As soon as Shen Yunsheng and his wife left Dahe Village, Granny Yang rushed into the east wing to find Xiao Wenjing and added fuel to the fire, saying, "Son! Your wife is going to cause a big disaster. Li Dashan's matter was already a thorny issue, and she actually dared to accompany Li Dashan to see Master Huang."
Xiao Wenjing frowned slightly. His son and his wife had come back before, but they hadn't mentioned that they were going to the Huang family!
"Mother, did you hear me wrong? I know how capable Chuan'er and his wife are. They would never do anything foolish."
Granny Yang sneered, "Son, you've been deceived by them. I saw with my own eyes that the couple left with Li Dashan, and Hongyu and Xiang Shi went too."
Xiao Wenjing understood his mother's meaning; they were just ordinary people, how could they dare to provoke Master Huang?
"Mother, please don't worry. Chuan'er is an adult and should know his limits."
Xiao Wenjing was also very worried. He knew that Li Dashan's matter was indeed not simple, and if it was not handled properly, it could bring big trouble to his family.
"Mother, has Chuan'er told you why they are helping Li Dashan?"
Granny Yang shook her head. "He would never tell me something like this. You should go and see for yourself."
After saying that, Granny Yang added, "By the way, maybe your wife knows. You can ask her."
Xiao Wenjing nodded and planned to go to the kitchen to find his wife.
Granny Yang chuckled to herself. She glanced at her eldest son and said, "Son! I'm doing this for your own good. If Jingchuan's family offends Master Huang, you'll lose your job as a lumberjack."
Xiao Wenjing was also puzzled. Why were his son and wife accompanying Li Dashan to find Master Huang? Could it be that, as his mother said, they had gotten themselves into serious trouble?
Seeing her eldest son's pale face, Granny Yang said, "Son, it's not that I like to sow discord, but if Jingchuan and his wife offend Master Huang, our Xiao family will be finished."
Just as Xiao Wenjing was about to go find his wife, Luo picked up her vegetable basket and went back to the east wing.
Xiao Wenjing hesitated for a moment before asking, "Wife, why did Chuan'er and the others accompany Li Dashan to find Master Huang?"
Seeing her mother-in-law's gloating expression, Luo felt secretly worried. After a moment of thought, she said to her husband, "Honey, it's only right for neighbors to help each other out. You shouldn't interfere anymore."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenjing felt a sense of helplessness.
He knew his son's personality; he definitely couldn't stand such things.
But how could they easily provoke Master Huang?
Xiao Wenjing remained silent for a moment, then said worriedly, "My dear wife, I know Chuan'er is kind, but we are just ordinary people. We can't afford to offend Master Huang. What will we do if something happens?"
Madam Luo comforted her, "Don't worry. Chuan'er and the others are all adults now, they'll handle it carefully. Besides, Hongyu and Xiangshi are with you, nothing will happen."
Granny Yang sneered coldly, "Wenjing's wife, you are too stupid. Jingchuan and his wife are making a fool of themselves, and you are making a fool of yourself too. You better pray that nothing bad happens to you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenjing became even more agitated.
He felt that his daughter-in-law was a troublemaker who didn't care about the family at all. What was most hateful was that his son was henpecked and listened to his wife in everything.
“Wenjing’s family, I advise you to tell the truth quickly, don’t treat us like fools.”
Granny Yang glared fiercely at Madam Luo, wishing her eldest son would slap her a few times to vent her anger.
Xiao Wenjing turned and left without a word, his face grim. He decided to go to the Huang family himself to see if he could find his son and daughter-in-law.
Meanwhile, after walking for more than half an hour, Shen Yunsheng and his group finally arrived at the Huang family.
Li Dashan stood nervously at the door, while Shen Yunsheng calmly knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a servant-looking man poked his head out, asking impatiently, "Who are you looking for?"
Shen Yunsheng smiled and said, "We would like to see Master Huang; we have important matters to discuss."
The servant looked him up and down, then coldly refused, saying, "Our master is very busy and has no time to see commoners like you."
Shen Yunsheng did not back down. Just as she was about to bribe the servant with silver, Xiao Jingchuan took out the Flowing Light Illusion Ring he always carried and handed it to the servant.
"Please give this ring to Master Huang. He will see us after he has seen it."
The servant took the ring, closed the door, and went inside. After a while, he opened the door again, his attitude becoming respectful. "Please come in, gentlemen. Our master has agreed to see you."
Shen Yunsheng looked at Xiao Jingchuan in surprise, her heart filled with doubt and curiosity. She couldn't understand why Xiao Jingchuan could persuade the arrogant and rude Master Huang to agree to meet them with just a wooden ring engraved with mysterious symbols. What secret was hidden behind this?
After hearing his wife's heartfelt words, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but secretly lament his predicament.
He knew he had to find a way to explain the problem clearly, otherwise it would cause more unnecessary trouble.
So he took a deep breath and, trying to appear calm, said to Shen Yunsheng, "My lady, this ring was actually given to me by my master. The symbol engraved on it is my master's family crest. When Master Huang saw this ring, he knew that my identity was not simple, so he naturally dared not be negligent."
Shen Yunsheng nodded with some skepticism, but deep down she still felt that things weren't so simple. However, since her husband had already explained, she couldn't press him further and could only put her doubts aside for the time being.
As soon as Shen Yunsheng and his wife entered the courtyard, they saw Master Huang walk out of the garden, walk up to Xiao Jingchuan with a smile, and greet him.
"This old man has met Young Master Xiao."
"Greetings, Master Huang." Xiao Jingchuan clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Master Huang.
Seeing that Master Huang treated Xiao Jingchuan with utmost respect, Li Dashan was secretly pleased. He thought to himself that as long as Xiao Jingchuan was willing to help, his problem would definitely be solved.
Shen Yunsheng, who was standing to the side, was also surprised. Her intuition told her that her cheap husband was probably a big shot in disguise.
Before she could react, Master Huang warmly invited them into the flower hall and to take their seats.
During the pleasantries, Master Huang returned the ring to Xiao Jingchuan and inquired about its origin. Xiao Jingchuan explained the ring's history to his wife, just as he had previously told her.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Master Huang's eyes, but he quickly regained his smile. He had already decided in his heart that Xiao Jingchuan was Qingyu Gongzi's disciple. This Qingyu Gongzi was not only the number one master in the world with unparalleled skills, but also the right-hand man of Longhai's richest man. Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he would not dare to offend Xiao Jingchuan.
"Young Master Xiao, may I ask what brings you here today?"
"I came to see you today mainly about Uncle Dashan." Xiao Jingchuan glanced at Master Huang and then brought up Li Dashan.
