……
"Huh? What's that noise from next door again?"
Yong-tae sat up in bed and leaned against the wall.
"Yuan Hua~ You're so amazing~"
"Eeya~ya la~~~!"
"Don't worry~ My sister and I have our eyes on you~ From now on, you're our partner~ Mmm~~~"
【"Ugh~" (He hit it too hard)
【“…”】
"Hiss—it's a nun? It seems Yuan Hua's brother can be cleared of suspicion."
Yong-tae was shocked, but then he thought of Hannah...
"Since it's not Yuan Hua's brother, then that wealthy man must be someone else. Could it be..."
Yong-tae suddenly remembered the village's rich man, Finrick...
Chapter 59 Yongtai Loses Control! Yuan Hua Responds by Watching from the Sidelines (4000 words)
Finrick, a local tycoon, once coveted Hannah, but after Yongtai advanced to the intermediate warrior level, Finrick no longer dared to act recklessly and had no choice but to give up.
It's not that intermediate-level warriors are particularly powerful, but ultimately we have to consider that this is a remote and impoverished area where advanced-level warriors are hard to hire. The few intermediate-level warriors in the village are all acquaintances, and they are all old men, so they have no interest in working for Finrick, a junior.
If Yong-tae is determined to assassinate him, he won't be able to escape.
The thought that Hannah might be with him fueled Yong-tae's hatred. He got up, picked up the fine iron sword that had been with him for many years from the bedside table, wrapped it in a white cloth, and carried it on his back.
"Fenrick, you must die."
……
"This year's wine production is below target! What are the workers doing at the production line? Bah!"
Finrick glanced at the ledger in his hand, sipped his red wine, and stroked the maid beside him.
"Young Master~ You're naughty~"
The maid standing nearby gave a sharp shout and lightly stomped her foot...
"Haha~ Beauty, we..."
"Finrick! You get out here!!!"
Before Finrick could finish speaking, the door was kicked open! Yong-tae stormed into Finrick's manor, his face contorted with rage!
"This is a private estate! What do you want?!"
Finrick placed the red wine on the stone table, looking at Yong-tae with some displeasure. Considering that Yong-tae was in a somewhat stressed state, he didn't utter any foul language, otherwise he would definitely have received a good scolding.
Is Hannah with you?
Yong-tae stared intently at Fenrique's face...
"You're crazy. What does it matter to me if your fiancée is lost? Am I your father?"
Finrick looked completely bewildered.
"What's wrong with you, coming here so early in the morning? What's wrong? Did your wife run off with someone else?"
(Yongtae: How did you know?!)
"you!"
Finrick is a ruthless guy; he hit Yong-tae's sore spot with just one sentence.
"I kill you!!!"
Yong-tae drew his sword from the white cloth and charged straight at Finrick!
"Help! Murder!!"
Finrick was terrified! He took off running!
……
"Are you satisfied?"
Yuan Hua lay on Katyusha's back, his rapid breaths brushing against Katyusha's forehead...
"Um……"
Katyusha nodded weakly, her face full of satisfaction.
"Ok?"
Yuan Hua suddenly sat up, straining his ears to listen carefully to what was happening outside...
Why is it so noisy outside?
Katyusha sat up in bed and exchanged a glance with Yuan Hua.
"Let's go join the fun."
Yuan Hua gave Katyusha a look.
"Wait a minute, let me cast a purification spell."
……
"Everyone, be the judge! This lunatic barged into my manor this morning, shouting and yelling. I was completely bewildered. What did I do wrong?!"
Finrick stood on the altar, calling out loudly to the surrounding villagers, occasionally glancing back at Yongtae, who was being held down by two burly men.
The audience immediately began to murmur amongst themselves. Yongtai's interpersonal relationships in the village weren't too bad, and he didn't seem like the kind of person who would cause trouble for no reason. This sudden outburst really piqued everyone's curiosity.
"Aunt Ginger, what happened?"
