"The butler has arrived"
A sharp voice sounded, and everyone looked at the door.
When Liu Jun heard this voice, the back of his hand became lumpy. It was the kind of voice that the eunuchs in the palace used to make.
“Butler?” Chu Ying looked ugly.
This butler is said to be a butler, but his status is very high, because the butler used to be the chief guest of the Yuan family. Later, something happened, and he changed his identity and became the chief butler of the Yuan family.
As the footsteps approached, a group of fair-skinned people walked into the yard. The reason why they were said to be fair-skinned was because these people's faces were powdered and looked particularly white when illuminated by the sun.
The leader is a short, fat, middle-aged man with a chubby figure, like a walking roly-poly.
"I've seen the great housekeeper" A group of people saluted one after another, even Qiu Keqing, Yuan Hao, Chu Ying and other people with high status in the Yuan family were no exception.
Of course, Liu Jun and others will definitely not salute, and the butler is not qualified to ask them to salute.
"Second Madam, eldest son, this old slave is polite." The eldest steward bowed slightly, very politely.
"Butler, these people" Yuan Hao said anxiously, wanting the butler to help out.
Just after saying a few words, he was interrupted by the butler waving his hand.
"My eldest son, the eldest lady asked you to go to her place. She has something to tell you," the eldest steward said.
"But, but this" Yuan Hao looked unwilling. It would be so embarrassing if he left like this. Today's beating was not in vain.
“Young Master, there are some words that I don’t want to repeat a second time.” The butler’s face instantly darkened.
Yuan Hao trembled and immediately called his men to leave.
Of course, before leaving, Yuan Hao did not forget to say harsh words, "You remember, if you have the ability, you will leave Liberty City immediately. As long as you are still in Liberty City, I will find an opportunity sooner or later." I'll kill you"
After saying that, he left the yard as if he was running away.
Although he is arrogant and domineering, he is not stupid. Although he wants revenge, he definitely cannot beat him now.
"Qiu Keqing, the master of the house also wants you to go there." The chief steward glanced at Qiu Keqing, who was covering his chest, and said in a calm tone.
Qiu Keqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded with an ugly expression and left.
"Second Madam, I have disturbed you, and also several guests. The old servant took the initiative without permission and asked the kitchen to add some dishes, which will be delivered in a while. This can be regarded as an apology to all the guests." etc. After everyone left the yard, the housekeeper said with a smile.
"Sorry to trouble you," Chu Ying replied.
"No trouble, I will not disturb the second lady and the guests. If you have any questions, please come to me and I will leave first," the butler said politely.
"Okay, thank you, steward," Chu Ying said.
"You're welcome."
The butler came and left just as quickly. He left in just a few words.
But everyone knows that this matter is not over yet. With Yuan Hao's character, he will definitely find ways to get revenge, but do Liu Jun and others care? not give a damn about.
To be honest, if Liu Jun didn't care about exposing his identity and didn't want to be discovered when he was weak, he could have let the black bear spirit massacre the entire Yuan family. Of course, he was not that incompetent.
After everyone left, the dishes mentioned by the butler were served one after another.
It can be seen that the Yuan family is rich and powerful. All the delicacies on the table are delicious. Not to mention eating, just smelling the aroma makes you feel intoxicated.
"Come on, let's continue eating." When faced with delicious food, Liu Jun was always polite and did not need to be greeted. He immediately sat down and started eating.
"Well, you don't have to ask that bear to come over and eat together?" Chu Ying said.
Liu Jun looked at Brother Xiong's body shape, and then remembered how much he ate when he was at Longmen Inn, and quickly waved his hand, "No, no, let's eat first, and Brother Xiong will eat later. He has too much food. "
"Don't worry, we have enough food in the kitchen." The second housekeeper was also more respectful to Liu Jun, and the smile on his face became more sincere when he spoke.
"Okay then," Liu Jun had no choice but to ask Brother Xiong to sit down.
Soon, the scene at the Longmen Inn reappeared. Others needed chopsticks and chopsticks, but Brother Xiong only had to pick up the plate and pour it into his mouth.
Time passed by, and everyone around them stopped. There was only the sound of Brother Xiong chewing. It was said before that the second housekeeper who had a lot of food in the kitchen of the Yuan Mansion made everyone numb, and his eyes were straight. Liuyou looked at the black bear spirit, wishing he could slap his two big ears.
Seeing that the reserves in the kitchen are about to be eaten up, this guy is not full yet. Is this special meow going to eat people soon?
"Brother Xiong, Brother Xiong, it's almost done" Liu Jun quickly reminded the black bear spirit.
He also planned to stay in Yuan Mansion for a few days, but if Brother Xiong's appetite was met, they might have to be kicked out after finishing this meal.
The black bear spirit just stopped and licked the corner of his mouth with unfulfilled interest.
After dinner, Liu Jun and the others also settled down with Chu Ying’s help and lived in Chu Ying’s yard.
Chu Ying's courtyard has at least sixteen wing rooms, which are more than enough to accommodate Liu Jun and the others. Moreover, Chu Ying is not sure about arranging Liu Jun and the others elsewhere, for fear that Yuan Hao will come back to cause trouble again.
However, what she didn't expect was that only half a day had passed and trouble came at night.
The person who came this time was still the housekeeper, but he was accompanied by that good-for-nothing Yuan Hao.
"Second Madam, the master of the house invites you and a few guests to the main hall. He wants to meet a few guests." The butler still smiled and looked kind.
"The head of the family didn't say anything." Chu Ying asked. "No, I guess the master just wants to meet a few guests," the butler replied.
