"Then you still want to steal their babies and threaten them." Xiao Zhonghui was very angry when she saw that Li Jiang had won back the victory, and charged Li Jiang with child kidnapping.
"Haha, he and his wife didn't care when they fought. I was afraid of hurting the child, so I asked my female companion to take care of him. Besides, you were the one holding the child in the end. Oh, Miss Xiao, I'm afraid you have something.
I forgot to tell everyone that there was a scholar who tried to persuade them and was almost injured by them, right?" Li Jiang countered.
There was a buzz, and everyone in the hall really didn't take it seriously. No one thought that Li Jiang had gone too far.
Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Xiao Zhonghui said angrily: "Okay, even if you were kind in the past, how can you explain that you later used your martial arts skills to rob the couple of their sword skills?"
"Hey, didn't I explain it to you then? Why haven't you figured it out yet?" Li Jiang nodded his head with his finger and sighed, as if he was despising her for her poor brain.
"Humph, you are talking nonsense, who believes it?" Xiao Zhonghui was so angry that he repeated what Li Jiang said at that time.
Now everyone was in disbelief, and looked at Li Jiang in strange ways.
Seeing that the situation was beginning to be favorable to her again, Xiao Zhonghui couldn't help but smile and raise her neck high to see what else this evil man had to say.
Li Jiang seemed to be taken aback, and immediately looked at Xiao Zhonghui like a fool, and said: "Miss Xiao, I am a Taoist priest, is it strange that I am in trance? Tell me, that couple has never told anyone about them.
I know the name of the sword technique I learned, why is that?"
"Well, well, it's possible that you knew it from other secret places, yes, that's it." Xiao Zhonghui thought for a while and found a reason.
"Haha, Miss Xiao still doesn't believe in the magic of my Taoist sect. In this way, I can calculate your origin with just a few fingers. Do you believe it?" Li Jiang raised his left hand and shook it.
"I don't believe it? Don't be alarmist." Xiao Zhonghui made a face at Li Jiang.
"Okay, you wait." Li Jiang looked at Xiao Zhonghui, pinched his fingers with his left hand and muttered something.
In less than two minutes, Li Jiang stopped chanting the mantra and said loudly: "Okay, I have the result."
When everyone looked over curiously, Li Jiang said: "Your name is Xiao Zhonghui. You are eighteen years old and have yet to be named Guizhong."
"Tch, many people know about this." Xiao Zhonghui said contemptuously.
"Don't be anxious, just listen to what I'm going on to say. You also have a friend named Yuan Guannan. He'll be here later..." Li Jiang smiled strangely and continued.
"Oh, you're talking nonsense, I didn't..." Xiao Zhonghui interrupted Li Jiang's words, but her red face made everyone see that this Taoist priest seemed to be right.
Li Jiang added another weight and said: "Your surname is not Xiao, your surname should be Yang, you are..."
"Daozhang Li, stop talking. I think you did the right thing. It's my daughter who is being petty. I'll make amends for you on her behalf. Please sit down and enjoy tea." Xiao Banhe suddenly interrupted Li Jiang's next words.
He also stood up and gave Li Jiang a fist-cup salute.
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall looked at each other and became quiet for a moment.
Seeing that Xiao Banhe was unwilling to reveal the truth, Li Jiang stepped down and returned to Li Wenxiu to continue drinking tea.
Xiao Zhonghui was a little confused. She slowly walked back behind the screen, looked at the two ladies, and murmured: "My surname is not Xiao, but Yang?"
The two ladies also heard the debate in the hall just now, and both looked at Xiao Zhonghui distressedly. Mrs. Yang even stepped forward and hugged her, gently stroked her hair and comforted her: "Don't listen to his Taoist priest's nonsense, you
His surname is Xiao. These Taoist priests like to pretend to be ghosts and scaremongering, otherwise how would they make money?"
Xiao Zhonghui had a bad impression of Li Jiang and didn't quite believe what he said.
After listening to Mrs. Yang's words, she gradually came back to her senses. She thought about it for a while, and realized that she had been betrayed by him, and then she fell into his scheme later. It seemed that he should have seen the difference between us at that time.
Love, so now you are here to defraud me!"
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhonghui's depression disappeared. She turned around and snorted bitterly. She took Mrs. Yang's arm and returned to the back hall with the two ladies.
In the hall, since Li Jiang stopped talking, he resumed the original process and continued to receive guests by roll call.
After receiving two more waves of people, Li Jiang raised his head and looked outside because he heard the voice of an acquaintance.
Amidst the sound of drum music, people arrived before their names were announced.
The welcome chant rang out: "Lin Yulong, Ren Feiyan, and Yuan Guannan wish Mr. Xiao a long life."
Three people immediately walked in at the door, entered the hall, and saluted Xiao Banhe with clasped fists.
A handsome scholar said loudly: "Juniors Lin Yulong, Ren Feiyan, and Yuan Guannan, I sincerely wish senior Xiao that he will be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Nanshan Mountains. Please accept some gifts from the seniors."
What they presented was a pair of jade-carved cranes.
Xiao Banhe didn't know them, but they came from afar to celebrate his birthday, so he exchanged a few polite greetings with them, and then prepared to invite them down for tea.
Who would have thought that Yuan Guannan would have the courage to say: "Senior Xiao, I wonder if Miss Xiao is at home?"
"Huh?" Xiao Banhe was a little dazed. Why was this man so ignorant of etiquette? How could he possibly ask someone else's daughter?
He looked at the three people in front of him and suddenly realized that these were probably the other people in the inn that his daughter was talking about. Could it be that she and the scholar...
Xiao Banhe couldn't help but think about it. This scholar was very handsome. Judging from his movements, he must have some martial arts skills. He was exactly the type his daughter liked.
He saw Yuan Guannan looking at him expectantly without saying anything. He turned around and called a servant to arrange a few words.
The servant kept nodding, saluted, and then came to Yuan Guannan's side. In a low voice, he invited the three of them to go to the backyard. Someone was there to greet them. After speaking, he pointed to the door leading to the backyard.
Yuan Guannan was already disappointed. When he received the invitation, he immediately became energetic and impatiently pulled Lin Ren and his wife towards the backyard.
Li Jiang was secretly amused. Yuan Guannan must have been too anxious. He immediately wanted to see his lover without saying a few words to his father-in-law. Will he still hang out in the future?
Unexpectedly, after the servant explained to Yuan Guannan and the other three, he walked over again, as if the target was him?
As it turned out, his guess was correct. The servant found him and invited Li Jiang and Li Wenxiu to talk behind the scenes.
Li Jiang is a little bit conceited. What do you mean by letting us go to the back hall? Are you afraid that I will expose the news outside?
However, it was definitely quieter in the backyard, and it was also a good time to practice spiritually. Li Jiang did not refuse, and he and Li Wenxiu accepted the invitation and got up.
In the back garden of Xiao Mansion, when Li Jiang and Li Wenxiu arrived, Yuan Guannan and the others might have already spoken to Xiao Zhonghui and were currently dancing their swords.
To be precise, Lin Yulong was teaching Yuan Guannan the sword technique, and Ren Feiyan was teaching Xiao Zhonghui the sword technique.
