During the unhappy day, Fu Heng and Xu Mingwei had pretended to be safe in front of everyone and when it was time for dinner, they would eat together, though it was a little less than usual.
Wan Rong was a little suspicious in her heart, she had secretly glanced at his face a few times, but Xu Mingwei noticed it, and did not dare to size him up again. After dinner, Fu Heng went to the hall to find Duan Yunping to talk. After Xu Mingwei played with Duan Yunping for a while, she let Dahran's wife take her child to sleep.
In the end, Old Lai's family was quite old and had a bad bone. However, they had suffered greatly on the way, so with the approval of the main family, they rested for the rest of the afternoon. Now, only Wan Rong and Bi Tao were left in the house, so Xu Mingwei turned to Wan Rong and said, "Your father never planned to stay at home. When you see him tomorrow, give him twenty taels of silver and teach him to ask around outside these few days. If he can buy one, he can buy it. Although he did not know the market price here, it was definitely cheaper than the capital. Do you understand what I mean? "
Wan Rong brought the tea over and smiled, "I naturally understand grandma's meaning, it is that she wants us to listen to her outside, and that she will be of the same use as Qing Yang. It was just that people like her father were the main family of Aunt Lai. It would just be a waste to give away that money. It would be better to give the silver to Dong Zi and have him bring someone to the city to look around.
Xu Mingwei laughed, "Twenty silver is just a more respectable half a year's monthly allowance, what is it worth? There was no shortage of such expenses at home, so she had to save it all on her own. Since you came here because you needed your father, and because you had taught others to give up their homes, isn't it disheartening to be a scrooge here? You, are too much for me, yet your father gave you up for nothing. "
Hearing that, Bi Tao covered his mouth and laughed. Wan Rong shot her a glance and said, "Today, it's really weird. People who are like wooden stakes in the past are actually able to understand Grandmother's words."
Bi Tao refused to comply and pulled on Wan Rong's sleeve to plead for her allegiance, "Which is a wooden stake? Sister Wan Rong already knew that bullying a servant is an honest man."
Xu Mingwei could not help but shake her head, and laughed at Wan Rong, "Don't be so strange, I only asked you one question, and you already know which smile she is laughing at."
As she asked Peaches, she continued, "Are you laughing at Big Sister Wan Rong because of her surname?"
This time, it was Peaches' turn to ask, "How did Grandmother know that I was laughing about this?"
Wan Rong froze on the surface, and only after thinking for a long time did she make a detour. She had said that she had turned her father into a rogue man. Her surname should have been Lai, but in the end, hadn't she also become the Lai family's aunt's family? After saying so much, it actually ended up on her head. She really did raise a rock to smash her own foot, no wonder Peaches was laughing.
She paused for a moment, then turned to Xu Mingwei and said, "Grandmother, look, isn't this a living wooden stake? After she finished talking about what she had said earlier, she started laughing to herself. As if she were the second fool in the manor, she gave her mother a hard slap on the face when she entered the house and sat down to eat and drink. Then, she covered his face and shouted at his mother. "
Bi Tao was not stupid this time. He pounced on Wan Rong and scratched at his itch before saying angrily, "Big Sister Wan Rong is really down on her heart, scolding me again as you call me an idiot."
Wan Rong wanted to hide, but she hated how narrow the room was. However, after circling the table three times, she was caught by the peaches.
Seeing that the commotion was over, Xu Mingwei smiled and stopped her, "Okay okay, one of you is a fool and the other one is a fool, no one is laughing at each other. After all, they are all very grown up, and yet they still play around like children. If the little girls saw this, they would laugh. "
Only then did Bi Tao stop. Wan Rong smiled and wiped her tears. She finally got her life.
Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Xu Mingwei said, "Tomorrow, you two will shift shifts, so there's nothing much to do in this tavern. So I went forward to ask Tie Tou if he has anything to do, and if he is free, I can ask him to bring you two to the city to take a look, to see how the economy is, and if there's anything good to eat, he can also buy some."
Wan Rong immediately understood that it was only the Peaches who thought of going out to play, and a look of joy appeared on their faces. They were planning to buy whatever kind of food they would like to eat, but their hearts had already flown elsewhere.
Go to the kitchen and ask if there's any hot water. Then you can wash your face and wash it. In the afternoon, you will be tired.
Xu Mingwei yawned as she covered her mouth. Hearing her words, Wan Rong immediately pushed her to go get water, and washed herself clean before putting down the bed curtain. The two of them stood by the table, talking softly and occasionally looking back at the little stove that was coming in from the kitchen, so that they wouldn't lose their temper and lose the use of the water in it.
