Chapter 535 Reunion
As soon as the Seventh Master was taken away, the rain outside stopped. It had been raining for a full half hour.
Fortunately, only those shops caught fire and no other places were damaged. Otherwise, in such heavy rain, many people would have been soaked.
"Sister Fubao, when did you come to the capital? Why didn't you come to my house? My mother has been talking about you and your family since she came back from the border. She also asked someone to bring a lot of special products from the capital. Did you receive them?"
Of course Fubao knew this, she even ate it.
"Brother Chen, I received them all and ate them. They were delicious, especially the dried duck. It tasted really good."
"Xingchen, oh, no, I should call you General. You have really grown up now. You are a head taller than me."
Wan Laoer gestured with a smile.
Wan Xingchen changed his cold and stern look and looked at Wan Laoer with a sunny smile on his face: "Second Uncle, just call me Xingchen. General or not is just an empty title. Calling me Xingchen makes me seem more friendly. Don't worry about these etiquettes. They are just for intimidation."
Wan Laoer felt that although Wan Xingchen had become a general, he was still the same little Xingchen and had not changed at all.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Xingchen, why don't you go sit in my room for a while? You're all wet, don't get cold."
"Uncle, no, I'm still on official business and have no time to spare. But when did you come to the capital?"
"We just arrived today, and we didn't expect to offend this Seventh Master. It's unfortunate."
"Seventh Master? Do you know where this Seventh Master came from?" Wan Xingchen thought, if Wan Laoer knew, he could deal with him today without having to go through the prefect.
Wan Laoer quickly told Wan Xingchen all the information Jia Yanbing had found about the Seventh Master.
After hearing this, Wan Xingchen showed a look of understanding on his face. He turned out to be a worthless lackey. Wan Xingchen despised such people the most. They were of the same character as the side branches of their family over the years, who used the name of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to do evil things outside. He knew this too well.
It’s just that this Seventh Master can’t even get close to the palace, yet he dares to be so rampant. It seems like it’s time to teach him a lesson.
Thinking of this, Wan Xingchen had another idea in his mind. It was really like someone giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy. This sister Fubao is really blessed.
The eldest brother wrote to him and told him to find trouble with the palace if he had the chance. This Seventh Master was really a good excuse to find trouble with the palace.
Although Prince Li has restrained his ambition, Wan Xingmo knows that this man is not a simple person and needs to be on guard against at all times. However, Prince Li is slippery and ruthless, has no flaws, and is a smiling tiger. Others cannot see through his heart at all.
But as long as he couldn't catch him, Wan Xingmo would be on guard against King Li, so he wrote letters to Wan Xingchen. Whenever he had the chance, he would disgust him and create some trouble for him so that he would stop planning a rebellion.
It seems that the Seventh Master cannot be sent to the prefect yet, because this is a very good knife.
"Uncle, Sister Fubao, the rain has stopped outside. I still have official business to attend to. So I'll take my leave first. My mother will probably come to pick you up tomorrow morning."
After hearing this, Wan Lao Er quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, Xingchen, don't tell your mother that we are in Beijing. We are actually here to look for your eldest brother. We don't want to go to the Zhenguo Mansion and cause trouble for you."
Fubao was so excited that he jumped up and down: "Yes, yes, Fubao is willing to go. Fubao misses Sister Yirou and Aunt Zhao so much."
Wan Laoer was immediately embarrassed. This girl was good at dismantling the stage, but what could he say to his own daughter? He could only smile awkwardly at Wan Xingchen.
"Uncle, please don't be polite. Our Duke's Mansion is very big. Now only my mother, my sister and I live at home. My elder brother and my father are guarding the border. My mother thinks the house is too lonely and she complains to me that my elder brother never gets married and doesn't bring anyone to the mansion. Now that sister Fubao is here, she can just go and keep my mother and Rou'er company. They are so happy."
When Wan Laoer heard this, it was even more impossible for him to go. There were only women in the family now, and it would be somewhat inconvenient for him, a man outsider, to visit their home.
"Xingchen, let's talk about this tomorrow. Go back and change your clothes. I won't keep you here any longer."
"Second Uncle, you just said you were here to see my eldest brother. My eldest brother is not in the capital. If you have anything to say, it's the same if you tell me."
Wan Laoer had just heard that Wan Xingmo was not in the capital. He took it for granted and acted on impulse. Wan Xingmo was so powerful, how could the emperor put him in the capital? However, he was still a little worried about what he said to Xingchen.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow. You go back first. I'm not important."
Wan Laoer started to drive people away because he was worried that Wan Xingchen would catch a cold.
"Okay, I'll take my leave first. I'll take a day off tomorrow and come back to see my uncle."
"Okay, uncle is waiting for you."
After Wan Xingchen took his men away, Wan Laoer carried Fubao upstairs. Heituan followed behind them and ran upstairs by himself.
Only Jia Yanbing glanced at the shopkeeper standing next to him with an evasive look, as if he had done something wrong.
Jia Yanbing knew it well. It must be the shopkeeper who betrayed them. Otherwise, why would the Seventh Master come to their door? As long as the shopkeeper didn't say anything, it would be impossible for the Seventh Master to find their inn so quickly. He would have to wait at least one more day.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to look Jia Yanbing in the eye, and quickly hid behind the counter, pretending to settle the bill.
Not until Jia Yanbing went upstairs did the shopkeeper dare to raise his head, look upstairs, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After tossing and turning until midnight, everyone was tired and sleepy.
Nothing happened that night, and the next day, Wan Laoer and his friends got up late as expected.
I slept until noon before getting up.
"Knock knock" someone knocked on Wan Laoer's door.
Wan Laoer just woke up at this time. He took a look at the sunlight outside and immediately sat up from the bed.
"Why is it so late?" Wan Lao Er knocked his head and immediately got out of bed. While putting on his clothes, he shouted outside, "Who is it? Wait a moment."
A crisp voice came from outside: "Uncle, it's me, I'm here to bring you clothes, you don't have to worry."
When Wan Laoer heard the voice of the little girl from yesterday, he was surprised. How could the clothes be washed so quickly? It rained heavily last night. How did the clothes get dry?
Wan Laoer was full of doubts. He finally put on his clothes and walked over to open the door.
When the door opened, he saw the little girl from yesterday, holding two bundles in her hands, and a woman with a haggard face standing next to her.
