About ten minutes later, the old housekeeper of the family came to Zhao Yan's door.
"Xiao Gu, what are you doing sitting at the door of the young master's room?"
"Uncle Li, I'm sorry, I'll get up right away." Gu Yufei smiled reluctantly and struggled to stand up. Her legs were still a little weak and she almost collapsed to the ground again.
Butler Li frowned and said with a hint of admonition: "Xiao Gu, no matter what, we are all servants of the family. It's not good for you to do this. Even if there is no one here, you can't sit in the corridor like this!"
"Uncle Li, I'm sorry, I'll get up right away." Gu Yufei smiled reluctantly and struggled to stand up. Her legs were still a little weak and she almost collapsed to the ground again.
Butler Li frowned and said with a hint of admonition: "Xiao Gu, no matter what, we are all servants of the family. It's not good for you to do this. Even if there is no one here, you can't sit in the corridor like this!"
Gu Yufei's mind was in a mess, and she reluctantly glanced at Butler Li: "I'm sorry, Uncle Li, I lost my composure."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Butler Li frowned as he looked at Gu Yufei's somewhat staggering steps.
Without paying too much attention, he knocked on Zhao Yan's door.
Knock knock!
"Master, can I come in?"
"Come in!" Zhao Yan's voice came from the room.
Butler Li pushed the door open and walked in: "Master."
With his proper manners and methodical work style, there is a reason why Butler Li has been able to serve as the Zhao family's butler for so many years.
"Gu Yufei's daughter, put her in the pigsty." Without even raising his head, Jiang Cheng spoke coldly.
"Hey!" Butler Li looked up, a little surprised. The host suspected that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw Jiang Cheng's indifferent eyes, Butler Li was shocked.
"Master... May I ask, did Gu Yufei do something to make you unhappy?"
Butler Li, who has worked in this family for many years, knows his young master well. Not to mention his ability to do things, he is very gentle in dealing with people. Even if the servants make mistakes, he has never punished them.
Being kind to others, gentle and refined, this is the consensus among all the servants about the young master.
Butler Li couldn't help but be surprised that such a person suddenly proposed such a harsh punishment.
"There's no reason. Just do it, Butler Li." A slight smile appeared on his face. Looking at this loyal old man who remained in the Zhao family until the end of the plot, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but speak with a hint of tenderness.
Zhao Yan had said that, so even though Butler Li was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions and left the room.
He looked at the heavy yellow wooden door in front of him with a strange look.
What on earth did Gu Yufei do to make the young master so angry?
She even threw her daughter into the pigsty.
He sighed helplessly. Never mind. He didn't need to question the decision made by the young master. He just had to do it.
Butler Li was suddenly startled. Gu Yufei had just been at the young master's door with traces of tears on her face. Could it be that Gu Yufei had really done something that the young master could not tolerate?
Butler Li knew how generous their young master was.
This sudden change forced him to think in this direction.
And when Gu Yufei left just now, her steps were obviously very abnormal...
Could it be that...
Butler Li's eyes became complicated. Looking at Zhao Yan's door, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"Master, why are you doing this?" He couldn't help but sigh.
No matter from which angle, it is impossible for Gu Yufei to marry the young master, and Gu Yufei obviously likes the young master, so why would her young master do such an annoying thing.
It was already very clear that the young master had fallen in love with Gu Yufei. Although Gu Yufei didn't say it, how could Butler Li not see her feelings?
For Gu Yufei, being favored by the young master was a blessing in disguise, but it was obvious that the young master did not like Gu Xiaohan.
So...it's a bit irrational.
This is easy to understand.
Gu Yufei's reaction was normal. After all, she was a mother. Even if she was deeply in love with the young master, she would never give up on her daughter. If she gave up on her daughter, she would feel sad.
Now it seems that Gu Yufei is really going to give up Gu Xiaohan for the young master!
No wonder Gu Yufei looked so uncomfortable just now.
Ah..." Butler Li, who was nearly fifty years old, sighed deeply.
Even though he is old and has seen a lot, his state of mind has long reached a level where it is not easily disturbed, but at this moment he still feels a little helpless.
In his opinion, there was no way Gu Yufei would marry the young master. Even if the two of them really got together, the Zhao family would not accept a woman with a burden.
The young master is thinking too much, or rather, taking relationships too seriously.
"Forget it, forget it. We are all people who value affection. I, an old man, am not a bad person."
'Reality' is still very cruel and will not stop just because of your sadness.
He smiled gently. Being able to stay by the young master's side was a fulfillment of Gu Yufei's affection for young master over the years.
Then why should he be such a bad guy?
Of course, the young master's orders still need to be followed, but as for how to do it...
He has a great idea!
.....
In the room, Zhao Yan was chewing gum proudly.
With a perfect strategy, it only took him a few hours to understand the villain's secrets and complete his plot mission with absolute means.
It doesn't seem that difficult. won't be long before I can escape from this world of novels and live the life of a wealthy person in reality.
Reality is still better. You don't have to consider the protagonist, nor do you have to compete with the protagonist in wits and courage. You even have to do things that are unreasonable to outsiders and extremely embarrassing to do yourself in order to stop the protagonist's calculations.
Zhao Yan was too familiar with the routine of brainless and cool novels. Because of this, he absolutely could not compete with the brainless protagonist in wits and courage.
That was a battle of wits, clearly a competition to see who was more stupid.
Not to mention trying to snatch the heroine, showing off your skills with the heroine, being jealous and so on, only the one who wins can get the heroine.
Just imagining it, Zhao Yan felt so stupid.
Like a street performer, I am the monkey being brushed by the performer, but I am competing for the favor of the heroine.
Even if there is a system that can give him the ability to surpass the protagonist, Zhao Yan cannot do such a thing.
"Next, publicize the fact that the vicious villain forced the heroine. It's best to let everyone know about it, so that the heroines will know it immediately, hehehe"
