Wang Yongzhu listened closely, isn’t that Jian Huaifeng’s voice? Did he finish discussing matters with Song Chongjin?
Sure enough, the curtain was lifted, and Song Chongjin and Jian Huaifeng walked in one after the other.
The visiting wonfolk didn’t expect to et Lord Song. They had only seen him from a distance yesterday, but seeing him up close today, oh my goodness! No wonder Miss Niu was infatuated. Indeed, Lord Song was born with handso features, a powerful presence, and a manner that was nothing short of extraordinary.
If they were ten or twenty years younger, they wouldn’t be able to help but let their hearts fall for Lord Song.
Song Chongjin coldly swept his gaze across the room, and these wonfolk suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly kneeling down to pay respects to Song Chongjin.
Song Chongjin rely said in a cold voice, "Get up."
He then stepped forward, intending to walk over to Wang Yongzhu.
Halfway there, Lady Fang gritted her teeth and secretly pushed Miss Niu.
Miss Niu had a stroke of inspiration, imdiately covering her chest and, in a soft and delicate manner, crying while throwing herself toward Song Chongjin.
She cried, "My lord, my lord, I am wronged! Please, my lord, make things right, otherwise I won’t have the face to live in this world—"
While throwing herself, she didn’t forget to tug at her clothes and adjust the hair at her temples, heading straight for Song Chongjin’s chest.
Wang Yongzhu had originally risen and taken a couple of steps to greet Song Chongjin.
Seeing this scene, she stopped, watching Song Chongming with a half-smile.
Song Chongjin only felt a fragrant breeze blow towards him, quickly covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, taking a sidestep, and kicked out a foot.
There was a "bang—" sound, a pink silhouette arced through the air, hit the wall, fell onto a chair, and then rolled to the ground.
Miss Niu didn’t let out so much as a groan, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Song Chongjin still had an angry face, saying, "How could there be an assassin?"
What the heck an assassin!
The whole room was stunned by Song Chongjin’s kick, including Old Granny Zhang.
Jian Huaifeng blinked for a while before coming to his senses, coughed, and chid in, "Indeed, how did you let an assassin sneak in? If it weren’t for the lord’s alertness, what if the elderly lady and madam were hard, how would you explain that?"
Song Xiaoyin and his brothers exchanged glances, but they soon ca back to their senses, bowing their heads, "It was indeed our dereliction! We also didn’t expect the assassin to blend in with the wonfolk! We’ll go check right away!"
Old Granny Zhang also realized, her previous aggressive deanor instantly changing, clutching her chest, and crying out in fear, "Oh my goodness, there’s an assassin on the ship! It scared to death!"
Wang Yongzhu stifled a laugh, half-hugged by Song Chongjin, shielding the wonfolk’s view, and winked at her, silently saying, "How did your husband perform?"
Wang Yongzhu nodded, then turned to hold on to Old Granny Zhang, "Mother, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid! My husband is here! It’s okay, it’s okay!"
The mother and daughter, holding each other, suppressed their laughter so much they trembled, which to outsiders seed as though they were shaking in fear.
Over there, Jian Huaifeng, acting serious, stepped forward, looked over the unconscious Miss Niu for a long ti, and then cupped his hands toward Song Chongjin, "My lord, I suggest a thorough investigation! It’s possible this is a remnant of the water bandits! They should all be taken down for a good interrogation!"
Upon hearing these words, Lady Fang’s vision went black, and she fainted from fright.
The other wonfolk, too, were so scared that their legs went weak, kneeling on the ground and unable to stop claiming innocence, "My lord, my lord, we’re innocent!"
"We are from a respectable family! We really aren’t water bandits!"
"Yes, my lord, my husband is nad Bao, he is the chubby one, dark-skinned, looks like a bear. Not only him, but our whole family is also deeply grateful for the lord’s life-saving grace, how could we be water bandits?"
"My lord, we really are innocent! It’s the Niu family, yes, it’s the Niu family’s mother and daughter, they ran to our ship early saying they wanted to visit the madam, to thank her! We all just wanted to thank the madam and the lord, that’s why we ca together!"
"Yes, yes! If there’s an issue, it’s the Niu family to bla! It truly has nothing to do with us—"
...
These wonfolk, scared out of their wits, desperately tried to prove their innocence, shifting the bla away.
In an instant, they all resented the Niu mother and daughter. If it weren’t for them insisting on visiting the madam, where would this sudden calamity have co from?
Once one of them spoke this out loud, the others imdiately put all the bla on the Niu mother and daughter.
Song Chongjin signaled to Jian Huaifeng, who imdiately understood.
Originally, they were in the next cabin, and with the window open, they heard everything from that side clearly.
At first, when Miss Niu’s half-spoken words were covered by Lady Fang, Jian Huaifeng had even jokingly congratulated, "Congratulations to the lord for having beauties throwing themselves at you—"
And was glared back at by Song Chongjin.
Later, hearing that Miss Niu wanted to jump into the river, Jian Huaifeng couldn’t sit still and wanted to co over and deal with it, but saw Song Chongjin unmoved, which made him puzzled.
Until he heard Wang Yongzhu’s few words make Miss Niu dare not jump.
Jian Huaifeng then understood why Song Chongjin wasn’t anxious, grateful that the young couple was so in sync.
Once things settled down, that’s when they ca forward.
At the mont he got Song Chongjin’s signal, Jian Huaifeng imdiately caught on, gesturing for Song Xiaoyin and his brothers to co in, all with intimidating, nacing looks, hands resting on the hilts of their swords, radiating murderous energy.
These wonfolk had never seen such fierce n before, each of them trembling, not daring to make a sound, obediently and honestly walking outside.
As for the fainted Lady Fang and Miss Niu, due to the difference in gender.
They had to instruct Old Madam Ding and Old Granny Wu to co in and drag the two out.
Old Madam Ding and Old Granny Wu had heard everything, how could they treat Lady Fang’s mother and daughter nicely?
Regardless of anything, they dragged the two out roughly.
Once everyone left, only the three of them remained. Old Granny Zhang then pushed Wang Yongzhu away, couldn’t help but rub her belly, and glanced at Song Chongjin with mock scolding, "You brat, you’ve gotten quite mischievous!"
Song Chongjin just smiled without saying a word.
Old Granny Zhang was in a very good mood; her son-in-law was so considerate, she needed to reward him well.
Rolling up her sleeves, "Mother is happy today, I’ll personally cook for you so of your favorite dishes!"
Saying this, she left briskly.
Leaving only Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu, the two of them exchanged a glance and couldn’t hold back a chuckle.
After a while, Wang Yongzhu finally said, "You really don’t pity the fairer sex, such a big beauty, and you still had it in you to kick her?"
Song Chongjin justified, "Apart from my wife, all the fair won in the world are just skeletons! Besides, on such a hot day, it’s already stifling, and then she suddenly threw herself over, the scent of that powder almost knocked out, wasn’t she trying to kill ? What else could she be but an assassin?"
