Chapter 121: The Toad Wants to Eat the Swan
After being severely beaten in Tingyi Building that day, Zhang Fangping was determined to get revenge.
He swore that once he caught the handsome man, he would take him to a yard in the suburbs and torture him until he couldn't get out of bed, to avenge his previous humiliation!
So, Zhang Fangping went to great lengths and spent seven or eight hundred taels of silver to inquire, and finally found the man's whereabouts in Jiangcheng.
Early this morning, Zhang Fangping received the news before dawn and immediately brought his men to block outside Xu's house.
But he never expected that the white-faced man he met in Tingyi Tower that day was actually a woman!
When she put on women's clothes, she looked like a fairy from heaven!
The moment he saw her true face, Zhang Fangping forgot all his hatred and grudges.
Now, he just wants to have a taste of her beauty and have a romantic moment with the fairy.
"Sir, the sacks and iron bars are ready.
As soon as that kid from the Xu Mansion comes out, we will knock him out and send him to the yard in the suburbs for you to play with.
Once he sees how powerful you are in bed, he will surely fall at your feet and beg for your love every day."
The servant who arrived late squatted beside Zhang Fangping, licked his face and began to flatter him.
But this time, his flattery hit the wrong horse again.
Zhang Fangping was distracted, admiring the beauty's beauty, when he heard the servant's spoiling voice, he was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked the servant's noisy mouth hard.
Two teeth fell to the ground mixed with blood. The servant burst into tears, not knowing what had upset Zhang Fangping. He quickly got up and kowtowed under the shoe prints:
"Sir, calm down, sir, calm down.
Just tell me what you want, and don't be angry with me.
My life is worthless, so be careful not to get too angry and harm your health."
"roll!
If you dare to touch a hair of this beauty without my permission, I will peel your skin off!"
Zhang Fangping kicked the servant on the shoulder again and cursed fiercely.
The servant fell and crawled to Zhang Fangping's legs again, blood coming out of his mouth and nose, and he kept kowtowing:
"All is subject to your instructions, sir.
I would never dare to act on my own!"
Zhang Fangping kicked the man away in annoyance, staring at the closed door of Xu Mansion opposite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhang Fangping picked up the servant from the ground, patted his face, and threatened fiercely:
"Now I want you to find something.
If you find it quickly, I will reward you handsomely.
If you’re slow in finding it, I’ll break your legs…”
After Mrs. Song brought Song Xixi into the house, she first praised Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun highly before talking about other things.
Jiang Wumei and the other person are very good at acting according to the situation. When facing someone as kind and enthusiastic as Mrs. Song, they only need to pay a little attention to keep the topic under control.
The four of them chatted and drank tea until it was almost lunchtime, when Mrs. Song and her daughter got up to say goodbye.
She came today to test the character of the two masters of the Xu family. Seeing that they were well-spoken and noble, and there were no men in the house, she felt at ease letting her precious daughter interact with them.
After seeing Mrs. Song and her daughter off and promising to go out for an outing with them tomorrow, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun closed the door and returned to the courtyard to busy themselves with other matters.
At night, a carrier pigeon flew into the sky from a corner of Xu's house.
The candlelight flickered, filling the room with light.
After finishing the night and refining the afternoon pills, Xu Junjun finally got down to business.
"Niao Niao, I've had enough fun these days. In a couple of days, let's go find a storefront and open a medicine shop."
It is enjoyable to take a break from your busy schedule, but it is boring to be idle all the time.
The empty-hearted Xu Junjun can't wait to return to his old job and aspire to become a miraculous doctor in the Great Sage Dynasty!
Jiang Wumei knew Xu Junjun's ambitions and naturally supported them with all her strength:
“The day after tomorrow.
Then let the agent take us around the city and pick the most suitable location."
Xu Junjun nodded twice, then smiled and started talking about other things with Jiang Wumei.
After chatting for a while, the two best friends took a rest.
Zhang Fangping's men waited in Xu's house all night. The next morning, they saw a carriage from the Song's house come to pick up the two beautiful girls from Xu's house, so they hurried back to report the news.
Upon hearing the news, Zhang Fangping couldn't wait to go out and took his men to chase the beauty.
The Song family has a manor on the outskirts of the city, which has several hot spring pools.
Today, I specially invited Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun to visit the manor together. Mrs. Song was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process. As soon as they arrived, she asked the maid to take Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun to take a hot spring bath.
Jiang Wumei was pregnant and didn't go into the water, so Xu Junjun got all the benefits.
The hot spring pool is quite large, enough for one person to swim back and forth in it.
After taking off her clothes, Xu Junjun, wearing only a thin bellyband and homemade underwear, jumped into the water with a splash. Like a happy fish, she rolled and tumbled in the pool, splashing warm water all over Jiang Wumei who was standing next to her.
The steam was thick, and Xu Junjun, who had swum enough, finally stopped and looked up at Jiang Wumei, who was sitting by the pool drinking tea:
"Niao Niao, feed me a piece of lotus cake."
Flapping his legs, Xu Junjun jumped up and swam to the edge, climbed the wall of the hot spring pool, opened his mouth wide towards Jiang Wumei, waiting to be fed.
Throwing a cake into her mouth and feeding her a sip of tea, Jiang Wumei looked at the green bamboos beside the hot spring and said with a smile:
"Mrs. Song knows how to enjoy life. If such a nice hot spring villa were placed in the capital, it would cost at least tens of thousands of taels.
But even in Jiangcheng, owning a villa like this would cost a lot of money, and the Song family has some wealth."
After swallowing the sweet cake, Xu Junjun asked Jiang Wumei to feed her another one. While chewing, she said:
"I've heard that the Song family next door to us, father and son, have been doing business abroad for many years and have a very rich family background.
A hot spring villa is not a big deal for the Song family."
Jiang Wumei nodded, and seeing that Xu Junjun particularly liked this hot spring pool, she said:
"If you really like this, when we look for a shop tomorrow, let's ask our agent to recommend a few villas with hot springs.
In our spare time, we can also go to the farm to soak in the hot springs, pick fruits and vegetables, etc."
At this moment, Jiang Wumei was still thinking about the future of the two.
Xu Junjun's eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly:
“That’s a good idea.
Hot spring villa, swing hot pot.
When the little one is born, we will go to the villa together to hunt pheasants and catch crickets, and give the little one a perfect childhood."
As she spoke, Xu Junjun herself began to look forward to it.
Jiang Wumei laughed:
"What pheasants, crickets, all you do all day is jump around.
If it's a girl, if you continue raising her like this, she'll probably turn out to be a naughty monkey."
"My dear ladies, it's time for lunch. Madam invites you to come and have your meal."
Xu Junjun turned her head and was about to reply when she heard the respectful voice of a maid outside the house.
"Got it. We sisters will be here soon."
After shouting at the top of her lungs, Xu Junjun climbed out of the hot spring pool, wiped off the water droplets, and quickly put on her clothes.
After soaking for half a day, Xu Junjun felt refreshed. She put on her dress and walked out of the room with Xu Junjun.
The maid led the two to the dining room, where Mrs. Song and Song Xixi were already waiting.
Seeing the two people coming, Song Xixi raised her red little round face and smiled at them happily.
After lunch, the four of them came to the highest pavilion in the manor, sat around drinking tea and chatting, and before they knew it, an hour had passed.
It was getting late, and Mrs. Song was afraid that it would be dark on the way back, so she gave Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun a lot of local products from the farm, and they all returned to the city together.
As soon as the carriage left the farm, Zhang Fangping's eyes lit up and he rode his horse quickly to catch up.
