Chapter 403.
The Xu Family, which was rich in assets in the east and wealthy in the west, was in the west of the city.
Wang Duan also only realized that the widow’s fortune was quite a bit more lucrative than what had been announced to the public after he had accepted Xu Xinlan’s offer of employment to become the Xu Family’s provider.
Therefore, it was only natural that the Xu Family could own a large mansion covering a rather extensive area in the rich district of Wan Ling City, where every inch of land was worth a fortune.
The purple carriage pulled by four hybrid dragon horses steadily stopped in front of the Xu Family’s gate.
At this time, the sky was just getting dark, the obsidian lamps hanging under the eaves of the Xu Family’s main gate were all lit up, and the gate was completely open inward, with the veiled Xu Xinlan leading a group of servants, standing on the steps to welcome them.
When Wang Chen stepped out of the purple carriage, she immediately curtsied and said, “Greetings to the superior.”
The butlers and servants following behind all saluted in unison, “Greetings to Immortal Master!”
The high level of etiquette was impeccable!
Wang Chen smiled, “Exempt yourself from salute.”
There was no doubt that the widow had put up such a big show, apart from patting herself on the back, I’m afraid that the main thing was to use his name to deter miscreants.
Wang Dust did not care about this.
He had taken the benefits of the Xu Family, it was only right that he should cover for the latter.
“Thank you, Elder/Immortal Master!”
Xu Xinlan respectfully welcomed Wang Duan into the mansion and crossed the front yard to the main hall.
To Wang Chen’s surprise, Xu Xinlan did not host a banquet for him in the main hall, but instead entered a small building in the inner courtyard.
Inside the three-story high building, there was already a table of delicious food and two thousand beautiful maids.
“Please, superior.”
Xu Xinlan first invited Wang Chen to take a seat, then sat opposite him.
This widow smiled sweetly, “Thanks to your superior’s care, my concubine has prepared a little wine tonight as a token of respect.”
With that, she lifted the white jade wine pot and poured a full cup of spirit wine for Wang Chen.
Wang Chen smelled a faint fragrance.
“Thank you.”
Without moving, he picked up the wine cup and took a sip of the liquor.
His eyes fell on Xu Xinlan’s face.
Wang Chen secretly felt strange, he had met Xu Xinlan twice and the other party had always been veiled.
The last time in a public place was understandable, but tonight in a private house, Xu Xinlan still refused to take off the veil, more or less a little disrespectful to him, the purple mansion of the suspicion.
Xu Xinlan noticed Wang Chen’s eyes, she hesitated for a moment, then reached out and lifted half of the veil.
Wang Chen froze.
This was because the lower part of Xu Xinlan’s face that was exposed was unexpectedly covered in red spots, which was frightening to look at!
“After the death of my late husband, my concubine was poisoned by a traitor at home.”
Xu Xinran put down her veil and explained, “Although I was lucky enough to recover a life, the toxin penetrated into the bone marrow and relapsed from time to time, so my concubine had to wear a veil for fear of defiling my superior’s clear eyes.”
It was actually for this reason!
Wang Chen did not feel that his eyes were contaminated, look at this Xu Xinlan is clearly a beautiful woman, temperament and posture are good, I did not expect to suffer such a calamity.
He asked, “There is no way to cure it?”
“As long as you give up your family’s money, there is still a way.”
Xu Xinlan said in a low voice, “But my concubine feels that it’s better to be cured than to be cured.”
Wang Chen immediately understood.
Xu Xinlan’s face was ruined, she had wealth but no color, and was already coveted.
If her face was cured, and she had wealth and color, I’m afraid that the number of people who wanted both wealth and color would multiply several times over!
It’s not easy for this widow!
Wang Chen nodded his head in understanding, “That’s right.”
It was at this time that he suddenly heard noisy voices coming from outside, the location should be at the Xu family’s front door.
After a moment, hurried footsteps were heard again.
Immediately, the door of the room was knocked gently.
“Greetings ma’am.”
An aged voice sounded outside the door, “Third Master Chen is here again, clamoring at the door to see you.”
Xu Xinlan frowned, “Uncle Zhong, please block him first, I’ll be right over.”
“Yes.”
Footsteps left.
Wang Chen’s gaze flickered as he asked, “What’s going on?”
Xu Xinlan smiled bitterly, “Family misfortune.”
It turned out that this Third Master Chen who had come to cause trouble was Xu Xinlan’s late husband’s younger brother, her brother-in-law.
This person is a playboy who is uneducated and very fond of gambling. When Xu Xinlan’s husband didn’t pass away, he often came to ask for money for his spending.
After her husband’s death, he was provoked to fight with Xu Xinlan for the family property, and has been pestered endlessly!
Xu Xinlan’s unwillingness to cure her face also had something to do with this brother-in-law.
“This man is a scoundrel!”
She said helplessly, “I give him five hundred spirit stones to spend every month, and he can spend it all in three days.”
Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and learning how to smoke five stone powder.
“I’ll have Uncle Zhong send him away now.”
“Slow.”
Wang Dust reached out and blocked, “Let me, the offering, take care of this.”
Xu Xinlan’s intention was clearly to spend money to avoid disaster, not wanting to let this kind of dirty character spoil the fun.
However, Wang Chen felt that such an approach would only make the other party more aggressive and unscrupulous!
He long body up, instantly swept out the window, a shrinking into an inch flashed to the front yard door.
Only to see a circle of people surrounded in front of the Xu family door, one of the young man with a thin figure and puffy eyelids stood on the steps and yelled, “Quickly call Xu Xinlan out, I just witnessed her accessing the adulterer into the door, how long has it taken for my brother to die ah, and she doesn’t abide by the way of women …… ”
This person’s looks are good-looking, but unfortunately, he has a look of excessive drinking and coloring, pointing his finger at an old man guarding the door, spitting under his breath!
And behind him surrounded by a few people smiling, look at the attire dress and temperament, should be for its support fox friends.
Seeing such a scenario, Wang Dust did not hesitate for a second and slapped him across the room.
Splat!
The crisp sound of the slap could be heard clearly from three streets away.
The young man was like a kite with broken strings, his entire body involuntarily spun and flew out.
Blood and broken teeth sprayed out of his mouth!
He landed on the ground with a face swollen into a pig’s head.
This was still the result of Wang Dust’s mercy, otherwise a direct blow to the pig’s head would not have been a problem at all!
There was silence in front of the Xu family’s door.
Wang Dust stepped over the threshold, his cold gaze swept over the onlookers and finally landed on the young man who was wailing in pain.
“I am Wang Dust, an inner disciple of the Western Sea Sect, and an upper classman of the Xu Family’s offerings!”
“If you dare to speak out of turn again, don’t blame me for being merciless with my hot hands!”
“Scram!”
His words were like hammers, hitting everyone’s heart heavily, not only were the onlookers all silenced, the howling young man also closed his mouth in death.
West Sea Sect inner disciple!
Who would have thought that the Xu Family’s newly recruited Confessor Superior would have such a big head.
The young man had cursed first, so there was no problem in punishing him for disrespect, and even if Wang Chen killed him on the spot, he wouldn’t be punished much.
It was considered very lucky that he only received a slap on the wrist now!
