However, Ruan Tang was obviously distracted and did not care about the young male servant's inappropriate behavior.
He picked up the milk, took a sip, and sighed.
Austin obviously noticed that he was in a bad mood, looked at him thoughtfully, and asked, "Madam, are you in a bad mood?"
"Nothing." Ruan Tang had no way to tell a servant about the dispute between herself and Austin, so she just shook her head slightly.
He raised his head and looked at the young man, intending to ask him to leave, but was surprised to find that the scars on the young man's face had not subsided at all, and were still oozing out a transparent liquid similar to tissue mucus.
Ruan Tang immediately exclaimed: "What's wrong with your face?"
Logically speaking, the young man's face should have healed long ago. How come such a long time has passed, it still looks like a fresh wound?
Austin's eyes darkened slightly, but he answered truthfully: "... Madam, my face was corroded by Zerg venom, and I didn't receive timely treatment. Instead, I was given a genetic drug that increased the toxicity of the venom. Unless you dig out half of the flesh on my face, my face will never heal..."
This is a gift from his good father that he will remember for the rest of his life.
Even if it could be cured, he no longer wanted to have it treated. He wanted to keep it so that he would remember it for the rest of his life.
"How could that be?" Ruan Tang was surprised.
I never imagined that there would be such a cruel way of disfigurement in the world, first using Zerg venom to corrode the human face, and then using genetic drugs to make the wound never heal. This is simply a criminal law.
And in this mansion, Ruan Tang hardly thought about the person who would treat a male servant so cruelly and use such brutal torture methods.
Thinking of this, and looking at the male servant in front of him, Ruan Tang unconsciously felt a little guilty, and said in a deep voice: "Bring my medicine box over, I will apply some medicine to you, although it may not be useful, but I think your face should feel better..."
It's true that Auston was very good to him, but it's also true that he was very perverted and cruel to others.
He didn't know how he should change Auston. As a partner, he just wanted to do his best to make up for those innocent people he hurt.
After applying the medicine previously, Austin was already very familiar with the procedure and was much more fluent in it when he took out the medicine box from Ruan Tang's things and handed it to him.
He handed the medical kit to Ruan Tang, who immediately asked him to sit down and carefully cleaned the sores on his face with a disinfectant cotton pad. With the experience from last time, Ruan Tang's movements were much gentler and more careful. Even though the young man's face was covered with blood, he was careful not to let the young man feel any pain...
Austin stared at Ruan Tang's eyes, which were so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off them. Even though he knew that applying the medicine would be of no use to him, he still sat down willingly and let him play with her as if he was playing house.
He didn't know why, but when Ruan Tang looked at him so carefully, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace and tranquility in his heart...
I just want time to stop at this moment forever without knowing why.
"You can't do this. Even if there is really no other way, you should still go to the hospital..." Ruan Tang looked at the hideous scar on his face with worry, and her movements were extremely gentle: "I know some good doctors. I will transfer some money to you later. No matter if it will work or not, you should still go see a doctor."
The young man in front of him was different from the butler and other male servants who were monitoring Auston, as well as those who had offended Auston and wanted to use him.
In Ruan Tang's eyes, he was just a big fool who was clumsy and had no scheming, but he was injured like this for no reason because of Auston's distortion.
Ruan Tang really couldn't bear it and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Auston didn't expect him to say that and looked at him in surprise.
Ruan Tang looked at his innocent face and sighed, "...No matter how good your relationship with the housekeeper is, and how much the housekeeper takes care of you, I think you should leave the Duke's Mansion and find another job. This place is not suitable for you. The salary here is indeed high, but no matter how much money you have, you have to live to spend it."
Ruan Tang had met almost all the male servants here.
Except for the big fool in front of him, all the others are shrewd people with their own motives. Austin's mental condition is unstable. Ruan Tang really doesn't want to see the young man in front of him continue to stay in this place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
Auston lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.
"I'm telling you this sincerely for your own good. If you're having financial difficulties and can't bear to give up this salary, I can introduce you to another job with my friend. The salary may not be higher than your current one, but it will definitely be more stable than now, so you don't have to worry..." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ruan Tang thought that he was reluctant to give up the salary at the Duke's Mansion, and immediately took the initiative to propose a solution to the young man.
He made this suggestion for both the youth and Auston.
He really couldn't bear to watch Auston hurt completely innocent people. He couldn't feel at ease when Auston was so kind to him.
Auston's eyes darkened when he heard this. He did not respond to his words, but suddenly asked: "...Madam, are you so kind and caring to everyone?"
He was very curious about this question.
Although Ruan Tang spoke in a very harsh and decisive tone when he was honest with him last time, making people feel that he was a cold person, he still felt that this omega was a soft and kind little white lotus in his bones...
Whether she was treating a madman like herself or a stranger servant, she could always be kind and gentle to the extreme.
