My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Xiao Xi stared at Bai Shaoqiu in surprise.

Her hands were still twisting a piece of clothing, and water was dripping from the clothes, and at this moment it was dripping a little more.

Anger gradually appeared on that slightly dark and sallow face!

Bai Shaoqiu had a deep memory of Xiao Xi's angry expression.

The freckles on both sides of her nose were trembling slightly!

Her cheeks were also moving slightly!

This is because of his status as a young master, Xiao Xi is trying hard to restrain herself from rushing up and beating him up!

Now he is the son-in-law of the prince's palace,

Don’t even hit me!

She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling as she suppressed the anger in her heart, but tears welled up in her eyes.

As a servant of the Bai Mansion, she was born in the Bai Mansion and grew up with this young master in the Bai Mansion!

Bai Mansion is her home!

Young Master is everything to her!

The master is the best master in the world!

The master treats every servant in the house well.

My grandfather has been a servant of the Bai Mansion for generations. He has always accompanied the master in traveling around the country to open a bookstore and do business. My grandfather is deeply trusted by the master and was appointed as the steward of the Bai Mansion by the master!

My father and mother were still servants in the Bai Mansion, but they left here at the master's command when I was young, and I haven't heard from them since then.

Grandpa doesn’t know either, he doesn’t know whether they are alive or dead.

From then on, he and his grandfather depended on each other for survival, and regarded the young master as his closest person!

She grew up serving the young master.

The master also had high hopes for his only son, hoping that the young master could study hard, read good books, take the imperial examinations, and become an official in the court.

Of course, this business was inherited by the young master.

But the master doesn't want the young master to do business.

My grandfather said this is called "if you are good at business, you will become an official."

The master has done a great job in business, and the best way for the young master is to enter the government!

Unfortunately, the young master just can't read.

It’s not that the young master doesn’t want to study.

During the three years of enlightenment at Shangling Academy, although Xiao Xi was young, she still clearly remembered that the young master was really studying very seriously and hard.

how...

He can't remember.

I can't write it.

I can’t understand it even more!

When he was seven years old,

It's midsummer.

I remember that it was by the lotus pond at Shangling Academy that the young master sat on the grass, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond and said to himself:

"I'm so stupid."

"Those words are like butterflies to me... They are flying, and I want to catch them, but I can't catch anything."

"Xiao Xi... I don't want to study anymore. Studying is too tiring, and the teacher's teaching is too tiring."

"Master Chen is a good man. He tried his best. Actually, I did my best too, but he didn't seem to know it."

"So what if you know?"

"It's been three years... and I still can't even read a single word."

“I feel like I’m useless…”

The young master stood up, looked at the setting sun in the sky and clenched his fists: "I'll see if I can spend money... If I can't even spend money, then I might as well die!"

That's how it should be.

The young master changed from then on.

He left Shangling Academy in the autumn of that year, at the age of seven, and he himself was... six years old.

He started spending money!

It took a full ten years!

The young master is extremely talented in this area!

He spent ten years squandering the Bai family's huge fortune and visited all the brothels, gambling houses, teahouses and wine shops in Xiling City!

The master and his wife were ultimately in despair.

Three years ago in the spring, the two of them left Xiling City together and their whereabouts are unknown.

The young master became more and more lawless. He threatened my grandfather with his life and forced him to sell the bookstore and printing workshop. It took him another two years to spend all the money again!

In fact, over the past ten years, the relationship between me and the young master has gradually become unfamiliar.

He went out late and came back late, indulging in a life of luxury and decadence, and could not hear what anyone said, whether it was his grandfather's or his own.

He used this method to prove that he was not stupid.

I just can’t read!

Last year, he was thrown into prison for beating someone up during a night out, and was only able to get out after selling his last ancestral home.

At that time, only my grandfather and I were left in the house, and the rest of the servants had already been dismissed by him.

It was his grandfather who took him back from the prison gate.

