Thinking of all this, the girl in the pale yellow riding outfit couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow and cried out sharply, "Cao Xiaosi, my second sister and I are women, and we cannot compete with you for the right of inheritance. Why do you slander my second sister and me everywhere, and why can't you tolerate us!"
"Oh, my two dear sisters, how could I not love you? I swear to God, I love you so much!" Cao Xiaosi puffed out her chest and patted it loudly. "The two brothers-in-law I found this time are really excellent. They are talented and generous. Moreover, they are not from our area. Judging from their accents, they seem to be from Da Zhao. Da Zhao is a rich and powerful country. If you two sisters marry into it, you will surely enjoy a life of happiness."
"Enjoy your good fortune! You're clearly just greedy for a few sips of someone else's wine!" The girl in the gold and white silk dress looked at her unreliable younger brother with extreme disappointment.
She recounted to Cao Jinchang everything about how he had asked Ji Fengming for wine at the inn, directly exposing him: "You're clearly after their wine, plotting to give me and your third sister to them in exchange for a lifetime of cheap wine!"
Cao Jinchang, who was also a great drinker, was drooling as he listened. He leaned closer to Cao Xiaosi and whispered, "Is that wine really that good?"
"The fragrance is irresistible, so enticing that it makes you forget the mundane and leaves you with an unforgettable aftertaste." Cao Xiaosi sneered at Cao Jinchang and said, "I still smell that scent on me, Dad, have a sniff."
"Cough cough cough!" Cao Jinchang choked on his own, covering his nose and glancing sideways: "You haven't brushed your teeth in days, have you? A perfectly good kid like you, all sloppy, how are you going to find a wife in the future?"
Cao Xiaosi glanced at his two older sisters, who were on the verge of exploding and glaring angrily, and said with a look of disgust, "I'm not looking for a wife. Women are the fiercest and most troublesome!"
"father!"
"Cao Xiaosi, you've gone too far!"
Seeing Cao Jinchang and Cao Xiaosi whispering to each other as if nothing had happened, the girl in the gold and white silk wasp-waisted tight dress and the girl in the pale yellow riding outfit finally got angry.
The two rushed forward to tear Cao Xiaosi apart.
Cao Xiaosi quickly grabbed Cao Jinchang and shielded him, shouting, "Father, I'm not lying to you! If you take those two brothers as your sons-in-law, you'll be laughing in your sleep! If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself in the side courtyard of the inn. If I lie again this time, I, Cao Xiaosi, will never drink good wine for the rest of my life!"
Damn!
This little brat actually made such a vicious oath?!
Those two seem to be really good!
He'll have to go see for himself tomorrow—and maybe he can even have a couple of good drinks along the way.
Cao Jinchang thought for a moment and began to do his best to stop his two daughters, who were driven mad with anger. The sounds of persuasion and smashing and breaking could be heard incessantly in the house until late at night.
At this moment, Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao were preparing to return to their rooms to rest.
Ji Fengming opened the door and suddenly heard several roars of beasts coming from the mountains near Mangcheng, one of which was particularly loud.
"Awoo!"
The powerful roar was particularly eerie in the quiet of the night.
"The mountains are high and the forests are dense in the north, so the wild animals are especially energetic," Ji Fengming joked with a smile as he stepped outside. He heard a rustling sound, but he thought it was just the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the forest and didn't pay any attention to it.
It's normal for wild animals to be in the mountains and forests. Ji Chenhai, Hei Xiao, and Shang Xiye didn't take these sounds seriously and didn't pay them any mind.
Ji Fengyao listened intently for a moment, her expression changing slightly.
