Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11335

Upon hearing this, Master Hu Xuesong quickly asked his servants to help him change his clothes. He sat upright, ready to go over and apologize in person again when the general's wife called him.

It was not until this time of night that another servant came back with news.

"Did the general's wife ask me to come over?" Master Hu Xuesong asked before the servant spoke.

The servant was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, the general's wife did not summon you, and the general has not returned yet. However, the two old masters took a group of servants, armed with weapons, and went out with lanterns and torches, heading towards the deserted house on Yingjiang Temple West Street."

"Ah? What are you doing there so late at night?"

"I heard they were going to destroy the house."

"Why did they destroy the house? Which deserted house? Could it be the house that frightened these women during the day?"

"Master is wise, that's right!"

Master Hu Xuesong paced a few steps on the spot, "Go and check who owns that abandoned house?"

Soon, the servant came back.

Whispered a few words into Master Hu Xuesong's ear.

Master Hu Xuesong's face changed drastically, "Master Wangchen? How could he? He is a great monk, how could the mundane things of the world, such as real estate and land deeds, be worthy of his attention?"

When talking about Master Wangchen, Master Hu Xuesong couldn't help but look respectful.

Because Master Wangchen has a very high reputation in the circles of large and small families and gentry in Qing'an County, he is a guest of honor in these families.

Whether it is weddings, funerals, housewarmings or other ceremonies, everyone is proud to invite Master Wangchen to preside over them.

Even Hu Xuesong himself was a pilgrim of Yingjiang Temple and had met Master Wangchen several times, but his status and position were not enough to invite Master Wangchen to his home as a guest.

"This is what I just found out from a maid in the He family. It cannot be false. They did bring people to destroy the abandoned house, and the abandoned house is indeed Master Wangchen's secret property!" The servant lowered his voice and repeated it again.

Hu Xuesong pulled his beard and paced back and forth, pondering the mysterious relationship here.

"Could it be that... this time the general and his wife have a grudge against Master Wangchen?"

"Master, my son-in-law also sent you a message earlier, telling you not to have any other thoughts this time. People cannot be indecisive. Only by sticking to one path can you achieve results!"

"Although Master Wangchen is a local tyrant, the general and his wife are powerful and influential. We don't care about anything and just need to do our own job well!"

"Oh... I understand. Go and gather all our servants. Now, immediately, take them to the abandoned house on West Street by the river and help destroy it!"

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Master Hu Xuesong's many years of experience as an official and a human being told him that instead of going to the gate of the He family's courtyard every day to be humble and fawning, trying to please the other party and be fearful and trepidatious in order to win the other party's forgiveness, he should not continue to make things difficult for the Hu family... Sometimes the most direct method may make people disgusted. Perhaps if he changes his thinking, the situation may be resolved.

Therefore, since the general and his wife want to deal with Master Wangchen, no matter what the reason is, Hu Xuesong intends to place his bets on the general and his wife.

You know, although the general and his wife are powerful newcomers, the general's brother-in-law is the new governor of Changhuai Prefecture and the top leader. Therefore, the real local tyrant is not the old monk Wangchen, but the Yang family and the Luo family.

Besides, that old bald donkey Wang Chen never gave me face in the past. I invited him to my house several times, but he refused to come. So I sent a little monk named Fan Ji to come over to check in and go through the formalities. After that, he asked for a lot of incense money...

"By the way, the craftsmen who repaired our house last time were pretty good. Go and call them along, so we can demolish it faster!" "Okay, sir. I'll go right away!"

"Also, when you get there, don't rush to take credit, just work hard!" Hu Xuesong stopped the servant again and repeatedly reminded him, "You need to let the other party notice you and come over to ask you. Only then can you tell them where you are."

"Don't worry, Master. I know how to do it so it won't seem so deliberate!"

"Oh, yes, yes, that's what I mean. If you can handle this matter well, I will definitely give you some benefits later. Go quickly!"

……

Yang Ruoqing only had one breakfast a day, and she ate it a little early, in order to make time to take the children to Yingjiang Temple in the morning.

After a series of events happened later, I couldn’t even have time to eat lunch, let alone dinner!

Yang Huazhong and his friends had already had dinner before leaving, so at this moment, Yang Ruoqing came to the cafeteria to eat accompanied by Xiaohua.

The meals were prepared by two maids of the He family and were kept warm in the pot.

"Hua'er, why haven't you eaten yet?" In the dining hall, Yang Ruoqing saw the maid take out two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and immediately knew that Xiaohua must be busy taking care of Sun and the others, so she put her own affairs last.

"Sister, I'm not hungry." Xiaohua said.

Yang Ruoqing looked at Xiaohua's haggard face and felt a surge of heartache.

"I was originally planning to happily send you and your mother off to Changhuai Prefecture, but I didn't expect something like this to go wrong halfway. I feel really sorry..."

Xiao Hua raised her head and smiled at Yang Ruoqing gently: "Sister, why are you saying such things? This is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame that old bald donkey Wang Chen!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yes, that's true."

"Okay, let's stop talking about that and eat."

"After you have eaten and drunk enough, I will send more people to escort you and your mother to Changhuai Prefecture tomorrow."

Xiaohua had already picked up her chopsticks when she heard Yang Ruoqing say it was time to eat, but when she heard the last sentence, she put down her chopsticks in surprise.

"Sister, why? Why do you want to send us away early?"

"Aren't you worried about your anxiety and Daan's anxiety?"

"Sister!" Xiaohua put down her chopsticks heavily. She was very anxious at this moment, even to the point of redness in her eyes. However, her anxiety was not because she was in a hurry to go to Changhuai Prefecture, but because she was anxious to reverse Yang Ruoqing's arrangement.

"Sister, since we are all here together, we should also go to Changhuai Prefecture together. Isn't this what we have discussed before?"

"Yes, this was indeed what we had discussed before, but plans cannot keep up with changes. Look at our mother's condition... I'm afraid she will be sick for the next few days."

"Sister, it's precisely because of our mother's condition that I can't leave with peace of mind!" Xiaohua said.

"If Daan knew about this, he would definitely be worried and would definitely want me to stay with mom and take care of her!"

"Sister, we are not in a hurry, really, if you let us stay, we can advance and retreat together as a family!"
