The more unsightly the Old Madam Xu's expression was, the happier she was. She purposely spoke words that were not to be spoken, and only when the Old Madam Xu was close to the edge of exploding did Cheng Xi finally calm down, and obediently followed Xu Sanlang to the left wing to rest.

On the way back to the room, Cheng Xi followed behind Xu Sanlang, happily humming a melody. Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi had been together for a long time, so it was not strange that she would do this when she was happy.

Seeing that Cheng Xi was so happy, the corner of Xu Sanlang's lips unconsciously lifted up as she asked, "Are you that happy?"

Cheng Xi smiled and replied, "Of course I'm happy, the money that we worked hard to earn is already in their pocket, to be able to get them to take it out, how can I not be happy."

Without waiting for Xu Sanlang to answer, Cheng Xi continued to speak excitedly, "Didn't you insist that we come here to live? We might not waste time, how can we face their painstaking efforts?"

Xu Sanlang's footsteps paused as he walked in front with the oil lamp in hand, and he asked, "What, do you feel sorry for them? "You don't like it?"

Xu Sanlang immediately stretched out his hand to stop Cheng Xi, who was about to walk forward, and forcefully pulled backwards. The two of them took a step back together, and said, "Be careful in front."

Cheng Xi asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?" Her eyes also unconsciously looked forward, and when she saw the black object that was rolling on the ground in front of him, Cheng Xi was so scared that her whole body was tightly pressed against Xu Sanlang and his feet were also jumping non-stop on the ground. She was afraid that there was also something underneath his feet.

"Why are there so many little snakes?" Cheng Xi said with a terrified tone.

However, Xu Sanlang was able to clearly see what was in front of him. He patted Cheng Xi's hand that was holding her arm and replied, "Don't be afraid, it's not a snake. It's a mudfish."

When Cheng Xi heard Xu Sanlang's words, she was struck by the dim yellow light of the oil lamp in Xu Sanlang's hand. Her gaze also fell onto the pile of stuff on the ground in front of him that was slippery, and the corner of her eyes twitched slightly. This revenge is really childish. "

Xu Sanlang pulled Cheng Xi carefully over the pile of mudfish, and was prepared to return to the west wing, but Cheng Xi said, "Let's go find a basin and capture the mudfish, since someone has delivered it to us, we cannot waste it, it will be delicious if it is burned red."

After Xu Sanlang heard that Cheng Xi actually wanted to eat this, he was also stunned. Then, he nodded his head in agreement, and decided to let her cook, because he had seen Cheng Xi's culinary skills before.

The two of them went back to the side room first, preparing to find a basin and then come over to catch the loach. Unexpectedly, when the two of them had just reached the side room, they heard a terrified scream not too far away, and the scream seemed to belong to Cheng Fang.

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang did not have enough time to look for a basin. They quickly headed in the direction of the shrieks with an oil lamp in hand, but they were right in the direction of the loaches.

The two of them walked over, and saw Xu Wenyu and Cheng Fang standing in front of the Loach. Under the dim light, Xu Wenyu's face was extremely pale, and he was extremely afraid just now.

The more Cheng Xi looked at it, the more she found it funny.

Although it was funny, Cheng Xi tried her best to remain calm, to not let herself laugh out, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Xu Wenyu had indeed been scared just now. He had already stepped on it, and with Cheng Fang's sharp cry, the slippery loaches were rolling on the ground at night. They looked like little black snakes, and were indeed terrifying.

Because of the fright, he stopped his usual hypocritical face and spoke to Xu Sanlang gloomily, "Why is there a loach on the way here?"

Hearing Xu Wenyu's questioning tone, Cheng Xi secretly twitched her mouth, and replied: "Who knows, we just came back and got scared, and was planning to find a basin to grab all these things. Is there a loach in this house? Why are all of you here? "

Cheng Fang patted her chest still in shock, and said: "Why would my home raise this thing, I'm afraid some child caught it and brought it back as a prank."

Cheng Xi snorted, "This prank truly took some effort, it was specially placed on our way back to the room in the pitch black night, I'm afraid it was done especially for us! It's just that I didn't expect that Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt would coincidentally come over, so I got a shock. "

Xu Wenyu was also angry at the moment, and said gloomily, "This is truly outrageous, regardless of it being a prank, we have to investigate this matter thoroughly. Ah Fang, go call those naughty kids over here for me."

Cheng Fang nodded her head and gave the package in her hand to Xu Wenyu. She took the oil lamp from Xu Wenyu's hands and was about to leave, when Xu Wenyu spoke again, "Remember to call Xu Erlang over."

When Cheng Xi mentioned Xu Erlang, she felt that Xu Wenyu's suspicions were reasonable. Such a disgusting act was similar to what Xu Erlang and his son had done.

