Chapter 136 Working and chatting
"Hello, uncle!"

"Hello, uncle!"

As soon as Cheng Yaozu walked out of the courtyard, he met many servants cleaning the courtyard, and they all greeted him consciously.

He behaved politely in front of outsiders, and he accepted the request in a cheerful manner.

"Hey, remember to scan the corners carefully."

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

The servant nodded and bowed repeatedly, writing down his instructions.

"I know, uncle, we will be careful."

Cheng Yaozu nodded with satisfaction, and then hurriedly walked outside.

When Cheng Yaozu's figure disappeared at the end of the path, the servants started talking quietly.

"My uncle is so kind. He has always been kind to us for so many years. I have never seen him get angry with anyone."

"That's it, but such a good person doesn't have a happy family."

"It's the same with the eldest lady. She's so mean-spirited and runs so far away."

The man was sweeping the dead branches and leaves on the ground while responding to his companion's questions.

"I don't know. The eldest lady has been eating, drinking and having fun for so many years, but now she suddenly changes her temper and wants to take over the family business. Although there is nothing wrong with being sensible and reasonable, I don't know how many things have happened because of this idea. Now What’s more, even the people are gone.”

"Earlier, the relationship between my uncle and the eldest lady has always been good. Although it has become cold recently, my uncle will be very worried about the young lady."

"Well, a husband and wife live in love for a hundred days. These are not things that we servants should care about. We still hope that the eldest lady can be found soon, otherwise, big changes will definitely happen in this family."

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, blowing away the fallen leaves that had finally been collected.

The servant didn't have time to complain, so he quickly took the broom and swept the fallen leaves to one place again.

His hands were busy, his mouth was not idle, and he continued to chat.

"But, I heard that the eldest lady was kidnapped by bandits... Even if she can be rescued, I'm afraid..."

"Do you know...sigh..."

The two started to talk but stopped several times. It was inappropriate to discuss the master in the house.

Although they lowered their voices, they still felt somewhat guilty.

What's more, this kind of thing involves the issue of a woman's innocence, which is really hard to talk about directly.

"I know that the eldest lady is also suffering. Mr. Qiu is still ill, and now something like this has happened to him again."

"Really, what does that word mean... misfortunes never come alone... Yes, yes, yes, misfortunes never come alone."

"I'm afraid my uncle hasn't had any rest recently. Seeing that he's walking in a hurry, he must be thinking of a solution."

"If you can still stick with me when you encounter something like this, you can be considered a good man."

The scattered fallen leaves were swept back together, and the two found the right time to pack up.

After the place was cleaned, the two carried their utensils and walked inside.

"Tell me, if the eldest lady won't be back for a while, will the business now be left to my uncle to take care of it?"

"It's possible that although my uncle married into the Qiu family, he has been here for several years in a blink of an eye. He is more or less familiar with the situation of the Qiu family and the shops."

"Master Qiu definitely doesn't want to give up looking for the eldest lady so soon. Before that, he should be managed by my uncle for a while."

"It's not bad if my uncle comes to take care of the house. At least for us servants, he is a wise master."

"Isn't that right? We people just want to have enough to eat. As long as the owner's family is good, we can keep doing it."

……

But compared to the outside, the inside is much cleaner.

After a brief sweep, the two went to other courtyards.

Xiaodie hid inside, always paying attention to what was going on outside, afraid that someone would break in.Although there is no order from Cheng Yaozu, servants are generally not qualified to enter the room to clean.

But Xiaodie has a guilty conscience and is afraid of causing misfortune.

Fortunately, the two servants were only responsible for simple cleaning and had no intention of coming in to clean.

After hearing their leaving footsteps, Xiaodie's tense body gradually relaxed.

She heard clearly what those people said in the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard.

These servants probably couldn't imagine the good man they called Cheng Yaozu.

Last night, Zheng and the maids in the mansion were in harmony with each other in his and Qiu Wanying's bedroom, enjoying the joy of rain and clouds together.

Xiaodie naturally heard those words, and she couldn't help but feel some secret excitement in her heart.

Unknowingly, he took Qiu Wanying's place and performed the duties of a wife on her behalf.

The previous threats seemed to disappear in a puff of smoke, replaced by her unknown pride.

Qiu Wanying's life and death are unknown at the moment. Even if she is rescued, she will only be a ruined flower with no chance to show her face.

Cheng Yaozu gradually took control of the Qiu family's business, and his good days were about to come.

Even if she is just a concubine in the back house, it is better than the life of a maid.

Xiaodie has already begun to imagine the scene where the maids who were against her in the past had to come to serve her.

Thinking of this, Xiaodie couldn't help but snicker.

They are also groveling and trying to please their master. They are not the same thing as Cheng Yaozu.

As long as she takes care of Cheng Yaozu, everything will be easy.

To some extent, Fluttershy is not pitiful.

After she saw Cheng Yaozu's true face clearly, she still chose to plunge headlong into this unrealistic dream.

A dream that she thought was complete and happy.

In fact, all these are just castles in the air, and Cheng Yaozu is the foundation underneath.

Once Cheng Yaozu falls, everything she hopes for will collapse.

Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, it will be her own fault.

"Boom boom boom——"

The door was suddenly knocked three times. Xiaodie was startled and too scared to speak.

"Xiaodie, I left the clothes for you at the door."

When Xiaodie heard her brother's voice, she excitedly came to the door.

"Brother, is that you?"

Ah Fu originally only wanted to help Cheng Yaozu this time, so he took the money and took Xiaodie away.

Find a village with beautiful mountains and clear waters, live a stable life, and no longer have to wait for others.

But he never expected that his seemingly honest sister would be so courageous.

He is so old that he dares to seduce his master alone late at night, hoping to achieve success and live a wealthy life.

Xiaodie's ambition is outside Ah Fu's plan, but Xiaodie is Ah Fu's only sister, and he can't leave for his sister's sake.

This morning he wanted to say goodbye to Cheng Yaozu, but the other party informed him of this.

Ah Fu knew about this.

After today, he can only continue to run back and forth for Cheng Yaozu.
