Chapter 101 Arriving at the He Family’s Door and Being Driven Away
Those who are unable to pay compensation will be arrested and imprisoned for different periods of time, depending on the amount of property they have damaged. They can either wait for someone to redeem them, or they can only wait until they are released after serving their sentence.
Therefore, during this period of time, although there were many fights in Nan'an City, everyone was relatively restrained and tacitly agreed to stop for the sake of money. As for those with deeper grudges, they also agreed to fight to the death in the martial arts competition.
Fang Yue soon arrived at the door of He Xiaomin's house. It must be said that He Xiaomin's family was quite wealthy. The two stone lions at the door were majestic, the vermilion door was inlaid with golden door nails, and there were several servants with big swords on their waists guarding the door.
Just as Fang Yue was about to step forward, a servant immediately stepped forward to stop her and said to her in a bad tone:
"Where did you come from, you poor beggar? Our He Mansion is not a place you can just come to casually. Go away."
Fang Yue was surprised. With that attire and the fact that he was leading a donkey, he didn't look like a beggar at all. Did this servant have poor eyesight?
Although she had expected that someone might look down on her, this was indeed a way of looking down on her. However, thinking that this was the He family, she still patiently said to the servant:
"I'm not a beggar. I'm here to visit He Xiaomin's family on her behalf."
The servant then looked at Fang Yue carefully and found that she was indeed not dressed like a beggar. However, in his eyes, a traveling doctor was not much better than a poor beggar.
Moreover, after listening to Fang Yue's words, he searched carefully in his mind again and again, but could not find any master of the He family named He Xiaomin, so he could not help but sneer and said to Fang Yue in a mocking tone:
"If you are not a beggar, then you are not a beggar. I don't think you are any different. There is no master named He Xiaomin in our He family. You guys! Even if you want to beg for money, you have to ask for the names of the He family members.
Not just anyone with the last name He, they are all members of the He family. Our He family is a famous martial arts family in Nan'an, and even has a daughter who has gone to practice Taoism. Not just any random person can come to our house casually."
Since the servant said so, no matter how good Fang Yue's temper was, she didn't want to be ridiculed like this here. But now she would not bother with ordinary people. This person would be taught a lesson sooner or later for his behavior.
So she just shook her head and said with regret:
"If your master knew that you drove me away, you would be punished."
After saying this, she turned around and left without stopping. Since she couldn't stay at the He family, she decided to find an inn to rest. She was also somewhat interested in the upcoming martial arts conference in Nan'an and didn't plan to leave just like that.
As for the things that He Xiaomin brought to the He family, she could just give them to them at any time. Looking at the behavior of the He family's servants, she could also guess the family's style and habits. She didn't want to get along with such a family.
Although the servant was somewhat surprised that Fang Yue left directly, he only thought that Fang Yue left because she lost face after her lie was exposed. As for Fang Yue's words, he also thought that she was just trying to save face and did not take them seriously.
Instead, another servant beside him pulled him and whispered, "Brother Zhuzi, aren't you afraid that he is really a guest of the master's house? If you chase him away like this, if the master knows about it, you will be punished."
The servant called Zhuzige pushed the nosy servant hard and said nonchalantly:
"Do you know who my aunt is? She's the aunt of the second young master of the He family. How could I not know who the masters of the He family are? What has this got to do with you? Get out of the way."
Another servant kindly reminded him but was pushed away. He was dissatisfied but did not dare to say anything. Although this man was showing off, he really had an aunt who was the aunt of the second young master of the He family.
That concubine is quite favored, otherwise she wouldn't have assigned this guy who only has fancy skills to be the gatekeeper. All of them have been selected through layers of selection to get this job.
The He family has a young lady who has been chosen to practice Taoism. She has a bright future ahead of her, and there are countless people who want to come to the He family to be servants and guards.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. His face changed immediately. The chief steward seemed to have said before that the young lady from the He family who went to cultivate immortality seemed to be called He Xiaomin.
Wasn't the man who was just driven away here on He Xiaomin's behalf? Could he also be an immortal? But could there be an immortal with such a good temper? He was a little skeptical.
But no matter what, this matter must be reported to the steward as soon as possible. Even if the other party is a liar and it involves that young lady, he will not be punished.
I was afraid that the other party was really sent by the young lady, so I was ridiculed and driven away. Although it was all Zhuzi who did it, he could not escape the responsibility. He did not have a concubine to support him, and no one would protect him if something really happened.
What's more, since it involves that young lady, who knows whether the concubine can protect her? So he rolled his eyes, covered his stomach, and cried out in pain.
"Brother Zhuzi, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the toilet."
Zhuzi looked at him with disgust, thinking that he was such a lazy man that he would poop and pee a lot. He was also afraid that he would really poop and dirty the door of the He family, but even he would be punished, so he waved his hands hurriedly.
"Go, go, go quickly."
The servant also noticed Zhuzi's disgust, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. This man often bullied him, and he would see if he could still smile in a while.
He covered his stomach and ran towards the toilet impatiently. He did not retract his hand covering his stomach until he was out of the sight of the pillar. Then he hurried towards the courtyard where the steward was.
As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, the gatekeeper spotted him. The servant naturally knew that he was the servant on duty at the gate today. Seeing him running in a hurry, he guessed whether he had some urgent business.
But Aunt Hua was talking to the steward inside, and he couldn't interrupt them easily, so he quickly stopped the servant who came and asked him:
"But is there something important you need to talk to the butler about? Is it urgent?"
The servant was a little hesitant. He was not a fool. Since the servant asked this, it meant that the steward was busy. It was not an urgent matter and he could not be disturbed. But he was not sure whether this matter could be considered an urgent matter.
But now that he has come here, it is impossible for him to retreat. There are many servants and women who have seen him along the way. Tomorrow Zhuzi will definitely know about his hypocritical behavior today.
Although the other party is not good at martial arts, he is not stupid. With just a little thought, he will know that he is here to complain. If that happens, he will not be able to stay in the He family. This job was not easy to get, and he is reluctant to give it up.
So he gritted his teeth and told the servant the whole story. Although the servant was only guarding the gate, he was actually one of the steward's confidants and knew much more than the servants.
