In the end, Yuan Xi was even caught by Yuan Shao and beaten up before this matter was considered over.
"Hiss ~ This old fellow is quite strong!”Yuan Xi rubbed his butt as he walked out of the General's Residence.
"My Lord, you are..." Zhao Yun saw Yuan Xi's sorry state and hurriedly asked.
"No worries." Yuan Xi waved his hand and climbed onto his horse to return home with Zhao Yun.
......
In the main hall.
After Yuan Xi left, Yuan Shao did not look like he was in a rage. Instead, he sat down and drank tea with a smile.
"This brat is quite capable. He actually managed to get his own pay.”
Yuan Shao's words were still filled with admiration for Yuan Xi's performance.
The reason why he wanted to beat Yuan Xi up just now was because he was a little angry out of embarrassment. He originally wanted to take Yuan Xi down, but he didn't expect Yuan Xi to turn the tables on him.
"You know how to make use of your own advantages to get in touch with the Zhen family so quickly.”
"I don't know what this kid told the Zhen family, but he actually managed to swindle the army's pay. A position as a Ji County Magistrate isn't enough.”Yuan Shao pondered.
Zhen Yan invested in Yuan Xi not only because of the position of Ji County Magistrate.
A mere Ji County Magistrate was not worth Zhen Yan's bet.
In any case, the Zhen family had already paid protection fees to Yuan Shao. As long as Zhen Yan slowly accumulated his qualifications, it was actually the same no matter where he was an official. Sooner or later, he would be able to get a high position. There was no need to pay protection fees to Yuan Xi at all.
What Zhen Yan valued was not the Ji County Magistrate, but Yuan Xi's position in front of Yuan Shao and the relationship between Yuan Xi and Yan Liang.
He also wanted to spend more money to increase Zhen Mi's position in Yuan Xi's heart. This was the reason why Zhen Yan decided to invest in Yuan Xi.
And the Ji County Token was just icing on the cake. It didn't matter whether they had it or not. To put it bluntly, it was because they saw Yuan Xi's potential and believed that the Zhen Family would be able to obtain sufficient returns from Yuan Xi in the future.
Although Zhen Yan's ability was average, he was good at doing business. After meeting Yuan Xi, he made up his mind to invest in Yuan Xi.
While Yuan Shao was thinking about the matter, a servant girl in the main hall quietly slipped into the back residence.
"Madam! Madam!" The servant girl hurriedly ran into the house.
"What the hell are you screaming about? You unruly thing!"
Liu-shi was feeling vexed. After being threatened by Yuan Xi earlier, she felt extremely vexed. She was an elder, but she was actually being controlled by a junior. This made Liu-shi very unhappy.
The servant girl ran in in a hurry and naturally ran into the muzzle of a gun.
"Madam, something big has happened!" the servant girl said mysteriously.
"What's the big deal?"
"I don't know why Second Young Master made Old Master angry just now. In his anger, Old Master beat and scolded Second Young Master.”
This servant girl was Liu-shi's confidant. Knowing that Liu-shi had always wanted to deal with Yuanxi, she hurried over to complain.
Liu-shi heard this and immediately got up from the bed." Is what you said true?”
"How would this servant dare to lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes.”The servant girl said it so clearly that Liu-shi did not suspect him.
After all, she was just a little servant girl. Even if she had ten guts, she would not dare to deceive her.
At this time, Liu-shi was very conflicted, thinking about whether she should fan the flames.
Liu-shi did listen to Yuan Xi's words a little. She knew that if she kept going against Yuan Xi, there would be no benefits at all.
But Liu-shi was intimidated by Yuanxi, and she couldn't swallow her anger.
And now was the best opportunity to vent her anger. Yuan Xi was beaten and scolded by Yuan Shao, so she must have lost favor. If she went over now to fan the flames, it would definitely have a miraculous effect.
Thinking of this, Liu-shi became even more restless, unable to suppress the desire in her heart.
Gritting her teeth, Liu-shi revealed a vicious expression and muttered,
"Yuan Xi, that little bastard. Last time, he almost strangled me to death, so he collected some interest first!”
With that, Liu-shi lifted her skirt and rushed to the front hall. She had to strike while the iron was hot, and she had to fan the flames in time.
Otherwise, when Yuan Shao's anger was extinguished, her demonic wind would not be able to blow anymore.
Yuan Shao was happily drinking tea, feeling gratified by Yuan Xi's recent changes, when he saw Liu-shi running over in a hurry.
"Hmm? Aren't you tired?" Yuan Shao was very puzzled. He ran so fast and did not look like there was a problem.
Immediately, he understood in his heart that it should be because of Yuan Xi. Yuan Shao also knew that the relationship between the two had always been bad. Liu-shi always wanted to suppress and bully Yuan Xi.
However, it was difficult for an upright official to settle family matters. Madam Liu was also Yuan Xi's elder. As long as she did not go too far, Yuan Shao could not say anything.
"Thank you for your concern, Old Master.”Liu-shi gave a perfunctory explanation, and then asked impatiently,
"Master, I heard that you beat and scolded Xianyi?”
"Humph! That little brat dared to play tricks on me. Let me teach him a lesson.”Yuan Shao was deliberately showing off his authority in front of his concubine.
Who would have thought that Liu-shi was here to fan the flames. Hearing Yuan Shao say this, her heart became even more excited and she did not notice Yuan Shao's expression.
When Yuan Shao spoke, he did not look angry at all. There was still a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. Unfortunately, Liu-shi had already been blinded by hatred.
"Good job, Old Master! He should have killed this disrespectful and reckless little bastard! Old Master, don't be angry. I can't wait to cut him into a thousand pieces to relieve the hatred in Old Master's heart!”
"This little bastard, from what I saw, I knew that he was not a good person. He refused to change after repeated teachings. Old Master will have to teach him a lesson in the future!”
Liu-shi's face was full of resentment. The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She had already forgotten everything and completely did not notice Yuan Shao's increasingly ugly expression.
At this time, how could Yuan Shao not know that Liu-shi was fanning the flames and sowing discord.
Moreover, Yuan Shao was not really angry when he beat Yuan Xi. Instead, Liu-shi called him a little bastard, making the veins on Yuan Shao's forehead jump.
"Bastard! Vicious woman!"
Yuan Shao was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. Liu-shi was shocked and looked at Yuan Shao with a shocked expression.
"Pa!"
Yuan Shao swung his arm and directly gave Liu-shi a big mouth, and it was the kind that came with Critical Hit and Armor Break.
His palm landed firmly on Liu-shi's face, hitting Liu-shi's ears until they buzzed, she saw stars, she was dizzy, and she fell to the ground.
Five red finger marks quickly appeared on Liu-shi's face, then quickly turned purple, and blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth.
"You vicious woman! I didn't expect you to be so vicious. Presumably, when you complained to me in the past, it was most likely a rumor!”
"My son is smart and quick-witted. He's a pure filial person, but he's actually so unbearable in your words!”
"I'll beat you to death today, you vicious woman!"
