Chapter 112 Returning to the Previous World 3
"Butler," Xu Fu called out to the other party with a hint of sarcasm, his attitude unrestrained and his smile flamboyant.
"You say that," Xu Fu stared intently at the people, "I merely granted you a tiny bit of power."
"How dare you?! You can't even tell the difference between what's important and what's not—"
"Young Master—" The butler, his face contorted with worry, struggled to remain calm as he slowly began to explain.
"This old servant has devoted himself wholeheartedly to this family—"
"I have never intended to overstep my bounds, please understand, young master!"
When Xu Fu saw this man's demeanor, he thought, "How is this any different from the officials in the imperial palace who are always ready to remonstrate to the death?"
"Whatever you say goes," Xu Fu added slowly.
The woman beside him seemed slightly uneasy, fearing that Xu Fu might be deceived.
He grabbed the other person's hand and shook it three times violently.
"I know!" Xu Fu patted the other person reassuringly, then turned to look at the butler.
"Considering how diligent you've been, I might give you a chance to make amends."
Xu Fu said with a smile, "Why don't you go and bring the second young master back—"
"And while you're at it, call Xiaoyu back too. After all, we were once master and servant..."
"Young...Young Master, please have mercy! It's all my fault, no matter what!"
"Please don't blame him, young master!" The butler apologized humbly, kowtowing repeatedly.
Xu Fu remained noncommittal, quietly watching the performance.
The butler kowtowed five or six times before realizing something was wrong.
Somewhat hesitant, Xu Fu didn't call for a halt, and no one dared to stop...
Xu Fu and the others kowtowed fifty or sixty times, then continued, "Oh, how could I forget?!"
Xu Fu calmly took out a stack of identity deeds from his robes.
I started browsing through them one by one in my hands—
"However, I seem to remember only returning Xiaoyu's identity document back then."
"The steward's family, and the new concubine's indenture, have all been kept safe by me—"
Xu Fu glanced sideways at the concubine who was being protected, his tone mocking.
"The concubine is sold, and the indenture is in my hands—" Xu Fu looked at the steward.
"Butler, do you think we can get Xiaoyu to come and see you with these documents?"
"In case I find your family a new place, housekeeper..."
Do you think this will affect Xiaoyu's future?
Xu Fu then turned to look at the male protagonist's concubine, his smile sinister.
"With so many people protecting you, are you pregnant?"
Xu Fu naturally knew that it was impossible for anyone else to give birth to the male protagonist's child.
But the male lead has stolen so much of the female lead's luck, who knows what might happen?!
But if this concubine isn't carrying the male lead's child, that would be hilarious!
"Young Master, please have mercy—" The butler kowtowed even more forcefully this time.
They didn't care about saving face.
In just a few slaps, his forehead turned bruised and purple, with a little blood seeping out...
"Butler, seeing how sincerely you've admitted your mistake..."
"Let's let the little fish off the hook for now—"
"However, you'll still need to personally go and invite the Second Young Master—" Xu Fu glanced at the bodyguard,
The two men grabbed the butler and dragged him out of the courtyard.
Xu Fu added unhurriedly, "Steward, please don't make any unnecessary movements."
"After all, your family is still in my hands—"
"If you really mess with me, you won't want to know the consequences!" Xu Fu threatened.
The decision was made to use the concubine as an example to scare others.
Xu Fu glanced at the bodyguard again, then gestured towards his concubine with his lip.
The bodyguards immediately understood, and the four of them rushed forward, instantly breaking through the encirclement protecting the concubine...
The bodyguards quickly subdued the two servants, and the other two pounced on the maids and servants.
The men scattered like birds and beasts, leaving the concubine isolated and helpless.
A person stood alone in the same spot.
"Bring him here and make him kneel down!" Xu Fu coldly gave the order.
The two bodyguards reacted quickly, shoving the man forward and kicking him in the knee.
The concubine's knees buckled, and she knelt straight down before Xu Fu.
Just as he was about to struggle to his feet, what if someone pulled out a knife and pressed it against the other person's shoulder?
The gleaming blade was pressed against the person's snow-white neck.
The concubine was so frightened that she trembled and tears streamed down her face.
Unfortunately, Xu Fu had already severed all feelings and was completely oblivious to the woman's show of weakness!
"When I first brought your family into my household, I made sure you were well-fed and clothed."
"You've certainly fattened up your family's appetites—"
"If I had known, I should have left your indentures to Xiaohua in the first place."
"You've kept me locked up in your mansion and tortured me for so long for nothing!"
However, the deed is done, and no amount of words from Xu Fu can undo it.
We can only settle accounts with them one by one after the male lead returns.
Xu Fu pulled out all the indentures and called out the names on them.
Distinguish between the elderly residents and those who were purchased later—
Xu Fu planned to wait until the female protagonist recovered before figuring out how to deal with them.
The butler returned hurriedly with the male protagonist less than 15 minutes after leaving.
"Big...Big Brother—" the male protagonist called out in a trembling voice.
Seeing his beloved concubine kneeling before Xu Fu, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Just as he was about to step forward, he saw the steward suddenly kneel down beside the concubine.
Xu Fu did not stop him, but quietly watched the male protagonist.
I want to see if the person intends to admit their mistake immediately, or continue to struggle...
Faced with Xu Fu's gaze, the male protagonist was initially able to withstand it...
The longer Xu Fu stared at him, the more guilty he became, and finally, he knelt down tremblingly.
"I'm sorry, big brother, I didn't take good care of my sister—"
"I've been back for so long, and I haven't seen many children yet—"
"Where are they?!"
Upon hearing Xu Fu's question, the female protagonist struggled violently.
But he stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Seeing the man's anxious expression, Xu Fu knew there must be more to the story.
But the female protagonist couldn't bring herself to say it, so Xu Fu could only turn his attention to the instigator.
"Second Young Master—" Xu Fu called out softly, and the three people kneeling on the ground visibly trembled.
"Why don't you tell me yourself?"
"Where is the child that the young lady gave birth to with such difficulty?!"
The three people looked at each other, none of them speaking first.
When Xu Fu grew impatient, he gave a soft snort, "Since you're unwilling to talk..."
"Then forget it," Xu Fu said, waving his hand at the bodyguard.
The person brought up the housekeeper's parents and her mother-in-law directly.
"Butler, is it worth it for you to ask for one hand each?" Xu Fu threatened the other party in a cold voice.
"My brothers don't know their own strength; it would be bad if they hurt someone."
"Young Master, Miss, Miss—" the butler stammered, refusing to speak.
