Chapter 116 Who is the boss? Come out and let me see
Could it be that Hou Yuanji discovered something?
Although they are no longer wary of Hou Yuanji, it is better to have less trouble than more.
Xie Jingci calmly distanced himself from Lu Wanyin.
He leaned against Xuan Qi: "Alright."
Lu Wanyin patted her face lightly and stood up. "Let me do it. Xuanqi, help Lord Hou pass on the message and finalize the matter of taking over the academy."
Xuan Qi accepted the order: "Yes."
What do you mean by help? Isn't it just supervising Hou Yuanji's work?
After Lu Wanyin and the other two had gone far away, Xuan Qi slapped Hou Yuanji awake and said, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Despite being so rude, Hou Yuanji was not angry at all.
Instead, he stared at Xuan Qi blankly: "Did I give her the silver just now?"
Xuan Qi was puzzled: "Yes, Lord Hou is stupid?"
Hou Yuanji wanted to smash the bowl.
We agreed not to put forward any conditions!!!
It would have been fine to just let him take over the academy, but now he was asked for money after the meal was already in his stomach.
Lu Wanyin had cheated him out of so much money, how could he not even come up with more than a hundred taels?
The key point is that he was used to being oppressed by Lu Wanyin and the others along the way, so he gave in subconsciously.
It's a sin.
Hou Yuanji said with a sad face: "Can I ask that woman to return the money?"
He had only been in hiding for a day.
Xuan Qi: "...If you don't want to live anymore, get the job done quickly and don't delay your rest."
It's quite harmonious here.
In another villager's home in Qinghe Village, the atmosphere was depressing.
Especially Xie Deyao, his face turned pale and blue, as if he was about to die.
Two people died within one day, his wife and his beloved youngest son.
He felt his mind was in a mess.
Even if they reach the wilderness and settle down in the future, there will only be four of them, father and son, left in their eldest family.
The second and third wives are very powerful and will definitely not treat them well.
As for Xie Jingci...
Now Xie Deyao no longer expects Xie Jingci to stand on their side.
If Xie Jingci was still willing to help him, then with Lu Wanyin around, their eldest wife wouldn't have fallen to this point!
Zhou and Xie Zichuan will not die either.
Unfilial son, this unfilial son!
Xie Deyao cursed Xie Jingci a hundred times in his heart, completely forgetting how they had treated Xie Jingci before.
The sound of my stomach growling was incessant.
I was already used to being hungry, so it was no big deal to eat some black steamed buns to fill my stomach.
But today, Lu Wanyin deliberately bit the wonton, and I couldn't swallow it at all.
The increasingly cold weather makes the black steamed buns freeze even harder.
I've been so hungry these days that I don't have much strength left. I can't even bite.
The kind villagers boiled some hot water for them, which gave them some relief.
Several people from the Xie family secretly glanced at the two dozing escorts.
That bitch Lu Wanyin specifically instructed these two people to keep an eye on them and not to take anything from the villagers' homes.
Unless you buy it with silver.
This bitch knew full well that all their money had been taken away.
Aunt Fang looked at the lady who came to deliver water and waved to her quietly.
Seeing someone coming, she quickly lowered her voice to the lowest point: "You may not know that although we were escorted here, we have a good relationship with the escorting adults. You will find out once you ask."
The woman's eyes lit up: "You mean the village chief's daughter-in-law? The wontons she makes are the best in Ning County. When life was better, we went there often. The taste is so..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help swallowing.
The Xie family didn’t know whether she could recall the taste of the wontons.
The Xie family had finally forgotten that feeling, but her words brought it back to mind.
Aunt Fang shook her head quickly.
Are wontons the key?
The key point is that you have to know that we have a good relationship with the group of people in the village chief's family.
So you have to be a little more considerate and quietly get us some delicious food.
Aunt Fang was anxious: "That's not what I'm talking about. Can you——"
"I understand. You want to eat wontons."
The woman had an "I understand" look on her face: "Wait a minute, I'll go to the village chief's house and ask. It's just getting dark, so it should still be in time if we start cooking now."
She had heard long ago that the village chief's family was currently occupied by a prominent figure from the capital!
She had wanted to go and see it for a long time.
Aunt Fang was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she stopped him loudly: "Ah, you..."
The two escorts were not asleep to begin with, so when they heard the noise, they were too lazy to pay attention.
But now that this voice has come out, if they ignore it, they will be dereliction of duty.
"What are you guys doing? Behave yourself."
The escort glanced coldly at the Xie family members and slapped his sheathed sword on the ground twice: "Get out quickly after delivering the water."
The woman smiled enthusiastically: "These uncles want to eat wontons, I'll go to the village chief's house to see."
Aunt Fang's face turned pale with fright.
The rest of the Xie family waved their hands repeatedly: "I'm not, I didn't, she's just talking nonsense."
This country woman is so stupid.
Can I say this directly?
Besides, when did they say they wanted to eat wontons?
Sure enough, the escort's face changed.
The two men gritted their teeth and said, "Uncle, which uncle wants to eat? Come on, come on, stand up yourself."
All the Xie family members shrank back.
Only the village woman looked puzzled and pointed at the Xie family members: "What's wrong with you, sir? Aren't they the ones?"
Because of Lu Wanyin's warning, the two escorts were very polite to the villagers who were staying in this house from the very beginning.
The owner of the house was a little reserved at first.
Later, I found that the two escorts were very friendly, so I lost my fear and spoke naturally.
The sound of a long sword being unsheathed was heard, and the bailiff placed the sword directly on the neck of Xie Deyi, who was closest to him.
He said coldly: "How could I not know that you guys are still the masters?"
Lu Wanyin now has the final say over the escort team.
Even though Lord Hou almost sold himself out as written in his IOU, the relationship between the Xie family and Lu Wanyin is not as good as that between them and the bailiffs.
"No, no, no, sir, I am wronged."
Xie Deyi was originally hugging his knees, leaning against the wall, trying to curl up to keep warm.
Being stabbed by the knife, he fell forward and knelt on the ground: "Please spare my life, sir. I am the closest to you. You should know everything. I didn't say anything."
“Nothing was said”
The escort smiled sinisterly: "Isn't that your concubine? How dare she be so bold if you don't order her?"
They just thought that these people from the Xie family had a good day and they didn't know who they were.
"Who told me to take away the hot water that was delivered to me?"
The guard glanced at the still steaming kettle and said, "Nothing is allowed to be brought in without our orders."
For the first time, the woman got angry at the police officer, and her fear of these officials surged up again.
Without saying a word, he took the hot water back as he was told.
Everyone in the Xie family watched helplessly as the hot water they had just received was taken away, not even daring to glance at it.
"You people, understand your place. This is exile! Do you understand?"
"You still want something? Do you think you are Lu Wan... or Madam Xie?"
The bailiff snorted coldly and leaned back.
