Dressed as a super rare female, being chased and pampered by the big guys

In the study, there was total silence, as if one could hear a pin drop clearly.

Manager Ding knelt on the ground, his face pale. Beside him, Ding Shuo was tied up like an animal waiting to be slaughtered, his body soaked with cold sweat.

A drop of sweat slid into his eye, stinging him and making him blink reflexively, but he didn't care about the insignificant pain. His blood rushed up due to nervousness, his face was hot, his hands and feet were cold, and he shivered uncontrollably.

After being beaten and driven out of the house, he learned his lesson and became much more obedient than before. But after recovering from his injuries, he gradually returned to his old ways.

However, after only two days of being arrogant, misfortune struck him again.

At five o'clock in the morning, Ding Shuo was having fun at the gambling table all night when a group of guards from the Duke's Mansion suddenly broke into the gambling house and kidnapped him without saying a word. Before he could come to his senses, he was escorted here.

When he saw his uncle kneeling and Zong Shouyuan sitting on a high seat, he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him, drenching him from head to toe.

The painful memories of being beaten that day came flooding back to him, and Ding Shuo was frightened out of his wits.

He already knew that the lady had never fallen out of favor, and was not a useless beauty. The young master had real feelings for the lady and loved her in every way, but he was so stupid as to deduct her food...

Sir... Will you ask someone to beat him to death? !

With all the stupid things he did, if his uncle hadn't secretly helped him, grass would have grown on his grave by now! !

But he could not escape the fifteenth day. He still could not escape...

In despair, Ding Shuo was shaking like a sieve. Manager Ding took a deep breath and knocked his head heavily to the ground, "I have deceived my master, and I deserve to die."

His master had already instructed him to take good care of the lady. He was to blame for the neglect of the lady, especially since it was his nephew who did it.

Even if his wife had said that he didn't need to tell the master, he should still have apologized to the master, but he was hoping for a lucky break and kept the matter a secret. He has been in a constant state of panic ever since, and today his crime was finally exposed.

"I will leave my subordinate to whatever you do with me, my master. I only beg you to spare my life..." Steward Ding begged for mercy while kowtowing repeatedly.

He knew from his master's expression that this matter would never end well. He would accept any punishment, but Ding Shuo was the last blood of his Ding family and his only selfish desire, so he wanted to protect him.

Zong Shouyuan looked down at the uncle and nephew with a cold look in his eyes.

He was often away from home fighting, and rarely lived at home. He was used to leaving all the affairs of the mansion to his subordinate Ding Jianlong, like a hands-off boss. Over the years, nothing went wrong.

Ding Jianlong is his confidant, and he trusts him very much, but he ignores the existence of Ding Shuo.

"Logically speaking, Ding Shuo is no longer a member of this mansion, so I have no reason to punish him," Zong Shouyuan said calmly.

Before Steward Ding could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly changed the subject, "But he has close contacts with the spies that Prince Bao has planted in the mansion. What do you think we should do?"

Hearing this, Manager Ding's face turned pale, "He, he didn't mean to..."

He closed his mouth halfway through his defense and swallowed back all the pleas for mercy that followed.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ding Shuo had been playing cards with Prince Bao's spies over the years, and had been deceived into bragging and selling information related to him. This was the truth.

This reason alone was enough for the master to take Ding Shuo's life, not to mention that he neglected the lady, and the master must have hated him deeply.

At this point, there seems to be no room for struggle.

Steward Ding closed his eyes in despair and heard his master's cold voice ordering, "Beat Ding Shuo to death with a stick, call everyone in the mansion to watch the execution, lock up Ding Jianlong, and let Luo Qing take his place."

In just a few words, fate is decided.

Wailing sounds echoed throughout the courtyard, and the smell of blood filled the cold air. The servants in the mansion held their breath and tensed their skin. Some felt happy, some felt terrified, but everyone had the same thought in their hearts -

Never neglect your wife.

They knew very well that the reason why Ding Shuo fell into such a situation and even implicated his uncle was because he had no tact and offended the person he should not have offended.

In the crowd, Aaron stood beside his master, looking at Ding Shuo who was being tortured in a miserable state, and shook his head and sighed secretly.

Others might not understand, but he knew it very well that his master was not a cruel and merciless person, whether before or after being injured. He rarely dealt with his servants unless it was necessary. Some of the guys who were dealt with in the mansion before were spies planted by Prince Bao, and the other part were pawns used to deceive the public. They were not really executed, but were secretly sent elsewhere.

Using the excuse of "suffering a blow and having a drastic change of temperament", the master cleaned up everyone in the Duke's Mansion. As for people like Ding Shuo who had accidentally leaked some insignificant information, the master did not care, but turned a blind eye and chose to let them go.

But there are people who seek death themselves.

Ding Shuo is stupid and Ding Jianlong is also confused. When it comes to their master's wife, they even dare to deceive him. They have crossed their master's bottom line. Even gods cannot save them.

Seeing that Ding Shuo was dying, Aaron calmed down, took a half step forward, and prepared to deal with the aftermath.

"lady?!"

The crowd suddenly cried out in surprise.

The executioner stopped subconsciously.

Zong Shouyuan was shocked all over and turned his head in disbelief, just in time to meet Nian Tu's eyes.

After standing still for two seconds, he quickly stepped forward, took Nian Tu's hand, and used his tall body to intentionally block her sight so as not to pollute her eyes.

"You, why are you here?" The young male had never thought that this side of himself would be exposed in front of his beloved. He was at a loss for a moment, and all the hostility in his eyes disappeared. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

Nian Tu patted the back of his hands twice to comfort him.

