Chapter 366: Front Edge (35)
The news that Zhang Siyuan was found soon reached the ears of the little brother and Ling Chuan. After knowing that he was fine and not harmed by Liu Baolian, they both smiled with relief.
The young man drank some scented tea to moisten his throat while asking about the details of Zhang Siyuan's disappearance.
"How did he get to the inn? The Zhang family was looking for him yesterday, and the whole city was in an uproar. In such a big inn, no one saw him go in?"
The person who came to deliver the message had a strange look on his face. He coughed dryly before replying, "I heard that he was abducted to the inn, so no one saw him, and..."
"And what?" The young man was in a good mood and took another sip of the scented tea.
The man looked at him sympathetically, "And Young Master Zhang...seems to have been robbed by a man."
"Puff—cough cough cough!" The young man spat out a mouthful of water and kept coughing because of choking, almost choking out tears.
Ling Chuan was also shocked by the man's words, and his expression was very complicated, but he was not as unlucky as the young man, as he happened to be drinking scented tea.
"Really? Are you sure you heard it right?" The young man looked as if the world was falling apart. I didn't expect that I could defend Liu Baolian but let others take advantage of it. Brother Da Zhang, I'm sorry to you.
Ling Chuan understood the young man's expression easily, but the older brother who reported the news obviously misunderstood the young man's meaning and looked at him with more sympathy.
But fortunately, he didn't talk nonsense or comfort anyone randomly, otherwise not only the young man, but Ling Chuan would probably not be able to help but hold his forehead.
"It should be true. I heard that Madam Zhang fainted because of this incident, and Mr. Zhang was furious and said he would offer a reward for that person."
"What about Zhang Siyuan? After what happened, he's not upset, is he?" asked the young man.
"...No, it's just that he seems to have decided on that person and regards her as his wife."
The young man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and his mood improved again. He then skipped Zhang Siyuan and asked directly about Liu Baokun and his sister.
"Yesterday they wanted to target a dandy young master, but by some strange mistake, Liu Baolian was taken away by Master Feng."
"Master Feng?" The young man paused and frowned slightly.
Ling Chuan's eyes also fixed.
He had an impression of this person. Not only in reality, but also in the current world, this person was a cunning villain who abused his power for personal gain.
That day, the young man sued Zhuang and Zhao, and he was the one who had been helping them shirk their responsibilities, trying to make a big deal out of a small matter and make nothing of a small matter.
Now that Liu Baolian is with him, although his wealth is not as great as the Zhang family, he has more power than ordinary people. If Liu Baolian is favored, he can target the little brother...
The more Ling Chuan thought about it, the more worried he became.
When the young man found out that Liu Baolian was following Master Feng, he didn't say much. He just asked the man to tell the others to just keep an eye on her as usual.
The man responded and left.
There was only one person and one virtual body left in the room.
The young man took out a piece of paper from the space and added another name to the relationship diagram.
"Master Feng, a master is indeed a golden thigh... But even if you get into someone's backyard, you may not be able to be the boss, right? That person looks quite snobbish." said the young man.
"Alas, who doesn't want something that's given away for free? But if you want to pluck feathers from a stingy person, you're probably out of luck."
The young man analyzed the situation as usual and felt that even if Liu Baolian followed Master Feng, she would at most be a concubine and would have to wait until the other party took her into the mansion.
Liu Baokun is still waiting for her help, and is probably busy marrying off his sister, so he has no time to pay attention to him for the time being.
Also, do Old Lady Liu and the others know what they did?
The answer is obviously unknown. The boy will find out once he returns to the village.
I heard from Xiao Liu that when Mrs. Liu found out about this, she was so angry that she beat Liu Baolian, and she could no longer hide the fact that Liu Baokun owed money to the gambling house.
Now, anyone who talks about Liu Baokun will look disdainful. In order to pay off his gambling debts, he actually gave his own sister to someone else as a concubine.
What is a concubine? She is just a little higher than a slave. If the master is unhappy with her, he can sell her or give her away at any time. To put it more seriously, it doesn't matter if she is beaten to death.
"She has already taken advantage of him, and everyone knows about it. It's impossible for Liu Baolian not to get married."
Xiao Liu said this and sighed, "How stupid! Why did he listen to his brother's nonsense?"
The young man shrugged, "Who knows, maybe I've been daydreaming too much."
Xiao Liu smiled and said to the boy, "You are becoming more and more vicious."
The young man denied it, "I didn't, she said it herself, if you don't believe me, ask Sister Yingying and Yuge'er."
The two chatted while they worked, and the young man stayed in Liujia Village for two days and two nights before leaving.
On the day he returned to the city, he met a very unfamiliar young man wearing a mask at the east end of the village. The young man couldn't help but glance at him a few times out of the corner of his eye.
Lingchuan: "..."
No need to ask, if you ask, he will be an old acquaintance.
Yes, this person is the thief who was rewarded by Zhang Guanghong - Yingying.
But when he thought that this person would die to save "himself", Ling Chuan felt heavy.
Finally, Yingying and the little brother took the same ox cart back to the county town.
My brother watched it again...
"Am I pretty?"
Yingying turned her head without warning and faced the young man's prying gaze.
The young man did not feel embarrassed about being caught. He smiled with his eyes curved and said, "You look good. Although I can only see half of it, I am sure you must be very beautiful."
Yingying was stunned for a moment and curled her lips slightly.
"You're good too."
"Thank you." The young man accepted the compliment.
Yingying turned her head away to look at the scenery around her, with no intention of continuing the conversation.
When the young man saw this, he stopped talking.
The two remained silent all the way.
After returning to the city, the young man lived his life as usual. When he saw Zhang Siyuan again, more than half a month had passed since he was kidnapped.
"Zhang Siyuan, long time no see. Your family has been looking for you all over the city and even found my house. Are you okay?"
The young man asked Zhang Siyuan, but found that the atmosphere around him was very depressed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was extremely discouraged.
"…Ah, I'm fine. I was just too stupid and forgot to ask my wife's name. Now I can't find him."
Zhang Siyuan said with great regret and sadness, his thick eyebrows twisted into a knot, and it can be seen that he is very distressed.
Others might be confused by what he said, but the young man knew everything about him, including that he was later confined by Master Zhang.
"Didn't he bully you? Why do you like him? Do you want him to be your wife?" the young man asked curiously.
Zhang Siyuan looked at him shyly, with a coy expression: "We are all making dolls together. Of course, she is my wife, and she is so beautiful... Liu Ze, let me tell you, making dolls is more fun than fighting crickets."
The young man almost staggered after hearing this and raised his hands to cover his face, "Don't tell this to anyone casually." Is this something he can listen to?
