The Peerless Servant

Chapter 2: The Su Family's Hidden Worries



Su Linglong's tone was extremely cold, but Huo Chenan didn't think she was joking with him at all. He replied softly, "Yes," and then quickened his pace and fled out of the backyard. Su Linglong listened to the footsteps going away, and a blush rose on her frosty cheeks. She had never been seen naked by any man since she was a child, and this guy must not be forgiven lightly. Not long after Huo Chenan left, Xiao Cui came back trotting with hot water. As soon as she opened the door, a string of wet big footprints came into her eyes. The strange story she had just heard today appeared in her mind. It was rumored that there was a water ghost in the small lake in the back garden of the Su Mansion. It was in human form and dripping with water, and wherever it passed, it would leave water footprints. Xiao Cui was scared and exclaimed, "Miss!" "Stinky girl, why are you making a fuss?" A calm voice came from behind the screen. At this time, Su Linglong had regained the calmness and calmness of the head of the Su family. Xiao Cui was relieved when she heard the young lady's voice. She turned around the screen and asked anxiously, "Young lady, young lady, are you okay?" Su Linglong thought she was asking about her slip, so she said. "It's okay." But this did not dispel the little maid's doubts, so she walked to the young lady's bathtub and asked carefully while adding water. "No one came just now." Su Linglong was stunned, her face slightly red, but it was not obvious in the misty water. Then she said in a firm tone: "Who? No one!" "No... no?" Xiao Cui looked down at the large footprints extending to the edge of the bathtub, and then looked at the young lady's firm face, and remembered the strange stories she read during the day. Suddenly, her face turned pale, and the next moment, she fainted! "Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui!" Su Linglong was frightened by the maid's fainting. She hurriedly got out of the bathtub, quickly put on her clothes and rushed out to call for help. The backyard of the Su Mansion was in chaos tonight. … Huo Chenan naturally didn't know what happened later. He didn't know how much psychological trauma his footprints had caused to a young girl in her twenties. At this time, he was walking in the Su Mansion, sorting out everything that happened in front of him. Although he was not a person who could take things as they came, under such supernatural phenomena, there was really no better way except to make the best of it. He believed that with his wisdom and experience that were hundreds of years ahead of him, he would definitely be able to thrive here. But if he wanted to thrive and stand out, he had to first solve the problem of identity. His current identity was a servant of the Su family. Although the Su family is a wealthy family in Jinling, and the eldest lady treats the servants well, many people even want to be servants in the Su family through connections. The servants of the Su family also have a certain social status outside because of the Su family. But servants are servants. In ancient times, they belonged to the slave class. To put it bluntly, they worked for others and had no freedom at all. Even the killing of slaves was not illegal, and there was no human rights at all. Moreover, slavery is a lifelong system. It can be said that once you are a slave, you will be a slave for life. "What the hell is this bullshit rule!" Huo Chenan couldn't help but curse the injustice of the world. He must find a way to get out of slavery. He wants an era that belongs to him, not to become a wage earner. "For freedom, work hard and struggle!" Huo Chenan had to face a realistic problem just after he finished his chicken blood. The bed in the servant dormitory is a big bunk bed, and all the servants in the room sleep on the same bunk. The smell of feet and snoring made him tired of it. Huo Chenan found the spare servant's clothes, took off the wet clothes and went outside to cool off. He found his own bedding by memory, covered his head and fell asleep. ... In the fragrance of rice flowers, it is said that the harvest is good, and the snoring is heard... Early in the morning of the second day, the housekeeper Fu Bo took yesterday's expenses to the young lady for approval as usual. Only with the young lady's approval, the counter would withdraw the expenses for the day. But the young lady didn't seem to be in a good state today. When checking the accounts, she was always panting and had some dark bags under her eyes. This reminded him that he heard this morning that Xiao Cui, the young lady's maid, was infected with an evil disease and fell ill last night. It was the doctor that the young lady found overnight. It seems that the young lady was really tired. After reading the list, Su Linglong signed her name and used her own seal. "Young lady, please take care of your rest." Fu Bo said with concern and turned to leave. "Uncle Fu, is there a servant numbered 9526 in the mansion?" "9526?" Uncle Fu thought for a moment and then said, "Yes, this person is named Zhang San and is a chores." "Zhang San?" Su Linglong repeated in her mind, and felt that this name sounded very illegal. "Transfer 9526 to clean the toilet." Uncle Fu was stunned at first. Usually, the young lady treated the servants quite gently and rarely punished them. This 9526 must have made some mistakes. But usually he reported the servants' mistakes. This time, he didn't know what mistake 9526 made. This was his own dereliction of duty, so he asked carefully: "The old slave failed to do his job. I didn't notice the mistakes of my subordinates. Please tell me what he did wrong. I will definitely strengthen supervision in the future." "Uh..." Su Linglong was stunned. She couldn't say that she peeked at her bathing. Would her reputation still be worth it? "It's false." Uncle Fu was shocked! … It was not until the next morning that Huo Chenan saw Zhang San, the man who had caused "him" to hang on the beam.
