The housekeeper was a little nervous, thinking that Mr. Qi was out of his mind: "Sir, weren't you very angry just now? Why did you have to go and hang up in person?"
Mr. Qi frowned: "Who said I was angry? What do you know? It was excitement, excitement, the excitement of the second marriage."
Mr. Qi patted the butler on the shoulder meaningfully: "You are still young. When you are my age, you will naturally understand."
The housekeeper responded tremblingly: "Yes, that's what your Excellency said."
Mr. Qi nodded with satisfaction and was very excited about becoming famous tomorrow. If it wasn't for Wu's urging, he almost couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
In the middle of the night, the housekeeper Wang Zhong tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking and sighing.
The servant asked sleepily: "Manager Wang, what's wrong with you?"
"Why are you sighing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Butler Wang: "Oh, I can't sleep."
Servant: "Master Qi thinks so highly of you, why do you have anything to worry about?"
Manager Wang: "There have been a lot of things going on in Qi Mansion recently, so paying attention is of no use."
"Today, I am the manager of the Wang family, but if we fail to protect everything tomorrow, the king will be imprisoned."
The servant was startled: "Why do you say that? What happened?"
"Hasn't His Majesty already pardoned Mr. Qi? Good things come one after another."
Butler Wang sighed: "There are good things happening one after another, but you don't think carefully about what good things happened recently."
"That Wu married the young master three years ago, and the young master then fell ill."
"Now I'm entangled with Mr. Qi again. He unexpectedly has a child, and I have to give away the shares of Yali Daily."
"In order to fulfill this lie, I deceived His Majesty and the courtiers."
"Although His Majesty said it was a small punishment but a big warning, and I don't care about it anymore, that is because His Majesty is magnanimous. Cheating Your Majesty is a capital crime and can be avoided. But will Your Majesty still trust Mr. Qi to do things? Will you still trust Mr. Qi?"
"Since ancient times, mutual trust between monarchs and ministers is the blessing of the country. Once there is a rift, it cannot be made up."
The servant was dumbfounded: "Is this so serious?"
"Then Lord Qi has read the books of saints and sages, so he should be able to think of it. Why would he do such a thing?"
Butler Wang: "I can think of it, Master Qi must also be able to think of it, but why do you keep making the same mistakes again and again? I guess it must be because of Wu's temptation."
"Ever since she married into the Qi Mansion, no good thing will happen to any man who gets involved with her."
The servant nodded thoughtfully: "Mr. Wang, you said that. I really think about it and have the impression that it was Xiao Fuzi who was on duty in her courtyard. He disappeared inexplicably and was later found in the well."
"But no matter what, since Your Majesty has forgiven Mr. Qi, there is no Shatou and no house confiscation, who cares if we have enough to eat? Isn't this good?"
Steward Wang: "It's good now. Your Majesty is magnanimous and the ministers don't care about it. But you can't hold Master Qi to death."
The servant scratched his head: "Master Qi has never done anything to deceive you again."
Butler Wang: "Didn't you see that Mr. Qi is going to go to the entrance of the mansion to decorate the house with red lanterns?"
The servant chuckled: "Master Qi loves his wives and concubines, he is such a good man."
Butler Wang slapped him across the face, glared and said, "Wake up, you're a good man."
"Master Qi is a great Confucian who respects etiquette and rules. Wouldn't it ruin his reputation by doing this?"
"It's not a small thing to ruin your reputation. Your Majesty attaches great importance to propriety, justice and integrity. Such behavior undermines the general ethics. Isn't it a slap in the face to His Majesty?"
"It's okay to hold a happy event secretly, but you also need to decorate it with lights and decorations. I'm afraid people won't know. Such a big move will make His Majesty's face swollen."
"Do you think Master Qi still has a way out?"
The servant said tremblingly: "You are stupid, I didn't expect Mr. Qi to be so confused. Mr. Wang, you should remind Mr. Qi."
Steward Wang sighed: "I haven't warned you about the stakes, but Mr. Qi is so immersed in Wenrou Township that he can't listen to anyone else's words."
The servant said fiercely: "This Wu Shi is really hateful. When the young master was buried, she should have been buried with him."
Butler Wang: "It's too late to say anything now. It's done. Now that she's pregnant, her status is the highest in the house."
The servant said: "If Mrs. Wu is not pregnant, Mr. Wang's position is below one person and above several others, but now he is snatched away by Mrs. Wu. It really shouldn't be the case."
Butler Wang nodded happily: "You boy, it seems that my love for you is not in vain."
The servant chuckled: "Manager Wang, although I have not been with you the longest in this house, I am most impressed by you."
"Just tell me what you want me to do. Everything I do is at your disposal."
"How about poisoning Wu and asking her to go downstairs to accompany the young master?"
Steward Wang shook his head: "No, the laws of Great Qin are very strict. There is no need for us to ruin our good lives for an Wu family."
The servant lowered his head and replied: "What Manager Wang said is, what if we find some white cloth and deliberately scare the Wu family?"
Manager Wang said: "There are many people in the mansion, and Master Qi has been living in her yard recently, so it is very difficult to arrange it."
The servant scratched his head: "Then what else can we do?"
Butler Wang looked out the window, at the familiar courtyard and the bright moonlight. Butler Wang felt very depressed.
Butler Wang sighed: "It seems that I can't stay in Qi Mansion any longer. Although I have no worries about food and clothing for the time being, living in fear all the time is not my pursuit."
The servant glanced at Butler Wang: "Then, what do you want...?"
Butler Wang: "Pack your things now and leave before dawn."
The servant said in surprise: "Are you in such a hurry?"
Butler Wang: "If Mr. Qi goes to the door in person to hang a red lantern during the day tomorrow, everyone in Xianyang City will know about it within half a day. By then, they won't be able to leave even if they want to."
"If an imperial decree comes down, it is not up to you to weigh whether it is a blessing or a curse."
"You have to control your destiny in your own hands. Mr. Qi is very knowledgeable, but he just can't pass the test of being a woman. Why wait here to be tricked and killed if you are not just begging for food?"
The servant said yes again and again, frowning.
Butler Wang: "Are you willing to leave with me?"
The servant looked at Butler Wang in the moonlight. Butler Wang's face was very pale.
The servant composed himself: "Manager Wang thinks highly of me, of course I am willing to follow you, but..."
The white moonlight hit Butler Wang's face, which looked a little scary. Butler Wang frowned and said, "Just what?"
The servant did not dare to look directly at Butler Wang's face. He lowered his head and said tremblingly, "It's just that the incident happened suddenly. I have to say goodbye to Cuihua."
Butler Wang: "I asked you why you keep changing shifts recently. It turns out it's to be with that girl Cuihua."
"How long?"
The servant waved his hands nervously: "Not long, not long, we just started talking recently."
Steward Wang patted the servant on the shoulder: "You will make money with me in the future. If you don't have any good friends, you will be much more handsome than Cuihua."
The servant lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Butler Wang felt his first love, so he had to say: "That's all, go quietly, don't let others see it, just tell Cuihua that you have to take a few days off to go back to your hometown."
"If the news is leaked because of this, please wait carefully."
I don't know whether it was because of the moonlight or because Butler Wang was overly worried and sick. The servant looked at Butler Wang's pale face and his heart trembled. He bowed his head and ran out quickly.
Some people died, but not completely...
