"Young Master...Master, please spare our lives. I...I can act as an internal agent for you and kill the eldest son for you."Seeing the situation reversed, the man who had just aggressively taken the lead in besieging Wu Jinghua knelt on the ground, tremblingly begging for mercy.

Wu Jinghua sighed:"This is my family matter, and you lackeys insist on getting involved. Eldest son? After all, he is my eldest brother. Even if he wants to be killed, how will it be your turn? On the contrary, it's you who has been with me for so many years and always falls out with me, just like my big brother. However, I don't want to kill him yet. As for you..."

"Young Master...Young Master, please give me another chance...."The man thought that Wu Jinghua had no murderous intention towards Wu Xun, so he should still have room for mercy towards him. He did not notice the smile on Wu Jinghua's face that said"chill.""

"He is him and you are you. Just because he is not dead does not mean that you can still live."Wu Jinghua said coldly as he looked at the person lying in a pool of blood. Xu Qingjiu stood aside and watched. Although he saw Wu Jinghua's face was cold, he felt that Wu Jinghua was a little sad.

"Young Master, are you okay?"A young man who looked about the same age as Xu Mulin rushed in from the door with another group of people. Seeing this, Xu Mulin drew his sword again to defend himself.

Seeing Xu Mulin's vigilance, Wu Jinghua turned around and nodded at Xu Mulin with a smile. Laughing, he turned to Li Jihua and said,"Jihua, take Senior Brother Xu and the others to rest first. I'll go over after I finish handling this. Seeing that Li Jihua didn't move, Wu Jinghua spoke again:"It's okay. Wu Yang has finished handling it. I'm just going to explain the rest of the matter. It's a mess here. Wu Yang's people have gone over and released all the servants. You guys go first." Have some tea, I'll be there in a moment"

"Cui Bo has arranged for people to serve and prepare. Mr. Li can rest assured."

"Okay, let’s go there first."After saying that, Li Jihua nodded to Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu. Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu didn't bother to ask too much, so they followed Li Jihua and left first.

"Young Master, all the people lurking outside the house have been dealt with. After receiving the news from my father, I rushed here immediately. Fortunately, I didn't miss anything. How are you doing, Young Master? Are there any injuries?"

"I'm fine. After the failed assassination attempt on the outskirts of the city, I returned to the city and went to the inn first. How could I be injured when your father was here. Check these people carefully. Some of them were just drugged and fainted. After they are dealt with, they should all be buried outside the city."

"Yes, sir"

"Keep an eye on the tied one first. Don't let him die. I might have something else for him to do. Wu

Yang took a closer look at the torch and said doubtfully:"Isn't this Lu An who is beside the eldest young master?" If the young master has anything to tell me, what can he do?"

"I think about it again, I may not be able to use him, so I’ll keep it for now."

"yes. All the servants in the mansion have checked it out, and the rest is credible. What do you plan to do with the rest?"

After listening to Wu Yang's words, Wu Jinghua suddenly looked at his palm in a daze, then clenched his fist tightly, his hand trembling slightly.

"Are you okay, sir?"

"I have killed more people today than I have killed in the more than ten years I have lived. Wu Yang, is it because I am too indecisive?"

"Young Master, these people chose the path to put you to death first, then they should bear the consequences. I came from Taiyuan Prefecture today, and I was blocked many times by people sent by the eldest son. If I were late today, I don't know what the consequences would be. Young Master, it is better to make a decision early. The eldest young master is no longer the eldest young master before. Wu

Jinghua chuckled, and then sighed:"He is not the same person as before, but I am still the same person as before." Send those old servants to the caravan leaving customs. It gives them a chance. Whether they can survive or not depends on them. Just tell your brother to be more careful and don't treat them too harshly."

Wu Yang raised his head and looked at Wu Jinghua, curious. How could Wu Jinghua know that something was wrong with the old servant before he even had time to check in the backyard?

"After all, you grew up with me, so why didn't you learn some of my cleverness?"Wu Jinghua turned around and saw Wu Yang's puzzled expression, and asked helplessly:"Wu Yang, you have to know that people become more greedy as they get older, and they can't see clearly the problem if they are bribed by a little benefit. Lao Cui and your father now have two children and a happy family, so they are naturally at ease, but those few are so confused all day long, and they cannot be satisfied no matter how much they give."

Wu Yang listened to what Wu Jinghua said so clearly, but he felt very disdainful next to him.

"Go to work, finish it early and go back to your father, lest he nag me again, saying that I ask you to run out every day, but you are obviously incompetent, so why should you rely on me to prevent you from finding a wife? If this continues, your father will kill me too, do you hear me?"Watching Wu Yang continue to greet the people next to him with disdain to clean up the situation, ignoring his own anger. The person who was busy moving the body with his head down dared to laugh out loud when passing by Wu Jinghua, causing Wu Jinghua to continue He shouted:"Why are you laughing? Wu Yang, take care of your people! After saying that, he walked into the courtyard angrily.

"Why did Wu Yang make you angry again? I hear your voice from so far away."After Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu were settled, Li Jihua was still worried about Wu Jinghua, so he went out to check the situation,"Is there any oversight?"

