C42 Relatives (2/2)
The love of adventure was the nature of most men. Unchanging days tend to make people yearn for a wild and unrestrained life.
Lu Zhinan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile that gradually deepened, ”The villagers are actually thanking the Heavenly Master Fang. What does it have to do with us? ”
Liu Cheng panicked: No, Young Marquis, those stink bombs that covered the sky and the earth were all thanks to us.
Lu Zhinan nodded his head, and said: ”You're right, I can give you guys a credit based on these.”
Liu Cheng raised his chin and said proudly: ”Of course.”
At this time, a person walked in from outside. That person was skinny and had a slightly haggard appearance, and was precisely Wang Bo who was bewitched by the fox spirit Hu Mei.
Wang Bo didn't think that Lu Zhinan would already be back. He promptly bowed and said: ”Greetings, Little Marquis Lord.”
Lu Zhinan said: ”No need for formalities. Wang Bo, has your body recovered yet? ”Why aren't you resting at home and running to the yamen?”
Wang Bo had a bitter smile on his face as he said, ”With your blessings, Young Marquis, your health is great. At home, it would be boring. It would be better to go to the yamen to do something. ”
When he closed his eyes, he could still hear her soft voice calling his name, but when he opened his eyes, she was gone.
After some time had passed, Wang Bo finally opened his eyes. He knew very well that Hu Mei did not have any friendship with him, and could only use him. However, it would still take some time to get out of this relationship.
Liu Cheng walked up and slapped Wang Bo's shoulder, and laughed: ”That's right, returning to the yamen to spend time with my brothers, just like before, eating meat and drinking wine in big mouthfuls, how joyous.”
Wang Bo pursed his lips and smiled, sighing: ”You're right. ”I haven't gone on a mission with my brothers in a while. Is there anything new recently?”
”Of course there is. How exciting.”
Liu Cheng was beaming with joy, and told the whole of Xiuquan Mountain's experience.
At the beginning, Wang Bo was very patient as he listened, he frowned even more. After hearing the end, he could not help but turn to Lu Zhinan and ask, ”Young Marquis, may I dare to ask, is this Lord He Hao's wife, Lady Wang, from the Su Province?”
Lu Zhinan thought for a while, then said: ”The ancestor of the Mrs. Wang, is indeed from Su Province. According to reports, the ancestors of the Mrs. Wang had moved to the Jinling very early on and had been doing business. After the death of Mrs. Wang, the Wang family and the He family had a big fight and their relationship ended there. Later on, when war broke out frequently and the dynasty was set up, the Mrs. Wang's family members went back to the Su Province to seek help from the Wang Clan Lord. ”
Hearing Lu Zhinan's words, Wang Bo's expression became a little dejected.
Liu Cheng was surprised, and asked: ”Wang Bo, what's wrong? ”Is there something you need?”
Wang Bo's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. In the end, he could not help but open his mouth and said: ”My ancestor is also the Wang clan of Su Prefecture. This Mrs. Wang is a distant relative of mine. ”
”What?”
Furthermore, ghost evil was Wang Bo's relative, everyone present was dumbstruck.
Lu Zhinan's eyes flashed, and with a heavy tone, he asked. ”Wang Bo, are you sure?”
Wang Bo fell silent, then sighed and said: ”Our Wang Clan is from the Su Province, and can be considered a Venerable Family. There were many branches in the clan, but there were two in Jinling.
One of them is my great-grandfather. Because he joined the army, he settled down in Jinling. The other one was my distant wife's great-uncle and grandfather. That elder was a businessman and his family was very wealthy. The two of us had only occasionally met, so we weren't really close.
Later on, they heard that there was an aunt of the Wang family who had married a poor scholar's daughter and died when she was very young. And then, the Wang family went on and on and on and gradually declined, so they went back to the main house in Suzhou. ”
