Chapter 392 Testing
Of course no one can bully the people his junior brother cares about!
In the Yan family of Chuzhou, the third son of the Yan family sat on the main seat in the main hall.
All matters concerning the Yan family's ancestral home were decided by his father. Now that the old man was in poor health, most of the household affairs were handed over to him.
He now has the potential to take over his father's position. The Yan family members are very good at reading people's expressions and now appear to be following the Third Young Master's lead.
The third young master also enjoyed this feeling.
The steward beside him stood respectfully below and reported on the situation of the Mi family in recent days:
“Master, I heard that the Mi family arranged a marriage for Miss Mi a few days ago. It’s a boy named Kaiyang. I heard that he has a relationship with someone who works for the Bai family.
Xiao, the shopkeeper of the Bai family office, went to his engagement ceremony in person."
Upon hearing this, Third Master Yan raised his eyelids, curled his lips and said disdainfully:
"Mrs. Mi is desperate and wants to get rid of her daughter?! Humph! Whether the daughter of the Mi family can get married depends on whether I agree or not."
The young steward immediately agreed: "That's right, that's right, the Mi family is now on the chopping block, and the Third Young Master has the final say on how to deal with them!"
The third young master lazily ordered:
"Go! Send a message to Shopkeeper Xiao at the Bai family office, saying that my Yan family has a lucrative business and would like to cooperate with the Bai family, and invite them to come over for a chat."
The steward bowed and nodded as he delivered the visiting card.
Tianjizi fiddled with the Yan Mansion's visiting card with disdain.
"What is the Yan family going to do?"
Master Wangyue: "Let Manager Xiao go and take a look, and you'll know. As long as the Yan family has no problem with their brains, they shouldn't neglect the manager of the Bai family."
Manager Xiao said calmly:
"This post should have been sent by the Third Young Master of the Yan Family. I heard that the Third Young Master is in charge of many matters in the Yan Family now."
Tianjizi nodded and asked him to bring a few skilled guards to participate.
In the evening, Manager Xiao arrived in a swaggering manner as agreed, and Third Master Yan greeted him with a smile from a distance:
"Oh, Shopkeeper Xiao, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person! Please come in..."
Manager Xiao had a warm smile on his face and clasped his fists in return, "Oh, I'm late, I'm late, please don't blame me, Third Young Master."
After exchanging greetings, the two sides sat in the Plum Blossom Hall of the Yan family and drank tea.
The servants had already started serving food at the large dining table in the center of the hall.
After the servants of the Yan family left in an orderly manner, the third son of the Yan family warmly entertained Manager Xiao.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Third Master Yan laughed and joked:
“I heard that Shopkeeper Xiao went to the Mi family’s engagement banquet, which shows that he has a close relationship with the Mi family. We are also old friends with the Mi family, but it’s a pity that the Mi family is holding a family banquet this time.
Otherwise, our Yan family will definitely go and join in the fun."
Shopkeeper Xiao's face did not waver at all. He swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped his mouth before saying:
"Haha, you mean the girl from the Mi family? Yes! I went there in person.
The young man we are engaged to is a close associate of our employer, and he is quite a handsome man!
I was on behalf of the young man's family to exchange the engagement letter and the engagement token with the Mi family.
Mrs. Mi asked a Taoist priest to match our horoscopes, and he said it was a match made in heaven, and she was extremely satisfied. "
Third Master Yan's cheek twitched. The Mi family actually got involved with the Bai family?
The smile on the Third Young Master's face looked forced:
"Oh, that's great. Who arranged this marriage?"
I know who is meddling in this matter. I'll make sure someone chops him to pieces!
Young Master Yan San thought bitterly in his heart.
Manager Xiao raised his eyebrows and said proudly:
"It was God who brought them together! Haha... Let me tell you, their fate started with a heavy rain..."
Manager Xiao didn't care how unhappy the Third Young Master's expression was and continued talking incessantly.
When talking about something happy, he would clap his thighs and exclaim in admiration...
Young Master Yan San knew the whole story. He was furious but he had to put on a smile. In the end, he talked about business matters with Manager Xiao.
When Manager Xiao left, the people around him were carrying large and small bags of gifts they had brought back from the Yan family.
The Third Master Yan looked at the person walking away with a gloomy look in his eyes, and said to the steward beside him:
"Go! Check on Mei Niang to see how she's doing. It's been so many days, it's time to drag Mi Lao Er into the water!"
Even if the Mi family hooks up with the Bai family, so what? He won’t ruin this marriage!
He just didn't believe it. If there was a murderer in the Mi family, would the Bai family still be willing to have someone around them marry into the Mi family?
Young Master Yan San smiled with a determination to win!
Unfortunately, things went against one's wishes. Something went wrong on Mei Niang's side and Mi Lao Er disappeared.
In the courtyard, Mei Niang's foster mother smiled and said to the Yan family's steward:
"Please put in a few good words for us and Third Master Yan. Second Master Mi hasn't come to our courtyard recently, so this matter has been delayed.
Give us a few more days. If Mr. Mi comes, I will make sure he can't leave our courtyard!" He quickly stuffed a big purse into his hand.
The steward pushed the annoying old woman away and said sinisterly:
"You took my young master's money, but didn't do anything for him! And you even fooled me with it. I think you don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!
Come here! Smash it for me! Let them know what happens if they offend the third son of the Yan family! "
A group of burly guards rushed over with ferocious looks and started smashing people and things. The guards in the courtyard didn't dare to attack the guards of Yan's mansion at all.
I just stopped them a few times symbolically to rescue a few valuable ornaments.
In a short while, the courtyard was smashed to pieces and everyone was injured.
The girls all hid in the building and no one dared to come down.
The steward stepped on the foster mother's neck, spat fiercely, and warned:
"If you dare to ruin our young master's business, your life will end. Do you really think that our young master's money is so easy to take?
I advise you to find a way to deal with Mi Lao Er as soon as possible, otherwise the result will be either he dies or you die!
It's up to you! Our young master doesn't have a very good patience."
The foster mother kept agreeing, "I know! I will do it as soon as possible, right away!"
She lay on the ground in a miserable state, her attitude extremely submissive.
The steward of the Yan residence shook the purse in his hand triumphantly, then left with his men!
After seeing those people leave, the girls in the small building came out trembling and surrounded their adoptive mother to comfort her.
The foster mother was helped up by them and slapped each of them in the face.
Mei Niang, in particular, was grabbed by the collar and slapped countless times by her adoptive mother.
The corners of Mei Niang's mouth were bleeding, but her adoptive mother was still not satisfied and wanted to beat her again, but was pulled away by her adoptive father.
The adoptive father was also beaten and his whole body was in pain, but he had to hold his mad daughter-in-law and persuade her:
"Stop hitting it. If it's broken, who will make money for us?"
The foster mother pointed at Mei Niang and said angrily:
"Go find Mr. Mi right now, or I'll skin you alive! Get out, get out!"
