Yu Wan never expected that the first time in her life she would apologize so seriously to someone was because her two-year-old sons beat up a nine-year-Doggie.

“Aunt Zhong, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault…”

“Yes, yes… I won’t do it again…”

“I’ll discipline them.”

After leaving Aunt Zhong’s house, Yu Wan felt terrible. Little Bruiser deserved a beating. She asked him to take care of her sons, and is this how he takes care of them? They even beat people up? Seriously!

Yu Wan had already found out the ins and outs of the incident. Little Bruiser was the one who provoked the other party first. Doggie caught a toad and told people that it was a frog. Little Bruiser laughed at him for being a fool and that he couldn’t even differentiate between a toad and a frog. Doggie threatened Little Bruiser to try saying one sentence more, and Little Bruiser said more than one fearlessly, only to be beaten up badly by Doggie.

Of course, Doggie had been too heavy-handed. He shouldn’t have done this, but her sons hadn’t been gentle either!

Look at how they beat up Doggie. The village tyrant had become the village belle!

…An ugly belle.

Yu Wan walked home without a word. The three little munchkins drooped their heads and followed her.

Little Bruiser was smart and had long slipped up the mountain to find Yu Shaoqing.

“Do you know your mistake?” When she approached the door, Yu Wan stopped in her tracks and looked at the three little fellows solemnly.

The three little fellows lowered their heads.

A fighting baby was not a good baby.

“It’s not that I don’t want you to fight…” Yu Wan organized her words.” It depends on the situation. You can’t take the initiative to bully others, nor can you bully others with your uncle when you know that your uncle is in the wrong. ”

The three little fellows looked at Yu Wan in confusion.

Yu Wan : “…”

Okay, they didn’t understand. Yu Wan did not understand either. How did a few weak little munchkins bully a nine-year-old Doggie like that? Village tyrant? He was too undeserved…

While the little munchkins bullied the village tyrant, on the other side, the little munchkins’ father, a certain young master, also bullied Xu Shao.

Xu Shao and Yan Ruyu were colluding with each other to scheme against Yan Jiuchao and his children. This was a crime to begin with. Once it was exposed, Xu Shao would not be able to escape from prison. Xu Shao was also prepared to die.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jiuchao suppressed the news and did not announce it for a long time. He just did not give Xu Shao a quick death, but he cut Xu Shao’s flesh and blood bit by bit.

First, Xu Shao’s eldest son was drunk and fell off his horse. Then, his second son fought with someone in the street and was thrown into jail. Immediately after, Xu Shao’s uncle owed a huge gambling debt and was pressed onto the gambling table to be chopped off his hand. All of this seemed to have happened within a day, so people could not help but suspect that someone was messing with Xu Shao behind his back.

Xu Shao was helpless about this, and so was Worthy Consort Xu.

If Yan Jiuchao had brought the matter to the surface, Worthy Consort Xu might have been able to plead with the Emperor and punish her brother lightly. However, Yan Jiuchao did not say a word. For the time being, she did not have the courage to expose Xu Shao’s scheme against Yan Jiuchao to the Emperor.

In the end, she still had a trace of hope in her heart that Yan Jiuchao did not say anything because he had some reservations. Then wouldn’t she be making a fool of herself if she said something?

Xu Shao, on the other hand, understood Yan Jiuchao’s plan. He did not give him a quick death for a long time. He let a sharp knife hang over his head all the time because he wanted him to be on tenterhooks day and night. Yan Jiuchao was torturing him! It was just like a cat wanting to eat a rat. It would first slowly play with it until the rat was exhausted before swallowing the rat!

“Master, something happened to Tianxiang Restaurant!” The butler reported solemnly.

“Which one? What happened?” Xu Shao asked with a livid expression.

The butler said, “For some reason, the plaque of the new shop we opened fell and hit someone. The person who was hit was the young master of Lord Zheng. At this moment, Lord Zheng is angry and wants us to give him an explanation.”

Needless to say, Xu Shao had guessed how the plaque fell. However, Xu Shao did not have any evidence that it was Yan Jiuchao’s doing, and could only watch as Yan Jiuchao brazenly attacked him in his territory.

“Master…” The butler was worried.

Xu Shao said tiredly, “Got it. You can leave. I’ll go over later.”

The butler retreated.

The confidant walked out from behind the screen. “Master.”

Xu Shao clenched his fists in anger. “Yan Jiuchao is simply going too far! Does he really think I can’t do anything to him? Even if Young Master is in seclusion and I can’t contact him for the time being, I still have my own people in my hands! Go and contact Yue Guan!”

The confidant paused and said to Xu Shao, “Master, forgive me for being blunt, but I’m afraid you have to be careful.”

“Why? Are you worried that they’ll be wiped out like last time?” Xu Shao said. “I was careless last time. I underestimated the strength of those two secret guards. However, the ones I sent out are only the lowest-level sacrificial soldiers. The silver-masked sacrificial soldiers haven’t been mobilized yet. Besides, I’m not going to assassinate Yan Jiuchao.”

