Maybe I shouldn't die.

As both of them worked for the head of the household, he was no stranger to the chief steward, the only difference was that one was in charge of matters within the household, while the other was in charge of matters outside the household, so the friendship between the two was not that deep.

When the chief steward saw the captain of the guards coming, the smug smile on his face disappeared. He had only been thinking about what reward he would receive after reporting the news to the head of the family.

Completely forgetting that the chief guard was still outside to get the news and hadn't come back yet? But things had come to this point, even if he explained that he didn't deliberately take credit, the other party would not believe it.

So he said to the captain of the guards with a little apology:

"I'm so sorry, my men just happened to see Miss Wang bringing the immortal into the Wang family, and they couldn't help but report the news to the head of the family."

After hearing the explanation, the captain of the guards finally understood the whole story. However, they had worked so hard and gone to so much trouble to gather the information for so long, but the other party had taken advantage of it by accident. He was naturally unhappy, and it showed in his tone.

"The butler is really lucky. He even came across this by chance."

The steward pretended not to understand the other party's sarcasm and sincerely thanked him for the compliment.

"Captain of the Guard, you are too kind."

The captain of the guards became even angrier in his heart, but thinking that the other party would definitely be valued by the family because of this incident, it was not a good idea to turn against him immediately. He thought that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, so he didn't want him to catch the old man's braid in the future.

So he didn't say anything more, just snorted coldly, waved his hand and walked out of the reception room. When his subordinates who were waiting outside saw him come out, they immediately greeted him with anticipation on their faces.

"How is it, big brother? You got the news so quickly. Is the head of the family satisfied?"

The chief guard snorted coldly: "After the peaches were picked, who knows if the master will give us any more rewards."

The subordinates immediately changed their expressions and said, "Who has plucked our peaches? All the clues that our brothers have worked so hard to get have been wasted."

The chief guard also said in a bad tone: "Who else could it be? The one behind." But thinking that his men had really put in some effort, if they didn't get anything, it would be difficult to command them next time, so he said with a pained heart:

"It's not good to let you guys work for nothing, so I'll pay for you guys to have a meal, just as a reward for your hard work."

The faces of the subordinates looked better. This was also the reason why they were willing to respect the captain of the guards. Although they could not get any reward, the fact that the captain of the guards was willing to pay to comfort them was a little psychological comfort. After all, some people were unwilling to even save face.

The steward who they said was unwilling to even save face also came out at this time. Facing the eager eyes of several guards, the steward could only pretend to ignore them. He walked past them calmly without any pause.

Then the head of the He family, accompanied by a swordsman and a group of sons, hurried to the gate of the Wang family. Their appearance of mobilizing a large force frightened the gatekeepers of the Wang family.

The relationship between the He family and their Wang family was not good. The other party made such a big noise and was probably looking for trouble. However, the servants still dutifully stood in front of the group of people and asked respectfully:

"I wonder why Patriarch He came to our Wang family?"

The head of the He family usually never took these servants seriously, but thinking that there was a fairy in the other party's house, he couldn't lose courtesy, so he stopped and said to the servant in a gentle tone:

"I'm here to visit your master."

It was the first time that the servant saw the head of the He family being so gentle. Normally, he never even looked at them. He looked at his companion and found that the other person had the same confusion in his eyes as he did.

However, no matter what, since the other party had explained the reason, he also needed to report the matter according to the procedure, so he looked at his companion again and motioned him to notify the steward, and he said to the head of the He family more respectfully:

"Please wait a moment, we will notify the steward immediately."

The head of the He family was surprised that the other party actually asked him to wait outside. He felt even more unhappy, but he still controlled his temper and spoke.

"It's okay. We are here to visit you unexpectedly."

Fortunately, the servant who went to report the news was very quick, and soon the Wang family's steward hurried to the gate.

As soon as the steward arrived, he immediately scolded the servant:

"How can you let Patriarch He wait outside? You are so ignorant."

Without waiting for the servant to reply, he looked at Patriarch He with a smile on his face and said apologetically:

"The gatekeeper is ignorant and has kept you waiting for a long time. I will punish him severely later. Please don't mind."

The head of the He family looked at the steward meaningfully, thinking that the matter of meeting the immortal was more important and it was not the time to be fussy, but he still couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"It's okay. This is also considered fulfilling one's duty."

The Wang family's steward's expression remained unchanged, as if the other party was praising them, and he continued to speak respectfully with a smile on his face.

"Please follow me here."

The head of the He family punched the cotton and couldn't help but feel even more annoyed with the Wang family. The Wang family was really at odds with their family. Even the manager was so annoying.

But he still had to endure it. Even though he felt uncomfortable, he still brought his group of people and followed the Wang family's steward to the reception room.

After the steward brought them in, he waited quietly on the side. The atmosphere in the hall immediately became quiet. The swordsman who came with the He family couldn't help but frowned.

Is the relationship between the He family and the Wang family so bad? The servants of the Wang family dared to be rude to the head of the He family, but the steward of the Wang family just apologized and pretended nothing happened.

More importantly, they had been sitting in the living room for a long time without any tea or snacks. The Wang family should not be short of food, but they were unwilling to even consider the basic hospitality.

Fortunately, the head of the Wang family arrived soon. Before he entered the hall, he could hear the other party's voice with a hearty smile.

"I didn't know that Patriarch He had arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar!"

The gloomy expression on the He family head's face instantly disappeared, and he put on a warm smile.

"I am sorry for disturbing you, brother, by coming here without your permission."

The two of them greeted each other warmly, as if they didn't notice that there was no tea or fruit in the reception room, and the table was empty.

After saying hello, Patriarch Wang asked:

"I wonder why Brother He came to visit me?" Then he looked at the swordsman beside him and asked with a puzzled look:

"I wonder who this is?"

The head of the He family immediately replied: "I heard that your daughter has invited a traveling doctor. This doctor has some connections with my family, so I came to visit him." Then he introduced him to the head of the Wang family:

"This is Brother Yan Ming who came with me to visit the doctor."
