The Jin Shanyao flickered and lit up, then looked at Su Wenqian. Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, she couldn't help but remind him, "Aren't you going to reply to her?"
Su Wenqian took a deep breath, " Jin Shanyao... Are you here to deliver a gift or to stir up trouble?"
No... I was pulling a cart full of food, didn't you see? Are you blind?
Considering that he was Meng Anci's teacher and practically one of his own, he decided to show some concern.
" Anzhi... could you take Lord Su's pulse? He's been taking deep breaths ever since he came in; I suspect he has lung disease."
"You're the one... ah..." Su Wenqian's thigh was pinched hard by his wife, and the pain made him swallow the rest of his sentence.
Jin Shanyao softly, thinking, "That kind of male deserves to be beaten and taught a lesson..." With that thought, she got up and walked quickly outside. Madam Su thought she was angry and hurriedly chased after her.
In the backyard of the government office, Jin Shanyao hands. As she turned around, she almost bumped into Madam Su. She took half a step back and coughed twice.
"You're just in time, here... take this and whip him," Jin Shanyao the willow branch into her hand and patted Madam Su's shoulder.
" Zhiwei... be ruthless, don't be soft-hearted. If this one's gone, we'll find another."
"What are you saying, Jin Shanyao..." Su Wenqian had just come out when he saw Jin Shanyao instigating his wife to murder her husband and remarry.
Su Wenqian's anger surged. He strode forward, snatched the willow branch from Madam Su's hand, and raised it to strike Jin Shanyao, yelling, "I'll teach you to behave badly! I'll teach you to give gifts indiscriminately! I'll teach you to sow discord!"
" Old Su... do you know who I am? How dare you hit me?"
Jin Shanyao was chased all over the yard, yelling, "Have you thought this through? What will happen if you fall on that willow branch?"
"I don't care about the consequences. Even if the King of Heaven himself comes, I'll beat you to death today..."
Jin Shanyao slightly taken aback. Su Wenqian not only knew King of Hell, but also the Jade Emperor. His background was much stronger than hers.
No, she has to have a word with Taishang Laojun when she has time, urging him to work harder. At over ten thousand years old, he should be striving for success, so she doesn't lack confidence when advocating for others.
Su Wenqian was no match for Jin Shanyao. He chased her for half an hour but couldn't hit her even once. He caught sight of Meng Anci standing under the eaves out of the corner of his eye and immediately changed direction.
He grabbed Meng Anci and Jin Shanyao, "Stop... or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Jin Shanyao there stunned, thinking, "Oh no... the downside of Meng Anci Su Wenqian's offer to be his disciple has appeared, damn it..." Her eyes darkened slightly; it was time to let Ghost One come and warm the bed.
Half an incense stick later.
Jin Shanyao, Meng Anzhi, and Meng Anci stood at the back gate of the government office, carrying three stacks of books, looking at the tightly closed gate.
"Auntie... were we kicked out?"
Jin Shanyao forced a smile through her teeth, "How could that be? Lord Su is extremely busy; he must have suddenly encountered urgent official business and is unable to entertain us."
She adjusted the book that was teetering in her arms and said casually, "Let's go home."
Anzhi Hall.
Jin Shanyao through the " Etiquette and Ceremonial " given to him by Su Wenqian, clicked his tongue twice, casually tossed it aside, and took out the " Record of Admonishing Evil " to start again.
Article 1565: You do whatever she tells you to do; if she tells you to jump into the river, will you? (Annotation: I tell you to repeat, you repeat; I tell you...) The Jin Shanyao paused slightly as she wrote, "I tell you to eat shit, will you eat shit?"
In conclusion: the most effective rebuttal is to use the other person's rules to force them to speak... Jin Shanyao thought for a moment and added a sentence at the end, which was incredibly powerful.
Perfect...
A deafening rumble of thunder echoed across the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.
Jin Shanyao away " The Record of Admonishing Evil," then stood up under the awning outside the shop and reached out to catch the rainwater... The cool, damp rain felt very comfortable on her body.
