The next morning, the dark circles under Su Shien's eyes finally disappeared, but her complexion was obviously uglier than yesterday.
Tiezhu fell a few steps behind and secretly ran to confess to his master.
"Master, is the young master angry with me?"
Han Zeyu looked at Tiezhu and thought to himself that he had really grown up and had learned to reflect on himself.
"Why is he angry? If he was angry with you, he would have died of anger before he met me."
Tiezhu smiled awkwardly. He was young at that time and had not been trained by his master, so his killing power was limited.
"Master, I have my own considerations on this matter."
"It's good to have your own ideas. Life is long, and you can't rely on others to make decisions for you."
Han Zeyu said with great interest, "Tell me about your plan and let me appreciate it."
People are good at changing their expressions. He just said he would let it go, but after just two words, he changed his mind again. Sure enough, his gossip got the better of him.
Tiezhu hesitated for a moment, but thinking that time was running out, he gritted his teeth and told them his rough thoughts.
"Master, this is what I think. There are many people in the Tie Mansion and many people have eyes. What if someone thinks that I look like General Tie? Then I will be exposed. Even though he is not as tall as me, not as white as me, not as young as me, and not as handsome as me..."
Han Zeyu quickly stopped Tiezhu from boasting and said directly, "Speak some useful farts."
"Hehe~ I'm just afraid that they'll mistake me for General Tie's illegitimate child and retaliate against me. How unfair it would be!"
Han Zeyu sank his energy into his dantian and shouted three words in a loud voice: "Get out of here!"
He was really crazy, actually imagining that Tiezhu could come to his senses.
Bah! It was all Su Shien's fault for misleading him.
Tiezhu, who was scolded and ran away, felt aggrieved. In this day and age, it is wrong to tell the truth. Honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears but is beneficial to action. His master is too ignorant.
Their young master is a seventh-rank official, and he has just been promoted to the eighth rank.
She is the wife of a third-rank general, and her family is from the Wuxing Earl's Mansion. If they really treat him as an illegitimate child and launch revenge, they will probably find it difficult to withstand it.
What if the salary is cut, the food is withheld, and the customer base is cut off...
He and the young master can only rely on their master for support, and no one is staying in the master's inn. It is so sad to hear about it and it makes people cry to see it. Just thinking about it makes people feel extremely heartbroken.
At noon that day, Tiezhu was very careful and cherished his meal.
He would get distracted and dazed from time to time, and didn't even notice that Ding Junjie had stolen two pieces of chicken from him.
After finally getting out of the yamen, Tiezhu waited at the door and started apologizing to Su Shien as soon as he saw her.
This action stunned Su Shien. What was going on?
Tiezhu talked a lot, and Su Shien finally understood.
He really had hallucinations yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have praised Tiezhu for his intelligence in such a good conscience.
"Master, do you still need me to go with you to visit General Tie? Can we meet outside? I'm afraid he..."
Su Shien made the final decision: "Don't be afraid, Tiezhu. We won't need you this time."
Tie Zhu was stunned when he heard this and said, "Then, who do we need?"
Su Shien said as a matter of course: "Your younger brother Han Zeli is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He is good quality and cheap, and he is more useful than you."
It was over. Tiezhu's sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in. He had fallen out of favor.
It is true that teaching a disciple will starve the master. Once younger and cheaper labor comes on the scene, he will have no place to use his skills.
I really want to slap myself to death for last month. Why was I so rude?
He had to beg his master to bring his competitor to the capital. Now that he regretted it, could he send Han Zeli back?
Obviously, it is impossible. Han Zeli has just accepted the task and has already started practicing at home.
The two officials returned home, but faced with the highest authority in the family, they dared not speak out.
The next day, Su Shien had a day off, but he got up very early because he had to visit the general's mansion and prepare some gifts.
Tiezhu was filled with envy and hatred and made a resounding statement: "Is this my own cleverness backfiring on me?"
Su Shien was shocked. "Where did this illusion come from? Who said you were smart?"
Tiezhu turned away angrily. The young master was not a good person. He had just said that he was smart the day before yesterday, but now that he saw the situation was not good, he started to regret it.
Where is propriety? Where is integrity? Where is the code of conduct? Where is the deep bond between master and servant?
Su Shien didn't feel Tiezhu's resentment at all. He had dinner with Han Zeli and didn't forget to recite his lines.
"The General's Mansion is just a little big. Don't be nervous. General Tie is a good man."
Han Zeli didn't understand either. Wasn't he going to see Grandpa Zhong? Why did he keep talking about General Tie?
The child still has limited experience, and he cannot understand the twists and turns between adults.
Uncle Zhong was picking vegetables in the yard. It had been a while since he had seen Tiezhu. Why not send him some vegetables? That would be a good opportunity for them to meet and chat for a while.
It is not convenient for General Tie to show up, but he can, as long as he doesn't go too often.
He was a non-staff member of the general's mansion and no one paid much attention to him.
But ever since Tie Yunqing wanted to adopt his youngest son to the eldest son's family and was repeatedly rejected, some people began to deliberately contact Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong knew everything clearly in his mind. He just wanted him to help speak a few good words and persuade General Tie to give in.
Another reason was to test him to see if he knew the whereabouts of the child.
It was originally a good thing, but now he has to be sneaky whenever he wants to see Tiezhu.
A servant came to report that someone was looking for him outside the door, and it was the editor from the Hanlin Academy.
Uncle Zhong was surprised. Why did Su Shien come to visit? Could something have happened with Tiezhu?
Uncle Zhong didn't wait in the yard, but wanted to take the initiative to go out and greet them.
After walking a few steps, he saw General Tie and Su Shien walking in, talking and laughing.
What shocked him even more was Han Zeli who was following behind Su Shien.
This guy is coming to the capital too? That's great, now Tiezhu has someone to keep him company.
The two children have such a good relationship and have even agreed to travel the world together. Uncle Zhong couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.
It’s a pity that Uncle Zhong’s news was delayed, and the two guys have already broken up unilaterally.
The "Black and White Devils" disbanded before they even made their debut, and the reason was a dispute over cheap labor at home.
Tiezhu was not the cheapest one, so as the old wave, he was left on the beach by the up-and-coming ones.
