Chapter 98
Shen Jiao will feel guilty for doing something bad.
Because she didn't know how much Xue Shun could tolerate her.
So when telling him the news of Mr. Li's death, Shen Jiao kept her hands in her sleeves, holding the small iron knife that Xue Shun gave her.
Fortunately, what she worried about did not happen.
Xue Shun didn't like the news very much, but he didn't dwell on it. After asking a few questions, he said, "Remember to give some money to Mr. Li's family and Doctor Cheng when you go back."
"I've made note of it, but how much should we give?"
"It's up to you," Xue Shun sighed, filling a bowl of porridge and placing it beside him. "Eat something. Do you want to go with me later, or take a nap?"
"Of course I feel at ease following you, sir." Shen Jiao quickly sat down beside him, holding the bowl of porridge and smiling at him.
Xue Shun glanced at her and said coldly, "Well, it's up to you."
He drank his porridge in silence and didn't mention it again.
Looks quite unhappy.
But Shen Jiao was sure that he was not really angry.
On the other hand, Wei Qian, with a frown on his face, looked as if he was about to bite, and grumbled, "I told you I'd go, but you wouldn't let me. Now look what's happening. The patient is dead, and it's too late to let me go. If he had just died, he might have been saved. I don't know if the doctor would have tried his best to treat him, and if he's a mediocre doctor, then he'd have died unjustly."
Shen Jiao turned a deaf ear.
Xue Shun swallowed the rice in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Talking about life and death so early in the morning, how unlucky! Eat your meal."
Wei Qian: ...
"Just eat it!" Wei Qian was also a little angry.
He picked up the bowl and drank like a cow, grabbed food like a dog, and ate frantically, clearing all the cups, plates and bowls. Shen Jiao was a little slow to let go of the bowl and was almost bitten by him, so she simply gave up the fight.
I looked at him coldly as he sat there slumped over, his eyes staring blankly at the sky, as numb as a dying man. Then I cursed him from the bottom of my heart: "Why aren't you stuffed to death? It's like you haven't eaten in several lifetimes."
Wei Qian swallowed the food rushing up his throat with difficulty and said, "It's better to die of fullness than to die of hunger."
He said hypocritically, "I'm so sorry. I ate up all your food without noticing. It seems it's too late to get more, right?"
Shen Jiao said generously, "It's okay. There's plenty to eat in the forest. It's better to save some food."
That's what I said.
Xue Shun still found a few leftover snacks for Shen Jiao: "Fill your stomach. I asked someone to prepare a pheasant for us yesterday. Take it and roast it in the woods later."
Wei Qian's words, "Only those who are hungry know ~" seemed to still echo in his mind, and Xue Shun made his efforts in vain.
An old doctor in his eighties is bound to feel wronged.
"Sir, you...ah!"
Wei Qian had a lot of grievances, so he kept them to himself. When he went out, others thought they had a good relationship.
The Sixth Young Master Xue Lang came over hypocritically and said he was happy for them.
Wei Qian wanted to punch him in the face and ask him: What are you gloating about?
However, he had no right to speak at this moment.
Xue Shun walked aside silently, and Wei Qian and Shen Jiao followed him quietly.
Xue Lang refused to let them go and asked loudly, "Where are you going, Seventeenth Brother? Are you still angry with Sixth Brother?"
Everyone's gaze flickered over here...
I have to say that Xue Lang is quite something.
Knowing that Xue Shun was most afraid of being exposed, he still had to ask him in front of many people.
Seeing Xue Shun pause, he slowly walked towards him as if strolling in the garden and continued hypocritically: "If Seventeenth Brother is angry, it is understandable. After all, it was Sixth Brother who failed to manage the servants that caused so many incidents, giving me the opportunity to provoke Eleventh Brother... Sixth Brother has been feeling uncomfortable and ashamed to see you..."
He lowered his head dejectedly, and his usual unruly demeanor was gone.
Xue Shun's stern expression seemed to soften: "Sixth Brother, are you apologizing to me?"
Xue Lang seemed to soften his attitude after hearing his words, but he immediately took action, saying with a guilty look on his face, "Sixth Brother, this is what you should do. Seventeenth Brother, please forgive me."
Xue Lang bowed with his hands clasped and his posture very humble.
He won't lose anything.
Even if Xue Shun was dissatisfied in his heart, he could just forgive him verbally and give him some face in front of others. Then he could make peace with him. If he kept pretending for a long time, he would be able to win back some goodwill.
If Xue Shun refused to forgive him and didn't even give him this little face, he would simply change his target. Even if others still felt that he had a problem with what happened before, Xue Shun would be regarded as a narrow-minded and petty person.
He never loses out.
Xue Lang's abacus was clattering.
Xue Shun knew that he had bad intentions, but what could he do? He could only say embarrassedly, "I received Sixth Brother's apology, but where is this gift of apology? Why can't I see it?"
Xue Lang raised his eyebrows and said with a hearty smile, "Seventeenth Brother, if you say so, it means you forgive Sixth Brother. Just tell me what you want, and I will personally send it to your courtyard when I get back."
It's no problem to send it to the bed.
"That's so embarrassing. Just give me the things. Why bother me, Sixth Brother? I don't need anything, I just need money. Are you willing to give me some?"
Xue Shun spoke the truth as if it were a joke.
Xue Lang was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself with disdain: [System, does he think I'm the ATM God? I'm making a wish here? He doesn't even insert the card, he just opens his mouth and asks for it. Isn't this too shameless?]
[Be more confident. He might be treating you like a toad that spits out gold coins. Even though I'm really disgusted, I can still tolerate him for a while for the sake of money.]
There was a rustling sound of flipping pages coming from the system, so loud that it felt like someone was peeing in his ears.
Even though Xue Lang felt that its words were harsh, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
The system said solemnly: [Study the reasons why the princess fell in love with the toad.]
Xue Lang suspected that it was making indirect accusations and kept silent.
However, the system was not as quiet as usual, and asked in a sly tone: [Why don’t you ask me the reason?
Forget it, you don’t have to ask, I’ll just tell you directly.
According to my analysis, there are three reasons why the princess fell in love with the toad.
First, the toad is not a real toad, he is a prince. Second, the toad is a prince, and a handsome prince. Third, the toad is a handsome prince, and maybe he can become a king.
Isn’t this interesting? 】
Xue Lang didn't find it funny and said angrily, "What exactly do you want to say? Just say it."
System: [Look at you, so anxious, so anxious. I'm just saying this casually, don't get too upset. Do you think I'm saying this to mock you? Would I say that the princess fell in love with the toad prince because he's not a toad, and you're even worse than a toad, and you're not willing to give?]
How could I say such vicious words?
Even if you have harmed someone, feel no guilt, are reluctant to spend money, and want to get something for nothing, what does this have to do with the system?
If you don't want to give it, just refuse it directly.
Would I spit on you?
Xue Lang: [You can't? ]
System: [Oh, of course not. You're so mean, you even think the worst of the system.]
Xue Lang didn't want to think too much of it, provided it didn't mutter as it wrote. What did it mean when it said this player was a stingy jerk who didn't want to spend money on someone else and still wanted to get them into bed? He was truly mentally unstable.
Xue Lang was just thinking about it. Is it illegal to think about it?
