Chapter 392 Leaving Li Mansion
Chapter 392 Leaving Li Mansion
Chen Chen deliberately fell in front of Master Lin and was hit by a bench by Li Shou. This scene confirmed that Li Shou had a bad temper, and Master Li was very dissatisfied with Li Shou.
Chen Chen, on the other hand, was lying on the ground, unable to get up, and had to be helped up by a servant beside him. He took this opportunity to quickly say, "Master! My waist seems to be injured. I can't delay the position of housekeeper for a day. I'm afraid that I can't be competent now that I'm injured."
Mr. Li also knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly said, "Butler Chen, take good care of yourself and the medical expenses will be paid by the Li Mansion."
Chen Chen quickly added, "I was originally a servant who was sold to the Li Mansion by my family. Master Li didn't abandon me and has kept me in the manor until now. My family has already redeemed me, but I have deep feelings for the Li Mansion and I still choose to stay. Now that I'm injured, I'm afraid staying here will only be a burden. My contract has expired, so it's better to leave early..."
Master Li and Madam Li were very moved by Chen Chen's words, but they were also worried that outsiders would say that they were mistreating their servants when they saw Chen Chen like this, so they quickly asked someone to bring a lot of money and said, "Butler Chen's injury was also caused in the Li Mansion. You can use this money to treat your injury or buy goods. If you need our help, Butler Chen, just ask..."
Li Shou was very unhappy with what several people said. He jumped up and wanted to scold Chen Chen for being ungrateful, but was then dragged away by other servants.
Several managers were sad on the surface when they knew Chen Chen was leaving, but they were very happy in their hearts. They wanted to send him back to the countryside overnight, but there was a curfew in the capital and the city gates would be closed at night.
Chen Chen held his waist and returned to his room. When he was alone in the room, he rolled around on the bed. It seemed that nothing was wrong. He could leave Li Mansion tomorrow!
The next day, Jin Linle came out to see Chen Chen off. Chen Chen also looked calm and composed. When the two of them parted, Chen Chen said to him, "Linle... take care!"
In fact, Chen Chen wanted to warn Jin Linle about something, but as a Le Ling of the Li Mansion, his life was never in his own hands. He actually wanted to leave the Li Mansion, but he couldn't leave. Thousands of words could only be reduced to two words: take care.
Jin Linle was reluctant to leave Chen Chen. He finally had someone interesting to meet in this prison, but now he had to leave so soon.
He and Zhou Ying were just in a relationship of exploitation and being exploited. Jin Linle used to think that Zhou Ying loved him, but he didn't expect that the woman only loved status, and the pressure of not having children made her take risks.
After Jin Linle realized this, he kept his distance from Zhou Ying. Fortunately, she was now pregnant with Li Shou's child, so he could bury their past in his heart.
After leaving Li's house, Chen Chen went to a restaurant to apply for a chef position, but everyone said that Chen Chen's dishes tasted weird and rejected him because he couldn't even cook the most popular dishes.
Chen Chen had no other choice but to go back to his old job, or if that didn't work out, he could be an accountant.
So Chen Chen squatted on the street waiting for a job, but after waiting for a long time no one came to ask about the job, but he was teased by several men.
Chen Chen was very unhappy about this and almost wanted to hit those people on the head with a brick, but fortunately he held himself back and cursed at them before leaving.
As it was getting dark, a very good-looking man walked up to him and asked, "Can you recite the multiplication table?"
Chen Chen asked curiously, "What's the multiplication formula?"
The man asked without explanation, "37."
"twenty one."
"Four-seven."
"Twenty-eight."
"Qiqi."
"forty nine."
The man looked at Chen Chen and said, "Okay, it's you!"
Chen Chen, full of questions, followed the handsome man into a big house, but they went through the back door, so he didn't know whose mansion this luxurious house belonged to.
But it was obvious that this family was very wealthy, so Chen Chen followed the man all the way to the front hall and heard him say, "Stop for a moment!"
Chen Chen watched as a group of people stopped what they were doing and gathered around him. They respectfully saluted the man and said, "Your Excellency, Princess!"
What the hell?! This man is actually a princess?! And a male princess?! Chen Chen looked at the man in shock.
The male princess looked as if she was used to it and said, "Don't be so shocked. You have to get used to working here."
Chen Chen nodded, then asked, "What kind of work did the princess ask me to do here?"
The male princess asked, "What can you do?"
Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, "I used to be a housekeeper in Li Bianxiu's house."
The male princess thought for a moment and said, "There really isn't a housekeeper here, so you can be the one!"
Chen Chen asked curiously, "What happened to the original housekeeper of the Princess's palace?"
The male princess replied, "He was fine, he just suddenly wanted to grow taller, and then he went to play on the swings."
Chen Chen was puzzled until he was taken to his room by a servant. The servant told him, "Butler Zhao hanged himself the night before last, right in this room."
Chen Chen was completely stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but look up at the beams. There seemed to be traces of white silk there, which made Chen Chen very panicked. Fortunately, no ghosts appeared that night. After waking up, Chen Chen started his busy work.
He went to the kitchen to ask the steward for the breakfast menu, but the steward told him, "The prince and princess don't eat breakfast in the morning. They usually sleep until noon. I can give you the lunch menu."
"..."
It’s not good to skip breakfast! But Chen Chen didn’t dare to tell the prince and princess, and he had never seen the prince before, so he felt that the prince might be very scary.
This is the Prince of Nan'an's Palace. The prince's throne is hereditary. His ancestor was granted the title of Prince of Nan'an for his military merits. The male princess was brought back by the prince one day. The old prince and the old princess were so angry about this that they died.
It is said that the male princess is an actor. The prince calls him Wu Ao. He is very handsome and capable. Originally, although Prince Nan'an did not have a princess, he had concubines and maids. But since Wu Ao came, Prince Nan'an dismissed the concubines in the backyard, and Prince Nan'an went to the palace to ask the emperor to grant them a marriage.
Chen Chen was gossiping with the others, and when he heard about the gossip from the Nan'an Palace, he was shocked. He asked, "Isn't His Majesty angry?"
The servants said, "Your Majesty is not angry at all. If the Prince of Nan'an dies without an heir, all this fiefdom will be handed over to Your Majesty. This is a good thing for Your Majesty! Is there anything interesting going on with Steward Chen?"
Seeing that everyone wanted to hear gossip about the Li Mansion, Chen Chen immediately replied, "Well! The Li Mansion's affairs are nothing but trivial matters, which are in no way comparable to the affairs of the Nan'an Palace. However, if the young master of the Li family beat me up and kicked me out of the Li Mansion, I guarantee that the Li Mansion will be busy from now on!"
In fact, without a butler, the Li Mansion would definitely be in chaos after the new butler took office. Chen Chen also laid the groundwork for bragging. As a result, the Li Mansion was ransacked within a few days. Everyone was shocked when they heard the news.
Considering what Chen Chen said some time ago, it seems that if you provoke Butler Chen, Butler Chen will use some means to have the Li Mansion confiscated!
