The passersby stopped in their tracks, feeling curious in their hearts. The servants in the residence usually looked down on people from the rich and powerful Wu family. Why was the gatekeeper acting differently today? He was actually so respectful to this young man in front of him. Logically speaking, there were only a few families in the city that could compete with the Wu family. How strange.
If the little servant knew what the passersby were thinking, he would probably have a wry smile. This was something he could control: Even the King of Hell came looking for me, if I still dared to put on a show, I'm really tired of living.
"You, come here. "Lead the way, I want to see Aunt Wu." Li Jin pointed at the little servant.
The little servant looked around. Who was the lucky one that the King of Hell had chosen? A gust of autumn wind blew across his face, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
The young servant's face immediately paled, there was no one around, he barely raised his hand and pointed at his nose, "Young Master, you can't be calling me that, right?"
Old Cow was so impatient that she immediately kicked him over. "Young Master called you, didn't you hear? You're so silly!" This was the first time the old cow realized how comfortable it was to kick someone's butt. No wonder the young master loved to kick himself, just as he was about to do so.
The little servant who was in pain couldn't take it anymore. He saw that the big man wanted to give him another kick after kicking him. The old cow was disgusted by the fawning manner of the horse as it ran to Li Jin's side, trying to curry favor with him.
Then, the spies from the Wu Residence reported everything that had happened to the Old Master of the Wu Residence. After hearing that, the Old Master of the Wu Residence didn't have any expression on his face.
A man who thought he was very smart quickly said, "Patriarch, why don't we send someone to chase them out? Our Wu family is not as good as the Liu family."
The Old Master of the Wu clan was about to grin when he suddenly heard an ear-piercing voice. Looking around, he realized that the person standing before him was actually a smart junior.
Thus, the Old Master of the Wu family slapped that clansman's face, "Our Wu family's strength is not comparable to the Liu family's, then the City Lord's Mansion's wrist is not something we can move. And are your eyes on the long forehead? Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that the relationship between the young city lord and the child was not like family. Right now, the Wu Clan does not need to hurry up and hug the City Lord's Mansion's legs, but what's more, just because that hedonistic son of the Qin Clan is getting closer to the Young City Lord, he has already become the second in charge of the Wind Washing City. "
"Our Wu Clan is not going to fight for the first or second position. It shouldn't be a problem for us to force ourselves to sit as the third in charge of the Whirlwind City, right?" Old Wu said with a smile.
"Then Patriarch, what should we do?" The man rubbed his face as he said this, feeling wronged. Who would have thought that he would actually flatter her?
"I don't care, but our Wu family must take good care of the children." At that time, the City Governor's Estate will naturally accept our Wu Clan's favor. "
"Also, tell those long-tongued women in your room to stop their mouths. Tong'er is this old man's daughter after all, and isn't someone that they can talk as much as they want. "You guys have all seen the Liu family's ending. If you anger Tong'er, I can let you off, but for the City Lord's Mansion, you guys can take care of it yourselves." The Old Master of the Wu family stroked his beard slowly as he spoke solemnly.
The surrounding crowd hurriedly nodded their heads in agreement.
After Li Jun had killed her way into the Wu Mansion, she did not stop them at all. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said to Old Cow, "In the future, our City Lord's Mansion can take care of the Wu Clan. After all, this is Aunt Wu's home."
"Yes, young master." "It seems like the Wu Clan is quite sensible these days." The old cow said with a smile on his face.
The footman was shivering on the road, and whether I heard him or pretended not to hear him.
In the distance, he saw a simple yet elegant courtyard. The little servant obediently said, "Young Master, Eldest Miss is staying there. Do you need this little one to bring you there?"
Li Jun's gaze followed the direction of the little servant's finger. Although it wasn't grand and luxurious, but the jade of a small family had a unique flavor to it. The Wu Residence was not stingy after all.
Li Jin walked on with his life on the line, followed closely by Old Ox, "Waiter, you have a bright future ahead of you. "Many thanks, this is the silver that young master gave you." The old cow took out a few taels of silver from his robes and threw them into the hands of the young servant.
The little servant was shocked and did not react. At this moment, he was extremely confused, and the gap in his mentality was extremely huge. Didn't the people outside all say that the young city lord was a demon king who ate people without spitting out their bones? How come here, he was even able to get a reward? It was truly strange.
Old Ox saw the servant standing there foolishly, so he thought that the silver was too little. He curled his lips and joked, "Why aren't you leaving? If you don't leave now, I'm going to take back this silver."
The old cow was about to extend his hand, but the servant quickly recovered and said, "Young one, let's go." Thus, he kept the silver in his pocket.
The old cow shook his head and couldn't help but smile. Seeing that the young master had already left, he quickly strode forward to catch up.
At this moment, Li Jun had already arrived at the front of the courtyard. She looked at a middle-aged woman sitting in the courtyard. It was unknown what she was embroidering, but she was surrounded by a middle-aged man who was laughing and playing around.
Li Jin looked at it for a long time, but he didn't disturb it. Actually, he was still a little afraid of meeting Aunt Wu. Although it was forced by the circumstances and the Liu family had to be uprooted, it was still Aunt Wu's home.
Li Jun looked at it for a while before turning to leave. However, she heard a voice coming from the courtyard, "Mo'er, since you're here, why didn't you come in? Are you blaming Aunt Wu?"
