Chapter 157 Pig teammates
"I asked around in the village, and the Third Young Master's wife is indeed good at martial arts, and seems to be quite good at it." Manager Liu said disapprovingly, "Country people are ignorant and think everything they see is amazing. I think the Third Young Master's wife probably only knows some fancy moves."
"Flower fists and embroidered legs." Lu Chengyuan repeated these four words slowly, tapping the desk with his white knuckles. After a moment, he asked, "Has father calmed down?"
The topic suddenly changed. Manager Liu was stunned for a moment before replying, "Although the master has calmed down, he seems to be in a bad mood."
"Third brother is ignorant." Lu Chengyuan paused his tapping knuckles, a thoughtful look flashed across his face, and he instructed, "Find a chance to bring up the matter in front of father in two days. When it's done, mother will be relieved."
Manager Liu quickly responded.
The study was quiet again. Lu Chengyuan seemed to be in a trance as he looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl. When Manager Liu wanted to find an excuse to leave, he said, "Go and tell Sang Qi in person that the last batch of goods was fine, but if there is any problem with this batch of goods, he won't have to come back."
Manager Liu was about to leave when Lu Chengyuan stopped him, "Also, before this batch of goods is sold, don't let him do anything wrong in the courtyard again."
"Yes." Manager Liu asked, "Does the young master have any other instructions?"
Lu Chengyuan waved at him, and Manager Liu tactfully withdrew and gently closed the study door.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Chengyuan came out of the study and went to see the two children.
Shang Wan remembered the conversation he had just heard clearly. Thinking that he had promised to go home for lunch, he flew out of Lu's mansion, checked out of the inn, and drove the ox cart out of the city.
They had already reached the city gate, and Shang Wan felt that it was not feasible to just leave like this, so he turned around and drove the ox cart back to the Qiao Mansion.
The doorman went in to pass the message, and not long after, Ah Le came running out in a hurry, with two dark circles under his eyes.
"Why are you alone? Where is your young master?" Shang Wan looked behind him, but did not see Qiao Yu'an.
Ah Le said with a bitter face: "The young master was punished by the master last night, and he is still kneeling in the ancestral hall."
Shang Wan couldn't imagine Qiao Yu'an kneeling obediently in the ancestral hall, and wondered, "What did he do to be punished?"
"Fighting with a classmate." Ah Le said indignantly, "It was clearly the other party who started the fight, but the master didn't know right from wrong and punished the young master to kneel in the ancestral hall. He was not allowed to get up until he admitted his mistake."
The young man's face was full of worry, and his dark circles were particularly obvious. "Master has not eaten anything since last night. What if he faints from hunger?"
Shang Wan said: "Every policy has its own countermeasures. Why don't you secretly send him some food?"
Ah Le said helplessly: "I sent it, but the young master said he was in a bad mood and didn't want to eat it."
"He's quite stubborn. Don't be so stubborn with anything else." Shang Wan curled her lips. "Since he refuses to eat, you can just pray that he passes out from hunger soon."
Ah Le looked at her with dissatisfaction, "My young master and Young Master Lu are good friends. Now that Young Master has become like this, why are you still making sarcastic remarks here?"
"You're not happy when I say you're stupid." Shang Wan shrugged. "After all, they are biological father and son. If your young master really fainted, you can always get a doctor or something, right? Isn't this how we get him out?"
Ah Le suddenly realized that this was possible.
Shang Wan glanced at him, "The father punished his son, but the mother didn't help and beg for mercy?"
"Of course I begged." Ah Le muttered quietly when he saw that there was no one around. "When Madam begged for mercy, the master got even angrier. Originally, the punishment was just to keep the young master from going out for half a month, but when Madam spoke up for mercy, it was directly changed to kneeling in the ancestral hall."
Shang Wan: “…”
There are really bad teammates everywhere.
Ah Le knew that Shang Wan must have something to do when he came to see his young master. "Young master can't come out now. If you have anything to say, tell me first and I will tell the young master for you."
"I can tell you." Shang Wan hooked her finger at him, motioning him to come closer.
"I want your young master to help keep an eye on the Longling Escort Agency and their second in command, Sang Qi, to see who they have dealings with. It would be best if you could write them down."
"Escort agency?" Ah Le looked at Shang Wan suspiciously, wanting to ask something, but Shang Wan slapped him back, "Just tell your young master exactly what I said, and don't ask any more questions."
"Oh." Ah Le rubbed his forehead and thought to himself that Shang Wan was vicious.
"There's one more thing." Shang Wan's voice became even quieter, and he asked him, "Has the person who was following him come back?"
She didn't say specifically what she was tracking, but A Le was the person Qiao Yu'an trusted the most, so he understood what Shang Wan was asking as soon as he heard it.
He said, "He has not come back yet. When the person comes back, I will send someone to tell you."
"Okay, don't forget." Shang Wan jumped onto the ox cart and waved at him, "I'm leaving first. You should go back and take care of your young master. Let him faint quickly. Kneeling for too long will block blood circulation, which is bad for the knees."
Ah Le agreed, then suddenly thought of something and quickly called her, "Wait."
Shang Wan turned around and looked at him, "Why, is there anything else?"
"Ointment." Ah Le took two steps forward and stood next to Huang Niu, looking up at Shang Wan, "The eldest master asked my young master to ask you what you want in order to cooperate with him. You can set any conditions you want."
"That's a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. I've kept it as a family heirloom. How can I easily cooperate with others?" Shang Wan tapped him on the forehead with the whip he used to drive cattle, "I'll keep this sentence intact. Remember it and get out of the way. I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner."
Ah Le stood obediently by the side and watched Shang Wan leave.
As Shang Wan left, two slender figures walked out of the Qiao Mansion.
"Ale."
"Hello, Second Miss." A Le bowed to Qiao Weiwei.
Qiao Weiwei glanced in the direction he had just looked at and asked curiously, "Why are you not here to protect your brother?"
Ah Le smiled and said, "The young master wanted to eat something sweet after being punished. He was tired of the snacks in the mansion, so he asked me to go out and buy some snacks."
He asked, "Second Miss, are you going out?"
Qiao Weiwei had a worried look on her face. "Father likes to eat the dragon's beard cakes from Xiaotangpu on East Street. I'm going to buy some to please him. Once he calms down, brother can come out of the ancestral hall soon."
Anle smiled and said, "The Second Miss is so nice to the Young Master."
"We are siblings, so I will treat him well." Qiao Weiwei secretly sized him up and said softly, "My brother is being punished now, and he can't be without you. Tell me what snacks he wants to eat, and I'll buy them for him."
Ah Le was just making it up, Qiao Yu'an didn't ask him to buy snacks at all.
However, he knew Qiao Yu'an's preferences very well, so he immediately ordered three snacks according to Qiao Yu'an's taste.
"Okay, I'll take note. Go back to the mansion first and persuade your brother to give in to father and get him out of the ancestral hall as soon as possible."
Ah Le responded with a "OK".
Just then the sedan arrived. A Le watched Qiao Weiwei get into the sedan, then looked up at the sky and suddenly doubts arose in his mind.
It's almost time for lunch, why is the second young lady going out at this time? Is it necessary to rush to buy snacks?
