The next day, Mo Chuchen followed the original owner's habit and went to see the infant Xia Ling.

This little guy was fat and white, and when he saw people babbling and yelling vaguely, the little maids who took care of Xia Ling were amused.

Looking at the little maids, Mo Chuchen frowned slightly.

These maids are all too young, the oldest is only fourteen years old. If something happens to the child in the future, I'm afraid they won't be able to control them.

After watching for a while, he entered the study room and began to practice calligraphy and reading.

Soon, the housekeeper led several servants to report that they had bought some ewes in the market and asked the master to take a look.

The butler's name is Lin Hui. He is a domestic slave who grew up with Xia's father. He doesn't have any bad intentions towards the original owner. Also because he is one of his own, the butler manages a large part of the Xia family's finances. The original owner is also very confident about the butler.

.

"Uncle Lin, you are the son of the Xia family, right?"

Mo Chuchen was not in a hurry to go out to look at the sheep. He put down the brush in his hand, raised his head and looked seriously at the unattractive middle-aged man in front of him.

When the original owner was obsessed with Feng Qingling, this housekeeper tried to bring him back to the right path.

Unfortunately, he didn't succeed in the end, and he was beaten to death by the original owner's best relatives because he wanted to help the original owner defend a field.

Because he was a domestic slave, the housekeeper's death did not bring any jail terms to the best relatives. He only compensated the original owner with enough money to buy a slave.

"Yes."

Hearing the master's inquiry, Lin Hui answered honestly without going into too much detail. He and Xia's father were ignorant when they were children, and they were brothers for a while. When they grew up, they served Xia's father dutifully, and later Xia's father became a man.

After marrying the master, he became the butler...

Mo Chuchen thought for a moment.

Children born in a family are the children of domestic slaves. According to the regulations of country F, the children of domestic slaves can only be domestic slaves from generation to generation, but this does not mean that domestic slaves can only be domestic slaves forever.

As long as there is enough money, domestic slaves can be redeemed.

Considering the housekeeper's character of always looking after the interests of the Xia family, conflicts with top relatives are probably inevitable.

"All five members of your family have been slaves in the Xia Mansion for many years. Now I am the only one left in the Xia Mansion. I am thinking that it is better to go to the government office to cancel all your family's slave status, so that you can do something else in the future.

.”

Lin Hui was shocked when he heard this. He knelt on the ground and shouted: "Master, don't think that you can't think about your wife leaving! If we don't serve you, we don't know what we can do!"

"You can still be a housekeeper in the Xia family, but you have canceled your slave status and are no longer a slave who can be killed by others. It's not that I can't think of it, sir. Don't get excited."

Mo Chuchen quickly pulled the person up from the ground.

"Really? How can such a good thing exist in the world? Could it be that the master was stunned by reading the things in the gossip?"

Lin Hui was not moved at all, but became even more suspicious. The job of a housekeeper is rarely given to outsiders. A master who behaves like this looks particularly unreliable!

"Come, let's go see the sheep first."

Hearing the butler's blunt words, Mo Chuchen rubbed his forehead and made no further attempts to explain to the butler.

There are always some weird things in this era, such as domestic slaves who can be killed easily, but most of the children of the family always have a mysterious loyalty to the master's family.

They are also often proud of being domestic slaves of a certain family.

The existence of this thing is reasonable, and Mo Chuchen has no intention of challenging it.

He just wanted to help this loyal butler.

[Strange, this branch did not gain points, but gained some merit. 】

The little system looked puzzled.

"The original owner didn't feel too sad after the housekeeper died, because in his heart, the housekeeper was just a domestic slave. As a master, the original owner didn't have much affection for the house slave. In his opinion, everything was reasonable.

On the contrary, my behavior was unreasonable. He did not save this person in his subconscious wish, so it is impossible for me to get points for this matter."

While admiring the not-so-unique scenery of the Xia family, Mo Chuchen's face was calm and he secretly responded to Xiao System's doubts in his heart.

The ground of Xia's house was paved with stone slabs, and it was not too muddy when walking. He quickly came to the only garden that was not paved with stone slabs. Some of the colorful flowers in the garden were delicate and delicate, some were in bud, and butterflies were dancing on the petals.

I fluttered my wings, and occasionally a few sparrows jumped out from the green grass and spread their wings high.

The two ewes bought by the housekeeper were locked in a wooden cage, chewing the branches and leaves next to them with a calm expression. When someone came over, there was no panic in the eyes of the sheep.

"Let's keep them in the garden from now on. Boil the goat's milk in the morning, noon and evening to feed the young master, and then find some old slaves with children to take care of the young master..."

Mo Chuchen was very satisfied with the condition of the ewe. It was not a sick sheep.

"It's not hard to find the old slave, but..." The housekeeper looked around, but hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Mo Chuchen asked.

"Sir, if the ewes are kept in the yard, the flowers in the yard will suffer..."

The slave who was responsible for taking care of the garden looked embarrassed. This sheep was chewing leaves so happily in a cage. If he let it out, wouldn't it destroy all the flowers?

The servants were talking, and when they saw the master frowning slightly and lowering his head in deep thought, they thought the master was planning something, so they all looked at it eagerly.

Finally, Mo Chuchen looked at the housekeeper and said gently:

"There's no use keeping these flowers. Throw them away and replace them with fruits and vegetables that are easy to maintain."

Don’t scholars these days not love flowers, plants or fruits?

The servants were puzzled. Although they felt sorry for the flowers and plants in the yard, the master had already spoken, so naturally they had no choice but to agree.

After solving the garden incident, Mo Chuchen began to cancel all the "life-long" slaves in the mansion.

His move shocked all the servants in the house.

Since his wife left, the master's behavior has become more and more strange. Could it be that he wants to become a monk?

Fortunately, Mo Chuchen only restored them to their civilian birthplaces and did not take any further steps. Otherwise, these slaves might hold his legs and persuade them not to become a monk with tears and runny noses...

On the fifteenth day after Feng Qingling left, the Xia family, which had always been peaceful, finally welcomed its first best relative, Zheng Wuliang, Xia's mother's brother.

The Zheng family was a small businessman, and Xia's mother's brother was a gambler. In the memory of the original owner, whenever this uncle came, he would definitely come to borrow money.

As for paying back the money? Haha, I’m afraid it’s money that hasn’t been seen for years and months.

"Where is my nephew? Why are you here to entertain him? Do you look down on me?"

Zheng Wuliang was welcomed into the hall by the butler. While sipping tea, he looked at the surrounding decorations and asked the butler sarcastically.

Butler Lin Hui was a little surprised by Zheng Wuliang's appearance.

Ever since the master married a strong wife and returned home, this nominal uncle has never dared to step in for fear of being beaten!

It seems that the news of the wife's departure has spread, otherwise the unprofitable master would not come here.

Lin Hui, the housekeeper, was full of dislike for this person. He thought for a while and replied respectfully: "How can I dislike him? It's too late to welcome him! No, I have already ordered someone to inform the master. Please wait.

wait."

"Okay then, I guess you know the truth."

Zheng Wuliang didn't pay too much attention to the butler's words. He focused more on the furnishings in the hall. His eyes became more and more greedy as he looked at them.

He said that this nephew was also lucky. He was deceived in his early years and his family had very little money, so he married the daughter of a prefect.

Not only did this tough woman bring a generous dowry, but her earning power was also top-notch. Within a year, the furnishings in the hall were made of gold, silver and jade.
