Chapter 1127: 040 Not letting you go_4

After hearing He Guangming say that he would have the village women tear up and wash everything when he got back, Lin Yuan felt relieved and nodded, "I will send some disinfectant herbs later; it is winter now, and the sunlight is not strong, making it perfect to use these herbs to fumigate the cotton. It will be more reassuring to use."

"Yes, yes, the young lady has thought everything through."

Observing that He Guangming had suddenly acquired both silver and bedding, the Lizheng felt both envy and jealousy, but no matter how jealous or resentful he felt, he dared not show even a hint of dissatisfaction or resentment this time.

Who could blame him when the fellow had caught the favor of Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan? Moreover, from Lin Yuan’s words, it was apparent that she planned to visit often. In the future, he, Lizheng Hua Hui, would be like a discarded brick, while He Guangming would be the jade everyone admired!

The two had already been out for a long time, and Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan were already very hungry; having already dealt with the Lizheng, they did not delay further and prepared to head back to the Capital city by carriage.

The He family people warmly saw off Xia Zheng and his companion, but the Lizheng’s face displayed discontent, coldly huffing, "Well, He Guangming, I never saw it before, but it turns out you’re even better at currying favor than I am! Hmph, one of these days I really need to treat you to a meal and learn from you!"

Facing the Lizheng’s cold irony and scalding sarcasm, He Guangming pursed his lips, too lazy to bother with him.

He Xiaodong and He Chengfang, however, rolled their eyes, their tone very impolite, "Lizheng is right, if you really want to learn, better invite us soon. Oh, and just any place won’t do; we must go to the best Drunken Immortal Tower in the Capital city!"

The Lizheng had been repeatedly impolite to He Guangming, several times attempting to strip him of his village head position. If not for the unified protection of the He family village people, he would have succeeded long ago.

Therefore, not a single person among the He family village liked the Lizheng, not to mention He Guangming’s daughter and son-in-law.

If it were not for the unpredictability of what the buyers might prefer each time land was sold, he would not even consider involving this troublesome officer!

Lizheng found himself speechless with frustration from the teasing from He Xiaodong and He Chengfang. Drunken Immortal Tower? Despite all the land he had sold, he had never once indulged in taking any silver to dine at Drunken Immortal Tower!

"Hmph, you want me to treat you at Drunken Immortal Tower? Dream on! Even if I were to invite, it should be you! One thousand five hundred taels of silver, that plot of land and that manor, you know very well how much the silver is worth! I see you deliberately didn’t expose me because you wanted to fleece those two! Don’t think you’re so noble; actually, you’re just like me, only concerned with opening your eyes for silver!"

The Lizheng’s words were harsh, even attributing the previous exorbitant pricing solely to He Guangming. He Xiaodong’s little face turned red with anger, almost ready to punch him.

"Xiaodong, stop talking." He Guangming, weighing the silver in his hands, said to the Lizheng, "Lizheng, you’re right, I indeed didn’t expose you. However, do you think those two would be deceived by you? They saw through your ill-intentions long ago; otherwise, why do you think Miss Lin called me away to pour tea? Ha, you think it was just bad luck? They were deliberately setting you up from the start!"

Seeing the Lizheng’s mortified and shocked face, He Xiaodong said with a gratified laugh, "Serves you right! With your ill-intentions, you also deserved to be set up one day! Hmph!"

After speaking, He Xiaodong continued with a gleefully smug expression, "Oh right, Lizheng sir, don’t die of anger. We, the people of He family village, are still counting on you to protect this silver for us! Ha ha."

He Xiaodong’s jubilant laughter rang out like an incredibly grating noise in the Lizheng’s ears, making his head spin.

By the time he regained his composure, the He family was nowhere to be seen; they had already locked the door and walked away.

The Lizheng stomped his foot furiously, exclaiming, "Don’t get too pleased! Don’t think this matter will just pass over. I promise you, the embarrassment you caused me today, I will return it tenfold!"
