I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

At the entrance, Wang Laosan was dressed in a festive red outfit, with a lewd smile on his face, leaning on a cane, and sporting a large gold tooth.

Standing next to Wang Laosan was Shen Yue's uncle, Shen De.

Shen De's face was beaming with a bright smile. His mind was filled with thoughts of how to use the two acres of land given to him by Wang Laosan to get rich, and he dreamed of living a more prosperous life from then on.

These days, they work hard for most of their lives, farming for others, but the harvest they receive is far from enough to fill their stomachs.

Now things are much better. They sent away Shen Yu, that money-losing girl, and got two acres of land. Their lives will soon improve.

It's a pity.

If it weren't for the desire to sell it for a good price.

The taste of the two sisters, Shen Yue and Shen Yu.

He really wanted to try it too.

But no, once you're defiled, you're worthless.

"My dear husband, sob sob sob, you're finally back..."

Shen Degang pushed open the door and saw his wife and son limping toward him.

When Wang Laosan saw that the boy was actually imitating him by walking with a twisted leg, his face immediately fell. However, when he saw that Shen De's son's leg was genuinely injured, he slowed down a bit.

"What happened? Who beat you up like this?"

Where is Shen Yu?

Shen De quickly asked.

"Just now, Shen Yue came back with an old man. That old man was very fierce; he injured us and forcibly took Shen Yu away..."

Shen Lang's mother immediately burst into tears and recounted the whole story.

"What?! Such a thing actually happened?! In broad daylight, is there no law anymore?!"

Upon hearing this, Shen De immediately became furious.

Wang Laosan, standing to the side, was not happy about it.

"Stop trying to pull this charade with me, you two!"

"Do you think I don't know what kind of people your whole family are?"

"Don't try to pull those tricks to raise the price. Let me tell you, if you don't get this person out of here today, don't blame me, Wang Laosan, for turning my back on you!"

Wang Laosan simply sneered.

This whole thing is clearly just an attempt to raise the price.

"It's really not that we wanted to raise the price, Shen Yu really was snatched away by an old man... Our injuries were all caused by that old man..."

Shen Lang's mother cried out in a truly pitiful way.

For a moment, even Shen De was somewhat impressed by his wife's acting skills.

That's exactly how he wanted to get Wang Laosan to raise the price.

After all, given Wang Laosan's personality, how could he possibly let go of the fat meat that was almost within his grasp?

"Old Wang...you see, my wife really dotes on her niece, she raises her like her own daughter."

Shen De sighed and looked in the direction of Wang Laosan, his face full of trouble.

"Fine, fine, I'll just add another acre!"

"Here are three acres for you. Quickly, bring out my young lady!"

Wang Laosan was also at a loss because of these people's acting skills. In order to earn a little more money, they even put on such a melodramatic show.

"If you don't bring the person out this time, don't blame me for being impolite."

As Wang Laosan spoke, he propped his lame leg up on the steps.

It is said that this leg had quite a few achievements back in the day.

Everyone in the surrounding villages had heard of Wang Laosan; when his legs were healed, he was a ruthless man in the Dongshe Gang back in the day.

"Hehe, good, good! Brother Wang is so generous!"

"Hurry up and bring that girl Xiaoyu out!"

Shen De urged, "We're already almost there, why are you still lingering here?"

"They really were taken away!"

Shen Lang's mother was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"What?! They actually took him away?!"

Shen De's face flushed with anger.

Is this still available?

Wouldn't that mean all the land we've already acquired will go to waste?

Wang Laosan also realized something was wrong at this point.

They've already given out all the benefits, so what's this old woman still making a fuss about?

No matter what, Shen Yu has to be taken away today.

I had already made contact before coming here. After I was done playing around, I would sell it directly to the East Snake Gang.

With Shen Yu's looks...

If you resell it within the East Snake Gang, you can get at least several dozen taels of silver, and with your share of the profits, you'll still have at least a dozen taels in hand.

As for giving the Shen family this land, hehe, is it that easy to take it?

Those few acres of land were all abandoned; they were just wasteland.

Not only could he enjoy the company of the beautiful woman, but he could also gain a dozen or so taels of silver as a reward.

It's a win-win situation.