He lived here that year.

He had hardly stepped out of the wooden fence of the yard for the entire year.

He spent most of his time sitting in the corner of the wall and daydreaming...watching the sunrise and sunset, and the flowers blooming and withering.

Watch the swallows return and the bees and butterflies dance.

He said……

"Xiao Xi, I figured it out."

"I came to this world to collect debts... my parents' debts... and yours."

"I'm really a piece of trash!"

"I can't lift anything with my shoulders, can't lift anything with my hands, can't write... I can't even cook!"

"How about you teach me how to cook?"

That day he was lighting a fire in front of the stove and almost burned down the small thatched house.

He squatted in the corner and cried bitterly.

If his family didn't even have three feet of white silk, he would probably have hanged himself on the old banyan tree at that time!

Later... just a few days ago, the emperor issued an inexplicable decree, and he suddenly became the son-in-law of the royal palace!

Now he's back.

Wearing a white robe with cloud patterns.

He was carrying a green cloth sack on his back.

Handsome and elegant.

The spirit is completely different from before.

It looks really good...

It's almost exactly the same as when he was rich and powerful in Xiling City!

Xiao Xi couldn't help but worry and be afraid!

He asked to buy wine and Yu Ji's braised chicken himself...it was very expensive!

My grandfather and I only earn this little money by working as servants for others for a month!

He's going to spend it all when he comes back...

It’s better not to come back!

Just when Xiaoxi was angry but dared not speak, Bai Shaoqiu reached out a hand and rubbed Xiaoxi's head.

This gesture is very intimate.

This is something that the young master of the past did not have.

"Master, I have money!"

"then!"

Bai Shaoqiu handed the saddle bag to Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi let go and the clothes in her hand fell into the wooden basin, splashing water.

She took the sack and saw the young master sitting on the small wooden stool in front of the wooden basin.

He rolled up his sleeves and said calmly:

"This money was earned honestly by the young master. The weather is getting hot soon... Nanyun Silk Shop has just received a batch of material."

Xiao Xi widened her eyes in shock. It wasn't that the material was new from Nanyun Silk Shop, but that the young master actually put his precious hands into the wooden basin and started washing clothes!

Xiao Xi swears to heaven!

Young Master has never done this kind of work in his life!

Even though he had nothing last year, he still never did this job!

What kind of blow did he suffer?

"I don't know how much cloth I need to buy to make a dress... I'll make two for one, and then make two for Uncle Fu..."

As Xiao Xi was looking at him in shock, Bai Shaoqiu bent down and really started rubbing the clothes!

"When you buy the material, remember not to buy green... Then go ask Tailor Zhou to take your measurements and make you a dress... You're sixteen now, it's time to dress up, or you might end up unmarried."

Xiao Xi's face turned red, and then she heard Bai Shaoqiu say:

"Go ahead, I can do this job. I have to go back to the academy to read in the afternoon...Will Uncle Fu be back at noon?"

"Well, grandpa will be back at noon."

"Master,"

"Ok?"

"You said... go back to the academy to read?"

"Ok!"

Xiao Xi's heart became nervous again:

"Is it because the palace treats the young master badly... and drives him out?"

"If that's the case, Master will come back and live here."

"Grandpa said that although this place is poor, it is the young master's home!"

Bai Shaoqiu's heart suddenly warmed up. He turned his head and looked at Xiaoxi and smiled:

"It's not like they were kicked out... Put the silver away and go quickly."

"Oh!"

Xiao Xi hurried into the house carrying a heavy sack. After a moment, a scream came from inside!

Bai Shaoqiu turned around and saw Xiao Xi running out like the wind, with fear in her eyes!

"Master...was that silver stolen from the palace?"

"Grandpa said, no matter how poor you are, you must have ambition!"

"Don't steal!"

"Return the silver quickly!"

"Otherwise...otherwise...the palace will definitely not let you off easily!"
