Xu Si didn't even raise an eyebrow, just focused on eating. After dinner, he had to go to the gambling house on the next street. He had been lucky these past few days and won a lot of money. Let him enjoy himself for a few days before dealing with that damn girl Xu Jiang.
Shopkeeper Wu threatened, "If you try to bargain with me again, I'll report you to the police and have you arrested."
"Then how are you going to explain to your master?" Xu Si picked up a can of soup and gulped it down.
Shopkeeper Wu wanted to choke him to death in the soup. "If you continue to waste time and delay the boss's business, I'll see how you die."
Xu Si said nonchalantly, "He's in jail, and he's been in touch. What can possibly go wrong?"
"Your sister is a cunning one. If she finds out, you won't be able to accomplish this."
"So what if she notices us? Can she still kill us?"
"She can't kill you, but she can get those two out of jail. What's the point of you complaining then?"
"Get rid of her? How? To redeem her? If she's willing to pay, why would I bother with so much trouble?"
After Xu Si had eaten his fill, he picked up a fish bone to pick his teeth.
"You don't understand her. This damned girl is just like my damned Sixth Uncle. She's as stubborn as a donkey and always sticks to her guns. Besides, considering the grudge between her and us, asking her to atone for the punishment of Xu Twelve and my Fifth Brother would be worse than cutting her flesh with a knife."
He threw the fish bone away and said with a smile, "She really wants us to die."
Wu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you from the same clan? What's the grudge between you that requires you to fight to the death?"
Xu Si snorted and laughed, "Maybe it's the revenge for his father's murder or the resentment for being exiled."
At the beginning, Xu Jiang would rather burn down the old house and Xu Yuan together than leave it to them, which shows her hatred for the Xu family.
Before coming to the capital, Xu Si had thought that after so many years, those past events would have faded. But when he met her in the capital, he realized that this damned girl was still as cruel as ever. Without a word, she threw his fifth brother and Xu Twelve into jail, showing no mercy.
Besides, now that she has someone to rely on, she doesn't take them seriously and can control them at will.
After this incident, he finally understood that Xu Jiang and them were irreconcilable. But this was also good. The more she hated them and the more she refused to compromise, the better it was for him.
So he said to Wu Guanshi nonchalantly, "Don't worry. Even if she knew we wanted to overturn the verdict, given her current situation and past hatred, she would never reconcile, let alone redeem her sentence."
Manager Wu was still worried, so he had to go to the prison tomorrow to check. He also forced Xu Wu to go to the yamen as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
"I'm done eating. I'm leaving." Xu Wu staggered down the stairs, touching his stomach, and headed towards the gambling house on the street.
Facing the table littered with cups and plates, Manager Wu treated it as if he had raised a pig. He paid the money, then called a servant and asked him to go to the gambling house and talk to the dealers.
That night, Xu Wu lost all the money he had.
