Chapter 672 No One Knows
"Brother..." Li Jinxing was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something when the housekeeper Owen came over and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, I was hiding this from you and the First Young Master!"
"Owen?" Li Yaofeng looked at the butler Owen in surprise, and Li Jinxing's brows slowly frowned.
Nie Yao also looked up at Owen, a hint of surprise quickly appearing in her eyes.
"Owen, what is going on?" Li Jinxing's face darkened slightly and he asked unhappily.
Li Yaofeng also raised his eyebrows slightly and said to the butler Owen: "Owen, what are you hiding from us?"
Butler Owen looked at the brothers Li Yaofeng and Li Jinxing, a wry smile of apology spread across his face, and he slowly spoke, "At that time, the eldest young master had a lot of things to do. Although the second young master was undergoing psychological treatment, he had always had problems sleeping... When I was out, I accidentally mentioned this to Lin Xiaoxiao, and she took it to heart. She searched everywhere for calming herbs, made them into sachets, and asked me to place them by the second young master's bedside..."
Owen said this, feeling guilty and not daring to look Li Jinxing in the eye. He lowered his head and said, "I was just trying it out at first, but later I found that this sachet was very useful for the Second Young Master, so I asked Lin Xiaoxiao to continue making sachets for him until his sleep was completely improved..."
Li Yaofeng frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully, "Owen, does your father know about this?"
"He doesn't know either. I secretly put it on the second young master's bedside table. I was afraid that my father would blame me..." Owen shook his head and answered in a low voice.
Li Jinxing looked at the butler Owen coldly and scolded him with a stern face, "Why have you kept this a secret until now? If no one tells you the truth, are you going to keep it a secret forever?"
"I dare not..." Owen shuddered, and quickly bowed his head and apologized: "I was just looking for an appropriate time to tell the Second Young Master, but the Second Young Master has been busy since he became an adult, and..."
"And what?" Li Jinxing asked unhappily.
"And..." Owen raised his head and glanced at Nie Yao, then spoke cautiously, "And I've always known how Lin Xiaoxiao feels about the Second Young Master. I'm worried... worried..."
He paused at this point, but Li Jinxing knew what he meant. He sneered and asked, "Are you worried that I'll fall in love with Lin Xiaoxiao because I know what she did to me? Owen, how dare you interfere with my love life?"
"I dare not--" Owen lowered his head even lower. As a butler, he really had no right to interfere in the second young master's emotional life, let alone decide for the second young master who he liked and who he didn't like!
"I think you're very brave!" Li Jinxing sneered, looking deeply at the butler Owen, and said coldly word by word: "You concealed Lin Xiaoxiao's affairs and arranged the worst guest room for Yaoyao. As a butler, you are overreaching, acting like my elder!"
"Second Young Master, I'm sorry..." Owen repeatedly apologized to Li Jinxing, but Li Jinxing had lost his patience with him. He waved his hand and said coldly, "What's the point of apologizing now? You were able to become the steward of Li Garden because of your father's hard work for the Li family, and because you grew up with me and my eldest brother. But you forgot your identity and think you're the master of this place. I don't think you need to continue to be the steward!"
