”Tsk tsk, what a pity. Such a handsome young master is actually a fool.”

”I heard it's the young master of one of the biggest merchants in the capital. He has had this disease since he was young, and recently, the master of the merchant has caught a bad disease. He probably won't be able to live for long. Silly Young Master's mother did not want her foolish son to be bullied by his brothers, so she ordered the butler to bring him to the countryside to take shelter. ”

”Since you want to avoid it, then why are you getting married?”

”Marrying any kind of wife is just like being a son-in-law. How could the steward have the heart to raise another person's son after getting the money? He turned around and left this unfortunate young master here with us. This young master is a fool.

The sound of someone stealing brought Jin Xiaolou back to reality from her trance.

When he raised his eyes again, he discovered that the man's cold jade-like gaze had disappeared without a trace. At this moment, his eyes were glazed, and he looked as silly as a five-year-old child.

Was he seeing things?

Jin Xiaolou suddenly realized that her hands were tied behind her back.

Lowering his head, he saw that there was a thick hemp rope tied between his ankles.

He vaguely remembered that he was kicked unconscious by Jin Lei in the woodshed. Why, was he actually tied up and standing in the middle of a pile of people?

Jin Xiaolou left and right, almost all the families in the Wellhead Village were there, and the one standing beside him was none other than the patriarch of the Jin Family, but she did not see Huang Guizhi and Madame Liu.

He also did not see Jin Lin'er.

”What are you all doing?” Jin Xiaolou turned her head, and rushed to the closest Madame Zhou, and asked: ”Where is Lin'er, where did you bring Lin'er?”

”What are you so anxious about!” ”Madame Zhou's pair of eyes simply could not bear to leave the Silly Young Master's body. Amongst the people in the Wellhead Village, who would have seen such a good-looking man? Even if it were a fool, he would still want to take a few more glances. Don't you know what to do after a while? ”

Jin Xiaofeng, who was behind Madame Zhou, felt even more regretful. How could such a good-looking person be a fool?

Thinking of this, his face turned red.

Jin Xiaofeng's mother, Madame Liu, had a pretty good appearance. She was already nineteen years old and should have been married off, but she had always thought highly of herself.

As he thought about it, he saw that there were four people standing by the entrance to the well. Grandma De Qing was the most respected person in the village, and no one dared to refute her when she said her words; Wei Qing had also stood upright and dignified by the side, and the villagers could not even straighten their back when they saw him; however, at this moment, the two of them stood beside the two, one old and the other young, their auras completely gone, and they were not even comparable to servants.

How did that old housekeeper even look like a housekeeper? Just saying that he was a great old master from the city was naturally convincing. The aura that emanated from his entire body made one not dare to look directly at him.
