The two jugs of wine on the main table made many villagers envious.
But it's just something I envy.
Zhao Laosan's family consisted of six brothers, making them the largest family in the village.
Basically, no one dares to offend them, except for the Ye family, the local landlords.
Just as all the villagers were enjoying their meal, a discordant voice rang out.
"Oh my, whose family is having a banquet?"
Pan Jinlian walked over with a cloth bag in her hand, swaying her hips, her face full of arrogance.
Behind her, Pan Tiantian, blushing, nestled in the arms of Ye Liangchen, the eldest son of the Ye family.
When they arrived, they happened to run into the eldest son of the Ye family, who was out riding his horse for a stroll.
The eldest son of the Ye family took a liking to Pan Tiantian at first sight.
He was about to go up and flirt with her, but after making a slight move, he made Pan Tiantian want to repay him with her body.
Ye Liangchen certainly looked down on these rural peasant women, but since the maids in his household ate too much, they occasionally needed some wild vegetables to whet their appetites.
He only intended to have some fun with her, give her the title of a concubine, and then give her away to someone else when he got tired of her.
It just so happens to be the old man's fiftieth birthday. After I've had my fun a few times, I'll send this flirtatious woman over.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if father and son could travel together then?
Pan Jinlian and her daughter were naturally unaware of his thoughts; they both thought their luck had turned around and they had met such a wealthy and eligible husband.
Relying on the servants behind Ye Liangchen, Pan Jinlian was a little smug. Even though Zhao Hu was dressed in official robes, she was only surprised for a moment, and then said sarcastically, "Isn't this Hu Zi? How come you don't even recognize your own relatives after making some money outside?"
"Yes, there is. I was thinking of sending someone to call my uncle and aunt to come over for dinner, but I heard that my aunt was asleep, so I didn't want to disturb her."
Zhao Hu drank a few cups of wine, his face flushed slightly, and looked at his aunt with a calm expression.
"Heh, at least he has some conscience."
Pan Jinlian took the cloth bag and threw it over: "Zhao Laosan, your father doesn't want to live in my house and wants to come and enjoy the good life with your son, so I'm not being unreasonable."
"Consider this bag of grain as your father's support fee. You must keep an eye on him from now on and make sure he doesn't starve to death, or he'll have to come to my house to borrow grain again."
Pan Jinlian looked at Old Man Zhao with disdain: "But you probably won't be able to find my house anymore, because my sweetie is going to become the lady of the Ye family."
After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed hysterically.
The villagers frowned at the sound of laughter.
They looked at Pan Jinlian, then at Zhao Hu, and then thought about the dinner they had for dinner that night. They all stood behind their own family members.
After all, Tiger is making money and living a successful life outside, but he also knows how to be filial to his parents at home.
And this bastard, before he's even made it big, he's already looking down on people.
Zhao Hu weighed the cloth bag in his hand and sensed something was wrong. He opened it and found it full of sand, with only a little bit of old rice sticking out.
Looking at the cloth bag, he smiled and shook his head, then threw it back: "Auntie, you should eat this yourselves. Grandpa and my family will raise them from now on. As for the Ye family's door, it might really be gone in a few days."
The cloth bag was thrown at Ye Liangchen's feet, making him unable to help but look up to see who was so arrogant.
When Ye Liangchen saw the clothes on Zhao Hu's body, his eyes showed some contempt.
They were just members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
His Ye family has recently climbed the social ladder by getting close to the Yan family. Although he hasn't met the legendary Lord Yan, he has already made contact. He, Ye Liangchen, doesn't even consider a mere Imperial Guard a threat.
However, he was also a little puzzled. When did the Embroidered Uniform Guard's clothes change? They always felt somewhat different.
Hearing this, Pan Jinlian was so angry that her teeth itched. She picked up the cloth bag from the ground and prepared to turn around and leave.
Because she still had some sense, although her daughter had married into the Ye family, she hadn't officially entered the family yet, so she didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Once she's married into the Ye family and becomes Mrs. Ye, she'll come back and settle accounts with them.
Pan Jinlian thought this way, but Pan Tiantian didn't.
She nestled against Ye Liangchen like a little bird, her gaze towards her cousin filled with malice.
She can live well, but she won't allow others to live as well as she does.
"Brother Liangchen, look, someone is bullying my mother and me. They are so scary, it makes me so afraid."
Pan Tiantian, using a high-pitched voice, coaxed the eldest son of the Ye family.
After being brushed against her chest twice, Ye Liangchen felt a surge of lust and felt a slight tingling sensation, as a sign of respect.
He unfolded the fan in his hand and shook it twice: "What a big mouth you have! You think you're worthy to visit the Ye family's gate with just a lowly Imperial Guard?"
Zhao Hu looked at the eldest son of the Ye family and shook his head: "I don't know if he's worthy or not, but I do know that you're about to face a great calamity, Young Master Ye."
Last night, his former superior from the Embroidered Uniform Guard sent someone to inform him that the Ye family, who lived near Zhao Family Village, was involved, and asked if he knew them and if he needed leniency.
Zhao Hu said at the time that he did not know them and was not familiar with them, and that they should handle it themselves.
Hearing his words, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard dared to continue the investigation.
After all, Zhao Hu's status is different now; he is a capable general under the Marquis and also a student of the Immortal's disciple.
Even Wang Zhongxian wouldn't dare to underestimate him because of his identity.
Let alone a mere centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
But the eldest son of the Ye family didn't know that. When he heard this, he felt he had lost face and glared fiercely at Zhao Hu.
"Do you know that I am Ye Liangchen, the eldest son of the Ye family?"
"Liangchen, I never make empty promises. I'm not afraid to tell you, my Ye family has recently gotten in touch with Prime Minister Yan Song."
“Now that you’re in the capital, as a mere member of the Imperial Guard, I, Liang Chen, have a hundred ways to make sure you can’t stay here.”
Zhao Hu, leaning on his knife, looked at the eldest son of the Ye family, smiling without saying a word.
His attitude angered Ye Liangchen: "If you feel you have some ability, Liangchen doesn't mind playing with you."
"But remember, Liangchen is not someone you can afford to offend."
"The Yan family is a powerful clan in the capital, capable of stirring up bloodshed with a mere stomp of their foot. Therefore, Liangchen advises you to think twice before you act."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu's smile became somewhat helpless.
That's absolutely true. The Yan family's stomp of their foot really stirred up a bloody storm.
However, this blood rain was shed by the Yan family.
The fact that the Yan family suffered heavy losses was just a convenient excuse for themselves.
The other villagers were frightened by Ye Liangchen's words. Zhao Laosi whispered to Zhao Hu, "Huzi, why don't we admit our mistake?"
Zhao Hu waved his hand dismissively, gripping his embroidered spring knife, and said, "Young Master Ye, I just got home today. While I'm in a good mood, you should hurry back."
