Lord Li glanced at the two of them cautiously, and felt that the Bai family jade pendant in his hand was a little hot.
The Bai family is a big merchant in the Jiangnan area. The famous Sihai Trading Company was founded by the Bai family. The Bai family has been doing business for generations. In Nanshao, the Bai family has existed for as long as the Sihai Trading Company was founded.
The twelfth young master was born in a branch of the Bai family. Unlike the other members of the Bai family, Bai Feng had an amazing business acumen. On the contrary, he liked to wield guns and sticks. However, due to the constraints of the Bai family rules, Bai Feng could not practice martial arts.
Think about it, the Bai family monopolizes the local economy. If the Bai family produces another talent who is good at politics or military affairs, then the Bai family will inevitably pose a threat to the current court.
Therefore, Bai Feng, who had amazing talent in martial arts, became a discarded child.
He was a marginal figure of the Bai family, and this was known to all those with some power in the Jiangnan area. Lord Li naturally knew that it was not worth it for him to spend too much energy to win over Bai Feng. It would be much easier to do business directly with the Bai family.
However, when he first met Bai Feng, he was still impressed by his aura. He did not exude the gentle demeanor of the elegant young master of the Bai family, but instead had a toughness to him.
Is this the difference between being a martial artist and being a businessman?
Lord Li secretly sighed in his heart that the identity of this young master of the Bai family was very questionable. However, he remained calm and smiled as he respectfully returned the jade pendant to Long Moshun.
Lord Li coughed lightly, and his shrewd eyes swept over Luo Xue Ning and Long Mo Xun before he said, "The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other. You two, there were many misunderstandings before, and I am sorry for causing you trouble. Come, come, follow me into the mansion, and I will entertain you well."
Long Mosun pretended not to notice Lord Li's goodwill. He glanced at Lord Li indifferently and walked past him and went out first. Luo Xuening followed closely behind him. Naturally, her eyes saw Lord Li behind Long Mosun, whose face was ashen with anger.
She raised her eyes slightly, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Next, they sat on the carriage that Lord Li had specially prepared for them, and moved into Lord Li's mansion under the cover of night.
Luo Xue Ning and Long Mosun were arranged to live in a separate courtyard. In front of the courtyard was the courtyard where Lord Li lived, and in the back was the martial arts training ground. Seeing the layout of the courtyard, Luo Xue Ning and Long Mosun smiled at each other. It really was full of surveillance implications.
However, when she walked into the courtyard and saw that Lord Li had only prepared one bedroom, Luo Xuening was stunned for two seconds and felt like crying but had no tears.
"Ah Xun, how about we try boxing?"
Luo Xue Ning clenched her fist and looked at Long Mosun with cunning eyes. Long Mosun raised his eyebrows slightly and asked leisurely.
"What are you doing with your fists?"
"The loser sleeps on the floor."
Luo Xuening pointed at the simple floor mat she had specially laid on the ground, her eyes bright and lively.
Long Moxun knew her thoughts too well, and with one sentence, he stopped all her fantasies: "No, if we sleep in separate beds, people will be suspicious."
"What do you suspect?"
Luo Xuening widened her eyes in dissatisfaction. She glanced outside and saw a furtive figure outside the door. The shadow was jumping on the window paper, and it was really haunting.
Luo Xue Ning finally realized that she should have refused to acknowledge that she and Long Moshun were husband and wife from the beginning. Now that she was on this man's pirate ship, she couldn't get off.
"snort."
Luo Xue Ning snorted coldly, pouted her lips in a rage, and rolled onto the bed obediently to go to sleep. A large quilt was used to divide the bed into two halves in the middle.
Looking at this obvious boundary between Chu and Han, Long Moxun just smiled helplessly.
He took off his heavy coat and got into bed lightly. Even through the quilt, he could see Luo Xuening's peaceful sleeping face. Long Moshun closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, outlining a beautiful arc.
At this time, Lord Li and his good-for-nothing son Li Cheng could no longer keep their cool.
"Dad, how could you bring those two people to our house? Do you know that they deliberately came to provoke me on the first day they appeared here? Who knows if they have ulterior motives? Let me tell you, Dad, you can't keep such people. Maybe they will sell you out at any time."
When Li Cheng heard that his father had personally taken out the two prisoners he had put in jail, he was immediately furious. He could not get angry at his father, so he could only brandish guns and sticks at his subordinates to calm his furious heart. But in the end, he was still indignant.
Lord Li was also doubting the identities of Long Moshun and Luo Xuening. If it was the other young masters of the Bai family who came out, he would still believe it. After all, the Bai family was doing business all over the world, so naturally they needed someone to go out and move around. But, which Bai Feng? He had heard that a young master of the Bai family had not been out for a long time. As soon as he came out, he ran towards their small town. Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
"Someone, go to the Bai family and ask them about the young master of the Bai family. If their story is inconsistent, subdue those two men immediately."
Lord Li has always been a cautious person. He does not want to offend the Bai family easily. However, if Youen dares to pretend to be the son of the Bai family, he will never show mercy.
In the land under his jurisdiction, he has always been known for his ruthlessness and cruelty, and no one has ever dared to disobey him. However, the arrival of these two people made him feel panic, so he naturally had to investigate their identities thoroughly.
Li Cheng got irritated for no reason when he saw his father was taking so long. He widened his eyes and shouted impatiently, "Dad, what are you looking for? Bai Feng hasn't been out for a long time. How could he suddenly show up? Besides, those two people are suspicious. If you keep them here, it will be a disaster. Get rid of them as soon as possible. Anyway, we have the final say in this place. Even if someone from the Bai family comes, can they really cause trouble for us?"
Li Cheng was used to being a tyrant in this place and had developed a fearless character. His shallow and ignorant words were inseparable from the environment in which he grew up.
He was used to being the emperor in this small place, so naturally he had no way of realizing how powerful the Bai family was. In other words, even if they were not members of the Bai family, these two people were not people that Lord Li and his son could afford to offend.
Lord Li glared at his son fiercely. As soon as he spoke, he exposed his flaws. He didn't know how such a person would live in the future without him.
"Shut up, do you think I don't know that you are the cause of this? If it weren't for you, who had the guts to cause trouble on the street and provoke the girl, those two people would not dare to come to our government office even if they were very brave."
Lord Li was very disappointed with his son. He looked at him with disappointment and said, "How dare you say that?"
As he spoke, he tapped Li Cheng's head with his four fingertips, his eyes filled with grief and indignation. How many times did he have to tell his son before he would realize the immensity of the world?
Li Cheng secretly glared at him in dissatisfaction, but he was filled with resentment in his heart. Why was it always his fault every time something went wrong? What on earth had he done wrong?
Li Cheng always felt resentful of his old master's partiality, but he dared not show his dissatisfaction in front of Lord Li.
Lord Li glared at Li Cheng fiercely and warned him earnestly.
"Remember, from today on, don't provoke those two people. Even if they come to provoke you, you have to hold it in."
Li Cheng gritted his teeth, obviously very dissatisfied with Lord Li's arrangement. Lord Li saw what he was thinking and said in a deep voice: "I will not treat you badly after I send these two away. But if you dare to cause trouble during this period of time, I will break your legs."
Li Cheng choked and lowered his head silently. The father and son looked towards the courtyard where the lights were turned off, and a fierce look flashed in their eyes.
