After coming out of the small bamboo garden, the three of them were furious.
They had been in charge for many years and had seen all kinds of people. There were also many people who went against them, but who would make such a big move the moment they arrived?
Shouldn’t they meet first to test the other party’s attitude and depth before thinking about it at length?
Why didn’t this little girl follow the routine?
Speaking of which, if the little girl really followed the rules, she would have been led by the nose by them.
However, this had been the case all these years. The initiative was in their hands, and they were already used to it.
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became and the more they found it unbelievable.
On the way, the three of them could not say anything.
It was not until they returned to the meeting hall that Old Master Feng finally couldn’t control his temper and smashed a table! Old Master Mu stopped persuading him.
He was also extremely vexed.
This was the first time they had been tricked so badly.
This was what it meant to fail miserably.
Old Master Feng said angrily, “Old Xue, the few of us were fooled by the little girl. If word gets out, I’m afraid people will laugh to their heads off!”
Xue Ping was still calm. “So?”
Old Master Feng wringed his hands. “I can’t give her the gold! I can’t take this lying down!”
Xue Ping asked, “Are you going to abandon your grandson?”
Old Master Feng choked. “I’ll find a few experts to secretly save him.”
Xue Ping continued, ‘What about the account books? Are you going to steal them back too?”
Old Master Feng thought for a moment and snorted in disdain. “If she can steal from us, we can steal from her!”
Xue Ping felt that things were not that simple.
That girl looked confident and not afraid of stealing at all. She had probably hidden the account books in an undetectable place.
Xue Ping was right. Su Xiaoxiao had thrown all the stolen goods into the pharmacy. They only needed to steal them. If they could find them, Su Xiaoxiao would lose.
If not for the fact that the pharmacy did not accept people, she would have thrown the hostages in long ago.
“Actually, even if she handed in the accounts…”
Xue Ping glanced at him.
Old Master Feng cleared his throat and changed the topic. “His Majesty has taken a fancy to the Cheng family and might not punish us.”
Xue Ping said, “That’s because there’s no evidence on the surface. If everyone knows about it, His Majesty will have to deal with it even if he doesn’t want to!”
Old Master Feng said disapprovingly, “Can’t we just find someone to take the blame?
Xue Ping was about to lose his patience. “Not to mention that we really did it, even if we didn’t, His Majesty would kill us if such a mistake happened under our noses.”
Old Master Feng sat back in his chair. “This won’t do, and that won’t do. Are we really going to be extorted by that little girl?”
Xue Ping said nothing.
Old Master Mu thought of something and asked in confusion, “Why did she say that she would hand the account book to Eunuch Jin and not His Majesty? Could it be that this little girl has already boarded Eunuch Jin’s ship?”
Eunuch Jin was only a eunuch. Although he was doted on, ordinary people would either go to the government office to beat the drum or think of ways to meet the emperor.
Xue Ping said thoughtfully, “This girl’s background is very strange. She suddenly appeared before the Holy Selection and suddenly turned the Cheng family upside down. I don’t believe that she didn’t have the guidance of an expert.”
Old Master Feng was dumbfounded. “You mean… the expert behind her is Eunuch Jin?”
Eunuch Jin was not an ordinary eunuch. He was the personal eunuch of the King of the Southern Wilderness. If she whispered something to him, there would always be a few words that could enter the King’s ears.
Xue Ping pondered and said, “I’m afraid she’s here to investigate that matter.”
After the few of them left, it happened to be lunchtime.
The entire family sat around the central room. The three little tiger heads had to have their own exclusive seats. Xiaohu’s exclusive seat was Wei Xu.
Erhu’s was Cheng Sang.
Dahu’s was Yuchi Xiu.
Dahu felt a little awkvvard. He already treated himself as a full-fledged four-year-old child and was not used to eating on someone else’s lap.
Yuchi Xiu said, “Mortal cub, don’t move. Otherwise, I…
Dahu stuffed a bun into his mouth.
Uncle Quan made lunch.
It couldn’t be said that it didn’t taste good. It really did.
Cheng Sang and the three little ones stuck out their tongues.
In Wei Xu’s books, a refined person wouldn’t stick out his tongue.
He placed his rice in Wei Ting’s bowl in disdain.
Wei Ting was speechless.
After dinner, the three little ones went to take an afternoon nap with Cheng Sang.
Wei Xu also went to sleep.
The three hostages were tied up in his room. If they wanted to escape, they would end up with big ears and no front teeth.
Uncle Quan brought Ah Fu to clean up the house..
