Chapter 43
In the evening, Xiao Jingting’s family gathered to eat together.
“His benefactor said that he would give Wang Erhu five hundred taels of silver as long as I got separated with my wife and children lived on the street?” Xiao Jingting asked. He now understood why Wang Erhu was so active in circling around the original body owner. The original body owner was so easily duped, and took such a scheming man as his friend.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes, that’s what Wang Erhu said.”
Xiao Jingfeng pulled a long face, gnashed his teeth and said, “Who on earth is that nobleman?! So vicious.”
Xiao Jingting squinted, with so many people trying hard to drag him down, and the original body owner’s lack of aggressiveness, it was not surprising that the original body owner stooped so low.
“Did he say who it was?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“No, he said that his benefactor was very mysterious and didn’t tell him his identity. However, he said that his benefactor had left a jade pendant for him and told him to take it to him after he completed his task.” Xu Muan took out a jade pendant and gave it to Xiao Jingting.
“Let me have a look.” Xiao Jinfeng said.
Xiao Jingting heard his words and handed the jade pendant to Xiao Jinfeng. Xiao Jinfeng looked at the jade pendant and there was a surge of fury in his eyes, “It should be the jade pendant of Sun Hao from the Sun family’s.”
Xiao Jingting squinted his eyes. He originally thought that one of the Xiao family was behind this, but he didn’t expect it to be someone from the Sun family.
“Third brother, do you have any grudge with Sun Hao?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “I don’t know, Sun Hao always thought that I was a rat in the gutter and that I shouldn’t have pursued his sister.”
Xiao Jinfeng narrowed his eyes and said, “That Sun Miaomiao is not a good woman either. How dare he look down on you. This is just too much.”
“Alright, just forget it,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Jingfeng nodded and said, “Yes! The Sun family is in a mess. I thought Sun Hao was not too bad, but I didn’t expect him to be such a person. ”
“Young Master Sun takes care of everything every day. That matter had happened a long time ago, so I guess he wouldn’t find fault with us after such a long time.” Xiao Jingting was still a little worried that his former enemy would come and make trouble for him.
Xiao Jinfeng snorted lightly and said, “If he dares to come, I will teach him a lesson.”
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Jinfeng and said, “Second brother, calm down.”
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingfeng and said, “Second brother, I heard that you showed your prowess again today.”
Xiao Jingfeng laughed and said, “It was just a third-level wild boar that came, nothing special.”
“Second brother, you’re so powerful that you even don’t need to pay attention to a third-level wild boar,” Xu Muan complimented.
Xiao Jinfeng laughed and only felt that his present days were much more interesting than before. Most of the mercenary team members came from commoner families and had an innate prejudice against nobles. He once had thought that he had integrated into the mercenary team, but in the end he only found that it was an illusion.
Xu Muan lowered his head and his heart surged with uneasiness as he thought: After Xiao Jingting advanced, his help to Xiao Jingting became much smaller, he needed to think of a way to improve his strength as soon as possible ah! Xiao Jingting’s change not only comforted Xu Muan but also made him feel more uneasy.
“What happened to Wang Erhu?” Xiao Jinfeng asked with a fierce expression on his face.
“He is a scoundrel, always making money by blackmailing, but this time he ate his own bitter fruit. He molested a young master from a big family in the town and was seriously injured,” Xu Muan said.
“He deserved it.” Xiao Jinfeng said.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes.”
Wang Erhu had come to the countryside to look for Xiao Jingting once before when Xiao Jingting went out and he unfortunately encountered Xu Muan.
Xu Muan said that Wang Erhu was a thief, who entered the house to take things without the consent of others. Then he led other people to beat Wang Erhu hard. Wang Erhu suffered a lot and did not dare to come to the countryside to find anyone again.
Xu Muan heard that after Wang Erhu offended people this time, he intended to plot against Xiao Jinfeng. However, in order not to be found by that big family, he had been hiding and had not found a chance to leave the city.
Later, Wang Erhu met Xu Muan and, not knowing if he was too desperate, he actually turned to Xu Muan for help.
