Chapter 431 The Old Man: Hey, they've come to our door again?
"Oh dear. Miss, please take the young nobleman inside first. I'll send someone to fetch a doctor right away."
Zhao Yuniang glanced at Eunuch Wang again, her eyes filled with a hint of disdain, and simply instructed, "Go to town and fetch the renowned doctor from the Lü family."
"Hey, just you wait and see."
Eunuch Wang responded and then bowed and scraped as he watched Zhao Yuniang enter. Once she was out of sight, the smile in his eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by an unfathomable chill; his gaze was even more terrifying than that of a venomous snake on its hunt.
At this moment, Xiao Linzi came in through the door and whispered something in Wang Gonggong's ear.
Eunuch Wang sneered, "They haven't even grown wings yet, and they dare to fool me? Just chop them up and feed them to the dogs."
Xiao Linzi's eyes flashed, and he immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, son will take care of it right away."
"Hey, wait a minute." Eunuch Wang suddenly called out to the person and asked, "Has there been any word from the princess? Has she asked me to pay my respects?"
That one is the true master; even this princess pales in comparison. Even the Imperial Concubine cannot afford to offend her. Naturally, he must be careful.
Xiao Linzi nodded hurriedly in agreement: "The guards around the princess said that the princess has no time to see anyone, but..."
As he spoke, Xiao Linzi looked around and then said, "I've found out that the princess and her personal guards are no longer with the Xie family."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wang immediately looked over and asked, "What did you say?"
Xiao Linzi nodded firmly: "It seems like they've been gone for two days."
Eunuch Wang sighed, "What bad luck! The princess isn't here. I'm afraid we really have to make this trip."
Then he walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Linzi hurried to catch up, saying, "Godfather, but they are the family that saved His Highness the Sixth Prince's life!"
Eunuch Wang sneered, "You still lack experience. Come on, your godfather will take you to broaden your horizons today."
He then glanced at the guards behind him: "You four, and you four, all of you follow."
Meanwhile, at Jiang Nuan's home.
Baozhu changed into clean clothes and sat on the sofa, looking very tidy. Xiao Er and Ping'er were holding medicine bottles and applying medicine to her.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Little Baozhu tried to pull her little arm back, and Xiao Er was startled. He quickly withdrew his hand, saying, "I'm sorry, brother didn't mean it. Please be gentle, brother."
"Don't bother, I'll do it." Ping'er glanced at the waiter with dissatisfaction and tried to take the medicated oil from his hand.
"No, brother, I can manage. I absolutely won't hurt my sister." Xiao Er was afraid that Ping'er would deprive him of the opportunity to take care of his sister, so he held the medicated oil tightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "If I had known my sister was injured like this, I should have sprinkled that bottle of poison on those two bastards and let them die from the poison."
"Damn it, that brat, I didn't hit him hard enough!" The old man's face darkened as he looked at Baozhu's once fair and tender arms, now swollen and red. The next second, he kicked Xinbo in the butt: "It's all your fault. You suddenly had a fit, otherwise how could our Baozhu have suffered such an injustice?"
Xinbo was stunned by the kick, frowning as he looked at Baozhu: "Miss, I'll go kill the assassin." Then, he turned to the old man: "But who are you?"
The old man was momentarily stunned by the question and looked at Xinbo in disbelief.
Ping'er couldn't help but slap himself on the forehead. He'd been suffering from headaches for two or three days already, and he didn't know how his mother had managed to do it.
Baozhu laughed at the sight of these people, then patted her little chest and gestured as she spoke, "I didn't lose out at all! I pinched Zhao Niuniu's thigh right here, it hurt so much!"
As she spoke, Baozhu suddenly sprang up, waving her little fists and saying, "I want to learn martial arts! Like my mother, I want to be super strong!"
"We'll talk about that when you're older. Sit down first," the old man said.
"No, I want to learn now, Grandpa Jing, please teach me."
The old man rubbed his temples: "No, you're still injured. If Anuan comes back and sees you covered in wounds, she'll skin me alive! Be good, Baozhu, I'll definitely teach you later!"
Baozhu frowned slightly: "Then Grandpa Xin, teach me!"
Xinbo squatted down earnestly and said, "Young lady doesn't need to learn. If you want to kill someone, Old Xin will go."
"No, I want to do it myself, brother! Teach me!" Baozhu looked at her brother again.
Ping'er patted his younger sister's head: "If you really want to, I'll teach you when you grow up. For now, you should eat well and take care of your health first."
Baozhu pouted. Did they really think she was a two or three-year-old child? They were just trying to fool her.
She secretly plotted that when her mother returned, she would tell her that she would become an even more powerful general than her father, so that everyone would be terrified and kowtow before her!
Then she'll lead her mother and swagger around the village like mad, beating up anyone they hate eight times a day! Especially Zhao Niu Niu!!!
Seeing that Baozhu had calmed down and stopped talking about learning martial arts, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
We already have a capable girl in the family. If we raise another one, how will we survive?
Absolutely not!
The old man thought that Xiao Baozhu's personality was most like Nuan'er's, but she was much more fierce. Specifically, at such a young age, she could carry a bucket of water around the yard by herself without any effort. She could also slap an insect to death and toss it into a bottle without batting an eye.
However, he was conflicted at the moment; it would be a pity not to teach this promising talent.
After all, this girl isn't very bright; she still can't figure out what four plus five equals.
The day before yesterday, he ran out of money and exchanged four coins for five coins with her. He did this several times, but she didn't notice she was short of money. If he doesn't learn martial arts, what will he do in the future?
Just as he was struggling with this, he vaguely heard a sound coming from outside the door.
"Listen up, everyone inside! Hand over the two people who just injured the Zhao family now, and we'll let bygones be bygones."
The old man was already in a bad mood, and upon hearing this, he laughed in exasperation: "Hey, I didn't go looking for trouble with anyone, and they've come knocking on my door? That's really something. Come on, Old Xin."
At that moment, Dean Yue came out of the kitchen with a bowl of pearl soup in his hand and placed it in front of Xiao Baozhu.
"Don't be afraid, little girl. Uncle Yue will go and help you get revenge."
He was studying policy essays at home, so excited that Ping'er's progress was so rapid that he hadn't noticed what was happening outside. The Jiang couple had entrusted their child to him, and he hadn't looked after her properly; he was feeling guilty, and now he'd been caught in the crossfire. Naturally, he had to make a good impression.
Ping'er's face was also gloomy: "Xiao Er, Fu Man, you two stay at home and take care of Bao Zhu."
He then exchanged a glance with Fusheng beside him, and the two of them went out first. Both of them looked eager to get started.
"Wait, let them in first." The old man stopped Ping'er, stroking his chin with a playful expression: "Only then can we close the door and beat the dog."
Ping'er understood and went to open the door without saying a word. Seeing that there were only about ten people in the group, she immediately gave a harmless smile:
"Gentlemen, please come inside and have a talk."
Outside, Eunuch Wang glanced at Ping'er, a cool smile playing on his lips.
He glanced back at Xiao Linzi and said, "Watch how your godfather acts, and be smarter."
Xiao Linzi nodded hurriedly: "Yes."
As Wang Gonggong and his entourage entered, they were surprised to find that the courtyard was a hidden paradise, comparable to even the capital city, and they couldn't help but take a second look. Suddenly, they heard a loud bang behind them.
He turned around in confusion and saw the heavy iron gate behind him slam shut. The bolt was firmly in place.
