In the evening, Xiao Jingting’s family gathered together for dinner.
“A nobleman said that as long as my wife leaves me and wanders the streets, he will give Wang Erhu five hundred taels of silver?” Xiao Jingting asked. He couldn’t understand why Wang Erhu was so eager to revolve around the original owner. The original owner was so easily deceived, and even treated this scheming person as a brother.
Xu Mu’an nodded and said, “Yes, Wang Erhu said that.”
Xiao Jingting’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “What kind of person is he! How despicable!”
Xiao Jingting squinted his eyes. With so many people holding him back and the original host’s lack of ambition, the original host would surely deteriorate.
“Did he say who the person was?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“No, he said the nobleman was very mysterious and didn’t reveal his identity. But he said the nobleman left a jade pendant for him, telling him to find him with the jade pendant after completing the task,” Xu Mu’an said, taking out a jade pendant and handing it to Xiao Jingting.
“Let me see,” Xiao Jinfeng said.
Xiao Jingting handed the jade pendant to Xiao Jinfeng, who looked at it and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. “It should be Sun Hao’s jade pendant.”
Xiao Jingting squinted his eyes. He originally thought it was one of Xiao’s cousins ??who had made a move, but he didn’t expect it to be someone from the Sun family.
“Third Brother, you and Sun Hao shouldn’t have any grudges, right?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Sun Hao has always thought of me as a rat from the gutter and thinks I’m not worthy of pursuing his sister.”
Xiao Jinfeng squinted his eyes and said, “That Sun Miaomiao is not a good person either. How dare she look down on you, Third Brother. It’s outrageous.”
“Enough, let it go,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, “Yeah! The Sun family is full of trouble. I originally thought Sun Hao was a decent person, but I didn’t expect him to be like this.”
“Sun Young Master is busy with many matters, and he probably doesn’t have time to worry about this side,” Xiao Jingting said. He was still somewhat worried that old enemies might come looking for trouble.
Xiao Jinfeng snorted and said, “If he dares to come, I will definitely teach him a lesson.”
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Jinfeng and said, “Second Brother, calm down.”
Xu Mu’an looked at Xiao Jinfeng and said, “Second Brother, I heard that you showed your strength again today.”
Xiao Jinfeng smiled and said, “It’s just a wild boar of the third level, nothing special.”
“Second Brother, you’re too amazing. That’s why you don’t even care about third-level wild boars,” Xu Mu’an complimented.
Xiao Jinfeng chuckled. He felt that life now was much more flavorful than before. Many mercenaries came from peasant families and had inherent prejudices against nobles. He originally thought he had integrated into the mercenaries, but in the end, it was just an illusion.
Xu Mu’an lowered his head, feeling somewhat uneasy. He thought to himself: Xiao Jingting has advanced, and his help to Xiao Jingting has diminished. He must find a way to improve his strength as soon as possible. Xiao Jingting’s changes made Xu Mu’an relieved but also vaguely uneasy.
…
“What about that Wang Erhu?” Xiao Jinfeng asked with a murderous look on his face.
“He’s just a scoundrel, trying to extort money by any means possible. However, his plan this time backfired. He harassed the young master of a wealthy household in town while he was patrolling in disguise and was severely injured,” Xu Mu’an said.
“He deserves it,” Xiao Jinfeng said coldly.
Xu Mu’an nodded and said, “Yeah.”
Wang Erhu had previously come to the countryside to find Xiao Jingting once. That time, Xiao Jingting was out, so Wang Erhu unfortunately encountered Xu Mu’an.
Xu Mu’an accused Wang Erhu of being a thief who entered the house without permission and beat him up with others. Wang Erhu suffered quite a bit and didn’t dare to come to the countryside to find anyone again.
Xu Mu’an heard that after Wang Erhu offended someone this time, he once again targeted Xiao Jinfeng. However, he had been evading the pursuit of the wealthy family’s pursuers, and hadn’t found an opportunity to leave the city.
Later, Wang Erhu encountered Xu Mu’an. Xu Mu’an didn’t know if it was out of desperation that Wang Erhu asked Xu Mu’an for help.
