In fact, it is very easy to be a housekeeper in the Li Mansion. There are not many masters in the family, because the Li family has a strict family style, and there are no concubines in the backyard. With fewer people, there are not so many messy things in the house , and the masters are all generous people, and they are given a lot of power. As long as there are no major mistakes, they generally don't care about it.
The butler has been in power for so many years, and he has some roots in Li's residence. He usually treats people generously, and doesn't care too much about big things and small things. Some people make mistakes, and the butler turns a blind eye. let go.
Therefore, in this Li Mansion, the housekeeper's prestige is actually extremely high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half the master.
After reading the ledger and finishing some important matters, the housekeeper went to the kitchen to see how the lunch preparations were going.
The chef in the kitchen is the housekeeper's nephew, he is generous and honest, because he was introduced by the housekeeper, so he works very hard when he starts to work.
Seeing the butler come in, the busy chef put down the kitchen knife in his hand and smiled silly at the butler.
"Uncle Liu, you're here."
The housekeeper nodded, and said with concern with a smile, "Aman, are you used to working in the kitchen? It's been hot recently, remember to drink plenty of water, and don't overheat yourself."
Seeing that the housekeeper cared about him so much, the chef was very happy, and when he noticed that the other helpers in the kitchen were looking at him, the chef was even more happy. They are all making faces for him.
"Thank you Uncle Liu for your concern, I understand, I will pay attention."
The chef couldn't help laughing, his chubby eyes were squeezed together, and his appearance became more simple and honest.
Seeing him like this, the butler nodded slightly, then turned his head and looked at the large iron pot on the stove next to him.
"Is this the soup for the guests?"
The chef nodded and said, "Yes, the master ordered it specially. I stewed it early in the morning, and the taste is already gone, Uncle Liu, how about I scoop up a bowl for you to taste?"
It's not time for dinner yet, what's the matter with the food he made for the guests
Naturally, the housekeeper doesn't know how to drink, but the chef also kindly wants to show respect, and he also received this kind of friendship.
"No, I haven't digested what I ate in the morning. I can't drink it now. You have a heart."
The butler walked around the kitchen, asked about the meals prepared for the guests, and then opened the seasoning jar to look at it. After confirming that there were all kinds of seasonings and there was no need to add them, he was relieved.
Before leaving, the housekeeper encouraged these people in the kitchen, and then turned and left the kitchen.
After the butler left, the servants in the kitchen started talking about the butler.
"Butler Liu is really kind-hearted. He doesn't show his face to us people. It's rare for him to be a steward in this world."
"Yes, I have worked in Li's family for more than ten years, and I know our Steward Liu very well. He is a very good man."
After several people praised the butler, some people changed the subject and talked about other things.
"However, Steward Liu is also a poor person. Back then, his wife had dystocia, and after a toss for several days and nights, she died of a hemorrhage in the end, and the child was not saved. Steward Liu has never married since then, and his surroundings are clean. There is not even a servant girl."
"Butler Liu is an infatuated person. I heard that he and his wife were childhood sweethearts. After his wife died, Butler Liu was overly sad and made a vow that he would never marry anyone else in this life."
"It's fine if you don't marry. It's a pity that you don't even have someone who knows the cold and the hot to serve you."
Hearing everyone's discussion, the chef was also very proud. Although the person who said it was not him but his uncle, the chef also felt a sense of pride.
At the same time, the chef also felt that his uncle had no children, and he was sent to work in Li's residence, and he was so kind to him, maybe he wanted to raise him as a son, and let him take care of him until the end of his life .
Thinking about it this way, everything before has a reasonable explanation.
But the chef doesn't have so many thoughts. He is a very contented person. The housekeeper treats him well, so he naturally wants to repay the housekeeper. Even if he didn't think of this level before, he actually intends to give the housekeeper to the end of his life. .
"Ah Man, the pot is on, it's time to roast the meat, hurry up."
The helper's voice called the distracted chef back, and he immediately responded, and hurried over to get busy.
The topic in the kitchen quickly changed to another, and everyone quickly talked about other things.
The chef was sweating like rain, shaking the iron pan, and sprinkled all the seasonings in with his hands and feet. A strong aroma filled the air, making his mouth water.
In fact, the chef was able to enter Li's residence because of the help of the butler, and another reason was that his cooking was really delicious. Otherwise, even with the relationship of the butler, he would not be able to stay.
