Chapter 808: After all the fuss, you finally got to the top!

Liu Goudan originally came in secretly from the back door, intending to eavesdrop while no one was paying attention and then quickly go back.

I never thought that I would be so unlucky to be caught red-handed by Li Zhuang.

He walked out with an embarrassed look on his face, and said with a dark face: "I've told you so many times, don't call me that outside."

Liu Goudan said, looking at Yan Changkun and clearing his throat, "Shopkeeper Yan, I am Princess Shihan's adopted son, Liu Yaozu."

Li Zhuang asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Didn't you say last time that your name was Liu Guangzong?"

Everyone almost laughed out loud when they heard his name.

To bring honor to the family, even though he is not good-looking, he has great ambitions.

This is the name. Yan Changkun knew without asking that it definitely wasn’t given by Zhuang Shihan.

He had heard from his elder sister that Zhuang Shihan treated her so-called adopted son very badly, and that she had almost kicked him to death when they first arrived in Beijing.

If Xier had not been kind-hearted and gone to the post station to treat him, this kid named Guangzong or Yaozu would have been reunited with his ancestors in the underworld long ago.

Liu Goudan's eyes were filled with annoyance, and he said in a low voice, "Why are you talking so much? Just listen to what I say."

Li Zhuangxin said "Oh" reluctantly, stood aside holding his bag, staring at Ziheng with eyes full of hatred.

The more Yan Zhangkun watched, the more he felt disgusted. Then he heard someone cursing, "How dare you, wolf cub, stare at me with your donkey eyes? Gouge his eyes out and see if he's really afraid!"

Li Zhuang angrily retorted: "I'll knock your donkey's eyes out."

He was about to say something else, but Liu Goudan pulled him hard and warned him in a low voice, "Watch your mouth. If you offend someone you shouldn't, no one can help you."

Ziheng raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Liu Goudan's face.

Although he and Li Zhuang both came from the border town, his thin face was full of calculation, his back was straight, and his whole body was like a taut bow.

It can be seen that he has been trying his best to adapt himself to the identity of the son of Shihan County.

Even his words and actions were deliberately imitating the "powerful and wealthy" he had seen.

It’s a pity that with his status, the number of powerful people he can meet can be counted on one hand.

The person he saw most often was Zhuang Fu, the old butler of the Duke's Mansion.

Although he is old, because of his military background, he always holds his back straight and his aura makes people dare not underestimate him.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw the bones of a tiger even if it is its skin. No matter how hard Liu Goudan tried to imitate him, he could not learn even one tenth of his expression.

That funny look could only scare the ignorant Li Zhuang.

Ziheng didn't even say a word, but a look from him made Liu Goudan show his fear.

He coughed lightly and asked weakly, "What on earth did Li Zhuang do to make you kick him out in the middle of the night?"

Yan Changkun's brows knitted together as he listened. "Kid, you can eat whatever you want but you can't talk nonsense. How can this be called a banishment?"

Someone watching the excitement said, "That's right, why is this kid talking so harshly? Who has ever seen someone chasing someone away and then rushing to stuff silver into their arms?"

Then, those compliments came out as if they were free, and I wanted to fill them up with baskets.

Listening to those compliments, Yan Changkun felt his nose itching badly.

It’s nothing else, I just feel so embarrassed.

After all, he had never thought of actually giving the five hundred taels of silver to Li Zhuang.

Yes, their Yan family is the richest family in Da'an. In the words of the common people, they are extremely rich.

But their family's money didn't come from the wind. It was earned through the hard work and wisdom of two generations of the Yan family. Why should it be given to outsiders for free?

Not to mention five hundred taels, I can't even give you five taels of silver. I don't know how many white steamed buns you can get from it on the street.

Not to mention giving it to a beggar, even if you throw it to a street dog, the dog will still wag its tail at you.

Unlike this ungrateful person, he doesn't appreciate their kindness at all and might even turn around and bite them at any moment.

Just like Xiaozhi said, it’s better to raise a dog than to raise him.

The more Yan Changkun thought about it, the angrier he became, but in order to maintain his image, he had to suppress the urge to curse.

He smiled kindly at Liu Goudan and asked, "Is this Young Master Liu here to take Li Zhuang to the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion?"

Hearing the three words "Duke's Mansion", Li Zhuang suddenly became excited.

The longing in those eyes makes it impossible to pretend not to see it.

The onlookers looked at each other and sighed.

"I said he's a kid with no relatives, how could he be so confident? After all this fuss, he's finally climbed up the social ladder!"

"Look at this idiotic adopted son, he's so cocky, if you don't know him you'd think Princess Shihan is his real mother."

"You're just talking nonsense. Princess Shihan is only so young, how could she give birth to such a big son?

Even if he could call her "godmother," I don't know if the princess would be embarrassed to respond."

Hearing the roar of laughter, Liu Goudan blushed and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have my godmother pull out your tongues!"

As soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Because Zhuang Shihan had warned him before that if he wanted to stay peacefully in the Duke Jingguo's Mansion, he must never act under her name outside.

If it's a good thing, it's fine, but if it affects her reputation, she will break his legs.

When Liu Goudan thought of Zhuang Shihan's face when she was angry, he couldn't help but shiver.

Li Zhuang noticed something was wrong and asked him incoherently, "Are you cold?"

Frightened by his face, so swollen it was almost impossible to discern his features, Liu Goudan cursed, "You've been beaten up like this and kicked out, and that's all you've got!"

"I..." Li Zhuang opened his mouth to refute, revealing a huge gap between his teeth.

Liu Goudan's eyes widened and he blurted out, "They also pulled out your teeth?"

This time, Yan Changkun didn't need to speak, the people watching the fun started to accuse him.

"What's wrong with this child? Not to mention Princess Shihan's adopted son, even his biological son wouldn't talk like that."

"You haven't figured it out yet, this bullshit adopted son thing is just throwing dirty water on people's heads."

"Aren't these two children from the same hometown?"

"It's fine if the princess herself is cunning, but why is it that even after adopting a son, she still behaves like this?"

Hearing that they were actually talking about Zhuang Shihan, Liu Goudan felt his right eyelid twitching non-stop, and hurriedly said, "All of you shut up, what's your business?"

The godmother never liked him and did not acknowledge him as her godson.

If she heard this, she would beat him to death!

Liu Goudan's eyes rolled and he suddenly came up with an idea.

The person that my godmother hates most in the capital is Song Yanxi.

If he could throw dirty water on her, even if it only made her a little unhappy, it would definitely make her happy.

By that time, everything else will be nothing!

Thinking of this, Liu Goudan suddenly became happy, cleared his throat and said, "It was Princess Yong'an who promised Li Zhuang's mother that she would take good care of Li Zhuang.

It hasn't even been three months yet, and you're already rushing to kick him out. Aren't you afraid that Li Zhuang's mother won't be able to close her eyes in the underworld?"
