"Look at your wife..." Liang Youcai said with amusement as he glanced at his spouse, "If that’s not a tiger, what is it? Your son has really made something of himself..." It seems that Gu Yao is quite generous, taking his son to hunt a tiger on the very first trip, what a good man.
At this moment, the tiger that was tied up with vines on the wood suddenly moved, causing the men carrying it to wobble a bit.
The spectators immediately exclaimed in surprise and retreated quite a distance.
However, the tiger only moved a couple of times before becoming motionless again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon enough, Old Basket Uncle hurried over, and a few men placed the tiger on a cart and then headed to town, leaving the crowd muttering to themselves.
Back in the village, the families of Liu Cuiyun and Zhao Xinghua became the key objects of small talk among the people, but none of them were boastful. They responded with a few words and went home; everything would have to wait until their sons returned for clarity.
A tiger was also a rare item, something that ordinary families could not afford, but fortunately, there was Prince Eight. After swindling Prince Ten, he had not left Lianhua Town. Having finally left Beijing, as long as Brother Crown Prince did not urgently summon him, he would not go back. Since Brother Crown Prince valued Gu Qingheng, he would certainly want to see Gu Qingheng’s poison cured, and what’s more, there was a business to discuss with Yang Ruxin—the furniture business he also mentioned to Brother Crown Prince, who seemed quite optimistic about it and even said to ask him for silver if needed.
Moreover, Lianhua Town was quite interesting with its variety of entertainment options.
When Weng Ji brought the message that Gu Yao wanted to meet with him, the prince was in the Flower Building of the town, listening to Lady Yaoyao sing a tune.
Lady Yaoyao was the top performer of the Flower Building, beautiful with a lovely voice, and she was in the middle of singing while undressing, already half-revealing her soft chest.
However, after hearing Weng Ji’s words, our Prince Ten immediately left a silver ingot and hurried off.
This left Lady Yaoyao feeling quite let down, nearly smashing her jade-like feet, for such an otherworldly gentleman in this sort of town was hard to come by. Not to say he was generous with money; even if he didn’t pay, she would be willing to serve him. She had hoped to enjoy the song and some wine, and perhaps later they could have gotten a bit more active, but then...
"Stop stomping, or you’ll bring the floor down," Zhao Feihu walked in and took a seat at the table, pouring himself a drink. These days, he had been in a foul mood, having mysteriously lost something and still without a clue to its whereabouts. Of course, what irritated him more was that Tian Geng had gone behind his back to suck up to the young master. It was good fortune indeed; he would wait for an opportunity to deal with that bastard.
"Master Tiger." Yaoyao no longer dared to lose her temper, she hurriedly sat on Zhao Feihu’s lap and poured him a drink, "Yaoyao was unsuccessful..."
"Remember this, the next time he comes, you may use some tricks. Make sure he falls for you, better yet, make him unable to resist you, understand?"
"But, Yaoyao lacks confidence..."
"Then Master will help you regain your confidence," Zhao Feihu said as he picked up Yaoyao and walked towards the bed.
As for Qi Jingyi, when he saw the tiger that was still twitching its legs, his eyes immediately shone with excitement: "Not bad at all, this tiger skin is completely undamaged."
"The beast isn’t dead yet," Yang Ruxin said with a smile, "Absolutely fresh. Eight, this is worth more than a black bear, right? Name your price..."
