The Return of the Demon

"Butler Wu, come in!"

Ning Chen relaxed his bladder that was about to explode, and then called Butler Wu in.

Butler Wu walked in with a low head, followed by a pretty little maid holding a medicine bowl.

"Fourth Master, the medicine is ready... Do you have any other instructions?"

Ning Chen endured the pain, half leaned against the head of the bed, and said, "Go, empty the chamber pot for me."

Butler Wu looked up at him, his face twitching.

"Why, do you want me to pour it myself?"

Butler Wu hurriedly said, "I dare not, I will pour it now."

He walked over, carrying the chamber pot with disgust on his face, his eyes sinister.

Ning Ziming suddenly changed his attitude towards Ning Chen, and he did not dare to bully Ning Chen casually as before.

This bastard must not be favored, otherwise he will have a hard time in the future...Butler Wu thought viciously in his heart.

The little maid tried her best to suppress the corners of her lips, for fear that she would laugh out loud.

This housekeeper Wu often bullies servants like them, takes advantage of the maids, and deducts their wages, but everyone dares to be angry but dares not speak out... Today, someone finally punishes him, it's so satisfying.

Just after the little maid fed Ning Chen the medicine, housekeeper Wu came in with a tray.

The tray contained breakfast, a bowl of porridge, a few buns, a plate of pickles, and two boiled eggs.

Housekeeper Wu put the tray on the round stool beside the bed and said, "Fourth Master, I will serve you dinner, shall I?"

Ning Chen looked at him.

Housekeeper Wu smiled flatteringly.

Ning Chen also laughed, stretched out his hand to grab two eggs, and said, "I don't have much appetite, these two eggs are enough... Housekeeper Wu, help me eat the rest."

Housekeeper Wu's face froze.

In order to retaliate against Ning Chen for asking him to empty the chamber pot, he secretly spit in the porridge just now, and also pinched a few buns with the hand that emptied the chamber pot, and stirred the porridge.

He even added dirt from the soles of his shoes to the small dish of pickled vegetables.

He had no idea what to do with the eggs, but Ning Chen picked two eggs.

Could it be that Ning Chen knew what he had done?

Butler Wu felt guilty.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Butler Wu, observing his reaction.

Seeing his erratic eyes, he knew that he had guessed right, and that there must be other condiments added to this breakfast.

The reason why he only took two eggs was that the eggs needed to be peeled, and Butler Wu couldn't do anything bad.

"This is the Fourth Young Master's breakfast, I am not qualified to enjoy it... The Fourth Young Master has no appetite, but he has to eat more, so that his injury will heal faster!"

Ning Chen checked the egg in his hand for cracks. If there were any, he would not eat it, and casually said:

"Butler Wu, this is my reward to you, eat up everything on the plate, don't leave a single bite."

Butler Wu shook his head repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Fourth Young Master. Actually, I have had breakfast and I really can't eat any more."

Ning Chen peeled the egg and asked with a smile: "Butler Wu, who do you think is the master and who is the servant?"

"Of course, the Fourth Young Master is the master, and I am the servant."

"Well said! Should the servant listen to the master?"

Butler Wu hurriedly said: "Of course the servant should listen to the master."

"Okay, then I order you now to eat up everything on the plate... If you don't eat, it means you are violating the master's order. According to the family law, you will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."

Butler Wu's face turned green.

Ning Chen's face darkened, and he said sternly: "Why don't you eat quickly?"

Butler Wu was startled and hurriedly said: "I'll eat, I'll eat it right away..."

He picked up a bun, looking embarrassed.

I should have known not to add ingredients to it earlier. It's really shooting himself in the foot.

Just when Butler Wu was in a dilemma, Ning Ziming walked in.

He should have just come out of court, and he was still wearing his official uniform.

"Chen'er, do you feel better today?"

Ning Ziming smiled, like a kind father.

Ning Chen suddenly felt a little nauseous, and the egg in his hand suddenly lost its fragrance.

"Is the master back? The fourth young master just drank the medicine, and his complexion is much better...You guys chat, I'll leave first."

"Butler Wu, the food hasn't been eaten yet."

Ning Chen pointed to the tray, old thing, still want to run away? No way.

Wu Guanjia cried, "Master, I have already had breakfast, but the fourth master said he had no appetite and insisted that I eat all of it... I really can't eat anymore."

Ning Ziming looked at Ning Chen, his face full of concern: "Chen'er, you are injured, eat more and you will get better soon!"

"I have a small appetite, two eggs are enough... Let Wu Guanjia eat the rest, don't waste it."

Ning Ziming actually nodded and said, "Chen'er has a small appetite, then Wu Guanjia can eat the rest."

Wu Guanjia was dumbfounded.

He cried, "Yes!"

He dared not disobey Ning Ziming's words.

"Then I will take it down and eat it!"

Ning Chen said at the right time: "No, just eat here... Watching others eat is a kind of enjoyment."

Wu Guanjia knew that he could not escape.

He could only suppress his nausea and started to eat... That expression was more painful than Ning Chen taking medicine.

Ning Chen raised his lips slightly and looked at Ning Ziming, "Minister Ning just came out of the court, he hasn't eaten yet, right? Do you want to eat something?"

Ning Ziming was slightly startled, glanced at Butler Wu, his eyes flashed, and then shook his head.

Butler Wu suppressed his nausea and finished the food on the plate.

"Master, Fourth Young Master, that old slave is going down!"

Ning Ziming waved his hand.

"Wait!" Ning Chen suddenly stopped him, "Butler Wu, say thank you!"

Butler Wu was so angry that he almost bit his back teeth to pieces, but he still had to put on a smile, "Thank you, Fourth Young Master, for the reward!"

"You're welcome! Butler Wu, you've worked hard to take care of me. If there's any more delicious food, I'll save it for you."

Butler Wu's face twitched, "Thank you, Fourth Young Master, I'll take my leave!"

Butler Wu came out and rushed directly to the flower bed, vomiting.

Ning Chen looked at Ning Ziming, "Minister Ning just came after the court session. Do you have any good news to tell me? For example... allow me to leave the Ning Mansion?"

Ning Ziming's face darkened, "Chen'er, even if I have neglected to take care of you over the years, I am your father after all. Blood is thicker than water. How can a father bear to see you wandering on the streets? So, don't mention this matter in the future."

"What did Minister Ning come here for? Did he want to see if I was dead?"

Ning Ziming was furious: "Rebellious son, can you speak properly? You have to be so weird. I am your father. Do you know the word filial piety?"

Ning Chen sneered.

"Minister Ning is really funny. I used to be cautious and tried to please you in every way. The dog in the yard bit me, and I had to apologize to the dog... May I ask which of you has ever looked me in the eye?"

"Minister Ning wants a filial son now, is it too late... That submissive Ning Chen is dead."

Ning Ziming's face was ashen.

"Chen'er, as a second-rank official of the court, your father is busy with official duties and indeed neglected to take care of you. Your father will definitely make it up to you in the future."

"I know you are resentful, but you should also understand the difficulties of your father."

Ning Chen sneered in his heart. What should he understand? Should he understand that you abandoned your wife and children and were unkind? Or should he understand that you are unworthy of being a father and did not care about your own son?
