Chapter 130
When Xue Shun, Shen Jiao and others returned to Liao'e Courtyard, the two lanterns at the door had already been taken away.
Of course, the deaf and dumb people in the lamp were taken away together.
There were many people surrounding the courtyard. As soon as Xue Shun and the others entered, the people outside closed the gate tightly.
There were also quite a few people left in the courtyard.
Liangua Yuge'er and Wei Qian opened the doors and windows of the main house a crack and waved to Xue Shun and the others, saying, "Young Master, please come back soon."
Xue Shun took Shen Jiao and took two quick steps into the house.
Everyone in the room was still confused. When Wei Qian saw them, he asked, "What happened? Those people outside won't tell us and won't let us go out."
Xue Shun said with a grim expression, "I'm not too sure either. Anyway, just stay here. Something seems to be happening outside."
He was also quite scared, but he knew he was the master, so he pretended to be calm and reassured everyone, "Don't be afraid, these people were sent by Mother to protect us, and not letting us go out is for our own good."
Wei Qian and the others nodded, unable to hide their worry.
Liangua asked again, "Then the person behind you...was he also sent by the Madam?"
"Behind him?!" Xue Shun was startled and turned his head sharply. Only after seeing the man's appearance clearly did he calm down and said,
"No, this is my second brother's guard, who was ordered to bring me back. You..."
Xue Shun had already forgotten the name of the white-faced man.
He cupped his hands and said, "I will maintain the status quo."
"Okay, I've got that in mind. Shoucheng, I'm already there. Go back to your second brother."
"I have been ordered to escort the Seventeenth Young Master back to Liao'e Courtyard and remain there to protect him," he said in a serious tone, a sly, self-righteous smile on his square face. "The Second Young Master said that if the Seventeenth Young Master knew the second half of the sentence, he would probably refuse. So, he asked me to come back with you and tell you later."
Xue Shun: ...
"I can refuse now," Xue Shun said, waving his hand. "I have enough people in this courtyard. Second brother's situation is more important. You should go back quickly."
"I'm sorry I can't obey your order. I'm here to protect the Seventeenth Young Master under the Second Young Master's orders. Unless you recall me, I won't go anywhere."
This big, white-faced man seems to be a stubborn guy, and a stubborn guy who thinks he is humorous.
He said, "Or...if Young Master Seventeen suddenly mastered a peerless martial art and could defeat all opponents in the martial arts world, then I can return home without worry."
Xue Shun: ...
"Then you stay here, stay until you die. If you have the guts, don't go back in this life."
Xue Shun, who had poor martial arts skills and mediocre talent, was deeply hurt by these words and immediately became angry.
Shoucheng smiled calmly and said, "If the Second Young Master agrees, then it's not impossible."
He is easy to talk to.
Xue Shun was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He hit his chest twice but still felt stuffy.
He hadn't eaten anything, his stomach was uncomfortable, and he felt drowsy and dizzy. He staggered and was supported by Shen Jiao.
Shoucheng's face changed drastically upon seeing this, his pale face flushed with fear. "Seventeenth Young Master has been poisoned? Which despicable villain did this? I was completely unaware of it. I have truly failed the Second Young Master's trust. If Seventeenth Young Master dies from this, I will surely die with him. I..."
"Don't scream, go away, I'm fine, I have a doctor here."
Xue Shun wanted to tell him to get out, but after all, this man had no bad intentions and was sent by his second brother with good intentions. Moreover, Xue Shun's temper was much better than before, so he was able to be patient and gave the order calmly.
Shoucheng reluctantly put his mind at ease and silently stepped back a few steps, still looking seriously at Wei Qian who came forward to take his pulse, until he heard him say, "It's nothing, just eat something and you'll be fine."
Only then did I suddenly feel relieved and let out a breath of relief.
Everyone looked at him.
Shoucheng scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Where is the food? Let me get it."
"No need, it's in the room." Wei Qian raised his head proudly.
Liangua agreed and praised, "Thanks to Doctor Wei's foresight, he was afraid that something serious might happen, so he asked us to take a lot of food and hide it in the house, so that we wouldn't be unable to go out and starve."
I have to thank Xue Lang and the others for this.
If Liangua and the others had not experienced being beaten and trapped in the yard to chant scriptures and pray, and enduring hunger, and had not seen Shenjiao and the others being locked up without a single drop of water or rice, they would not have bothered.
It wouldn't be like it is now. I just moved the rice jar in and put a few jars of water in the house.
Whenever Xue Shun wanted to eat, he could just cook on a small stove.
They also helped Wei Qian move all the medicine in his room.
Soon they each held a bowl of porridge and started slurping it.
Sitting or standing, it was like a room full of refugees, so desolate that there was not even a bite of pickled vegetables, let alone oil.
Xue Shun: "...Just take the rice?"
The maids, led by Shen Jiao, all felt a little guilty, looking at each other.
Finally, Shen Jiao bravely admitted something: "My lord, you don't know, our servants are a little lazy."
"I know this, you said I didn't know." Xue Shun frowned, not taking this as a secret at all.
Shen Jiao was a little embarrassed and said, "Yes, Master, what you don't know is that... every time we go to get vegetables, we have to wait until there is nothing left to eat. If there is still a vegetable, we are a little... too lazy to touch it."
Xue Shun couldn't eat much either. When they felt lazy, they would go after him and the busy Wei Qian first, and would delay their own meals as much as possible. So if they arrived at an inopportune time, they wouldn't even be able to find a plate of pickles in the kitchen.
This is also why they hate Wei Qian so much because he always wants to order food. Once he orders, they have to go to great lengths to find the ingredients.
Shen Jiao felt a little guilty about this. She admitted that she was gambling, betting that Xue Shun would not suddenly ask for something to eat...
Qiongzhi said weakly, "There are still some dishes left from lunch."
Liangua: "But the servants also need to eat dinner."
"So it's all gone." Yugeer shrank his neck silently.
Xue Shun said: "I am really impressed by you guys."
Wei Qian suddenly became excited: "What did I say? What did I say? The young master just spoiled them too much. Look at how unruly they are. Unlike me, who is so worry-free, I..."
"Where did you get so many medicines?"
If he didn't yell, Xue Shun would have ignored him. But when he started talking, Xue Shun couldn't stand it any longer. He pointed at the herbs scattered around the room and asked him with a squint,
"Are these my medicines?"
Wei Qian: ...
“And some aren’t.”
"Which ones aren't?"
Wei Qian looked around and said, "Most of them are not. I estimate that 70%... I took extra from the pharmacy."
It’s not his fault. It’s free and doesn’t cost any money. Who can resist it?
