Chapter 80: Dirty Things in the Mansion

"Is it just Lao Wei? What about you? Are you there?"

"It's unfair, old man. How could I drink with them? Old man, I have been following you since I was ten years old. You know best what kind of person I am."

Wang Xiao had no time to continue his excuses because the servant he had just sent out brought back a young woman.

When the woman saw Wang Xiao in the yard, her face changed instantly.

"Fifth Master, it's her." The servant said affirmatively.

The woman was young and timid, and she confessed everything after just a few questions.

She was originally the daughter-in-law that Lao Wei bought two years ago. Later, Lao Wei used his connections to arrange for her to work in the Zhou family's backyard.

The woman was originally born into a poor family. She had never seen how rich people lived before, so she didn't care about them. But after coming to the Zhou family, her mentality has changed completely.

Lao Wei was old and rude, and he was very stingy with her and was reluctant to spend money. Over time, the woman began to feel unbalanced.

At this time, Wang Xiao appeared.

Although he was not tall, he was young and strong, and he knew how to coax people. After a few interactions, the two of them soon became friends.

But gradually, the woman found that Wang Xiao was not a good person. He was addicted to gambling. Not only did he not give her money to spend, he also often asked her for money.

Just half a month ago, Wang Xiao suddenly told her that their affair might have been discovered by Lao Wei.

The woman knew Lao Wei's temper and was so frightened that she begged Wang Xiao to take her away.

"He agreed at that time, but I didn't expect him to ask me to sleep with the old man before leaving, saying that I could get some money that way." At this point, the woman covered her face and sobbed.

Everyone was speechless for a while. What does this have to do with Old Man Chen’s sleeping and money?

The woman shook her head: "How would I know? That night he asked Lao Xu out for a drink, and in the middle of the night he brought that old man into my room, and I didn't dare to call for help."

"Was the person awake or asleep at that time?" Yuan Shanting asked in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over the trembling Wang Xiao.

The woman blew her nose and sneered, "That old man is shameless. I thought he was also deceived, but who knew he was so eager to take off my clothes as soon as we got in bed. If he was really drunk, would that thing still work? He must be pretending! The next morning, he was still reluctant to leave. Bah, what a fool!"

"Wang Xiao, did you deliberately let her get entangled with Lao Chentou so that San'er could replace him? Who instructed you to do this?" Yuan Shanting asked.

Wang Xiaoyan realized that he could no longer hide the truth, so he stood up suddenly, pushed the woman away and ran out.

Liang Jinyu was holding a teacup in her hand, and when she saw this, she threw the cup away without hesitation.

The teacup hit Wang Xiao's back of the head. Wang Xiao felt pain and slowed down his pace. At that moment, the servants rushed up and knocked him to the ground.

Wang Xiao couldn't get away and started crying and screaming again.

"Master, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that. I was really desperate. I owed money to the casino and they said they would chop off my hand if I didn't pay them back. I had no choice but to do that."

Yuan Shanting had Wang Xiao brought to him and continued to ask, "Who told you to do this?"

According to Wang Xiao, he was approached by people from the casino that day and wanted to escape from the city as he had nowhere else to go. Unexpectedly, he met a man in black halfway through his escape.

The other party said that as long as Wang Xiao helped him do one thing, he would pay off all of Wang Xiao’s gambling debts.

The temptation was too great for Wang Xiaolai, and he agreed without much thought.

The other party asked him to lure Old Man Chen away on the tenth day, and then arranged for San'er to rush to pick him up.

This matter was originally very simple, but Wang Xiao was greedy, and he quickly came up with a way to complete the instructions of the man in black and make Lao Wei no longer suspect that he was having an affair with his wife.

He deliberately invited the two of them to drink that day. He knew that Lao Wei could not drink much and would sleep like a dead pig if he drank too much and could not be woken up even if he was called.

So he got Lao Wei drunk first, and seeing that Old Man Chen was drunk, he couldn't wait to send him to the woman's room.

The next day, because old man Chen did not show up, the housekeeper had to arrange for another driver, San'er, to take his place.

Hearing this, Liang Jinyu suddenly remembered the scream she had just heard and couldn't help but ask, "What did you do when you went out just now?"

Wang Xiao timidly said, "No, I didn't do anything."

"How dare you hide it!" The butler kicked him.

Wang Xiao then confessed honestly: "I told Lao Wei that the one who committed adultery with his wife was Lao Chentou..."

"You bastard, you picked yourself clean, you want to kill me, I'm going to grab you to death!" The woman cursed and rushed forward to grab Wang Xiao's face.

Wang Xiao pushed her away: "You bastard, you really think I will take you away, crazy woman, get out of here."

The two men fought each other, and everyone watched coldly without stopping them.

Liang Jinyu wanted to go and see if Old Man Chen was the same as in his previous life, so she stood up and said goodbye.

"I have to thank you for what happened today, young lady. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known about this." Yuan Shanting shook his head and sighed.

Liang Jinyu asked curiously, "Why do I feel that Boss Yuan is not surprised? Did you already know that there was someone behind this?"

Yuan Shanting nodded: "Those people's target is not my wife, but me! They want to kill me, just like they wanted to kill Master Xie back then. They are the same group of people."

"Master Xie also encountered such a thing?" Liang Jinyu was surprised.

Yuan Shanting saw Liang Jinyu off: "That was two years ago. What happened was similar to ours, but unfortunately he was not as lucky as us. He was forced to jump off a cliff, and his legs became disabled afterwards."

Liang Jinyu only vaguely saw the figure through the screen that day and did not know that Xie Qingyu was disabled.

"By the way, I will be leaving for Weiyang in two months. If you have anything to ask, you can come to the Zhou family to see my wife."

"Weiyang?" Liang Jinyu suddenly became interested and asked curiously, "I heard that there are foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes in Weiyang, is it true?"

Yuan Shanting laughed and said, "Of course it's true. Weiyang is near the sea, and there are many foreigners who came from the sea. Some of them even opened a tavern in Weiyang."

Liang Jinyu was secretly amazed. She could never imagine a "monster" with blond hair and blue eyes soliciting customers in a tavern.

Seeing Liang Jinyu was full of curiosity, Yuan Shanting said casually: "If you are interested, you can go with me to have a look. This Weiyang election will definitely be very lively."

"Weiyang will choose?"

"Miss, you don't know what's normal. In fact, we are just merchants from all over the country gathered together. First, we want to take this opportunity to resolve the conflicts and disputes between the major business gangs in the past two years; second, we also want to re-elect a president. You also know that Master Xie has been like that. I am afraid that we may not be able to do it in the future; third, it is for-"

Before Yuan Shanting could finish his words, the servant caught up with him and said that something happened inside.

Liang Jinyu stopped at the door and said, "Just send it here. Thank you, Boss Yuan."
