Chapter 105 Dismissing the Servants
"Puchi... Li'er, you are so generous to share your last name." Gongsun Zijun couldn't help laughing when he heard that.
"What can I share with my brother?" Yan Li said with a smile.
"Although the old man expelled me from the Gongsun family, he did not take away my surname." Gongsun Zijun no longer called Gongsun Hong grandpa.
"I know, brother, I was just kidding you." Yan Li said with a smile.
"If Li'er wishes, I can take your surname Yan." Gongsun Zijun looked at Yan Li with a smile.
"I promised my uncle that I would not agree. Don't think too much, brother. This way, you can live in Prince Zhan's Mansion without worrying about harassment from the Gongsun family." Yan Li said.
"That's true, but it's not a good idea for me to keep living in Prince Zhan's Mansion. I can go back to Tingyu Villa." Gongsun Zijun said.
"No, at least not in the near future." Yan Li shook her head.
After all, the Gongsun family is now planning to use one hundred direct descendants to repair the blood pool formation.
If Gongsun Zijun was in Prince Zhan's Mansion, they would not dare to come to Prince Zhan's Mansion to snatch people. But if Gongsun Zijun returned to Tingyu Cottage, it might not be the same.
"Li'er is right, Zijun, it is indeed not suitable for you to leave Prince Zhan's Mansion during this period of time. The Gongsun family is eyeing you covetously." Prince Xiao said as he walked in.
"I have been living in the Zhanwang Mansion..."
"It's not inconvenient at all. On the contrary, Li'er will be happier if you live here."
Gongsun Zijun was interrupted by the War King who just walked in before he could finish his words.
"Thank you very much, King Zhan." Gongsun Zijun hurriedly thanked him upon hearing this.
"Senior brother is the best." Yan Li looked at the War King and gave a big smile.
"As long as you are happy." The War King came over and touched her little head.
"Miss, the steward of the general's mansion outside wants to see you." The guard came in to report.
"It's the butler, let him in." Upon hearing that it was the butler of the general's mansion, Yan Li immediately let him in.
"Li'er, you seem to treat the housekeeper differently." Gongsun Zijun looked at Yan Li curiously.
"Brother, you don't know that when I was in the Gongsun family, I would have died long ago if the housekeeper hadn't secretly brought me medicine and food." Yan Li raised her head and looked at Gongsun Zijun.
"It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of you." Gongsun Zijun looked at Yan Li with guilt in his eyes.
"No, brother has done a great job." Yan Li shook her head when she heard that.
"The old man often sent me out to perform tasks and promised that as long as I was obedient and carried out various tasks, he would treat me well. I didn't expect that he didn't do it." Gongsun Zijun said.
"Brother, those hardships are in the past. We should look forward. Aren't we doing well now?" Yan Li said, holding his big hand.
"Yes, we have to look forward. After all, we have escaped from that devil's cave." Gongsun Zijun smiled when he heard this.
At this time, the steward of the general's mansion was brought in by the guards. He looked at Gongsun Zijun with sympathy.
"Young Master, Fifth Miss." The butler's attitude towards them remained the same.
"Butler, we are no longer the eldest son and fifth daughter of the general's mansion. You don't have to be like this." Gongsun Zijun looked at the butler gently.
After all, the housekeeper had helped Yan Li so much.
"Butler, could it be that Gongsun Hong regretted removing you from the list and asked you to invite him back?" Yan Li looked at the butler with amusement.
"No, Miss Fifth, the general has dismissed all the servants in the general's mansion, including me." said the butler.
"Send away all the servants?" Yan Li was a little surprised.
Could it be that Gongsun Hong was afraid that his intention to sacrifice one hundred direct descendants would be known to others, after all, many people would talk a lot?
The disappearance of so many direct descendants from the General's Mansion at once would definitely attract attention.
So he simply dismissed all his servants.
"I came here this time to hand these things over to the eldest young master. After learning that the eldest young master was expelled, I collected all the things in your yard." After the butler said this, he handed Gongsun Zijun a space ring.
"Thank you, butler." Gongsun Zijun took the space ring.
I didn't expect the housekeeper to be so thoughtful and even packed up his own things.
"Butler, what are your plans next?" Yan Li looked at the butler.
"I am alone, but I also have a hometown. Since I have left the general's mansion, I want to go back to my hometown." A trace of longing flashed across the butler's eyes.
"Butler, this is a disguise pill. After you take it, your appearance and aura will change. You'd better change your name as well." Yan Li handed a pill to the butler.
"Fifth Miss, this..." The butler was a little flattered when he saw the disguise pill in front of him.
"Butler, do you think Gongsun Hong will let you leave so easily? Especially you, you know too much about him." Yan Li looked at the butler.
"Miss Fifth is right." Upon hearing this, the housekeeper immediately reacted and became very scared.
"Don't worry, this disguise pill will keep your appearance as long as you don't take the antidote." Yan Li looked at the housekeeper with a smile.
"Thank you, Fifth Miss." The butler's eyes were full of gratitude.
"The butler is kind-hearted, so I naturally don't want anything to happen to you. Butler, here are 10 million gold coins. Take them back to your parents and you can live a stable life." Yan Li also handed him a gold coin card.
"Miss Fifth, I accept the Disguise Pill, but I cannot accept the gold coins." The butler quickly pushed the gold coin card back.
"Butler, please accept it. It is Li'er's gift." Gongsun Zijun looked at the butler.
Finally, after some reluctance, the butler accepted it.
He took a disguise pill to change his appearance and put on a set of gorgeous clothes.
No one would equate him with a butler.
The butler stayed in Prince Zhan's mansion until the evening before leaving with Prince Xiao's carriage.
Because Yan Li and the others knew that the butler would be targeted as soon as he left the general's mansion.
And when he left in King Xiao's carriage, those who were following him would not notice him.
They never thought that Yan Li, who had always been indifferent to everyone in the General's Mansion, would be so attentive to a housekeeper.
Therefore, the butler escaped this disaster safely.
"It seems that Gongsun Hong has made up his mind to sacrifice one hundred direct descendants of the Gongsun family." Yan Li sighed after the butler left.
"The Gongsun family has long been rotten from the root. Since he wants to clean it up himself, why not do it?" After saying this, King Zhan looked at Yan Li.
"That's true." Yan Li nodded.
At this time, the general's mansion was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
Gongsun Hong gathered all his direct descendants together.
"As everyone knows, our Gongsun family's prosperity depends on you. Now the two ancestors have decided to select one hundred of you to teach personally." Gongsun Hong's words excited the direct descendants of the Gongsun family.
They looked in the direction of Gongsun Hong with shining eyes.
They all hope to be chosen, but they don't know that being chosen means the road to death.
"In fact, the two ancestors have already selected these one hundred people, and the list is here." Gongsun Hong took out the list he had prepared long ago.
