Jing Dongheng agreed to attend Bai Yunsheng's second son's birthday party the next day, but he didn't want to go. After all, even his predecessor did not have a good relationship with Bai Yunsheng.
"Just get up early and go back to the village tomorrow." Jing Dongheng muttered to himself, but he didn't expect to be woken up by someone banging on the door in the middle of the night.
"What's wrong?" Jing Dongheng opened the door and found that there were many official officials in the inn.
He was nervous, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood there and listened to the people next to him saying that many thieves came into the city today to rob people, and the officials were looking for the thieves who entered the city today.
Jing Dongheng was also investigated. He said that he was here to celebrate the birthday of the young master of Liu's Mansion in the county. The other party knew about Liu's Mansion and asked Jing Dongheng a few words to tell Jing Dongheng not to leave the city for the next two days, otherwise he would go directly there. Catch him.
Jing Dongheng nodded and went back to the room.
When he got up early the next morning, he changed his clothes and prepared to go out, heading towards the Liu Mansion.
Officials can be seen everywhere on the road, and this matter seems to be very serious.
Jing Dongheng didn't know what Gu Pingshan and the others did, why Gu Renwu had to fake his death, and someone came out to rob someone.
"If we take him away, won't he have to wander around the world and never come back? It's safer to fake his death." Jing Dongheng thought about it in his mind, and bought something casually in the store.
His relationship with Bai Yunsheng was not good, and he didn't want Bai Yunsheng to know his changes. He simply bought something that fit his identity as a farmer and passed away.
Liu family is a well-known wealthy family in the county. The young master Bai Yunsheng married also just won the imperial examination this year. His family seems to be holding a grand birthday party.
Jing Dongheng didn't let him in when he passed by.
But soon Bai Yunsheng's boy came to pick him up.
"Our Aunt Bai has been waiting for you for a long time." The young man said and led Jing Dongheng into the yard.
When Jing Dongheng walked around the road, he found that there were many people from the Liu family, but the way the boy took him there was not like attending a birthday party.
Jing Dongheng slowed down and asked the boy in a low voice.
"You are from the young master's natal family. You will not attend the banquet at the front house. Our master has held a small banquet for Aunt Bai. Come and sit over there." The young man said and led Jing Dongheng through a few rooms. A corridor, and finally around a courtyard.
"Wait here." After the boy said that, he went over to talk to the maid.
The maid glanced at Jing Dongheng twice, then lowered her head and went to the yard to reply.
Bai Yunsheng walked out quickly, smiled at Jing Dongheng from a distance and said, "You are finally here."
"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Jing Dongheng felt inexplicably that Bai Yunsheng seemed to be on the right track. As if he had something to say, his heart sank, and he said with increased vigilance: "Here is Li. It's not easy for me, a small family, to be on the stage. Let's just forget it after we met. I'm going back."
"Hey, how can that be possible? "As soon as Bai Yunsheng raised his hand, the boy behind him also blocked Jing Dongheng.
Bai Yunsheng looked at Jing Dongheng and said, "Don't worry, those sitting here are all members of your family, and your third brother is here too."
"My third brother?" Jing Dongheng heard that Jing Shuwen was also here, His heart felt even colder. It would definitely be bad if his enemies got together.
"Yeah, don't stand here and talk too much, take the guests to the table." Bai Yunsheng said, and the two strong boys next to him stretched out their hands.
Jing Dongheng touched the ring in his hand. After removing these things, he also put other things in the treasure hunting backpack. Escape should not be a problem.
"Okay." Jing Dongheng said and followed the boy to sit in the back.
When he got there, he found that there were only two or three sparse tables of people, and most of them were women and children. There was no Jing Shuwen here.
"Oh, you don't know yet? Your third brother is already a scholar. He is sitting in the front yard now. If you want to see him, just wait until the banquet is over and I will call him over." Bai Yunsheng stood over there. After praising Jing Shuwen, saying that he had changed a lot and now looked like a young master from a wealthy family, he turned around and left.
He looked at Jing Dongheng, just covered his mouth and smiled, and then let people see Jing Dongheng sitting there.
Jing Dongheng sat there reluctantly. He was not very panicked because he had a treasure-digging system over there. At worst, he could just turn on the treasure-digging mode and hide.
No matter how powerful those people were, they probably wouldn't have guessed that Jing Dongheng had such abilities.
"I'll sit here."
After waiting for a while, two people who looked like they were in charge also sat on Jing Dongheng's side. Jing Dongheng took a look and knew that this was probably where the servants stayed.
Jing Dongheng's expression was also pale, but the two stewards were fond of saying that no matter how much Jing Dongheng refused, the other party would always force him to drink.
Jing Dongheng sneered in his heart, knowing that Bai Yunsheng probably really thought of himself as a fool, thinking that he couldn't even tell what he was doing?
Jing Dongheng just said that he couldn't drink, and in the end he didn't even drink a glass of wine.
Halfway through the meal, a boy came over and called Jing Dongheng, saying that Aunt Bai Yunsheng wanted to see him for something.
"Let's talk about it after I finish eating." How could Jing Dongheng go to see Aunt Bai alone in the middle of the banquet.