It was almost lunch time, and the butler who came out of the kitchen was covered with smoke, his brows were wrinkled, and he looked down at the blue-gray brocade robe on his body, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
Although there are not many things to be done by himself as a housekeeper, there are still many things that he needs to see in person. Even if he wears the best clothes and smokes the best spices, he can't last long, and he will be killed sooner or later. The smell of other things was overshadowed.
In the final analysis, the butler is just a servant with a slightly nicer name, and he cannot be compared with the real master at all.
The smell on his body made the housekeeper feel very uncomfortable. After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to go back to his room and change his clothes. There is too little time now, otherwise, he would take a shower first to wash off the smell on his body before putting on clothes. Put on new clothes.
But this kind of life is not too long, and in a few days, he will no longer work as hard as he is now.
When the butler was changing his clothes, he suddenly felt a palpitation. He raised his hand to cover his chest, and his face gradually turned pale.
As the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, his status is actually very high. He has an independent small courtyard. The furniture in the house looks very ordinary, but whether it is the sour pear wood furniture or the sandalwood screen, you can see the owner's intentions.
The housekeeper felt very uncomfortable, he sat down with his back against the wall, smelling the faint sandalwood fragrance in the room, the throbbing in his heart gradually weakened, and after a while, he finally returned to normal.
The butler took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed it on his wrist, but he didn't notice anything wrong.
His body is very healthy, and it will not be a problem to live another forty or fifty years, but since he is in good health, why did he suddenly have heart palpitations just now
An extremely uneasy feeling arose in the butler's heart, as if something was about to happen, but he went over what he had done carefully, but he didn't find anything inappropriate.
Could it be that it was just an accident
****
When Li Yuanwai came out of the room, he was more than ten years old. He walked out of the room slowly with heavy steps. When he saw Qi Wang standing in the corridor outside the door, Li Yuanwai's expression A smile uglier than crying appeared on his face.
"Young Master Qi, you are right, people are sometimes worse than monsters."
Qi Wang looked back at Li Yuanwai, the expression on his face did not change much, he had already guessed the truth of this matter, and everything now was within his expectations.
"Miss Li said everything?"
Li Yuanwai nodded. If he hadn't been a bit rational, he would have already sent someone to dismember the culprit at this time.
It's just that even though he wanted to tear people into pieces, he still endured it for the sake of his daughter's reputation. How could he ruin his daughter's reputation after such a bad thing happened to her? If she lost her reputation, her daughter might not be able to live anymore.
When he heard the truth of the matter from his daughter, for a moment, Li Yuanwai actually hoped that it was the vixen who caused the trouble, and not the villain's plan.
At least the vixen sucks the human spirit, as long as the master is found to catch the monster, everything can be easily solved, and even if her daughter's reputation is damaged, it will not have much impact in the end.
If the villain is causing trouble, then what he intends is not just energy.
My daughter has been ruined by that person for so long, and she even has to cooperate with that evildoer to deceive others, but the treasure she holds in the palm of her hand is treated as a plaything and allowed to be ruined by others. After such a period of time, she should How much pain did you suffer
The Li Mansion is her home, her parents, brother and sister-in-law are all at home, and she lives right under their noses, but no one in the family finds out what she said happened, and she encounters this in a place that should be the safest. How desperate should she be for such a thing
That villain must be very proud at this time, he feels that he has played with all the members of the Li family, and feels that he has already surpassed the entire Li family.
How could he do such a thing thanks to their trust in him? Has his heart been eaten by dogs
Li Yuanwai was in a terrible mood, but he couldn't show it.
The reputation of the daughter's family is important, if this matter gets out, his daughter will never be a human again.
"Young Master Qi, please go back to rest first, and wait until I send away the master who is lingering at home, and then go to invite you?"
In fact, none of the so-called masters who came here could see that the troublemaker in his family was not a monster, but a villain. If they continue to stay here, they may cause trouble. Outsiders had no choice but to send people away.
Qi Wang didn't say much, nodded and went back to his guest room.
And Li Yuanwai is a very good man. He knew that he did not behave properly in asking people to leave. I want to express my heart with these gifts, and hope that the masters will not blame him.
The people left yesterday were capable in the first place. Naturally, they would not bear any grudges against Mr. Li because of these trivial matters. The gift he gave was very generous. Although it was not as good as the one thousand taels of silver, it did not let them run away for nothing. After a trip, these people left without asking any more questions.
After sending all the masters away, Li Yuanwai immediately ordered the nurses to seal off the Li family, and then sent a few confidantes down to arrest Butler Liu.
It is inconvenient for people to know what happened next, Li Yuanwai didn't let the servants stay inside the house, but asked them to leave the courtyard and guard, and they were not allowed to take a step closer to the main room.
