Chapter 105
Wang Jin turned to look. It was an old man whose hair had already turned white...
The old man leaned on a cane, his eyes slightly red, filled with affection: "This old man has finally waited for the young master."
As he spoke, his withered hands pulled Wang Jin to the side. Although the man was old and looked unsteady on his feet, his strength was immense. He practically dragged Wang Jin to a corner.
"Young master, do not confront them, you will suffer." Once in the corner, the man lowered his voice and anxiously warned.
"?" Wang Jin wore a face full of confusion.
Seeing Wang Jin's bewildered appearance, the man seemed to suddenly remember something. He paused, then looked at Wang Jin with eyes full of pity.
"My poor young master... you've actually forgotten everything."
The old man spoke, his eyes welling up with tears, which made Wang Jin's heart inexplicably ache.
Wang Jin quickly tried to comfort him: "Uncle, don't be sad, I... I've returned safely, haven't I?"
Hearing this, the old man stared blankly and said softly, "Young master, I am Uncle Shan. You used to call me Uncle Shan..."
Wang Jin was startled and quickly corrected himself: "Uncle Shan."
The ger called out pleasingly, his clear eyes full of liveliness. The old man was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.
It had been a long time since he had seen the young master look so spirited...
A fond affection gradually appeared in the old man's eyes.
This affection was transmitted to Wang Jin through the gaze. Wang Jin smiled obediently at the old man and seized the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Shan, you should know, I've lost my memory. I just returned and am completely unclear about everything... What was the matter with those two just now? Didn't my older brother assign this pavilion for me to live in? I am the master of this pavilion, right? Shouldn't those two be responsible for taking care of me? Why did they act like they were the true masters of this pavilion?"
The old man heard this and looked at Wang Jin in surprise, as if Wang Jin had said something incredible. Wang Jin looked back at the old man in confusion.
Since this old man knew he had lost his memory, wasn't it normal for him to ask these things? Why did this person look so surprised, as if he had asked something earth-shattering?
The ger's face was full of bewilderment and confusion, his dark, bright pupils utterly clear, still as pure as before, but upon closer look, one could notice his expression was somewhat different from before, with less timidity and more curiosity about the outside world...
What was even more surprising was that the young master used to speak in a low, soft voice, always halting and unable to express himself clearly. He rarely could be so straightforward, even to the point of being... sharp...
The old man blinked in astonishment, his lips trembling, as he asked tentatively: "Young master, you... you aren't afraid of them anymore?"
"?" Wang Jin was even more puzzled: "Why should I be afraid of them?"
Judging by how the original owner's older brother treated those two earlier, it was the same way he treated the servants in his household in his previous life...
These two should be servants, but after entering the pavilion, it was completely different in front of him. Although the reason wasn't clear yet...
But they are just two ger, nothing to be afraid of, right?
Hearing this, the old man was stunned.
The young master had forgotten the previous unpleasantness, and along with it... the fear of those people in the pavilion... If that was the case, perhaps the current young master could avoid being bullied.
Thinking of this, an extremely bright light burst forth in the old man's eyes. He quickly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, the young master does not need to fear them! This pavilion was bestowed upon the young master by the city lord. Those people were sent by the city lord to care for the young master. The young master is the city lord's younger brother, a proud son of heaven, and has no need to fear anyone."
As he spoke, the old man pulled Wang Jin to sit down in a corner and began to chatter, accusing those two...
The more Wang Jin listened, the uglier his expression became...
So it turned out those two took advantage of the original owner's soft and timid nature and acted like masters in this pavilion, treating the original owner as a punching bag!
When outsiders were present, they were respectful to the original owner, but inside the pavilion when no outsiders were around, they often hit and scolded the original owner, monopolizing his food and supplies...
Wang Jin listened, feeling angry, but more than that, incredulous.
"Uncle Shan, then Xi..." He paused, then changed his wording: "Then, in the past, I just let them bully me like this?"
The original owner was the city lord's younger brother. From the behavior of Cheng Bai and Zhao Qi earlier... they were still quite respectful towards the original owner... and after returning to the city, that older brother city lord was also extremely gentle towards the original owner... It didn't seem like the original owner was disliked by the city lord...
How did the original owner end up like this?
The ger's face was dark with anger, looking unable to accept that he had been bullied and humiliated. Uncle Shan opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally said tremulously: "The young master has always been kind-hearted... and tolerated them again and again..."
"..." This isn't kindness... This is "doormat" behavior, being weak enough to be bullied to this extent.
If in his previous life there were servants who dared to do such things, he would have long since had them sold!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Wang Jin stood up abruptly: "No, I must teach them a lesson! I must make them understand who the master here is!"
In his previous life, Wang Jin was actually quite good to his servants, but the premise was that those servants were good to him and took care of him wholeheartedly. But these two... forget wholehearted care, they were quite skilled at monopolizing the original owner's food.
Remembering the slap from earlier, the fire in Wang Jin's heart burned hotter, wishing it could burn right onto those two.
