Chapter 9: This excuse, do you really think I am a fool?
Therefore, he lived a life worse than the servants in the mansion.
He was once the son of the Prime Minister and a beloved son of the family.
Day and night, year after year, he was always alone in the Wei Mansion, walking alone.
There was no one to keep me company, not even someone to chat with.
Although they just started playing this game yesterday, Shen Shilang's reaction was so realistic that it didn't seem like a character in the game at all.
Instead, it seemed as if she and Shen Shilang were having a conversation on the phone across time and space.
If one day she quits the game, I wonder what Shen Shilang will do.
Su Jinshi shook her head. When she thought of this, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
She didn't dare to think about quitting the game.
But at least for now and for a long time, she will not quit the game.
"By the way, why is there no servant in your yard?" Su Jinshi suddenly remembered that no one noticed since he was injured yesterday and had a fever.
If there was a servant in the courtyard, Shen Shilang would not have been injured so badly without treatment.
Even today's breakfast was delivered by a servant who then left and never appeared again.
Shen Shilang smiled, "They have no future with me. I don't have any money to reward them. They found out that they are from my courtyard and will be bullied outside, so they asked people to find connections and went to other courtyards."
"There's no one in your yard, so Madam Wei doesn't care? She should at least put on a show." Su Jinshi said angrily, "Wei Zhaoxian just comes back less often, not never. Isn't she afraid that Wei Zhaoxian will find out?"
Su Jinshi knew that men in ancient times would not care about matters in the backyard and would leave them to the mistress to handle. They might not even know if someone died in the backyard.
It is truly a case of the man working outside and the woman working inside.
But Wei Zhaoxian at least cares about Shen Shilang. Even if he ignores other things in the backyard, he will still care about Shen Shilang's affairs.
"Of course we have to put on a show. Someone should be here soon." As soon as Shen Shilang finished speaking, Su Jinshi heard a voice coming from outside the yard.
"Be smart these two days!" Butler Zhou's voice sounded, "Don't let the general see you all look unhappy. You're only here for two days, and you can still go back after two days. There's no need to look so unhappy."
"Yes." Everyone in the courtyard said in unison.
Hearing that there were quite a few people there, Su Jinshi turned the scene to outside the yard.
Just as Butler Zhou and four servants entered the courtyard, a brown shadow suddenly jumped out.
"Woof! Woof!"
It turned out to be the wolfhound that Su Jinshi had caught in the morning. It was now blocking Housekeeper Zhou and others outside the courtyard gate, baring its teeth at the people outside and making a "woooo" sound to warn them.
Everyone was so frightened by the wolfhound that they dared not come in for a while. Butler Zhou was furious, "Where did this wild dog come from!"
Butler Zhou didn't dare to step forward and could only shout, "You! Go find a stick and beat this wild dog to death!"
"Butler Zhou." Shen Shilang came out of the yard and looked at Butler Zhou coldly.
Shen Shilang glanced at the wolfhound. After breakfast in the morning, he went to the door to greet Wei Zhaoxian and didn't pay any attention to the dog.
When he came back, he was injured and didn't notice that the wolfhound was still in the yard.
Shen Shilang tried to wave at the wolfhound, "Come here."
I don't know if the dog will listen to him.
But he didn't expect that the dog would actually come towards him, wagging its tail.
Shen Shilang touched the dog's head, raised his head and looked coldly at Butler Zhou, "I raised this dog, do you want to kill my dog?"
Butler Zhou was stunned for a moment. When Shen Shilang looked at him coldly, he actually felt a little scared.
It was just like when he was facing General Wei, when General Wei got angry, he wanted to kneel down.
But Shen Shilang was clearly a poor little creature living in the mansion, and his life was not much better than that of the servants.
Butler Zhou came back to his senses and suppressed the fear in his heart. When he looked at Shen Shilang again, he found that Shen Shilang had returned to his usual gentle self who never argued with anyone.
Butler Zhou couldn't help but wonder in his heart, was it just an illusion?
Butler Zhou swallowed his doubts and put on a smiling face to face Shen Shilang. No matter what, Shen Shilang was nominally half the master of the Wei Mansion.
Butler Zhou would never give anyone else any evidence of his own wrongdoing.
"Mr. Shen, when did you start raising a dog?" asked Butler Zhou.
"There's no one in my yard. It's lonely living alone, so I got a dog to keep me company." Shen Shilang touched the dog's head. "It's just too loyal. It doesn't mean any harm."
Butler Zhou: “…”
He had little education and always felt that Shen Shilang's words were an insult. He wondered if he understood it correctly.
Shen Shilang glanced at Butler Zhou and the four servants behind him, "What does Butler Zhou mean by this?"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Steward Zhou said with a fake smile: "Mr. Shen, I heard that the servants here before did not serve you well, so I have replaced them for you."
Su Jinshi sneered. Butler Zhou really found a good excuse.
The previous person didn't serve us well, so he was sent away.
But because I couldn't find the right person, it was delayed for a long time.
After Wei Zhaoxian left, these people returned to their original masters.
The excuse is that these people didn't serve well enough.
When Wei Zhaoxian comes back next time, we will arrange for someone else to come.
This excuse, do you really think people are fools? You really don't care about your face! Shen Shilang said lightly: "Thank you, housekeeper Zhou."
"Mr. Shen, you are too polite. This is my job." Butler Zhou still smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, if you need anything else, just tell me. If these servants don't do a good job, I will replace them with new ones."
"It's already very good." Shen Shilang smiled faintly.
"Then I will not disturb Master Shen any more." After Butler Zhou said this, he looked at the wolfhound squatting beside Shen Shilang. He was still a little scared, so he did not enter the yard and hurried away.
Four servants were left standing at the door and dared not go in.
They still remembered that the dog had just blocked the door and was about to bite them.
Shen Shilang patted the dog's head and said to it, "Don't pay attention to them."
The dog actually understood. It whined twice and rubbed against Shen Shilang's calf, ignoring the people outside the yard. Shen Shilang then took the dog back into the house.
The four servants then dared to enter the courtyard, but they had no intention of serving Shen Shilang and went to their own rooms to rest.
After entering the house, Shen Shilang looked at the dog helplessly, "I didn't find you still here when I came back."
The dog squatted in front of Shen Shilang and kept wagging its tail.
"Does it think you are its master?" Su Jinshi asked in surprise. This dog recognized its master so quickly.
Shen Shilang sighed and said, "You brought it this morning."
"But look at its eyes, they're staring at you. Do you want to chase it away?" Su Jinshi said softly, "Do you want to be so cruel?"
"It was just guarding your house." Su Jinshi said again.
