Chapter 802: Oh No, He’s Going to Inform Them

Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Dafu hurriedly waved his hand. “I can’t accept the money. They’re just two servants. I’ll just give them to Young Master Dai.”

“That won’t do,” Dai Wenhuo said meaningfully. “If that’s the case, I’ll be criticized if word gets out. I don’t want to be criticized behind my back for two servants.”

Zhou Dafu suddenly came back to his senses and thought of the prefecture magistrate Dai’s identity.

Indeed, giving gifts was one thing, but it couldn’t be done openly. What if someone targeted the prefecture magistrate and reported him to the emperor? Wouldn’t it mean that he had done something bad out of good intentions? Not only did he not let Young Master Dai owe him a favor, but he also made people hate him?

At the thought of this, Zhou Dafu shuddered on the spot and said with a serious expression, “Young Master Dai makes sense. We’re doing a normal transaction.”

“That’s right. It’s better to write it clearly in a contract.”

Without another word, Zhou Dafu asked the butler to bring a pen and paper over. He wrote down the contract that Bian Han and Gu Dafeng had been sold to Dai Wenhuo, signed it, and gave each of them a copy.

Dai Wenhuo put away his copy in satisfaction, and a glint flashed across his slightly lowered eyes. That’s right. It was a normal transaction, and the silver had been paid. In the future, don’t ask me for favors just because you have given me two servants. I wouldn’t admit it.

Zhou Dafu had misunderstood and did not realize that he had fallen into Dai Wenhuo’s trap.

He invited Dai Wenhuo to drink tea, then asked someone to bring the servant with the surname Bian.

The servant turned around to go, but he was stopped by Steward Zhou halfway. “I’ll go.”

The person sent by Mrs. Zhou happened to see it. He immediately ran back to the Tranquil Orchid Courtyard and panted as he recounted the matter.

When Mrs. Zhou heard that Dai Wenhuo was here to ask for the servants, she was stunned.

Could it be that the brother that the Gu woman met was related to the prefecture magistrate’s family? He didn’t come before because he went to ask the young master for help?

“Oh no, Madam, Steward Zhou is on good terms with Mrs. Ren. I’m afraid he went to inform her, right?” The nanny suddenly exclaimed.

Mrs. Zhou could not sit still anymore. “Let’s go to the front yard to take a look. Nanny, bring someone to the Snow Blowing Garden personally to bring her out. If Mrs. Ren stops you, say that it’s Old Master’s orders. If she delays you, we’ll teach her a lesson.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

“Bring a few more people.”

The nanny immediately ordered a few servants in the courtyard to leave with her. Mrs. Zhou tidied her clothes and led the two maidservants to the front courtyard.

At this moment, Gu Yundong also saw Steward Zhou, who had stopped the servants and personally went to look for the servants. A bad feeling flashed across her heart. She whispered to Dai Wenhuo, “I’ll go to the toilet.”

Dai Wenhuo knew that she must have something to do and immediately scolded, “I told you to drink less water before leaving. Come back quickly.”

Zhou Dafu saw that although Dai Wenhuo was dissatisfied, he did not seem angry at all. He knew that Dai Wenhuo definitely liked this servant. Hence, he quickly said, “I’ll get the servant to bring this young man over.”

Gu Yundong said in a rough voice, “No need, no need. I’ll just go out and ask.”

Then, she looked like she couldn’t hold it in anymore and ran away.

Zhou Dafu frowned slightly and hurriedly gave the butler a look. This was his residence. Although the other party was brought over by Young Master Dai, the servant could not walk around casually. His study had many secrets.

The butler hurried to catch up, but Gu Yundong ran very fast. How could the butler catch up?
