Chapter 9 Behind the Scenes

 It can only be said that Zongren Mansion is really a Qingshui Yamen.

As Xiao Pingzi was a fairly easygoing eunuch, Zhao Sheng almost turned over everything in his room, but only found twenty taels of broken silver.

To be honest, twenty taels of broken silver is a lot for Zhao Sheng, but if it is placed in the palace, it will not make a sound even if it is thrown out.

Seeing that nothing could be found, Zhao Sheng had no choice but to return to the General Office with Xiao Guizi.

Xiao Guizi is just here to join in the fun. She doesn’t care what she finds, she just thinks it’s fun.

Returning to the General Office and meeting General Manager Hai, Zhao Sheng presented the bulk of twenty taels of broken silver.

Since Mr. Hai asked him to clean up the room, he made it clear that he wanted to give him benefits.

So Zhao Sheng dared to keep a little for himself.

Twenty taels of silver was too little for Mr. Hai, so he didn’t ask for it and gave it all to Zhao Sheng.

But he didn’t have to, but Zhao Sheng had to give it.

The rules and etiquette must be in place.

Zhao Sheng offered Xiao Guizi a few more taels of silver, but Xiao Guizi also didn't want them.

He has followed Mr. Hai since he was a child, has good food and clothing, has no worries about money, and looks down on this little money.

In this way, Zhao Sheng happily accepted these twenty taels of silver.

If you accumulate little, you will make more. If you save slowly, you will always have money.

Zhao Sheng wrapped the silver and put it in his arms. He felt that the sun was much brighter today.

It’s just that some are happy and some are sad.

Zhao Sheng is happy here, but You Zongyuan is gloomy.

In a small house, Xiao Liuzi lay on the bed and moaned.

I could still scream last night, but this morning I could only breathe out, not in.

Beside the bed, there was an unworthy eunuch serving as a handyman. Seeing that Xiao Liuzi was in danger, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Xiao Liuzi kept sweating on his head, and the handy eunuch didn't stop for a moment and kept wiping it with towels.

It seems that doing this will make Xiao Liuzi feel better.

Xiao Liuzi suddenly became so angry that his whole body began to twitch and his eyes turned white.

The handy eunuch quickly grabbed Xiao Liuzi's hands and feet to prevent him from falling off the bed.

"Brother Liu, hold on a little longer, Brother Li has already gone to find Mr. He."

The handyman eunuch shouted anxiously.

He couldn't help but not be in a hurry, he just followed Xiao Liuzi around on weekdays.

The handy eunuchs in the palace are worse than dogs. Ever since he climbed onto Brother Liu's lap, he has become quite popular.

If Brother Liu leaves, where will he be better?

So yesterday when Brother Liu was brought back on a stretcher, he was the first to rush forward, as if his parents were dead.

Xiao Liuzi was foaming at the mouth and talking nonsense.

The handyman eunuch was so anxious that he almost cried. After a while, he turned his head to the door to see if the savior had arrived.

Finally, someone opened the door.

"Brother Li, you are finally here!"

The handyman eunuch stood up anxiously and saw an adult wearing a red unicorn suit following Brother Li.

He is thin and has a sinister look on his face, with a condescending air.

"Meet the General Manager."

The handyman eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground again, not daring to raise his head.

This gentleman is none other than General Manager He, who is in charge of all the eunuchs in Youzongyuan of the Zongren Mansion!

"How is Xiao Liuzi?"

Xiao Lizi passed over the handy eunuch and ran to the bedside. When he saw Xiao Liuzi's miserable state, he was shocked.

"This...this...before I left just now, Xiao Liuzi wasn't like this."

"Prince Ning is in the ninth level of the acquired world, and even a little bit of hostility is something he can't bear."

A sharp and unpleasant sound sounded from behind.

Xiao Lizi quickly turned around and knelt down: "Please save Xiao Liuzi's life."

Mr. He walked up slowly, glanced at Xiao Liuzi, and said calmly: "Maybe it can be saved, but it will take a lot of our family's energy, which is tiring."

He didn't even want to check Xiao Liuzi's pulse.

Xiao Lizi lowered his head and knelt on the ground, saying: "Xiao Liuzi only went to the prison to find that little beast after getting orders from adults..."

Since he entered the palace, he has made good friends with Xiao Liuzi. The two supported each other, and they were able to get along well in the Qingshui Yamen of Zongren Mansion.

Now that Xiao Liuzi was injured like this, in addition to being filled with hatred for Zhao Shengruo, he was actually filled with grief.

He told Mr. He that Xiao Liuzi was working for him, and he just wanted Mr. He to show his kindness and save him.

This matter was already overstepping the mark, but he had no other choice.

Mr. He turned his head sideways, squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "Are you teaching us how to do things?"

Xiao Lizi's whole body was shaken and he shouted quickly: "I don't dare, a villain."

"For the sake of your loyalty to our family, I won't punish you this time."

Mr. He turned around and moved the mutton-fat jade finger on his right thumb with his left hand.

"When Xiao Liuzi dies, send him home and take some money from the house to comfort his family."

Mr. He looked indifferent and had pronounced Xiao Liuzi's death sentence.

Xiao Lizi's heart was so sad that she didn't dare to say anything.

The handyman eunuch on the side was anxious, and heard Mr. He's instructions again.

"Let this young man take over the position of Xiao Liuzi."

The handyman eunuch was immediately overjoyed and kowtowed several times: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

That's how it is in the palace, whether it's warm or cold, it's easy to forget when you turn around.

Mr. He walked out of the room and patted his clothes left and right, as if walking into this room made him feel very unlucky.

Xiao Lizi gathered his composure, followed up, bowed his head, and asked: "Sir, what should I do with Xiao Shengzi?"

Zhao Sheng, a boy with great fortune, was able to survive in the hands of Prince Ning because he was taught secret skills by Mr. Hai, and he even deliberately used violence to injure Xiao Pingzi and Xiao Liuzi.

"This little beast definitely did it on purpose, adults can't let him go."

Xiao Lizi said bitterly.

Mr. He glanced at him, waved his sleeves, and knocked him to the ground.

"Have you forgotten what you just said?"

Little Plum turned over in pain and kept kowtowing.

"The villain knows his mistakes, and the villain knows his mistakes."

"The little beast learned the Star Absorbing Technique and was able to absorb Prince Ning's violent energy. But when he came out, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he released his violent energy.

Do you think he did it on purpose? Do you have evidence?"

Mr. He said indifferently.

Xiao Lizi was speechless for a moment and murmured: "But...but..."

"You have always been good at talking. That's why our family tolerates you. Don't be too ignorant. Do you think our family doesn't know what you are thinking?"

Mr. He sneered and said: "It's just two young eunuchs who died. Our family is very generous.

I missed a move this time. The days are long, and I will slowly start playing with the little beasts and Ebigui again.

That’s what makes it interesting!”

He grinned, his laughter was sharp and unpleasant, very arrogant.

Xiao Lizi has been following Mr. He for many years, how could he not know what this adult means.

Xiao Liuzi died in vain.

Mr. He had already walked away. Xiao Liuzi turned around and saw the handyman eunuch dancing and dancing, while Xiao Liuzi had already died.

He clenched his fists, feeling filled with hatred.

"Zhao Sheng!"

……

Zuo Zongyuan, Zhao Sheng sat in the room and sneezed.

"Immortal bodies can also catch colds?"

Zhao Sheng murmured, then closed his eyes and meditated, his energy sinking into his Dantian.

There is nothing wrong with you, so why not do an experiment?
