Chapter 148



"I think he's been harassing a little girl, who must be married." The Minister of War smiled and shook his glass. "You don't know, this Xu Yong is a stickler. He's done a lot of ridiculous things. Once he molested the daughter of the Yude of the Right Spring Office, and got beaten by Yude. When he got home, Xu Guogong also beat him, but the old lady protected him. Xu Guogong was so angry and anxious that he couldn't do anything."

The Minister of War's words were so interesting that Lu Jiaxue couldn't help but turn his head to take a look. He immediately found that the person he was entangled with looked familiar. Wasn't this his adopted daughter Yi Ning...

He laughed and said, "He's in trouble this time. The one below is Wei Ling's daughter."

"Duke Ying?" The Minister of War also remembered. "I remember that Duke Ying's daughter just got married to Xu Wei's beloved disciple Luo Shenyuan."

"That's why I said he got into trouble this time." Lu Jiaxue put down his teacup, his attitude a little casual.

The Minister of War looked at him hesitantly and said, "Why don't you do anything about it? I think this kid might do something else if he gets carried away. This girl is married, and if her reputation is ruined..."

Lu Jiaxue said calmly, "I have to take care of it." He raised his hand slightly, and someone immediately came up, clasped their fists, and waited for his instructions.

"Take a few people down and follow them." Lu Jiaxue glanced at Luo Yining and Xu Yong.

The confidant immediately went downstairs with a few people from the Shenji Camp, while Lu Jiaxue continued to drink tea with the Minister of War.

Xu Yong led Yi Ning out of the backyard and slowly walked to her side. "Where is this girl from? I don't think I've seen her before."

Yi Ning glanced at him and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm married now. It's better for you to call me Madam. Otherwise, it would be too abrupt."

Xu Yong said, "I see the young lady is only fourteen or fifteen, so it would be rude to call her Madam. There's a private room in the attic of the restaurant next door, very secluded and with a great view. How about I treat the young lady to some food, anything she wants, and give her some gifts as well?"

"You don't want your jade pendant anymore?"

Xu Yong opened his folding fan and waved it, acting like a playboy. He said with a smile, "If the young lady accompanies me for dinner, I will give her the jade pendant as a gift."

He opened his hand, and the black jade lay in his palm. The jade was of excellent quality, indeed a fine piece of jade. "Tell me which family did you marry into, young lady. I love you dearly. If you are willing to follow me, you will surely enjoy endless wealth and glory. It will be much better than your previous husband's family."

Yi Ning sneered inwardly. He was infatuated with Xie Yun just now, and now he says he likes her? He's probably just trying to blackmail her. How can he like her or not? Even if he likes her, such a dissolute person should be beaten by his aunt! He smiled and said, "Mr. Xu is quite confident. I have no interest in the jade, and I have no interest in you either. Since Mr. Xu's jade is not lost, I won't accompany you."

After saying that, she turned and was about to leave. Xu Yong didn't expect her to be fooled. He then flicked his finger, and his guards rushed into the yard. He took another step forward: "Young lady, don't leave. I haven't finished speaking yet...." He reached out to grab Yining's hand, but Yining slapped him back. She was already in a bad mood, and coming up to her made her angry.

Xu Yong only felt that her slap was soft and did not hurt at all. Instead, he immediately grabbed her hand.

Seeing this, the girl screamed and tried to pull it out, but was surrounded by several guards.

Unable to break free, Yi Ning looked at him with a slight anger. The last time Shen Yu came, Yi Ning was sick and had no energy. This time, she was angry. Seeing that Xu Yong was even more stubborn, she was furious and kicked him. Xu Yong felt a sharp pain in his calf. His face changed immediately and he squeezed tighter: "You are so wild, you dare to kick me!"

Yi Ning sneered and suddenly took a few steps closer to him. Xu Yong was stunned, but was forced back a few steps by her. "Not only will I kick you, I will kick you again." Yi Ning said, and kicked him again. This time, she didn't hold back at all. Xu Yong was caught off guard and immediately stepped back, falling into the pool, splashing water everywhere.

Xu Yong was truly furious this time, his entire body dripping with sweat. He had no patience for wasting time with Yi Ning, so he said sullenly, "Hold her down!"

Several guards were about to attack, but Qingqu blocked them. He had just sent the little girl to tip off the enemy. Shen Lian and the others were waiting in the dark, and upon seeing the situation, they rushed forward and surrounded Luo Yining.

Xu Yongyuan just thought she was an ordinary lady, but looking at the scene, it turned out to be not the case at all!

Those guards were tall and clearly martial artists. Ordinary families couldn't afford to support them. This woman was definitely not ordinary, and certainly couldn't possibly be someone else's mistress. How could such a mistress exist?

Yi Ning slowly wiped the water off her hands with a handkerchief and looked at Xu Yong. "Mr. Xu, although my husband isn't born into a noble family, he's no easy target. Just now, you falsely accused me of taking your jade pendant. I meant to explain myself, but I never thought you would be so unreasonable and end up in such an embarrassing situation. I'd like to ask you, how much is your black jade pendant worth in silver?"

Xu Yong's face was sullen, fearing he'd hit a wall this time. He'd tried to stand up for a beautiful woman, but instead, he'd gotten himself into trouble. But he was a regular thug, and if he dared to flirt with the daughter of the Right Spring Palace Inspector, what else could he not dare to do? It was just that the other side was outnumbered, and he was actually at a disadvantage.

He then smiled and said, "Madam, you misunderstood. The black jade pendant is really missing, that's why I was worried." He spread out his hands, and the jade pendant was indeed not in his palm. "Look, madam, you haven't returned the jade pendant to me yet!"

Anyway, he just said that the jade pendant was missing. What can this girl do to him!

The girls were speechless after hearing this. How could this guy be so messed up!

Suddenly a voice sounded behind me.
