PFC Chapter 218 Sending the Child Home
Chapter 218 Sending the Child Home
Now that you're married, you should be mindful of boundaries.
Sigh... Where did his dad go? Why isn't he back yet?
The young lady seems to really enjoy looking at handsome men. What if she leaves with one of them?
Shen Qihui and the two little ones looked around with their six eyes, as if they had discovered a new continent.
Zhao Yuming was amused by their silly antics: "I am Zhao Yuming, the manager of Jinyulou."
Lei stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "I am Lei, the second-ranking subordinate. Lei greets Madam and Young Master."
Dongfang Jin nodded: "Understood, you can go now, we should leave too."
Feng took a step forward: "Then, here...?"
Dongfang Jin remained silent for a while before saying, "Lock the door. I'll arrange for someone to come in and guard it."
After saying that, he told Ruyi to keep an eye out for beggars in Ling'an County, and if there were any decent ones, to let her know.
She suddenly remembered something, and it was Chen Jizhou who reminded her.
Yes, they will have to go back sooner or later, and once they go back, they will definitely need to have their own people there.
Her target was those beggars, the people Gu Jingye was grooming.
Lung Kyu and Eleven are here, ready-made martial arts instructors. It would be a fool not to take advantage of such a good deal.
"Is that cheap?" Ruyi asked, hands on her hips in the space.
[It's cheap for us, and we can't teach martial arts anyway. Keep an eye on those little beggars; those kids are much smarter than other children.]
[That's right, we shouldn't underestimate beggars.]
[I told you, I won't underestimate anyone. After we finish eating, we'll go to the brokerage. Long Jiu and Eleven should be back in a few days, so Eleven will take care of things here.]
[Good idea, bringing things into the open.]
Zhao Yuming...
Do you dislike him that much?
Cangying disappeared after Chen Jizhou and his wife left. Ruyi didn't say anything, and Dongfang Jin didn't ask either, so it seems she wasn't with them.
Seeing that Dongfang Jin didn't like them, Feng and Lei were quick to understand.
Feng placed a bundle that Lei was carrying on the kang table: "This is what the old master asked us to give you. The things in the box are gifts from the old master to the young master for the festival."
Dongfang Jin didn't touch those things: "I won't accept them. You should give these things to whoever you want."
The wind asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin asked, "Why?" "No reason," Dongfang Jin replied, "your master clearly looks down on her. Why should she bother trying to win his favor?"
He scoffed, "We're not acquainted."
Feng was stunned, and said with some dissatisfaction, "How are we not familiar with each other anymore?"
Looking at Feng Helei, who was filled with anger, Dongfang Jin thought to himself, "What kind of people did the Duke of Ningguo send? They all have such high aspirations. Who are they trying to impress?"
Even the Dragon Guards aren't as cocky as you guys.
If even a servant from a Duke's mansion can act so arrogantly, it's clear that the Duke of Ning doesn't value Gu Chenglin that much. The only thing he can figure out is the secret Gu Chenglin carries.
It's probably just this small favor that will make the ignorant Gu Chenglin feel grateful.
The relationships in the capital are complicated, and she should be careful until she can sort them out.
As the old saying goes: When you receive a favor, you're bound to feel obligated to give it; when you taste someone's gift, you'll naturally feel obligated to offer it.
Don't you understand their attitude?
She had to be careful since she was giving them the gift so openly.
At this moment, a commotion arose at the courtyard gate, and Dongfang Jin vaguely heard Shen Qijun's voice.
Looking at the younger ones, he said, "Stay here, I'll go check on them."
After saying that, he ignored Zhao Yuming and Feng Helei and walked out quickly on his own.
As soon as Dongfang Jin stepped out the door, she saw Shen Qijun and A Ping pulling at the black-clad men who were holding Chen Jizhou and his wife hostage.
"Xiao Jun, A Ping, come here."
When Shen Qijun heard Dongfang Jin call him over, he was somewhat puzzled: "Auntie, this..."
