Pan Jinlian's medicine was thin and not fatal at all. At most, it would affect one's thinking.
Wei Jie discreetly sprinkled a little, and under the effects of the powder, Mei Lan only felt her heart bleed, her flesh aching terribly.
Originally, the money she gave Wei Jie as an apology was to be used to buy rice next month, but she took it all out. She wanted to save face, so she couldn't just take out one note in front of the handsome man, so she could only pretend to be generous and hand it all over.
So much money! It's the end of the month today! She had saved up a whole month's worth of protection fees!
It wasn't that Mei Lan was stingy, but she felt that she was still young. Pond-level could live for two hundred years, so she still had the chance to break through to a higher level. Of course, she had to work hard to obtain more resources.
Suddenly, she saw Wei Jie's face reveal a troubled expression, as if he had something difficult to say.
"Young Master Wei, what's wrong?"
The film emperor continued to possess him. Wei Jie stuttered," It's like this…Almost all the money has been taken by Granny Yan. If…If I explain it to that lord, she will definitely think that I'm someone who covets money!”
Oh…
Mei Lan let out a long breath in her heart, completely understanding Wei Jie's thoughts.
Indeed, many powerful people liked men who were aloof, indifferent, and paid attention to their reputation. If they valued money, they would definitely be despised and would not be favored.
No wonder Grandma Yan dared to do such a thing, she was certain that Wei Jie would not dare to speak out.
Mei Lan felt a little sympathy for him. She took a whiff of his body fragrance and inhaled a pile of medicinal powder.
His mind went blank, and he took the initiative to mention," Granny Yan is really hateful! Why don't you let me help Young Master get back that money?”
Wei Jie pretended to be happy and said,"Lord Thousand Households acted out of righteousness. I am willing to use half of the gift as a reward. Please teach Lady Yan a lesson."”(Take a blank check.）
Mei Lan was stunned. Wasn't half of it five hundred gold taels?
She had never seen so much money in her life!
Looks like Wei Jie really hated Granny Yan to the core. Once he ascended to a higher position, Granny Yan would also be dead for sure.
Therefore, as long as he killed Lady Yan in advance, he could take credit and get paid. Moreover, there would be no such shop after this village!
Mei Lan made a decisive decision. She patted her chest and pretended to be angry." Granny Yan is indeed despicable! She even dared to be greedy for Young Master's money. It was time to teach her a lesson that she would remember for the rest of her life! Leave this matter to me!"
Wei Jie grinned at her." Then I'll leave it to Lord Thousand Households!”
Ah...
At this moment, peach blossoms bloomed in Mei Lan's heart. She was so mesmerized that she was head over heels. It was as if she had returned to her teenage years when she was in love for the first time.
Back then, she had also yearned for pure and beautiful feelings until the man she had chosen kept saying that he loved her. In the end, he could not withstand the first night and died before morning.
From that moment on, Mei Lan's heart had died. She was just putting on a show and playing around with the world. She was never moved again.
She was so excited that she suddenly wanted to abandon everything. She wanted to go up and hold Wei Jie's hand and pull him into her arms…
Suddenly!
Gulp...
The sound of thunder in his stomach rang out.
Wei Jie turned his head, lowered his eyes, and said awkwardly," I…I rushed over before I even had dinner!”
There was a hint of gentleness and grievance in her expression, which was really pitiful.
Mei Lan broke out in a cold sweat. When she woke up, even the medicine she had been drugged with was ineffective.
She thought to herself that it was a close call. Fortunately, he was hungry. Otherwise, she would have almost rushed up to him and raped him, ruining her great future!
"Ding! Mei Lan's favorability towards you 1500!”
How could Wei Jie not see through Mei Lan's crooked thoughts? Just a moment ago, she had a gaze that seemed like she was going to swallow him alive. It was no different from asking a tiger for its skin to negotiate with such a woman. He had to be on guard against her betrayal at all times.
Thus, Wei Jie had been secretly waiting for the Storm Pear Blossom, and as long as the Mei Lan had any strange movements, he would activate the mechanism!
Oh right, her favorability had exceeded 2000. Let's check her stats first.
Mi Lan: Female
[Age: 68]
[Comprehension: 82]
Affinity: 79
[Charm: 153]
Favorable impression points: 3600
[Cultivation: Pond-level]
[Cultivation Technique: Knot and Spear Technique]
[Title: None]
[Title Attribute: None]
He could only say that his aptitude was below average.
He had already become a Pond-level master. If he fought alone without using a powerful weapon, he would definitely lose.
Fortunately, he did not fight head-on…
Wei Jie secretly felt lucky and waited for Mei Lan to release him.
However, Mei Lan really couldn't bear to see him leave.
He couldn't touch or touch it, so it was good to look at it for a while longer!
She said," Young Master Wei, please wait for a moment. I will immediately ask the chef to change the dishes on the table. In addition, your father should come too. It won't be too late for the two of you to go back after eating some simple tea and food."”
Wei Jie only wanted to go back early and didn't want any complications. If he rejected her, she would be suspicious.
Annoyed, he stared at the eight-square table in front of him and realized that the edge of the table had cracked after being used for a long time.
Mm...
It was a good place to hide things.
Thus, Wei Jie thought for a moment and said," Alright, thank you.”
Mei Lan was overjoyed to see that he had given her too much face. She immediately called her subordinates to take Wang Xizhi over. She had to be polite and not rude.
Taking advantage of the time to invite people, she asked curiously," Why did Young Master come dressed in black?”It almost scared him to death!
Wei Jie straightened his clothes and said solemnly," Before I came, I thought that if anything happened to my father, I would smash my head against the wall. Even if blood stained his clothes, it would not be an eyesore.”
"Aiya! How could that be? Young Master has misunderstood me too deeply!"
Everyone loves beauty, especially men. Black clothes were normal, too normal!
Mei Lan smiled apologetically, but also seemed to be deep in thought.
Wei Jie looked weak, but his personality was extremely strong. He was educated and reasonable, able to advance and retreat freely, and was also very filial.
How likable!
If only she had discovered him earlier and secretly brought him back!
Mei Lan no longer doubted Wei Jie and transferred all her hatred onto Granny Yan.
Then, Wang Xizhi was politely invited out of the woodshed by two female militiamen.
He was uneasy. When he passed by a house, he heard screams coming from inside, which made him even more frightened.
Could it be that the innocence that he had defended for thirty-nine years was going to be destroyed here today?
She was just thinking too much…
What awaited him was a table full of good wine and dishes.
At the table, his precious son stood up with a smile and greeted," Dad, the dishes have just been served. Sit down and eat while they're hot!”
Wang Xizhi rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen wrongly. He cried out," Jie 'er, why are you here?!”
