When Hengyu went to knock on the door of the first mansion on the street, the morning sun had barely crossed the cliff in the distance, and the day had just begun.
"Oh - you are really a rare visitor." A fat middle-aged man with a shrewd face poked his head out of the side door.
Hengyu turned sideways and smiled at the butler who looked more like a businessman: "Butler Pan, please tell Xiu Ming that I want to see him."
Butler Pan slowly walked from the side door to the front steps, squinting at the skylight, "We have just arrived at Chenshi. Master Hengyu didn't even eat breakfast on his way home and came to see the young master?"
After Butler Pan finished speaking, he glanced up and down at Heng Yu, took two steps back, and said with a nervous look on his face: "Master Heng Yu, does he have any weapons? He is not looking for my young master to seek revenge."
Hengyu squinted his eyes, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and asked with a surprised smile: "Why did Butler Pan say this?"
"Is the young master seeking revenge?" Butler Pan looked at Heng Yu with amusement.
Hengyu's face also turned cold, "That kind of woman is not worthy of my anger. Butler Pan, it's better not to delay the business."
Butler Pan's triangular eyes were gleaming. After all, he didn't dare to offend Heng Yu too much. "Then, young master, just follow me. Oh, by the way, because the young master has been punished by confinement by the master, in principle, the younger ones don't dare to open the door to greet him." Guest, please forgive me, Mr. Hengyu."
Hengyu shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter, the door of the house I lived in when I was a child was not as wide as the side door."
Butler Pan, who was leading the way, lowered his head with a contemptuous smile on his face.
Butler Pan's name was Pan Renfeng, and his name earned him wealth. He was a very wealthy businessman in Zhuque City back then. Unfortunately, everyone in his family was rich and unkind, causing many families to be ruined. Finally one day, he was killed by the original owner. A man he could walk in the mud came to the door of the murderer.
It was also after Butler Pan thought that he was destined to be lucky and cruelly abandoned the whole family who was lying in a pool of blood begging for mercy, he unexpectedly bumped into Murong Xiuming, who finally had the opportunity to come to Suzaku City to have fun, and the murderer and assassin was also a hidden man. Valley Assassin.
The fat butler is not a gentleman who never takes revenge after ten years. He first offered all his family property to Murong Xiuming in order to seek protection. Then that night, he took advantage of the east wind of Murong Xiuming, who had been so kind to him, and went to revenge. Kill the whole family of the person who paid for the murder.
For Hidden Valley, customers' privacy and identity information must not be leaked. Unfortunately, when Murong Xiuming approached Liuye Bookstore in Suzaku City, even Chen Zhuo gave Murong the face of his surname.
After Butler Pan tried something more useful than wealth in troubled times, he deliberately flattered him and became the most powerful person in the mansion besides Murong Xiuming.
…
Walking along the corridor and passing through the garden, all you see is wealth and beauty.
Hengyu just followed Butler Pan and bumped into several waves of pretty maids. This was completely different from his mansion at the end of the street.
Seeing Hengyu's eyes lingering on the trays of fruits and vegetables in the maid's hands, Butler Pan smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Hengyu is going to laugh. Youyan Prefecture is located in the southernmost territory of the dynasty. If this is Jiangnan Prefecture, the richest place in the dynasty, The ostentation of ordinary wealthy people is even greater than this, so Lao Pan can only do his best and do his best."
Hengyu did not express any opinion. The summer in Tiannan is hot, and there is a saying that fruits and vegetables will rot in one day after being picked from the branches. It seems that Fatty Pan spent a lot of money just on preservation in order for his master to eat fresh fruits. Think less.
After passing through a few more doorways and corridors, we could finally vaguely hear Murong Xiu Ming's voice shouting at his servant.
Butler Pan motioned to Hengyu to stand outside the door, and he went in first to make the announcement, and Hengyu naturally agreed.
Soon, Butler Pan, who had a crimson slap mark on his face, ran out and asked a maid with a charming figure and a smile to lead Hengyu to the central hall to wait for a while.
The maid in Murong Xiuming's house was well trained by Butler Pan, who always bowed her head and led the way. Heng Yu saw that there were too few corners and fewer servants, and finally couldn't bear the depression in his heart, so he got behind the maid, The maid was startled, and before she could shout, Heng Yu covered her mouth.
"Miss, I just want to ask you something. You don't have to be so panicked. If you can calm down, just blink your eyes."
"Sir, just call me Xiaoyue."
The maid was obviously very scared, but she didn't dare to move. She just lowered her head and her shoulders were shaking violently.
Hengyu sighed, took a step back, and asked softly: "Miss Xiaoyue, earlier today, did you see a... a girl wearing a hairpin and a skirt? Well... maybe... In your young master’s room.”
Maid Xiaoyue raised her head and glanced at Hengyu curiously. Only then did Hengyu realize that maid Xiaoyue was probably only thirteen or thirteen years old. No wonder she was petite.
"This morning... there was a Miss Si in the young master's room."
The hope in Hengyu's eyes that he couldn't explain was completely shattered.
"But, but..." Xiaoyue mustered up the courage to raise her head and said, "That Miss Si was waiting outside the door early in the morning, and..."
"Young Master failed to succeed." The last sentence became very weak.
Although Satsuki is still very young, she seems to be aware of certain keen emotions.
Hengyu stretched out his hands excitedly and saw Xiaoyue taking a step back in fright. He smiled softly at Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, you look good when you raise your head and speak."