"Isn't that right? I'm not in tune every day, so I'm always being nagged by Uncle Wu."Wu Jinghua complained.

Li Jihua sighed. He really didn't know how to answer this. Wu Jinghua, the person in charge, was so crooked. How could he blame his subordinates for being"ignorant." When they got to a brighter place, Li Jihua turned around again. When he looked at Wu Jinghua, he realized that after such unreasonable willfulness, Wu Jinghua still could not hide the uneasiness and fear in his heart.

Li Jihua stretched out his hand to hold Wu Jinghua's hand that was tightly grasping the corner of his clothes but could not stop shaking, and comforted him. :"After the New Year, I’ll take you out for a walk. There is nothing wrong with what you do, and don't blame all the consequences on yourself. Your brother has made his decision, and you will make yours, but there is no need to worry too much about others. I know, this is not the result you want today"

"Jihua...I am today...Killed many people."Wu Jinghua lowered his head, with a faint tremor in his voice.

"It's not your fault. It will all be over. It's okay. I'm here."

"But...But I really can't do it. I don't want to fight with him to the death." Wu Jinghua leaned down and leaned on Li Jihua's shoulder, wiping the tears from his face on Li Jihua, and his voice was also crying,"I am too cowardly. But the result is that these originally innocent people died, but I don’t want to be the one who died."

"No, it's not cowardice. You value the friendship you have had with your brother for many years and don't want it to end like this. Also, of course you can't die. I have the final say on your life and death, remember?"Li Jihua was affected by Wu Jinghua's emotions, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, but he still tried his best to suppress his emotions and tried his best to comfort Wu Jinghua.

"Remember. Jihua, please take me away. Maybe as long as I disappear, he can achieve his goal."

"good. I will take you back to Guxia Village to meet my brother first, and then we will continue to travel around. Just like before, you will be my apprentice and help me with free clinics, okay?"

"good. However, I will have no money by then. Will you give me wages to start working? I still have people to support"

"So you want me to give you wages for working and for you to use my money to support me, right?"

"Hmm~" Wu Jinghua was really good at calculating.

Li Jihua was amused,"Can't I support you?"

"no. Wu Jinghua immediately objected,"I can only support you, otherwise others will laugh at me, and your brother will not like me either.""

"Okay, so how much do I have to pay you?"

"No matter what, you are well taken care of."Wu Jinghua shook his head and rubbed Li Jihua's shoulder, and suddenly changed the subject,"I want to kiss you." Without allowing Li Jihua to refuse, Wu Jinghua already nibbled on the leaked neck of Li Jihua.

It was originally to appease Wu Jinghua. Otherwise, how could Li Jihua let Wu Jinghua act like this in this crowded corridor. But Li Jihua suddenly appeared again. Thinking of the embarrassment he had just caused with Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu in the room, he pushed Wu Jinghua away mercilessly and complained angrily:"I just went back to the room and it was really hot. I forgot about it for a moment. The scarf has been taken off, Wu Jinghua, do you still remember the good deeds you did last night? Dare you come now?"

Wu Jinghua raised his head and looked at the faint traces leaking from the edge of the scarf that he had just torn open. Wu Jinghua could only smile flatteringly and said:"I was wrong, I was wrong."As he said that, he hurriedly wrapped the scarf around Li Jihua again.

Seeing that Wu Jinghua was in a difficult situation, Li Jihua didn't want to worry about it for the time being. He just patted Wu Jinghua's head lightly, which was regarded as punishment.

"Sorry to keep you two waiting."As soon as he entered the door, Wu Jinghua began to apologize.

"No problem. Is everything resolved?"Xu Mulin asked

"Everything has been taken care of. He has suffered a lot at the moment. It will be no problem for us to have a stable New Year."

"Are you really okay? Don't be brave. For Jihua's sake, I can still help you."

"Yeah? Thank you very much."Probably such overt and covert quarrels will be the norm for Wu Jinghua and Xu Qingjiu in the future. But now Wu Jinghua looked at Xu Qingjiu's serious expression and felt relieved. After serious expression, she smiled and said:"It's really okay. Thank you very much."

"That's good. My senior brother and I’s luggage is still at the inn. Let’s go back to the inn to stay tonight."

"Uncle Wu...It's the owner of the inn who has already sent all your luggage over."

"The courtyard here is also very quiet. There are only four of us and a few servants living in the house now. It may be inconvenient. If you need anything, just say it and you are welcome."

"Okay, I have almost gotten used to living in Guxiazhuang before, so I won’t see you outside."After Xu Qingjiu finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something seemed not quite right. After reacting for a while, he finally thought of it and asked Li Jihua:"Jihua, have you often lived here before? Why do you feel like you are so familiar with everyone here?"

"Yes, Jing Hua and I have known each other for many years, and we would come over from time to time, so it gradually became a bit casual."Although Li Jihua forgot to take this issue into consideration for a moment, he still responded quickly,"The servants left in the house have all been taken care of for many years. After getting along with them for a long time, they are almost like their own family. You can live as you please."

