Chapter 1223 What have you done!?
Old Master Zi was thrilled upon seeing the big carriage but at the same time, he was convinced that his youngest son was a jinx. If not, then why didn't his eldest son's luck get better when Zi Mu was at their house?
Master Si's voice was so loud that even Zi De and Zi Zexi also heard his voice, the two of them rushed out of the house and were equally stunned when they saw the big carriage parked outside their house. The two of them exchanged a glance with one another before turning to look at the carriage which was pulled by four horses and did not know what to say.
So, their Daddy was right? Their youngest brother was unlucky?
"Why are you waiting here?" Old Master Zi was really overjoyed. It was as if he was seeing a pile of gold taels than a carriage in front of him. He turned to look at his eldest son and then said, "This carriage is here for you. Go and take a look at it, most probably the master or mistress is here for you. Go, go! It's time for your luck to shine."
Zi De was stunned but when he heard his daddy's words, he thought that his daddy was making sense. After all, he was only fortunate enough to have two sons while his two brothers only had daughters and mers. The more he thought about how fortunate he had been ever since he was born, he became more and more convinced that the carriage was here for him.
Thus, he puffed his chest and then walked out of the house. He imitated the attitude of those masters in town but failed miserably, but Zi De felt like he looked like a young master even Old Master Zi thought so. He was quite pleased upon seeing his son getting close to his destiny.
"Ahem, I am——"
BANG!!
Zi De just started talking but before he could speak anything, the door of the carriage was pushed open and Yu Dong stepped out with Ye Liu and Ye Zexian.
Behind her was Zi Mu who had his head lowered.
Yu Dong heard the loud bang and turned to look at Zi De who was lying on the ground. She furrowed her brows and asked, "Who are you? Why were you standing close to my carriage? If the door gets damaged, are you going to pay for it?"
Though she pretended as if she had no idea that Zi De was standing outside, the truth was Yu Dong was already aware of Zi De approaching the carriage and of course, she heard her speak which was why she deliberately opened the door at the correct time and caused Zi De's face to be smashed against the door of her carriage.
Yup. She did it deliberately. But she had the power and influence to get away with her bad attitude, anyway Zi De deserved it. She heard from Ye Zexian that because some master told Old Master Zi that there was a lucky star in his family, he raised Zi De to the pedestal as he was biased towards Zi De.
And Zi De used that biased attitude of his father to make things difficult for the rest of the family. Especially Zi Mu who was not well-liked by the Zi family.
Zi De was stunned when he saw the woman dressed in all silk talk to him like this, he thought that this woman was here for him but it seemed like he was thinking too much. He blushed in embarrassment and cursed his Daddy for saying nonsense. It was because of his Daddy that he thought that this woman was here for him.
He pushed himself up from the ground and then looked at Yu Dong before saying, "I … I only wanted to ask why you have parked your carriage in front of our house?" Though Zi De was embarrassed, he patted himself on the back for being smart and having a great presence of mind for coming up with this excuse.
"Is this the Zi family of the Sand village?" Yu Dong asked with a cold voice.
Her voice was so stiff and chilling that Zi De felt his heart skip a beat. But he still forced himself to nod without showing any fear. He then looked at Zi Mu who was standing behind Yu Dong, he wanted to ask what was going on but before he could do that, Yu Dong walked inside the house and Ye Zexian and Zi Mu followed her with their heads lowered.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Old Master Zi also sensed that something was wrong which was why he stepped out of the house and questioned, "Who are you? And why are you here?"
"I am Yu Dong, the village owner of the Big River Village and the mall owner of the town," Yu Dong introduced herself with a smile on her face. She then sat down on the stone table and crossed her ankles before pointing at Zi Mu and Ye Zexian, "I am also the person with whom your son and son-in-law signed a contract.
They were supposed to hand me three thousand catties of fruits and in exchange, I was going to pay them fifty taels."
Fifty taels? Old Master Zi felt his heart sore. Fifty taels was a lot of money, if he got his hands on Fifty taels then he would be able to marry his eldest grandson and also build a really good house.
However before he could even dream, his sleeves were tugged and Zi Zexi whispered, "Daddy the fruit farm was burned."
Only then did Old Master Zi snap out of his daze. He looked at Yu Dong who was smiling and then turned to look at his son. His eyes burned with a fire that if not for the fact that he was in public and Zi Mu was standing behind Yu Dong, he would have killed him. Find your next read at empire
