"That's right. Oh, poor thing! Look how scared the little girl is! She's already turned pale. She should go back and drink some tranquilizing medicine to relieve her anxiety. This will prevent her from having nightmares tonight."
Chu Ci: ...
My face is already white.
Not scared, thank you.
Chu Ci pursed her lips.
Just wanted to speak.
Someone spoke again.
"Hey, I think that looks like the young master of the Zhang family?"
"Oh, you know what, it really looks like that. Didn't they say that the Zhang family's business failed before, and those branches of the Zhang family took advantage of the situation and divided up the Zhang family?"
"That's right. The young master seemed to trust his relative quite a bit at the time. He followed that relative out, but they were robbed by bandits along the way. Although he returned, that place... ahem, it's ruined and unusable."
"I've heard about that, but I didn't expect... From the looks of it, is he crazy?"
"Those branches of the Zhang family are not kind. This young master is quite pitiful."
"Why are you pitying me? You don't know what the Zhang family did. During the famine, they raised grain prices everywhere and took the opportunity to get the girls they liked to marry into the Zhang family. You can say they did all kinds of bad things. If the Wei family hadn't lent a hand and helped, they would have sold their grain at normal prices or even lower than usual. They also restricted the purchase to poor people like us, and set a daily limit on how much we could buy to help us get through it. Otherwise, who knows how many people would have died during the famine."
"I think he deserved it."
"Yes, yes, they don't deserve sympathy. The Wei family has become prosperous. Good people are rewarded."
"That's right, for a businessman to be so treacherous is truly despicable."
It was noisy all around.
This made Chu Ci remember who this person was and why he looked familiar to her.
Isn't this what happened when Wei Shu took her to the gambling house?
Is that the young master from the Zhang family who bet points with her?
She was still glamorous and beautiful at the time, sitting in the middle of a group of young men.
It can be said that the Zhang family’s business was very good at that time.
And now...
I haven't seen him for a few years. The Zhang family has fallen on hard times. Is this guy crazy?
"No, let me go, Chu Ci! Chu Ci!"
He held out his hand.
He also wanted to pounce on Chu Ci.
"Son, son."
After the boss of the Zhang family failed in business, he transferred the remaining assets that were not divided up to other fields.
Although it no longer has the glory it once had, it can still ensure food and clothing.
But the life I had before is definitely gone.
He is also much busier than usual.
I heard that my son ran away.
This is why he came here in a hurry.
I saw that the other party was at the door of Wei's house, making things difficult for the little girl.
Boss Zhang almost passed out.
He reached out and quickly grabbed his crazy son.
Pull him back.
"Go home and stop making trouble."
He spoke in a calm voice.
"Are you the parent of this lunatic? If you knew your son was crazy, you shouldn't have let him out to scare people. You haven't even apologized to the little girl yet? And now you're just leaving like that? You come from a wealthy family, and the rest of us are vying to send our children to school to teach them some etiquette. But you, don't you have any manners at all?"
I saw Boss Zhang and those servants dragging the young master of the Zhang family and trying to leave.
Someone nearby spoke in the crowd.
Said angrily.