Chu Ying turned to look at Liu Jun. After all, Liu Jun was a guest and she had no say.
"Since the head of the Yuan family has invited me, I have to give him the honor. I have to go," Liu Jun said with a smile.
"Hmph, I will take care of you in a while." Yuan Hao looked at Liu Jun fiercely.
"If you keep talking, I will deal with you now." The smile on Liu Jun's face remained unchanged, but his tone became colder.
Yuan Hao is also a coward. When he heard this, he immediately shut up, but the hatred for Liu Jun in his heart increased a little more.
A group of people, led by the steward, walked for about a few minutes and arrived at a hall.
This hall is the meeting hall of the Yuan family. Although it is not as tall as those palaces, it is still full of luxury. Just move a chair out and it will be enough for an ordinary family to eat and drink for a hundred years.
As soon as they walked in, Liu Jun and others were stunned, because sitting at the top of the hall was a middle-aged woman wearing a bright red robe embroidered with gold phoenix.
The woman is dignified and majestic, looking like a lady. Although she looks middle-aged, she is well-maintained and her charm is still there. She also seems to often give orders and has the aura of a superior.
"Is this the head of the Yuan family?" Xiao Hei asked in a daze.
Liu Jun rolled his eyes. Why is this guy's IQ so low after not seeing him for a few days? This old woman is obviously Yuan Hao's mother, the eldest lady of the Yuan family.
If this is the head of the family, then who does Chu Ying, the second lady, count? It’s terrifying to think about it.
Beside the eldest lady, there sat a burly middle-aged man wearing a suit of armor. The middle-aged man had a scar diagonally from the corner of his eye to his lip, which looked a bit scary.
“This man is Mad Dog, the deputy leader of the Kuangshou Mercenary Group,” Chu Ying explained in a low voice.
"Rabid dog? He doesn't bite, does he?" When Liu Jun heard the name, his first reaction was that this guy can't bite.
Chu Ying was speechless. Is this a question of whether to bite or not?
On the other side of the eldest lady, there sat a handsome young man. Although he was a little immature, he had fair complexion and delicate features. His handsomeness had a touch of bookishness, a bit like the ancient royal family who read poetry and books.
“This is the second young master Yuan Zhe,” Chu Ying continued to introduce.
Yuan Zhe and his brother Yuan Hao are completely opposite in personality. Yuan Hao is arrogant, domineering and unscrupulous. He has always been disliked by Yuan Shikai, the head of the Yuan family, and he wants to declare to the outside world that he is not his child.
Yuan Zhe has loved reading since he was a child. He has a gentle personality, never causes trouble, and is very smart. He often helps Yuan Shikai manage the Yuan family. He is very popular with Yuan Shikai and can be said to be the next head of the Yuan family. Candidate.
The relationship between the two brothers has never been good. Yuan Zhe is unwilling to get too close to his notorious brother, while Yuan Hao feels that his brother is too hypocritical. Unlike him, he has never restrained himself. character.
"Second Mother" Yuan Zhe stood up first and saluted Chu Ying.
"Second Young Master" Chu Ying also immediately returned the gift.
"I called you here today because I want to ask a few questions," the eldest lady said.
"Madam, the chief steward sent word that the family wants to see us. Where is the master?" Chu Ying frowned.
Although Chu Ying does not want to have anything to do with the eldest lady, she is not afraid of the other party, and she is definitely not someone who accepts defeat. Since the other party takes the initiative to provoke, she will never take a step back.
"The head of the family went to the city lord's mansion because of a temporary summons from the city lord. Can't I just receive some guests?" The eldest lady said indifferently.
"Okay, but your posture does not look like entertaining, but more like interrogating a prisoner. I wonder if the master of the house will think you are rude if he knows about it?" Chu Ying faced the powerful power of the eldest lady. Field, not afraid at all.
"What the Second Madam reminds me is" When the eldest madam saw that Chu Ying dared to directly contradict her, there was a trace of surprise in her eyes, but more of it was anger.
You must know that she is the daughter of the old leader of the Crazy Killing Mercenary Group, the eldest lady of the Yuan family, the woman Yuan Shikai is marrying, and Chu Ying is just a victim of the marriage between two families, but she actually dares to do this to her presumptuous.
However, she was angry, but she couldn't get off her tongue.
"Come, take a seat."
Soon, the chairs were brought up, but the top position of Madam and the others was still higher, and the chairs given to Liu Jun and others were also closer to each other. It still looks like interrogating a prisoner.
But Liu Jun obviously doesn't care about this. After so many years of life and death, he has long understood the truth that strength is king. Without strength, there is no dignity. What's the use of this trick, crushing other people's dignity? In the eyes of capable people, this is just a clown.
"This guest, can you tell me your surname?" asked the eldest lady.
"Qianzi, gold is the gold of money, money is the money of money, and son is the son of a useless son" Liu Jun crossed his legs and said casually.
The eldest lady's face turned dark immediately, useless son, who are you mocking? Then he glared hard at Yuan Hao, who was indeed a loser.
"Did you beat my son Yuan Hao?" the eldest lady asked solemnly.
"That's not called beating, that's called discipline. He owes discipline, and I'm willing to help others," Liu Jun replied.
The eldest lady clenched her fists instantly, and her dignified image was completely ruined by Liu Jun's two words.
"Tell me, did anyone else take action?" the eldest lady continued to ask.
Liu Jun's eyes widened with surprise on his face, "Are you looking down on me? I still need help from others for this kind of waste. I have to have an extra finger on each of my two fingers."
