Chapter 571
At New Moon Mansion.
Wei Liao asked, “Young Master, don’t you go see Miss Zhang?”
Xiao Jinting abruptly raised his head and stared at Wei Liao coldly. “Do I need you to tell me what I should do?”
Wei Liao hastily said, “I don’t dare to do that.”
Xiao Jinting put his hands behind himself and looked at Wei Liao with sharp eyes, saying sarcastically, “Steward Wei, let me remind you again. Shut up and stop ordering me. If you don’t like it here, go back to your mistress and flatter her. You don’t need to pull a long face here as if you are suffering.”
Wei Liao turned green and white in embarrassment.
Xiao Jinting left without looking at Wei Liao.
Zhang He saw the contorted face of Wei Liao and came over, saying apologetically, “Steward Wei, are you okay? The young master is bad-tempered. I hope you can understand.”
Wei Liao took a cold glance at Zhang He and turned to leave without saying a word.
Wei Liao’s sullen face pleased Zhang He, who was upset to be assigned to New Moon Mansion. To his dismay, the lady arranged for Wei Liao to work here. Zhang He had to be cautious when Wei Liao was around.
A guard beside Wei Liao said, “Steward Wei, it’s a good thing that the young master doesn’t go suck up Miss Zhang. Why did you remind him?”
Wei Liao narrowed his eyes and said, “It’s odd. This is not something the young master will do.”
Zhang Tianyi thought highly of himself. He would try to climb up the social ladder whenever he got the chance. Now that the golden opportunity was presented, the young master didn’t go to see Zhang Yuxue. Wei Liao found it queer. The young master was getting more arrogant.
…
Zhang He went up to Xiao Jinting and greeted, “Young Master.”
Xiao Jinting looked closely at Zhang He and asked, “What’s up, Steward Zhang?”
Zhang He said, “Miss Zhang has woken up. Would you like to pay her a visit?”
Xiao Jinting shook his head. “There is no need. We met before.”
Zhang He said inwardly, “What a pity! If Zhang Tianyi was here, he would take the chance and befriend Zhang Yuxue. However, Xiao Jinting is an impostor. If Zhang Yuxue knows about this, she will feel bad about us.”
Zhang He said, “You are right. We have to be careful not to be exposed.”
As far as Zhang He was concerned, Xiao Jinting was weaker than Zhang Tianyi with lower alchemy skills. If Xiao Jinting went to see Zhang Yuxue, she might think low of Zhang Tianyi. It was good that Xiao Jinting stayed away from her and remained mysterious.
Xiao Jinting said lightly, “It is more difficult to deal with the snobs. Zhang Bei and Zhang Fang are keeping her company. There is no need for me to go.”
Zhang Bei and Zhang Fang were courting Zhang Yuxue. It would be troublesome if the two men regarded him as an enemy.
After Zhang He left, Xu Muan stepped out from behind the screen. “I heard that you flew into a temper with Wei Liao. Aren’t you afraid to offend him?”
Xiao Jinting said indifferently, “He doesn’t dare to kill Zhang Tianyi for the time being. Otherwise, he would have taken action. He might be suspicious of me. Anger can disturb his mind.”
Xu Muan nodded. “That makes sense.”
…
In the wilderness, a rabbit ate a huge cake with gusto. Xiao Xiaojin was cooking on the side.
He said, “How could this happen?”
Xiao Xiaojin made a secret inquiry of the origin of the Golden Viagra and found it came from New Moon Mansion, which belonged to the illegitimate son of Zhang Yuanzhi, who gave the mansion to Zhang Tianyi.
The rabbit ate the cream cake lazily and said, “Your father is the illegitimate son of the Zhang family.”
Xiao Xiaojin shook his head. “No. My father ascended to the Immortal World from the Spiritual World. How can he be the illegitimate son of the Zhang family?”
The rabbit said, “It’s likely. The head of the Zhang family might have descended to the Spiritual world and slept with women there.”
Xiao Xiaojin’s face darkened. “Don’t let your imagination go wild.”
The rabbit scratched its chin and said, “The damn old man likes to wander around. He once said he wanted to visit the Spiritual World to see if there were beautiful females.”
Xiao Xiaojin was speechless.
The rabbit said with curiosity, “You said my imagination was going wild. Can you tell me why your father has become the young master of the Zhang family?”
Xiao Xiaojin took a deep breath and said, “If I guess it right, he is an impostor.”
“I heard that the head of the Zhang family is afraid of his wife. He wanted to send his illegitimate son to learn alchemy, but his wife wanted to send the son to New Moon Mansion. I suspect the head of the family asked my father to be an impostor. The real son should have been sent to learn alchemy.”
Long Jingtian said with disdain, “What a loser the head of the Zhang family is if you are right? He’s so frightened of his wife that he made such a big fuss. This idiot can be the head of the Zhang family?”
Xiao Xiaojin said, “Your face is covered with cream.”
Long Jingtian looked at Xiao Xiaojin angrily and said, “Brat, are you laughing at me?”
Xiao Xiaojin hastily said, “No, I’m not.”
Long Jingtian sneered. “If that’s your father, he seems to have some visitors these days.”
Xiao Xiaojin nodded. “Yes.”
Zhang Yuxue was said to come and capture Long Jingtian after she heard that Long Yu was robbed by Long Jingtian. Quite some people came from the Upper District to capture Long Jingtian recently.
Long Jingtian rolled on the ground. “These idiots have the nerve to catch me. They are dreaming.”
Xiao Xiaojin was lost for words.
