After admitting her mistake, Qiao Xin began to act like an elder and scold people. She couldn't teach the guards of the Fan family a lesson, but she could still teach her own adopted son a lesson.
She crossed her arms over her chest and examined Heng Wen. "Look at how you looked just now. You're no different from a bandit. You even kicked the door down. Fix it before you leave."
Everyone knew that their actions just now were a bit extreme. They usually did this when arresting criminals. It was a subconscious action. They thought it was no big deal, but no one dared to refute this in front of the old lady. Didn't they see that their second master bowed his head and admitted his mistakes? Could they be more stubborn than the second master?
Heng Wen struggled to explain, "We saw so much blood on the road and were worried that something might have happened to you. That's why we got anxious. I'll find someone to deal with it later."
How could the father-in-law dare to ask them to do the repairs? It was obvious that they were not people they could afford to offend, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I can just order a few branches myself, no need to trouble you, young man."
"That won't do. Let him repair it so he can learn his lesson. But you guys came at the right time. We just encountered a pack of wolves entering the village. Let's stay here and help transport the wolves back to the city for disposal."
After hearing what Qiao Xin said, people in the know looked at her speechlessly: How many do you want to leave behind? You're just short of going straight to the wolf's den and exterminating the entire clan, Lele, okay?
Qiao Xin had them taken to the yard where the wolf's body was placed, and then went to do other things.
Fan Jihuai and Heng Wen looked at the corpses on the ground in shock and were speechless.
Wang Da Kui smiled innocently, "We are discussing taking it to the city to see how much supplies we can exchange. A lower price is also fine."
Heng Wen and Fan Jihuai had no time to listen to what he said. They noticed at first glance that, apart from the messy wounds on a few bodies, two-thirds of the bodies had either been cut in the throat by a sword or had a big hole between their eyebrows. The wolf king was killed by a single blow to the neck, and all the bones in his body were broken.
Who on earth can shoot arrows so accurately? Even the archers in the army can’t be so accurate, right?
"Who is this archer? Can we meet him?" Fan Jihuai asked expectantly. He must recruit such a person to the Fan family.
Wang Dagui looked at them in confusion. "Those were all shot by Aunt Qiao. She was the one who threw the wolf king to death. The ones with badly damaged fur were killed by other hunters in our village. If the heroine hadn't happened to come and buy a house today, our village would have been a river of blood and no one would be alive."
Heng Wen was startled, "Female hero?"
"Yes, isn't that your mother?" Wang Da Kui said, looking at Heng Wen with disdain: "Are you the heroine's biological son? You don't even know how capable your mother is?"
Heng Wen touched his nose and thought to himself: He is not his biological son, so he really doesn't know! But now that he knows, Juchang added, is Mrs. Qiao willing to pass this skill on to her "son?"
Fan Jihuai had the same idea. After hearing that the other person was Qiao Xin, he felt a little regretful. He couldn't recruit this person! Could he also recognize a godmother or something so that he could learn some skills?
After they had finished looking at the prey, Qiao Xin dragged Heng Wen to see the house she had chosen. She said happily, "How is it? This place is spacious enough. Let me show you around first. Don't go to the wrong place when you come back next time!"
Heng Wen looked at Qiao Xin in astonishment and murmured, "Can I still live here?"
Qiao Xin looked at him with a half-smile, "Oh, you're turning your back on me before I even leave? Are all you young masters like this? Are you afraid that our poor family will depend on you?"
Heng Wen begged for mercy in a low voice, like a child who had said something wrong, "Auntie knows that's not what I meant, how could I have such an ungrateful thought? Auntie, I will never forget your life-saving grace. My second brother talked to me before I left, and it's time for me to leave. My future is uncertain, and I don't know if we can meet again in the future."
"What depressing words are you saying? How old are you? You still have a long life ahead of you! The second brother didn't lie to you. I did tell him privately that the weather will change suddenly in the future. With such a big thing happening, it's even more unsafe for you to stay outside the palace for a long time. Dingbian Hou's intelligence is not that bad, right? It's been more than a month and he still can't find his son's whereabouts?
If he doesn't send anyone again, I hope you'll give up your fantasy and prepare well! Never give up on yourself, think more about the people you care about. Then there will be nothing you can't see through!"
Qiao Xin didn't want to say it so bluntly, but the situation in the Marquis' Mansion was turbulent right now, and Heng Wen could no longer be naive, otherwise he might die at any time!
She knew that the child had not left because he still had a beautiful fantasy in his heart and did not want to break the illusion that had lasted for more than ten years. But these were harmful to people like Heng Wen. The sooner he saw the reality and grew up, the faster he could build up his own power to fight against the enemy!
Qiao Xin didn't want him to be too sad, so she comforted him in a gentle voice, "Okay, maybe things aren't that bad. Your dad might really be stuck with something and can't come to you for the time being.
I have no other intention in telling you this, I am just putting myself in your shoes. As a mother, I hope all is well for my child. Although our social statuses are very different, I am afraid we will never see each other again. But if you still remember me and want to come back to visit me in the future, I welcome you anytime, and I can reserve a guest room for you. "
"Then why don't you leave a separate bedroom for Yun Heng!"
Qiao Xin looked at them in surprise, and saw that he had no intention of joking. After a slight hesitation, he readily agreed: "Okay!" Hearing this, Heng Wen opened his eyes and looked straight at Qiao Xin, with the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and he was a little embarrassed.
He tilted his head uncomfortably and walked out, "I'll go see if they're done."
Looking at his figure walking away, she sighed helplessly: "You are relieved, little bastard, but I will have to take care of so many things in the future!" Forget it, forget it, raising one sheep is the same as raising a flock of sheep.
When Qiao Xin and his group returned to Weizhou City, it was almost dark. However, the five ox carts loaded with prey entered so carelessly, still causing quite a stir.
Qiao Xin bid farewell to the people from Fangya, and took Heng Wen and Li Zhong, Wang Da Kui, and Fan Jihuai who came with them, and they separated one mile away from the city gate.
