Chapter 110 - 110: I Will Help You Settle This Matter (1)



Rumble!

Rainstorms in midsummer always came unexpectedly.

At River Shore Wharf, the peddlers and porters who had just disembarked ran back and forth with their hands covering their heads. Ships of all sizes parked on the riverbank bobbed in the waves.

Pei Xiangjun got off the ferry. Xiuhe held an umbrella beside her as they boarded the Pei family’s carriage that was picking her up.

On the ferry, Ye Jingtang was wearing a black robe and holding an oil-paper umbrella while looking at the riverbank, searching for traces of the small ferry.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. The ferry had returned to the eastern suburbs of the capital smoothly. Heroine Luo’s small ferry would stop along the way, and it was slower. It didn’t seem to have reached the port yet.

Little Yunli had kidnapped his bird. He didn’t know if it had gained weight after she fed it for a few days…

Ye Jingtang looked into the distance for a moment, but there was no trace of her. He turned to follow the carriage. Just as he took a few steps, he saw Madam Huang Zhu, who was taking another boat to go to Broad Crossing County, run up to him with an umbrella.

She pushed him toward the ferry at the side. “Young Master, now that the matter with the Water Cloud Sword Pool has been settled, it’s time to go to the Baoyuan School, right?”

After Ye Jingtang dealt with the Zhou family, they naturally had to teach the local Jianghu sects in Yun Province the rules. But they had just returned to the capital, and the storm of the Zhou family had yet to pass, so they had to wait a few days first.

“Aunt Huang, don’t worry. I’ll go to Broad Crossing after I’m done with the matters in the capital.”

Huang Zhu said aggrievedly, “That Li Yuanyuan is too much. It doesn’t matter if he takes my shops’ business. I went to discuss it, but he actually said… said…”

“Hmm?” Ye Jingtang looked at Huang Zhu’s embarrassed expression and frowned. “What did he say?”

“He told me to get lost.”

Ye Jingtang nodded slowly. He felt that the situation was not much different from what he had imagined. “Li Hunyuan really needs to be taught a lesson. But I…”

“Young Master, if you don’t help me, 1 won’t be able to pay the tribute this year. The pavilion lord will definitely punish me… Young Master, why don’t you waive my tribute this year?”

Ye Jingtang raised his hand helplessly. “I’m just an enforcer. You have to ask Third Lady about this.”

Huang Zhu frowned. “How can Third Lady exempt me? If I can’t pay the tribute, according to the sect rules, I have to give my businesses to other helm masters. 1 have no choice but to go to the Li family to fight for my life. Young Master, if I die, please burn more paper money for me…”

Ye Jingtang sighed. “What are you saying? Isn’t it just Li Yuanyuan? I’ll take some time to go there after I finish my work. I’ll make him vomit everything he ate, including the interest.”

Seeing that Ye Jingtang really couldn’t leave, Huang Zhu could only give up. “It’s a promise- When things are settled, I’ll secretly arrange for a few courtesans to reward you without letting the pavilion lord know… Speaking of which, Young Master, do you want a wife? My daughter is fourteen this year. She’s a little young…”

“Sigh…” Ye Jingtang was quite helpless. It was his job. How could he accept a bribe from a helm master? If Third Lady and Heroine Luo heard about it, he would suffer another unexpected calamity. He immediately sent Huang Zhu away with a pleasant expression.

After watching the ship leave, he turned around and boarded the Pei family’s carriage.

In the carriage, Xiuhe was sitting at the side, sorting out account books.

Pei Xiangjun was wearing a light yellow summer dress. The beauty was sitting on the couch with her legs bent and her butt resting on her calves. She was waving the fan in her hand gently, and her bearing was like that of a delicate and charming wife of a wealthy family. “Did Huang Zhu make trouble for you again?”

“It’s not really trouble. I get paid, so this is my job. But I’ll only have time in a few days. Third Lady, you’re tired from the long journey. Go back and rest early. I have to go to the Prince of Jing Estate later and ask about the Zhou family situation. 1 might not have time to come over in the next two days.”

Pei Xiangjun looked elsewhere. “Sigh- 1 can’t help with the Zhou family matter at all. I still have to rely on you to handle the situation on your own. It’s only right for you to visit the Prince of Jing more often. How could 1 stop you?”

Is this called not stopping?Ye Jingtang was already used to this faintly resentful look. He smiled and said, “Third Lady, I will definitely come over to help you when I have time. Speaking of which, Uncle Song said that he wanted you to teach me the Eight Extremities of Thunder…”

Pei Xiangjun paused for a moment. “How could we use it on a merchant ship? Come to the Pei family when you have time. 1’11 teach you slowly. Li Yuanyuan of the Baoyuan School is very skilled with the fist and palm. It’s more interesting to use your opponent’s skills to knock them down.”

Ye Jingtang smiled and said, “Okay.”

Pei Xiangjun pondered for a moment and said gently, “Has your beloved returned to the capital? Are you going to let me go over to meet her, or are you going to let her visit and serve tea to me, an elder?”

Ye Jingtang blinked. “She doesn’t know your identity. Um…”

“Are you afraid that I’ll bully her as an elder?”

“How is that possible…”

“Why not? She poached my person. If I meet her, I have to get her to serve tea and call me martial aunt a few times to establish the rules…”

Ye Jingtang opened his mouth. He could already imagine Heroine Luo’s cold expression when she came back to vent her anger on him after being beaten by Third Lady…

After thinking for a moment, Pei Xiangjun raised her fan. “Forget it. I know that in your heart, your sweetheart is more important than me, a martial aunt who has nothing to do with you. I won’t make things difficult for you. We’ll talk about it later. By the way, you told the Prince of Jing about your relationship with the Red Flower Pavilion. Are you sure the Prince of Jing won’t make me pay tribute?”

Ye Jingtang breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head. “After I came to the Pei family, except for my salary, 1 didn’t receive a single cent more. I have a clear conscience. I’ll explain it to the Prince of Jing. But I’m afraid the spear technique is unavoidable. After all, I have to give the Prince of Jing a greeting gift.”

Pei Xiangjun nodded slightly. “Just tell the Prince of Jing not to spread it. In any case, it’s impossible for the Prince of Jing to fight someone personally.. At most, she’ll find her guards at home to satisfy her cravings…”
