2809: C2809 Hu Family(2)

C2809 Hu Family(2)

But the Hu steward was not sure whether the man in front of him was the one he had in mind.

"You... you..."

He said "you" for a long time, but he still didn't say the name.

"I am Faang Cheng!"

Faang Cheng nodded and introduced himself.

"You're really Master Fang... Ah... It's Young... Young Master Fang!"

Many people still remembered Faang Cheng as the lord of the region, so most of them still called him "Lord Fang." But on second thought, they felt that it was not very appropriate! After all, the current ruler of the vast ocean was Mo Lang. Although it was said that he had a good relationship with Young Master Fang, there was still a subtle connection between them. People didn't mean to call him 'Master Mo', but it sounded harsh to the ears of others!

"Let's... have a cup of tea! We can talk while we drink!"

Faang Cheng pointed to a simple tea house not far away and said to Butler Hu with a smile.

"Huh? Oh, alright!"

Butler Hu seemed to be overwhelmed by the unexpected favor! He was a butler of a relatively small family, and he had just been chased out by the Young Master. Thus, he couldn't even be considered a housekeeper now. Why would the famous Young Master Fang invite him to have a cup of tea?

Apart from being surprised and surprised, Butler Hu also felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The three of them walked into the teahouse and sat at a table in the corner. They ordered a pot of plain tea, and Faang Cheng immediately opened his mouth!

"I heard... Old Patriarch Hu has passed away!"

He asked softly, with a hint of indifference in his tone.

"Ah, yes! It happened three days ago. Today... Today just so happens to be the funeral and burial day!"

Butler Hu nodded hurriedly, confirming Faang Cheng's thoughts.

"Oh? Is it today's funeral and burial? But... when I was passing by the Hu Family just now, I didn't see any intention for them to hold such a big funeral today!"

Faang Cheng looked at Housekeeper Hu in confusion.

After Butler Hu heard Faang Cheng's words, he was stunned for a moment and then revealed a helpless and regretful expression. He stared at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup in front of him and thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth!

"Today... is the day to send the old master off, but I... I can't send him away! The Old Master passed away at the age of 309. During the three hundred years that he lived, I followed him for more than two hundred years! I will never forget the kindness that the old master has shown me for the rest of my life. But I was chased out by the Young Master on such an important day!"

In fact, Housekeeper Hu's answer was completely irrelevant. He did not answer Faang Cheng's previous question, but Faang Cheng did not rush him or urge him to continue. Instead, he just quietly drank his tea and waited for Housekeeper Hu to continue.

"Young Master said... that there is no need to host the old master's funeral! He said that... the old master had always been a man with a clear heart and few desires when he was still alive. Thus, he did not have too many requirements for wealth, fame, or extravagance. Therefore, the funeral did not need to be so extravagant and wasteful. It could be done simply! However... Master Fang, do you think it is simple? He doesn't want to hold the master's funeral at all!"

At this point, Butler Hu couldn't help but raise his voice. After that, he realized that his voice had been a little too loud, so he immediately lowered his head. He nervously picked up the teacup on the table and drank a mouthful to hide his panic.

In fact, Faang Cheng could understand Butler Hu's reaction! This was a sign of inferiority. He was very close to Old Patriarch Hu, and they might even think that they were like brothers, or perhaps even father and son. However, this was only between him and Old Patriarch Hu! To outsiders, they were still just master and servant!

Therefore, no matter how much Butler Hu complained and how many opinions he had, he could not speak his thoughts and feelings from a relatively equal point of view with the Hu family, or even the Young Master Hu.

Without Old Master Hu, he was only a butler in the Hu family! No matter how long he worked, he was only a servant. His words were light, and in the Hu family... There was no place for him to speak.

"So ...Young Master is stingy and feels sorry for the Hu family's hard-earned money?"

Yu Yien asked an obvious answer. It seemed that... the Hu family's Young Master did not seem like a diligent and thrifty young master. His clothes were especially exquisite and luxurious.

"Bullsh * t! Would he feel sorry for the Hu family's money? It was simply laughable. If he could lose a few families, then he would be better than anything! The money he spent on those women in half a month could be used to host a decent funeral for his family! Now that the Hu family was in his hands, he felt that all of the Hu family's money was his. He felt reluctant to spend a single cent on the old master! "

Butler Hu shook his head helplessly. He didn't know what words to use to describe this Young Master!1

After pondering for a moment, Faang Cheng raised his head and looked at Butler Hu. The expression on his face was slightly serious, as if he had just thought of something serious!

"How is the old patriarch of the Hu Family normally? Why did he suddenly pass away this time?"

He asked softly.

"The old patriarch is usually in good health! Although he had indeed reached the age of his Spirit Power in recent years, he had never heard of any discomfort in the old patriarch. As far as I know, the old patriarch would only occasionally feel short of breath and lack of strength in his body. After resting for a few days, he would automatically recover. As for the rest... I truly don't know what else he feels uncomfortable about!"

Butler Hu shook his head to show that he really didn't know what other problems the old patriarch had with his body!

"Actually, the sudden death this time has a lot to do with the Young Master!"

Butler Hu suddenly changed his style, and his voice was filled with hatred.

"Oh? What kind of relationship?"

Faang Cheng immediately became alert, and could not help but sit up straighter. As he listened to Butler Hu's story, he began to recount what had happened to the Hu family a while before the death of Old Patriarch Hu.

"Actually, Young Master has always wanted to buy a house outside, saying that he would treat it as his own residence. He had already asked the old patriarch for money more than once, but the old patriarch refused. He simply did not want to bother with Young Master's unreasonable request! Because the old master clearly knew in his heart that he wanted to bring those adulterous women back to his own garden so that he could enjoy them well. There's no way that the old master would give him a single cent to raise those adulterers!"

Butler Hu said firmly!