And just when my dream was about to come true, you told me that the person had been kidnapped?

"Who stole it?"

"Which direction did they go?"

"You old hag, why are you only saying this now!"

Shen De went up and slapped his wife hard across the face.

He asked repeatedly.

At that moment, Shen Lang suddenly saw a figure walk in through the door. His eyes widened, and he quickly pointed towards the doorway.

"It's him...it's him!"

"Father...he's the one who took Shen Yu away!"

Shen Lang pointed to Lu Xuan at the door and said.

Lu Xuan had just locked the door.

"Hehe, everyone, please be patient and wait for me a moment."

Lu Xuan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the enraged crowd, calming them down.

Shen De also frowned.

They exchanged a glance with Wang Laosan, but didn't say much at this moment. Instead, they watched to see what kind of explanation Lu Xuan could give. If Lu Xuan couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, then they, as country folk, would not be polite.

But after locking the door, Lu Xuan went to the storage room and picked through the items on the floor, finally selecting a sharp sickle and a wood-chopping knife.

"What...what do you want to do!"

Shen De became alert upon seeing Lu Xuan holding knives in both hands and hurriedly tried to find a weapon, but Lu Xuan had already taken a step forward.

puff!

Lu Xuan slashed out with his left-hand scythe.

They directly chopped off Shen De's head.

He had been there for a while, and only showed up after everyone had arrived.

The blood gushing from Shen De's neck splattered all over Wang Laosan's face.

Wang Laosan felt a warm, burning sensation on his cheek, and the pungent smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.

"Depend on……"

Wang Laosan realized that this guy was a ruthless person.

Lu Xuan suddenly drew his wood-chopping knife and slashed at Wang Laosan's chest.

Wang Laosan was stabbed directly in the chest, his chest exploded, blood splattered, and he fell to the ground with a thud, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

"ah!?"

"Murder!"

Shen Lang's mother screamed as Lu Xuan swung his sickle at her head.

It split a person in two, like splitting a watermelon in half.

Shen Lang reacted quickly, running straight towards the backyard, trying to slip away through the back door.

Lu Xuan raised his hand and flicked it.

The sickle whistled out.

It instantly cleaved Shen Lang's body diagonally in two.

The force was so great that the sickle in his hand developed some nicks.

These people may not have the same abilities as Master Huang, who could bring the dead back to life.

"Who...who are you...?"

"I, Wang Laosan... have no grudge against you..."

Wang Laosan lay on the ground, clutching his wound. He had lost too much blood, making his face deathly pale.

She looked at Lu Xuan listlessly, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

"Indeed, we have no grudge against each other."

"You're just unlucky."

Lu Xuan brushed off some bloodstains from his body.

Shen Lang's body was then dragged back and carelessly dumped in front of Wang Laosan.

Then he took the sickle that had killed Shen Lang and stuffed it into Wang Laosan's hand.

Wang Laosan immediately understood.

This old man, Lu Xuan, is trying to create the impression that he killed Shen De's entire family.

He wanted to struggle, but he was powerless to resist.

Because the next moment, Lu Xuan chopped down the wood-chopping knife.

He killed Wang Laosan with a single blow.

Then Lu Xuan also put the wood-chopping knife into Shen De's hand.

As for how people will recreate the scene, that's none of Lu Xuan's business.

It's just a case of a rural farmer being murdered; the case probably won't even reach the county level, and will be suppressed right there in the village.

Then, Lu Xuan took out the 150 taels of silver notes he had taken out earlier.

After doing all this, he left with a sense of contentment.

The few drops of blood on his body were nothing to worry about.

The villagers soon discovered the situation at Shen De's home.

When everyone discovered that Shen De's family had been brutally murdered.

My first thought was to steal all the food from Shen De's house.

The villagers were free to embellish the stories that unfolded on the scene.

Lu Xuan returned to the carriage.

Liu Qingxue smelled the faint scent of blood on Lu Xuan and guessed what he had been doing.

"I've heard that Nanshanfang has many quiet villas and is also the safest place in Wuling County. Why don't we go to Nanshanfang and buy a courtyard house there?"

Lu Xuan was quite familiar with Wuling County.