"Yes, Jihua often stays in my house, and no one knows him."Wu Jinghua also chimed in.

"If that's the case, then it's disturbing."Xu Mulin seemed to have noticed something unusual, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while. Anyway, there is no danger as long as he stays here from now on, so Xu Mulin felt relieved for the time being.

"Senior Brother Xu, you're welcome. Thank you for your help today. It's getting late now, so you two should settle in early. Your luggage will be delivered shortly."In order to avoid further embarrassment after Li Jihua opened his mouth, Wu Jinghua had no choice but to use his host's name first.

"By the way," Seeing that the atmosphere gradually returned to normal, Xu Qingjiu suddenly thought of something,"Can you please give Jihua some mosquito repellent medicine? I was always bitten when I was in Tianzong. I thought it was winter now. Why are there so many biting mosquitoes in Taiyuan?"

"What are you doing following me?"Li Jihua couldn't resist the embarrassment, so he quickly agreed to Xu Qingjiu and then fled away. Looking at Wu Jinghua who was following behind him, Li Jihua felt even more embarrassed.

"Brother ~ I was wrong, I didn’t expect to meet them today last night either"

"Do you think no one will know about the things you do? What does this have to do with Qingjiu and the others? How dare you mess around with me here."As soon as Li Jihua entered the door, he turned around and closed the door.

To avoid making Li Jihua even more angry, Wu Jinghua had to beg for mercy in a low voice outside the door,"Good Jihua, I was really wrong. You can't let me sleep outside. At this time of year, if you let me sleep outside for one night, I will definitely get sick."

"Why don't you just go back to your room and sleep? In a mansion as big as yours, why don't you have a resting place like your master's?"

"Of course there is, isn’t it here?"

"Not anymore from today on. Who knows what you will do if you get carried away. Now that Senior Brother Xu and Qingjiu are here, please behave more honestly. Otherwise I will really deal with you."After saying that, Li Jihua lay down on the bed angrily, pulling aside the high collar that had been heated for a long time, regardless of Wu Jinghua's pitiful pleas outside. Wu Jinghua saw that Li Jihua was really determined to be cruel, so he had no choice but to treat himself Walking to the room, he regretted as he walked:"I knew I would let Xu Qingjiu and the others stay in the inn, why didn't I think of it at the time? It's great now. How long do I have to stay alone in an empty room?"

"Did you make Mr. Li angry again?"Wu Yang wanted to go to the backyard to check on the prisoners. When he passed by, he saw Wu Jinghua alone from a distance and talking to himself as if he was hysterical. Naturally, Wu Yang wanted to seize the opportunity to come over and ridicule him..

Wu Jinghua had just been locked up in the"little dark room" by Li Jihua, and Wu Jinghua was looking for someone to vent his anger on, but Wu Yang was really unlucky and bumped into him,"What do you, a person like you who is not married, know? This is called fun, do you understand?"

"I don’t understand~ I don’t understand~ It’s just that now that there are outsiders living in the house, you should listen to Mr. Li and restrain yourself, because you are just being hesitant in public. You are shameless. If word spreads, shouldn't you take Mr. Li's reputation into account?"

"Wu Yang, please tell me clearly, why am I so shameless? I'm in my own home, why should I restrain myself? If you can't stand it, just stay away from me. I'm upright, so why should I be afraid of anyone saying anything wrong? Also, you call it a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's heart. If Jihua was that kind of person, would he still be with me? You, I guess this is all you can do in this life."

"I...I can't stand it...I can't stand it, can't you take my feelings into consideration?"

"Taking your feelings into consideration? how? Do you like me too?"

"Wu Laoer, don't go too far!"

"How did I go too far? I introduced you to so many girls but you didn't like any of them. In the end, your father still blamed me for all the problems. You still dare to say that I went too far. Why didn't you take my feelings into consideration?"

Wu Yang was speechless, standing aside and sighing.

Seeing Wu Yang sighing, Wu Jinghua couldn't help but sigh as well.

"What are you sighing for? Mr. Li is so good, how can you be worthy of him? Why did he fall in love with you?"

"Last night was a little too much. Jihua asked me to stay alone in the empty room. I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. I finally understand that it has been really difficult for you for more than 20 years. What dissatisfied you with what I introduced to you before? I'll look for you again. If you don't get married, your father will rebel and go to live with my eldest brother. You should just take pity on me. How pitiful it would be if I had to keep my empty house alone while betraying all my relatives....Eh? Did you hear what I said, why are you running?"

Wu Jinghua didn't know where he was talking and Wu Yang slipped away. When he turned around, he could only see an afterimage around the corner. Wu Jinghua was really aggrieved that no one appreciated his hard words, so he couldn't help but say She wanted to go back and complain to Li Jihua, but then she thought about it. Li Jihua must be angry now. If she continued to be so recalcitrant, she would probably make Li Jihua even more angry. Wu Jinghua had no choice but to endure it and decided to wait a few days to make Li Jihua happy. If he continued to beg for mercy and admit his mistake, he might not have to stay alone for more than ten days. Thinking of this, Wu Jinghua felt that it wasn't that hard to endure.
