He asked Jane Ning to stay and Jane Ning really stayed. It would not be so easy to ask her to leave later. Although she didn't know what relationship these people had with Meixiang, she had to be on guard against Meixiang. This girl was a little brat and not a good person.
"What can I do for you?" she asked deliberately, acting as if she was extremely reluctant to stay.
The clan leader was originally walking towards the ancestral hall, but when he heard him call Jian Ning to stay, he turned around.
Some villagers stopped and watched when they saw the patriarch turned around.
Pei Xiyuan glanced at Meixiang and said, "Since she said that she was in this situation because of you, you can't leave for the time being."
"What?" Jian Ning laughed angrily.
Did she hear correctly? He had been a Chinese citizen for a month, on the land of Dayan Country, on her one acre and three mu of land in Dingxian Village, and he actually restricted her personal freedom.
It's ridiculous!
"What if I must leave?" Jian Ning's face darkened.
"Don't misunderstand, female Bodhisattva." Xiong Er quickly pointed at Mei Xiang and said, "This girl is very likely my master's niece."
As soon as he said this, Jian Ning and Mei Xiang exclaimed "Ah" at the same time.
Pei Xiyuan was dressed like a young man from a wealthy family, and Meixiang was from the Taifu Mansion, so how could she not see that he was of noble status? Not to mention, she took a closer look at Pei Xiyuan and realized that he really did look a bit like her father.
"Uncle, you must be my uncle. Your eyes, nose, and mouth look exactly like my father's. My father often talked about my uncle, saying that he was kidnapped when he was young. I never thought that today you would let me..."
"Shut up!" Pei Xiyuan's face darkened.
What a kidnapper! What nonsense!
"Don't be so hasty to call me uncle yet. Once I prove that you are really my niece, you will be able to call me uncle again. And let me see the pendant."
Meixiang quickly turned around, took off the pendant from her neck, and handed it to Jian Ning with both hands. She gouged out Jian Ning's eyes, looking very proud. She hadn't even acknowledged her relatives yet and she was already complaining, "This country woman can't stand seeing me doing well. It was she who had tricked my son into marrying me to a fool!"
Country woman?
Before Jian Ning could lose her temper, Erniu and Sanniu refused to listen. Sanniu yelled, "You are a country woman!" She rushed over like a cannonball and punched Meixiang in the stomach several times.
Erniu spat directly on Meixiang's skirt.
Meixiang screamed. She always hated Erniu and raised her hand to hit her, but Erniu had already pulled Sanniu back to Jian Ning.
Jian Ning rubbed her forehead. These two little things, uh, forget it, they're her own children. It's not too late to teach them a lesson when she gets home. Although it was to protect her, spitting at people is really not a good habit.
But there is no way. Most children in the countryside are like this. It seems that they can no longer be left alone. The two children run around all day long. This cannot go on.
"Is your father really born on the third day of the first lunar month in the year of Wuyin, at the fourth quarter of the first hour?" Pei Xiyuan looked carefully at the human tooth pendant, and it was exactly the same as what his mother said.
Before leaving, his mother hesitated to speak, but finally told him about it. Suo Wen Zheng was also there at the time, and his mother did not avoid him. It seemed that Suo Wen Zheng knew from the beginning that he had a half-brother.
He gave the human tooth pendant to Suo Wenzheng and said, "Keep it safe for now."
"That won't do," Meixiang said. "I've had this hanging since I was little. My father told me not to lose it. It's crucial to my lifelong prosperity."
Pei Xiyuan's eyes darkened, "Do you care so much about wealth and glory?"
Meixiang rolled her eyes inwardly. Isn't that nonsense? Who doesn't want wealth and splendor? Who has a grudge against splendor and splendor? If this man in front of her was really her uncle, judging by his attire, she lived comfortably while her family struggled. She had been sold into slavery at the Huo Mansion when she was just over eight years old, and who knew how many beatings and scoldings she had endured from the housekeepers.
Now she was forced to marry a fool and was beaten and tortured every day. When she thought about the sad things, she almost cried.
"Forget it! You haven't told me what year your father was born?" Pei Xiyuan frowned when he saw her eyes were red.
"I don't know what the Wuyin year is. I only know that my father was born in the second year of the Yongping era, on the third day of the first lunar month at 4:04 pm. I was also born on the third day of the first lunar month, but at 5:05 pm pm."
There is a folk legend that the Yin hour is when the sun and the moon alternate. It is said that people born at the Yin hour are usually considered to be born with a rich and noble fate. Meixiang has heard this from her parents since she was a child, otherwise she would not have been dreaming of such wealth and nobility.
The second year of Yongping was the year of Wuyin. Although Meixiang had not seen her father in person and could not be sure whether her father was her brother, the human tooth pendant was not a valuable item. If it was not related to her life experience, who would pass it on to their children for collection?
Since Meixiang might be his niece, Pei Xiyuan couldn't just sit back and watch her spend her whole life with a fool.
He looked at Chen Lei who was hiding behind the clan leader. Chen Lei was afraid of Xiong Er and didn't dare to get close to him. He was very angry when he saw Meixiang staying with them, but he didn't know what to do.
"I want to take her away. You go and explain to him clearly how much silver he should give." Pei Xiyuan said this to Jian Ning. In his opinion, Meixiang said that it was Jian Ning who made her marry a fool, so naturally this matter should fall on Jian Ning's head.
Jian Ning scoffed, "How ridiculous! I'm not her parent."
It’s none of her business. Jian Ning felt that Pei Xiyuan was probably stupid. Not to mention that he was just a prince of Yue Kingdom, so what even if he was a prince of Dayan Dynasty?
Prince Yong was still a favored prince, but he was beaten by her until he lost his temper and was even confined to his room. Although he escaped the disaster thanks to the plan of Blind Liu, this was also due to her connections. Throughout history, how many people have been able to conquer the world single-handedly?
It takes three helpers to be a hero. If she angered the Prince of Yue Kingdom, she would beat him up without hesitation. If it weren't for the fact that they had stayed in her inn and she had earned their money, she would have reluctantly endured it based on the principle of customer first.
Jian Ning took Erniu and Sanniu with her and was about to leave, but Suo Wenzhen moved and blocked their way.
"How dare you ignore the general's order?" he whispered with a fierce look in his eyes.
"General? Are you sure? He's your general, not ours. You want a fight? Come on, I'll keep you company!"
Jian Ning threw Erniu and Sanniu towards the clan leader one in each hand. The two little guys had been practicing martial arts with her for a long time. They rolled in the air like two nimble little swallows, and landed steadily on the side of the clan leader, one in front and one behind.
Seeing this, Chen Lei clapped his hands and cheered, "Wow, so awesome! You two little sisters, I'll protect you. Get behind me, quick!"
He hurried forward to pull them apart.
"We don't need your protection." Erniu took Sanniu's hand, and they wanted to watch their mother fight.
"People from the Laifu family, go to the fields and call back everyone. I want to see who dares to act wildly in our village!" The patriarch's face fell and he shouted loudly at a woman.
The woman responded and left in a hurry, and Baimei also flew back quietly.