She instinctively walked towards the street, but her belt was suddenly grabbed tightly. Turning around, she saw Meng Anzhi and Meng Anci looking at her with resentful eyes.
Meng Anzhi: "Auntie... are you going out to play in the water again? I've told you so many times, you can't go out in the rain, you might get struck by lightning."
Meng Anci, "Auntie, be good... we're not playing," and then led the girl into the house with Jin Shanyao hand.
Meng Anzhi even poured her a cup of tea and placed it in her hand, saying, "Auntie, would you like some hot tea?"
Jin Shanyao stared at the steaming hot tea, then glanced at the torrential rain outside, and swallowed hard.
Just as she was quenching her thirst with the thought of rain, a familiar figure flashed past the street corner. The person was not carrying an umbrella, but was holding a bundle in their arms, and was soaked from head to toe.
Meng Anzhi followed her gaze and asked, " Miao Dou? In this heavy rain, why isn't she resting at the manor? What is she doing here?"
Meng Anci glanced over and saw Miao Dou hurriedly enter the alley. He said coldly, "There's a gambling den at the end of the alley. I've seen Yu Manzi there before."
Zhou Xiaosi put down the pestle, took off his apron and said, "I'll go take a look, make sure they don't get beaten up again..." He then hurriedly chased after him with an umbrella.
The rain grew heavier, pounding against the bluestone slabs with a crackling sound. Before long, Zhou Xiaosi ran back with an umbrella, closed it, and swung it forcefully twice towards the door.
He then planted the umbrella on the ground and said, "Master, guess what I saw?" His words drew the attention of everyone in the room.
Meng Anzhi asked anxiously, "Did you get beaten up again?"
"She got beaten up..." Zhou Xiaosi curled his lip. "I saw her and Yu Manzi standing outside the gambling den, chatting and laughing. Yu Manzi even gave her sweet cakes. The two of them were acting like newlyweds."
Jin Shanyao her lips, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
Meng Anzhi wondered, "Could it be that Yu Manzi has changed his ways and wants to live a normal life?"
"I'm not so sure..." Meng Anci's eyes darkened. "Tell Wu Yong tomorrow to keep an eye on Miao Dou. After all, she's not from our village, and it'll be difficult to handle if something happens to her."
"Okay..." Meng Anzhi said, looking at Jin Shanyao, "Auntie, why aren't you saying anything?"
Jin Shanyao and said, "Since the affairs of the estate have been entrusted to you... I have no choice but to rely on you for both personnel and management."
"Auntie..." Meng Anzhi threw herself into her arms, hugging her neck and complaining, "The medicinal herbs on the mountain will be harvested soon, and I'm worried without you here."
Jin Shanyao hugged her and laughed heartily. Wu Yong had already told her about Miao Dou's matter, but she wanted to see how Meng Anzhi would handle it, after all, even a good knife needs a whetstone.
Meng Anci also wanted to hug his aunt, but he was already seven years old, and would be eight in two months. He sighed inwardly; time flies, and he thought back to when he was four...
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.
Meng Anci out of her thoughts, tidied up the books Su Wenqian had given her, and was about to take them to the study when her aunt said, "Put them on my desk; I'll study them carefully tonight."
Meng Anci was stunned, feeling a little uneasy.
These books are all about etiquette and etiquette, which my aunt usually never touches. But today she specifically reminded me to read them, which must be because she listened to Su Wenqian and felt that her words and actions would affect him.
"Auntie, you don't need to look at these things," he said earnestly. "You will always be yourself. You don't need to imitate others or try to fit in with anyone. Anci will work hard on her own. Even if you roll around on the floor, I can still make them praise you for being lively."
Jin Shanyao glared at him, "You're the one rolling around on the ground!"
Meng Anci is now a scholar, and as Su Wenqian said, she absolutely cannot let her child down.
We must never repeat the mistake of giving the wrong gift today, otherwise we'll give others a handle to use against us.
