Old Huojia had three sons and one daughter. After the original owner inherited the title, he immediately drove all his uncles and others out of the manor, leaving them to live a poor life in the slums.
She was also very harsh in her treatment of slaves, feeding them only breadcrumbs every day and requiring them to work like cattle.
Poor slaves, they don’t even have the right to resist and can only endure it silently.
The original owner's cruelty and stinginess were known to everyone in the neighborhood. She lived a luxurious life every day, attending various banquets every day. She was servile to those in power and arrogant to those in power. She was simply a two-faced person.
In her previous life, she was forced to become a vampire servant.
Not only did he let his slaves and housekeepers become food for the vampires, he even captured his uncles and other people who had been driven out and gave them to the vampires.
In the end, she herself could not escape the sin and was eventually sucked dry by the vampire.
Xihe: “…”
She walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain and saw the black land, vast cotton fields, and black slaves busy in the fields.
They worked barefoot under the scorching sun, bent over and sweating profusely, with someone supervising them.
If anyone stopped, he would be whipped, leaving deep bloody marks.
The thin child was so scared that he burst into tears and was kicked away by the tall servant. The child flew far away and fell to the ground. His mother saw it but did not dare to help him up with tears in her eyes.
Because she knew that if she tried to help her child, he would probably fall to death on the spot.
Xihe couldn't help but wipe his face: "Someone come!"
The servant pushed the door open carefully, his head lowered. "Miss Frigga."
"Have all the slaves return to their rooms. Call all the stewards of the manor, big and small, and take the child who has fallen to the ground to the church so that the old leader can take care of him."
After she finished speaking, she saw the maid's face was dull and she frowned immediately: "Didn't you hear?"
The maid reacted and nodded hurriedly: "Ms. Frigga, I'll go right away." Then she turned and hurriedly left the room.
Xihe turned around and opened the closet, ready to get a change of clothes. Suddenly, he remembered that people in this period didn't like to take baths. The bath originally scheduled for the 15th was still ten days away. He turned around helplessly and said, "Someone come!"
By the time I had washed myself clean inside and out, more than two hours had passed.
It was the first time Xihe saw so much dust rubbed out of a person's body. She couldn't help but think of the heroine and His Highness the Vampire. Are they also so dirty?
Eh, I couldn't bear to look at it for a moment.
Four stewards were standing in the hall downstairs, anxiously waiting for the owner of the manor.
The curtains were drawn on all the gorgeous rooms, and rows of candles were used for lighting. Xihe went downstairs and sat on the chair in the middle. After motioning for the stewards to sit down, he began to instruct them: "Don't approach strangers if you meet them. Come back and report in time. Everyone must wear a cross, and no one is allowed to leave the room after dark!" He turned and looked at the steward.
The steward immediately distributed the crosses he had bought from the old leader to everyone, including the servants.
Everyone was puzzled, but Xihe was the owner of the manor, so whatever she said was the truth, and everyone could only listen silently.
Seeing that the matter was done, Xihe turned around and went upstairs directly.
The old butler quickly came up with the food. "Young Master, why are you doing this? Is it related to the incident you had a few days ago?"
His old face was full of worry, not only about the safety of the young master, but also about the young master's treasury. He had to remind her: "You don't have much gold coins left in your treasury."
The crosses sent out today cost a full gold coin.
You know, the annual expenses of an ordinary farmer are only 4,000 copper coins at most. He really couldn't understand the young master's behavior.
"It's related to the past few days."
Xihe confirmed his answer and looked at him seriously: "Brando, I'm in big trouble."
She selectively told him part of the truth, including that the person who assassinated her was the one who wanted to buy her estate. The old housekeeper became furious when he heard it.
"Young Master, we will report this to His Majesty and ask him to seek justice for us."
Xihe shook his head: "Brando is useless. The master behind him has a powerful background. Even His Majesty may not be willing to provoke him. We can only rely on ourselves to get through this difficult time."
In fact, she was not afraid of Lester.
Although he is a prince recognized by the vampires, his power is only that of a marquis, and he may not be able to do anything to her.
What she really found difficult was Lester's subordinate. Gouzi had a bad start this time. She was a little late and was actually marked by others, becoming a mere ghost servant!
The ghost servant has no ability to resist when facing his master.
If she hadn't been so ruthless as to stab herself twice a few days ago, she might not have been able to escape.
Although she hadn't felt any orders or restraints in the past two days, that guy's existence was always a hidden danger. If he suddenly jumped out and interfered during the confrontation between the two sides, she would be completely powerless to resist.
Now she could only ask the housekeeper to prepare a batch of crosses. If she encountered any enemy... she would rather die than be manipulated by anyone!
The eyes, as red as red gemstones, flashed with an icy cold light. The old butler shuddered. What happened to his young master's eyes? Why hadn't he recovered yet?
Seeing him trembling with fear, Xihe blinked and the coldness disappeared.
He smiled and said, "Brando, how much property do I have left? Take some and send it to my uncle and the others."
Brando was momentarily surprised, but continued to do his duty. "You have five hundred gold coins left in your box, six thousand silver coins, and about seventy thousand bronze coins... How much will you give them?"
Xihe was a little surprised. The original owner was so poor. But after thinking about it carefully, it was actually about the same.
The original owner liked to buy jewelry, gorgeous clothes, and attend various banquets. When old Huo Jia died, he left her about 10,000 gold coins, but she had spent almost all of them in just two years.
A young lady who is keen on socializing naturally cannot care about the fields.
I spend more than I earn all day long, but the money in my pocket is getting less and less.
This is really...
Xihe said directly: "Fifty gold coins."
She still needs money now, so just give her fifty and wait until she has money in the future.
Xihe gave the order without any psychological burden.
The old housekeeper hesitated. "But if that's the case, you can't buy the dress you ordered. The cotton is ripe, and the next planting season is coming soon. We need to save some money for seeds..."
“Then don’t buy it!”
The housekeeper's eyebrows jumped: "Young Master, you must buy seeds..."
"I mean no dresses!"
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Song Wan was surprised and stared at Xihe in disbelief. His young master was willing to buy seeds instead of a dress. He was instantly moved to tears.
His little master has grown up.
Xihe: “…”
