Chapter 384 - 384 Wang Liulang's Child Bride
384 Wang Liulang’s Child Bride
Usually, Ouyang Changjing was not as gentle as now.
As the Crown Prince of a country, even if he had a healthy and strong father above him, he had to bear the identity of the Crown Prince.
Therefore, it was necessary for his hands to be dirty.
However, he could not bear to kill the family in front of him.
Not only him, but even Ouyang Pei, who had been shouting to kill, was as quiet as a quail. He did not make any ferocious suggestions.
Ye Yuncang watched from the sidelines the entire time. If not for the 1,000 taels of silver, he would not have said those words.
Ouyang Pei was filled with endless regret. It was actually such a short sentence and it made him lose 1,000 taels!
“Do you want me to help say a few more words?” Ye Yuncang asked kindly.
Ouyang Pei: “…No money.”
“Forget I asked,” Ye Yuncang said.
Ouyang Pei: “…”
He finally understood why Ye Yuncang’s Dharma name was Yun Gou.
That was not a cowardly dog at all, but a rat!
Under Yun Zhi’s advice, the two sides finally agreed to give each other a day to ease up. It was not to discuss Little Ah Yu, but to use a day to convince the other party.
Ouyang Changjing left with a group of people, but he did not go far. Instead, he went directly to the neighbor and knocked on the other party’s door.
“Sorry to trouble you. Is your courtyard outside available for rent?” Ye Yuncang smiled and stepped forward.
Although his appearance looked a little strange, his face was very friendly. The other party still did not treat him as a bad person.
However, his gaze was as if he was looking at a fool. “We didn’t ask someone to rent it out.”
“Then you can have such thoughts now.” Before the other party rejected, Ye Yuncang added, “How about 50 taels of silver a day?”
The people inside were stunned and looked at Ye Yuncang with love.
It was as if the person in front of her was even more stupid.
Ye Yuncang looked at Ouyang Pei behind him.
Ouyang Pei stepped forward silently and took out two golden leaves from his waist, handing them to the person.
The golden leaf was extremely heavy and was made by the Great Chang Nation. It could be exchanged for more than 50 taels of silver in a few large silver farms.
Ordinary people did not use this, but basically everyone who lived in town recognized it.
Not long ago, Zhang Zhan had sent people to various towns to give a speech to let the commoners recognize gold, silver, and money to prevent them from being scammed with fake coins.
After Ouyang Pei took out the golden leaves, that person’s eyes widened.
“Here, this is the rent for the next two days.”
That person took the golden leaves and looked at Ouyang Pei, then at Ye Yuncang.
She turned around and shouted inside, “Husband, Chuanfu, Chuangui, didn’t you say that you were moving today? Why are you still dawdling inside? Come out quickly and give up your rooms for the nobles!”
The head of the household, who was about to repair the roof, was speechless.
When did they say that they were moving?
Fifteen minutes later, the family left happily.
Ouyang Changjing and the others moved in.
Wang Dalang, who was following behind them, saw them enter the courtyard next door and hurriedly went back to report to Old Madam Wang.
Old Madam Wang: “Don’t worry about it. Aren’t you going back to the village? Why aren’t you moving?”
Wang Chuanfu: “Mother, with the current situation, how would I dare to go back?”
If they returned and those people relied on their numbers to kidnap Ah Yu, wouldn’t their families suffer greatly?
Wang Chuanfu was not so careless.
Madam Feng, who had been silent at the side, also said, “That’s right. It’s obvious that those people are prepared. Our family has the advantage in numbers. We thin out our forces now.”
“Didn’t you notice? The person who spoke to Mother has eyes very similar to Ah Yu’s.” Wang Chuangui pointed at his eyes and said faintly, “Although the pattern in his eyes is very faint, it’s still the same as Ah Yu’s. Even if they’re not family, they might be from the same clan.”
This was the reason why Wang Chuangui did not speak much.
Previously, at Qingmu Academy, Wang Chuangui had learned the ability to debate. If not for the strange look in Ouyang Changjing’s eyes just now, he would have used his ability to argue with them on the spot.
Old Madam Wang snorted. “I don’t care where he’s from.”
Not to mention now, even back then, if someone came to snatch Ah Yu away, Old Madam Wang would have carried a knife and fought with them.
She did not know if her useless sons would be able to give birth to such an obedient and cute granddaughter.
It was already a blessing for their ancestors to be able to pick up one!
“Old woman, what do you think we should do? The other party looks like they’re either rich or noble. How can we commoners match up to them? Why don’t we move out overnight and move back to Hu Family Village? We’ll go to the cave on the cliff to deal with them first.” Old man Wang suggested.
The others felt that this was very unreliable. On second thought, they could not think of a better method.
That’s right, their family only had one county scholar now.
However, there was still a huge gap between a county scholar and an official. If the other party wanted to bully them, they might not be able to win.
A person who could judge the situation was an outstanding person.
There was nothing embarrassing about running if they could not win.
Old Madam Wang sat calmly at the master seat and took a sip of the already cold tea.
“Alright, go and do your things. It must be difficult for you little heads to think so much.” Old Madam Wang chased these people far away like she was chasing away flies.
Only Old man Wang was left.
Old man Wang looked at Old Madam Wang. The two of them only looked at each other for a moment before understanding each other’s thoughts.
“You want me to—”
Before Old man Wang could finish speaking, Old Madam Wang nodded.
“No matter what, Ah Yu can’t be taken away.”
For the time being, it was difficult to tell if the other party was loyal or traitorous.
But, it was impossible to give Ah Yu to them.
Unless they had a very good reason to ensure that Ah Yu had absolute freedom and happiness.
“We can’t let Ah Yu go with them. If I’m not wrong, they’re either officials or nobles. If Ah Yu goes back with them, how can she be as free as she is now?” As Old man Wang spoke, he had an idea. “Alright, I’ll take care of this matter.”
At most, they would beg the Immortal that was attached to Ah Yu.
If the Immortal agreed to let Ah Yu follow them, and Ah Yu was willing too. Then they would not be in the position to stop them.
The premise of everything was that they would never hurt Ah Yu.
In the afternoon, Little Ah Yu returned to Old man Wang’s house happily with Wang Liulang.
Before entering the house, she glanced at the courtyard beside her and said to the person lying on the eaves, “Uncle, it’s so dirty up there. It’s so troublesome to wash clothes. Even the other uncles don’t want to play on it anymore.”
Ouyang Changjing’s secret guard: “…”
Chi Tu, Chi She, and the others, who were hiding behind: “…”
Little Ah Yu did not notice what she had exposed and skipped home to the Wang Family.
As soon as she reached the door, she started shouting, “Grandma, I found a wife for Sixth Brother!”
Just as she finished shouting, she heard someone panting behind her.
“Wait… wait… wait for me!” Zhang Qiaosi was out of breath from running. She lifted her skirt and followed Little Ah Yu, also shouting into the courtyard.
“Hello, Grandma. I’m the future wife of Wang Ruyu’s Sixth Big Brother. I’m coming to your house to be a child bride!”
The Wang Family members who heard the commotion: “…”
The Zhang Family servants following behind: “…”
Wang Liulang, who was holding Little Ah Yu’s hand, kicked his foot against the threshold with a clang and stumbled.
Then, he fell face-first.
The lamb beside him instantly spread its hooves, it’s furry head pressed against Wang Liulang’s body.
Wang Liulang did not fall, but his ribs were broken by the lamb’s two hard horns.
Wang Liulang: “…”
Perhaps this was what Second Brother often said about an unlucky year.