Dongfang Jin said coldly, "Come back. This is none of your business."
When Aping heard Dongfang Jin say this, he pulled Shen Qijun around the group and walked over. He was no ignorant person.
Since Dongfang Jin is alright, then these two must be the ones in trouble. He knows these two; they often act like bullies outside the capital behind the backs of the Ningguo Duke's mansion.
It seems I've been tricked by Dongfang Jin; serves me right.
These kinds of lackeys should have been dealt with long ago. Just think about the masters in charge of the Ningguo Duke's mansion, who spend their days eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers, and you'll understand why.
"Ah Ping, what brings you here? Isn't your young master busy?"
Ah Ping chuckled and said, "Jin-jie, you're so busy, so incredibly busy. Didn't we hear from this boy that you brought back two children?"
The young master asked me to come and register this. If no one claims it, I'll bring it back to you.
Dongfang Jin smiled and said, "I know both of those children. One is from Xie Wenke's sister's family, and the other is from the Ma family."
I'll deliver it to your house in a bit, so don't bother registering it. Just tell your son to pretend he doesn't know anything about it.
“Alright,” A-Ping said, then looked around and whispered to Dongfang Jin, “Young Master has had a very fruitful time. When I came here, he said he would recommend you for credit.”
Even though he has Prince Dun's shadow guards by his side, he can't easily take advantage of the situation to give you something. After saying that, he took out a roll of silver notes from his sleeve and stuffed it into Dongfang Jin's sleeve pocket.
"Young master said, buy whatever you like yourself."
Dongfang Jin watched his actions, suppressing a laugh. This Lu Yunqing was really interesting: "Keep it down, keep it down. I don't know what you're talking about."
Go back and tell your son not to drag me into this. Just say he knows nothing about it, that it has nothing to do with us, and don't let it slip.
"I will tell you. In that case, I won't go in. The young master is short-handed."
Dongfang Jin took out a silver note and subtly slipped it into Aping's chest: "Let's go."
Watching A-Ping leave in a hurry, Shen Qijun looked at Dongfang Jin: "Auntie, what about Grandpa Chen and the others?"
"Xiao Jun, when you used to come and deliver things, didn't you notice anything wrong with the house?"
Shen Qijun asked in confusion, "Something's not right? No, I always leave after delivering things; I never go inside."
Dongfang Jin asked in surprise, "You've never been inside before?"
This time it was Shen Qijun's turn to be surprised: "Auntie, is there something wrong with this?"
Seeing him like this, Dongfang Jin shook her head. He was still a child and didn't understand anything. She said, "Let's go eat and then go to the brokerage later."
She didn't want to say much to the child. He was a sensitive person, and if she spoke to him, he might take all the blame upon himself.
When Dongfang Jin and Shen Qijun entered the house, Zhao Yuming and Feng Helei had already left.
……
When Dongfang Jin brought several children to the backyard of Ping'an Restaurant, Liu Linghui, Xie Wenna, Lin Baiwei, and two young women were there.
It seems the other one is Ma Haiyang's biological mother. Yangyang looks seven parts like his mother, but isn't his outfit a bit too flamboyant?
She acts like a courtesan; this second sister-in-law of the Ma family is truly an oddball. I heard she's also Ma Wencai's cousin.
When they saw Dongfang Jin enter with the child, they all rushed forward.
With her eyes red and swollen, Xie Wenna hugged her son and cried, hitting him between sobs: "You little brat, you want to kill your mother!"
Xiao Sanqi stood there motionless, letting Xie Wenna hit her.
Shopkeeper Xue approached Dongfang Jin, expressing his deepest gratitude and apologizing repeatedly, looking as if he had aged ten years from the guilt he displayed.
"Sister Wenna, hurry up and take your Sanqi back home, someone from your family is here to urge you again," said the flamboyant young woman as she walked over.
Liu Linghui walked over and took Dongfang Jin's hand, her face full of gratitude: "Xiao Jin, thank you. Second Aunt is not feeling well, so we'll be going now."
