The next morning, Xiong Dianshi woke up from a hangover.

Seeing himself lying in a luxurious guest room, he was stunned for a moment before he remembered what was going on.

Last night, Captain Yu brought him to Wei Ji Xian by Furong Lake, where he tasted the most delicious dishes in the world. In addition, he finally saw hope of completing the mission, so he unknowingly drank a few more glasses with the old man, and the result was like this...

Thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Xiong Dianshi first looked around and found that there was no one else. Then he felt around and found that his clothes were all there. He heaved a sigh of relief and sat up with some regret.

Hearing the noise in the house, the maid who was guarding outside came in, helped Xiong Dianshi wash and dress, and then led him to the lotus viewing pavilion by the lake.

Yu Jiachang was sitting in the pavilion in high spirits. He stood up with a smile and invited him to have breakfast together.

At this time, the summer heat had gone, the lotus flowers in the lake were in full bloom, and the mountains were lush and green. The two enjoyed a hearty breakfast while enjoying the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.

After thanking Yu Jiazhang for his hospitality again, and seeing him serve tea, Xiong Dianshi could not help but ask, "Father, when are we leaving for the Duke's Mansion?"

"No hurry." Yu Jia took a sip of the Junshan Yinzhen in the cup, imitating his own son's pretending to be Boyi, and said slowly: "Brother, please sit down and wait for the Xu family to invite us over."

"Uh..." Xiong Dianshi thought to himself, it's only been one night, why did his tone become so loud again?

Yesterday he said he would bring himself to your house...

But Yu Jia Chang'an was sitting like a mountain, so he could only be patient and accompany him.

The two of them spent the whole morning leisurely like this.

Near noon, servants led several people to the outside of the pavilion. Among them was a guy with a bruised face and nose, who was particularly eye-catching.

As soon as he saw Xiong Dianshi and Wang Bantou standing behind him, the swollen-faced man fell to his knees and sobbed through his swollen lips:

"I was blind and neglected Master Xiong. I am here to apologize to Master Xiong..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself back and forth. His face was already ugly to begin with, and after a few slaps, it was completely unrecognizable.

Xiong Dianshi looked at him strangely for a long time, but couldn't recognize who he was.

A middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor next to him clasped his fists and said to him, "Are you Mr. Xiong from Kunshan?"

"I'm here." Xiong Dianshi turned his gaze towards the man and saw that he looked pampered, with an overbearing look on his face, yet also a flattering look, which made him look quite twisted.

Obviously, this was not his intention.

"I don't know who you are?"

"I am Xu Fu, the steward of the Duke of Wei's mansion." The man called Xu Fu pointed at the pig-headed man kneeling on the ground and said, "I am following the order of my master to escort this guard dog who has ruined the reputation of the Duke's mansion to apologize to you."

"Hiss..." Xiong Dianshi and Wang Bantou both took a deep breath.

I didn't expect that my own son had such great power. Even his old family who stayed in Nanjing could make the Duke of Wei send his housekeeper to apologize?

He asked the pig-headed third in disbelief, "Did you take over the letter at the beginning?"

"That's right." The man cried, "I was obsessed with money and lost my mind for a moment, causing the empress to fail in her mission. I deserve to die."

"Didn't I already give you money?" Seeing that his master was able to suppress the Duke, how could Wang Bantou not give the fallen dog a beating?

That's five taels of silver. Isn't it because of this expense that they are in such a predicament?

Pighead Sanmenzi had no choice but to explain in a hesitant manner that he always charged double the fees for outsiders like them who had no power or influence.

You have to pay once for receiving the letter, and again for delivering it.

"It's worthy of being Nanjing City. It's much darker than our small place Kunshan." Band leader Wang was stunned.

In fact, it's not that he hadn't thought about this, but the five of them were already so poor that they had to eat five-nut mooncakes, so how could they have the money to buy more?

So the letter that Zhao Hao wrote to Duke Wei had to be thrown into the doorman's wastebasket.

"Everything that goes wrong is this guy's fault."

Seeing that the other party was full of resentment, Xu Fu waved his hand and said, "Beat them hard until you two calm down!"

The lavishly dressed slaves he brought with him pinned the man to the ground and started beating him with sticks.

Pa pa pa pa, amid the cries of his parents, Xu Fu had another plate of silver ingots presented.

"I am sorry for wasting your time due to my fault. I am offering this small gift as a token of my apology."

"I am just running errands." In front of Yu Jiazhang, Xiong Dianshi dared not accept his money, so he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you waste our time. It is you who delayed our young master's business. This is not something you and I can negotiate."

Yu Jiachang couldn't help but smile secretly, this Xiong Dianshi was quite sensible, yesterday he was 'your young master', today he became 'our young master'.

"Don't worry, sir. My apology is one of the reasons. I'm also here on behalf of the master to invite you and Mr. Yu to come over for a chat." Xu Fu said hurriedly.

Xiong Dianshi couldn't help but look at Yu Jiachang. How could he not know that it was he who had done this? He suddenly felt that this old man was unfathomable and completely unpredictable.

He would naturally follow the other party's lead. "What do you think, old man?"

"Haha, I won't go." Yu Jiachang sat there motionless. "Brother, just go with him without worry. I don't think they dare to play any tricks."

"Of course. My master has admired your young master for a long time. What happened today was just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding." Xu Fu only knew that he had to invite someone to his house, and he didn't know what was written in the letter.

"Get this man out of here quickly and don't let him dirty my young master's place." Yu Jiachang glanced at the doorman who was beaten to pieces.

~~

The West Garden of Duke Wei's Mansion.

The young master finally had a good sleep.

If he knew that this was his last chance to sleep in at home, I wonder if he would choose to sleep a little longer or get up early and do something more meaningful.

For example, on this big bed that can accommodate twelve people, we can play a multiplayer sport like Eagle Catches Chicken...

Unexpectedly, at this time, my father's long-time attendant Xu An came to spoil the fun.

"Young Master, the Master is calling you to come over quickly!" Xu An couldn't wait for the maid to go upstairs to report, and he shouted at the top of his voice downstairs.

"Oh..." Xu Bangning sighed depressedly, struggled out from the pile of cosmetics, asked his concubine to help him wash up quickly, and went downstairs to see Xu An who was in a panic.

"What's going on? You're calling me like a ghost."

"Master Ma from the Censorate came again. I don't know what he said to the Duke, but he got furious and asked the butler to take the doorman away and take him out to apologize." Xu An wiped his sweat and said anxiously, "The Duke asked me to ask you to come over quickly."

"Oh?" Xu Bangning asked in confusion, "What has the man done wrong? How can it be related to me?"

"I don't know either, but the master is very angry, so you'd better be careful." After Xu An finished speaking, he turned sideways and stretched out his hand to signal Xu Bangning to stop hesitating.

The young master always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

It was not until he walked to the outside of the Yuanyang Hall in the main courtyard that he suddenly realized that this was the same situation as when he was tricked by the kid named Zhao last year.

His heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly, "Xu An, is it Kunshan who is here?"

Unexpectedly, Xu An did not say a word. Instead, he reached out and pushed him from behind, causing the young master to stagger into the hall, and then said loudly:.

"Xu Bangning is here!"
