"You intend to kill me and silence me! Are your ears deaf? Chancellor Shi Yun is my grandfather, and he is on his way here. Today, if I die, you won't live to see another day either."
Shi Yun, born from the depths of the prison, has methods that need no explanation. Even if you are not afraid of death, a slight move from him could implicate your families in your crimes.
I am his grandson, and just as he learned of my existence today, you plan to kill me. Can you imagine the fury he will unleash? You and your families—can you withstand it?
If you stop now, there is still a chance for you to live.
I know it must be someone behind you who ordered this. Whether he can escape today is still uncertain. As he approaches, perhaps you should consider your own fates first.
Think clearly; if you dare not defy your master's orders, you can at least delay a little. If you buy me some time until help arrives, I will plead for your lives. Your lives will surely be spared, and your families will remain safe.
The Steward hesitated; after hearing these words, he was already swayed.
The trouble was the burly man before him, clearly a loyal servant who showed no signs of stopping. The knife was already raised, and Wang Kuan instinctively wanted to dodge.
But before the knife could fall, the Steward unexpectedly pulled out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed the burly man in the back. Perhaps due to frequent fights, he knew exactly where to strike for maximum impact. The frail Steward managed to disable the threat with one swift blow.
This decisive moment left Wang Kuan stunned.
After finishing his task, the Steward turned to Wang Kuan and asked, "What you said about helping me plead for mercy—was that true?"
Wang Kuan nodded; the blade was pointed at him, making the threat clear.
The Steward confirmed again, "Really?"
At this moment, Wang Kuan smiled. "Every word I say is sincere; it just depends on whether you believe it."
The Steward lowered his knife and sighed bitterly. "I have a family; we all live in Jingjing City. It would be easy for me to run away, but if Chancellor gets angry, they won't escape. After all these years of hard work, it's all been for my family."
"Do you really believe that Chancellor is my grandfather?"
News spread through the city that Chancellor was indeed rushing over here and was nearing the entrance. People in the courtyard were already fleeing in all directions. The Steward sat down on the ground and casually cut through the ropes binding him. "As for me, I'm already Ji Da's age; I won't run anymore—I can't even run. If Little Master has second thoughts, just don't involve my family."
"You are quite clear-headed."
Over the years of coming and going among many influential figures, I've gained experience and insight into various outcomes; it's not too bad.
Shi Yun entered this hidden place without regard for others and rushed toward the courtyard. When he saw Wang Kuan from afar, he stopped in his tracks, not daring to approach.
Wang Kuan called out to him, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get to work! With such a great achievement at hand, do you really want to share it with someone else?"
"I was thinking of taking over your family business when you're close to death since you're left with only this little bloodline of mine. Now that I've had no choice but to reveal my identity before you, I naturally need to spur you on to keep working hard; what you gain means more for me as well."
"Hmph! I am the most precious Only Child of the Shi Family. If my elders were still around, they would surely favor me. It won't be so easy for you to recognize me."
This attitude made Shi Yun feel a sharp pain in his chest turn into a headache instantly. He had just met him and couldn't afford to lose his temper right away; he couldn't bring himself to say comforting words either. Instead, he turned away and vented all his emotions onto this estate.
This place is a venue for officials seeking pleasure, characterized by the fact that those who serve them are highly knowledgeable, often even more so than the officials themselves. They take a perverse satisfaction in casually trampling on these individuals.