"Don't eat it. My aunt has something urgent to do. Your third brother is also waiting over there." The boy dragged Jing Dongheng away tightly.
The further Jing Dongheng walked, the more he felt there was something going on here. He rolled his eyes quickly, and then he realized that this was not the same road as the one he took before meeting Bai Yunsheng.
"Oh, my aunt and your third brother are waiting for you in another courtyard." The boy said casually, and then led Jing Dongheng to a somewhat quiet courtyard.
As soon as Jing Dongheng entered the yard, he saw a familiar figure from behind. It turned out to be his third brother Jing Shuwen.
He is tall and slender, wearing a nice light-colored robe, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist. His overall popularity is completely different from that of a farmer in the countryside.
"Third brother?" Jing Dongheng called out in pretended surprise.
Jing Shuwen turned around. His facial features were somewhat similar to Wang's sharp appearance, but they were far less protruding than his back.
"Well, you're here." Jing Shuwen looked at Jing Dongheng coldly, and then said, "Let's talk in the room."
"What's going on? Even third brother, you are so mysterious." Jing Dongheng As he spoke, he put his arms around Jing Shuwen's shoulders and opened his powerful ring. Although Jing Shuwen was a little unhappy and wanted to pull away, Jing Dongheng did not allow it.
The two people walked into the house intimately. Jing Dongheng saw Bai Yunsheng standing there with a smile, and a girl with a veil sitting crookedly next to him.
The girl seemed to hear someone coming in, her hands and feet began to shake excitedly, and she was about to slide off the chair.
"Fourth Miss, this is the Jing Dongheng I often mentioned to you. Dongheng, came here to meet the Fourth Miss handed over by our Liu family." Bai Yunsheng smiled and waved to Jing Dongheng.
Jing Dongheng suddenly felt a terrifying anger well up in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Jing Shuwen.
Jing Shuwen looked at Jing Dongheng with a smile and said, "Although the Fourth Miss likes to be a little excited, she is a lady of the Liu family. If she marries you, it will be a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes. You have not deserved it." "
Jing Dongheng heard what Jing Shuwen said and scolded him a hundred times in his heart, but he didn't think about the fight yet. After all, this was in the Liu Mansion.
"I come from a humble background, so I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the fourth lady, but I already have someone in my heart." Jing Dongheng looked at Jing Shuwen and said with a sneer.
"It doesn't matter whether there is someone or not. I am your brother, and my father has agreed to the marriage. There is nothing you can't agree to." Jing Shuwen
He looked at Jing Dongheng with a cruel smile and contempt.
"Dad also agreed? Where is he? I want to ask him." Jing Dongheng took two steps back with disbelief on his face.
At this time, the fourth lady of the Liu family became excited and pulled off the hijab with her hand. Probably because of her illness, the fourth lady's mouth was crooked and her eyes were slanted, and she drooled when she spoke.
When she saw Jing Dongheng, her eyes lit up, and she pointed at Jing Dongheng's room and said something like "a couple."
"Fourth Miss, please don't get excited. This matter is all on me." After Bai Yunsheng finished speaking, he looked at Jing Dongheng and said, "Dongheng, this is a good thing. I know you have a stubborn temper. It doesn't matter if you can't think about it
for a while, you can stay here for a while." "A man and a woman are living together in the same room. For the sake of the fourth lady's reputation, Dongheng, you will have to accept it, otherwise Mr. Liu of the Liu Mansion will not do it. I'll spare you." Jing Shuwen lowered his voice and said in a warning tone: "If you ruin Miss Liu's reputation, I'm afraid your life will be in danger!"
Jing Dongheng was furious when he heard this. He was about to punch Jing Shuwen in the hand, but he also knew that if a fight really broke out, it would be a big trouble.
"Aunt Bai, the master in the front yard has asked Master Jing to come over."
Just at this moment, a servant shouted outside the door, and the four people in the room were stunned for a moment when they heard the sound.
Jing Shuwen looked at Bai Yunsheng and said, "Since Mr. Liu invited me, I'll go over first and leave these things to you."
"Okay, brother Shuwen, please go first." Bai Yunsheng nodded. He nodded, as if he didn't take Jing Dongheng seriously.
"Squeak."
At this time, the door opened, and the boy stretched his head in and said, "Who is Master Jingdong Hengjing? We, Mr. Liu, are inviting you."
"Who do you think Mr. Liu is inviting?" Jing Shu heard the message on his face. His smile suddenly froze. He looked at the boy angrily and said, "Is that a mistake? The only Master Jing here is Jing Shuwen."
"That's right, it's Master Jingdong Hengjing." The servant looked over with a smile.
Although Jing Dongheng didn't understand what was going on, he was lacking a legitimate reason to leave here.
He immediately raised his feet and said, "Okay, I'll go there right away."
"I'll go too!" Jing Shuwen said, raising his feet to follow.
But the boy waved his hand and said that Mr. Liu had an important guest and only Master Jingdong and Hengjing were invited. Jing Xiucai said that there was no need to go there for the time being.
Jing Shuwen's expression changed several times when he heard this, and finally he could only tell Jing Dongheng fiercely that he should be careful with what he said and not offend Mr. Liu.
