"Young Master Wen Jue, Ah Da naturally lives in the servant's quarters," the servant said, believing that Young Master Wen Jue was concerned about Ah Da's accommodation and even specifying the location.
Wen Jue's delicate little face shifted beneath the covers, half of it obscured, revealing the other half and making him look extremely adorable.
The servant, overwhelmed by the constant cuteness, became flustered and started to pledge his loyalty: "Young Master, rest assured, if you need anything, just tell me. If Ah Da can do it, so can I! No, I will do it better than him!"
Wen Jue nodded obediently and said softly, "What is your name?"
"You Fuqi, Young Master can call me Fuqi. My name is auspicious!"
You Fuqi tucked Wen Jue in again, wrapping his small body snugly in the blanket.
"Alright, Fuqi, then I will trouble you from now on."
You Fuqi felt a pang of sadness for a moment, then a surge of emotion.
What had Young Master Wen Jue and Young Master Wen Bai experienced outside? They were so young yet they still said "trouble you" to him.
Ah, his heart felt sour and soft.
He would definitely protect Young Master Wen Jue well!
"Fuqi, can you light my favorite scent?"
You Fuqi nodded. "Of course."
When he arrived here, the butler had carefully instructed him that Young Master Wen Jue had a favorite scent that must be lit before sleep every night to ensure a good night's rest.
It was an extremely expensive incense!
Knowing that he would be sleeping on the small couch in Young Master Wen Jue's room from tonight onwards, he could also benefit from smelling it!
You Fuqi lit the incense, blew out the lamp, and lay down on his own small couch.
Although called a small couch, it was big enough for him to sleep, roll around, and be wrapped in a blanket. You Fuqi stroked the couch with a heart full of joy, full of hope for the future.
Before long, Fuqi, who had vowed to protect Young Master Wen Jue well, had fallen into a deep sleep.
As soon as the person on the small couch fell into a deep sleep, Wen Jue opened his eyes.
Wen Jue's small body sat up in bed. He lifted the covers, put on his small shoes and coat.
-
The servant Ah Da was tossing and turning in bed at this moment.
The thought of leaving because of those two little brats filled him with resentment.
Damn it! Hadn't they been found?
And they were still trying to drive him away!
He had finally managed to get here, and they were telling him he had to leave tomorrow.
He was so unwilling.
When the Wen family was hiring, the steward hadn't chosen him.
It was thanks to his own cleverness that he had found out through some money that the Wen family was hiring servants, and that the Wen family had a patriarch and two little ones.
He deliberately used a few candies to lure a child to stand at a place where the Wen family steward would pass by and cry. Then, he pretended to be very enthusiastic, comforted the child, and helped the child find their parents and take them home.
This caught the Wen family steward's eye and left an impression on him, which led to him being chosen.
He had put in so much effort to get in, so it was naturally worth it.
He was cunning, resourceful, and knew how to please.
He was quickly assigned to one of the little ones.
That little one was easy to deal with. Despite being so small, he didn't like him to do anything.
In his opinion, that little one was destined for a hard life, but born into a wealthy family and didn't know how to enjoy it.
Normally, he just had to follow the little one around, and didn't have to do any manual labor anymore, which was so much easier and more comfortable.
When the little ones were happy, the masters would reward them. When the little ones grew taller, the masters would also reward them. When the little ones gained weight, the masters would still reward them…
This was originally a good thing for him, but it was also the bad part.
He had never seen so many good things in his entire life combined.
Just because of these reasons, which he found inexplicable, they were given to him?
He received good things that others could not earn in several months of hard labor.
He recalled how he had been abandoned by his parents, who might or might not have been alive, when he was just an infant.
He grew up eating from a hundred families. Although no one gave him a bad look, he knew that everyone looked down on him!
When he grew older, he ran away to make a living, to a place where no one knew he had no parents.
He had worked as a horse groomer and in restaurants.
He watched Wen Bai and Wen Jue, these two little good-for-nothings, who ate and slept all day, day in and day out.
He remembered those who, like him in the past, worked day and night to earn money for others but couldn't earn enough for their own tomorrow. They received so little.
He finally realized that no matter how hard he tried in this life, he would never be as good as these two little good-for-nothings.
It was simply because the little good-for-nothings had been born into good families.
They didn't have to worry about food or clothing, and their lives would surely be peaceful and comfortable.
How unfair!
He was so jealous, so hateful!
Why couldn't the lives of these little good-for-nothings have any setbacks?
Ah Da stayed by Wen Jue's side, and although he dared not do anything openly.
But a dark thought gradually took root in his heart, and he couldn't escape it.
He finally found an opportunity, contacted a human trafficker, and colluded with them to sell the twin children of the extremely wealthy Wen family.
He wanted to see how these two little good-for-nothings would fare after leaving the Wen family that sheltered them!
He maliciously thought that it would be best if they were sold to the poorest place, and they would surely experience the suffering he had gone through and hate everyone just like him.
He was willing to lose his status as a servant who received many rewards from the Wen family's young masters, in exchange for their lifelong misfortune.
But today, they had returned.
Five-year-old children had driven a carriage back by themselves!
He! So! Hateful!
He was going to be driven out tomorrow and go back to the difficult life he had before.
And they had returned to enjoy wealth and luxury again.
Ah Da was thinking frantically and despairingly on the bed.
Suddenly, a small figure appeared outside the window.
He had sharp eyes and saw it at a glance.
He got up suspiciously, thinking he was hallucinating.
He got out of bed quietly, without disturbing the other servant on the opposite bed.
The Wen family was rich, and the servants had their own beds, two people in one room.
Unlike the places he had stayed in before, where everyone slept in a communal bed.
He felt a surge of annoyance at this thought.
He pushed open the door with a dark expression and indeed saw Wen Jue standing outside the door.
