Chapter 139: The Grand Tutor Traps Himself
"What do you mean by that!" Shen Bailin could no longer hold back his annoyance.
He originally thought he had found a powerful backer, but he did not expect that not only did the backer fail to save his family from being confiscated, but the backer was now threatening him.
"Berlin, I have a piece of advice for you. Be down-to-earth and don't think of those crooked ways!" The tutor shook his head, picked up his package and was about to leave.
Shen Bailin held him down and said, "You've been living and eating for free in my house for so many days, and now you just leave like that?"
The Grand Tutor was shocked. He had never thought that someone could be so shameless.
He didn't pay for groceries or medicine, but the treasures he gave to Shen Ruyi, and the money he gave privately to Shen Bailin and Qin Hanyan, weren't they all for the expenses of the second wife?
"Well, since you want to calculate the money, I'll give it to you!" The master was so angry that he took out five thousand taels of silver from his bag, "This is enough, right?"
When Shen Bailin saw the banknotes, he could no longer hide his greed.
"Master, how much money did the emperor give you?"
"It's none of your business. Now I have paid off the food and drink expenses for these days in your house. I am leaving now. You and I are done with each other!" The tutor snorted coldly and left.
Shen Bailin grabbed him and said, "Is it fun to always speak in such a flowery way? You are such a pretentious person."
"How do I know you won't go to the palace to complain when you leave?"
The Master was a little nervous when he saw Shen Bailin's rogue appearance, and was worried that he would do something more extreme. "No, I will go back to my hometown. If you are worried, you can come and see if I have boarded the ship back!"
"I don't believe it." Shen Bailin said coldly, "Master, for the sake of reassuring everyone, you should let me and my family follow you to Jiangnan. I promise that as long as we go to Jiangnan, I will honor you as before."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" The Taifu was so angry that his beard was shaking.
He now deeply regrets not listening to the emperor's advice.
From the very beginning, the emperor expressed his suspicion of the second wife's family, and he only regretted that he was deceived too deeply at the time.
Now I am trapped by them.
"You don't understand what I'm saying, old man!" Shen Bailin pulled off the package from the tutor.
I don't know when, Shen Ruyi also stood at the door.
"Dad, we can't let him leave us." Shen Ruyi frowned. Although she looked cute and small, her expression was colder and more sinister than that of an adult.
"What do you mean!" The Taifu was completely panicked. He looked at Shen Ruyi and felt as if he had never known her.
Such a cute and adorable little kid, how could he have such a scary expression?
"Grandpa Taifu." Shen Ruyi smiled, "I have sold your followers in your name for money. We will just take care of you from now on."
When the Grand Tutor heard that his book boy who had followed him for more than ten years had been sold, he became even more anxious. "On what grounds did you sell my people without my permission? You are really as bad as outsiders say!"
"Hmph, it's obviously you who are useless. It's already good enough that we didn't hate you for not saving us back then." Qin Hanyan also walked into the room and curled her lips in disdain.
"Isn't it just selling your servants for money? What's the big deal? When our second branch has money in the future, we will buy them for you." Qin Hanyan didn't care.
The Grand Tutor was both heartbroken and confused. His servant had been with him since he was eight years old and had been with him for seven years.
To him, the little book boy was no different from his family members and his grandson.
"Hurry up and find him back!" The Taifu stamped his feet anxiously.
"Hey, you're anxious now. Why didn't you get so anxious when we were being beaten?" Shen Bailin said sarcastically.
The Grand Tutor was stunned. "What are you talking about? I took out the jade pendant that the Emperor gave me, which is as effective as the death-free gold medal!"
"Humph, we still got beaten." Qin Hanyan snorted coldly, "If you really care about us and treat us as your own family, you should have stood in front of us."
"You are the emperor's tutor. If you stand in their way, they will never dare to raise the stick again. The bottom line is, it's because you don't want to help!" Shen Bailin spoke up.
The Grand Tutor was so infuriated by their self-righteous reasoning that he was speechless. He turned around and rushed out.
"You evil people have harmed my servant and misinterpreted my good intentions. My good intentions have really gone to waste!"
Seeing that he wanted to run away, Shen Bailin and Qin Hanyan held him tightly.
"You can't leave our sight. Take us to Jiangnan right now. If you don't, I will kill you!" Shen Bailin threatened coldly.
The Master was so angry that he was shaking.
His kindness was repeatedly trampled on and insulted by these people.
"Shen Bailin, you are committing treason and violating the law!"
Shen Bailin and Qin Hanyan looked at each other and directly pressed the tutor to the chair and tied him up.
Shen Ruyi stared at the tutor and calculated carefully.
Now the Grand Tutor knows that the robbers at that time were actually planned by their second branch.
If he were to tell others, his whole family would probably be beheaded by the emperor.
In that case...just get rid of it as soon as possible.
Shen Ruyi glanced at the package that the tutor dropped on the ground, which contained a lot of silver and jewelry.
It looks like if they give the money to the second wife, it will be enough for their food and drink expenses to get through this period.
When she comes up with a new idea later, it will definitely help the second branch to regain its power.
"Mom and Dad, let's do it." Shen Ruyi said, and took out a pair of sharp scissors from the drawer next to her. "We can't let him go out and talk nonsense."
Shen Bailin took the scissors, his hands shaking a little.
He had done many bad things, but this was the first time he had done something that directly resulted in bloodshed.
He held the scissors and gestured at the master's neck for a long time, but still couldn't bring himself to do it.
Qin Hanyan was a woman with many evil thoughts, but she always used ruthless means and never used a knife directly.
Seeing the two people hesitating, Shen Ruyi sighed.
If she wasn't too small and weak, she would have used the scissors herself.
It's just a little blood. Compared with their lives, their lives are not as important.
"Drag him to the yard and bury him." Shen Ruyi spoke each word clearly.
In the past, the Grand Tutor liked to listen to her speak the most. He felt that although this little baby was not very old, her voice was pleasant and crisp, and her pronunciation was clear.
But now, every time he heard Shen Ruyi say a word, a few drops of cold sweat fell from his forehead.
"Ruyi, you are a good child, how can you say such things?" The Taifu couldn't believe it.
Shen Ruyi tilted her head and looked at him, "Who told Grand Tutor to be disobedient and not take us to Jiangnan?"
The tutor panicked, but Qin Hanyan had already tied him up with a hemp rope.
Soon, Shen Bailin brought his servants and dug a big pit in the yard.
