Chapter 159 Pig teammates
"I asked about this in the village. The third young lady is indeed good at martial arts, and she seems to be quite powerful." Manager Liu said in a disapproving tone, "Country people are ignorant and think everything is powerful. I think the third young lady only knows some tricks. ”
"Flower fists and embroidered legs." Lu Chengyuan repeated these four words slowly, tapped his whitened knuckles on the desk, and asked after a moment, "Is father's anger gone?"
The topic suddenly changed, and Manager Liu was stunned for a moment before replying: "Although I'm relieved, I look like I'm not in a good mood."
"Third brother is ignorant." Lu Chengyuan paused from cracking his knuckles, a thoughtful look flashed across his face, and ordered, "In two days, you can find an opportunity to mention that matter in front of father. When things are done, my mother will feel relieved."
Manager Liu responded quickly.
The study became quiet again. Lu Chengyuan seemed to be fascinated by the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl. When Manager Liu wanted to find an excuse to leave, he said: "Go and tell Sang Qi in person, it's just the last batch. If If something goes wrong with this batch, he won’t have to come back.”
Manager Liu was ordered to leave, but Lu Chengyuan called out to him, "Also, before this batch of goods is sold, he is not allowed to wander around in the other courtyard again."
"Yes." Manager Liu asked, "Does the young master have any other instructions?"
Lu Chengyuan waved his hand towards him, and Manager Liu stepped out knowingly and gently closed the study door.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Chengyuan came out of the study and went to see the two children.
Shang Wan kept the conversation he just heard in mind, thinking that he had promised to go home for lunch, so he flew out of Lu Mansion, returned to the inn, checked out of the room, and drove the ox cart out of the city.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, Shang Wan felt that leaving like this was not enough, so he drove the ox cart back to Qiao Mansion.
The concierge went in and called, and not long after, A Le ran out in a hurry, with two black and blue balls hanging under his eyes.
"Why are you the only one, where is your young master?" Shang Wan glanced behind him and saw no sign of Qiao Yu'an.
A Le said with a bitter face: "The young master was punished by the master last night, and he is still kneeling in the ancestral hall."
Shang Wan couldn't imagine Qiao Yu'an kneeling obediently in the ancestral hall, and wondered: "What did he do to deserve punishment?"
"Fighting with a classmate." A Le said in an angry tone, "It was obvious that the opponent made the first move, but the master indiscriminately punished the young master to kneel in the ancestral hall. He was not allowed to get up unless he admitted his mistake."
The young man's face was full of worry, and the dark circles under his eyes were particularly obvious. "Young master has been hungry since last night. What should I do if I faint from hunger?"
Shang Wan said: "There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Wouldn't you secretly send him some food?"
A Le said helplessly: "I sent it, but the young master said he was in a bad mood and wouldn't eat it."
"You're quite stubborn. Don't fight against anything but your body." Shang Wan curled his lips, "Since he refuses to eat, just pray that he faints from hunger soon."
A Le looked at her dissatisfied, "My young master and Master Lu are good friends. Now that the young master has become like this, why are you still here making sarcastic remarks?"
"You're not happy that you're stupid." Shang Wan shrugged, "After all, they are biological father and son. If your young master faints, he can always come out and call a doctor or something? Won't he get the person out?"
Ah Le suddenly realized that this could still be the case.
Shang Wan glanced at him, "The father took care of his son, but the mother didn't help and beg for mercy?"
"Of course I beg." Ah Le muttered softly when he saw that there was no one around. "When the madam begged for mercy, the master became even more angry. Originally, the young master was only punished by not being allowed to go out for half a month. When the madam interceded, it was directly changed to a penalty of kneeling in the ancestral hall."
Shang Wan: "..."
Pig teammates are everywhere.
A Le knew that Shang Wan came to see his young master for something. "The young master can't come out now. If you have anything to say to me in advance, I will tell the young master for you." "I can tell you." Shang Wan raised his fingers at him Head, motioning for him to come over.
"I want your young master to help keep an eye on the Longling Escort Agency and their second-in-command Sang Qi to see who they have contacts with. It's best to write them down."
"Escort agency?" A Le looked at Shang Wan suspiciously. He wanted to ask something, but Shang Wan slapped him back. "Just tell your young master exactly what I said. Don't ask any more questions."
"Oh." A Le rubbed his forehead and said to himself that Shang Wan was fierce.
"One more thing." Shang Wan asked him in a lower voice, "Has the person you followed come back?"
She didn't say specifically what she was following, but A Le was Qiao Yuan's most trusted person, and she knew what Shang Wan was asking as soon as she heard it.
He said: "I haven't come back. When someone comes back, I will send someone to tell you."
"Okay, don't forget." Shang Wan jumped on the bullock cart and waved to him, "I'm leaving first. You go back and take care of your young master. Let him faint quickly. His blood is not flowing smoothly after kneeling for a long time. Bad knees."
A Le agreed, but suddenly thought of something, and quickly called her, "Wait a minute."
Shang Wan looked back at him, "What, is there anything else?"
"Ointment." A Le took two steps forward and stood next to Huang Niu, looking up at Shang Wan, "The eldest young master asked my young master to help me ask you what you need to do to cooperate with him. You can put forward whatever conditions you want."
"That's a secret recipe handed down from our ancestors. I keep it as a family heirloom. How can I cooperate with others so easily?" Shang Wan took the cattle whip and tapped him on the forehead. "I also brought this sentence intact. Remember. Get out of the way immediately, I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner."
A Le stood aside obediently and watched Shang Wan leave.
Just as Shang Wan left, two slender figures walked out of Qiao's mansion.
"Ale."
"I've met the Second Miss." A Le saluted Qiao Weiwei.
Qiao Weiwei glanced in the direction he was looking just now and asked curiously: "If you don't guard your brother, what are you doing here?"
A Le said with a smile: "The young master wanted to eat something sweet after being punished. He is tired of the snacks in the house, so he asked me to go outside and buy some snacks."
He asked: "Second Miss, are you going out?"
There was a hint of worry on Qiao Weiwei's face, "My father likes to eat Longxu Cake from Xiaotang Shop on East Street. I will buy some and bring them back to make my father happy. When my father's anger subsides, my brother will be able to come out of the ancestral hall as soon as possible."
An Le smiled and said, "The second young lady is so kind to the young master."
"We are brothers and sisters, so naturally I treat him well." Qiao Weiwei looked at him secretly and said in a soft voice, "Brother is being punished now, so he cannot be without you. Tell me what snacks he wants to eat, and I will buy them together."
A Le was just making up nonsense, and Qiao Yu'an didn't let him buy snacks at all.
However, he was very familiar with Qiao Yuan's preferences and immediately ordered three snacks according to Qiao Yuan's taste.
"Okay, I'll take note of it. You go back to the house first, persuade your brother, let him and father surrender, and come out of the ancestral hall as soon as possible."
A Le said hello.
Just as the sedan arrived, A Le watched Qiao Weiwei get on the sedan. He looked up at the sky and suddenly felt doubts in his heart.
It's almost lunch time, why is the second lady going out at this time? Do I need to rush to buy snacks?
