Chapter 442 Am I a little too cruel?
Sang Zhixia claimed that he would wait until daybreak before leaving, but in fact he had already prepared the return convoy and would set off immediately after knocking out Mr. Qi.
Sang Zhixia encountered many twists and turns during this trip. When he left, in addition to bringing various local specialties for his family, he also took three people with him.
Aunt Xie and the two young women she pointed out.
Aunt Xie sat in the carriage, washing and brewing tea. She placed the steaming cup next to Sang Zhixia's hands and whispered, "The owner of the manor said that the guards around you are capable, but they are all men, so there will inevitably be some inconveniences."
"Huashan and Diancui have been raised in the manor since they were young. They both learned martial arts since childhood. Huashan is good at medicine, and Diancui is good at poisons. They are both trained to be death warriors. Their loyalty to you is unquestionable. You can just use them with confidence."
In fact, these two people were carefully selected by Old Qi from many people, and he put a lot of effort into training them for Qi Yan'er.
But Qi Yan'er had no use for it.
The old man Qi and his daughter were stuck in a deadlock for many years. The remaining people in the villa did not really not notice anything, but they were afraid of damaging the jade bottle by killing the mouse, so they did not dare to move.
But the remaining parts of the villa have continued to operate over the years, and these two people have learned everything they need to know, so it is just right to give it to Sang Zhixia now.
Sang Zhixia hadn't expected that Old Qi had thought of such a perfect plan for her. After a moment of silence, she smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not that delicate."
"At home, I also do everything from cooking to working in the fields. I don't need anyone to wait on me."
As early as when the family's situation improved, Aunt Xu and the others had discussed whether they should hire a few servants to help with the housework and help Sang Zhixia share some of the burden.
Who knew that when these words were spoken, everyone, big and small, shook their heads.
The two years in the Northwest are neither long nor short, but the changes brought about over time are enormous.
Now everyone in the family is used to doing their own things. They treat cooking and washing clothes as fun and entertaining things. No one feels it is a burden after sharing the work. When you think about it, it seems unnecessary.
At that time, Xu Wenxiu also specifically asked Sang Zhixia whether to hire two personal maids to follow her so as to avoid the hard work.
Sang Zhixia shook her head like a rattle on the spot.
If she really had to live a life of having everything provided for her, she might not be able to adapt.
Aunt Xie had seen Xu Yu roll up his sleeves and go to the fields to help with the plow, and she could guess how the couple interacted in daily life. She knew Sang Zhixia wasn't being deliberately polite to her, so she just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether it can be used or not. It's better to have it than not to have it."
"If you go out, you can't go without someone to show your status. Someone has to serve tea and water."
Sang Zhixia didn't know how to respond and just smiled.
Aunt Xie continued, "You can rest assured. Since the owner of the manor has given the order, they will obey your instructions from now on. From now on, they will not listen to anyone else's orders except you."
In other words, whatever is given to Sang Zhixia is completely hers.
Sang Zhixia pursed her lips with mixed feelings. Before she could think of what to say, Aunt Xie placed a booklet on the small table.
"The owner of the manor told me to wait until you leave before giving it to you."
"This is?"
Sang Zhixia's eyebrows flew up, and she said with a smile: "Could it be the land deed or the house deed?"
How many good things are hidden in Qianyuan Villa?
Aunt Xie laughed and shook her head: "Neither of them, you'll know once you open it."
Driven by curiosity, Sang Zhixia opened the booklet and read the contents clearly. Her relaxed back gradually straightened up.
Aunt Xie waited until she finished reading before saying, "The owner of the manor explained part of it to you before, but he didn't specify the specific personnel and distribution. The rest is all in this booklet."
Not only in Shu.
From the northwest border to the south of Maolin Lingnan, and then to the border desert of the Jiangnan water town, Qianyuan Villa actually deployed an astonishingly large chess game without anyone knowing.
With this thing and the help of these people, even if Sang Zhixia is stationed in the northwest, he can easily get all kinds of information from all directions without any effort.
Sang Zhixia's eyes trembled fiercely, and she said reflexively in fear: "I can't accept this thing, I..."
"The owner of the manor said you might be able to use it."
Aunt Xie gently interrupted Sang Zhixia and said slowly, "Although you haven't revealed your origins to the owner of the manor, he told me that you are extraordinary and don't seem like an ordinary child."
"This booklet represents the labor of several generations of the manor. In the hands of others, it might become a disaster. However, in your hands, it might be of great use. I must personally hand it to you."
Mr. Qi really didn't plan to live anymore.
Before he actually committed suicide, he wanted to do everything he could to get the last bit of warmth he had received in his miserable later years.
Sang Zhixia held the light booklet as if it were a huge stone. With a mixture of emotions, she couldn't help but say, "Aunt Xie, am I a bit of a nobody?"
Aunt Xie was visibly stunned: "Where did you get this from?"
"I……"
Sang Zhixia swallowed hard, then pointed meaningfully at the carriage following behind, saying with a bitter face, "Old Qi was so kind to me, but I knocked him out with a backhand move, and even decided to take him to a strange place without my permission. Am I…"
"Isn't that a bit too cruel?"
From an outsider's perspective, Sang Zhixia is a typical example of someone who gets benefits but still acts like a troublemaker.
He is simply a monster who is taking advantage of others!
Aunt Xie didn't expect Sang Zhixia to say that. She was stunned for a long moment before she said with a smile, "How could that be?"
"Your intentions are always good."
Sang Zhixia felt the object in her hand was even hotter: "But Mr. Qi doesn't want to..."
From the moment the old man passed out, Sang Zhixia's heart began to beat fast.
Judging from the old man's violent temper, who knows what he will do when he wakes up.
Aunt Xie's smile deepened as she said softly, "If you ignore the owner of the manor and let him make his own decisions, then even if these things fall into your hands, they won't be useful as expected."
These people are loyal to Qi Lao, not Sang Zhixia.
It is not surprising that new masters replace old masters, but the difficult thing is to convince people.
Sang Zhixia saved Mr. Qi's life, which was equivalent to saving the hearts of these people.
From now on, these people who have been invisible to the light for many years will become a sharp blade in Sang Zhixia's hands.
She is the only one who obeys.
Sang Zhixia was like a person who suddenly found a large piece of gold while walking on the road. He was so surprised that he felt at a loss as to what to do.
Aunt Xie said everything she needed to say, then calmed down and quietly started embroidering on the side.
Sang Zhixia stared at them for a long while and couldn't help but say, "Aunt Xie, aren't you curious about where I'm taking you?"