Having experienced the wars of the interstellar era, the end of the world on Earth, the fights among wild beasts on the grassland, and the bloody battles of the primitive era, her ability to withstand stress has become very strong and she is not frightened by such scenes.

Even though her face was calm as usual, Zong Shouyuan still stood in front of her, with no intention of retreating, and said in a dull voice, "Don't plead for him, Nian Nian."

Once Nian Nian spoke, he would not be able to refuse her request and would definitely follow her wishes and let Ding Shuo go.

But if he didn't kill this damn guy, he would not be able to quench the anger in his heart.

"Who said I want to plead for him?" Nian Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I want to deal with him personally, is that not okay?"

When she woke up early in the morning, she heard that the gray wolf was killing the servants. She was so frightened that she quickly got out of bed and asked around before she found out what had happened.

It was just that he missed a meal for her. Even if it was done out of malicious intent, it was just a trivial matter in her opinion and not a capital crime. She thought there was nothing wrong with Manager Ding's previous handling of the matter, but Gray Wolf was obviously not satisfied.

Nian Tu glanced at Ding Shuo, who was barely breathing on the punishment bench, and said with a sigh, "Leave him alive and leave him to me."

There are many ways to deal with this kind of guy, including ideological education and labor reform, and any one of them is more appropriate than taking his life like this.

It is rare to find an accounting assistant as useful as Manager Ding. He has been loyal to Grey Wolf for many years and cannot be discarded because of such a small matter.

Zong Shouyuan couldn't persuade Nian Tu to make the decision, so he had to nod and agree.

The doctor in the mansion was an excellent doctor and he followed the instructions and kept Ding Shuo alive, preventing him from dying.

But he was beaten half to death, and it would be difficult for him to recover without resting for a year or two.

"Calculate the consultation fee and the money for the medicine clearly and record it in his account," Nian Tu instructed the medicine boy.

Hearing this, Manager Ding, who was following beside her, lowered his head in shame and immediately reached into his wallet, "I'll pay..."

The madam was magnanimous and saved Ding Shuo's life from the master. She also restored him to his original position. From now on, his life also belongs to the madam. He is willing to die for the madam. If he disobeys her, he will be struck by lightning.

"You don't have to pay," Nian Tu raised his hand to interrupt him, "Let Ding Shuo pay for it himself."

She raised her eyes and glanced at Manager Ding, "He is already an adult and should be responsible for everything he does."

"Spoiling a child is like killing him." She retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes, picked up the account book and looked through it. "Manager Ding is a reasonable person, he will understand this principle."

It is because the uncle doted on his nephew too much that his nephew grew up to be ugly.

"Madam is right," Ding said, feeling even more ashamed, "but he really has no ability. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to pay off the debt by himself."

Ding Shuo had been turned into a useless person by him. It's not that he didn't regret it, but there was no way to save him.

With so many expensive medicinal materials, even without interest, Ding Shuo would probably not be able to pay it back in ten, twenty years... in his lifetime, so he still had to rely on his uncle to help. Could he really just ignore him?

Nian Tu waved his hand and said, "Whether he can pay it back or not, he has to pay it back himself."

There are no skills to learn and no money to earn. As long as he cannot pay off his debts in a day, he has to work non-stop. All the money he has is used to pay off his debts, except for maintaining his basic livelihood.

In this case, he has neither money nor time, so what can he use to play or gamble?

After understanding what Nian Tu meant, Manager Ding's eyes gradually brightened.

"After he recovers from his injuries, he will need some pre-job training and education before starting work," Nian Tu added.

During this time, she planned to train a group of teachers, some of whom would teach literacy and ideological education, while others would teach basic mathematics, physics and chemistry. Although those were all strange and clever skills that were generally looked down upon by people of this era, there would always be people who were interested in learning them.

If she didn't know the emperor well, she wouldn't have done this, lest she get into trouble. But since the emperor was a family member, she could feel free to explore the technology tree. She was idle anyway, and she didn't know how long she would stay here, so she might as well do something.

Science and technology are important, but ideological education is equally important.

"Until Ding Shuo's ideological performance is up to standard, he cannot go to work," Nian Tu said with a smile.

If he can't work, he can't earn money. As long as he can't pay off his debts in a day, the mansion will only provide him with the most basic and simple meals. If he doesn't like to eat, he will starve.

A guy who is so greedy for pleasure will definitely not be able to bear to eat coarse food all his life. He will work very hard just to have a bite of meat.

"Yes, ma'am," Manager Ding said with admiration in his eyes.

He didn't quite understand some of the words his wife said, but that didn't stop him from understanding her thoughts.

What a genius!!

Lying on the sickbed, Ding Shuo clenched his teeth and groaned in pain. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back and shivered.

He took it for granted that the chill was caused by the injury and could not foresee what was about to happen to him.

……

A heavy snow fell, covering up the mess on the ground and the solemn atmosphere in the courtyard, and the Duke's Mansion returned to peace.

The teahouse was bustling with people. The waiter was busy like a spinning top. The hot tea on the table was emitting wisps of smoke, which dispelled the cold.

In the elegant room of the high pavilion, a young man in gorgeous clothes half-closed his eyes, surrounded by servants who were waiting attentively. Some were rubbing his legs, some were massaging his shoulders, some were playing music, some were singing, and some were dancing. It was very lively.

The sound of gossip could be heard faintly from downstairs. A few rich playboys were boasting, a few peddlers were talking about their hard work this year, and a few ruffians were playing cards and arguing over a few copper coins.
