Chapter 178 Return to the County
"Yes, I know my crime. I have committed a serious mistake. Please punish me, sir." Hongxiu continued to kneel and kowtow.
"Do you think I'm reluctant to punish you? If you weren't still useful, would I keep you here? Leave this little monk here, and I'll send someone to take good care of him. Go back now. If you make any more mistakes, I won't forgive you!"
Hongxiu hugged the little monk tightly and cried, "Please have mercy, sir. He is innocent. He knows nothing. He is still a child."
"You're too soft-hearted. I shouldn't have let you keep the child. I'm not the type to harm a child. You know what to do next, okay?"
Hongxiu immediately kowtowed, her head was broken and bleeding, "Yes, I understand, I will serve you well."
"Hmph, go down! If you work hard for me, I will naturally treat this little monk well." Huang Wei picked up the little monk and carried him over.
After Hongxiu left, Huang Wei called another person over, "Come here, go to Qinghe County and check on this year's champion, Lin Jingyou. It would be best if we could find a way to make him die unexpectedly, understand?"
He could not tolerate the fact that a dignified fourth-rank provincial governor had been humiliated by this brat. If he couldn't touch the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, could he not touch a mere champion?
As for Yan Hui, a gentleman's revenge is never too late!
Just as he gave the order, another subordinate came in holding a letter. "Sir, there is an anonymous letter at the door. Judging from the name on the envelope, it's for you."
Huang Wei thought about the account book and was about to reach out, but he was worried that it might be poisonous, so he directly ordered, "Open the letter and read it to me."
The subordinate responded, opened the envelope, and read, "Huang Wei, if you dare to touch my brother Jingyou and his family, the account book will appear before the emperor tomorrow! The worst that can happen is that both sides will perish!"
This tone sounds very much like something that Yan Hui, that annoying kid, would say.
Huang Wei was furious and wanted to sweep everything off the table, but when he turned around, he found that the documents on the table had already been swept to the ground by him and had not been put back on the table.
Finally, he slammed his hand on the table and said, "Yan Hui, Lin Jingyou, these two are really amazing! We were on high alert, but we never expected that the account book would be in their hands!"
At this time, the young monk called out twice more, "Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong!"
Huang Wei walked down and came to the little monk. He pinched his chin and asked, "What did you say? Say it again."
The little monk was so frightened that he cried out, "Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong."
A subordinate nearby reminded him, "Sir, the most capable subordinate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery back then was Ma Jinzhong. The Emperor refused any reward, but he went to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion and became a steward. This incident caused a huge sensation at the time. Do you remember?"
"So this is what he meant by Uncle Zhong. Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion, I will never coexist with you!" Huang Wei said sinisterly.
"Sir, what about Lin Jieyuan..." the subordinate who was still in the room asked with a stiff upper lip.
"Don't worry about him. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. By the way, send two more people to protect him secretly to prevent Ouyang Bo from making mistakes due to impulsiveness. This small Jieyuan is nothing to be afraid of. The Eighth Prince's big event is more important." Huang Wei could only swallow his anger.
Back to Daqing Village, after Lin Hai's full-moon banquet, as they had agreed beforehand, Lin Jingce stayed in Daqing Village to take care of the farm work, while Lin Jingcheng went to the county town to help with the business.
Lin Jingyou had to return to Bailu Academy to continue his studies.
This time when they left, they brought Chen the Hunter along, and it was he who drove the carriage to take them to the county town.
Shen Wanning held Aunt Zhang's hand and said reluctantly, "Mom, why don't you, Dad, and my second sister-in-law go live in the county town together? That way, my second brother won't have to travel back and forth every day!"
"Oh, that won't work. There is still so much work to do in the fields. How can I do that if I'm not at home to watch over it?" Aunt Zhang refused.
"Why don't you go to the county town with us? We can then hire a maid to take care of Xiaohai and your second sister-in-law." Shen Wanning continued.
"We've left the village before, so why are you so reluctant to leave today? Have you forgotten that the three little ones are still in school? You can't just go to the county town and leave Xiaohu at home, right?" Aunt Zhang explained with a smile.
Shen Wanning thought about it and said, "If Dad and Mom miss us, they can ask Big Brother to send you to the county town for a short stay anytime."
"Don't worry, I know. You can come back anytime. It's not far away. We can meet anytime. Go quickly!" Aunt Zhang urged.
She could understand what Shen Wanning was thinking. It was simply that she and Lin Jingyou were living in the county town, and she was afraid that it would be awkward. That was why she was dawdling and unwilling to leave today.
Shen Wanning took one last look at everyone before getting on the carriage. There were only her and Lin Jingyou in the carriage; Lin Jingcheng had already left for the county town, and the two of them were packing their clothes, so they left a little late.
As soon as she got on the carriage, Lin Jingyou pulled her to sit next to him. He then put his arm around her and leaned her against him. "Why don't you lean on me and rest for a while? We'll be there for a long time."
Thinking that Chen the Hunter was still outside, and afraid that he might hear the noise inside, Shen Wanning lay quietly in Lin Jingyou's arms. It was actually quite comfortable.
After sleeping for a while, she was awakened by the shaking. Shen Wanning, who was too lazy to move, curiously pinched Lin Jingyou's waist and chest.
"Third brother seems to have a good figure, without a trace of fat, but not too skinny. If he were too thin, just bones, I would feel uncomfortable lying in your arms. If he was a little fatter, he would look too greasy. For Third brother, neither fat nor thin is just right."
Lin Jingyou lowered his head, his eyes as dark as ink. He said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move. If you move again, Third Brother can't guarantee that he won't do anything else."
Shen Wanning, who had received a modern education, naturally understood the deep meaning behind Lin Jingyou's words. She quickly put her hands down and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep. "I'd better sleep a little longer!"
Lin Jingyou chuckled, then lowered his head and pecked Shen Wanning lightly on the lips. He had only intended to peck her lightly, but when he felt the softness, his mouth seemed to stick to it, unable to leave.
(Omitted here, the review failed)
Shen Wanning gradually felt that breathing was difficult, and she pushed Lin Jingyou to stand up. "Third brother is so mean. He actually...actually attacked me while I was sleeping. Third brother was not like this before."
"I can't help it. The late lemon is so sweet that I can't help but want to taste it." After saying that, he looked at her mouth meaningfully.
Shen Wanning was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth and said, "No, no, I want to sleep. Third brother, don't bully me anymore."
