After Wu Ming left Peony Garden, he immediately brought the First Elder and Second Elder to a relatively intact room and explained the Wu familyâs current situation and his plans in detail.
However, an explosion sounded again while they were discussing something.
âWhat happened?â The First Elder immediately stood up in shock and ordered someone to check.
Soon, the people who went to investigate returned.
âReporting to the patriarch and the two elders, another explosion occurred in a place and caused a fire,â the guard said gloomily.
âYou didnât find anyone again?â First Elder asked in disbelief.
âThereâs no one at all,â the guard said. This was also what made them depressed. After all, the Wu familyâs defense was so tight that even a mosquito couldnât fly in. However, they didnât see who was causing trouble in the Wu family. Alas!
âDid anyone come out of Peony Garden?â Second Elder asked. He still felt that the person inside was the most suspicious.
âNo one came out. Someone has been guarding the door!â the guard said with certainty.
âPatriarch, if this continues, we wonât even have a place to sleep at night,â First Elder reminded.
âFirst Elder, of course I know that. But we canât find any enemies at all!â Wu Ming also had a depressed face. Hmph! There were really not many people who dared to cause trouble in the City Lordâs Mansion in Martial Immortal City!
âPatriarch, bad news. Miss went to Peony Garden!â Suddenly, the second butler came to report anxiously.
âWhat did you say? Does Qianâer know where Leng Ruoxue lives?â Wu Ming said furiously. Qianâer hated Leng Ruoxue to the core, so he had already ordered the Second Butler and the others not to let Qianâer know about this.
âPatriarch, Miss heard that the Peony Garden wasnât destroyed, so she wanted to move there. I couldnât stop her,â the second butler said aggrievedly. Boohoo⦠It was very difficult being a subordinate!
âDidnât you tell her that someone lives there?â Wu Ming said angrily. He knew his daughterâs temper very well if Qianâer knew who lived there.
âI told you, Miss didnât listen and even wanted to chase that person away,â the second butler said honestly, a little resentful of his Missâs willfulness.
âFirst Elder, Second Elder, I have to take a look. Qianâer and Miss Leng were once unhappy,â Wu Ming said helplessly. Alas! At this juncture, he couldnât count on Qianâer anymore, so he had to coax Leng Ruoxue!
âGo!â The two elders nodded.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOkay.â Wu Ming strode to Peony Garden.
In Peony Garden.
Wu Qianâer was standing with her hands on her hips, shouting at Leng Ruoxue and the others like a shrew, âDamn it, get out of the Wu family. The Wu family doesnât welcome you.â
âScram? I donât know how to scram! Why donât Miss Wu give me a demonstration?â Leng Ruoxue covered her nose and smiled gently.
âYouâ¦â Wu Qianâer pointed at Leng Ruoxue, a little angry.
A white light flashed and Leng Ruoxue said lightly, âI hate it when others point at me.â
âAh!â Wu Qianâer screamed in pain. A finger fell to the ground, and one of her hands was already dripping with blood.
âQianâer!â Wu Ming happened to hear Wu Qianâerâs scream when he arrived at Peony Garden and hurriedly ran over.
âFather! My finger⦠You have to avenge me!â Wu Qianâer fainted from the pain after speaking.
âSend Miss back to her room.â Wu Ming turned to the second butler who followed him and ordered.
âYes,â the second butler answered and then reluctantly left with Wu Qianâer.
âMiss Leng, Qianâer is young and insensible. Thereâs no need to be so heavy-handed!â Wu Ming said with slight displeasure. Qianâer was the daughter he doted on for so long after all. He was unwilling to let others bully his daughter even though she was crippled now.
âHeavy-handed? Just one finger of hers is already considered light compared to her rudeness to me. If Patriarch Wu came a moment later, Iâm afraid Wu Qianâerâs life would not be preserved.â Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. Hmph! She had never been a soft-hearted person. He had pointed at her nose and scolded her. Wouldnât she be a joke if she didnât react at all?
âSheâs just young and insensible. She didnât deliberately offend Miss Leng.â Wu Ming braced himself.
âPatriarch Wu, wouldnât the world be in chaos if everyone used age as an excuse and didnât have to bear the responsibility? Moreover, I donât think Iâm as old as your daughter!â Leng Ruoxue reminded.
âUh!â Wu Ming had a headache after hearing Leng Ruoxueâs words because he now realized that Leng Ruoxue was really too difficult to deal with.
âPatriarch Wu, donât blame me for being ruthless if you canât take care of your daughter,â Leng Ruoxue said provocatively.
âDonât worry, Miss Leng. Iâll send someone to watch her.â Wu Ming suppressed his anger and left Peony Garden angrily after speaking.
âXueâer, are we letting Wu Qianâer go just like that?â Empty asked curiously after Wu Ming left.
âHow is that possible?â Leng Ruoxue rolled her eyes. Empty knew why they came to the Wu family. How could they let the Wu family go?
âBut Wu Qianâer should be afraid already. I donât think she will take the initiative to come knocking on our door,â Empty said with a smile.
âShall we make a bet?â Leng Ruoxue smiled mysteriously.
âBet on what?â Empty was interested.
âDonât you think Wu Qianâer wonât fall into the trap again? Iâll bet that she will come. How about it?â Leng Ruoxue suggested with a smile.
âWhatâs the stakes?â Empty asked excitedly.
âTen thousand purple coins!â Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. Hehe, she wouldnât bet too much against her own people.
âOkay.â Empty nodded. He could afford ten thousand purple coins. Boohoo⦠He could not afford more.
âMiss, can we bet too?â Feng Da asked with a salivating face.
âDo you have money?â Leng Ruoxue raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.
âUh! We donât have any. Boohooâ¦â Feng Da was depressed. Their money was given by Miss.. Moreover, it seemed like it was not even ten thousand in total.
