The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang carried Wang Yi onto the carriage, and then asked Xiao Rui and Hua Shu to tidy up a little and return to the Wang family with him.

The two girls had been living in the brothel for a year and had become more or less prostitutes. Wang Gang asked them to change into ordinary clothes and dress more simply.

While Wang Gang was waiting outside, he checked on Wang Yi's condition.

Wang Yi had been weak since childhood. Although he had sought treatment from a famous doctor, he was not destined to live a long life. Moreover, he had been indulging himself in his behavior during this period, which had actually drained his body.

After Wang Gang took Wang Yi's pulse, he found that he had only half a year to live at most.

Perhaps Wang Yi himself knew that his life would soon end, so he acted more unscrupulously, even going so far as to murder Miss Chai.

Wang Gang actually didn't care much about his fiancée. Not to mention that Chai Ruyi was only the fiancée of his predecessor Wang Gang, Wang Gang didn't take it to heart at all.

Ultimately, Wang Gang was still worried that Wang Yi would no longer be under control, bringing disaster to himself and the Wang family.

In this era, there was no such thing as one person taking responsibility for one's own actions. The execution of nine clans or the extermination of three clans were common occurrences.

If there is a bad apple in a family, it will really drag down the whole family.

Logically speaking, if Wang Gang secretly killed Wang Yi, that would be the end of everything. He had no feelings for this big brother, so he naturally had no guilt in killing him.

However, Wang Gang felt that there was something strange about Wang Yi's behavior, and it seemed that there was a dark force behind it, so Wang Yi could not die for the time being.

While Wang Gang was thinking, several people from the Li family suddenly appeared, disrupting his thoughts.

"Lord Wang." Li Wuniang Leshan greeted Wang Gang when she saw him from afar, bringing Wang Gang back to his senses.

Wang Gang discovered that the five sisters of the Li family and their mother Lady Li were walking towards him.

"Madam Li." Wang Gang glanced at the carriage behind him and lowered the curtain, but he was still a step too slow.

"Sir Wang, you are here indeed." Madam Li said with a smile, "I just went to the Wang family with my daughters, and the housekeeper said that you were out for something."

While speaking, Madam Li glanced at the carriage and must have seen Wang Yi lying inside.

Wang Gang said: "My elder brother got drunk while meeting a friend, so I went to pick him up and take him home."
Madam Li suddenly realized, and then said: "Thank you Lord Wang for your help last night. My five daughters were so bold that they dared to sneak into Panlou disguised as men. If we hadn't met Lord Wang, I don't know what kind of joke we would have made."
Wang Gang glanced at the five sisters of the Li family and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, don't worry about it! You came to see me so late, is there something wrong?"

Madam Li shook her head and said, "No, no, I just wanted to express my gratitude to Lord Wang in person. As for coming here, it was because Auntie said that the house here is nice and brought me here to have a look."

Wang Gang was stunned and couldn't help but look at Li Shouhua.

"Lord Wang, we are planning to settle down in Bian Jing and are looking for a house to live in. When we left in the morning, we saw many vacant houses around, so we came here to take a look. We didn't expect to meet you." Li Shouhua explained.

"I see." Wang Gang smiled and said, "The environment here is quiet in a busy city, and it is located in the core area of ​​the inner city. The location is really good! But the housing prices here are not cheap either."

Li Shouhua said: "It's cheaper than living in an inn all the time. We want to start some small business in Bianjing after we settle down."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "If you need any help, you can come to Kaifeng Prefecture to find me."

Madam Li rubbed her hands and said, "Sir Wang, I heard from Shouhua that your house has been vacant for a long time. Can you consider renting it out?"

"Mom." Li Shouhua quietly pulled his mother's sleeve.

Madam Li said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? Lord Wang is not an outsider."

The five sisters of the Li family had different expressions, and they all guessed what their mother was thinking.

Mrs. Li didn't want to rent a house from Wang Gang, she just wanted to establish a relationship with him.

The Li family had just arrived in Bian Jing and had planned to take refuge with their in-laws, the Fan family. However, it turned out that Fan Lianghan was an unreliable person.

Only then did Mrs. Li turn her attention to Wang Gang.

The five sisters of the Li family had different thoughts about this. The eldest sister Shouhua felt that Wang Gang must have some ulterior motive for approaching the Li family without any reason. Although she didn't know what it was, it was better to keep a distance from him.

Second mother Fuhui and third mother Kangning didn't have so many thoughts, but they just felt embarrassed to always trouble Wang Gang.

Si Niang Haode and Wu Niang Leshan were very happy, especially Wu Niang Leshan, whose eyes were almost tearful when she looked at Wang Gang.

"Ms. Li, what a coincidence. I just lent this house to someone else today, so I'm afraid I can't rent it to you." Wang Gang apologized.

Madam Li's smile was a little stiff, and she said awkwardly: "Is it such a coincidence?"

Li Shouhua couldn't bear to watch it any longer and reminded his mother: "Mom, Lord Wang should be busy, let's not disturb him."

Madam Li said indifferently: "It's just a good opportunity to meet and chat with each other!"

Li Shouhua reminded quietly: "Lord Wang still has to send my brother home."

Mrs. Li finally reacted and glanced at the carriage.

At this time, Xiaorui and Huashu changed their clothes and walked out. They saw a group of people at the door and were a little confused.

"Second Young Master." Xiao Rui said.

The Li family members were also stunned when they saw Xiaorui and Huashu, especially Mrs. Li, whose eyes glanced back and forth between Xiaorui, Huashu and Wang Gang.

"Are these two the people that Lord Wang borrowed the house from?" Madam Li asked in surprise.

Although Xiaorui and Huashu changed into ordinary clothes, Madam Li still recognized their worldly air, and she immediately changed her mind.

"I heard that the high-ranking officials in Bianjing like to keep women outside as concubines. Could it be that Lord Wang is also that kind of person!?"

The way the five sisters of the Li family looked at Wang Gang also changed, especially Wu Niang Leshan, who couldn't believe it as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting.

Wang Gang explained: "These two were my former maids. They have nowhere to go for the time being, so they live here."

The corners of Madam Li's mouth twitched, and it was obvious that she didn't believe a word Wang Gang said!

Wang Gang was too lazy to explain. If he delayed any further, it would be troublesome if Wang Yi woke up.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Please do as you please."

Wang Gang asked Xiaorui and Huashu to get in the carriage, and then drove away directly.

Madam Li watched the carriage go away, unable to hide her disappointment!
"Lord Wang has not even gotten married yet, but he's already keeping a mistress outside. How disgraceful!" Madam Li sighed.

"Mom, this is someone else's business, why should you care about it?" said Aunt Shouhua.

"No, Lord Wang is not that kind of person. Didn't he say that those two women were just his maids?" Wu Niang Leshan said excitedly.

"If she was really a maid, why would she keep her outside?" Second Lady Fuhui said, "But it's not uncommon for high-ranking officials in Bianjing to keep mistresses. But Lord Wang has kept a mistress before he even got married. I'm afraid it will damage his reputation and he may even be impeached by the censors."

Madam Li was surprised and asked, "Is it that serious?"

Aunt Shouhua explained: "Officials also value reputation, especially those of noble character."

Madam Li said seriously: "Then this matter must not be spread out, and you should keep your mouths shut in the future, understand?"

Sanniang Kangning said: "Of course, Lord Wang has done a favor to our family, so we naturally cannot harm him."

"Let's go back to the inn first! Otherwise, the inner city will be closed again." Madam Li sighed and was not in the mood to look for a room. (End of this chapter)
