"Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, I have something to discuss. What do you think?"

Su Xuance looked at the two elders and asked them for their opinions.

Fang said considerately, "My dear son-in-law, if you have something to attend to, go ahead and do it. We're heading back home now."

Su Xuance bowed and left in a hurry.

He had just left.

Pei Mu stood up and paced back and forth: "Something's not right, something's very wrong."

"Alright, since the child doesn't want to talk, we'll ask him again next time." Madam Fang pinched his ear. "Let's go back to the manor!"

Pei Mu bent down to cooperate with her, saying, "Hey, we're still at the son-in-law's house, give me some face."

"You even know you're at your son-in-law's house. You were so imposing just now, you scared my precious Renbao."

"Wrong, wrong."

Renbao and Su Xuance hid in the alley and watched the two elders leave.

"Daddy, Grandma is so amazing! She can even pinch Grandpa's ear when he's wielding a big sword!" Renbao said with longing, then looked at Su Xuance, "Does Mommy pinch your ear too?"

Su Xuance didn't want to admit that he was also a henpecked husband in private.

He picked her up: "Your Uncle Jiang was beaten bloody, just as you said, that there would be bloodshed. Renbao, do you want to go see him?"

"look!"

.

A couple dressed in plain clothes looked greedily at the interior of Jin Yu Lou, touching this and that.

"Manager Jiang, are you alright?" Lai Cai was a twelve-year-old servant at Jin Yu Lou. Apart from his habit of stealing food, he was usually very clever.

He carefully wiped the blood from Jiang Huaijin's wounds with gauze, glaring resentfully at the couple who were groping him everywhere.

They waited outside Jin Yu Lou early in the morning, shouting that Manager Jiang was their son and demanding one hundred taels of silver.

Jiang Huaijin leaned back in his chair, his eyes filled with hatred. He tapped the table with his index finger: "Old man Jiang, the vases under your command are worth a hundred taels of silver. If they break, the owner will ask you to pay for them. Don't try to renege on your promise."

"Old Lady Li, the wine cup you're holding is made of Hetian jade. It costs ten taels. If you break it, remember to pay for it."

Upon hearing the price, Jiang Daniu's hands trembled with fear, and he immediately put the item down. He was also furious at Jiang Huaijin's attitude, glaring at him and shouting, "I'm your father! What, now that you're successful, you don't recognize me and your mother anymore!"

Li quickly and carefully put down her wine glass, looked at Jiang Huaijin and tried to appeal to his emotions, wiping away her tears and saying, "Huaijin, your father and mother were sorry for you back then, but if we hadn't sold you, you wouldn't have the good fortune you have today, would you?"

Jin Yu Lou is the largest restaurant in the capital. You're the manager here; your monthly salary must be very high.

Lai Caiqi trembled violently: "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you! You sold your own son, and now that Manager Jiang has become successful, you're trying to curry favor with him. Bah!"

They want one hundred taels.

When Jiang Huaijin refused, Jiang Daniu rushed up and hit him on the head with a stool.

They're still lingering and refusing to leave.

Lai Cai felt sorry for Jiang Huaijin, having such shameless biological parents who came to leech off him.

"Hey, stop arguing." Unable to get a word in edgewise, Manager Cao of Manyulou rushed to Jiang Huaijin, his face full of flattery. "Manager Jiang, who is that little girl from yesterday? Is she coming today? Tell me where she lives, I'll go find her!"

Jiang Huaijin glanced at him and coldly uttered two words: "Get out."

"Don't do this." Manager Cao twisted his plump body, clasped his hands together, and pleaded, "Please tell me! Didn't your parents want a hundred taels? If you tell me where she is, I'll give them the hundred taels!"

Jiang Daniu and Li Shi's eyes lit up instantly, and they both stared at Jiang Huaijin.

"If you don't want to give it, just tell them where that little baby is and make him give it to you!" Jiang Daniu looked at Manager Cao with burning eyes and a fawning expression. "You're such a good person."

Jiang Huaijin clenched his fists and then opened them again: "Guards, throw them out!"

