Capítulo 1355: Chapter 1355: Ninth Young Master Lee’s Unease
Upon thinking it over, Wang Yongzhu finally understood why Song Chongjin had brought up Ninth Master Lee.
It turns out, Ninth Master Lee was the big fool Song Chongjin had his eyes on!
At this mont, on the boat, with the window open, enjoying the river breeze, and a pot of fine wine with three or four side dishes in front of him, Ninth Master Lee, drinking alone and feeling quite content, suddenly sneezed.
The young servant attending him quickly stepped forward to close the window and brought him a thin cape, “Ninth Master, be careful not to catch a cold!”
Ninth Master Lee put down his wine cup and rubbed his nose, “Why do I feel like soone is thinking about ? I guess they’ve received the news and know I’m going to Jing County, so they’re talking about ?”
Speaking of this, Ninth Master Lee beca interested, “Wang Cai, don’t you think your master, falling from grace and leaving the Capital City to go to Jing County, should look haggard, with tattered clothes, best described as soone fleeing for his life with nothing to eat, to the point of being famished and emaciated, barely able to stand—”
Wang Cai, who had always been Ninth Master Lee’s trusted aide from outside, internalized his master’s words with a helpless expression, “Ninth Master, on this journey, you’ve done nothing but drink, without eating anything, if you continue like this, you’ll genuinely fit your description of being famished and emaciated, barely able to stand by the ti you reach Jing County!”
Hearing this, Ninth Master Lee glared at Wang Cai, “Nonsense! With my looks, even if I slim down a bit from hunger, I’d still be as graceful as a slender bamboo pine, with a delicate waist like a breeze, serene as a flower reflected on water, graceful in movent like a willow in the wind! Shedding a few pounds couldn’t diminish my handsoness in the least! Not to ntion, even if I cut my looks in half, I’d still be superior to that dark face of Song Chongjin!”
Wang Cai rolled his eyes, “Ninth Master, you’re going to Jing County to discuss collaboration with Lady Song. If Lady Song learns you disdain Lord Song—”
“Shut up! Go, go, go—” Ninth Master Lee irritably waved him away, signaling Wang Cai to leave.
Wang Cai quietly closed his mouth and went outside.
After Wang Cai left, Ninth Master Lee’s face turned solemn as he looked at the wine and dishes on the table in a daze.
This ti, leaving the Capital City, although he managed to escape unscathed, keeping Hongxiu Tianxiang, claiming Yingzi Gully’s tea mountain, and diversifying so business in Qingzhou Prefecture, he severed all ties with the Lee Family from now on.
Once regarded as one of the famously celebrated Four Young Masters of the Capital, after this, he was rely an outcast of the Lee Family.
The vast world outside seed to have nowhere for him after leaving the Capital City.
It was Gu Zikai who reminded him that since his share of the Hongxiu Tianxiang production area was in Jing County, and so was the tea mountain, plus Wang Yongzhu had returned to Jing County, he might as well go there.
On one hand, to formally take over the tea mountain, and on the other, to discuss plans with Wang Yongzhu, who might even have good ideas.
Ninth Master Lee thought it made sense too, staying in the Capital didn’t make him happy and was an inconvenience to others.
It would be better to leave decisively.
As he boarded the ship, the closer he got to Jing County, the more unsettled he felt.
Although the things he acquired seed like gold mines in the eyes of others, even doing nothing could allow him to live in luxury for a lifeti.
But to his ambitions, it was far from enough.
He resented the Lee Family! The mont he walked out of the Lee Family, he swore that when he returned, he would make everyone in the Lee Family regret it and treat him with utmost respect!
He knew to make the Lee Family regret, relying on himself alone would be a long way off, he needed external support.
When in the Capital, he had discreetly tried to make connections, but who dares to provoke the Lee Family and cooperate with him now?
Even Zhang Yinbao, were it not for the shares in Yingzi Gully’s tea mountain, would likely avoid him.
In this world, the only one he valued who would not reject him because of the Lee Family was Wang Yongzhu.
The question was, Wang Yongzhu was now the Magistrate’s Lady with a Grant, would she cooperate with him?
Wang Yongzhu, on the other hand, had no idea how unsettled Ninth Master Lee felt at the mont.
She and Song Chongjin had already made their plans and were waiting for Ninth Master Lee to arrive.
Slowly descending the mountain, the won had already prepared lunch.
All sorts of mountain delicacies, along with freshly caught fish from the stream, and wild vegetables.
After everyone had eaten, they looked at the sky, talking about heading down the mountain.
The won and n over there gathered their most precious items, eager to gift them to Wang Yongzhu.
While declining their offers, Wang Yongzhu continued her conversation with Yang Zhaodi, assuring her that Gu Yu was doing well and not to worry, bringing along the gifts Gu Yu prepared for them.
Yang Zhaodi had given birth to the child she was carrying, a boy who could already walk; she was also pregnant again, and her complexion looked much healthier than during her first pregnancy.
Previously, she might have dared to hold Wang Yongzhu’s hand, but she wouldn’t dare now, holding her son’s hand in one and cradling her belly with the other, thanked her profusely, “Thank you, Madam! My sister really shouldn’t have troubled you with gifts, isn’t this shortening our lifespan?”
“Please convey to my sister that I’m doing well, so she need not worry about us. Also, tell her that ho’s mutual support keeps everything well, and we’ve arranged a marriage contract for her, although it’s as a child bride, the family is decent. With us sisters looking after her, things will go well!”
“Let her just serve Madam earnestly! Should Madam find soone suitable for her, just marry her off directly. Don’t let her return—”
Wang Yongzhu nodded, understanding this was the utmost effort Yang Zhaodi could make for her sister.
Seeing Wang Yongzhu nodding, Yang Zhaodi finally sighed in relief but couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty, “Am I troubling Madam too much?”
Wang Yongzhu shook her head, “Not at all! Gu Yu is loyal, and we won’t mistreat her, rest assured! If you want to see her, once I return, I’ll send her into the mountains to et you?”
Now pregnant, Yang Zhaodi naturally couldn’t leave the mountain.
Seeing her eyes light up, Yang Zhaodi hesitated again and finally shook her head, “No need, just let her serve you well—”
Before finishing her sentence, there was a commotion outside, voices indistinct.
Soon, Wang Yongping entered with a solemn face, and after a mont, looking at Wang Yongzhu, said, “The village sent soone over to inform us, saying Song Chunhua poisoned the Song Family, poisoning about a dozen of them—”
What?
Wang Yongzhu was so shocked she jumped up, “Are they dead?”
Wang Yongping shook his head, “I don’t know! The village is in chaos now, the Lizheng has surrounded the Song Family and sent people for the Doctor, but it seems foreboding!”
“And, what about Song Chunhua?” Wang Yongzhu asked.
Wang Yongping sighed deeply, “After poisoning the Song Family, she hanged herself on the jujube tree in the Song Family Courtyard!”