Li Jun smiled bitterly. It turned out that Aunt Wu had already noticed him. He pushed open the yard and said, "How could I dare? Aunt Wu, don't blame me."
Lady Wu held the embroidery in her hand and kept flipping it over and over, muttering to herself, "Originally, Aunt Wu had some resentment towards you in her heart." I am just a woman, although I don't know anything, but you can be considered as a brat that I watched grow up. I still understand your character. "
"Normally, if someone else didn't provoke you, you wouldn't do anything too extreme."
"Aunt Wu, if you think about it this way, I won't blame you anymore. It must be the Liu family offending your bottom line." "Life is actually quite good. Although my husband is a little foolish, he can still wholeheartedly accompany me. Your Aunt Wu, I am already very satisfied."
"Besides, I already have a son of the Liu family in my womb. I can't stop myself from tormenting him."
The middle-aged man held a small rabbit made from bamboo leaves and said to Lady Wu in a fawning manner, "Tong, look. Do you see it?"
Lady Wu withdrew her hand and looked at the middle-aged man with a face full of love. "Good, good. You did a great job."
"Aunt Wu, if you can forgive me, I am already very satisfied." Rest assured, as long as I am here, no one will dare to disturb your lives. " Li Jin said with a smile.
Li Xin had truly killed himself because he was afraid that the woman in front of him would hate him and distance herself from him.
After all, he had long treated Aunt Wu as his own relative.
"Alright, with your stinking words, I'll be satisfied. I still have your favorite hawthorn cake in my room. I'll get it for you. " Lady Wu walked into the room with her hands on her waist.
Li Jin took the teapot on the table and poured it into a small round blue and white porcelain cup in front of him, and said to himself, "The Liu family's secret guard, not bad. I know where they are, but I've been a little tired lately. I still hope that Uncle Liu will think twice before acting. I don't want the unborn child in Aunt Wu to lose its father. "
A light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, but it only lasted for an instant. He held the bamboo leaf ball in his hand, fawning on Li Jin to kill him.
"You play, it's fun." The middle-aged man muttered.
"Uncle, this is something you've folded, but it's not as good as mine. Ten years ago, Uncle Wu taught me. I am a master of the art now. " Li Jun was happy to play dumb. She took the ball and teased.
Lady Wu came out of her room with a plate. Looking at the two, she smiled. "Stop playing. Hurry up and eat. It's been cooking for a long time."
"Alright." Li took the plate, picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and put it in his mouth.
"Aunt Wu's cooking skills are much better than the chefs in the Mayor's mansion." Li Jun didn't hesitate to praise.
In the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang San accidentally sneezed.
Which brat is scheming against me again? Zhang San rubbed his nose.
The middle-aged man did not back down. He took the hawthorn cake and swallowed it whole without even swallowing it. He ate several pieces in a row.
Li Jin still ate slowly. To Li Jin, this provocation was neither painful nor itchy. It was just a drizzle.
As expected, Li Jun did not expect it. Not long after, Lady Wu poured a few cups of tea for the Liu family elder and patted his back.
Finally, the Liu family's elder swallowed the pastry in his throat. Looking at Lady Wu as if she was fawning on her, Lady Wu had a caring expression as she softly said, "I think I'll have to eat more slowly in the future."
The middle-aged man thought he was praised by the Wu clan, and he was so happy that he started to dance. At the same time, he turned his head and stared at Li Yuan to show off.
Li Jun slowly stuffed the last piece of hawthorn cake into her mouth and carefully chewed it. She then poured another cup of tea into the teapot and gulped it down, feeling warm all over.
After about an hour, Li Jin left the courtyard and kneeled on the ground. He kowtowed three times respectfully, ignoring the old cow's obstruction.
"Aunt Wu, thank you for taking care of me all these years. I will always remember your kindness."
Standing up from the ground, he turned around and left the Wu Residence. The old cow who had been guarding the yard immediately followed and left.
Lady Wu stood in the middle of the courtyard, her eyes a little moist as she muttered to herself, "Stinking brat, Aunt Wu really doesn't blame you."
"..."
After leaving the Wu Residence, Old Cow said cautiously, "Young Master, your eyes are a little red. Do you need to see a doctor?"
"Scram." Li Jun scolded with a smile.
"Yes, young master."
"Let's go to the tea house." Li Jin said in a bad mood.
"Did you go to the tea house to listen to the books? "Me likes it." The old cow smiled wistfully.
"To thank the old storyteller for helping us. If it wasn't for him, our brothers who joined the army would have lost quite a bit. " Li Jun helplessly explained.
"Yes, yes. If young master hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I'm too stupid." The young master had smacked him on the forehead just now when he was not paying attention.
"You brought some silver, right?"
"Yes, I did. I haven't handed the silver over to my wife."
"I feel sorry for my sister-in-law."
"Young master must be joking."
Arriving at the tea house, an old man, Weng Xing Mu, slapped the table. Li Jin looked at the old man on the stage and saw him shaking his head, gesturing and pointing, laughing and cursing, and showing an exaggerated expression. Sometimes he played the part of a man, sometimes he played the part of a woman.
His mouth was like a spring, or a bird's cry, or a beast's cry, and a hundred beasts were terrified; it was like the sound of the wind, like the water, yet also like all living things in the world.
The hall was silent. Moments later, endless applause rang out. It was one of the few ingenious tricks in the world.
