"You have no grudge against me, but your grandfather has a grudge against my uncle!"
With Xu Milu behind him, Mo Xuan spoke with a bit more arrogance: "What nonsense are you talking about? To eat or not to eat? Not everyone can taste the cooking skills of my wife, Xu."
Wei Ying and Cheng Chumo exchanged a glance, their curiosity growing even stronger, and they couldn't help but nod repeatedly:
"Of course we want to eat. Please lead us inside, brother."
...
...
As soon as he entered, Cheng Chumo noticed that the curtain moved slightly. Looking down, he saw two brown rattan rattans trembling, as if they were human hands, moving a stool over and even pouring two glasses of clear, plain wine.
"!"
Wei Ying's eyes widened. Although this was only the second time he had seen a monster, most of the ones he had seen at the wedding banquet were humanoid. He had never seen a tree spirit like this before.
"This is the wisteria tree spirit in my shop. You two don't need to be afraid. It's timid and won't hurt anyone."
A clear voice rang out, and Wei Ying and Cheng Chumo looked up, only to see the plain-clad young woman who had been in the kitchen carrying two porcelain bowls as she came out.
The woman appeared to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She had a fair complexion, almond-shaped eyes that were slightly round and bright, and a skin tone that was even fairer than that of many women from wealthy families. Her face was delicate and beautiful, and her plain clothes accentuated her slender figure.
"So, young lady, you are—Mrs. Xu? But the waiter just said you are acquainted with my grandfather—"
Wei Ying couldn't help but stare at Xu Milu rudely, looking at her again and again, seemingly in disbelief.
Xu Milu smiled:
“Young Master Wei, I met Lord Wei once before the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, so we are old acquaintances. When I first arrived in Chang'an, I was afraid I would not have been able to find Huasheng Temple if Lord Wei had not given me directions.”
Wei Ying felt his head was a complete mess: "The Water and Land Dharma Assembly? That's something that happens on the Ghost Festival in July. My grandfather passed away many years ago. How did you manage to see it?"
Xu Milu put down the two bowls of stinky tofu piled high. Judging from Wei Ying's expression, she guessed what was going on. She couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that Lord Wei's uprightness is indeed well-deserved. He didn't even tell his family when he went home to visit them. Doesn't Young Master Wei know? Although Lord Wei's lifespan in the human realm has come to an end, he still has a long lifespan in the underworld. He has entered Fengdu as a judge of the Rewards and Benevolence Department and went home to visit them during the Ghost Festival."
As expected of Wei Zheng, even after becoming a judge, he still remembered the principle of "yin and yang not interfering with each other".
"!"
Wei Ying and Cheng Chumo both looked like they'd been struck by lightning, clearly unable to process this fact.
"My grandfather... became an official in the King of Hell's court? He even became a judge? And he still comes home to visit relatives every year?"
Wei Ying swallowed hard, then suddenly remembered something very important and said in utter terror:
"Then if I frequent brothels, gambling dens, skip school to play, and break curfew, wouldn't my grandfather be—"
Doesn't that mean they know everything?
Given his grandfather's character, seeing what he had done, he would be doing a disservice to the ancestors of the Wei family ancestral hall if he didn't break both of his legs!
"Yes, he should know that. But don't worry, Lord Wei won't punish you now. If he wants to discipline you, he'll have to wait until you're dead and in Fengdu City."
Xu Milu thought for a moment and said with absolute certainty.
Wei Ying: "..."
Thank you, I feel comforted.
