Chapter 219 The transaction is completed
Another said, "A few days ago, Miss Wang accidentally bumped into me. I just said I didn't mean it, but she took me back to the palace and beat me up. My wounds haven't healed yet. Every day the pain is so severe that I can't practice. I don't know if I will become a mortal like this fellow Taoist."
Gu Yue said: "Yesterday, my friends and I went to the forest and met Miss Wang. She and her friends were surrounding a unicorn. They asked us to help, and the unicorn ran away.
She wanted us to pay compensation, but how could we, a poor, independent cultivator, afford it? In the end, she was taken back to the palace. She didn't beat us, but she made us laugh along the way and wasted half a day. It scared us so much that our realm was unstable.
Wang Xiaozhong gave Gu Yue a thumbs up in his heart and spoke with confidence, and there was no sign of falsehood in his words.
After listening to this, Patriarch Wang felt that this female cultivator was most likely trying to trick him. He knew that Dongfeng Lingshuang was there yesterday, and since she released that group of people, she must have had her reasons. He just wanted to finish these things, so he did not refute Gu Yue's words.
Wang Chenhao also knew what happened yesterday, but he didn't say anything. Wang Chenhui and Wang Xiaozhong would say nothing even less.
Patriarch Wang still asked them to sit down and talk, and the three of them did not dare to act too aggressively.
When Gu Yue sat down, she saw Wang Xiaozhong and two other men sitting opposite her.
Talking about compensation, the Wang family is willing to compensate the injured cultivators with healing pills and spirit stones. As for those who can no longer practice, different amounts of spirit stones will be compensated according to their cultivation level.
The compensation was negotiated between Wang's second master and Gu Yue after several rounds of negotiation. After all the details were agreed upon, Gu Yue saw Wang Xiaozhong winking at her.
She said indignantly, "I wonder how the Wang family head will punish Miss Wang, the culprit? If she isn't taught a lesson, there will be no peace in Qingwu City in the future, and she will ruin the reputation of your Wang family."
Wang Chenhao looked at the Patriarch and said nothing. This matter required the Patriarch to make the decision.
The head of the Wang family always keeps his word. When he heard Gu Yue say this, his face darkened.
"We will naturally teach her a lesson. With this compensation standard, if something similar happens in the future, you can come to the Wang family to ask for compensation."
Gu Yue glanced at Wang Xiaozhong implicitly, indicating that she was powerless to do anything about what happened next and it all depended on him.
She flinched in mock timidity.
Finally, the three of them retreated to get compensation. Butler Wang accompanied them to the gate of the mansion and announced the amount of compensation. The monks were all excited.
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Get Wang Xiaoting out of Qingwu City!"
Then someone shouted again, and then more people shouted together.
Steward Wang stood at the gate of the mansion. He raised his hand and a wave of pressure surged over like a tide, pressing down on everyone's shoulders. Those with lower cultivation were already forced to their knees.
"The Patriarch knows how to deal with the young lady, so there's no need to rush. I'll report your opinion to the Patriarch. All of you can disperse!"
As he said this, he removed the pressure. Steward Wang muttered to himself: "People are always greedy. As long as they get something, they think they will get more benefits. They don't know when to stop."
Gu Yue and the others took the compensation and returned to the inn, where they met Wang Xiaofan.
Gu Yue said: "We have done everything that Master Wang asked. It's time to give us the balance. We will leave Qingwu City today."
Wang Xiaofan communicated with Wang Xiaozhong using the jade slip for a while, then he took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to Gu Yue. As usual, Nie Zhou took it, examined it, and nodded.
Gu Yue said to Wang Xiaofan, "The deal between your master and I is complete. We have no further ties. You should leave quickly and don't let anyone see you meeting us."
Wang Xiaofan left on his own. He always stayed by the eldest master's side, but this time he had not been with the eldest master since last night. If he didn't go back, it would arouse suspicion.
Back at Wang's house, Wang Xiaofan quietly stood behind Wang Xiaozhong and looked around.
I found that not only the head of the family was there, but also the eldest and second uncles were there.
Patriarch Wang looked at the Second Master and asked, "What are you going to do with Xiaoting?"
Wang Chenhao said, "Her share will be reduced by half, and someone will be hired to teach her some lessons on how to handle things."
Wang Chenhui said, "This punishment is not painful at all. It's not that I'm being harsh, but if I don't punish her more severely, Xiaoting won't learn her lesson. I'm bringing this up for her own good."
Wang Chenhao knew he was in the wrong and didn't know what to say. He looked at the head of the family and asked him to make the decision.
At this time, Dongfeng Lingshuang and Wang Xiaoting walked in and they bowed to each other.
When the patriarch saw the mother and daughter, he thought Dongfeng Lingshuang was indeed a noble lady from an aristocratic family. As the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, she not only handled everything she managed impeccably, but also maintained her cultivation. The patriarch of the Wang family liked cultivators with ambition.
"Ling Shuang, sit down first."
The implication is that Wang Xiaoting is standing.
Dongfeng Lingshuang looked at Wang Xiaoting and patted her hands soothingly. Wang Xiaoting looked at her mother anxiously. She knew what her mother meant, so she suppressed her anxiety and stood in the middle of the main hall.
At this time, Zhou Zhimei walked in with Wang Xiaorong and Wang Xiaofu.
The head of the family looked at them and wondered what this mother and daughter were doing here.
Wang Xiaorong is Wang Chenhui's concubine's daughter, the second in the family. Although she is called the second lady in the Wang family, her share is far less than that of the legitimate daughter. She is also precocious and has been following her legitimate mother since early on, getting close to her and obeying her orders.
She was only a year younger than Xiaoting, and they usually played together. It was her who first prompted Xiaoting to bring someone back and beat them up. She hadn't wanted to come to the main hall today because she felt guilty, but she had to listen to her mother.
They bowed and sat down aside.
Zhou Zhimei already knew what had happened in the main hall. Now that the incident had already started, she couldn't let it end in a whimper. She glanced at Wang Xiaozhong and sat down quietly.
Wang Xiaorong sat down with her mother. She looked at Wang Xiaoting who was standing in the middle of the main hall with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
Wang Xiaoting understood the look in her eyes, and just as she was about to burst into anger, she glanced at Dongfeng Lingshuang and saw her mother nodding at her, as if praising her for a good job. She realized with a start that she had nearly burst into a rage.
If you behave improperly in the main hall, the head of the family will punish you even more severely.
She glared at Xiaorong fiercely. Xiaorong was usually well-behaved and obedient in front of her. She didn't understand why she looked at her like that today. Did she change her attitude towards her because she was about to be punished?
Zhou Zhimei saw that Xiaoting's temper was about to be aroused, and she was happy inside, but she didn't expect that it would be suppressed again the next second. She suddenly felt bored and looked at Xiaorong gloomily.
Wang Xiaorong was frightened by what she saw. Knowing that she had not done her job well, she had to find another opportunity and try again.
