C2282 The Old Butler

"Young Master, Madam asked me to tell you that she misses you very much. She wants to see you right now, but because of the rules of the family, she can't come here. She will definitely come to visit you on the day she returns to her ancestors and holds a grand feast." The steward continued.

Wang Xiao firmly believed what the steward said. Madam and patriarch must miss him very much and want to see him right now. However, because of the family rules, they could still come to see him now.

What an old-fashioned family with so many rules.

"Old butler, when can we officially acknowledge our ancestors and return?" Wang Xiao asked.

He did not want to waste too much time. He did not want to stay in the Zhou family. He would sleep every day after he was full. He would eat when he woke up. Wasn't this a boring life?

Moreover, Wang Xiao wanted to return to the Huaxing Gang as soon as possible. After the brothers of the Huaxing Gang had rested, he would bring everyone to Falang Mountain to deal with Rite Ancestor and Venomous Insect Woman. Damn it, even if they didn't start a massacre in Falang Mountain, even if they couldn't start a massacre in Falang Mountain, Wang Xiao would still scare the magic ancestors and the Venomous Insect Woman to death.

"I don't know the exact date, but it won't be long." The butler said.

"Please tell Madam and Patriarch not to waste too much time" Wang Xiao said.

"Young Master, please don't be in a hurry. The family naturally needs to plan and organize this matter properly. No matter what, it will take at least three to five days." The old butler said.

Wang Xiao frowned. No matter what the old butler said, it would take at least three to five days. Damn it, it would take at most ten days and half a month. If it was really that long, wouldn't he be staying in the Zhou Family forever?

Seeing Wang Xiao's unhappy expression, the old butler said, "Of course, Madam and Patriarch will arrange it as soon as possible. After all, Madam and Patriarch have been thinking about you day and night, and have wanted to meet you for a long time."

When the old butler spoke to Wang Xiao, he was very excited and respected Wang Xiao. Because he was Madam's old butler, and also the Patriarch's old butler, he was loyal to Madam and Patriarch.

All these years, seeing Madam and the Clan Chief in pain because of the loss of their children, especially the Clan Chief, he had always lived a life of exile. The old butler was also very upset, praying that his wife and patriarch could live happily. He did not want to suffer so much anymore.

Today, Wang Xiao finally returned to his family and the patriarch's side. When he saw the smile on the patriarch's face, the old butler was also very happy in his heart.

"Young Master, I will arrange a place for you to rest first. Please come with me." The old butler said respectfully.

"Alright, thank you." Wang Xiao nodded and said.

He turned around and looked at the Great Elder. Wang Xiao said calmly, "Great Elder, thank you for welcoming us. I am a little tired. I want to rest."

"Yes."

The Great Elder nodded expressionlessly. He walked away like a dragon or a tiger. In front of so many people in the family, he actually welcomed Wang Xiao personally.

What would those people in the family think of him? How would they talk about this matter? Those people would definitely think that he no longer wanted to fight for the position of patriarch. Otherwise, he would not welcome Wang Xiao.

"Everyone, let's go. Madam has said that everyone in the family will be rewarded." At this moment, the old butler shouted to everyone.

Long live Madam!

Long live Madam!

Long live Chief!

...

When they heard that there was a reward, countless servants began to shout "Long live the Madam. The reward was very important to him. Because it was real gold and silver. Almost all of the Zhou Family's servants were born from poor families.

Only those who were born into poor families would walk the path of becoming a servant. As for the disciples of the Zhou Family, although they liked rewards, they weren't as excited as the servants.

After all, they were born in the Zhou Family and had seen a lot of things. At least, they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, so they didn't really care about money. The crowd dispersed one after another. From the beginning until the end, they didn't pay much attention to money. People took the initiative to stand out and talk to Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao didn't say a word to them either.

Because Wang Xiao did not know them, and neither did they know Wang Xiao. Perhaps they already knew Wang Xiao's name, but they had only heard of him. Perhaps they had only seen him before, and no one had any relationship with him.

Those servants also turned around and left. A few beautiful female servants looked at Wang Xiao shyly. Wang Xiao ignored their gazes and did not see them in front of him.

"Disperse. Disperse. Everyone, go back to your seats." The old butler waved his hand. The ceremony to welcome Wang Xiao was very simple. The main purpose was to let everyone in Zhou Family know that Wang Xiao had returned.

As for the bigger ceremony, such as the memorial ceremony, the reception of family and friends, and the grand banquet, they had yet to begin. The originally dense crowd in front of the gate had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only smoke and firecrackers all over the ground.

"Young Master, please. This old servant will take you to rest. The journey is tiring, you should be very tired." said the old butler politely.

"Old housekeeper, you should call me Wang Xiao. Also, in front of me, please don't call yourself this old servant. You are my elder." Wang Xiao said seriously. Because he could see that this old man was loyal to his parents, he was more polite to the old housekeeper.

"Young Master, how can I call you by your name? In my heart, you will always be my Young Master." The old butler said seriously.

Ai!

Wang Xiao secretly sighed. Let him be.

