136 The heart is not enough for a serpent to swallow an elephant
Steward Cheng's eyes widened, as if he had been struck by lightning.
It's a man who likes beauty, and that Ming girl is indeed a beauty. But the most unbearable thing is also the grace of beauty. He is just a housekeeper, even in the Cheng family, but in the final analysis, he is just a servant. And that Ming girl, although nominally just a woman sent by someone else, has no name and no points. But the identity of the person who sent her is not simple. Miss Ming was clearly spent a lot of energy* out and was specially given to the masters. And if he is a subordinate, if he dares to do it......
Thinking of this, Steward Cheng's legs couldn't help but soften, and the cold sweat on his forehead was even more rinsed.
"Less...... Master...... Minions, minions are old...... What's more, Miss Ming was given by the Seventh Master, you, you transfer him to ......" Steward Cheng held the last ray of hope and wanted to use the identity of the Seventh Master to suppress Young Master Cheng.
But Young Master Cheng didn't want to listen to him, so he directly interrupted: "What, isn't the housekeeper happy?" According to what the housekeeper said, that bright girl is beautiful and wise, but she is just serving you. The housekeeper has worked hard in the house for many years, and his wife died early, so there is a great lack of one to take care of him. Now Ben Shao is in charge and has rewarded the girl with Naming. ”
Young Master Cheng smiled kindly, and said, "By the way, if the housekeeper doesn't say it, Ben Shao has forgotten." The housekeeper has worked hard for many years, and Ben Shao has never given the housekeeper any vacation, so just take this opportunity to go to the countryside with Miss Ming to retire. ”
Is this even going to lose the position of the housekeeper?
Steward Cheng couldn't stand anymore, his legs were weak, and he collapsed directly to the ground.
"What's the matter, butler?" Young Master Cheng didn't seem to be able to see his horror, and asked with a surprised expression. But what he asked was obviously not Steward Cheng, but a small guy who stood aside and served at some point.
"I guess it's joyful and ruthless." The little guy replied in a low voice, his voice was a little rough, and it was not at all as clear as a teenager should be.
This little guy looks a little weird. He was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes. And although he was wearing only the simplest coarse linen clothes, his posture was extraordinary, and he didn't look like a servant at first glance. The most peculiar thing is that half of his face was destroyed.
Look at the ruined scar, it was evident that it was burned by the flames. But the other half of his face was intact.
If you only look at the good half, although this person's appearance is not as good as that of Young Master Cheng, who is like a god, he is also better looking than ordinary people, and it can be seen that if he is not disfigured, he will be a handsome young man.
At this time, the house is brightly lit, but where there is light, there are naturally shadows. The young man seemed to be afraid that his face would scare Steward Cheng, so he hid the destroyed half of his face in the shadows.
However, even so, when Steward Cheng saw the young man, he still had a frightened expression like seeing a ghost.
The burned half of the young man's face was terrifying and hideous like a ghost, but his intact face was normal......
However, Steward Cheng obviously doesn't think so.
"It's you, you're still alive?! How could it be you?! He muttered to himself over and over again, but his body kept moving back at a brisk pace.
But in the blink of an eye, he had retreated to the door.
The door of the house was not closed, and if Steward Cheng wanted to leave, he only needed to take a few steps back to leave.
But Young Master Cheng and that young man obviously wouldn't let him go so easily.
"It seems that the housekeeper is really happy, look at this impatient appearance." Young Master Cheng smiled lightly and said, "Since this is the case, Chen Ning, you can help Steward Cheng." Cheng Er is already waiting outside, so you can take Steward Cheng with you. ”
Chen Ning replied in a low voice, half-hunched and retreated, from beginning to end, he carefully hid the other half of his face in the shadows.
Young Master Cheng looked interesting, "You don't have to hide it, it's not like I haven't seen it." ”
"The slave has a rough face, and he must not defile the eyes of his master." Chen Ning's posture was very low, he had his own momentum, obviously his identity was not a simple servant, but from this moment, it could be seen that he was indeed sincere and respectful to Young Master Cheng.
"You......" Young Master Cheng smiled and didn't say anything more.
But over there, Steward Cheng saw that Chen Ning was getting closer and closer, but he was unwilling to be arrested, and shouted loudly, "Young master, young master, you just spare the slave, for the sake of the slave who has taken care of you for so many years." Just spare me! ”
"Spare you?"
In the silence of the night, such a loud shout is most obvious. Young Master Cheng was still in the mood to joke, but now that he thought that this voice might wake up someone in the house, he suddenly lost his mood.
His expression froze.
"Young Master Ben originally just planned to send you to the countryside, but now that you are looking for death by yourself, Young Master Ben can fulfill you." Young Master Cheng's tone was still so slow, but his voice was so cold that it almost froze Steward Cheng.
Especially what he said later, it made Steward Cheng, who still had a glimmer of hope, completely disappear without a trace.
"How much money did that so-called Ming girl give you to make you so bothered to say good things in front of Ben Shao, Ben Shao didn't bother to investigate. And you accepted bribes from other people who tried to slap the Cheng family, and Young Master Ben didn't bother to care. But you should remember Chen Ning, right? Do you remember why he was disfigured? ”
Steward Cheng was silent, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
Of course, he still remembered Chen Ning. Even though it was ten years ago, he remembered it vividly.
Because Chen Ning impressed him too deeply......
Ten years ago, Young Master Cheng was just a six-year-old child. Although the Cheng family's family business is as rich as the country, it is a pity that Young Master Cheng's parents died early, and the elders in the family were unable to find them due to accidents. So the Cheng family's industry fell into the hands of Young Master Cheng.
But what can a six-year-old do?
So Steward Cheng, who was still young at that time, almost grasped all the rights of the Cheng family.
Steward Cheng is a house slave left by Young Master Cheng's father, and when Master Cheng is still alive, he is naturally loyal. But the wealth is moving, and it is still the almost inexhaustible property of the Cheng family.
So after a long time, Steward Cheng was tempted.
At first, just move a little bit to make yourself more comfortable. But after a long time, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, let alone people like Steward Cheng, who are not satisfied, after seeing too much of the luxurious lives of those rich and noble children he has come into contact with in the past, he also began to yearn for such a life.
With so much property in his hands, why can he only be a subordinate and keep so much money for a child......
