The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 381 Wang Liulang's Child Bride

Normally, Ouyang Changjing is not as gentle in his dealings with others as he is now.

As the crown prince of a country, even if he has a strong and capable father who is in the prime of his life and is responsible for important national affairs, he himself must be able to live up to the title of crown prince.

Therefore, it's necessary for your hands to be dirty.

But he couldn't bring himself to harm this family in front of him.

Not only him, but even Ouyang Pei, who had been shouting for violence, was as quiet as a quail and did not offer any cruel suggestions.

Ye Yuncang remained a bystander throughout the entire process; if it weren't for the 1000 taels of silver, he wouldn't have even said those words.

Ouyang Pei was filled with endless regret. Just that one short sentence had cost him 1000 taels of silver!
"Should I say a few more words for you?" Ye Yuncang asked kindly.

Ouyang Pei: "...I won't pay."

"Never mind, I didn't ask." Ye Yuncang.

Ouyang Pei: "..."

Now he understood why Ye Yuncang's Buddhist name was Yun Gou.

That's not some cowardly survival, it's the lowest of the low!

With Yunzhi's mediation, both sides finally agreed to give each other a day to calm down. This was not to discuss where Xiao Ayu would go, but to use the day to persuade the other party.

Ouyang Changjing led his group away, but they didn't go far. Instead, they went directly to the house next door and knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, do you rent out your yard?" Ye Yuncang asked with a smile as he stepped forward.

Although his appearance was somewhat strange, his face was very approachable, so the other party did not mistake him for a bad guy.

He just looked at me like I was a fool: "We didn't ask anyone to help us rent it out."

“Then you can have this idea now,” Ye Yuncang added before the other party could refuse, “How about we calculate it at fifty taels of silver per day?”

The people inside were stunned for a moment, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Ye Yuncang.

The person in front of me seemed even more foolish.

Ye Yuncang looked at Ouyang Pei behind him.

Ouyang Pei stepped forward silently, took out two gold leaves from his waist, and handed them to the man.

The gold leaf was extremely heavy and made in the Great Chang Kingdom. It could be exchanged for more than 50 taels of silver at several large silver shops.

Ordinary people don't need this, but people living in the town generally recognize it.

Not long ago, Zhang Zhancai sent people to various towns and villages to give lectures, so that the people could recognize these gold and silver coins and avoid using counterfeit money.

The man's eyes widened when Ouyang Pei took out the gold leaf.

"Here, the rent for the next two days."

The man caught the gold leaf, glanced at Ouyang Pei, and then at Ye Yuncang.

He turned around and shouted inside, "Boss, eldest son, second son, and all you little brats, didn't we say we were moving today? What are you dawdling in there for? Come out and make room for our esteemed guest!"

The head of the household, who was just about to go repair the roof, thought: "?"

When are they moving?
Fifteen minutes later, the family went out beaming with joy.

Ouyang Changjing and his group moved in.

Wang Dalang, who was following behind them, saw them enter the neighboring courtyard and hurriedly went back to report to Old Mrs. Wang.

Grandma Wang: "Don't worry about it. Aren't you going back to the village? Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Wang Chuanfu: "Mother, what's going on? How dare I go back?"

If they go back, those people will take advantage of their numbers and kidnap Ayu, and her family will suffer a great loss.

Wang Chuanfu wasn't that careless.

Feng, who had been silent all along, also said, "Yes, those people were clearly well-prepared. Our family has the advantage of having many people, and we can't afford to lose any now."

“Didn’t you all notice? The person who was talking to Mother has eyes that look a lot like Ayu’s.” Wang Chuangui pointed to his eyes and said quietly, “Although the line in his eye is very faint, it is still exactly the same as Ayu’s. Even if they are not related, they may be from the same clan or lineage.”

This is why Wang Chuangui doesn't talk much.

Previously at Qingmu Academy, Wang Chuangui had learned a lot of sophistry. If he hadn't noticed the strangeness in Ouyang Changjing's eyes just now, he would have used his eloquence to debate with the scholars on the spot.

Grandma Wang snorted coldly: "I don't care where he's from."

Let alone now, even back then, if someone had tried to take Ayu away, Old Mrs. Wang would have fought them with a knife. Such a well-behaved and adorable granddaughter—who knows if her good-for-nothing sons could even have her.

If you manage to find even one, it's a blessing from your ancestors!
"Old woman, what do you suggest we do? They seem to be rich and powerful, how can we, ordinary folks, possibly compete with them? Why don't we move out tonight and go back to Hujia Village, and try to make do in the cave on the cliff first?" Old Wang suggested.

Others thought it was unreliable, but upon further reflection, they couldn't think of a better way.

Yes, their family has only produced one scholar who passed the imperial examination.

But there's still a huge gap between a scholar and an official; if the other party tries to bully others, they might not be able to defeat them.

Those who act in accordance with the times are the heroes.

There's nothing shameful about running away if you can't win a fight.

Grandma Wang sat calmly in the main seat and took a sip of tea that had gone cold.

"Alright, go do your own thing. It's quite a feat for your little brains to think so much." Old Mrs. Wang shooed them away like flies.

Only Old Wang was left.

Old Wang looked at Old Mrs. Wang, and the two only exchanged glances for a moment before understanding each other's thoughts.

"You want me to..."

Before Old Wang could finish speaking, Old Mrs. Wang nodded.

"No matter what, Ayu must not be taken away by anyone."

The other party's abrupt arrival demanding people made it difficult to discern their loyalty from their treachery.

It's impossible to give it to someone else.

Unless they have very good reason and can guarantee Ayu absolute freedom and happiness.

“We can’t let Ayu go with them. If I’m not mistaken, they are either officials or nobles. If Ayu goes back with them, how can she be as carefree as she is now?” Old Wang said, having already made up his mind. “Alright, I’ll handle this.”

At worst, they could try to persuade the deity beside Ayu.

If the gods agree that Ayu should go with them, Ayu herself is willing, and she has no right to stop them.

Everything is based on the premise that they would never harm Ayu.

In the afternoon, Xiao Ayu happily went back to Old Wang's house with Wang Liulang.

Before entering the house, she glanced at the yard next door and said to the person lying on the eaves, "Uncle, it's so dirty up there, washing clothes is such a hassle. Our uncle doesn't play up there anymore."

Ouyang Changjing's bodyguard: "..."

Red Hare, Red Serpent, and the others hidden in the background: "..."

Little Ayu was completely unaware of what she had just revealed, and skipped and hopped into the Wang family's house.

She had barely reached the door when she started shouting, "Grandma, I've found a wife for my sixth brother!"

She had barely finished speaking when she heard a panting sound behind her.

"Wait...wait...wait for me!" Zhang Qiaosi ran out of breath, lifting her little skirt as she followed Xiao Ayu, also calling out into the yard.

"Grandma, hello! I'm the future wife of your Wang Ruyu's sixth brother. I've come to your family to be your child bride!"

The Wang family members who heard the commotion: "..."

The Zhang family servants following behind: "..."

Wang Liulang, who was holding Xiao Ayu's hand, slammed his foot on the threshold with a loud bang.

It fell face down.

The lamb beside him suddenly took off running, its fluffy head landing right under Wang Liulang's body.

Wang Liulang wasn't seriously injured, but his ribs were broken by the lamb's two hard horns.

Wang Liulang: "..."

Perhaps this is what my second brother often refers to as bad luck in the coming year.

That concludes today's update. Next up is an extra chapter for those who receive a large donation.

I don't know how much I can write, I'll just write as much as I can and update as I can until 12 o'clock.

After midnight, I'll have to continue working overtime.
