How could he dare to keep such a person?
Shang Tian must be extraordinary to have received the news so quickly; we should not underestimate him.
Peng San toyed with the teacup in his hand, smiling as he looked at the group.
Old Wang wasn't stupid; as soon as Peng San said that, he knew things were going to go wrong.
How can someone who is not loyal to his old master be expected to be loyal to a new master?
"Exactly." He chuckled and looked at Peng San, saying, "I wonder if this news is enough to exchange for a meal?"
How can we find them a place to stay?
Old Wang's heart was pounding.
I just hope he didn't make the wrong bet.
Peng San remained silent, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
Wang Da's wife glanced at Old Wang, then at Wang Da, a cold smile creeping onto her lips. She took a few small steps forward, knelt before Peng San, and said, "Please, City Lord, have pity on my son and me."
Peng San glanced at Wang Da's wife with some surprise, "Oh?"
He looked at Wang Da with a hint of amusement. His wife was about to cheat on him right in front of him; he wondered what Wang Da was feeling.
Wang Da's face instantly turned ashen. He abruptly stood up and was about to grab his wife's hair when he yelled, "You bitch!"
But before his hand could touch Wang Da's wife, he was stopped. "What does this young master intend to do in my city lord's mansion?"
He protected this person.
He raised his hand, and guards filed in.
"What do you want?" He looked at Wang Da's wife with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Wang's wife raised her head and said, "I want my son to live."
This was a mother's lifelong wish; she would do anything to keep her son alive.
Peng San's body stiffened slightly. He thought of his mother, who had said to him, "San'er, you must live well."
She, like the woman before me, would do anything for her child.
He took a deep breath and said, "What if I want you to serve me?"
"As long as Heng'er can eat his fill, I... am willing."
No woman wants to sell her body for material things, but... a mother's love makes her strong.
Peng San nodded and said to the female guard beside him, "Take her downstairs to wash up."
"You...you..." He wanted to use the most insulting words he knew to curse Wang Da's wife.
But something seemed to be blocking his throat, preventing him from speaking.
Wang's wife turned around, gave him a cold look, and said, "Heng'er will take the surname Lu from now on."
Wang's wife's maiden name was Lu.
"Lu, have you thought this through?" Old Wang looked at Lu as if she were a dead man.
Lu sneered, "How could I not understand?"
She didn't want her son to be like them, with no moral compass and eating anything.
Old Wang stopped wasting words with her and looked at Peng San, saying, "I have a topographical map of Jizhou and know how to attack Shangjia Village."
Peng San frowned slightly, looked at him, and asked, "What do you want?"
Madam Lu tightened her grip on Lu Heng's hand, knowing that Old Master Wang would not let her off the hook.
But once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Even if there were a turning point, she wouldn't want to go back to Wang Da's side.
She took a deep breath. "A heartless person like you should have starved to death in that dilapidated temple back then."
If it weren't for Shang Tian, would they have survived to this day?
It would be one thing if he sold a piece of information, but he actually wanted to push Peng San to attack Shangjia Village!
Hatred, a hatred that seeps into the bones.
She knew that Old Wang was doing this only to get Peng San to kill her.
But she knew perfectly well that they couldn't defeat Shang Tian. If Peng San really attacked Shangjia Village, she and her son might be forced to become homeless again.