Seeing that Aunt Jin Jisi was also joining in the fun, Yuan Hua quietly came to Jin Jisi's side.
"Haha, you've come to the right person. I'm the village's 'intelligence team leader' every day. I know all the little things that happen in the village."
Ginger couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"Huh? Who is this?"
Ginger set her gaze on Katyusha.
“This is my neighbor Katyusha, who will also be sent to stay in Dinglan Village. We just happened to be passing by and joined in the fun.”
Yuan Hua gave a brief introduction to Katyusha, but did not make their relationship public. The relationship between a nun and her partner was a secret, and no one would openly discuss it. It was an unspoken rule, and any nun who had a partner would be punished by the church if word got out.
Those who value a strong sense of ceremony might choose to hold a small, private wedding ceremony under their own names, just to be considered married. However, they can't write a marriage contract because the marriage contract is handled in the church. What nun would be so foolish as to walk into a trap and tell the church that she's married?
"Oh, so you're a nun."
Ginger nodded thoughtfully...
"Auntie~ We're talking about serious matters, what happened? Why was Yong-tae arrested?"
Yuan Hua pointed to Yongtai on the stage.
"Oh, him? Early in the morning, he ran into Finrick's manor with a sword, shouting and threatening to kill him. I don't know the exact reason, we'll have to wait for the village chief to interrogate him. Of course, I, Auntie, can't miss out on this kind of fun."
Jin Jisi glanced around, then leaned close to Yuan Hua's ear and whispered...
"I heard from the neighbor's daughter of Wang Ergou's uncle's cousin that Hannah has gone missing. Yongtai suspects that Finrick hid her, so he went to Finrick's manor to cause trouble."
"I see……"
Yuan Hua nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that Yongtai had followed the script he had written, but in the process, someone outside the script had been implicated.
If nothing unexpected happens, it was probably the 30 gold coins I gave Hannah that aroused Yong-tae's suspicion.
"Yuan Hua, Katyusha."
Lilan's voice came from the side. The two turned their heads and saw Lilan walking over with a vegetable basket in her hand.
"Sis, we're just here to join in the fun."
Katyusha ran to Lilan's side and took her sister's arm, while Yuan Hua took the vegetable basket from Lilan's hands.
"Thank you."
Upon seeing Yuan Hua, Li Lan instinctively squeezed her legs together slightly...
"You're welcome. It's what a gentleman should do. We're all neighbors, so we should help each other out."
Yuan Hua smiled faintly, which pleased Jin Jisi greatly...
What a great boy! Polite, wealthy, kind, and intelligent.
"The village chief is here!"
"Make way! Make way!"
"Excuse me, excuse me."
"Village Chief, please do me justice, I need an explanation."
Finrick politely gave a gentlemanly bow.
"Kid, what happened?"
Old Jess took a puff of his pipe and sized up Finrick.
"Him, it's him."
Finrick pointed to Yong-tae, who was forced to kneel on the ground.
“Early in the morning, he broke into my manor without permission, spouting nonsensical words, and chased me with his broken sword. If I hadn’t run fast and hadn’t been stopped by the servants, I would be dead. The people in the manor can all testify to what I’m saying.”
"Not only that, he also smashed my windows, furniture, collectibles, and the wine I was going to trade with a nobleman. My initial estimate is that this lunatic caused me a loss of up to five hundred gold coins!!!"
Finrick exaggerated the amount, giving a huge shock to the uninformed villagers.
"If I don't have enough red wine to trade with the noble lord, the loss I suffer will be more than five hundred gold coins!"
"..."
Old Jess, without changing his expression, puffed on his pipe, making a quick mental calculation. He wasn't entirely sure about the former, but the value of the red wine shouldn't be that exaggerated. After all, Finrick's family's winery was just a small workshop. The quality of the wine wasn't bad, but it was just so-so. Five hundred gold coins was more or less an exaggeration. This dishonest brat was really annoying, and to make matters worse, he was the victim in this incident.