It is said that Nanshanfang is inhabited by wealthy families, and the people who come and go are all rich and noble. The environment is elegant and there are no messy people.

If it weren't for the Huang family, who were involved in shady dealings and had close ties with the Blood Mother Cult, they probably would have moved to Nanshanfang long ago.

If I were to live in that granary with three stunning beauties every day, wouldn't that attract too much attention?

Moreover, Lu Xuan wouldn't stay in the granary of Dong'an Warehouse forever.

After all, he accepted the job in the first place because he had no choice in front of Yang Qinghou. If he had refused the job at that time, he would have been courting death.

Upon hearing that they were going to Nanshanfang, the most upscale place in Wuling County, the three women's eyes lit up.

"I heard that there's the biggest brothel in Nanshanfang... I really want to go see it..."

Shen Yu's eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

"You silly girl, all you do is play."

"Hurry up and thank the master for saving your life."

"From now on, you must follow the master wholeheartedly, understand?"

Shen Yue said sternly with a fierce expression.

This is no joke; it's a matter of principle.

Shen Yu was also very clear that when Lu Xuan was not around, Shen Yue had told her the general situation.

"Yes, yes, Yu'er will definitely serve Master well and will never betray Master."

Shen Yu immediately expressed her loyalty to Lu Xuan.

As for the contract of servitude, Lu Xuan simply burned it.

"good……"

"Moon, it's not convenient for you and Qingxue to show yourselves for the time being, so Yu'er will temporarily handle things at the Nanshanfang house."

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and then said.

Shen Yue came from the Huang family.

Liu Qingxue is still being watched by the Huang family.

Needless to say, if an old groom from the Huang family bought a mansion, not only would the Huang family cause him trouble, but the county magistrate Yang Qinghou would not let him off the hook.

Shen Yu is indeed clever and capable, and handles things quite well.

After arriving at Nanshanfang, they changed their clothes and were quite at ease.

Together with Liu Qingxue, they found a manor they liked and bought it directly.

Because the price budget was within the range given by Lu Xuan.

Including the broker's reward, the total cost was 16,000 taels of silver.

After all, it was just a house in a county town.

A price of over ten thousand taels is already very high.

Furthermore, this residence is only of ordinary size, with two courtyards and only fifteen rooms in total. However, the environment, layout, and greenery inside the residence are all very well maintained.

When the broker asked questions, Shen Yu simply brushed them off by saying that he was the master of the house and it was inconvenient to reveal the truth, and the broker was well aware of it.

Some things are better left unasked about.

After all, places like this are usually bought by wealthy gentlemen to house women who are difficult to take back with them.

After all the formalities are completed.

Lu Xuan and Shen Yue then officially entered the courtyard.

"What a great place, what a great place."

Lu Xuanguang was already very satisfied with the house, with its unique decor and elegant scenery.

I finally bought a house in the county town.

"So big, so soft..."

Even when Shen Yue lay on her bed in her room, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, let's keep a low profile for now and make plans after the Huang family's matter is resolved."

"Starting tomorrow, the three of you will live here and look after each other. When I'm not around, ask Yue'er for domestic matters and Qingxue for external matters."

Lu Xuan said.

At the same time, he gave Shen Yue a full thousand taels of silver notes and asked her to take care of some household affairs.

Although some of the essentials are already in the house, there are always places where you need to furnish them.

All three nodded frantically.

Shen Yue was a little disappointed.

After all, she had only just finished turning over the small vegetable garden over at the warehouse.

However, they always resolutely obeyed the master's arrangements.

After dinner.

Lu Xuan was also in the bathhouse, soaking in a very large bathtub.

Just as I was comfortably enjoying myself.

But then they heard a soft knock on the door.

"Master...may I come in?"

"Um?"

Lu Xuan opened his eyes and responded.

Then, Shen Yu, wearing only a towel around her neck, walked in with a flushed face.

"Sir, let me rub your back first."

It was clear that Shen Yue had given her some guidance beforehand, so Shen Yu was able to pick things up very quickly.

When I was massaging Lu Xuan's back, I realized that the old man's body was actually quite strong.

He doesn't look like an old man at all.

"Sir...you're so strong..."

As Shen Yu spoke, she slowly dipped her small hands into the water.
