Chapter 311: Another Trouble Arises
, but I'm skilled at landscape painting. My paintings could fetch some silver."Seeing the two about to argue, Minmin directly lowered herself and slipped away.With much effort, she finally found the y..."You"
Chang Shun Yuan didn't expect Wen Lu to bring up his father the moment she arrived. Just as he was about to deny it, Wen Lu cut him off.
"Your father, that shameless old man, after being rejected by me, set his sights on my daughter Minmin. He doesn't even look in the mirror at his own wrinkled face, a face full of wrinkles that could kill flies, and he dares to covet my beautiful daughter!"
Only a fool like you would think your father wants to marry his daughter off to you. This is just a way for him to hide his dirty intentions.
Once you inherit the鏢局, I don't believe you can stay with Minmin every day. But your father can use the excuse of enjoying his old age and retiring behind the scenes to continue being the head鏢頭. You'll just be a puppet!
"Looking at you now, you probably haven't even had the experience of walking a single escort mission on your own, have you"
At this time, the face of Shun Yuan who was usually fair and smooth now turned a bluish purple.
A good dog doesn't block the way, move aside!
Wen Lu didn't like this dandy. Before, she had to endure him because she needed to make a living at Chang Wei鏢局, but now she wasn't afraid. With a wave of her hand, she used her hidden energy to push Chang Shun away into the crowd, then walked away proudly with her people.
Before leaving, Luo Huai spat at Chang Shunyuan one last time. The two guards from the Wu family also gave Chang Shunyuan a look of disdain as he sat on the ground, then followed Wen Lu away. They were going back to report this news to Captain Wu.
Chang Wei saw his son blocking the other person on the second floor, and he smirked smugly as he took a sip of his wine. He was waiting for Wen Lu and her daughter to apologize to him with their heads bowed. But when he turned around again, Wen Lu and her daughter had already left, and his son was sitting slumped on the ground. His face changed color immediately, and he rushed downstairs.
" Shun Yuan, what's going on "
Chang Shunyuan's face flushed red at this moment, he shook off his father's hand and said with some displeasure:
"Auntie Wen said you want to marry her as my stepmother. Is there such a thing"
Chang Wei was taken aback and immediately denied it.
"She, a widow, dares to be my wife!"
Obviously, he was getting flustered and his voice rose unconsciously.
"What about Na Minmin She's young and beautiful, good at everything, most importantly she's healthy, she'll definitely be able to give you another son."
Chang Shunyuan's eyes were a little gloomy as he continued to question.
Chang Wei hesitated for a moment before denying it.
“Minmin is the ideal wife I have in mind for you. I thought they, being a single mother and daughter, would be easy to manipulate, but I didn't expect them to have other plans. Otherwise, she would have given you an heir long ago. Wait until you have a grandson, then you can take a few more concubines, so that our family line will flourish, and as your father, I will have lived up to the expectations of our ancestors.”
Chang Shunyuan's mind and spirit were somewhat calmer now, but he still had some doubts, especially since the other party had mocked him for lacking even a single experience of escorting alone.
"Get those two bitches out of here!"
Chang Shunyuan said with a hint of dissatisfaction, then turned to look back at the clothing store where they had just left before entering to find the proprietress.
The proprietress had heard the whole thing that just happened in front of her shop, so she wasn't fond of these two father and son. However, since they were customers who came to her door, doing business naturally meant being polite and friendly.
In response to the inquiries from the Chang family, she put down her ruler and feigned displeasure as she said:
"Were those two customers talking about the group of women who were here before They looked over every piece of fabric in my shop, and asked about some ready-made clothes, but they didn't buy anything, just left."
Because they had agreed to tailor-made dresses for their young mistress at their home, and they wanted twenty or thirty outfits, the proprietress promised to deliver them. So when Wenlu and her companions left, their hands were empty of even a scrap of fabric. The proprietress lied without any shame whatsoever.
Have they ever mentioned where they live
Chang Shunyuan was unwilling to let it go. He just wanted to vent his anger.
"Guest sir, my home is a business, not an official government office. Why would I ask such questions Besides, even if I did ask, they might not tell me!"
The proprietress simply threw up her hands.
Chang Shun Yuan and Chang Wei left the tailor shop with sullen faces. The shop owner rolled her eyes at the departing pair before turning into the back room to instruct her in-house tailor to begin making the garments they had ordered.
After Wen Lu finished scolding people, she felt refreshed and led the group back to the inn. After the two guards put their things away, they went to look for their captain Wu Meng.
The two of them talked back and forth, telling the captain about Wenlu's encounter with her former employer and even relaying the insults Wenlu had received.
"Big boss, you have to seize the opportunity."
"That's right, Sister Wen is kind-hearted and trusted by the young mistress. Even though she has a daughter, she is still young, agile, and capable. If she were to marry you, she would be an excellent wife."
"Alright, you're just talking nonsense!"
Wu Meng waved his large hands like a fan, sending his two subordinates flying.
After some thought, he went to have dinner alone with Wenlu in the evening. He expressed his concern and told her that if anything happened, she could contact him anytime. He would protect her and her daughter no matter what.
"Thank you, Brother Wu. My wife and I can take care of ourselves. It's just that those flies are really annoying."
Wen Lu smiled and said.
After chatting for a few moments, they each went their separate ways.
After returning, Luo Ying told Lian Yi about the Chang family's affairs, and even mentioned Wu Meng who acted righteously. Lian Yi immediately understood that the bodyguard captain beside her had a crush on Wen Yi, but he just hadn't revealed it.
As a host, she naturally hopes that the people around her have a good home. However, she won't just randomly match people up.
The next day, Chu Liangchen, who had been out all night, brought back a bombshell.
"What You're saying the county magistrate is gathering people to capture that white python Why To subdue demons and exorcise evils"
Luo Ying asked in surprise.
“It's true, posters have already been put up all over town, recruiting anyone capable to catch that white python alive. There’s a reward offered in silver, and the amount depends on how much effort you put in. The person who captures it first will get one thousand taels of silver!”
As for the reason, it seems that the white python was intended as a auspicious animal to be sent to the capital city, just in time to celebrate the Emperor's birthday.
"This county magistrate of Huafeng City must be crazy to climb the ranks!"
Ripple shook his head.
"Who says otherwise! But high rewards attract brave men. When I came back, many martial artists had already gone to the yamen to sign up."
Chu Liangchen immediately added a sentence.
"Luo Ying, please invite Wuyu Daochang to see me."
Yes, Miss!
The two master and apprentice have been uncharacteristically quiet these past two days. They eat their three meals a day in their room, behaving like proper ladies of the manor, never leaving its confines, merely tending to their wounds within.
After a quarter of an hour, Luo Ying arrived at Lian Yi's room with Wu Yu and his apprentice following behind.
"Thank you, Lu Yao Fairy, for your help. Please allow me to stay here and recover. I apologize for the trouble."
Wuyu walked a respectful circle and then spoke.
"Well, you guys know now! I thought meeting you wouldn't be good, and here we are."
The county magistrate of Huafeng City regards the man-eating white python as a auspicious omen. He is currently assembling people to capture it alive and send it back to the capital. It would be best if you, this national guardian Taoist priest, could intervene and stop this. What do you think, Wuyu Taoist Priestrived!"A young maid, trembling with fear, came in to report."What is he doing"Xiang Yi's face, veiled by a fine silk curtain, flashed a look of displeasure. However, she quickly suppressed it; after a...
