Heng Yi listened.
He nodded in agreement.
Master Wan looked at Heng Yi. He was dressed elegantly and had a noble aura.
Some people would say that Heng Yi had made a name for himself.
However, as Heng Yi’s master, he knew that he was just a blockhead, a fool. If no one led him forward, if he hadn’t met Han Qiao, he might have been a nobody for the rest of his life.
“Master, you have to take your wife to the county town to take a look around. You can stay at my house for a few days.”
“Alright, alright,” Master Wan was flattered by the offer.
He wanted to go to the county town.
His wife also wanted to go.
Since Heng Yi didn’t invite him, he was too embarrassed to ask if he could stay at his house.
During the holidays, Han Qiao also sent some gifts over. Before the person arrived, the gift had arrived first. There was nothing wrong with it.
After sitting at Master Wan’s house for a while and drinking tea, Heng Yi stood up and left.
Master Wan’s wife could not help but sigh, “If I had known that he was so capable, I would have…”
“Shut up!” Master Wan shouted angrily.
In this world, no one could marry Heng Yi except for Han Qiao. She was the one who made him who he was today. He didn’t have any fighting spirit and didn’t want to climb up the social ladder.
It was only because he had a strong motivation that he worked hard and strived to let the person he loved live a good life.
If he married someone he didn’t like, it didn’t matter how she lived. As long as she was alive, would she have the glory she had today?
Master Wan’s wife felt a little wronged but she was in the dark with all the hardships Heng Yi and Han Qiao had gone through.
She was jealous. Heng Yi was successful now, and Ling’er wasn’t doing well…
Heng Yi didn’t know about the conversation between his master and his wife. When he returned to the Hu family, the food was ready.
He had brought the wine from the county town.
Third Brother Hu’s wife was a capable person and had cooked several dishes.
Father Hu was supported and leaned against the chair.
When Heng Yi came over, Father Hu was happy. He usually ate very little, like porridge and soup. Today, he took a lot of bites to his meal.
He wanted to take a sip of wine, but his son wouldn’t allow it, and Heng Yi also advised him not to.
He smiled and said, “I’m not going to drink,”
He was already thin when Heng Yi saw him last, but now he was just skin and bones.
The person who had once waved at him with a smile and called Heng Yi to come over and give him a bun was now terminally ill. There would be no tomorrow after today. Heng Yi felt a little uncomfortable at the thought.
“Uncle Hu.” Heng Yi wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.
Father Hu smiled, “Good child, you miss Uncle. Just come and visit him more often in the future. You are now a member of the Imperial Court. If you are busy, don’t come. Uncle understands.”
The more Father Hu acted like this, the more upset Heng Yi felt, “Uncle Hu, why don’t Brother Hu take you to the county town? Chenzhou is fine too.”
“I won’t go, I won’t go. I know my body well. I’ll just endure like this. If I go to the county town or Chenzhou, I’ll die with regrets if I don’t come back.”
Of course, the most important thing was to spend money outside.
“Then I’ll help you find medical experts!” Heng Yi said.
“You’re so thoughtful.”
Father Hu was a person who had been ill for a long time after all. He couldn’t take it after sitting for a while.
He stopped eating much and Third Brother Hu helped him back to his room to rest.
Third Brother Hu’s wife went to fetch water for her father-in-law to wash his face and feet. When Third Brother Hu came back, Heng Yi was drinking wine slowly.
He sat down next to Heng Yi and poured wine for him.
“I didn’t drink enough.”
“I can tell. You just casually took a sip. To be honest, the you from the past and the you now are simply like a different person.”
Who didn’t want to climb up the social ladder? Who didn’t want to be someone capable?
Heng Yi had become above everyone else.
After dinner, Heng Yi washed up and lay down.
Dong Lai was sleeping on a bed on the floor.
Speaking of servants, they were very well-behaved, especially at the end of last month. In addition to Han Qiao’s monthly salary, she also gave everyone last month’s reward, which was several times more than the monthly salary. In short, everyone in the residence was particularly hardworking.
He worked as if he was carrying the wind.
Heng Yi couldn’t sleep thinking about Han Qiao.
Back in the Heng Manor in Puyi County, Han Qiao also lies awake thinking about her husband.
The bed was warm and clean, but she didn’t have that warm person by her side. Shulan and Duan Yue’s massages were not bad, but despite Heng Yi’s clumsiness, she liked them more.
She turned around and sighed.
“Madam can’t sleep?” Shulan asked softly.
“Okay, talk to me for a while.”
Han Qiao asked about the other maids.
Among her maidservants, Xia He was still not sure if she wanted the child in her stomach or not. The other one was lazier than anyone else. One was quick-witted and thought about seducing the master all day. The other one was busy working. Wherever there was work, she would be there.
Only Duan Yue and Shulan were normal.
The two of them chatted casually.
“Shulan, do you still want to get married?” Han Qiao asked.
Shulan hesitated for a moment before saying, “I don’t want to. Dong Lai is a very outstanding and smart man. I’m afraid that I’ll embarrass myself if I ask.” “How would we know if we don’t try?” Han Qiao smiled.
Dong Lai was indeed smart.
He was reliable and knew some martial arts. However, he only knew a little of the world. He was not particularly powerful.
“I will test him for you another day and see what he thinks. If he has the heart, you can get married. At least you’ll have a home and someone that both of you can care about.”
Shulan was silent for a moment, “Thank you, Madam.”
She never thought that she would have the chance to get married in this lifetime.
The next day, Heng Yi woke up early, tidied up, and left with Dong Lai after breakfast.
It was still a little early by the time he arrived at the entrance of an alley.
Heng Yi didn’t knock on the door. Instead, he kicked it down.
There was a loud bang.
Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng, who were sleeping in the house, screamed in fear.
“Old man, the earth dragon has made a comeback!”
The two of them hurriedly put on their clothes.
The sound of something being smashed came from the kitchen.
Heng Yi casually picked up a stick and started to smash his way into the kitchen.
He smashed everything, including pots and pans, cupboards, and tables. Nothing was left in his wake.
By the time Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng arrived, Heng Yi had already destroyed the kitchen.
The two of them widened their eyes.
“Fifth Son, what are you doing?” Old Woman Heng screamed.
Heng Yi pushed her away.
He went straight to the main room.
He started to smash the things in the central room. He picked up the chair and smashed the long table. With a crack, the chair broke into pieces.
In just a moment, the central room was also in a mess, with wood and sawdust all over the ground.
Old Woman Heng cried, “Don’t smash it! Don’t smash it!”
Old Man Heng wanted to step forward, but Heng Yi held a wooden stick against his neck, “If you dare to stop me today, I will kill you.”
“For what you did, it will still be a great act of righteousness for me to kill you,”
Old Man Heng was shocked by the viciousness in Heng Yi’s eyes.
Heng Yi went to the study and smashed everything inside.
The old couple were sleeping in the main room now, and it smelled horrible. Heng Yi threw all the clothes and bedding into the yard, then smashed the bed and wardrobe.
Old Woman Heng hurriedly found her silver box, but Heng Yi snatched it away.
“That’s mine! It’s mine, give it back to me!”
Many people were awakened by the noise and now stood outside the courtyard, watching the show.
Of course, they all felt that Heng Yi had gone too far, but they also felt that his anger was understandable.
After Heng Yi had smashed everything in the yard, Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng’s clothes and bedding were burned clean.
Old Man Heng’s face darkened but he didn’t let out a peep of complaint. Old Woman Heng cried so hard that she almost fainted.
“Come with me immediately and return the money you cheated back..”
