"It's only been one day since we last met, and you're already missing me? What a vulgar man." Shen Qingwu looked at the short line of words on the letter paper, muttered softly, and rubbed his sore waist unconsciously.
Although there are many benefits to practicing dual cultivation with Chu Guannan, she still has important matters to deal with today!
If these three traitors were still in the yard tonight, she would not be able to sleep well.
Moreover, she had to settle Wu Dabao and the others first before she would be in the mood to deal with other things.
So, Shen Qingwu asked Wu Dabao to find a fire starter, burn the letter, pretending that he had not received it, and started to deal with his own affairs.
She took the self-introductions written by several people and asked them to stand in a row under the sycamore tree.
"Liu Genshu, Wu Cuicui, husband and wife?" Shen Qingwu looked at the first one first, was a little surprised, and raised his hand to let Wu Cuicui come forward.
Wu Cuicui was still as servile as ever, and her temper was warm, "Miss."
"Stretch out your hand." Shen Qingwu was like a doctor sitting in consultation.
Wu Cuicui was puzzled, but she did as she was told.
Shen Qingwu glanced at the couple's resumes, and his pre-cut fingertips fell on Wu Cuicui's wrist.
The couple are thirty years old and have a son and a daughter. The daughter is thirteen years old and the son is ten years old. They are taken care of by the elderly in their hometown in the countryside. They signed a ten-year living contract.
Of course, what they didn't write was that their parents and children in the countryside were being monitored by a force they were unaware of, and the couple were being forced to work for them. It was a secret sentry planted in the general's mansion.
Wu Cuicui has been very grateful in the past few years. In the five years she has been in the general's mansion, that person has never looked for them or asked them to do anything.
Seeing the old monk Shen Qingwu in meditation, Wu Cuicui felt a little nervous and looked back at her husband.
Liu Genshu signaled her to stay calm.
Shen Qingwu finally opened his eyes, withdrew his hands, and looked at Liu Genshu.
Liu Genshu half-knelt on the ground and stretched out his hand. As Shen Qingwu's slightly cool fingertips landed on his wrist, he became inexplicably nervous, as if he was being seen through.
Liu Genshu was also conflicted, but he was more cunning than Wu Cuicui.
He has been secretly keeping a mistress for these years, and their child is two years old. He thought that if something really happened, he would abandon his child with Wu Cuicui so that he would have descendants in the future.
Shen Qingwu looked at Liu Genshu with a sharper look in his eyes and asked calmly, "Besides these, are there any other things you two are hiding from me?"
"No, Miss is gone." Liu Genshu knelt on his knees and said respectfully.
Wu Cuicui also knelt down and shook her head, "No."
Shen Qingwu didn't say anything and let Wu Cuicui come forward.
Wu Chunxiang and Wu Cuicui are from the same hometown. They are eighteen years old and look rather naive. Compared with ordinary women, they are big and strong.
After her parents died, she was sold to the general's mansion by her brother and became a maid sweeping the outer courtyard, and she signed a death contract.
Wu Cuicui was the one who arranged the deal. Originally, Wu Chunxiang wanted to sign a living contract, but the fixed contract cost more.
After Wu Cuicui came to the general's mansion, she learned a few characters from Sun Wang and showed some talent.
"What about you? Are you hiding something from me?" Shen Qingwu asked the same question.
Wu Cuicui shook her head, "I dare not lie."
Shen Qingwu also nodded, without saying anything more, and let Wu Dabao come forward.
Wu Dabao was thirty-seven years old. He used to be a hunter with some skills. His wife died and his son was lost.
He offended someone on the way to find his son, and Shen Qingfeng saved his life, so he entered the general's mansion, which was also a death contract. Shen Qingfeng also promised to help him find the whereabouts of his son.
During these years at the General's Mansion, he would continue to inquire during his rest time.
"My lady, I have absolutely nothing to hide."
Compared with the previous people, he is more loyal to Shen Qingwu because Shen Qingwu is the beloved sister of his benefactor Shen Qingfeng.
Over the years in the mansion, Wu Dabao has repeatedly disrupted the actions of Shen Qinglei and others who bullied Shen Qingwu.
Shen Qingwu's eyes softened a bit, and he added, "Good fortune is in the future, and everything will be fine."
Wu Dabao kowtowed to her and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Miss."
The last one, Sun Wang, stepped forward.
He is seventeen years old this year. He left home at the age of nine, lost contact with his mother, and wandered around.
Once he was accidentally made a servant for someone, but the owner of the house didn't like him and sold him. He was good at gardening, so the next day Zhao Qiuyi picked him up and bought him back.
He didn't remember where his hometown was or what his original name was. Sun Wang was the name the head of the family gave him when he was a servant.
Shen Qingwu looked up at him. Sun Wang's biological father always abused his mother. When he was nine years old, he accidentally killed his father in order to protect his mother.
But his mother turned against him and wanted to beat him to death and even report him to the police. He was so scared that he ran away overnight.
He was a beggar for many years, wandering to many places, and his life was on the verge of death many times, but he did not dare to go home. When he was twelve years old, he was begging on the roadside. Because of his good looks, he was noticed by the people in Xianggu Pavilion and was taken back.
There, he learned poetry, songs, calligraphy, chess, and painting, which were only learned by wealthy people.
However, he was forced to serve many nobles and suffered some hardships, but for him, it was much better than wandering outside without enough food.
When he was fourteen, he was spotted by a wealthy scholar and taken home to be a servant. However, less than half a year later, the affair was exposed and he was sold out.
Zhao Qiuyi didn't ask many questions when she bought him. After all, he was just a gardener in the outer courtyard, so as long as it was a life contract, it would be fine.
What Sun Wang wants most now is to be a gardener in this general's mansion for the rest of his life. Having a few servants to chat with is enough.
Seventeen-year-old Sun Wang has seen the vicissitudes of life, as well as the anxiety of being a rootless duckweed.
He never told anyone around him about his past and tried hard to fit in, fearing being rejected.
"Miss, I do have something to say, but I don't want everyone to know. I swear on my life that I will never have any second thoughts about you in the future, otherwise I will not die a good death." Sun Wang raised his hand and swore, looking at Shen Qingwu pleadingly.
Shen Qingwu's eyes were calm. "What if I really want to know?"
She doesn't necessarily want to see people expose their own scars.
Sun Wang's hands are stained with his biological father's blood, and he might be in trouble in the future.
And it is better to give away your biggest secret than to swear loyalty.
Sun Wang's raised hand fell limply. "If possible, can you tell only the young lady?"
Sun Wang followed Shen Qingwu into the study, and she asked Wu Da to guard the door.
Wu Dabao sized up the frail Sun Wang and gruffly warned him before he entered, "If you dare to hurt the young lady, I'll smash your head off!"
Sun Wang was in a heavy mood and did not respond. He followed in with his head lowered and knelt in front of the desk.
Sun Wang knelt on the ground and confessed everything without hiding anything.
Finally, he kowtowed heavily to Shen Qingwu and said, "Miss, please don't drive me away. I will definitely listen to you in the future."
Wu Cuicui and her husband in the yard couldn't hear what was said inside, but the more they heard, the more uneasy they felt.
Although nothing has happened in these years, that incident is still a trouble.
"Should we tell it?" Wu Cuicui asked Liu Genshu in a low voice.
Liu Genshu was at a loss. "If we tell her, can the young lady protect us?"
Moreover, he has a mistress, which is really a sin.
