"Young Master Tu, Baima Temple is a sacred Buddhist site, not a place for lewd acts to harass respectable young women."
If Young Master Tu cannot control his own and his servants' words and actions, please leave White Horse Temple.
Tu Haoyu felt very wronged. He just wanted an address, how did it become harassment of an innocent girl?
Not one to tolerate being wronged, he voiced his doubts.
After the monk finished explaining the whole story, Tu Haoyu's face turned ashen.
He then kicked Dezi several times.
Although he was a playboy, he wasn't stupid.
He knows very well what can and cannot be said. This Dezi is clearly stirring up trouble for the Tu family.
"When did I say I wanted to take someone's daughter as a concubine? When did I say that it was easy to wipe out someone's entire family?"
Even my father wouldn't dare utter such arrogant words, yet you do. Who do you think you are? Just a lackey.
"Guards, drag this brat away and lock him up. He'll be sold off tomorrow. I can't afford to keep such a precious servant."
The guard, who had been playing a background role, stepped out, picked up Dezi again, and quickly tied him up securely with a rope.
"Young master, young master, you can't sell me."
Everything I do is for you, my lord.
If you, sir, didn't like that girl, why would you send me to ask for her address?
Besides, this woman from such a remote and impoverished place is utterly unworthy of your status, young master. If not a concubine, why should she be your principal wife?
My lord, you cannot sell your servant.
"This servant has served you, young master, for many years. Even if I haven't achieved anything great, I have certainly worked hard and served you with all my heart..."
Dezi cried and wailed. Grabbing his guard, the guard quickly took off Dezi's socks and stuffed them into Dezi's mouth.
The world fell silent. Tu Haoyu crouched on the ground, holding his head, utterly bewildered.
"What on earth is going on? How come the servant is unusable just because I asked for an address, to the point of having to be sold off? Is it really necessary?"
"As for it," the guard said.
Tu Haoyu was startled and only then realized that he had accidentally blurted out his true feelings.
“But Dezi has been with me for almost ten years. I can’t bear to sell him off like this. I consider him a brother.”
Tu Haoyu murmured.
The guard's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "You treat a servant like a brother? Have you lost your mind?"
“Young master, it is your kindness that has nurtured my ambition.”
"That scoundrel who relies on his master's power! It's fortunate this is in Lingnan Prefecture; if this were in the capital, the lord would probably be in the palace apologizing by now."
The guard said no more after finishing his sentence.
Tu Haoyu squatted on the ground, pondering. Finally, he sat down, resting his chin on his hands and elbows on his knees, thinking about his past with Dezi.
By the end, Tu Haoyu was covered in sweat.
Over the years, it seems that many absurd things have happened because Dezi was stirring things up on the sidelines, and then he went and caused trouble himself.
"If Dezi hadn't said that, I probably wouldn't have impulsively picked a fight with him..."
In the end, Dezi was dealt with by that guard.
As for where it was sold, Tu Haoyu didn't know, and the guards didn't say either.
The guard was specially sent by Tu Gu to follow his youngest son, and he was also instructed to deal with Dezi when the opportunity arose.
This kid is almost ruined now. In order to stop him from causing any more trouble, all the servants around him must be replaced.
As the saying goes, it's not that there are no good things, it's that there are no good people.
Without Dezi nagging him, Tu Haoyu was able to concentrate on the scriptures after one night.
But the face of that lively girl would always float past Tu Haoyu's eyes.
This troubled him greatly, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he went to seek an audience with the Void.
“Benefactor, let it go. It is not meant for you,” Xu Kong said after hearing Tu Haoyu’s words.
Tu Haoyu left the empty meditation room dejectedly.
After descending the mountain, Huang and Zhao Qingyan boarded a carriage and went straight home, having no further interest in strolling around.
"What bad luck! How did I run into such an ignorant bastard? Humph, what kind of son of a vice minister is he? I think he's nothing but a piece of trash."
A spoiled brat trying to eat swan meat like a toad? Doesn't he fear choking to death?
"Taking a concubine? I'll take his mother as a concubine..." Madam Huang raged on, truly furious.
If this happened anywhere else, we would definitely beat them to a pulp.
Zhao Qingyan was shocked by Huang's rich vocabulary; she had never seen Huang use such a large number of words when cursing.
They've been cursing for almost half an hour now, and it feels like they haven't repeated a single word yet.
Huang was cursing, while Zhao Qingyan was laughing. Occasionally, she would hand the old lady a bottle of water to moisten her throat.
Feeling that she had vented a lot of her frustration, Huang realized that her granddaughter was watching the commotion.
He poked Zhao Qingyan's forehead.
"You heartless little brat, Grandma's so angry, and you don't even try to comfort me."
Zhao Qingyan said with amusement,
"I'm just bringing you some water. I'm worried you'll get tired."
Okay, don't be angry. Today, he's just a lackey.
Although servants rely on the power of their masters, it doesn't necessarily mean that the masters are as despicable as the servants.
Besides, just because he says I should be a concubine, am I supposed to become one? Wouldn't I break my teeth?
Our family may not have any background or power, but if anyone dares to mess with us, we'll do it secretly if we can't do it openly.
If even a sack over the head or a blunt object doesn't work, like that young master today who couldn't explain himself, then cripple his third leg.
I refuse to believe it. He's already a eunuch, what right does he have to take a concubine?
If they still don't behave, then shut them up completely. Zhao Qingyan thought to herself that last sentence.
She didn't want her grandmother to know that despite being born under the red flag, she also had a dark side.
Lu Feng, who was rushing to catch the carriage outside, heard everything clearly. He immediately felt a cold breeze blowing between his legs and unconsciously shifted his buttocks.
It seems like this will keep me away from the Third Miss.
Who would have thought that the seemingly delicate Third Miss was actually a ruthless character?
When the Zhao family heard that Zhao Qingyi and Wang Huaijing's horoscopes indicated a match made in heaven, they were overjoyed. A rare blush appeared on Zhao Qingyi's face.
Since the Zhao family started doing business, Zhao Qingyi's personality has become increasingly assertive, and it's rare to see her looking so shy anymore.
Although the woman's family was supposed to be reserved, it was still best to value this match made in heaven. The next day, they sent someone to inform the Wang family.
Wang Huaijing was so happy that he paced around his living room several times.
"Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, the formal betrothal ceremony will take place. Please convey this to the Zhao family."
Wang Huaijing said to Hai'an. After seeing Hai'an off, he took his father to the storeroom to pick out things.
Wang Guangzu also looked delighted, showing no awareness whatsoever that his spendthrift son was about to squander the family fortune.
