Later, I stopped seeing him. I asked you, and you said he wasn't competent and you didn't want him anymore.
"Does Mother know how he lost his front tooth?" Mu Rongjing asked with a smile.
"No way, it really was that young lady who did it?" Princess Fenglin was skeptical. Those who could serve by her son's side were all quite skilled in martial arts.
"It was she who hit him, not with her fist, not with a weapon, but with a small piece of the bone from the wild game she was eating, quite a distance away. However, Fu Gang isn't entirely innocent; it's his fault for being so outspoken and saying such hurtful things." After saying this, Mu Rongjing looked at her mother's expression and thought to herself, "Surely this should dispel any lingering suspicions my mother might have!"
Feeling regretful, feeling sorry for them? That's right! Mu Rongjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"So talented at such a young age? It's a pity I didn't get to see it with my own eyes." Princess Fenglin's words were quite regretful, which dampened Murong Jing's spirits. So all his talk had been for nothing?
While Mu Rongjing was dealing with the princess's mother, Hong Xiaoduo in the Wei residence was a little confused when she saw the few gold notes that Hua Shi had placed in her hand.
She knew that the Wei family would make a gesture afterward, but she didn't intend to accept it. Kaiyang was one of her own, and she was sending her own person back to his family. Why would she ask for a reward or any benefits?
Besides, the thousand taels of gold she had asked for had already been delivered, so of course she was going to keep it; she had already folded it and put it in her purse.
She also knew that Kaiyang's mother, Hua, came from a wealthy family, but no matter how rich they were, it was still theirs.
Initially, she was penniless, but she received donations from all who came, and the more the better.
If you encounter bandits or kidnappers, after dealing with them, you'll also loot their territory, leaving no copper coin behind.
But things are different now; she now has substantial savings.
“I appreciate your kind intentions, but I cannot accept this,” Hong Xiaoduo said.
"Xiaoduo, your secret technique for identifying blood relatives, doesn't it hurt your heart and shorten your lifespan every time you do it? But because of our family's affairs, you have had to do it several times."
"These won't compensate for the lifespan you've lost, but at least they can buy you some nourishing medicinal herbs. So, it's not much, please accept them." Wei Junpei said.
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo chuckled: "Making that identification technique is a bit mentally taxing. I'll recover after a good night's sleep, but it won't shorten my lifespan."
"Wasn't it you who said that night?" Wei Junpei blurted out, then suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Hong Xiaoduo in disbelief. Could it be?
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and nodded. "Yes, think boldly. That's exactly what you're thinking. I'm just looking at that person's identity. Why not take advantage of him?"
Wei Junpei looked at Hong Xiaoduo with a complicated expression, pointing at her with his finger.
Nevertheless, Wei Junpei insisted that Hong Xiaoduo accept the gold notes, saying that it wasn't really for her, as he still had to support Tian Shu and the other six children.
Seeing their insistence, Hong Xiaoduo finally had no choice but to accept a gold note worth five hundred taels.
That night, Kaiyang suggested that he sleep alone, and Hong Xiaoduo just thought he was being stubborn and didn't say anything.
However, the next morning, when Kaiyang didn't come for breakfast, Madam Hua quickly ordered someone to call him. The servant returned and reported that the young master's room was empty and no one was there...