The servants all signed the death contract, so naturally they didn't ask too many questions, and they followed the master's instructions.
Soon, only the Li family, Steward Liu, and Qi Wang who had just been invited were left in the room.
When he was captured, Steward Liu knew something was wrong. He wanted to escape before, but the servants looked at him too badly, and he couldn't escape at all.
When he realized that he couldn't escape, the housekeeper calmed down and didn't try to escape any more. He knelt quietly in the center of the hall. He had already fallen into this situation, but the housekeeper still had a face full of anger. The appearance of not caring.
Since he dared to do this at the beginning, he was not afraid of being exposed. Left and right are just a death, and he has no fear of death.
First Young Master Li and Second Young Master Li knew what happened from Mrs. Li's mouth. They loved their sister. After knowing this, if they still had some rationality, the two brothers had already rushed forward to kill her alive. The butler was beaten to death.
I originally thought that the fox demon was responsible for their family's affairs, but I didn't expect that someone pretended to be a ghost and deliberately misled people, and the person who did this was the housekeeper who watched them grow up. This is Li Dashao and Li Ershao. unacceptable thing.
"Liu Pingqiu, why did you do this? Why did our Li family feel sorry for you? Why did you do such a dirty thing?"
Li Ershao's temper is a bit more irritable. He is not much different from Li Fangfei in age, and he loves his sister very much on weekdays. I just wish I could take a knife and chop Liu Pingqiu into minced meat.
Liu Pingqiu has been the housekeeper of the Li family for so many years, and the Li family has never treated him badly. In Mingguang Town, there is no other housekeeper who lives as comfortably as Liu Pingqiu.
What is he dissatisfied with? Why did he want to harm his family
Liu Pingqiu knew that what he had done had been exposed, he remained silent, and put on a look of unwillingness to cooperate. He was sure that the Li family would not dare to make a big deal about this matter, so he was not afraid at all, and remained the same. It looks like the old god is here.
Seeing his reckless appearance, Li Ershao couldn't hold back his temper, stepped forward and grabbed his collar, and said angrily, "Liu Pingqiu, do you think I dare not beat you?" .”
Liu Pingqiu raised his eyelids to look at Li Ershao, with a slightly sarcastic smile on his face.
He was clearly provoking himself, Second Young Master Li's anger was rising slowly, he clenched his fist, and slammed it heavily towards Steward Li's face.
Looking at the fist that hit him, Liu Pingqiu still had a smile on his face, he didn't dodge or dodge, and let the fist hit his face.
He only heard a crackling sound, and Liu Pingqiu felt a sharp pain from the bridge of his nose, and the bright red blood gushed out instantly. With a scream, he fell to the ground and rolled continuously.
How could he feel pain? shouldn't...
Li Ershao's punch directly broke the bridge of Liu Pingqiu's nose, and he was in so much pain that he didn't pass out. After the pain was relieved, his mind regained some normal thinking.
Obviously in the past, after he was injured, he would bounce back to the person who hurt him, why this time, the rebound failed
Li Ershao originally thought that the butler was a stubborn stubble. After all, before he was beaten, his appearance was too unworthy of a beating. He thought he had some trump card, but he was so irresistible that he was knocked down with one punch.
Just when Li Ershao doubted his life, Qi Huang said calmly: "His hole cards are gone, you can just beat him up, he will hurt more than others."
After listening to Qi Wang's words, everyone present came to understand, it seems that Liu Pingqiu had some reliance before, that's why he was like that, now it seems that his reliance is gone.
Liu Pingqiu also heard what Qi Wang said, but what he didn't expect was that Qi Wang really had the ability to break his spell.
Seeing Li Dashao and Li Ershao approaching with clenched fists, as if they were going to beat him up, Liu Pingqiu immediately said, "Just ask what you want to ask, and I will know everything. do."
The person who was so tough before was now more soft than anyone else, but why did First Young Master Li and Second Young Master Li not attack him because of his words
The two brothers jointly attacked and beat Liu Pingqiu severely.
He has never been injured since he became a master of his technique, now being pushed to the ground and beaten, how can Liu Pingqiu bear it? He was beaten to the point of crying for his father and mother, begging for mercy non-stop, without any trace of his previous arrogance.
"Okay, Heng'er Shun'er, you two stop, if you fight again, you will die."
Seeing that the beating was almost done, Li Yuanwai stopped his two sons just now.
Beating Liu Pingqiu to death was too cheap for him.
