章 50: Chapter 48 The Truth Behind the Weak Old Master's Death

General Residence

The butler of the General Residence hastened back on horseback from the Ruo Family, disheveled as he leapt off the horse, just in time to encounter a group of people beating a black dog in pursuit.

The black dog, seeing the butler of the General Residence wielding a riding crop, thought he was about to be struck and rushed at him, biting his thigh.

The butler of the General Residence, in pain, flicked the riding crop, causing the black dog to yelp and dash away, barking "woof woof woof".

The butler was terrified—he could have gotten rabies from a mad dog bite!

He quickly rolled up his trouser leg to check and luckily, his long underwear were thick enough that his skin had not been broken.

Today truly was a day of utter misfortune, for on the way back from the Ruo Family, a large tree had suddenly fallen, narrowly missing him and his horse.

Fortunately, he was quick to react, pulling on the reins, so the horse turned its head and avoided the falling tree.
