âYes, yes. We can decide!â The Third Elder said hurriedly.
âWhat about the proof?â Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.
âUh! Lass, take this token. In the future, all the inns and lodging in the Lan family will be free of charge!â The First Elder pulled a token from his waist helplessly and handed it to Leng Ruoxue. He couldnât help muttering in his heart, Why was this little girl so shrewd! Alas! If their Lan family had such a descendant, would they still be afraid that the Lan family would not be prosperous forever?
âThen I wonât stand on ceremony.â Leng Ruoxue took the token and stored it in her ring.
âLass, can we leave now?â The Third Elder couldnât help asking. They should be able to go home since the problem of dinner was resolved!
âIs there anything else you need these two servants to do?â Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze to everyone.
âYes!â
âA lot!â
âYes, I have something too!â
âIâve been waiting for them all dayâ¦â
Everyone spoke at once. However, the heartbeat of the First Elder and Third Elder accelerated with every word they said. The two old men almost fainted when they were done speaking!
âI see! But theyâre both so tired today. Iâll plead for them. Let them go back and rest early!â Leng Ruoxue pleaded.
âAlright! Then go back early today! Donât oversleep tomorrow. Thereâs a pile of work waiting for you!â Leng Qingtian reminded them.
âUh, okay!â The First Elder and Third Elder swallowed their anger and answered. Boohoo⦠They were so tired that they didnât even want to get up!
âEh? Why arenât you leaving yet?â Leng Ruoxue asked in surprise when she saw that they were still lying motionlessly after a while.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLass, we canât walk anymore!â The First Elder said helplessly. Alas! He really wanted to cry!
âOh! Then Iâll get the shopkeeper to send you back!â Leng Ruoxue said thoughtfully.
âHehe, little girl, youâre so kind-hearted!â The Third Elder couldnât help but praise.
âThird Elder, I wonât call him for nothing. You have to pay me,â Leng Ruoxue reminded with a light smile.
âUh!â The Third Elder was dumbfounded. His flattery was in vain. Moreover, he was kicked by a horse!
âLass, forget it. I wonât trouble you anymore. Letâs go ourselves!â The First Elder propped himself up and said speechlessly. Alas! Tears were already flowing down his face. This girl was a vampire!
âGoodbye then. I wonât see you out.â Leng Ruoxue left the living room after speaking.
Everyone followed Leng Ruoxue, including Lan Ming.
âFirst Elder, theyâve all left. What should we do?â Third Elder said dumbfoundedly. These people were really fast! They left just like that. Boohoo⦠No one cared about them anymore.
âLetâs⦠think of a way to return ourselves!â The First Elder sighed.
âFirst Elder, that little girl said she wants remuneration, so letâs give it to her!â The Third Elder couldnât help complaining.
âNo, that little girl is too cunning. Iâm afraid Iâll be tricked by her again!â The First Elder said very cautiously. He was really a little afraid of that girl now. He didnât dare to promise her anything easily at all!
âBut it shouldnât cost much to get someone, right?â The Third Elder guessed. In fact, he was quite afraid too.
âItâs definitely higher than our monthly salary!â The First Elder said with some lingering fear. If they really let that little girl call someone for them, they would probably have worked for nothing for the entire month. Moreover, he really didnât know how long he could last if he continued doing this!
âThen⦠then letâs go by ourselves!â Third Elder said with some heartache. Boohoo⦠He was the Third Elder of the Lan family! How did he end up like this? He couldnât understand why they were abusing him like this!
âOkay, letâs go!â With that, the two old men supported each other and left the living room to the guest hall!
When the shopkeeper saw the First Elder and Third Elder, he hurriedly ran to them and waited for instructions!
âShopkeeper, prepare a car for us and send us back to the Lan family!â The Third Elder ordered weakly.
âYes, please wait a moment, Elders!â The shopkeeper quickly replied and then turned to prepare the carriage. However, he couldnât help being puzzled. What happened to the First Elder and Third Elder? Why were they so tired?
After a while, the shopkeeper prepared the car and arranged for the waiter to help the two elders into the car. Then, he watched the two elders leaveâ¦
The next day, First Elder and Third Elder still arrived at the inn early. Their stamina had recovered after a night of rest!
âElders, you look good today!â Leng Ruoxue praised when she walked into the living room and saw the First and Third Elders waiting there.
âYes, yes, itâs okay. Oh right, little girl, they are all the elders of our Elder Association. From today onwards, they are also your servants!â The Third Elder pointed at the dozen or so people standing not far away from them and said with a smile. Hmph! Want to see him and the First Elder make a fool of themselves? Dream on! Therefore, these people who wanted to gloat were brought here by him and the First Elder early this morning. This was called sharing difficulties together!
âWhat can they do?â Leng Ruoxue looked at the dozen people with some disdain. These people were eating with faces full of oil and brains full of fat. They seemed to be inferior to the two old men!
âYou can let them do whatever you want. Thereâs no need to be polite!â The First Elder said. One sentence determined their miserable days for the next few days! When he and the Third Elder returned home yesterday, they were still discussing who to get to help them repay their debts! They didnât expect a few people to take the initiative to come knocking on their door. In that case, why should he be polite! Moreover, he used his position for personal gain to get everyone from the Second Elderâs side, except for the Second Elder who was pretending to be sick, of course!
âOh, alright then!â Leng Ruoxue looked at the dozen people carefully from head to toe, the dissatisfaction on her face increasingâ¦
âWhy donât I see Little Second?â Leng Ruoxue asked with slight dissatisfaction after looking around.