It seems destined that he and I will never be on the same path.
"Why do you ask?" Ruan Tang didn't expect him to ask this and was stunned.
Auston looked at him deeply: "Because I think Madam is too kind to be a noble."
As a nobleman in this circle, Austin is very aware of the stench in this circle. Compared with these people, Ruan Tang's kindness and softness seem to be incompatible with the entire circle.
"...I'm actually not as good as you think." Ruan Tang sighed silently: "I just do my best in the things that I can do at the moment."
He never thought of himself as a truly compassionate good man or saint. It was just that what was happening before his eyes was within his power and he had no choice but to take care of it. This was his bottom line as a human being.
But he is also a human being, he also has fears, scruples, and fear of death, so he chooses not to do anything for what is right, but to turn a blind eye to it...
And at this moment, the reason why he wanted to try so hard to help the young man in front of him was not because he was kind and merciful.
It was because he felt that the young man in front of him was injured by his husband, and he wanted to atone for Auston and reduce some of his sins...
He was not as great as Seth thought. He was despicable and did not deserve the young man's praise.
"Madam, you are too modest." Auston raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are so noble, yet you can consider a humble person like me so carefully without asking for anything in return. What else can you say but kindness?"
Ruan Tang smiled bitterly: "I'm helping you, not without asking for anything in return."
He admitted his own meanness...
"Oh? Madam, what do you want me to do in return? Just tell me, and I will go through fire and water for you."
Ruan Tang looked at him deeply, but spoke each word with great seriousness, "...I hope you can stop hating the Duke."
He knew that Austin's actions were too hateful. From servants to dignitaries, there were countless people in the entire imperial star who hated him and wanted him dead.
But as a partner, Ruan Tang still hopes that she can help Auston reduce some of the hatred others have for him, just a little bit...
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated.
He really didn't want to see Austin being killed one day because he humiliated others too much.
"Don't hold a grudge against the Duke?" Austin was stunned for a moment as he had not expected to hear such words from Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang thought he was in a difficult situation, so she said, "...I know this request may be difficult for you, but just think of it as me being shameless. I still hope you can give me some face and not bear a grudge against him..."
"Madam, what you said is true. The Duke is so noble and his status is much different from mine. Not to mention that he has never done anything to me, even if he really did something to me, how could I hate him?" Austin said calmly.
Ruan Tang looked at him deeply, but she couldn't believe that the young man's face was first corroded by the Zerg venom and then aggravated by the genetic medicine, which had nothing to do with Austin. She also couldn't believe that after such a thing happened, the young man would have no resentment towards Austin.
But the young man didn't want to talk and kept his mouth shut, so Ruan Tang didn't dare to press him.
When Auston saw that he didn't speak, his eyes darkened and he took the initiative to break the silence: "Madam, the reason why you ask me this is because you think the Duke is perverse and cruel, and his twisted temperament should be hated by others?"
He really wanted to know that.
Every time he wanted to attack or kill someone, Ruan Tang would react strongly.
In the eyes of a kind-hearted person like him who has a bottom line, someone like me who is moody and wants to kill people at any time should be very annoying, right?
Ruan Tang looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect him to dare to ask such a question: "You are really brave. Is this the question you should ask?"
If he hadn't taken a long leave of absence, looking at the outspokenness of this young man, Ruan Tang would really think it was a miracle that he was still alive.
"I'm just asking casually." Auston smiled, his eyes curved, and his bright smile made him look particularly harmless and innocent: "I believe that Madam is so kind that she will definitely not blame me. I only dare to say this in front of Madam."
"I... don't think so." Ruan Tang closed his eyes and carefully recalled the relationship between him and Austin: "The Duke was a little cruel to you - to others, but he was really good to me."
Although Austin was cruel and brutal to others, he was actually very kind to Ruan Tang, and Ruan Tang couldn't help but be touched.
In front of this young man who might be hurt by Auston and become permanently disabled, he had to admit his own meanness... He was greedy for Auston's kindness to him, and even though he knew that everyone in the Imperial Star was afraid of him, he didn't want anything to happen to him and didn't want to lose him.
Aston seemed not to have expected such an answer from him. He looked at him deeply and did not speak for a long time.
…
After the young male servant left, Ruan Tang tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He felt particularly upset when he thought about how after Austin came home, he never spoke to him again. Not only did he not smoke him, he didn't even ask him to tell him a bedtime story.
After thinking it over, he finally jumped out of bed, picked up a paper copy of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" he bought, and knocked on Auston's door again late at night.
Aston knew it was him, and immediately put on a mask, used an instrument to slightly adjust his hair color, and took off the voice changer he wore when he disguised himself as a servant. He cleared his throat and said to Ruan Tang, "Come in."
"Sir..." Ruan Tang nodded to him.
