Chapter 216 The servant is bullying his master!
Chen Jizhou withdrew his raised hand, his face cold: "You have no right to drive us away. This house was bought by the old master for the young master."
Dongfang Jin sneered as she took out the property deed from her sleeve and spread her hands out: "This house is mine. Have you taken a good look at the name on it?"
When Gu Chenglin arranged for you to move in, he acted first and informed you later. All the food and drink you've had these days has been paid for with my money.
I don't care who you are, where you come from, or who told you that this house was bought for Gu Chenglin by someone else.
But I want to tell you, I can support them if they behave themselves, but not now.
She had already given the money to Gu Chenglin for the house, because Gu Chenglin had said that he didn't want anything from the Hua family.
Because he had never been to the capital, and he had older siblings from the same mother, he didn't want them to misunderstand and think that he was after their family fortune.
When Gu Chenglin told her these things, she agreed, so she took the silver and asked him to count it out and give it to Feng.
She didn't want to be controlled by others. As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to him, and he who eats another man's food is bound to him."
She's not without resources; there's no need for her to be held back by others and lose her head for the rest of her life because of that little thing.
She established Lingyun Pavilion and invested in it under the name of Gu Chenglin, so that she could receive dividends from any of the stores.
Although it's only 10%, it's all pure profit, enough to ensure their family of four has no worries about food and drink.
Looking back at the other two little ones, I noticed that they showed no fear whatsoever and were watching the whole thing with great interest.
Yes, he's certainly worldly-wise.
Meng glared at Dongfang Jin and snorted coldly: "Do you really think we want to live in this godforsaken place?"
Chen Jizhou packed his things and left.
Chen Jizhou stared at Dongfang Jin, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt: "You'd better understand your place. Young Master can't stay here forever. When you go back, you'll still have to rely on us."
Dongfang Jin responded with the same disdainful and sarcastic tone: "Thank you, but we are afraid we don't need to, and we are even less worthy of it. No matter how capable you are, you are nothing more than slaves."
Chen Jizhou pointed at Dongfang Jin: "You..."
Dongfang Jin waved his hand, as if shooing away something dirty: "Go away, go away! I don't keep you here."
Chen Jizhou flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't regret it. Don't come begging us later."
Dongfang Jin stood up, stared at the two of them, and sneered: "I have not fallen to the point of begging a servant, and I will not now, nor will I ever."
Seeing Meng take out a large bundle and spread it on the kang, Dongfang Jin smiled and said, "Oh, right, when you came, you brought a small bundle with you."
If I'm not mistaken, these were all bought with my money.
Since you look down on me, a peasant girl, I suppose you wouldn't want these things either, would you?
She hadn't given them this much money before. This fox pelt must be worth a lot of silver, right?
[Jin-jie, I've put all those things into my spatial storage.]
You have such skills?
Hehe, I just discovered that the Ruyi Realm has grown even bigger, this time it's a full foot larger.
However, I can only collect items within about five meters of you; beyond that, it won't work.
【That's impressive. If you have time, keep taking things out of the freezer. Let's continue doing good deeds.】
It's been confirmed this time: if she and Ruyi do good deeds together, Ruyi's realm will expand.
By the way, have you grown taller?
[No] Ruyi was somewhat frustrated.
Actually, it looks quite nice like this. No rush, I've only been here a short time, right?
[Yes] Ruyi gritted her teeth. Her height was her Achilles' heel, which she could already avoid, but her master still brought it up, which made her unhappy.
Chen Jizhou glared at Dongfang Jin and sneered, "Hmph, a mere orphan girl from a peasant family, she's still eating and drinking on the money my master gives her."
"When you return to the capital, even if the second young master doesn't give you a divorce decree, you'll likely become a concubine!"
"You're wrong. I've never spent a single penny of Gu Chenglin's money, nor have I accepted any aid from your so-called master."
You probably look down on Gu Chenglin deep down, don't you?
If you don't like it, why force yourself to suffer?
We're just here to guard our house. What, do you really expect us to treat you like royalty?
I'm telling you, we don't need any more men in our family, so get lost.
Chen Jizhou was so angry that his fingers trembled as he pointed at Dongfang Jin: "You...you bastard...you just wait."
"Waiting for what?" Zhao Yuming entered the courtyard with a gust of wind and heard Chen Jizhou say this angrily.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Madam Meng walked over and obediently bowed to Zhao Yuming: "Master Zhao, it's not this one..."
Dongfang Jin: "..."
Ha! This is truly the behavior of a lowly servant!
Zhao Yuming's gaze toward Meng Shi and Chen Jizhou was like that of an ancient, frozen well, its cold light flashing, chilling and profound: "Slap them!" His words were as sharp as the winter wind.
Seeing the uninvited guests, Dongfang Jin raised his hand and said, "Stop. If you want to fight, go outside. This is my home, and you are not welcome here."
"What's going on?" Feng stared at Chen Jizhou, who was like a cold current, with icy eyes and an indifferent tone.
The man behind them stood there quietly, like a cold wind from a high mountain, clear and refreshing, carrying a sense of aloofness that made him unapproachable. He was Cangying.
He was sent by his young master to ask Miss Dongfang Jin some questions. He met these two people at the entrance of the alley and followed them in.
Before the Chen couple could speak, Dongfang Jin snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "The servant is bullying the master!"
They said that their master bought the house to help Gu Chenglin.
They told me to be polite, because one day when I go back, my family will still have to rely on them to survive.
I went back to my own home, and it's been half a day since I got back, and I haven't even had a sip of water yet.
I don't know if Gu Chenglin brought them here to be doormen or to act like royalty.
After saying that, he stepped aside and pointed to the large kang (heated brick bed) in the room: "Look at this, look at the kang, look at the cabinets, and look at all the furnishings in this room. Is this what a servant should have? Is this a place he can live in?"
When I, the owner, returned to my own home, the main gate of the courtyard was locked. Isn't that funny?
When Gu Chenglin told me that two people would be living here, this wasn't what he told me.
He said that whenever I come to stay, he will make sure the house is tidy and organized.
"Look, is this what they call proper? My son has been awake for half a day, have they even paid their respects? Have they offered a single word of concern?"
Zhao Yuming stepped into the house and looked at the things inside, including several exquisite hot water bottles and a charcoal brazier filled with smokeless silver charcoal.
The quilts, mattresses, and clothes were all made of silk, and there were two pieces of fine fur on the side.
Ha! He hasn't even reported Jin Yulou's messy accounts to the Duke of Ningguo yet!
When he learned that they had been assigned to serve Gu Chenglin, he felt that the Duke of Ningguo had not considered the matter carefully.
But Chen Jizhou had been by the side of the Duke of Ningguo since childhood, so he could still distinguish between those who were close and those who were distant.
Feng followed in and saw the things as well. He stared at Chen Jizhou with a sharp look in his eyes: "You pawned these things in this house?"
“Commander Feng, I…I…it was all Meng’s idea,” Chen Jizhou said hurriedly, pushing Meng.
Upon hearing this, he stood there, his entire body seemingly enveloped in ice, his eyes as cold and sharp as a sword blade, sending chills down one's spine, as if even the air itself was frozen by his aura.
"Chen Jizhou, do you remember what your master told you when you came here?"
Chen Jizhou trembled and knelt down with a thud: "Commander Feng, this old servant was wrong. Please forgive this old servant this time, for the sake of the old servant who once saved his master."
