After coming out of Fang Mansion, Master Xia changed his previous gloomy face, strode with his head held high, and walked with a toad step with his pot belly bulging.
What Madam Fang said just now in the hall meant that the marriage between the two families was a done deal, but Fang Junyi was the younger brother and the second son after all, so he had to wait until his elder brother got married before the marriage could be arranged.
In order to reassure Mr. Xia, the Fang family also prepared a betrothal gift, which was carried by the Fang family servants and followed behind Mr. Xia.
Outside the door, the servant said respectfully, "Master Xia, please get in the carriage. We will follow behind."
But Master Xia waved his hand and said, "No need. I'm a little tired from riding in the carriage. I'll go with you."
"this..."
Although the servant felt that it was inappropriate, he had no choice but to go along with Master Xia's insistence.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess what Mr. Xia is thinking. Recently, the rumor in the town about how he desperately wanted to be associated with the Fang family but was despised by others is almost known to everyone. Today he finally turned the tables, but he didn't want to let everyone see it.
On the busy street, Mr. Xia walked with his hands behind his back and his belly bulging, while Dahei and Dazhuang led the Fang family members who were carrying the betrothal gifts.
In order to let everyone see, Master Xia not only took a long detour, but also wanted to walk around Qingyun City.
After finally arriving at the Xia family, the Fang family's servants were so tired that their arms were shaking.
Master Xia was happy and asked someone to put the betrothal gifts in the main hall. He also gave rewards to Dahei and Dazhuang and invited them to have some drinks.
Da Zhuang looked at the copper coins on his palm with a face full of curse words, but Da Hei handled it properly, thanked him and pulled Da Zhuang out.
The two of them could still hear Master Xia's wild laughter behind them even from a distance away.
In the shade, Da Zhuang weighed the copper coins in his hand and complained, "That's why they say there is no business without fraud. If you want to give me a tip, just give me a few copper coins."
"Snap"
"Dahei" slapped him on the back of the head and said, "You really think you are a servant of the Xia family? Are we here just to get a reward?"
Tiger Eye rubbed the back of his head in grievance and muttered, "Didn't you ask me to act more realistically? I got so into the role and I still got beaten."
"Dahei" Oh no, Ao Xi rolled his eyes at him, his eyes full of contempt.
To talk about how the two of them appeared in the Xia family, we have to start with the method used by Military Advisor Yuan.
That day, military advisor Yuan said that he had a way to let Ao Xi meet Su Man, but Ao Xi thought it was nonsense at the time.
He had been to the Fang Mansion a few years ago. Not to mention the strict security of the soldiers and servants, the terrain inside was so winding that anyone who didn't know the way would get dizzy in a few seconds, let alone find someone.
But Military Advisor Yuan said that since they couldn't get into the Fang Mansion, they might as well settle for the next best thing and attack the Xia Family.
They first hired someone to send thugs to rob Mr. Xia when he went out, and then asked Tiger Eye to act as a "hero to save the beauty".
People like Master Xia value their lives the most, so he immediately decided to recruit Da Zhuang, also known as Hu Yan, as a bodyguard to protect his safety.
What happened next was a natural progression. After Hu Yan went in, he recommended his brother, Ao Xi.
Not only that, in order to get Mr. Xia to go to the Fang Mansion earlier, they also spread rumors about the Xia family and the Fang family one after another. After a lot of operations, they finally met Su Man.
"Chief, we've seen the person, but we still don't know where the lady is being held captive. Isn't this all in vain?"
Ao Xi rolled his eyes at him, "Do you think my wife is like you? She has already told me."
"Huh? When and where?"
"South Garden."
"South Garden?"
Tiger Eyes was completely bewildered. "This bastard Fang is too outrageous. The Fang family is so big, yet he actually lets his wife sleep in the garden. His wife is not a dog."
"Snap"
Another slap, and Ao Xi cursed, "You are the dog!"
Hu Yan was beaten so hard that he saw stars and covered his head, not daring to speak.
Ao Xi was furious. If it weren't for the fact that Hu Yan was a foreigner and difficult to be recognized, he would never bring him out even if he was beaten to death.
After being beaten twice, Tiger Eyes spoke more cleverly. He covered the back of his head with both hands and asked, "Does the lady live in the South Garden?"
Ao Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "It's impossible for her to live here. Either she lives near the South Garden, or she will go to the South Garden."
"ah?"
Tiger Eyes was even more confused, "Then why didn't the lady just tell you which house she lived in?"
"Nonsense! There are at least forty or fifty rooms in the prefectural government mansion. If she tells me, I know where it is. After all, the South Garden is easier to find than the house. And since she told me about the South Garden, she will definitely go there."
It was rare that Su Man could understand what he meant in a split second and convey the most error-free information in front of everyone.
As expected of his wife, hehe...
"What are you thinking about, Chief? Why are you laughing so... lasciviously..."
Tiger Eye said the last two words very quietly, but Ao Xi, who was in a good mood, ignored him.
It was not only because he knew Su Man's approximate location, but also because Su Man was willing to pass on the message to him and stand on the same side with him.
After Su Man left, he thought more than once whether the help Su Man offered was just a delaying tactic, and what she really wanted was to escape from him.
It's not that he doesn't believe Su Man, but the relationship between the two of them all started with a robbery, so it's natural for Su Man to want to escape.
He was sweating with fear before meeting Suman.
If Su Man and Fang Junyi reconciled, then after she discovered him, she could just reveal his identity directly.
Anyone captured by the Fang Mansion had a grudge against their Black Wind Village. He and Tiger Eye were weak and had come to their doorman, so even if he had great martial arts skills, he might not be able to escape.
