Chapter 52: Feng Manor in Northern Qing
After the boat had sailed, Feng Shen went back to the cabin. In the cabin, the old man in yellow and the servants were already waiting there.
"B*stards, where are the people on duty today when the Young Master was drowning?" The old man’s white beard was trembling and he had a furious expression.
If they had not met with someone who had the means to help, Young Master Feng Shen would have died.
"Please punish us, Young Master." All the servants kneeled and their knees made a sound as they did so, and they were all well-coordinated as if they were military-trained.
They were well aware that if they didn’t encounter a benefactor, Young Master Feng Shen would have been in serious danger. They would then return to Northern Qing where the Qing Emperor would punish them.
"Teacher, it wasn’t intentional." Feng Shen had a good-tempered expression on his face.
Some servants who were still standing breathed out a sigh of relief. Feng Shen was merciful and it seemed like he wanted to be understanding of his men even when met with such a situation. He was a coward, like what those rumors pictured him to be.
"Young Master, every nation has its laws and every family has its own rules. They should never have broken the Feng manor rules." The old man had a glum expression on his face.
The old man started to talk nonstop, saying that if anything had happened to Young Master, he would not know how to face the Feng family’s ancestors and the people.
"If that is the case, punish three of them as a warning for others." Since Feng Shen had a weak immune system, he caught a cold right after falling into the water and his head felt a little heavy.
