Chapter 15: The food is not bad, the reason for demotion



So, in a short while, Wang Lue brought Cai'er out.

Cai Er saw her young lady and lowered her head. She hadn't done her job well and was arrested.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I messed up."

"It's okay, Cai'er. They didn't bully you, did they?"

"Not really," Cai'er looked up with shining eyes, "The food here is pretty good. It saved me two meals."

"..." Yuchi Ziling was speechless. Is this maid's only focus on eating?

Hearing Cai'er talking about food, Jiang Hai and others beside her couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I'm glad you're okay. Let's go."

Yuchi Ziling quickly took Cai'er and left.

On the way, Cai Er learned that the so-called Sea King was the young lady's fiancé Jiang Hai. She asked her young lady in a low voice,

"Miss, isn't he disabled? Doesn't he stutter? Are you really determined to marry him?"

Cai'er thought that these words were spoken very quietly, but in fact, even Wenzhi who was driving the horse could hear them.

Jiang Hai smiled and raised his eyebrows, and said to Cai'er,

"Ask your young lady if I was disabled last night."

Yuchi Ziling was teased by him and blushed and pinched Jiang Hai angrily.

Cai Er was a little girl after all, so she asked innocently,

"Miss, were you with him last night? What for?"

Yuchi Ziling was once again socially dead. Jiang Hai laughed so hard that he couldn't stop laughing.

"Cai'er, your young lady and I discussed martial arts all night last night, especially spearmanship. You know that your young lady just got a secret manual on spearmanship, right?"

"Oh, so that's how it is." Cai'er nodded seriously. She believed it, really believed it.

"Also, you have to change your words from now on. Either call me uncle or young master, understand?"

"Oh, okay, son-in-law." Cai'er nodded seriously again.

Jiang Hai smiled slightly, expressing his satisfaction. This girl is really fun. Yuchi Ziling was speechless. She felt that sooner or later she would be ripped off by this girl. She had been ripped off once in the capital, and she was still so naive here.

"By the way, didn't some people say that you have epilepsy and are foaming at the mouth? You're not really having epilepsy, are you?" Yuchi Ziling looked at Jiang Hai with a bit of disgust.

"Tsk, how is that possible? I packed it with milk," Jiang Hai said proudly. "Extra crispy milk, you haven't tried it, right? Let me tell you, not every drop of milk is called extra crispy."

"Isn't milk water? How can it be crispy?" Yuchi Ziling asked in confusion.

"You don't understand this, do you? I'll take you to see our dairy farm later. We have imported cows, and they produce a lot of milk..."

Jiang Hai continued to deceive the ignorant girl, and the imported cows he mentioned were robbed from pirates.

The two girls nodded as if they understood, and were stunned by what they heard.

When they arrived at Jiang's house, several people got off the carriage.

The entrance was fine, just like an ordinary wealthy family. After entering the gate, Yuchi Ziling and Cai'er were no longer calm.

"Wow, this is too exaggerated."

Cai'er's jaw almost dropped to the ground. The Jiang Mansion was decorated with carved railings and jade.

The pavilions, towers, rockery and ponds are all top-notch works. Although the size is similar to that of the general's mansion, the things inside all show the temperament of a local tyrant and nouveau riche.

Moreover, all the windows are made of glass, and most of the utensils are either made of jade or glass.

In their opinion, one must be very rich to afford such a luxurious house. However, glass is the most commonly used item in Jiang Hai's daily life.

"Your family is so rich." Yuchi Ziling couldn't help but sigh.

"No, this is our home now." Jiang Hai helped her adjust her position.

"Oh." Yuchi Ziling was still in shock and hadn't figured out what Jiang Hai meant. She just said "oh" and continued to follow him into the lobby.

When Jiang Xiuyuan saw his son leading people in, he smiled widely.

When Yuchi Ziling met Jiang Xiuyuan, she performed a female ceremony, even though she was dressed in men's clothing. Seeing this, Siqin came up and said she would take her to bathe and change clothes first.

So, Yuchi Ziling and her servant followed Siqin to the backyard.

In the lobby, Jiang Xiuyuan was just having a good time. He was very happy that his son had finally come to his senses. He kept saying "good, good, good".

Jiang Hai couldn't stand it any longer, so he went to him to settle the score, pointing at the two slap marks on his face.

"Look at what you did. She slapped me twice."

"Fanning well, fanning well." Jiang Xiuyuan continued to laugh happily.

"What do you mean by a good slap? If you weren't my father, I would definitely beat you up, believe it or not."

Jiang Hai got angry when he saw him like this. To be precise, this was just his adopted father as a time traveler, but after so many years, he just treated him as his biological father.

"I said I slapped you well, so what? If I hadn't slapped you twice, you wouldn't have gotten the hang of it." Jiang Xiuyuan gave him a look of disdain. "You're still a virgin at eighteen. It would be embarrassing for your father to tell anyone about it."

"..." Jiang Hai was speechless. It turned out that single people were miserable in every era. Even his own father looked down on them.

Jiang Hai couldn't get any good from his father, so he started to throw a tantrum.

"Sixth son, get over here. You helped my dad get the drug, and you didn't even bother telling me?"

Liuzi heard the call at the door, walked into the lobby quietly, turned around very consciously and stuck his butt out.

Jiang Hai took a short run-up and kicked out with a whip kick, "Ah Da."

"Bang."

There was a dull thud, and Jiang Hai kept jumping while holding his calf, gasping for air in pain.

"Fuck you, who told you to have a steel plate in your butt?"

"Master, this is the [Death-Immune Steel Plate] given by the master." Liuzi grinned and ran away immediately.

Jiang Xiuyuan sat calmly in the main seat, drinking tea and watching his son's performance as if he were watching a monkey show.

Jiang Hai was completely out of temper. He found a seat and sat down, rubbing his shin bone. Fortunately, he didn't use his full strength, otherwise it would have been broken.

"Dad, how could you have been demoted back then when you have so many clever ideas? It's unbelievable."

"Hmph, what do you know? You're still alive even though you were demoted. Otherwise, do you think you would be alive today?" Jiang Xiuyuan snorted.

"What happened back then?" Jiang Hai became a little curious.

Jiang Xiuyuan stood up and paced a few steps, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Back then, when the First and Second Princes were fighting, your father was the Minister of Personnel, and the relationship was very important. If I hadn't acted in time, the First Prince would have planned to kill me and replace me with his own people.

Fortunately, Yuchi Zhong, oh yes, he is your father-in-law now, and he helped me. I might not have escaped being ambushed all the way to southern Xinjiang.

Your father has also seen through the dirty work in the court. What's the point of fighting until you lose your life? In the end, the two princes both ended up in a bad situation, and now the third prince is the only one in power.

It's been wonderful to be free and easy these past few years. The only thing I feel indebted to is Yuchi Zhong for saving my life. I'm hoping to repay my old friend someday when I have the chance."

"And you repay him by drugging your son and his daughter?" Jiang Hai glanced at his father teasingly.
