“The seven stars are mutually restricted and interconnected.
“Each person is a fragment of earth that fell from one of the stars, and is therefore only affected by the other six stars…
"Perhaps this is the reason why the maximum number of zodiac signs is only six.
“Of course, this is just a guess by Lisa, and the real reason remains to be verified by time.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. I'm going to meet with the diplomats from the Solstice Kingdom. I'll discuss it in depth with you the next time we meet."
Si Bailu nodded: "Okay, you go ahead and get busy. Oh, by the way, don't forget your appointment in the afternoon!"
"I know." Qin pursed her lips and smiled, taking Kaia away from here.
Before leaving, Kaiya secretly gave Si Bailu a thumbs up, as if to say, he can even date Captain Qin, so he is truly worthy of being the son-in-law of the Lawrence family!
Si Bailu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then returned to the Lawrence family alone.
News of Aix's death must have reached Schubert.
After this hidden danger was eliminated, Si Bailu believed that the other party's next target should be his future son-in-law.
Although on the surface the other party has agreed to his marriage to Youla, he has also met Youla's parents.
But in fact, before he really gets through and shows his loyalty to Schubert, the other party will definitely be wary of him.
What Si Bailu has to do now is to further gain the other party's trust.
At the same time, he will also start to use his current power to sort out some bad people and things in the family.
"Sir, you are back!"
Yi Rong, who was lying on the ground wiping stone tiles, shouted sweetly when she saw a familiar figure.
Si Bailu carefully avoided the floors Yi Rong wiped, came to her, smiled and patted her little head:
"Thank you for your hard work. By the way, where's the head maid? Ask her to come to my room when she's not busy."
"Okay~" Yi Rong watched the young man leave, unable to hide the joy on her face.
The other maids all looked at Yi Rong with envy, feeling somewhat regretful in their hearts.
If they could muster the courage to plead for Yi Rong last time when Yi Rong was being scolded by the head maid, they might be able to win the favor of the future uncle.
Although the little girl was careful enough, someone still saw the bags of mola she hid in the cabinet. Those were undoubtedly the gifts given to her by her uncle.
If they could also receive so many rewards, their smiles would definitely be brighter than Yi Rong's now!
Moreover, the uncle just called the head maid by name, probably looking for an opportunity to deal with her.
No matter what, their lives should get better and better in the future!
Si Bailu could naturally see what the maids were thinking.
The reason why he was nice to Yi Rong was not only because she helped him a lot, but also because he wanted to establish a good and reliable image in the hearts of these low-level servants.
In this way, his foundation in this family will gradually become stronger, and when one day he completely takes control of the Lawrence family, it will not be shaken due to internal problems.
After returning to the room that Schubert had arranged for him, Si Bailu heard a heavy knock on the door not long after waiting.
Si Bailu opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a black and white maid skirt standing at the door.
The woman has oily red curly hair, and the nasolabial folds on her face are as deep as if a piece of paper could be stuffed into her face.
Even in a naturally relaxed state, the entire face exudes a vicious and sinister aura, which is somewhat similar to Grandma Rong in the TV series.
"Uncle, are you looking for me?"
Luo Su spoke, his voice still filled with the same arrogance as before, and there was no condescension because of Si Bailu's current status.
Obviously Ax's death did not affect the other party's behavior. In other words, there was someone else behind the other party.
Si Bailu nodded: "I have something to discuss with you. Come in and sit down."
With that said, Si Bailu pulled out the chair near the door from under the table and sat on the opposite side of the table.
However, Luo Su just glanced at the seat, but did not sit down. Instead, he said impatiently:
"If you have any questions, please tell me quickly. I will prepare snacks for Mr. Schubert later."
Hearing this, Si Bailu's usually gentle face instantly turned cold:
"What do you mean? You didn't even sit down when I asked you to sit down. Do you think that my son-in-law, who is visiting me, is not worthy of sitting with you?"
Si Bailu's breakthrough and outburst surprised the arrogant head maid, but then she sneered and said:
"You haven't married Miss Youla yet. At most, you just met your parents and settled the relationship. I don't know when you will break up?
“Isn’t it too early to regard yourself as an adult of the Lawrence family?
"And please clarify your identity, you are the son-in-law, you are the one who barged in!
"Don't you feel ashamed to be a man? Instead of being ashamed, you are proud!
"Do you really think your status is worthy of our great Lawrence family?
"To put it bluntly, if Mr. Schubert hadn't given you some bad treatment, you wouldn't really think that I would take you, a lowly Liyue person, seriously, would you?"
