Chapter 41: Heresy

Everyone fell to their knees on the ground with a thud. Their master had been moody over the past decade or so, and his temper had become extremely bad.

No one knew what had happened, it had changed so suddenly.

On the other side, Qin Beimu found another killer and he was determined to kill Nangong Xue.

This little bitch actually dared to ruin his good thing, so she can't stay.

I thought this little bitch would be of some help to him when she grew up. Anyway, no one knew whose bastard she was. As long as she could help him consolidate his career, that would be enough.

It turns out that he is useless and is just a useless fool. Now he is even a heretic.

She even dared to beat his daughter and took away the old bitch's dowry. He really wanted to kill her immediately.

Little bitch, let’s see how you can escape this time. Those people will cut you into pieces and skin you alive.

You still want to marry the King of War? You’re dreaming.

Nangong Xue didn't know that someone wanted to kill her again.

There are always villains who want to harm me.

At noon on the second morning, the palace steward bought a house for the future princess, along with a housekeeper, an accountant, old women, maids, and guards.

Nangong Xue went to see the house, and was quite satisfied with the housekeeper, the old women, the maids and the guards.

The housekeeper is really reliable, and the maid is the kind that is not particularly good-looking but can do the job.

The women were honest and decent people. In ancient times, people could be bought and sold at will.

In this fictional dynasty, human life is really worthless. A person can be bought for a few or even dozens of taels.

And they can be sold at will. There is no human rights here.

The master of the family can decide your life or death at any time, especially in those big families where there are so many dirty things.

Those young masters and ladies would often take out their anger on others, and the maids were even worse off.

Butler Hu asked cautiously.

"Princess! Are you satisfied with this house and these people? If you are not satisfied with them, I will replace them immediately. Is there anything in the house that needs improvement?"

Nangong Xue: "Housekeeper, you've done a great job. The house is nice, low-key yet cozy.

That’s enough for my brother and I. As for these servants, you better listen to me.

I'll just say this once: since you're here, you better do your job well."

"If anyone behaves like a slave bullying his master, deceiving his superiors and hiding the truth from his subordinates, or betraying his own people, then your fate will not be as simple as being sold.

But as long as you work hard and take good care of the young master, you will definitely benefit."

"Did you all hear that clearly?"

"Replying to the master, we all heard clearly."

"Well, the butler has 500 taels of silver here. You can use it to buy each of you a few more sets of clothes, as well as daily necessities and bedding. My people don't need to dress so shabbily.

You can also buy some grains, oils, vegetables, etc., and arrange your own meals.

The young master's meals only require three dishes and one soup.

Master, this is too much. How can we servants use so much?"

Nangong Xue: "Just take it if I give it to you. If you can't use it all, just find a notebook to keep accounts."

"Yes, Master, I will definitely find a notebook to record these expenses clearly so that you can check the account at any time."

"Um."

The housekeeper felt that they were extremely lucky to have met such a good master.

Half an hour later, Nangong Xue brought Qin Yunxuan to the new house she bought for him.

"Little brother, take a look at this house I bought for you. Do you like it? And the servants too.

Come here, everyone. This is your other master. You will all obey his orders from now on."

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Yunxuan, "Greetings, Master."

Of course, Qin Yunxuan also understood his sister's good intentions, which was to make him proud.

"Well, all of you get up! It's really nice to just do your best from now on."

Everyone said in unison, "Master, servants, we will serve you wholeheartedly."

"Well, all of you should leave! Go and do your own thing."

"Yes, servants, take your leave."

After these people left, Qin Yunxuan looked at his sister with starry eyes.

"Sister, will we have our own home in the future? That's great. I haven't wanted to stay in that home for a long time.

I used to be weak and Qin Chufan always bullied me. I could only endure it because I knew that no one would stand up for me even if I said anything.

He wants to steal my monthly allowance, my clothes, and everything.

Later, my two sisters and I lost everything because he acted like a troublemaker in front of Zhou.

But now everything is different, he is not his father's child.

From now on, we will keep our distance from each other."

Nangong Xue thought about it and decided to show the letter left by their mother to this adopted brother.

"Brother, come with me, I have something to tell you."

"Sister, what do you want to tell me? It's so mysterious."

"You'll know once you get here. Why ask so many questions?"

Arriving at the master bedroom, Nangong Xue took out the letter and said, "Brother, read it yourself. You will know after you finish reading it."

"What is this mysterious thing?"

Qin Yunxuan took the letter and read it carefully. He was a little bit incredulous after reading it.

It turns out that he and his sister are not their father's children, no wonder others treat them like this.

In this way, he finally resolved the knot in his heart. It was good that he was not his father's child. Otherwise, no one could tolerate being treated differently.

"Sister, is this why you later disliked that scumbag dad so much?

You've been planning to move out for a long time, right?"

"Um."

"There's no need for us to stay in that house. Not to mention that he's not our father, even if he was, with the way he treated us, is there anything worth staying with us?

Little brother, I tell you not to be indecisive. If you hesitate when you should make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. We must cut the Gordian knot quickly.

Anyway, you have learned martial arts now and are able to protect yourself. We can live better without him."

"In the Shangshu Mansion, we were just punching bags and bullies.

But when I left that house, even the plaque of Shangshu Mansion was no longer necessary."

"Sister, I will listen to you and do whatever you say.

I am in good health now, I will study hard, maybe I can get the top score in the imperial examination for my sister."

"Okay, don't worry about anything else now, just focus on exercising well. We also need to have a limit when studying.

You can't just bury your head in studying, that won't be effective.

Sometimes, going out for a walk and seeing more of the world is more useful than studying for a few more years."

"After all, you have no life experience, so everything you have is just talk.

If you are an official, you stay in the court all day and have no idea about the suffering of the people.

And what they report to you is only what they want you to know.”

"When you think your subordinates are governing well, the people may be living in dire straits."