Cheng Fang nodded in agreement. Just as she was about to head towards the main courtyard, a group of people came over with oil lamps. Old Madam Xu was walking in front, and asked while walking quickly, "What happened? What's wrong? "What's going on?"

Cheng Fang looked and followed behind Old Madam Xu. A majority of the people had come with their Xu Family, but Xu Erlang and her son did not come, as she had her own plans. She turned to his men and asked, "Are we missing Second Sister-in-Law and Erlang Sheng not here yet?"

Xu Wenyu's face darkened, and said with a cold tone, "Of course."

At this time, Old Madam Xu also brought some people over, and asked, "What happened?" As a result, sshe accidentally caught sight of the loach on the ground in front of Xu Wenyu. Under the dim light, he was also scared stiff, but distanced herself from Xu Wenyu with a scream, patting her chest and asking, "How can there be a snake?"

Xu Wenyu replied with a gloomy face, "Those are loaches."

Then, he looked at the children that followed behind Old Madam Xu and asked gloomily, "Who dumped the mudfish here?"

A group of people decisively shook their heads. A four or five-year-old boy stood up and said carefully, "I saw that Second Brother went to the river today, and it looked like he was touching a loach. I even asked Second Brother about it, but Second Brother said no."

Old Madam Xu waved her hand and said, "Why are you all gathered around this person in the middle of the night? No more sleep? Hurry up and disperse. "

When the Old Madam Xu heard his own grandson's words, she knew. This matter was probably caused by Xu Erlang scaring Xu Sanlang and the Cheng Family girl, so she decided to take things lightly.

He finally felt that Cheng Xi, this girl, seemed to be showing some signs of loosening up. This Xu Erlang had even been hinting at this since then, and thirdly, he had just warned Xu Erlang and the Lady Lee today, and then made a small move on him behind his back. He did not take seriously, as Xu Wenyu had always thought that the prestige of his Xu Family was not something that could be violated.

As a result, when the Old Madam Xu spread the news, Xu Wenyu spoke up to stop them, "All of you wait, we need to clear this matter up first."

Old Madam Xu still felt that the Fourth Brother was making a big deal out of nothing, so she tried to advise them, "It's not a big deal, since everyone is fine, let's just forget about it."

Xu Wenyu snorted, "I think my words are useless at home, anyone can disobey me, and since mother thinks that there is no need to investigate this matter, I will not care about whatever that happens in the future."

Old Madam Xu saw that his own son was truly angry, and did not look like he was being watched by Xu Sanlang at all. She hurriedly said, "What are you saying, you are the most Elementary Scholar in our Xu Family, and the reason why you understand the most is that you do not care."

Xu Wenyu said, "Then don't meddle in this matter, otherwise, everyone will take my words as wind passing by."

Old Madam Xu did not dare to disobey, she only opened her mouth and said, "Alright, I will not interfere, I will listen to you." Although she wanted to protect her second grandson, between Fourth Brother and his second grandson, he still decisively chose Fourth Brother.

, the, also quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry Fourth Younger Brother, if this is really my second son's doing, I will definitely take care of him."

Xu Wenyu replied, "Second sister and second brother, this Second Brother should manage this well. I even chatted with them this afternoon, and it was only for a blink of an eye, I'm afraid they had already made this up."

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang stood at the side, without saying a word, they watched the lively scene leisurely.

Just as Xu Wenyu finished speaking, Lady Lee and Xu Erlang came over and shouted at him aggressively, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Are you even letting me sleep? "

Xu Erlang was not as stupid as the Lady Lee, upon seeing that it was the Fourth Aunt who came to call them, he knew that this matter had angered the Fourth Uncle, but he still followed quietly. Seeing that her mother was still shouting, he quickly reached out to pull his mother, reminding her not to cause trouble, "Mother, don't cause trouble."

Lady Lee snorted, not putting Xu Erlang's words to heart as he walked over in a complacent manner, and even shouted loudly, "Yo, you're all here? "What's the big deal?"

Then he pretended to glance sideways at the ground and continued, "What do I think is the big deal? "Isn't it just a few mudfish? Is there really a need to make our family unable to move peacefully?"

Everyone present could see that as long as they were not stupid, Lady Lee would definitely know about this matter. Because when other people who were not clear of the situation came over, it was impossible to tell that the loach on the ground was a loach due to the dark weather. Everyone thought that it was a loach that was scared out of their wits and only after looking carefully did they realize that it was a loach.

And the look in Lady Lee's eyes, was basically just pretending to look at the ground and say that it was a loach, that she did not know about it? How is this possible?

Xu Wenlong turned and walked towards Lady Lee with a gloomy face. Without waiting for Lady Lee to react, he slapped his own face ruthlessly.
