The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

The thug who followed him pouted: "I've seen many tough guys. You are so arrogant. Sixth Master, let me teach him a lesson."

The middle-aged man called Sixth Master showed appreciation: "Hey, I told you we are businessmen. Harmony brings wealth."

The drunken father woke up dazed and glimpsed the silver coins, trying to grab them like a vicious dog pouncing on its food: "Money, I have money."

Wei Cheng tightly grasped the silver coins and pushed his father, who was much taller than him, "Don't move. This money is not for you."

"I'm your father, who else should you give your money to if not me? Let me go!" The father tried to snatch it away.

Wei Cheng refused to give it to him no matter what, and he would not let go even when he was thrown to the ground in a mess.

He glared at his father angrily, hating him to death.

The drunk man only had money in his eyes, and he pounced on his son fiercely, pinned him to the ground and robbed him.

Mr. Liu stood up and walked over, effortlessly pulling the drunk man away, and kicked him to the ground with a kick.

Two thugs immediately stepped forward, kicking and cursing.

"How dare you snatch the things given to Master Liu? Are you tired of living?"

The Sixth Master looked down at the young man on the ground and said, "I'll take your money. See you in three days."

After saying that, he smiled and walked out of the dilapidated house.

The thug spat at the drunkard and followed him, cursing.

A thug took the silver from the boy and patted his head: "Sixth Master gave you a chance, you must seize it."

Wei Cheng ignored the scratches on his body and immediately jumped up to pack his things.

My father was knocked unconscious, so now was a good time to run.

He packed his few belongings, carried his sister on his back and rushed into the city. Only when his sister was safe could he focus on the next thing.

Shangguan Mansion. Luowan Courtyard.

Yinhua entered the room and reported: "Miss, I have ordered someone to beat Wu Laowu out with sticks."

Shangguan Haitong put down his pen and responded softly.

Yinhua went over to grind ink and said, "There are many people discussing this. The young lady is in charge of the household affairs. Will the salary and bonus be restored? The lady has just been laid off. If she wants to change it, she can. Everyone is having a hard time."

Shangguan Haitong picked up the pen and changed to a blank piece of paper and continued writing: "Mother's decision is very good, there is no need to change it. Xiaoqi's family should indeed be simple and frugal. What's more, mother just gave the order, and as a daughter, you changed it right after. No matter how you look at it, it is inappropriate."

Huan Shuang, who was hanging the calligraphy pieces to dry, said unhappily, "Yinhua, why are you speaking for them? On normal days, during festivals and happy events, the rewards given to those people are always more or less. Now that the mansion is hosting two major events in succession, how much silver is there to squander?"

Yinhua naturally knew.

What people who make a living care about most is just a few pieces of silver. Who wouldn't want to get more?

Huan Shuang snorted, "How much benefit did they give you to assign you to question the girl? You are even more ignorant of the rules."

"How could I accept benefits? Don't accuse me. I just mentioned it casually. Look how anxious you are." Yinhua was helpless.

Shangguan Haitong said, "Okay, I know you are doing this for my own good. You guys quarreled over a small matter."

Yinhua sighed silently.

Huanshuang was so angry that she didn't say anything. They were the girl's personal maids and should put the girl first in everything.

At this time, the maid outside the house reported: "Miss, Wei Cheng is back. He brought a little girl with him."

Shangguan Haitong put down the brush and looked at the two of them: "Let's go. Let's go see the little girl."

Yinhua bowed. Huanshuang nodded.

Shangguan Haitong shook her head with amusement, tidied up her dress and went to the hall to meet people.

in the hall.

Wei Cheng was carrying a bag and holding his sister. When he saw his master coming in, he immediately knelt down.

Shangguan Haitong sat in the main seat: "Okay, no need to be polite. She is your sister?"

"Yes." Wei Cheng knelt straight, his tone suppressing anger, "I didn't know until I got home that my father sold my sister for fifty taels. If I hadn't returned early, my sister would have... The leader called me Sixth Master, and gave me three days to pay back the money. I beg the master to show mercy, Wei Cheng is willing to work like a cow or a horse."

Sixth Master?

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "Huan Shuang, let's settle the little girl first."

"Hey." Huanshuang went up to hug the little girl, and when she got closer she found that her face was blushing.

After touching him, she realized he had a high fever. She and Yinhua quickly took him to the guest room to find a doctor to get some medicine.

Wei Cheng felt relieved that his sister was being taken care of. But where could he find fifty taels?

Shangguan Haitong stood up and walked slowly forward, with a smile on her lips as she looked at the young man who was bowing to money.

Wei Cheng was so terrified that he didn't dare to look up.

Shangguan Haitong's eyes were terrifyingly calm. "I can keep your sister by my side and take care of her, or I can pay off your debt with fifty taels, or even guarantee you a prosperous and prosperous future. Wei Cheng, show me your worth."

The majestic and oppressive gaze made Wei Cheng sweat coldly. He bowed down and tremblingly answered, "Yes."

Room.

Wei Cheng saw the doctor to the door.

Huan Shuang ordered the maid to boil some medicine: "The little girl is weak, so just take good care of herself."

Wei Cheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Sister Huan Shuang. My sister has been weak and sickly since she was a child. I'll trouble you to take care of her in the future."

Huan Shuang covered her lips and chuckled: "You are too polite. You haven't told me the girl's name yet."

"Lingbo, Wei Lingbo." Wei Cheng's words were full of pride.

"Nice name. I know the girl has something for you to do, so go quickly. I'll be watching here." Huanshuang waved her hand with a smile.

Wei Cheng bowed again and turned to leave.

Huanshuang looked at his back and smiled, he is a good brother.

Wei Lingbo took the medicine, but his condition recurred at night.

Huanshuang took care of her all night and only walked out of the room yawning in the morning.

Shangguan Haitong told her to go to bed quickly and rest well before coming back to serve her.

Yinhua nodded: "I am here with you, young lady."

Huanshuang went to sleep peacefully.

Shangguan Haitong finished washing up and looked outside. No news yet?

After breakfast, Aunt Zhou went to the main courtyard to serve.

Yang Lanyi hasn't recovered yet, she is still worried and not in a good mood.

Aunt Zhou smiled and comforted her: "Sister, you are too worried. Yesterday, Wu Laowu drank too much and died of drunkenness at home."

"Really?" Yang Lanyi was shocked, as if a stone pressing on her heart was lifted.

Nodding, Aunt Zhou gently massaged the mistress's legs: "That's right. It happened last night and was only discovered this morning."

Yang Lanyi breathed a sigh of relief and clasped her hands together: "Thank God, thank God. This is retribution."

Aunt Zhou lowered her eyes and smiled.

Is it retribution? It's hard to say. It's just a coincidence. He was kicked out of the house yesterday and died at night.

Late courtyard.

Wei Cheng rushed back exhausted, knelt on one knee and reported: "It's done."

Shangguan Haitong looked at the young man and found that he had some shadow of a future general.

She ordered Yinhua to bring sixty taels: "You have done a good job. Fifty taels is used to repay the debt, and the rest is reward money. Sixth Master has some connections, you should make good contact with him. In addition, you and your brothers must learn to read and write. I want you to be both civil and military."

Wei Cheng took the silver and was greatly surprised. How did his master know that he had a group of brothers?

Some of them are children I grew up with in the village, and some are orphans I met after moving to the city.

They were like-minded and treated each other as brothers. The master knew more and was more terrifying than he imagined.

Wei Cheng bowed his head and said, "Yes. Thank you for the reward, Master."
