Chapter 321 Li Lanzhu Visits

As usual, a deer-calling banquet would be held on the second day after the announcement of the provincial examination results to entertain and encourage the new candidates.

Yu Erhu was a little worried that Liu Ge'er would be bullied at the banquet.

Liu Ge'er, on the other hand, was very calm: "Don't worry, Dad. I won't care no matter how difficult they are."

Xing Xing continued: "After all, they are grasshoppers in autumn, they can't jump for a few days."

Bo Ge'er and Liu Ge'er smiled mysteriously.

Yu Erhu was confused, but when he saw the other kids laughing, he started laughing too: "Okay, as long as you have a plan in mind."

Deer are chirping, eating wild apples. I have distinguished guests, playing the harp and the flute.

Liu Ge'er went to attend the Deer and Ming Banquet, while Bai Ge'er took Yu Erhu and Yu Sanbao to hang out at the branch of Yu's store in the provincial capital. Xingxing was bored at home, so she found a travel book and set up a recliner under the shade of a tree in the yard to read.

I had only read about ten pages when the maid in the yard came over and said that a girl named Li came to look for the eldest daughter.

Xingxing was still a little surprised, but guessed it was Li Lanzhu, so she asked the maid to bring her in.

It was Li Lanzhu's first time entering this courtyard. She kept looking around and muttered, "Why is it so small..."

Xing Xing was not annoyed and took Li Lanzhu into the house: "Sister Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Lanzhu coughed and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet! Congratulations to your third brother for getting the Liyuan title, that's amazing! ... Is your third brother going to the Luming Feast now?"

Xing Xing smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Li Lanzhu said: "Then your second brother..."

Xing Xing replied: "My second brother took my second and third uncles to the shop."

Li Lanzhu seemed a little disappointed, but also seemed relieved.

But knowing that there was no one else in the Yu family compound except Xing Xing, he seemed to be more relaxed.

Xingxing sat on the couch, and Li Lanzhu moved her butt and sat closer to her.

"I came here this time mainly to thank you for saving Wang Qian'er last time." Li Lanzhu said shyly, "...If it weren't for you, Wang Qian'er would have died in the Wang family."

As she spoke, Li Lanzhu took out a small brocade box from her bosom and pushed it towards Xingxing. "Here, I know your family is not short of money, but this is also a small gift from me. Take it."

Xing Xing opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Li Lanzhu arrogantly threw the small box directly into her arms: "You have to accept it even if you don't want to!"

"..."Okay, Xing Xing closed her mouth, took the brocade box from her arms and opened it. Inside was a round and full South Sea pearl, which looked very good.

Li Lanzhu pretended to be indifferent: "This pearl is not bad. Take it to your second brother and ask someone to make it into a piece of jewelry. It will look nice when you wear it."

"Thank you, Sister Li. I like it very much." Xingxing closed the brocade box, took the pearl, and smiled sweetly at Li Lanzhu.

Li Lanzhu was in a very good mood.

She moved her butt again, looked at Xingxing's face, and sat closer to her.

Xing Xing smiled and took Li Lanzhu's hand: "Sister Li, I forgot to ask, what's going on at the Wang family now?"

Yes, Xingxing kind of wants to hear some gossip!

Li Lanzhu was so overwhelmed by Xingxing's initiative to get close to her that fireworks were going off in her head!

"Well, it's nothing." Li Lanzhu tried hard to control her emotions, forced her lips to smile, and pretended to be calm. "After all, it's a scandal. If it gets out, the Wang family will lose face... I heard that the Wang family sent Wang Dongming away to study, and I also heard that Mrs. Wang suddenly fell ill and was sent to the family temple to pray..."

"That's it?" Xing Xing was a little surprised. "Wang Qian'er's family, didn't they pursue the matter?"

Not to mention that Madam Wang and Wang Dongming were having an affair, just the fact that these two were trying to murder Wang Qianer, how could they be let off so easily?

When this was mentioned, Li Lanzhu also looked a little angry: "... Wang Qianer's family accepted a sum of money from the Wang family, and this matter was forgotten. The family didn't care about it anymore, and I can't jump out and speak up for Wang Qianer. It makes me so angry!"

Xing Xing patted Li Lanzhu's hand and said, "Sister Li has good intentions, but since both families have decided to settle the matter privately, there is no point in us getting angry. Think about it, Wang Qian'er was so badly injured at the time, she almost died, but they still chose to settle the matter privately. Even if Sister Li gets hurt from anger, they won't care, right? So why should we bother?"

Li Lanzhu felt that Xingxing’s analysis was very correct!

She nodded involuntarily and felt that her relationship with Xingxing seemed to have become closer.

Li Lanzhu was a little dazed for a moment. It was hard for her to believe that she almost had a fight with Xingxing at the Xingyuan auction. Well, she admitted that she was the one who almost wanted to fight with Xingxing!

Thinking of this, Li Lanzhu felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, after Xingxing asked about the gossip about the Wang family, she changed the subject and Li Lanzhu's attention was quickly drawn back. The two chatted animatedly for most of the hour.

Later, Bo Ge'er came back. Li Lanzhu jumped up as if her butt was on fire, and left in a hurry with a red face.

Xingxing was still a little puzzled, but she didn't think much about it and just thought that Li Lanzhu had something urgent to do.

"Where are my second uncle and third uncle?" Xingxing asked curiously.

Bo Ge'er smiled and said, "Didn't grandma say before that she wanted to buy some land in the state capital? I have a manager there who knows a little about some of the land in the suburbs. I asked him to take my second and third uncles to visit there."

Xing Xing said "Oh", and then asked nervously: "... Speaking of which, second brother, the day after tomorrow is the day for the inspection of Laizhou City. Are the evidences you prepared enough?"

Bo Ge'er touched Xing Xing's little head and said, "Don't worry. I have checked the patrol officer. He is a man of integrity and honesty. The evidence in my hand is enough to put the Qin family to death three times."

What Bo Ge'er didn't say was that it wasn't just the Qin family.

The Fan family, which was related to the Qin family by marriage, and the Wang family, which had almost caused a loss of life before, both suffered bad consequences.

They are deeply rooted in the state and are the tyrants who dominate this state capital.

The patrol officer named Zhao is the sharp blade that is about to chop off this bully.

Liu Ge'er came back from the Luming Feast, his face clear and clear, and he didn't look upset. He just went to the study with Bo Ge'er and talked to him in a low voice for a long time.

During this period, Xingxing also went to deliver some snacks that she had made herself.

Xingxing was relieved to see that Liu Ge'er was doing fine.

She was worried that the shameless Qin Jingqian would embarrass Liu Ge'er at the Lu Ming Banquet.

So Xingxing has been praying silently in her heart. If Qin Jingqian wants to do something bad to embarrass her third brother at the Lu Ming Banquet, then just don't let him leave the house!

So - before Qin Jingqian went out, he didn't know what happened, but suddenly his foot slipped, and he rolled down the stone steps, spraining his ankle. Naturally, he couldn't go to the Lu Ming Banquet.
