But she had just left not long ago.

Li Xiuzhu looked at Du Sanniang like this, smiled helplessly and said, "Sanniang, I really just want a maid, so is it possible that you are overthinking?"

"snort!"

Li Xiuzhu waved his hands helplessly after hearing this.

"If you want to be the butler, then remember to hand over the housekeeper's duties."

"Well, let's give it to Fang Xiaoxiao. The others who can manage the household are all masters, and it's not convenient."

Du Sanniang's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Master, do you really want me to serve you personally?"

"Well, hey~ You're calling me old. I'm not even older than you, okay?" Li Xiuzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Hehe, there is nothing we can do about it. Master, you are the head of the family."

Seeing a smile in Du Sanniang's slightly red and swollen eyes, I couldn't help but sigh that women are so fickle.

Another quarter of an hour later, two soldiers brought Fang Siming to the front hall.

The two men loosened their grip and Fang Siming slipped and fell to the ground.

At this time, Fang Siming had long lost his previous energy and spirit, like a broken doll.

Li Xiuzhu waved his hand and the two guards left immediately.

Li Xiuzhu glanced at Fang Siming and saw that he was not drooling or acting crazy, so he immediately understood.

It seemed that he had only suffered a temporary blow and his morale was low, but he still held on.

There may be some psychological trauma in the future, but it’s not a big problem.

Li Xiuzhu took another sip of tea, and when the cup was half full, Du Sanniang hurriedly brought over the teapot and filled it up for Li Xiuzhu.

After taking a look at Du Sanniang, Li Xiuzhu smiled with satisfaction and then patted his shoulder.

The next second Du Sanniang came to her senses, stood behind Li Xiuzhu, and gently massaged Li Xiuzhu's shoulders.

"Master, how's the strength?"

Although Li Xiuzhu practiced martial arts and cultivated yin and yang, he focused on internal cultivation, so his muscles were still very flexible.

"You can be a little gentler. I have never practiced external martial arts, so I can't withstand your strong force."

Du Sanniang blushed when she heard this, and then her movements became gentler. However, she didn't expect that Li Xiuzhu had never practiced any external martial arts.

However, when kneading the muscles in his hands, it seemed to be true. Although they were more flexible than those of Li Xiuzhu's concubines, they were not as hard as a coolie.

At the same time, Fang Jingyao was at home looking after his daughter and talking to her.

Not only his daughter, but also his wife was there.

"Xiaoxiao, father asks you for a favor."

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't understand, but she quickly knelt down and said nervously: "Xiaoxiao, if there is anything I can do for you, just tell me."

"Well, I want you to go to the Duke's Mansion to serve Duke Anyang. Dress up and come with me."

At this moment, his wife and Fang Xiaoxiao were both stunned.

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to speak, but his wife did.

Hearing this, he frowned and asked, "Master, what happened? This is..."

Suddenly she thought of something and her face changed.

"Could it be Siming?"

Fang Jingyao sighed with a sad face and said, "It's all your fault. A loving mother often spoils her son. This time he got into trouble."

"It's not too much to exterminate three clans if you tease the princess."

"I had no choice but to give Xiao Xiao to Li Xiuzhu."

"Only in this way will he let our family go and let Siming go."

At this moment, the two were stunned. They didn't expect Fang Siming to be bold enough to tease the princess.

But at the end, Fang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little sad.

However, Fang Xiaoxiao's silence made Fang Jingyao's face darken.

Fang Xiaoxiao calmly said, "No, father, I do."

"Xiaoxiao will go back to the room and change clothes now."

It’s hard to say whether another lady would be willing, but she really is willing.

Her parents favored boys over girls and would punish her if she made any mistake.

To be honest, it's just a matter of living cautiously in a different place.

At most, you will lose your innocence again.

But she was very open-minded, because even if she stayed at home, she would definitely be sold by her father for a good price in the future and live with the person chosen by her father.

To be honest, there is no difference.

…

Half an hour later, Fang Jingyao was brought here again. Beside him was a maid from the Duke's Mansion and a young girl.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The girl was about sixteen years old, looked weak and a little shy.

But she kept secretly looking at Li Xiuzhu from time to time.

"My Lord, I have brought my daughter with me."

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Siming from time to time.

Seeing that his son was still alive and had no scars on his face, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Fang Siming heard Fang Jingyao's voice and seemed to be called back to life. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

Then Fang Siming's eyes became focused.

"Father, Father, save me."

The terrified cry carried hope for the future. While shouting, Fang Siming wanted to crawl towards Fang Jingyao.

But as soon as he moved, a heart-wrenching pain came from behind.

With a "hiss" sound of gasping, Fang Siming exerted too much force and his legs and feet did not move much.

Having lost his balance, he instinctively covered his butt and fell to the ground.

"Bang~"

At this moment, Fang Jingyao's heart skipped a beat.

What on earth had his son gone through to make him scream so miserably? Looking at the circles of marks on his wrists left by the fall, and seeing his son still covering his butt, he finally understood.

If it was lost, the son would certainly be beaten with a stick or caned.

Although Li Xiuzhu was setting up a private court, he did not dare to raise any objection.

Compared with the execution of the entire family, spanking was such a light punishment.

Holding back the pain in his heart, Fang Jingyao said, "My Lord, this is my daughter Fang Xiaoxiao. If you are satisfied, can we leave?"

Li Xiuzhu had just seen Fang Xiaoxiao and she was indeed pretty.

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "Well, Master Fang Siming, take him back. Discipline him well in the future and don't let him have any more wild ideas."

"Not everyone is like me, willing to give him a chance."

Fang Jingyao nodded quickly and saluted.

"The Duke is right. When I return, I will definitely discipline my son and prevent him from making mistakes again."

Li Xiuzhu waved his hand, and Fang Jingyao hurriedly helped his son up from the ground and walked out the door.

Fang Siming also didn't dare to say anything except at the beginning. He was really afraid of Li Xiuzhu now.

In his mind, the devil is nothing more than this.

Li Xiuzhu then looked at Fang Xiaoxiao who was still peeping at him, smiled and said, "From now on, you will be the housekeeper of the family..."

Fang Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard this and she let out a soft cry subconsciously.

"Ah??? I can't!"
