Seeing Lin Wanrong's cold smile, Xiao Er suddenly remembered the hardships she had suffered at his hands and didn't dare to say anything more. With tears welling up in her eyes, she said: "You scoundrel, I'll be bullied to death by you sooner or later."

  Seeing the arrogant and overbearing Second Miss being forced to this state, Lin Wanrong couldn't bear to make things difficult for her anymore. Her current appearance was indeed not convenient for going out to see people. Lin Wanrong looked around and saw that beside General Zhenyuan there were a few pieces of soft silk, so he took them over and placed them under Second Miss Xiao's body, saying: "Don't use too much force, slowly sit down."

  Xiao Yuxiang knew he was kind-hearted, but she couldn't help staring at him. Lin Wanrong pretended not to see it and helped Xiao Yuxiang sit down slowly by holding her hand.

  Her buttocks had just touched the silk, and Xiao'er still frowned in pain. With Lin Wanrong's support, she finally sat down slowly, enduring the pain. Lin Wanrong sat beside her, leaning against the wall with a big thud.

  The two people didn't say a word to each other, and for a moment, this empty room was extremely quiet.

  Xiao Yuxiang sat by the wall, feeling the burning sensation on her buttocks, and couldn't help but blush as she secretly glanced at Lin San, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes downcast, a hint of desolation on his face, lost in thought.

  "Lin, Lin San, don't worry, I swear from now on I won't let the dog bite you again." Xiao Er thought he was still worried about her revenge and hurriedly made clear her intentions.

  Lin Wanrong, however, was not thinking that way. He had a bit of a tussle with the little girl and felt somewhat exhausted. Sitting there wanting to rest, he suddenly thought that after coming to this world, he would never see his parents or sister again, and his mood sank heavily.

  Xiao Yuxiang saw him with a stern face and not speaking, thinking he didn't believe her, so she hastily added: "Really, Lin San, you have to believe me, I won't bully you again, let's make up."

  Make peace? Lin Wanrong couldn't help but laugh, you think this is a child's game of playing house, and now you want to make peace. But at this time, the little girl was much gentler, maybe she really was scared by herself.

  "Second Miss, as long as you keep your promise, I won't do anything to you." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

  Xiao Yuxiang lightly hummed a sound, secretly gazing at him, her eyes rolling around, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

  Lin Wanrong glanced at the General Zhenyuan who had not yet untied his reins and smiled, saying: "Second Miss, was this General Zhenyuan specially brought to Suzhou by you to deal with me?"

  Xiao Yuxiang's face turned red for a moment, and she said: "Which one is specifically for you? It's just that I think it's fun to see it, so I brought it back to raise and play with."

  Lin Wanrong saw that her eyes flickered and knew that this little girl didn't tell the truth, so he said: "Since that's the case, I'll slaughter this beast today. Don't be fooled, dog meat is really delicious."

  Xiao Er's face turned red with rage: "You dare to..." Seeing Lin Wanrong staring at her, her tone softened and she continued: "Fine, fine, it doesn't matter if you know. General Zhenyuan was someone I brought from Suzhou specifically to deal with you, but who would have thought..."

  "Who would have thought that before you could even be of use, you'd fall into my hands? Is that right?" Lin Wanrong cut her off.

  Xiao Yuxiang recalled the scene where she fell into his hands and was spanked by him, her face again uncontrollably flushed with a few shades of pink, lowering her head to say: "Lin San, can I ask you for a favor?"

  "En, speak." Seeing this little girl's attitude being sincere and honest, Lin Wanrong nodded.

  "Don't hit my butt - it's none of your business, okay? Especially don't let my mom and sister know." Xiao Yuxiang's face turned red as she said this. Although she was still young, she was a girl after all, and a rich miss at that. If someone had spanked her butt and word got out, she would be mortified.

  Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Second Miss, what do you want me to keep secret? Ah, what happened this afternoon, I don't remember anything at all."

