Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 123: Collision with Evil
"I know."

Daya was extremely satisfied. "Thanks to Sister Fuyu, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enter the dining hall. Sister Hongxing, I'll tell you the truth. In fact, I've never been full. Only after entering the dining hall did I know what it felt like to be full."

Hong Xing's eyes were curved with laughter.

"Yes, so we must treat Sister Fuyu well and never cause any trouble for her."

Hong Xing was more attentive and knew that Shen Fuyu had helped them. Instead of taking advantage of his power to bully others, she tried her best to do things to the best of her ability to avoid gossip.

"Sister Hong Xing, Sister Daya!"

Shen Fuyu's clear and pleasant voice came from not far away. Hong Xing and Daya turned around immediately and saw Shen Fuyu jogging towards them in light green clothes.

"Sister Fuyu!"

Hong Xing's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately placed a stool and motioned Shen Fuyu to sit down.

"Sister Fu Yu, I just mentioned you to Sister Daya and you came here." Hong Xing smiled with her eyes curved.

Shen Fuyu was also very happy to see Hong Xing, whose aura had completely changed. She was completely different from the Hong Xing who was a little shrinking and didn't dare to speak loudly when they first met her.

I suddenly felt very emotional. It was not long since I entered the mansion, but it seemed like a very long time had passed.

"Sister Fuyu, you seem to have grown taller."

Daya subconsciously compared her height with Shen Fuyu, and found that Shen Fuyu seemed to be one or two centimeters taller than usual.

"Of course!" Shen Fuyu straightened his chest.

The original owner had been malnourished for a long time and was shorter than his peers. Therefore, Shen Fuyu paid special attention to his height and made sure to balance his meals. In addition, Shen Fuyu practiced martial arts and exercised regularly, so he would naturally grow taller.

"Sister Hong Xing, Sister Daya, are you used to it?"

Shen Fuyu blinked his eyes. Hong Xing and Daya had no experience as housekeepers. Shen Fuyu gave benefits to the housekeeper so that they could become housekeepers.

Of course, Shen Fuyu is not a good person, it’s just that Hong Xing and Daya treat Shen Fuyu sincerely, and Shen Fuyu happens to need an informant.

"At first, we were not used to it and felt awkward, but as time went on, we got used to it."

At first, Hong Xing's identity could not be changed, which led to the sisters who were originally servants often taking advantage of Hong Xing's position as the manager to be lazy and slack off, and there was a tendency to bully others. Hong Xing was worried that it would bring trouble to Shen Fuyu. Hong Xing, who was originally timid and dared not speak loudly, suddenly became stern and gave the bullying maid a severe lesson.

Because of this, Hong Xing and her former sisters completely distanced themselves from each other.

Although there were some complaints about the treatment of Hong Xing, fortunately no one dared to be lazy.

"That's good. If there's anything you're not used to, be sure to tell me in time."

The three of them briefly reminisced about the past, and then Shen Fuyu got down to business.

"By the way, Sister Hong Xing, Sister Daya, what kind of person do you think the Second Master of the Shen family is?"

Shen Fuyu was very strange.

Mrs. Shen was very concerned about the fight for the housekeeper's power and did not see the second master of the Shen family during the whole process.

It can be said that Shen Fuyu has never seen the second master of the Shen family since he came to the Shen Mansion. He doesn't know what kind of person the second master of the Shen family is or what attitude he maintains.

Although she didn't know why Shen Fuyu was asking about the Second Master of the Shen Family, Daya still spoke honestly. "The Second Master is an official in the imperial court and hasn't been home for a long time. I'm not sure where he's working, but it seems to be quite remote."

"I don't know what the Second Master's personality is like. Anyway, I've been in the Shen Mansion for such a long time and have never seen the Second Master lose his temper. It is said that the Second Master has a kind character and is a good official who truly cares about the people."

Even though Daya has been in the mansion for a long time, she doesn't know much about the second master of the Shen family.

After all, the second master of the Shen family is not at home all year round.

"What do you think, Sister Hong Xing?"

Shen Fuyu did not make any judgment, but instead set his eyes on Hong Xing.

Under Shen Fuyu's gaze, Hong Xing slowly spoke, "Second Master is a good man. In the past, Second Madam Shen had a bad temper and liked to beat and scold the servants whenever she was slightly unhappy. Second Master Shen got so angry about this that he almost divorced Second Madam."

"The Second Madam has finally calmed down a bit, but the Second Master has been an official away from home for many years, and the Second Madam's original personality has gradually come out again."

"Like what happened recently, if the Second Master was at home, he would never allow everyone to bully Madam Shen like this."

Hong Xing sighed softly, feeling very sympathetic towards Madam Shen's difficult situation, but she was just a servant.

Shen Fuyu nodded, believing the second master of the Shen family's evaluation to some extent.

"Sister Fu Yu, are you worried about Madam Shen's matter?" Hong Xing keenly sensed Shen Fu Yu's emotions.

Even though Hong Xing stayed in the outer courtyard and was just doing odd jobs, and did not get involved in the master's family's affairs, she still heard the rumors.

"Yes." Shen Fuyu's heart moved, "Sister Hong Xing, I just came back from the academy. I don't know much about the Shen family's head. If you have any news, please tell me."

Hong Xing's face slightly changed, and she lowered her voice and said to Shen Fuyu: "Sister Fuyu, actually... the clan leader is not unconscious!"

Shen Fuyu suddenly raised his head, his eyes became extremely sharp as he looked at Hong Xing.

The whole person's aura became a little sharper, and Hong Xing was a little dazed.

Shen Fuyu noticed that Hong Xing was a little scared, so he immediately restrained his aura and grabbed her hand, his tone excited.

"Sister Hong Xing, what's going on?"

Hong Xing swallowed her saliva and felt very scared when she thought about the scene she had accidentally witnessed.

"Sister Fuyu, I only discovered this by chance and haven't told anyone." Hong Xing clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said cruelly, "Sister Fuyu, I trust you, so I chose to tell you this. You must keep it a secret for me, otherwise I will bring disaster upon myself."

"Sister Hong Xing, we've known each other for such a long time, and you still don't believe me?"

Shen Fuyu's eyes were clear and transparent without a trace of impurities. Hong Xing looked at her and easily believed Shen Fuyu.

"The night before last, I wasn't feeling well and was wandering around outside, hoping to find something to do. I happened to see someone in a red costume and heavy makeup performing in the garden. I thought I'd seen a ghost, and I was so scared I instinctively wanted to call for help."

"I never expected to see the clan leader's personal servant carefully taking the female ghost back. I didn't understand why, but I was so scared that I didn't dare to make any sound. I could only hide in the corner and watch silently, waiting for the servant to leave before leaving."

"At this time, the ghost girl turned her head, and I saw his pale hair. Even with the heavy makeup, I could tell that this person was the clan leader."

"The coma was fake, just to cover up the fact that the patriarch was possessed by evil spirits."