Wang Xiao knew the characters of these old men. He also knew that these old men were stubborn and conservative. They followed the rules. Once they decided on something, they would not change it easily. So they could only let him do as he pleased.

"Old housekeeper, how many years have you been with Madam?" Wang Xiao asked.

"Haha, many years." When he mentioned this, the old butler's eyes lit up, as if following his wife was a glorious thing to show off.

The old butler's face revealed a proud expression, and then he said in high spirits, "When I followed Madam, Young Master, you were not even born yet, and Madam was raised by me when I was young. To be honest, this old servant is a member of Yi Lan Family."

Wang Xiao understood. The old butler was not a member of Zhou Family. He was a member of Yi Lan Family. Yi Lan Family was the family of her parents, Yi Lan. This family was destroyed by someone.

Yi Lan Family was also a very ancient family. This family had a history of at least a few hundred years. It was just that it had been destroyed in recent times. As for who it was destroyed by, perhaps Madam did not know either.

The old butler was over 60 years old. As for the madam, she was only in her forties. Therefore, if the madam was brought up by the old butler, it was indeed reasonable. After Yi Lan's family was destroyed, the old butler followed the madam to the Zhou Family.

Perhaps in Madam's heart, she had long regarded the old butler as her father. Under the old butler's lead, Elder Zhou and Wang Xiao had already passed through the huge square and countless villas.

The land of the Zhou Family was very large, and there were also countless courtyards of different sizes in the huge walls and courtyards. There was a villa area, a high-rise area, an ancient ancestral area, as well as leisure and entertainment areas.

There were countless lawns, gardens, and so on. If ordinary people walked in the headquarters of the Zhou Family... If they walked, they wouldn't be able to walk around the courtyard of the Zhou Family even if they walked for a day. From this, one could see how big the courtyard was.

"Young Master, Madam told the patriarch that she must arrange a quiet place for you. That's why you are in such a remote place. Please don't take offense." Every time the old butler spoke to Wang Xiao, he would first clasp his fists and bow before speaking. Wang Xiao really couldn't stand his conservative personality.

"It's fine. Anyway, I like a peaceful life." Wang Xiao didn't care.

Their parents had their reasons for making such arrangements. They certainly did not want to be disturbed, so they made such an arrangement on purpose. However, Wang Xiao was very satisfied with this arrangement. He just did not like a noisy life.

After the formalities were over, he would officially become a member of the Zhou Family. In the future, he would be able to come and go as he pleased. Wang Xiao didn't see Zhou Fuloong in the crowd today. He was the son of the Great Elder.

Wang Xiao had seen Zhou Fuloong before. This bastard was very arrogant. After entering the Zhou Family, the first trouble he had to deal with was probably Zhou Fuloong. Zhou Fuloong was the child of the Great Elder, so he would naturally help the Great Elder. As long as there was someone who stopped the Great Elder from becoming the patriarch, he wouldn't be polite.

If the Great Elder became the patriarch, he would be the next patriarch. Therefore, Zhou Fuloong would definitely protect his father's interests. Wang Xiao had to take precautions against this.

In a quiet courtyard, a strange villa appeared. This villa did not occupy a large area, but it was unique and had a beautiful environment. In the entire courtyard, there was only this villa.

In front of the villa was grass, and behind it was a small bamboo forest. There were all kinds of scenery on both sides of the villa. Such a villa, such a beautiful environment, coupled with the fact that it was in the first region of the capital, would at least cost tens of millions.

However, such expensive villas could be found everywhere in the Zhou Family. In the great manor of the Zhou Family, there were no less than a few dozen of such villas, and there were more than a hundred high-rise buildings. In addition to the palaces, courtyards, houses of ancient families, and so on, the Zhou Family really had a huge family.

Today, when the price of houses was so high, many ordinary people didn't even have a single room, but the Zhou Family actually had so many houses. There was a saying that went, 'The world is unfair to begin with. Ninety percent of the wealth is concentrated in ten percent, and ninety percent of the people only have ten percent of the wealth.' This saying was indeed true.

"Young Master, this is your resting place. Rest assured. No one will disturb you." The old butler brought Wang Xiao to the front of the villa and said respectfully.

This villa only had two floors. It was neither tall nor short. If it was too tall or too short, it would not match the small garden. When Wang Xiao opened the door, the hall on the first floor was very bright. The wires were closed very well.

As for the decoration inside, it was impeccable. Not only was it luxurious, but it also matched well. The positions of all the items were arranged strictly according to the design.

Wang Xiao was very satisfied with this room.1

"Young Master, are you satisfied? If not, I'll change it for you." The old butler asked.

"Yes, yes, very satisfied." Wang Xiao nodded.

What a joke. If he wasn't satisfied with this, what else could he do? And to Wang Xiao, as long as he had a position to rest and food to eat, it would be fine.

Wang Xiao was not very particular about life.

"It's good that you're satisfied. It's good that you're satisfied." The old butler nodded happily.

Wang Xiao's satisfaction was his happiness. Seeing Young Master and Wang Xiao's satisfaction, the old butler was also very satisfied.

"Young Master, I will walk around the room with you and introduce you to the environment." The old butler said.

"No need." Wang Xiao shook his head.