"You unfilial son, I am your father!"

Jiang Huaijin laughed out loud, a fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes as he looked at him: "Then you should be glad you gave birth to me, otherwise I would have killed you with my own hands."

Back then, he was sold to a slave trader. If Su Xuance hadn't bought him back halfway, he would have ended up at the Nanfeng Pavilion, a place exclusively for high-ranking officials and nobles to indulge in pleasure.

Over the years, he has never let go of his obsession, wanting to ask why it had to be him.

He would rather be sold into the life of a servant than become an actor.

Jiang Daniu was startled and immediately fell silent.

"Uncle Jiang, Renbao's calculations were spot on, weren't they?" Renbao licked her candied hawthorn as she entered Jinyulou. Passing by Jiang Daniu and his wife, she frowned and said disdainfully, "You two reek of greed; it's awful!"

Jiang Daniu, already feeling humiliated, flew into a rage upon hearing this and stepped forward to shove her, shouting, "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Su Xuance's eyes suddenly turned icy cold, and he kicked out.

Before Jiang Daniu could even touch a hair on Renbao's head, he was sent flying out of the Jinyulou and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Old man!" Madam Li rushed over, collapsed to the ground, and wailed, "Is there no law or justice in this world?! Your own son, watching his father being bullied!"

The people gathered around.

"Is the manager of Jin Yu Lou really this cold-blooded?"

"What an ingrate!"

Hearing the condemnations coming from all sides, all in her favor, Li's withered lips curled into a slight smile.

"Little one, no, master, is it true that you said yesterday I had two little demons on my shoulder? Could you please help me get rid of them? Name your price!"

Manager Cao shamelessly begged Renbao.

Renbao shook his head: "I'm busy!"

Manager Cao tried to plead with the guards, but they blocked his way.

Renbao ran up to Jiang Huaijin and took his hand, saying, "Uncle Jiang, don't be sad. Do you want to completely sever ties with your family? I can help you!"

Jiang Huaijin was stunned, then nodded without hesitation: "I want to."

Renbao said, "Then come with me."

Jiang Huaijin stood up and let her pull him out of Jinyulou.

The sunlight hit his face, and he instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes; it was too dazzling.

But Renbao was holding both his hands, so he couldn't free them.

When Li saw Jiang Huaijin come out, she immediately said, "Huaijin, just give us one hundred taels, consider it our retirement money. Your father has been injured, and we need money to see a doctor!"

"But you only raised Uncle Jiang for a few years before selling him. You gave birth to him but didn't raise him; you owe him something. How can you have the nerve to ask for money?"

Renbao Xiaoqiong wrinkled her nose, her face full of disapproval.

Li's face turned ashen: "What do you know, you little brat!"

"Insolence!" Lai Fu shouted angrily, "My young lady is the current Heavenly Master, how dare you offend her!"

Little Celestial Master!

Is this three-year-old child the same little Taoist master who is skilled in divination, possesses superb medical skills, and is fawned over by all the powerful and wealthy in the capital?!

Jiang Daniu and Li Shi's faces suddenly turned pale.

The onlookers bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Little Celestial Master."


"Uncle Jiang, you've completely severed all ties with them. You can even beat them up now!"

Renbao clenched his little fist and punched the air a few times, the resulting gust of wind blowing Jiang Huaijin's hair up.

Jiang Huaijin felt a strange sense of relief, and even the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart disappeared.

If you don't care, you won't have emotions.

It will not be affected by any actions of the other party.

They were just strangers.

He laughed heartily: "Thank you, Renbao."

The constables from the Dali Temple arrived and apprehended Jiang Daniu and Li Shi. They bowed to Su Xuance and said, "My lord."

Su Xuance nodded, his tone icy: "Take him away."

"Huaijin, we don't want the money anymore, we don't want it anymore, please save us!"

They finally became afraid and regretted it.

I wish I hadn't come.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world...

When Manager Cao saw Renbao enter Jinyulou, for the sake of his life, he stomped his foot, gritted his teeth, and, despite his fear, rushed in, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Little Celestial Master, save me!"
