NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29 - II
Huanshui County Street.
Liu Fang and Hua Amu walked together, observing the man and woman being paraded through the streets.
Curious, Liu Hua grabbed a fellow townsman and inquired, “Who are these two people being paraded on the street?”
The townsman explained enthusiastically, “The man is the Wu family’s former son-in-law, and the woman is from the Li family. She was later married into the Wu family. Unfortunately, the two unscrupulous individuals got together and fooled around, was caught by Madam Wu! The Li family only took away the baby; they don’t have the nerve to care about this girl!”
“Poor Young Master Wu, I don’t know if that child is a son or a younger brother!” the townsman sighed.
Both the Wu family and the Li family were prominent in the county, known for their large shops. Even Liu Hua, who had been in the county only a few times, was aware: “Are these two wealthy families? The father-in-law and his daughter-in-law… are really dirty!”
Liu Hua frowned as he spoke.
Leading Liu Fang to a less crowded area, he looked around and said, “Fang Ge’er, why don’t we go to the Wu house to deliver things?”
Eager to earn money, Liu Fang agreed, “Hua Amu, I also think so. Madam Wu is now in charge of the household. As you heard, the young master of the Wu family wanted to collect interesting things to alleviate his mother’s boredom. It seems Madam Wu wasn’t feeling good and confined at home.”
“That makes sense, Young Master Wu is being filial.” After a brief consideration, Liu Hua realized that what Liu Fang said was indeed plausible.
“Yes, they are paraded in the streets for their misdeeds. Let’s do something good and make some money!” Liu Hua looked delighted, as if he were the one earning the money. Even if he couldn’t make any money himself, Liu Hua was content if Fang Ge’er could.
Liu Fang smiled and nodded, “Let’s go. We’ll be back as soon as we deliver the goods.”
With plans already in mind, Liu Fang intended to use the money earned from the Wu family to buy a house near Huanshui Academy in the school district.
He was already Jing Xingzhi’s wife in name, so it was too bad if he couldn’t see him every day! How can he develop feelings when he can’t see anyone?
When it came to secret love, Liu Fang was extremely skilled. He even discovered that he was one of those people who couldn’t see other people and could think of five generations on his own. But he also knew that he would definitely be scared when he saw Jing Xingzhi.
If he liked it, just followed his heart. But it was very scary to act on his own. Furthermore, Liu Fang got used to it, and it became more natural to be cowardly.
But now they were far away, and Liu Fang had arranged himself clearly in his plan.
First, he went to buy a house in the school district to create an environment where he could get along with him, and then he kept a low profile and made sure Jing Xingzhi couldn’t be seduced by the little girls and shuangers from ancient times.
If Jing Xingzhi really fell in love with someone else, he would have no place to cry.
With his thoughts in mind, Liu Fang took Hua Amu to the door of the Wu house.
.
Hearing that the two people said that they were from Mingxi Town, they came to give something to Madam to relieve her boredom. The old servant Dong immediately led the two people in and asked them to meet his young master.
Ever since something happened to the Wu family, life had been difficult for Old Dong. The lady stayed in bed all day to recuperate, and the young master looked like he had lost a lot of weight.
A few days ago, Madam Li came to the door every day to beg for mercy, asking the Wu family not to let the Li family’s daughter parade in the streets.
The old Dong couldn’t figure out where Madam Li could be so shameless. She didn’t teach her daughter well, and she didn’t want his wife to teach her daughter a lesson! Furthermore, the daughter of the Li family was also a mother. If she did something wrong, someone had to teach her, least the children would learn something bad.
Now that people were being dragged out to parade, the Li family finally disappeared, and Old Dong felt better. Hearing that someone had come to bring something to his madam to relieve her boredom, Old Dong happily hoped that the two shuangers would leave with a large bag of money each.
Walking away with money means that the two shuangers had good things. If the young master was happy, the madam would also be happy, and her life would be comfortable again.
.
Wu Mingrui was handling housework in the main hall. A few days ago, he also handled trivial matters well, and Wu Weirui didn’t need to worry at all. Speaking of which, Wu Weirui herself didn’t believe that her son had such ability and patience.
Hearing that someone came to give his mother something to relieve her boredom, Wu Mingrui asked his servants to welcome the person in quickly.
“Two of you, please sit down.” Wu Mingrui said politely, “I wonder what this amu and little shuanger want to give? I only accept the newer ones. I have already collected a lot of others.”
“You must have missed this one!” Liu Hua glanced at the basket brought by Fang Ge’er and spoke confidently.
Liu Fang was slightly more modest: “Maybe you are well-informed and have seen it before.”
After saying this, Liu Fang took out a homemade devil puzzle. Yes, it was a puzzle with many pieces that could make people doubted their life, but it was definitely a good thing to pass the time.
Wu Mingrui thought it was a wooden painting at first, but when he got closer, he realized that the wooden boards were put together piece by piece.
The fictional ancient history was missing, and many things weren’t available in the Li Dynasty.
Wu Mingrui admired: “Can this be taken apart and put back together again? It’s interesting. Is there anything else?” Wu Mingrui looked forward to it.
