Over time, Han Youwei also developed a disdain for Shi Hongyi, spoke more forcefully, and even glared at Shi Hongyi if he was not satisfied with the benefits Shi Hongyi offered, thinking that he was nothing more than a sycophant with no dignity whatsoever.
But this time, they actually asked me to come into the hall to see them?
When we get back, we must tell Miss that he absolutely must be treated properly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Hongyi couldn't sit still any longer: "What? Xuanxuan really went to Lingbao Pavilion? Okay, I'll go right now..."
Seeing that this sycophant was about to hand over the money, Du Wushuang's face turned frosty, but he didn't say much. After all, 50,000 spirit stones was nothing to the Shi family, and his own spirit mine produced more than that amount in a day.
But Shen Zhao stopped Shi Hongyi in time and said to Han Youwei: "You unruly thing, don't you even know where you are!"
"The young master and his wife are both here, yet you dare to be so arrogant and domineering! Is this how your Han family educates its servants?"
Upon hearing this, Han Youwei was dumbfounded, Du Wuyan's eyes lit up, and only Shi Hongyi panicked.
Shen Zhao stood up, pointed at Han Youwei and said, "You, a mere servant of the Han family, not only lack manners, but you also openly instigated the young master to pay money to your daughter."
I'd like to ask, what is the relationship between the Han family and the Shi family? Why is Han Xuanxuan asking our young master for money to buy a magical artifact? How dare the Han family be so shameless?
Du Wushuang felt a surge of satisfaction and looked at Shen Zhao with more appreciation in her eyes. At the same time, she was glad that her son had such a reliable friend.
Han Youwei was speechless for a long time, then mustered his courage and looked at Shi Hongyi: "Young Master Shi, are you just going to stand by and watch my young lady be embarrassed in Lingbao Pavilion?"
"Insolence!" Shi Hongyi was about to speak when Shen Zhao interrupted him, "You blind fool! Why doesn't your young lady come herself when she wants to ask the young master for money? What's the meaning of sending a servant like you?"
What? Asking for money with such audacity? I've never seen such a shameless person before!
After saying that, he immediately turned to Du Wushuang and said, "Madam Shi, these people are utterly rude and ill-mannered. As the number one family in Yunzhou, the Shi family should teach these servants a lesson on behalf of the Han family, so that they know who is in charge in Yunzhou right now."
"good!"
Du Wushuang immediately stood up.
"Guards, drag this disrespectful servant of the Han family out, give him forty lashes, and throw him out of the mansion!"
Upon hearing this, Han Youwei was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground: "Madam Shi, please spare my life! I know I was wrong. I was only acting on behalf of my young lady. Please forgive me this time, Madam Shi, for the sake of my young lady and the young master's mutual affection."
Shi Hongyi hurriedly said, "Mother, this..."
"This kind of thing must not be tolerated!"
Shen Zhao spoke first.
“Young Master Shi, as the young master of the Shi family, you wouldn’t humiliate the Shi family like this, would you? He’s just a servant who’s bullying his master. There’s no need to care about him. He’s been hit, so he’s been hit. I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens.”
Then, waving his hand, he took the initiative: "Hey, where are the Shi family members? Aren't you listening to your young master and mistress? Drag them out and beat them!"
The servants of the Shi family had long been disgusted by the Han family's arrogance, relying on their young master's feelings for Han Xuanxuan. Hearing that they could use this opportunity to deal with the Han family, they dragged him out without saying a word.
Soon, Han Youwei's pig-like screams and the sound of a board hitting his buttocks could be heard from outside the hall.
Shi Hongyi was pacing anxiously, afraid that this would make Han Xuanxuan dislike him even more.
He dared not vent his anger on his mother, so he turned his anger on Shen Zhao: "Shen Zhao, I considered you a friend of mine, why did you do this to me? Do you know that if you do this, Xuanxuan will never talk to me again?"
"May I ask, Young Master Shi, how have you treated Han Xuanxuan and her family over the past three years?"
"I……"
"You give them money and treasures, and you smooth things over for them whenever they have a problem. You've done everything you could to be considered kind and righteous. But why does the Han family's daughter still look down on you? Have you ever thought about why?"
"This... I'd like to hear the details..."
"Because you're not like a man."
"Brother Shen, what you said went too far."
"Young Master Shi, don't be hasty. Think about it carefully. Isn't that the case? The better you treat her, the more she dislikes you. What does that mean? It means you're using the wrong methods."
"What's wrong with it?"
"For example, today, you knew she was going to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to buy spiritual artifacts, so you gave her 50,000 spirit stones, but what you did seriously hurt her self-esteem."
The girl has already said she's capable; doing this will only make her think she's a useless pretty face.
Upon hearing this, Shi Hongyi thought about it carefully for a long time, and then revealed a look of sudden realization: "I see, I understand now, thank you for your guidance, Brother Shen."
Du Wushuang kept her eyes fixed on Shen Zhao, a hint of admiration in her gaze.
