dog under his hand tried every means to protect her.He would like to see if someone more powerful than the Wang family came to his door, would the old lady still have the ability to send her short-term care to other people's homes, so that other families would also make way for this precious grandson.
