317 Xu Jiangzhong Becomes an Official

After dinner, Deng Jiangming and Hua Yuncheng came. Looking at Ao Jie, who was full, they were very indignant! They had actually missed out on trying Qiao Yanhui’s cooking?

In the end, the three of them were sent to the study by Qiao Yanhui. Naturally, they didn’t dare to mention the food again.

Xu Qing also went to do her own things. While she was away for more than a year, Lei Wangshu, her brother, and Xie Pengyang’s influence were also expanding.

Upon hearing their report, Xu Qing was silent for a moment before saying, “You guys did very well.” These people were very loyal. Not only did they have a sense of propriety, but they were also considerate of her.

Lei Wangshu and the others smiled as they said, “This is what we should do.”

After giving the report, Lei Yanning thought about how his sister hadn’t seen Xu Qing for a long time and probably had a lot to say, so he went back first.

Xu Qing looked at Lei Wangshu and Xie Pengyang, who wanted to say something but hesitated. She immediately smiled and said, “When are you guys going to get married?”

Lei Wangshu and Xie Pengyang were stunned, but then they blushed in embarrassment. “Turns out you already know…”

Xu Qing chuckled. “I can sense the love in the air.”

Lei Wangshu was a little embarrassed when she recalled how she told Xu Qing that she didn’t want to get remarried. But now, she actually had the intention to get married. It could only be said that time could really change a lot of things.

Xie Pengyang looked at Lei Wangshu expectantly, but Lei Wangshu’s expression dimmed. This made Xie Pengyang a little flustered and he immediately said pitifully, “You don’t want to marry me anymore?”

Lei Wangshu looked at Xie Pengyang with mixed feelings. To be honest, she was traumatized by marriage. She was afraid that after marriage, a man’s true colors would be revealed. After all, Yin Shaoqing had been very attentive to her back then. Men were very fickle…

“I’ll think about it,” Lei Wangshu lowered her eyes and said.

Xie Pengyang became even more anxious. “Did Yin Shaoqing come looking for you again?” As he spoke, he had the urge to go beat Yin Shaoqing up.

Ever since the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince died, Lei Wangshu had successfully taken over the Yin family’s assets. Most of the Yin family’s current assets were brought by her when she had married into the Yin family back then. Now, she naturally had to take them back. After that, the Yin family only had a courtyard house left. However, someone had burned it down, so the Yin family was penniless now.

Yin Shaoqing saw that Lei Wangshu was earning more and more money from Bei Shu, so he was naturally indignant. He came to pester her every day, in hopes of getting back together. Since Lei Wangshu didn’t agree, he started to use their children to force Lei Wangshu to agree.

Although in the end, Yin Shaoqing was beaten up so badly by Xie Pengyang and Lei Yanning that he couldn’t get out of bed, this matter still affected Lei Wangshu’s mood and made her feel disgusted.

“He didn’t come.” Lei Wangshu frowned in disgust when she thought of Yin Shaoqing. A person who even exploited his biological children was really inhumane.

“Then what’s the reason?” Xie Pengyang was a little agitated. If it wasn’t because of Yin Shaoqing, could it be because she didn’t like him enough?

“Xie Pengyang, go back first,” Xu Qing hurriedly said. She knew that even if Xie Pengyang continued to interrogate Lei Wangshu, she wouldn’t tell him.

Xie Pengyang could only leave reluctantly. Actually, he was also a very insecure person. This had something to do with his past.

Xu Qing said helplessly, “Being afraid of the future is not a problem, but it’s a problem if you don’t dare to move forward. You should treat your past as a meaningful experience.”

Lei Wangshu’s expression stiffened. She also understood that this was unfair to Xie Pengyang. No matter what, she had to give it a try. “I understand.” With that, she chased after Xie Pengyang. She realized that she didn’t want to hurt Xie Pengyang’s feelings.

Xu Qing smiled, but didn’t say anything. Then, she looked at Xu Sizhi, who had been sitting silently at the side, and asked, “Tell me, what is it?”

Xu Sizhi felt helpless. There had been too much unexpected news these past few days. “Xu Jiangzhong became an official and he’s highly valued by Ao Heng now!” With Xu Jiangzhong’s ability, it was impossible for him to meet the emperor. Moreover, Xu Jiangzhong had been thrown into the wilderness and had been stripped of his clothes, so he was penniless. Everyone thought that he would definitely go back home. After all, Xu Jiangzhong cared a lot about his reputation. However, they didn’t expect him to beg his way to the capital. By the time, he arrived in the capital, he was no different from a beggar.

Then, in a strange twist of events, he helped save Bao Hongyi. Although Bao Hongyi felt disdainful, the scene of a beggar saving him had been seen by others, so he could only send him to the hospital. When he was about to leave, Xu Jiangzhong took out the examination certificate. When Bao Hongyi saw the address and surname on it, he had an idea.

Bao Hongyi was Old Master Lei’s top disciple! If Xu Jiangzhong was related to Xu Qing, he would have to make good use of him. Therefore, he brought Xu Jiangzhong back. Along the way, Bao Hongyi received praise from the commoners for his benevolence, since he even repaid a beggar for saving him.
