Chapter 31 Complaint

Little sister Zheng Shan seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and she covered her mouth and looked at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa glanced at the Seventh Young Master who had a look of delight on his face, then lowered his head and smiled at his little sister, stroking her little head.

The younger sister understood immediately and started to complain: "Wang Gui's family is the worst! In the whole village, he likes to bully people the most!"

"How did I bully you? Tell me and I'll take care of it for you."

The Seventh Young Master put down the bowl and looked at Zheng Shan with a smile, who looked like she was seeking justice.

"He stole my pigweed leaves! It took me two hours to pick them, and he took them all!"

"Pig grass leaves?" The Seventh Young Master looked at Zheng Fa.

"It's used to feed the pigs in the farm." Zheng Fa lowered his eyes and said, "My family also eats it."

"..." The Seventh Young Master held the bowl and looked at the white rice in it. He seemed speechless for a moment.

"He snatched it and didn't eat it, he just threw it on the ground and stepped on it!"

The younger sister originally wanted to file a complaint, but she couldn't help getting angry when she talked about this matter, and tears welled up in her big eyes.

From her expression, it can be seen that she was more sad about the pig grass leaves being trampled than about Wang Gui stealing them.

"Really?"

The smile on the Seventh Young Master's face slowly disappeared.

"That's not all. The new cloth that someone gave to my brother and the beautiful new clothes that my mother made for me were torn to pieces by Wang Gui and his men as soon as I put them on!"

Zheng Fa looked at his little sister's old clothes, and his eyes became deep.

When he was at home, although Wang Gui was unfriendly to his family, at most he isolated him and his younger sister.

Now that he was staying in the Zhao Mansion, Wang Gui probably felt that he had taken away his position as a servant, and he felt resentful, so he acted even more unscrupulously.

"Is there anything else?" Zheng Fa asked without waiting for the Seventh Young Master to ask.

"Also, he said bad things about the Seventh Young Master and my brother!" Zheng Shan pouted and said, "He said the Seventh Young Master has a weird personality and is hard to please. He said my brother would definitely be beaten to death by the Seventh Young Master!"

Zheng Fa looked at the Seventh Young Master, whose face looked even worse, and then gave his younger sister a complicated look, who looked indignant.

This little guy is still trying to sow discord! More importantly, even Zheng Fa believed that the little sister couldn't say such a thing at her age - it could only be Wang Guizhen who said it.

In this world, words of praise are generally not full of sincerity, but insults are often full of sincerity.

The complaints about the Seventh Young Master were absolutely heartfelt...

But the Seventh Young Master also knew what kind of person he was, and even deep down, he might have thought that what Wang Gui said was right! Isn't this even more infuriating?

At the door, Wang Gui was holding a pot of freshly cooked chicken and staring at Zheng Shan blankly. His face was paler than the skinned chicken legs in the pot.

Manager Wang behind Wang Gui pulled him to the ground, not even daring to say a word of begging for mercy.

…

The Seventh Young Master looked at the father and son kneeling on the ground and pursed his lips.

He lowered his head, forced a smile at Zheng Shan and said, "Wang Gui is so bad, how do you want me to punish him?"

Zheng Shan's eyes lit up and she asked, "Listen to me?"

"As you say!"

"I..." The little guy bit his finger and struggled for a long time: "I can't think of it!"

"Then I'll give you an idea?"

"Yes! My brother said, Master Seven, you are the smartest!"

Zheng Fa: ...I didn't say that! The Seventh Young Master looked at Zheng Fa in surprise, and his expression became much brighter.

After all, kids don’t lie, right?

"My mother spanked him last time, and it seems he hasn't changed." The Seventh Young Master glanced at Wang Gui, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said, "How about spanking him again?"

"Great, great!" Zheng Shan clapped her hands, looking a little dissatisfied: "But he got worse after being beaten last time."

"Don't worry, I'll just kill him this time."

When he said this, the Seventh Young Master's expression did not change.

Wang Gui at the door could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, his face full of despair, but he kept repeating unconsciously: "Master, spare my life."

"Dead?" Younger sister Zheng Shan was also shocked: "Like my father?"

Her concept of death almost all came from her father Zheng who died young. Thinking of this, she showed a trace of entanglement on her face. She carefully pulled the sleeve of the Seventh Young Master and said, "Don't beat him to death."

"Oh?" The Seventh Young Master looked at Zheng Shan who was pleading for Wang Gui, with a smile in his eyes: "Don't you hate him the most?"

"I hate him, but... I can also forgive him!" Zheng Shan patted her chest to show that she was very magnanimous. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "My father died. My mother said that I was still young at that time and didn't even remember him."

The Seventh Young Master touched her lowered head and said nothing for a long time before nodding and saying, "Since you have forgiven him, I will spare his life."

"Thank you, Master!"

Wang Gui had tears on his face, and it was unclear whether he was crying for joy. Behind him, Manager Wang also had a look of relief at having survived a disaster.

"Thank her." The Seventh Young Master pointed at Zheng Shan.

Wang Gui and his son kept kowtowing to Zheng Shan.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

On the contrary, the younger sister Zheng Shan seemed a little scared and hid behind Zheng Fa.

The Seventh Young Master suddenly said to Steward Wang, "You are Wang Gui's father. If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. You should quit your position as Steward!"

Manager Wang shuddered but didn't dare to speak.

"Go away."

Wang Gui followed Manager Wang with a look of relief on his face, but he didn't notice the slightly desperate look on Manager Wang's face.

However, Zheng Fa guessed what Manager Wang was worried about: he had been running such a large family business for five years, so his methods were naturally not very bright. If he lost his position as manager, he might face backlash.

As for Wang Gui... Zheng Fa, who has experienced similar ups and downs in life, can only wish him that he can really bear this gap.

He glanced at the Seventh Young Master and felt that this young master probably understood his decision. It might even make Manager Wang more desperate than beating Wang Gui to death.

Maybe it was intentional.

After finishing their meal, the Seventh Young Master and Gao Yuan had to stay overnight at Steward Wang’s house—there was really no place for them in the Zheng family.

Zheng Fa escorted the two of them, and when they reached the intersection, the Seventh Young Master suddenly spoke:

"Zheng Fa, I envy you."

"Um?"

"I am a young master, and you are a farmer, but I envy you very much." The Seventh Young Master looked at the night sky: "Your mother is very worried about you. When you return home in glory, she will first check whether you are living well and taking care of yourself. Your sister is so young, but she knows how to speak well of you in front of me."

Zheng Fa nodded, unable to see the expression on the Seventh Young Master's face.

"This is something I have been asking for." The Seventh Young Master waved his hand: "Today I am doing this for them, let's go back!"

Zheng Fa watched the two people go away, then turned around and walked towards the light that was on in his mother's room.

When I walked to the door, I heard Zheng's mother scolding her younger sister Zheng Shan.

"Why don't you listen again?"

"Mom, how could I not be obedient?" Zheng Shan said with a somewhat aggrieved tone.

"Didn't I tell you not to let your brother file a complaint?"

"I didn't ask you to say that! I said it myself!"

"What if you offend the young master? Don't let your brother get involved?" Mother Zheng still seemed to think her daughter was a little too bold.

"I'm only six years old! How dare you make a fuss about it, young master?"

Zheng Fa pushed open the door, picked up the little sister who was staring with wide eyes and making a confident statement, and said with a smile: "Mom, please don't scold my little sister. The Seventh Young Master even praised her."

"That's right!" The little sister raised her head, looking very proud and proud of her good acting skills.
