Chapter 28 Why does Shen Shilang suddenly like me so much?

"Manager Yue and the new housekeeper who will come later are not here to undermine you, but to assist you." Wei Zhaoxian said, "Madam, I trusted you so much that I left Shilang here for you to take care of, but I didn't expect that you would be the one who took the lead in mistreating him."

"But I think you will change after this time." Wei Zhaoxian said, it doesn't matter even if you don't change.

There were Manager Yue and the steward who took over later to watch over it.

He was not worried anymore.

"Madam, please don't let me down again." Wei Zhaoxian said and walked out.

Madam Wei hurriedly grabbed Wei Zhaoxian and said, "General, you... won't bring another woman back with you, will you?"

Disappointed with her, he simply brought a woman from outside in and made her the housekeeper, completely sidelining her.

Wei Zhaoxian turned around and looked at Madam Wei in disbelief. "You never do anything serious all day long, but just think about these ridiculous things that don't exist! If you think like this, it seems that I really need to bring someone in to help you share your worries."

Wei Zhaoxian didn't understand when Mrs. Wei had become so unreasonable.

Wei Zhaoxian shook off Mrs. Wei and walked out.

"General, where are you going?" Madam Wei hurriedly followed him and asked, "What do you mean by what you just said? Do you really want to bring the leader into the mansion?"

Wei Zhaoxian laughed out of anger. How could he be an outsider?

Isn't it tiring enough for him to lead troops in battle all day? "Go back to the barracks." Wei Zhaoxian said coldly, striding forward.

"Don't you want to go check on Jianming and Ruyan?" Mrs. Wei asked, "They haven't woken up yet."

"Hasn't the doctor already checked it?" Wei Zhaoxian sneered, "Shi Lang was beaten more severely and more severely, and he was able to recover on his own without the doctor's inspection. Why can't the other two be cured?"

Besides, he knew how hard he hit Wei Jianming and Wei Ruyan, and he knew that they wouldn't be hurt.

Wei Zhaoxian did not stay any longer and strode out of the house.

Wei Zhaoxian rode his horse out of the city and heard the clatter of horse hooves behind him.

"Father!" Wei Jianlang's voice came from behind.

Wei Zhaoxian stopped his horse and waited for Wei Jianlang to approach. He then asked, "Why did you follow me? Don't you have one more day off?"

"I have to go back soon." Wei Jianlang explained, "It's a rare trip back home, and I haven't had time to have a drink with Shilang yet. I have to go and have a good reunion with Shilang today."

Wei Zhaoxian nodded, "I feel relieved with you here."

"Just now in the mansion, my mother grabbed me and cried, saying that my father wanted to bring a woman from outside into the mansion to undermine her." Wei Jianlang scratched his head, "Where did she get this from. Father... where did you come from..."

Wei Zhaoxian was in the military camp all day long, so he didn't have time to keep a mistress.

Wei Zhaoxian's face tightened, and he was very angry. "Your mother is getting more and more confused!"

"I respect her, so I have never thought of letting someone else replace her position in the mansion. I just hope that this incident will make her afraid and have some scruples." Wei Zhaoxian said helplessly, "I don't know why she said that I have a concubine. Obviously, I have never had anyone else except her in these years."

"But since she is afraid of this, I won't tell her. Letting her continue to worry will make it harder for her to do something out of line." Wei Zhaoxian explained, "Just let her continue to worry like this."

Wei Jianlang shook his head helplessly, "Then I won't tell my mother either."

Moreover, after some time, no one has come to the mansion, and Madam Wei should be able to feel more at ease.

The main reason was that Wei Zhaoxian didn’t know how to punish Mrs. Wei.

Madam Wei is the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Yongning, so Wei Zhaoxian has to give face to the Yue family.

He couldn't really divorce Madam Wei, or completely sideline her. Who would be in charge of the mansion then? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Earl of Yongning's Mansion?

But if nothing is done, Madam Wei will not be afraid. Even if she stays quiet for a few days, she is afraid that she will return to her old ways soon.

Moreover, Mrs. Wei cannot be punished like Wei Jianming and Wei Ruyan.

After thinking about it, I decided to let Mrs. Wei continue to worry.

I am always worried that if I don't do well, someone else will come in and replace me.

The psychological torture of constant worry is no less severe than being beaten with a stick.

After finding out the truth, Wei Jianlang felt relieved and rode back to his mansion.

Su Jinshi woke up in a daze in the morning. Still feeling a little lazy, he stayed in bed, reached for his phone next to his pillow and opened the game.

Unexpectedly, the screen was flooded with system pop-ups right at the start.

[System: Wei Jianming is punished, experience +10,000]

[System: Wei Ruyan is punished, experience +10,000]

[System: Madam Wei receives punishment, experience +50,000]

Su Jinshi rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "How much?"

She was not mistaken! Wei Jianming and Wei Ruyan were forgotten.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Madam Wei's punishment actually gave so much experience! "Is it because it's harder to punish Madam Wei?" Su Jinshi quickly checked his current experience points. He only needed to get another 19,000 experience points to reach level 11.

When I returned, I received another system prompt.

[System: Shen Shilang’s Favorability +5]

Su Jinshi opened his mouth wide, "What a great harvest this time!"

"Why does Shen Shilang suddenly like me so much?" Su Jinshi poked Shen Shilang's cheek with a smile.

Shen Shilang trembled slightly, and heard Su Jinshi say: "What punishment did Madam Wei and the others receive?"

Shen Shilang knew that Su Jinshi would leave after he fell asleep, so he explained to Su Jinshi what happened in the morning.

As the two were talking, Shopkeeper Yue came personally with people to deliver breakfast to Shen Shilang.

Today's breakfast is obviously rich.

The white porridge is cooked to a soft, thick consistency, and is served with four side dishes.

There were also two meat buns, two boiled eggs and a steamed bun.

"Mr. Shen, my surname is Yue, my given name is Zhengyao, and I am the shopkeeper of Northwest Trading Company." Shopkeeper Yue bowed to Shen Shilang and introduced himself. "The general has called a new housekeeper from his hometown. Before the new housekeeper comes, I will take over the housekeeping duties in the mansion. If you need anything, just tell me."

"Thank you, Manager Yue." Shen Shilang said.

Shopkeeper Yue took out three ingots of silver from his pocket and placed them on the table. "Sir, this is your monthly salary."

Shen Shilang was stunned for a moment, "I have already received the monthly salary."

Manager Yue bowed and smiled, "The mansion is indeed cutting expenses to support the army, so I will calculate your monthly salary according to the cuts made by other masters in the mansion. You should take this amount this month."

Shen Shilang understood. It seemed that all the affairs in the mansion in the near future were taken over by Manager Yue.

"Thank you very much."

"This is what I should do." Shopkeeper Yue said respectfully, "If Master Shen has no other instructions, I will take my leave and not disturb Master Shen."

Shen Shilang nodded, "Thank you for your help."

Shopkeeper Yue left respectfully again.

His attitude is completely different from that of the previous Butler Zhou.