As he was guarding the door, there was a sudden movement at the door. She even said that Fu Heng had returned, so she got up and went to open the door. Wan Rong was also sleepy, her mind was still in a daze. When she came back to her senses, she wanted to ask who was knocking at the door, but the Jade Peach had already locked the door.
There was no oil lamp burning on the porch, so Wan Rong did not manage to catch a glimpse of the approaching person. However, under the dim light of two or three lamps in the room, Bi Mei saw a pair of tattered grass shoes first.
She cried out in her heart, and without waiting for a warning, she felt a sharp pain on her forehead. Suddenly, she saw a lantern rack held by that person in her hand. Did he hit himself with the handle on the shelf? The only thought that floated through his mind was this thought. Then, his vision turned dark and he lost consciousness.
When Wan Rong saw Bi Tao fall on the doorstep, she finally felt that something was wrong. Just as she was about to shout out loud, the person shouted sinisterly, "Don't scream, watch carefully, the blade in my hand doesn't have eyes!"
was afraid that he would really hurt the Jade Peach, and was wary of it for a moment. After looking at him in shock, she asked with a trembling voice: "Who are you, what do you want? If you ask for money, do not hurt anyone. This servant will open the chest and take away the gold and silver with the hero. "
The man casually threw the peach onto the ground and grabbed Wan Rong's mouth to tie her hands and feet. Only then did he feel at ease to turn around and close the door. Wan Rong saw that his body was tall and sturdy, but her movements were extremely light and nimble, with not a single sound from his feet, making him look somewhat like Wei Bao Ju Nan. She clearly was a common criminal in Jiang Yang, and she also had a strong foundation in martial arts. She shouldn't have thought too much about it just now, and should have shouted for help even with the help of Jade Peaches and his own life. As for the servants who were sleeping on her left and right, she only needed to wake up one or two of them to stop him.
Just as Wan Rong was feeling regretful in her heart, that person had already closed the door and was rubbing her hands over her body. Seeing her anger and shame, she smiled and said, "Don't think that I am taking advantage of you, but think of the box you are talking about, and look for a bunch of keys."
Wan Rong's mouth was covered by a piece of cloth, she was unable to curse at him, only looking at his waist, the man dishonestly wiped his hand on her chest, then untied the keys from her waist with a smile.
"Where is the box?" the man asked in a low voice.
Only then did Wan Rong remember that when they were packing up in the day, because of the small size of the rooms in the tavern, as well as the large number of people coming and going, and just in case there were any accidents, she had piled the boxes of silver notes and precious jewelry beside the bed. Now that she let him find the box, wouldn't that mean that she had to bring him into the inner room? She felt a chill run down her spine and didn't know what to do.
However, the thief lost his patience, and flashed the knife under his sleeve, saying in an evil tone, "Where are you hiding the silver? Why aren't you explaining yet? "If you continue to use your grandfather as a cover, don't blame me for using the red knife. A delicate and delicate woman like you won't be able to take it, right?"
Wan Rong's heart suddenly cleared. So this person didn't know that there was a third person in the room, and only treated him as her mistress. However, she thought that even if Xu Mingwei was in the house, there was no one from left and right to save him. He wanted to find a box to use the money. As their hearts were in a mess, the sound of something dropping suddenly came from inside the room during the quiet night. Wan Rong and the thief were both startled.
"There's someone else in your room?" The man asked suspiciously, his gaze landing on the cloth strip in Wan Rong's mouth as he laughed, "I forgot that your mouth is still shut, how could I ask? I will come see you again after I find the box myself. Your grandfather, Hou Zhanshan, has not tasted the taste of Madam Guan! I will also teach you how to enjoy yourself before you die. You will know that there are more than one level of weak and powerless men in this world. "
Wan Rong instantly felt a bolt of lightning strike his head. This pervert really had the intention to kill someone to steal their treasure, she did not care about her hands and feet being restricted anymore, she immediately rushed towards that person's head and crashed onto her body. Just her cultivation level alone was nothing in Hou Zhanshan's eyes. With a straightforward smile, she overturned Wan Rong.
"Don't be in such a hurry to throw yourself into her arms, little lady. Is that your adulterer hiding in there? However, he wasn't a housewife. No wonder he had his men drink in front of him. Hahaha … But now, you're letting me take advantage of you! "
He thought there was someone in the room, so he paid extra attention to what was in front of him. When he walked to the screen, he tripped over something and fell forward uncontrollably. Hou Zhanshan's heart thumped, just as he was thinking of borrowing the force, a gust of wind suddenly attacked from the back of his head. If he wanted to dodge again, there was no way to avoid it.
Hearing the sound of porcelain breaking, Xu Mingwei could only hear herself breathing heavily, going in, going out, it was like a clap of thunder.
