Chapter 672: Warrior Widow

Tianxiang Tower is right on the main street, less than three minutes' walk from Qin Yao's house.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the restaurant waiters started to serve the dishes.

Everyone took their seats, the men sat outside and the women sat in the hall. They ate and drank, and praised the feast hosted by Qin Yao's family.

There were eight kinds of meat dishes, and the banquet was booked at Tianxianglou. It was obvious that it cost a lot of money.

This is just a housewarming party. The host does not accept any gifts and is generous enough to treat everyone to such a meal.

Together with the egg cakes and snacks served during the day, after this housewarming party, Qin Yao's family left a good impression in the minds of their neighbors as being generous, hospitable, easy to get along with, and wealthy.

During the meal, Old Mrs. Qiu looked outside several times, but after a long time she didn't see any sign of the Qi family. She talked to Aunt Yu, Old Madam Wang and others in a small voice, and everyone clicked their tongues and shook their heads.

What a great official power! Even Old Lady Wang brought her grandson to the banquet, but the Qi family didn't even send a steward to offer congratulations.

As the host, Qin Yao and Liu Ji greeted the guests inside and outside. Now that everyone was seated, the couple had a chance to meet each other.

Qin Yao also noticed the mutterings of Mrs. Qiu and others, and asked Liu Ji: "Didn't you send an invitation to the neighbors?"

Liu Ji was unwilling to take the blame for this, and hurriedly explained: "Yes, Awang personally delivered it yesterday afternoon."

Although he said the day before that he would not invite the Qi family, it was just what he said in anger.

Qin Yao frowned slightly, "They didn't send anyone? Not even a word of congratulations?"

Liu Ji nodded. He had been standing at the door for a whole day and knew clearly who had come and who had not. "Everyone in the whole market, except the Qi family, more or less sent people to congratulate them."

"Madam, what's going on with the Qi family? We haven't offended them, have we?" Liu Ji, who was always self-confronted, couldn't figure it out.

Even if there is a huge hatred between neighbors, we see each other every day. There is no need to make things so awkward, right?

"Forget it, come if you want. Just stay away from the Qi family when you see them in the future." Qin Yao waved her hand, signaling Liu Ji to skip this topic. She was starving and she didn't even have time to taste a single bite of the delicious food on the table.

Liu Ji chuckled and immediately put the Qi family's affairs behind him. He picked up a piece of drunken shrimp that he thought was particularly delicious and put it into Qin Yao's bowl, "My wife, have this. This is delicious."

As he spoke, he continued to look for dishes that Qin Yao might like, and put them all into Qin Yao's bowl until the bowl became a small mountain, and then he stopped.

Anyway, the people sitting at their table were either Mr. and Mrs. Ding or Liu Fei and the managers from the Fulong Trading Company. They all knew each other well and were not afraid of losing face.

Xiao secretly glanced at Liu Ji with a curious look, then turned to face Master Ding and reminded him unhappily: "Look at him."

Master Ding looked up blankly: "Ah?"

"By the way, where are Xiang'er and Shi'er?" Mr. Ding asked in confusion when he didn't see his daughter and son.

Xiao had herself made a fool of herself. She pinched the soft flesh on Mr. Ding's waist with her hand under the table and raised her chin towards the children's table: "Isn't he sitting over there with the kids?"

Mr. Ding almost couldn't help shouting out, but when he saw his wife's grinning expression, he held back.

He muttered, "You're already engaged, why are you sitting at the same table with a child?"

While secretly gasping for air, his desire to survive erupted, and he hurriedly picked up some food for his wife and coaxed her.

This scene happened to fall into Liu Ji's sight, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Hahahaha, finally he is not the only one who is afraid of his wife!

"Oh, my lady." Liu Ji poked Qin Yao's arm with the tail of his chopsticks. "I just heard you guys talking about Lord Wang Jin in the inner hall. Are you talking about the Wang Jin we know?"

Qin Yao glanced at him and said, "You have very sharp ears. You can hear from such a distance."

Liu Ji said complacently: "That's a good idea, so you can come whenever you want."

"Don't be so mean!" Qin Yao was so disgusted by him that she shook her arms. Then she nodded and said, "You heard it right. The son of Old Lady Wang is the Wang Jin we know."

Liu Ji was startled, and subconsciously raised his hand to point at Wang Chengyang, who was sandwiched between Dalang and Erlang at the table with children, "Is his son that big already?"

Qin Yao shook her head: "He is his nephew, not his son, but his eldest brother's child. Wang Jin's several marriages were cancelled because of this child, because the child is registered under Wang Jin's name. If she marries him, she will have to be an aunt to a child that old."

No, since the child is registered under Wang Jin's name, she is the mother.

"What's the matter? Are the boy's parents gone?" Liu Ji's gossiping soul was burning.

As long as one of the parents is still alive, the child will not follow the uncle.

Qin Yao: "My father died in battle, and my mother committed suicide by jumping into a well after giving birth to the child."

Liu Ji was even more surprised, "A posthumous child?"

Qin Yao reminded him to keep his voice down and whispered, "The old man of the Wang family and the eldest son of the Wang family both died in the battle, at dawn before daybreak."

Liu Ji didn't expect that the old lady of the Wang family and her granddaughter were both widows of soldiers. He admired from the bottom of his heart those who dared to fight on the battlefield.

but!

Except Wang Jin!

Although Wang Jin helped Qin Yao make a lot of money later, Liu Ji still held a grudge.

He had not forgotten at all that he had left them to the thirty assassins that day.

What a coincidence! Enemies often meet on a narrow road!

Qin Yao saw through his little tricks and warned him, "Don't do anything to me. Life is not easy for an orphan and a widow."

Liu Ji snorted, he didn't bully the orphans and widows.

Besides, he is not that kind of person.

Every wrong has its perpetrator and he only looks for Wang Jin!

It was getting dark and the guests gradually dispersed.

Old Madam Wang was held back by Old Lady Qiu and a few others to chat and was not allowed to leave. They said they wanted to find a diligent girl for Wang Jin.

This really pleased Old Lady Wang, who was waiting for their introduction with a smile on her face.

As we chatted, we became the last wave of guests to leave.

Yin Le took a large piece of egg cake wrapped in oil paper and handed it to Wang Chengyang, "Young Master, take it home and eat it."

She had just heard about the child's background, which was very pitiful.

In fact, she can live the life she has now thanks to Lord Wang Jin.

If Lord Wang Jin had not gone to Kaiyang County to investigate the case and asked County Magistrate Song to execute Concubine Pan, the brothel owner who persecuted innocent women, on the spot, she would not have reunited with her master and would not have had the good life she has today.

Wang Chengyang looked at Yin Le strangely, who was showing kindness to him, and did not immediately take the cake she handed to him.

Yin Le looked at the child's alert expression and smiled gently, "My name is Yin Le, Madam Qin is my master, and your uncle has been kind to me. This is a small token of my gratitude. If you need any hard work at home in the future, just come to me and don't tire your grandmother."

"I can chop wood and carry water!"

Yin Le raised his arms proudly and squeezed his biceps.

Wang Chengyang then took the oil paper bag she handed over and bowed politely, "Thank you."

"Why are you wearing a mask?" Children are always curious.
