C74 (1/2)

Wen Jiu pondered about whether or not he should return to the General's Mansion.

The words Xie Xuan had said before he left, ”You wait for elder brother to take care of you!”, caused her to feel a little fidgety.

It was originally a matter for tomorrow, so there was no way he could hide it any longer.

I better go back and clarify this with Xie Heng.

Didn't the proverbs say that one should be honest and open-minded?

I hope it's not a lie.

When Wen Jiu returned to his residence, the sky was already so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers.

Knocking on the door, the maid with the lantern said: ”Young Madame is back.”

She was even feeling extremely guilty. ”Shh, be more gentle.”

Most of the people in the manor had already rested. The lanterns under the eaves swayed in the wind, and the dark clouds covered the crescent moon. They could only see the road ahead through the light of the fire.

”Softer.”

As Wen Jiu walked, he instructed the maid holding the lamp.

They walked through the long corridor and passed by Xie Heng's courtyard. Only when they saw that the lights had all been extinguished did they heave a sigh of relief.

Although he had never seen family rules before, he was still a bit afraid.

Just as he arrived at his own courtyard, Jin Er came out from his own courtyard to welcome him, ”Young Madame.”

”Go to the kitchen and get something to eat.”

Wen Jiu tapped on his shoulder with the invitation card and silver notes in his sleeve as he tried to think of how he would explain this matter to Xie Heng when he met him tomorrow morning.

As soon as he entered, he saw the youth in embroidered clothing standing next to the fish pond. He grabbed a handful of fish food and scattered it all over the place.

The candle flame dimmed, so the youth's expression could not be seen clearly.

Wen Jiu was slightly startled, and stood in place.

”What time is it now?”

Xie Heng also did not turn his head, but his gaze fell upon the Gesun Water Ripple, and his tone was neither cold nor indifferent.

”Around …” Wen Jiu looked at the sky. It was so dark that it was hard to tell when it was.

”Does Young Madame forget what I told you?”

When Xie Heng was not laughing, for some reason, he had an imposing manner.

Within a day, Wen Jiu was intimidated by the two young masters of the Xie Family. He was a little tired to the point that he couldn't speak, but he had no choice but to speak.

He could only explain softly, ”Today... The situation is special. ”

Xie Heng raised his hand and sent the fish food plate flying into the air, spinning it in mid-air. The fish food had all been scattered and the golden carp was scurrying all over the place, he caught it and looked back at her, ”How special is it?”

Wen Jiu raised his eyes and looked at him, ”The wife of the Marquis Yongchang Palace came to my winery to buy people, my shop only sells alcohol, where are you going to get her people to go? It's so worrisome! ”

After Xie Heng heard this, he could not help but laugh, ”So you made Xie Xuan so angry that he did not say a word?”

”Huh?”

Wen Jiu thought about it, ”I think so.”

Brother, you probably still don't know that the Marquis Yongchang Palace wanted to buy him, right?

He had to think carefully before he spoke. Otherwise, based on his temper, it would be terrible if he were to bring his sword to kill his way through the gates.

Xie Heng forced himself not to laugh and continued, ”Even so, there will still be punishment.”

”Eldest brother …”

Wen Jiu had been wronged.

Xie Heng said as he placed his face on the table, ”Go in yourself and finish all the food on the table.

Wen Jiu, ”...”

She was hungry and quickly thanked him, ”Thank you, Brother Zhang.”

”Go in.”

Xie Heng turned around and left, but just as he was about to go far away, he turned his head back and warned, ”Also, I'll punish you to not go out tomorrow.”

Wen Jiu said helplessly: ”The winery will open tomorrow. We'll punish it another day.”