Listening to the merciless insult from the head maid, Si Bailu's expression was unexpectedly calm.
Si Bailu nodded in agreement:
"You are right, being a son-in-law is indeed quite embarrassing for an ordinary man.
"But that's for others. For me, being able to marry Yola is my real goal. As for the power of the Lawrence family, it's just a by-product.
"You don't really think that I became this son-in-law because of the Lawrence family's fortune, do you?
“Then you take your Lawrence family too seriously!
"You're just a down-and-out noble. If it weren't for Mr. Schubert's strategic planning and good management, you would be like a street rat in Mondstadt, and everyone would beat you up."
Hearing Si Bailu's previous words, Luo Su's eyes were filled with anger, and he was even ready to use the elemental combat skill of a shrew.
However, when she heard the words "Mr. Schubert is strategizing", she unconsciously lost her temper.
Although this young man sounded arrogant, he still had some insight.
Although he scolded the Lawrence family, he did not scold Mr. Schubert. From this point of view, the other party's respect for that man was no longer fake.
Chapter 63
"Okay, now that we have confessed our dissatisfaction with each other, there is no need to be pretentious. Tell me what you want from me."
Luo Su looked at Si Bailu and asked with his hands folded across his chest.
Si Bailu nodded and stopped being polite to the other party:
"If my guess is correct, it was Mr. Schubert who instigated you behind the scenes to withhold the wages of the maids, right?"
Luo Su's expression changed slightly, but then he nodded: "So what?"
Si Bailu chuckled and shook his head: "Not very good. I think Mr. Schubert's method is quite good.
"There should be no less than a hundred maids in the manor. Each of them deducts five hundred per month, which can save at least fifty thousand molas a month! This is not a small amount of money.
“But based on what I know about Mr. Schubert, a wise man like him shouldn’t deduct half of his salary.
"If I were Mr. Schubert...[-]%! I would only deduct [-]% of my salary at most.
"As for whose pocket the remaining [-]% went into, I don't need to say more, right?"
Looking at the shameless smile on the young man's face, Luo Su's face gradually turned ugly, and the arrogance and domineeringness just now were nowhere to be seen.
"So you're going to tell Mr. Schubert about me, are you?"
Looking at Luo Su's gloomy face, Si Bailu smiled and shook his index finger:
“Why would I do something like this that would hurt both sides?
"Aix has just died, and now I have brought you down again, which is not a good thing for Mr. Schubert.
"So let's each take a step back. I won't report you, and you will increase the wages of the maids to [-]%.
"Although I make less money, I think when the maids are happy, they will work harder and have a good impression of you. It's not a bad thing for you. Don't you think so?"
After listening to Si Bailu's suggestion, Luo Su felt very sad, but he couldn't refuse it now.
But in this way, not only would he have to make concessions, but he would also still have the power to fall into the hands of the other party... This young man is quite deep in the city!
But just when Luosu was thinking about how to speak ill of Si Bailu in front of Schubert.
Si Bailu raised his hand and scratched his head, then broke it off with force, and a golden dragon horn suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.
"hiss--"
It hurt a little, almost like pulling a hair.
"But is this the so-called 'dragon horn'? It does not look simple..."
Looking at the twenty centimeter long, slit-tipped, flexible golden luminous object in his hand, Si Bailu stroked it for a while and then placed it on the table:
"This is a five-star rare medicinal material - dragon horn, which can nourish the skin and prolong life.
“Eating it will make you feel ten years younger.
"Of course, if you are seriously ill or injured, this thing can also make you recover in an instant!"
After listening to Si Bailu's introduction, Luo Su's face showed surprise and confusion.
She didn't believe that this thing had such a heaven-defying effect, and she didn't understand why the other party suddenly took out such a valuable thing.
Want to bribe her?
snort!That's too much to underestimate her. She has been serving Mr. Schubert for more than ten years. How could she give in to this little temptation?
"Can this thing...can restore my youth and make me look radiant?" Luo Su asked expectantly while rubbing his sagging face.
"of course can."
Si Bailu said affirmatively, then took out a small knife and made a three-centimeter long cut on his wrist. Before blood spurted out, he immediately picked up the dragon horn on the table and pressed it against the wound.
Then, Luo Su saw that the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the blood that had flowed out was flowing back... The original obvious wound did not leave even a trace!
And this is only the effect of external use...
Luo Su believed the authenticity of this item, but she still looked at Si Bailu warily and asked in a calm voice:
