lplessly. He did have some appreciation for that girl's character. If Zongyu married such a wife, perhaps their family life would get better."You, you don't understand anything. You have a long way to...The buyer's money, King Jing temporarily didn't settle with her, saying he would wait until the result of their gambling game came out before settling it all together.

If she wins, he will return the one thousand taels he bet back to him as payment for buying these slaves.

If she lost, he wouldn't have to pay her anyway. With the odds of 3:1, he could make back all three thousand taels from Fang Jinyu directly. What difference did a few dozen servants make compared to that

No matter how you calculate it, she wouldn't lose out anyway, so Fang Jinshu naturally agreed with a happy heart.

She didn't give Zhao Xingzhou any special treatment, letting him ride the horse-drawn cart with everyone else and be escorted back to the mountain villa.

At this moment, in the mountain villa, Chang He had pressed Jin Yu and Qiu Ju into service as menial laborers. Faced with dozens of servants arriving, he was completely overwhelmed.

He had to arrange accommodation for these dozens of people, distribute their daily necessities, inform them of the rules of the mountain lodge, and find out what each person was good at in order to assign them tasks.

When Chang He saw Zhao Xingzhou, he was stunned for a moment, thinking he must be seeing things.

For half a year after Fang Jinshu lost her memory and disappeared, no one knew where she went or what she did.

Therefore, Chang He was particularly surprised when he recognized Zhao Xingzhou.

"Zhao Jiugongzi"

"You, you how could..."

How could Young Master Zhao have sent back these purchased servants from Lady Jinxiu, looking so disheveled

Seeing these familiar faces around Fang Jinxiu, Zhao Xingzhou felt very uncomfortable.

Now he no longer has the right to decide his own fate. These are people he will have to face sooner or later.

"The Zhao family is gone, and I'm no longer a young master. You can just treat me as an ordinary bodyguard bought by your mistress."

After he finished speaking, he walked silently to the side.

The treatment for servants in the hospital was much better than that of other servants in the manor. Ordinary servants slept in large dormitories, with seven or eight people sharing a room.

The rooms are all double occupancy and each has a private courtyard.

The head of the courtyard could still have his own yard, but Chang He didn't understand what had happened to Young Master Zhao. But based on his past relationship with Sister Jinxiu, he wouldn't let him live with other guards.

"Then, just let Zhao Hu courtyard have a single room by itself."

Given Zhao Gongzi's skill and ability, let alone being a guard at home, even the position of his steward would be more than enough for him.

Other guards might not know who Zhao Jiu Gongzi is. They've disliked this pretty boy for a long time, thinking he acts like a spoiled brat because of his looks and his relationship with the young mistress of Jinshu Mountain Villa. He thinks he can just get a single room based on his connections

The single room is reserved for the head nurse. Could it be that the little steward means to make this young pretty boy their leader

They wouldn't agree to that.

"Song Guanjia, why does he get a single room while we have to share"

"Do you mean to make him our leader"

Song Changhe frowned, facing a group of tall and burly guards. He felt a little nervous.

"What's not possible"

"As the steward of this manor, I have full authority to assign these tasks. If you have any grievances, present your reasons. If I find them reasonable, I will certainly take them into consideration."

"Hmph, and you want to know a suitable reason"

"This little white face looks like a weakling, he'd fall over with just a gust of wind. What makes him think he deserves to be our leader"

"In my opinion, he's better off as a warm bed servant for our young mistress, haha."

Others burst into laughter as well.

These people probably see him as young and just a river boatman, so they don't take him seriously at all and act so recklessly.

Chang He furrowed his brow, about to scold these people loudly. Just then, Zhao Xingzhou's face darkened. No one could see how he did it. Although he was the weakest looking among the guards, his move was swift and ruthless.

But in the blink of an eye, the guard who had led the questioning and ridicule was already under Zhao Xingzhou's foot, struggling to get up no matter how hard he tried.

"Apologize to Song the Butler."

Otherwise, today I'll break one of your dog teeth. Anyway, you can't speak any human words.

When Zhao Xingzhou got serious, his handsome face turned gloomy and frightening. Many people were taken aback by this stark contrast. The man under his feet didn't seem to have any backbone either.

He apologized and begged for mercy after just being threatened.

The Changhe knew that Zhao Jiu Gongzi was establishing his authority for him, so he readily arranged his orders.

Suddenly, everyone who had been making jokes and silly gestures fell silent. When everyone settled down, Chang He came to thank Zhao Xingzhou.

"Thank you so much, Young Master Jiu, for your help just now."

Zhao Xingzhou didn't show much gratitude, merely nodding expressionlessly with a stiff tone.

"Zhao Butler is too kind. It's just my humble duty, nothing to be thanked for."

The Chang He was at a loss, what exactly had happened to Zhao Jiugong these past few years Not only had his personality changed drastically, but he also seemed so distant from them.lding a house can wait for a while; anyway, winter is still several months away.A few months is enough time for her to do a lot of things, she might even be able to earn back several times the money i...