  Xiao Yuxiang saw his pretending-to-be-stupid look and knew he was trying to comfort her, so she felt very grateful and said: "Lin San, this Town Far General has not provoked you, can you let it go first?"

  Lin Wanrong stared at himself, worried that he would be misunderstood. Second Miss hastily explained: "I want to raise it, our Xiao family's yard is big, and in the future, it can also guard the house."

  Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "As long as you don't let this vicious dog bully people, whatever you want to do is fine."

  Miss Xiao hurriedly said: "It won't happen, it won't happen, don't worry, if I bully others again, you can hit me... hit me there." Miss Xiao's cheeks had two streaks of pink, as if she had thought of his punishment for herself once again.

  The two of them rested for a while longer, and then Lin Wanrong had Xiao Yuxiang open the mechanism, whereupon the door automatically swung open.

  It feels great to see the sun again, Lin Wanrong stretched out a lazy waist, and was slightly worried about Xiao Erniang and Zhen Yujiangjun. Turning back, he saw that the vicious dog was still staring at him with piercing eyes, while Xiao Erniang was leaning against the wall in deep thought.

  Today, having dealt with this little girl, Lin Wanrong believed that she wouldn't have the guts to provoke herself again. With a sense of relief in her heart, she was about to leave when Xiao Yuxiang said: "You, slave - Lin San, are you leaving?"

  Although she swallowed the two words "nucai" in time, Lin Wanrong still felt a sense of discomfort in her heart and couldn't help but glare at her, saying: "Xiao Erniang, I already told you very clearly just now. Although I am a servant in your household, we are only in an employer-employee relationship. I am not some kind of slave or servant of yours. I hope you can understand."

  Looking at his serious expression, Xiao Yufeng pouted and said: "If you don't want to be called that, then I won't call you that. You're so fierce, what's the point? Then I'll just call you Lin San from now on, okay?"

  Her tone was surprisingly gentle, probably because she had been intimidated by Lin Wanrong. This Xiao Er Missy, if not for her viciousness when setting the dog on someone, would actually be a very lovely young girl, sixteen or seventeen years old, an age that was originally meant to be endearing, so Lin Wanrong found it really hard to get angry with her.

  "No problem, everyone calls me Lin San, you can call me that too." said Lin Wanrong.

  "Is Lin San your real name?" asked Miss Xiao Er, a clever girl with curiosity.

  "A name is just a symbol, in the Xiao family, Lin San is me." Lin Wanrong said with a smile. In this large courtyard of the Xiao family, regardless of maidservants and house slaves, everyone was given the surname Xiao, except for Lin Wanrong.

  Xiao Yuxiang knew he didn't want to tell her his real name, and couldn't help but hum softly: "So petty."

  Lin Wanrong was unwilling to drag things out with her any longer and was just about to leave when he heard Xiao Yuxiang shout again: "Lin, Lin San, wait a minute."

  Lin Wanrong turned around and said irritably: "Second Miss, what's going on again?"

  "Lin San, I heard the girls say that you can recite poetry and hum many little tunes, is that true?" asked Xiao Yu Xue, looking at him with a hopeful expression.

  "No way!" Lin Wanrong replied bluntly, joking that if everyone came to him for poetry recitals, wouldn't he be drained dry?

  "Hmph, I've never seen anyone as petty as you." Xiao Yuxiang snorted and said: "You won't say who painted that painting, you won't say whose idea it was to make that little book, and when I ask you to recite a few lines of poetry, you're not willing? Do you have so many grievances? I've been beaten by you like that, and yet you still treat me like this?"

  Xiao Er's eyes were red and puffy, remembering the grievances she had suffered, her tears were already welling up and about to fall.

  Today, Monday, after work tonight, I'll go for another IV drip to consolidate my recovery. Tomorrow should be back to two posts a day. This cold has finally made me realize that as someone in their thirties, I'm no longer the young man I was in my twenties. How sad.
