Chapter 471 Kind Ji Chen
When Liu'er saw the little servant boy shamelessly harassing Yuan Ying, she got so angry that she started cursing.
"Deputy General Yuan, don't believe this bastard's lies. He was delayed in shopping, but the Second Young Master only deducted half a month's salary from him, and he still insulted the Young Master to death."
"You don't know that this bitch is not a clean person. She has often stolen your jewelry and pawned it for money. It's only because you are kind-hearted that I know you."
"I turned a blind eye to it because he was filial to his father, but now he is slandering you like this! Your kindness is really in vain."
Liu'er was originally Ji Chen's person. He knew that his young master liked the former deputy general. Of course, he couldn't let the former deputy general have a bad impression of his young master, so he did everything he could to discredit him.
"You bullshit!"
The little servant boy raised his head angrily, looking at Liu'er who had slandered him with a look of shock, staring at him with his red and swollen eyes.
"I didn't steal anything! I didn't, it wasn't me~"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a servant stood up and echoed what Liu'er said.
"Brother Liu is right. I saw it too."
"I live with Shu'er, and I have seen him hiding a small package several times, acting mysteriously."
"Yes, yes, yes, I saw it too. One time I accidentally knocked Shu'er over, and a willow-leaf hairpin inlaid with jade fell out of his arms."
Shu'er was the little servant boy. When he saw that the people he had a good relationship with turned against him and slandered him, he was so angry that his eyes widened and his whole body trembled.
"You... you..."
"No...it's not like that..."
Shu'er turned around and grabbed Yuanying's sleeve tightly, his voice agitated and flustered, crying.
"General Yuan, please believe me. I really didn't steal anything. I can swear to God."
"I really didn't, believe me~"
Yuan Ying, who always disliked people getting close to her, frowned slightly.
Seeing this scene, Ji Chen's hands under his sleeves slightly clenched the handkerchief, and viciousness flashed in his eyes. He wished he could skin Shu'er alive.
But her expression pretended to be extremely gentle and kind, and she looked at Yuan Ying with a pair of pitiful almond eyes, saying aggrievedly.
"Sister Yuan, don't you believe in Chen'er?"
"Chen'er is a prince of the royal palace. He has everything he wants. How could he wrongly accuse a servant?" Yuan Ying frowned: "This..."
Ji Chen lowered his eyelashes and spoke softly to express his generosity and kindness.
"Forget it, this matter is not a big deal. Just take it as a lesson for Chen'er's inability to judge people."
Then he turned to Liu'er beside him and said softly, "Liu'er, give him a hundred taels and let him go."
Liu'er didn't expect that the Master would just let Shu'er go like this, she was a little stunned: "But Master, he signed a contract to sell himself."
Moreover, he had only been in the palace for three months, not even the twenty-year redemption period.
Ji Chen glanced at Yuan Ying with his moist eyes and said softly, "Return the indenture to him."
He glanced at the shivering Shu'er with a look of pity and a gentle smile.
"It's pitiful that she sold herself into slavery at such a young age in order to take care of her seriously ill father. Just think of it as a good deed."
No matter how dissatisfied Liu'er was, she did not dare to refute the Second Young Master's decision.
"Yes."
He asked someone to bring one hundred taels of silver, the indenture contract and the package to Shu'er, with a proud look full of charity.
"The Second Young Master is kind-hearted and will let you go home. Here are a hundred taels of silver and the indenture. Take them."
Shu'er didn't expect this ending, but he was already very happy to be alive. Being a simple-minded person, he didn't think too much about it. He cried with joy and expressed gratitude to Ji Chen.
"Thank you, Second Young Master! Thank you, Second Young Master!"
"Okay, let's go."
Liu'er impatiently drove people away.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Shu'er quickly hugged the package, wiped her tears, smiled and turned away.
What he didn't see was the sneer on Liu'er's face behind him.
