Housemaster Luo was angry for real this time. “What do you mean by I want to kick them out? Do you want to keep them here for all the dramas that they have been causing here? Don’t tell me you had no idea what your precious grandson did while they were staying with us a while back. You tell me. They were only here for a few days and a few of our maids almost committed suicide. And you still want to treat this kind of trash as treasures?”
“I… I meant our daughter…”
Old Mrs. Luo’s voice lowered after her husband shouted at her. She wasn’t able justify herself anymore. Everything that he had said was true.
“You…”
Housemaster Luo was angry and resigned. He didn’t really mean to blame his wife, but he still looked very angry. He said to her, “I know you’ve placed them in one of our places outside of the city limit. Do you have any ideas how many of our farmers have came and made complaints about them? They were about to ruin every single maiden in the village. Do you know that helping your daughter was the same as harming others’? And we are talking about our own farmers. This is all bad karma. How could you say we are mean to them? I can’t even understand you sometimes.”
The more he talked about it, the angrier he got. He had a difficult time calming himself down. “If they weren’t related to us, I would want to take care of them myself. You wait. This will not end well for them.”
“……”
Old Mrs. Luo was speechless. She understood that as well. It was just that…
People were selfish by nature. No matter how horrible one’s children were, and what kind of villains they were, they were still family at the end of the day.
“Okay, just stay out of this one. If you want to go visit Sacred Land Zhongyuan, then go and stay there for a while. That way that damned child won’t be able to come and talk to you. Don’t think I don’t know what has been going on. You have been giving them money behind my back. No matter how much money you have, you will not be able to support the expenditure of her whole family!”
Old Mrs. Luo let out a light sigh. Thinking of her older daughter, her husband was exactly right. Each time she asked for money, she wanted more than what was given to her the previous time. At this rate, no matter how deep the Luo’s pocket was, there still wouldn’t be enough for her.
“I will go pack up and take off to visit Yuqin and Junhao in a couple of days. You send them a letter first.”
“I got this. Stop worrying!”
“At least I won’t have to worry about this for a little while when I am gone.”
Old Mrs. Luo, looking down now, turned and walked out of the study.
After she had left, Housemaster Luo let out a deep, long sigh. There were only too much meaning within that sigh.
Inside the Cheng’s study at Sacred Land Zhongyuan!
“Xiao Xiao, are you saying that you want this building constructed?” asked Cheng Biyuan as he looked at a pretty drawing of a three-story structure in front of him.
Zhou Jinjiang, sitting next to him, glanced over at it a couple of times and nodded, “Not bad. Xiao Xiao is quite talented in her drawings. I could almost see this building in front of my eyes right now.”
“Can we build it?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao nonchalantly.
“Of course we can!”
Replied Cheng Biyuan and Zhou Jinjiang at the same time. Zhou Jinjiang couldn’t help but asked, “Xiao Xiao, what do you plan to place inside this three-story building?”
“All sorts of cultivation doctrines,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile. “I was thinking about a five- or six-story building originally. But that might not be necessary. Three stories should be sufficient.”
“Cultivation doctrines?”
The sound of that deepened the smile on Zhou Jinjiang. “Xiao Xiao, I’ve heard you you’ve were able to acquire quite a few cultivation doctrines. When are you going to show them to me?”
“I can’t show them to you just yet. You will have time to look at them after the construction of our cultivation doctrine pavilion.”
