Mei Lan no longer dared to look down on Wei Jie, and said with a smile," You must be Young Master Wei. Please sit!”
Wei Jie sized her up without batting an eyelid.
She wasn't pretty, and she didn't take good care of herself. She was like an old cow eating young grass and bossing around.
Was it a Hongmen Banquet?
Wei Jie hadn't eaten dinner, so he was a little hungry. He forced himself not to look at all the food on the table, turned his head, and said coldly," How can a commoner be qualified to sit at the same table as Lord Thousand Households? It's better for me to stand and talk!"
The moment these words came out, Mei Lan's favorable impression of Wei Jie actually increased a bit.
It's good that you don't sit down!
The further the distance, the better!
"Then let's stand and talk!"
Mei Lan was glad that she didn't drink. Otherwise, when she got drunk, she would definitely get into trouble if she used the alcohol to touch him.
Mei Lan felt a lingering fear and pushed the wine cup to the side, lest she drank it without realizing it.
"Ding! Mei Lan's favorability towards you 800!”
A system notification appeared.
Wei Jie frowned slightly. 800?
Alright, that's quite a lot. There's no problem with communication.
Thus, Wei Jie said bluntly," Lord Thousand Households, my father has always been honest and kind to others. Why did you arrest him?”
This was not the tone of a commoner, but an obvious question. Normally speaking to Mei Lan like this, she would have already slapped her to the ground.
However, the more unyielding Wei Jie was, the more wary Mei Lan became.
She was so beautiful and had the support of a big shot. She had nothing to fear.
Although Mei Lan had been in the officialdom for decades and could not enter the upper-class circle, she had more experience than anyone else.
Her brain worked quickly and she smiled." It's all a misunderstanding! It was a misunderstanding! I'll release him now!"
[Wei Jie: Even I jumped out?] What kind of official are you? Was he qualified to arrest people?
He would not be fooled by Mei Lan.
He was definitely not a good person who allowed his subordinates to do things that angered both men and gods.
Wei Jie said with a fake smile," My father caught a cold a few days ago and his body is weak. I hope Lord Thousand Households can be quick. It's already very late. I want to bring him home to rest."
Mei Lan snorted in her heart, It's not a cold, he's poisoned! The poison was extremely strange, and only the elders of the Celestial Net Sect had the means to cure it!
How could a kid with no background ask for the antidote?
Therefore, he was dead meat!
Should he tell her about this?
Mei Lan decided to test Wei Jie and said,"Have you seen a doctor?"”
Wei Jie said proudly," I've already gone to Dongbi Hall to ask the Venerable Doctor for a diagnosis. He said that he can be cured with three doses of medicine!”
Mei Lan didn't know that Li Shizhen went out to pick insects, so she believed it again.
Her eyelids twitched violently as she thought," Was the Honorable Doctor talking nonsense, or was it Granny Yan, or was it Wei Jie?
The name of the Master Doctor was well-known, so he would definitely not misdiagnose. Moreover, his father didn't look like he was poisoned…
Only then did Mei Lan realize the abnormality. All kinds of suspicions surged into her heart, instantly turning into suspicion, suspicion, and then into certainty.
She was sure that Granny Yan wanted to mess with her!
Why?
Because over the years, she saw that Granny Yan was getting better and better, and she couldn't help but come to her several times to ask for benefits.
She had asked for it six times the year before last, four times last year, and she had yet to ask for it this year.
It had already been reduced year by year. What else did he want?
If it wasn't for her pulling strings back then, how could Granny Yan have soared to fame? He must still be standing at the entrance of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant to attract customers!
Mei Lan was furious, but she chuckled and said," Right, Young Master Wei, have you offended anyone recently?”
Wei Jie was silent for a few seconds before softly spitting out two words.
"Granny Yan."
Mei Lan pretended not to know anything and said," The golden brothel keeper of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower has nothing to do with someone with a clean background like you. How could you offend her?”
Pretend, pretend, pretend!
I'll pretend even if you pretend!
Movie King Wei Jie possessed her body and snorted softly." I…I was originally in love with that person. She promised me a grand wedding with a thousand taels of gold. Then, Granny Yan came. Guess what?"
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. He clenched his fists tightly and his face was pale. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully," This old woman actually only took out a hundred taels of silver to propose marriage to my father! What should I do?"
One thousand gold taels and one hundred silver taels? There was such a big difference!
Mei Lan believed it and was stunned on the spot.
Lady Yan was too gutsy, she had taken so much money, no wonder she couldn't handle Father Wei!
Furthermore, he had clearly earned a thousand gold taels, yet he was only willing to take out a bottle of Carefree Pills as a thank you gift…
Mei Lan instantly felt like she had been played like a monkey by Granny Yan, and her face was burning with pain. Because she had thought that the Carefree Pill was quite good.
At this moment, Wei Jie pointed at himself and said faintly," Lord Thousand Households, am I only worth a hundred taels of silver?!”
"No, I can't! More than a thousand gold! Ten thousand gold! "I won't give up…" Mei Lan muttered.
If she had money, let alone a thousand gold taels, as long as Wei Jie was willing to submit, she would be willing to go bankrupt.
Such a beautiful man was rare in the world.
It was said that Emperor Diao Chan was the wealthiest and most powerful person in the entire capital. There was no such man in her harem!
Alright, His Majesty was engrossed in cultivation and had never been close to men. The harem was empty.
At this moment, Mei Lan thought of another possibility, and the way she looked at Wei Jie now had an inexplicable hint of respect.
Could it be that someone wanted to offer Wei Jie to the Eastern Emperor?
Without another word, Mei Lan took out a banknote and said," Young Master Wei, I've offended you today. This money can be used as an apology."”
She was quite quick to change her tune.
It would be a waste not to accept it. Wei Jie didn't decline. After receiving it, he said," Lord Thousand Households, I didn't take it to heart.”
Mei Lan heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that he was willing to accept it. It meant that he would not be calculative.
"Ding! Mei Lan's favorability towards you 300!”
Not bad, earning favorable impression points and money at the same time. Then, he would think of a way to make her and Granny Yan kill each other and settle it in the last wave.
Perhaps it was because he had learned the Heavenly Luo Deceit, or perhaps it was because he had personally witnessed a weak man being dragged into a house by a large group of women and abused, Wei Jie's heart gradually hardened and he would not soften just because the other party's favorability had increased.
He didn't have a good impression of Mei Lan at all. He slowly put the silver notes into his sleeve. His movements were very elegant, not at all unscrupulous.
At the same time, he gently swiped his fingertip, and a hint of sweet fragrance mixed with the fragrance of the lingering fragrance beads on his body.
Mei Lan didn't realize that such a simple action of collecting the check actually hid the ultimate technique of the Heaven Luo Sect.