Maid Xiaoyue's chin almost dropped to her chest.
At this moment, an untimely voice sounded: "Really? I don't know how pretty this little maid of mine who uses the urinal looks like."
When Xiaoyue heard this voice, she knelt down directly in front of Hengyu. Of course, Hengyu knew that the little maid was not kneeling to him. He sighed softly in his heart and pulled Xiaoyue up from the ground before turning around.
Murong Xiuming was sitting on the sliding pole raised by the two of them. He was coming around the corner from the corridor and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Hengyu was also from my generation."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaoyue, shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect that he would be as good at this as Fatty Pan."
Hengyu still looked at Murong Xiuming with some caution, and Murong Xiuming said impatiently; "Don't worry, Hengyu, I have never been in the habit of eavesdropping in my house. I just listened openly... Ha... It's a pity what happened just now." I heard the last sentence, otherwise I can still learn from it.”
Hengyu had prepared several explanations in an instant, but now he just cupped his hands in shame and said, "I made Xiu Ming laugh."
Murong Xiuming looked at Hengyu condescendingly, smiled softly and said, "I wonder what the important thing is for Hengyu to come to me so early? I was still in bed at the time."
"Sir, this old slave is useless." Butler Pan immediately knelt down in the corridor.
Hengyu didn't even look at those shady people. His eyes quickly flew from Murong Xiuming, who was being carried on a sliding pole, to the two people carrying the sedan chair. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Murong Xiuming was really Afraid of death, he actually asked two second-grade masters to carry the sedan for him.
Murong Xiuming noticed Heng Yu's surprised gaze and felt a little uncomfortable on his face. He smiled and said, "Heng Yu, don't be ridiculous. This is specially sent by my father to monitor my every move. I am really being imprisoned now."
At this point, Murong Xiu Ming's face really showed a trace of despair.
Hengyu nodded and said, "I came to see Brother Xiu Ming early in the morning, but actually I have nothing to do with that person."
"Oh?" Murong Xiuming became excited and sat up from the bamboo chair. As a result, he felt a burst of unbearable pain.
He gritted his teeth and said: "The methods used by those girls in Wanhua Valley are really vicious. Although I am no longer in fear of my life, my whole body is sore and weak. If I don't take a good rest, I will have endless troubles."
Murong Xiu Ming was actually a little secretly happy that he was not able to be honest with outsiders. If he hadn't been injured like this, Murong Yin's punishment would not have been heavy thunder and light rain.
Hengyu said with a look of disgust: "The women in Wanhua Valley have already separated from Hidden Valley. This is something everyone knows. It's a pity that someone appeared out of thin air..."
Hengyu immediately stopped talking and looked at Murong Xiuming with concern.
Murong Xiu Ming's young face was not so thick-skinned, and he almost couldn't hold himself tight. He turned to look at the scenery outside the corridor, and after a while he said: "Then let's go to the central hall to discuss matters, but you don't have to come."
Murong Xiuming glanced at Butler Pan who was kneeling on the ground, and then glanced at the maid Xiaoyue in Hengyu's arms.
Hengyu knew that if he stopped saying anything, the most innocent little maid in his arms would probably lose half of his life in the hands of Fatty Pan. He thought to himself that he had indeed accepted the other party's feelings just now, and Murong Xiuming had not heard what was going on before. Hengyu, who was in a good mood, finally said: "Brother Xiu Ming, I have a grudge."
Murong Xiu Ming raised his chin.
Hengyu straightened the little maid who was shivering in his arms and stood upright, "You know my house at the end of the street. It's sparsely populated, and Miss Xiaoyue just happens to have eyes for me. Look..."
While Murong Xiuming was still thinking about it, Butler Pan said very well: "Xiaoyue is a skinny horse I bought for the young master in Jiangnan Prefecture at a huge price."
"Palm mouth!"
Murong Xiuming just said lightly, and Butler Pan immediately kept fanning his face. Hengyu quickly stopped him and said: "Of course I understand this, Xiuming, I will discuss this matter with you later, if you think it's okay , it’s better to make a decision again.”
"Are you really so confident that I will agree?" Murong Xiu Ming's eyes were full of surprise.
Hengyu shook his head and said, "If you don't agree, I will naturally change the conditions."
Murong Xiuming glanced at the little maid who had not grown in appearance or figure, and waved his hand directly: "Fat Pan, please send this little maid to the end of the street now. Well, since it is a gift, then be polite and considerate. .”
Butler Pan was cursing secretly in his heart. He knew that the slap he had made today was in vain, and he had to send the little maid he secretly coveted intact. He was at a loss for this deal no matter what.
Xiaoyue, the maid involved, was the most excited. Being able to escape from this place made her thin shoulders tremble again.
Hengyu saw this and squeezed Xiaoyue's shoulder. He used his hand a little more, which turned the joy on Xiaoyue's face into an expression of pain. Then he said calmly: "My There is only one lame old man in the house. Compared with this place, the family is really bare and I feel wronged to Miss Xiaoyue."
Xiaoyue quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed first to Murong Xiu Ming and then to Butler Pan, and then said: "The maidservant is just a lowly servant. She obeys the young master's orders whether she goes or stays."
Murong Xiu Ming felt extremely good about himself when he saw the girl who was with Heng Yuni just now kneeling under him.
"That's it, let's go to the nave first."