Auston glanced at him and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
"It's getting late. Of course I'm here to tell the adults a bedtime story..." Ruan Tang walked over gently and raised the book in her hand that she had bought specially for Austin.
Auston raised his eyebrows, wondering if it was true.
Ruan Tang walked up to him, placed the book on the bedside table, and looked at Auston quietly. She said she was here to tell a story but she had no intention of turning a page in the book.
Auston immediately looked at him with dissatisfaction and said arrogantly: "Didn't you say you were here to tell a story? Why aren't you telling it?"
He hasn't forgiven the omega yet.
"I have something to say to the Lord."
Auston looked very impatient: "What?"
"In fact, the reason I stopped you from killing Wen Run today is not because I care about him and don't want you to kill him." Ruan Tang said, "but because I'm afraid that if you kill him, you'll bring yourself unnecessary trouble. After all, he has the support of the Kalande family and the focus of training as a researcher..."
After thinking about it, he felt that Auston's sudden temper was due to this matter, and he felt that he needed to make things clear with Auston.
Auston waved his hand immediately: "If you don't care about him, then you don't care about him. Why are you telling me this?"
He didn't have any extra expression, and his voice was arrogant, but Ruan Tang inexplicably felt that he was in a good mood...
"Nothing, I just wanted to say it, so I said it." Ruan Tang looked at his expression and felt that she must have guessed right, but he was stubborn and refused to admit it. She complained in her heart, but still said that she took the blame.
Auston was obviously in a good mood, but he still urged awkwardly: "Are you going to waste my time listening to stories for something as boring as this? Aren't you here to tell stories? Tell me faster, I'm waiting to hear it!"
There was no smoke of war between the two men, and the war unilaterally provoked by Austin was declared a ceasefire.
Ruan Tang looked at the alpha in front of her who was particularly easily satisfied, and the corners of her mouth curved up slightly. She felt more and more like the princess in "One Thousand and One Nights" who told stories to the tyrant every night.
And he also had an inexplicable confidence that he would be able to change Austin just like the princess in the story influenced the king.
Late at night, Austin once again woke up his aide Vincent unreasonably. Vincent yawned and looked extremely depressed: "...Sir, has something happened again?"
"Vincent, the method you mentioned last time doesn't work. I don't think he likes those expensive luxury goods. I've seen him wear them several times... Your statement is not reliable. Besides luxury goods, what other things do omegas usually like and would be happier to see?" Austin was very energetic and his eyes were bright.
Vincent, who was forced to change from Austin's career assistant to his love assistant, was so sleepy that he almost wanted to get up from bed, and cursed a thousand times in his heart.
He managed to maintain his calm and gentle appearance, and put on a professional fake smile: "I don't like luxury goods. It seems that the lady is a unique omega."
"That's right, that's right, he is different from others, completely different..." Auston agreed deeply and felt that what Vincent said made sense.
Isn't his omega different from those slutty bitches out there?
It's normal not to like the vulgar things they like.
"…Since the madam doesn't like luxury goods, and I heard that he is a very kind person. I believe he will like small animals very much. A normal omega doesn't like luxury goods, and will definitely be unable to walk with small animals." Vincent gritted his teeth and showed his dedication to his job to the end.
Auston was not satisfied with his last wrong judgment and immediately asked, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, absolutely sure." Vincent said with certainty.
Auston immediately became thoughtful and thought that it was time to take out his cute pets to entertain Ruan Tang. He believed that Ruan Tang would like them.
Unfortunately, Austin's plan did not come true. After Ruan Tang finished breakfast the next morning, his personal communication rang.
Ruan Tang was quite surprised that someone would call him. The voice on the other end came from a colleague who used to be quite nice to him: "Ruan Tang, it's bad. You're on the hot search on Star Internet. You and Ruan Xi... are on the hot search now? The whole Star Internet is scolding you!"
Ruan Tang was stunned: "..."
I don’t know how a person like me, whose profession has nothing to do with popularity and is currently unemployed, could be associated with something like trending searches.
Ruan Tang inexplicably opened her personal terminal and logged into the Interstellar Space Plaza, only to find that she was indeed on the hot search list and was currently trending.
The hot search titles were #Ruan Tang plagiarized##Ruan Tang stole Dr. Ruan Xi’s research results#, and they appeared twice in a row.
The cause of the incident was that a researcher working in a research institute posted a message in the anonymous area, claiming that he worked in the research institute, but his research results were stolen by his half-brother. Now because his brother married an alpha who was in a high position, he suppressed the matter. Everyone around him advised him to be patient, but he had no place to complain, so he could only endure the reality that his hard work was stolen...
Not only that, what was even more outrageous was that this half-brother conspired with her husband to frame him at a banquet, falsely accusing him of seducing Goff. Goff, who was in a high position at the time, even laid hands on him, ruining his reputation.
Now his career and reputation have both failed, he almost wants to commit suicide and simply doesn't want to live anymore.