The confidant said, “Master, you want to attack Miss Yu? Then I’m afraid you have to be even more cautious.”

Xu Shao frowned. “Why do you say that?”

The confidant explained, “When I went to Lotus Flower Village to investigate, I discovered something very interesting. A few foreigners have moved into the Zhao family’s house. The villagers might not be able to tell, but I can be sure that they’re not ordinary people. Their auras are very powerful, and their strength is probably not inferior to any of the silver-masked sacrificial soldiers.”

“There’s actually such a thing.” Xu Shao paused and looked at his confidant. “You suspect… that Yan Jiuchao sent them to protect the girl from the Yu family?”

“That’s right.” The confidant nodded.

If they were really that powerful, then his chances of winning would not be high. However—

Xu Shao thought of something and smiled faintly. “They’re not Yan Jiuchao’s people.”

“How does Master know?” The confidant looked at Xu Shao suspiciously.

Xu Shao smiled and said, “Whose house did you say they were staying in just now?”

“The Zhao family. After the Zhao family moved away, the house was empty,” the confidant replied.

Xu Shao said confidently, “Don’t forget, Zhao Heng was once that girl’s fiancé. How big do you think Yan Jiuchao’s heart is to let his guards stay in his house?” Even if they had already moved away, that young master could not tolerate anything. Living in the Zhao family? Wouldn’t he find it disgusting?

“Then who are they? Why did they move into Lotus Flower Village?” The confidant was puzzled.

Xu Shao pondered and said, “I don’t know about that, but I’m sure that they’re definitely not our enemies.”

They might even have the same enemy.

It had to be said that Xu Shao’s guess was right. Although that group of people was not targeting Yan Jiuchao, they were indeed targeting Yu Wan and the others. Once they succeeded, Yan Jiuchao would also suffer heavy losses. From this point of view, they were indeed fellow Daoists.

“I’m relieved to hear that. I’ll arrange for someone to capture that girl now. Does Master want her alive?”

“It’s best if she’s alive.” He could only threaten Yan Jiuchao if she’s alive.

“It doesn’t matter if she’s not alive,” Xu Shao added. He had already fallen out with Yan Jiuchao. If he really couldn’t catch her alive, he would kill that girl. Yan Jiuchao cared so much about her. If she died, he might die from anger.

In the Zhao family’s mansion.

Ah Wei woke up.

After Ah Wei was bitten by the Hundred Gu King, the old man spent a lot of effort removing the Gu worm from his body. However, the damage from the Gu worm was not so easily eliminated. During this period of time, Ah Wei had been recuperating in his room, and he had completely recovered today.

Ah Wei felt ashamed. As the largest villain in the clan, he actually couldn’t even deal with a woman and even lost a Hundred Gu King that he had painstakingly refined.

“Grandma, give me another chance. I won’t fail again!” Ah Wei said firmly.

The old man shook his head. “There’s no need. We’ve already asked around clearly. She’s not the person we’re looking for. She’s that person’s daughter. Recently, many strange people have come to the village. They seem to be asking for some news. I don’t know if our whereabouts have been exposed. Don’t act rashly for the time being. We’ll talk after the commotion passes.”

Ah Wei: “But…”

“No buts. This is a clan order,” the old man said firmly.

Ah Wei swallowed the words in his mouth. The old man left with the other two men. Ah Wei stayed in the room and silently mourned his dead Gu worm. He was very indignant.

Even though Grandma said that she was not the target of their arrest and it did not matter if he failed, he had fallen into her hands. No one had ever made Ah Wei fall. Ah Wei wanted to kill this woman!

With his skills, he could definitely do it without anyone knowing and not expose their identities to anyone.

At night, Ah Wei took the opportunity to sneak out of the back door while going to the toilet. Killing people was much easier than capturing them alive. A life was lost just like that.

At the same time, the sacrificial soldiers sent by Xu Shao also infiltrated Yu Wan’s house.

This was a silver-masked sacrificial soldier. Even Shadow Thirteen was not his match. He had circled into Yu Wan’s house from the back of the mountain, but there was no one in Yu Wan’s house. All of them had gone to the old residence to eat.

“Ah Wan! Ah Wan, are you home?” Aunt Zhang’s voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Xu Shao only ordered Yu Wan to be killed and not anyone else.

Aunt Zhang entered the central room. The sacrificial soldier flashed to Yu Wan’s bed, pulled open the blanket, and nimbly crawled in.

Aunt Zhang walked to the door of Yu Wan’s room. “Ah—Eh? You’re asleep? So early.”

Aunt Zhang saw the lump on the bed and naturally could not guess that it was not Yu Wan. However, it was not a big deal. It was the same if she looked for Ah Wan tomorrow. She closed the door for Yu Wan and walked out softly.

The sacrificial soldier was about to lift the blanket when Ah Wei entered the room.

Ah Wei ran straight to Yu Wan’s room, took out his knife, and stabbed at the person without a word.

The sacrificial soldier, who did not understand what had happened, looked at the knife in his heart in a daze. “…”
