Old Hoja had three sons and one daughter. After inheriting the title, the original owner immediately kicked all his uncles and others out of the manor, leaving them to live a poor life in the slums.
She was also very harsh on her slaves. She only gave them bread crumbs every day, but required them to work non-stop like cattle.
Poor slaves, they don't even have the right to resist, they can only suffer in silence.
The original owner's cruelty and stinginess were well known in the neighborhood. She lived a luxurious life every day and attended various banquets every day. She was groveling to the superiors and arrogant to the inferiors. She was simply a two-faced person.
In her previous life, she was forced to become a vampire ghost queen.
Not only did he make his slaves and housekeepers become the vampire's rations, he even captured the uncles and others he had driven out and contributed them to the vampires.
And she herself was unable to escape her sin in the end, and was eventually drained of blood by a vampire.
Xihe: "..."
She walked to the window, opened a corner of the curtain, and saw the black land, large cotton fields, and black slaves working in the fields.
They braved the scorching sun, bent over and worked barefoot, sweating profusely, and were supervised by special personnel.
Once anyone stops, the whip will be thrown over immediately, leaving deep bloody marks.
The thin child was so frightened that he cried loudly. He 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 went to help her, her child would probably be thrown to death on the spot.
Xihe couldn't help but wiped his face: "Here comes someone!"
The servant opened the door carefully and came in with his head lowered: "Miss Frigga."
"Let all the slaves go back to their rooms. Call all the stewards in the manor. Also, take the child who fell on the ground to the church and let the old leader take a look at it."
After she finished speaking, she saw that the maid's face was blank, and she frowned: "Didn't you hear?"
The maid reacted and nodded hurriedly: "Miss Frigga, I'll go right away." She turned around and left the room in a hurry.
Xihe turned around and opened the closet, preparing to get some clothes to change. Suddenly he remembered that people in this period did not like to take baths. The bath scheduled for the 15th was still ten days away. He turned around helplessly and said, "Come here!"
More than two hours have passed since I cleaned myself up inside and out.
It was the first time that Xihe saw so much dust on a person's body. She couldn't help but think of the heroine and His Highness the Vampire. Are they also so dirty?
Hey, I couldn't bear to look at it for a moment.
Four stewards stood in the hall downstairs, anxiously waiting for the owner of the manor.
The curtains were all drawn in the gorgeous room, lit by rows of candles. Xihe went downstairs and sat down on a chair in the middle. After signaling the stewards to sit down, he began to tell them: "Don't approach strangers when 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 to look at the housekeeper.
The steward immediately distributed the crosses he bought from the old leader to everyone, including the slaves.
Everyone was baffled, but Xihe was the owner of the manor. Whatever she said was what she said, and everyone could only listen silently.
Seeing that it was done, Xihe turned around and went directly upstairs.
The old butler quickly brought the food up: "Little master, why are you doing this? Is it related to the accident you had a few days ago?"
His old face was full of worry. He was worried about the safety of his little master and his treasury. He had to remind her: "You don't have many gold coins left in your treasury."
The crosses sent out today cost a full gold coin.
Knowing that the average farmer's annual expenditure is only four thousand copper coins at most, he really can't understand the little master's behavior.
"It's related to the past few days."
Xihe confirmed his answer and looked at him seriously: "Brando, I got into a big trouble."
She selectively told him part of the truth, including that the person who assassinated her was the person who wanted to buy her manor, and the old housekeeper became furious.
"Little master, we will report to His Majesty right now and ask him to seek justice for us."
Xihe shook his head: "Useless Brando, the master behind him has a strong background, and even His Majesty may not be willing to provoke him. We can only get through the difficulties on our own now."
In fact, she was not afraid of Lester.
Although he is a royal highness recognized by the vampire, he is only as powerful as a marquis, so he may not be able to defeat her.
What she really found troublesome was Lester's subordinate. Gouzi had a bad start this time. She arrived so late that she was marked by someone else and became a mere ghost servant!
The ghost servant had no ability to resist at all when facing his master.
If she hadn't been cruel and stabbed herself twice a few days ago, she might not have been able to escape.
Although she had not felt any order or restraint in the past two days, the guy's existence was always a hidden danger. If he suddenly jumped out and kicked her during a duel between the two sides, she would be unable to resist at all.
She can only temporarily ask the housekeeper to get a batch of crosses to prepare, in case of a confrontation... She will never be manipulated by others even if she dies!
The eyes that were as red as red gems shone with an icy cold light. The old housekeeper shivered. What was wrong with his little master's eyes? Why isn't it better yet?
Seeing him trembling with fear, Xihe blinked and got rid of his coldness.
Smiling, he said, "Brando, how much money do I have? Take some and give them to your uncle and the others."
Brando was surprised for a moment, but he still did his duty: "There are five hundred gold coins left in your box, six thousand silver coins, and about seventy thousand copper coins... How many do you want to give them?"
Xihe was a little surprised. The original owner was so poor? But if you think about it carefully, it's actually pretty much the same.
The original owner liked to buy jewelry, gorgeous clothes, and attend various banquets. Old Hoja left her about 10,000 gold coins when he died, but in just two years, she spent almost all of them.
And it is natural that a young lady who is keen on socializing cannot care about the fields.
If you can't make ends meet all day long, the money in your pocket will get less and less.
This is really...
Xihe said directly: "Fifty gold coins."
She still needs to spend money on everything now, so just give her fifty, and wait until she has money in the future.
Xihe gave the order without any hesitation.
The old housekeeper hesitated: "But in this case, the dress you want to order cannot be bought. The cotton has matured and the next sowing season is coming soon. We need to save some money to buy seeds..."
"Then don't buy it!"
The butler's eyebrows twitched: "Little master, you have to 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 little master was actually willing to buy seeds instead of a dress? I was instantly moved to tears.
His little master has grown up.
Xihe: "..."
