Reborn: All beasts recognize their master, dig up the divine bones
Chapter 1797: Hypocritical Face
"Grandma Nangong, I asked for leave from the housekeeper this morning, but he refused. He said that if I leave, I will be expelled from the palace. Without the income from the palace, I can't support my mother." Cui'er burst into tears.
"Cui'er, get up first. I'll go talk to the Third Prince." Nangong Xi looked at Cui'er and said.
"Thank you, Grandma Nangong." Cui'er wiped her tears with gratitude.
"Aunt..." At this time, Shi Qian and Shi Shen came over together.
"You came at the right time. Cui'er's situation is special. You should give her a few days off so that she can go back to take care of her elderly mother." Nangong Xi looked at them and said.
"Just tell the housekeeper about such trivial matters." Shi Qian was a little confused.
"The housekeeper didn't agree to her request for leave, and her mother is blind. If she didn't bring food back, her mother probably wouldn't survive." Nangong Xi said.
"That's impossible. The housekeeper has always been kind..."
"Sir, it's true. The butler is only kind in front of you. He is always harsh to us servants. Cui'er was so angry when she heard this.
"This..." Shi Qian obviously didn't believe it.
"How about this, Cui'er, you go ask for leave from the housekeeper again, and we will follow you in stealth and see how the housekeeper reacts." Nangong Xi looked at Cui'er and said.
"Okay." Cui'er nodded repeatedly after hearing that.
So Nangong Xi and a few others followed Cui'er in stealth and came to where the housekeeper was.
At this time, the butler was punishing several servants.
I saw several servants being tied up and whipped, while the housekeeper sat calmly drinking tea, with a look of condescension in his eyes.
Shi Qian and the others had never seen this side of him before.
"Butler..." Cui'er walked over and knelt down in front of the butler.
"What? Do you want to be whipped too?" The butler looked at her with contempt.
"Butler, my mother is blind. Without me bringing her food, she really can't survive. Please give me a few days off so I can go back and take care of her." Cui'er pleaded.
"Isn't it better if you can't live? I won't drag you down. If you want to leave, no one will stop you, but don't come back in the future." The butler replied.
"Butler, I beg you, without the income from the palace, my mother and I can't survive." Cui'er pleaded.
"Do you really want to save your mother?" The housekeeper looked at Cui'er with a lewd face.
"Yes." Cui'er nodded.
"If you stay with me for one night, I will give you a few days off, how about that?" The housekeeper said, looking her up and down.
Cui'er shuddered all over when she heard that!
"Butler, this isn't okay. How can you do this?" Cui'er was so scared that she took a few steps back.
"Compared to your mother's life, spending one night with me shouldn't be a big deal, right?" The housekeeper glanced at Cui'er coldly.
Shi Qian and Shi Shen, who were hiding nearby, were so angry when they saw the housekeeper's true face that they trembled all over.
He actually relied on his power as a steward to do evil.
"Butler, aren't you afraid that the prince and the others will find out about what you did? And what about them? They probably didn't do anything wrong, they just can't pay the kickbacks you stipulated." Cui'er suddenly stood up and pointed at the butler and questioned.
"The prince and the others? Do you think they believe you or me? And they deserve to be beaten for not paying the bribe." The butler looked calm and composed.
When the beaten people heard this, a trace of sadness flashed across their eyes. Although they had been bullied by the housekeeper for a long time, they had no choice but to endure it in order not to lose the income from the palace.
"Butler, don't be so proud. Your death is approaching." Cui'er pointed at the butler and said.
"Death date? Do you believe that I will kill you first?" The butler's face suddenly became sinister when he heard this.
"I don't believe it." Cui'er shook her head.
The butler suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed Cui'er.
But before he could stab Cui'er, she was kicked away.
After kicking the butler away, Nangong Xi and the others lifted their invisibility and appeared in front of everyone.
"Prince, Miss, Grandma Nangong, why are you here?" Seeing Nangong Xi and the others, the butler was completely panicked.
"Why can't we be here? Butler, I thought you were a kind person, but I didn't expect you to do such vicious things behind my back." Shi Qian's eyes were cold.
"Prince, it's not like that, it's not like that. Please listen to my explanation." The butler said as he crawled towards Shi Qian.
At this time, the Third Prince, who had received the notice, also rushed over.
Shi Shen told the Third Prince what had happened.
"Butler, you have been in my Third Prince's Mansion for nearly ten years. I didn't expect you to hide so well." The Third Prince's eyes were full of disappointment.
"No, Your Majesty, I can explain, I can explain." The butler wanted to come over and hug the Third Prince's legs but was kicked away.
"Come here, thoroughly investigate all the evil deeds done by the butler and his men." The Third Prince ordered.
As soon as the Third Prince finished speaking, a figure left.
Upon hearing this, the butler collapsed to the ground.
"Let them go." Shi Qian pointed at the tied people and gave the order.
"Thank you, Prince." After being released, those people said weakly to Shi Qian.
Nangong Xi took out some healing pills and asked Cui'er to feed them.
They are all poor people struggling at the bottom of society. When they meet someone like the housekeeper, they have no choice but to endure it.
"Thank you, Grandma Nangong." After the few people took the elixir, their whip wounds healed immediately and they were all full of energy.
At this moment in their eyes, Nangong Xi was their savior.
Not long after, the Third Prince's secret guard came back, and in just a short while, he had investigated all the evil deeds done by the butler.
This secret guard is also a cultivator. Because the Third Prince has done him a favor, he stays by the Third Prince's side to protect him when he is not out looking for enemies.
When the Third Prince saw the evil things these stewards did, he was so angry that he trembled all over.
It was because of their trust that they gave the butler the opportunity to do evil and caused those people to suffer from the butler's abuse.
"Butler, you deserve to die." The Third Prince looked at the butler coldly.
"Your Highness, I was wrong. I will change. I will definitely change. Please give me another chance." The butler begged the Third Prince.
The Third Prince took out his sword and stabbed the butler in the heart.
"An evil person like you does not deserve my forgiveness." said the Third Prince.
Upon hearing this, the butler swallowed his last breath with reluctance on his face.
As for the money that the steward had tried to extort, it was all kept in his house.
It can only be dealt with after the cultivator has resolved this matter.
Nangong Xi saw this and found it an eyesore so he simply burned the butler's body.
At this time, she saw the soul of the housekeeper glaring at the Third Prince with a ferocious face and looking very resentful.
Nangong Xi simply grabbed it and crushed it, putting an end to it once and for all.
"Cui'er, go and gather all the servants." The Third Prince said to Cui'er.
"Yes, Your Highness." Upon hearing this, Cui'er hurriedly gathered the servants.
