The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 870

I had no idea how Xu Tian knew about this.

"Does the steward still intend to deceive me?"

The butler was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty!"

It seems that Xu Tian already knows everything.

Even if he lies now, it won't help.

It will only make one's guilt greater.

Therefore, he had no choice but to admit to everything.

This way, lenient treatment can be obtained.

“Your Highness, it is this servant who has no conscience. If it weren’t for the fact that my family needs money right now, my son would die if we didn’t have the money to treat his illness.”

"I had no choice but to do this."

"Moreover, because my son fell ill, my wife also fell ill."

The butler, a grown man, suddenly started crying loudly on the ground.

They learned that not only was the housekeeper's son seriously ill, but now even his wife was in critical condition.

The housekeeper has truly realized his mistake.

He knew he had let Xu Tian down.

He was prepared to atone for his sins with his death on the spot.

Xu Tian stopped him directly.

“Since you are a member of my royal family, if something happens in your household, you should come to me, not to those outsiders.”

The housekeeper felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this.

However, the things he did had truly hurt Xu Tian.

If it weren't for Xu Tian's intelligence.

They saw through their scheme.

He's probably already in jail by now.

He felt extremely guilty.

If it weren't for my own actions, this wouldn't have happened.

Although neither time did Xu Tian get hurt.

But he buried this matter deep in his heart.

Xu Tian helped the butler up.

"Come, take me to see your family."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's concerned tone, the butler immediately noticed.

His guilt intensified.

"Your Majesty!"

He was about to speak when Xu Tian stopped him.

"There's no need to say anything more. Let's pretend this never happened. From now on, as long as you behave well in the palace and make amends, I will not pursue the matter further."

After saying that, he went with the butler to visit the butler's family.

Seeing their bare walls, Xu Tian frowned slightly.

He then ordered Song Ren.

"Take some silver to buy some necessities, and then invite a doctor back."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's actions, the butler immediately knelt on the ground.

A stream of snot and tears.

"Your Highness, it is this servant who has wronged you!"

“This servant has already done such a thing, but I did not expect that you would not only not blame this servant, but also give this servant money.”

The butler then tried to atone for his sins with his death, but Xu Tian waved his hand and knocked the kitchen knife out of his hand.

"You have so many family members, do you really dare to abandon them? If you die, who will take care of them? Are you planning to leave them all to me?"

The housekeeper was filled with shame.

The whole person collapsed on the ground.

I have absolutely no idea what to say.

He could only feel immense hatred for Li Shen in his heart, and gratitude towards Xu Tian.

After finishing his business here, Xu Tian quietly left his house with the butler.

After returning to the Prince's residence, the group quickly went into the study.

"Your family has been fully settled, and the doctor will visit you every few days."

Xu Tian said to the housekeeper.

The butler knelt down on the ground once again with a thud.

This time, Xu Tian did not stop him.
