Chapter 11: The Index Finger

In the Nuoda Water Bamboo Garden, Pei Murong leaned in front of the window, his bright eyes looked at the lush small bamboo forest outside, one hand subconsciously plucked the strings in his hand, and the faint sound of the piano was like raindrops, as if it had fallen on the small bamboo forest in front of him.

Pei Murong's favorite thing is the scene when she looks at the rain hitting the bamboo forest on a rainy day, and only then will she feel that everything is so leisurely and comfortable, and she can enjoy the real peace and comfort in her heart.

There were some hurried footsteps outside, which made her subconsciously turn her head to look at the door, and then look at the bamboo forest outside the window.

A gentle knock on the door sounded, and before Pei Murong could answer, the door was opened, and a girl who looked like a maid seemed to have known that Pei Murong would recline in front of the window, and the moment she pushed the door open, her eyes looked directly at this side.

"What's wrong, Wan'er?" Pei Murong turned his head, his fair and delicate cheeks were covered with a touch of makeup, his bright eyes seemed to be filled with a hint of sorrow, but there was a trace of heroism hidden between his eyebrows, just like a beautiful woman with low eyebrows and a shallow smile in the painting.

"Miss, my mother is waiting for you in the front hall, saying that there is something important." Wan'er's tone also seemed a little anxious.

"Mom? Did you say anything? Pei Murong frowned slightly, usually her mother rarely disturbed her, and basically never interfered with her in anything.

"I didn't say it, but I was really anxious to see my mother's appearance." The maid Wan'er said.

Pei Murong, who had a hint of heroism between his eyebrows, thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid there's something going on over there in the main building." ”

said so, but his feet were not slow, and he followed Wan'er to the front hall.

Wan'er followed beside her, a little puzzled: "Even if there was a guest who was drunk and made trouble, my mother didn't look for Miss." Someone else can help with it. ”

"Then I have to ask my mother." Pei Murong smiled easily at Wan'er.

When the two came to the front hall, they saw Ruan Sanniang walking back and forth anxiously like ants on a hot pot.

Wan'er just called out to her mother, and Ruan Sanniang, who happened to turn around, saw Pei Murong coming over, and the anxiety on her face instantly became a little thicker: "Good daughter, it's not that my mother wants to come to Shuizhuyuan to annoy you, but there is really no way, if I don't invite you out, something really will happen today." "Mom, don't worry, just sit down and talk. Pei Murong has always respected Ruan Sanniang very much, and Ruan Sanniang is also extremely fond of Pei Murong because of her current status and identity.

No matter what happened to the Teaching Workshop Division, as long as she could prevent Pei Murong from coming forward, she would never make a big fuss, and let other top brands come forward to help settle the guests.

But today, after Ruan Sanniang got the news from the main building, she was shocked and almost sat on the ground.

After all, it was the old bustard who had seen the wind and waves in the Teaching Division, and after being slightly stunned, he began to think about who to find to mediate in the past, after all, the characters on both sides were not something she could offend.

So after a quick calculation with her fingers, Ruan Sanniang had to run to Shuizhuyuan to invite Pei Murong.

"Daughter, mom really can't help it, if there is a way, mom is not willing to put you on this fire to roast. But after all, you are the Oiran of our Sect Division, and you will come forward...... Mom thought, whether it is the son of the Ministry of Rites or the son of the Ministry of Rites, they will give you some face. Count mom begging you to ....... Ruan Sanniang said to make a long story short.

Hearing Ruan Sanniang say that there was a conflict between the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Murong was almost unstable, this ...... Neither side can she offend? This bowl of water wants to be flat...... Mom, she really put herself on the fire to roast her.

"Mom, this ......." Pei Murong didn't know what to do for a while, but looking at Ruan Sanniang's almost begging gaze, Pei Murong had no choice but to take Ruan Sanniang's hand and say, "Then the daughter will go over with her mother." ”

At the beginning, because she had the care of her father's former friend Wang Su, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Ruan Sanniang naturally took care of her, and after Uncle Wang's resignation, Pei Murong originally thought that Ruan Sanniang's attitude towards herself would definitely change greatly.

But half a year has passed, and instead of being indifferent or embarrassed as she thought, Ruan Sanniang was a little more intimate with her than before.

So even if he knew that this trip to the troubled waters was not good, Pei Murong had to take this step forward.

As soon as the two of them walked into the hall of the main building through the back door, they heard an angry shout: "Xu Changting, what do you want?" ”

Lu Xidao had heard before that the fool of the Xu family who was bullied in the past didn't seem to be as stupid as before.

But because they haven't seen each other for more than four years, in his opinion, even if the rumors are true, it's just not stupid. Could it be that you can completely change someone?

But now, Xu Changting, who was standing not far from him, although he still looked vaguely like before, but the temperament of the whole person had changed so much that he didn't know it at all, he really couldn't believe that the fool who was bullied at the beginning could become so tough!

"Don't want to do anything, or...... Let me ask you, what do you want? Xu Changting said lightly.

In front of everyone's eyes, Xu Changting's demeanor was relaxed and leisurely, which made the angry Lu Xidao's face even more embarrassed.

Especially the two subordinates he brought were also kicked and smashed a few tables, lying on the ground and moaning in pain. It made him feel as if everyone around him was waiting to see his joke at the moment.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xidao stared at Xu Changting and said, "Let him go, I am not to blame for today's incident, just treat it as if it never happened." ”

"Oh? What about yesterday? Xu Changting asked.

Ruan Sanniang, who came in through the back door, looked as if the tense atmosphere had lightened slightly, so she gently pulled Pei Murong's hand and motioned for her to take this opportunity to go over and resolve it.

But Pei Murong glanced at Ruan Sanniang, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Mom, wait a minute, the timing is not right yet." ”

The son of the Ministry of Rites and the son of the Ministry of Rites and the Servant of the Ministry of Rites had a conflict in front of the public, obviously it would never be a trivial matter, and if it was so easy to solve and let others intervene in mediation, then I am afraid they would not have a conflict in front of everyone, after all, they are characters with heads and faces in Danfeng City, and they will not be so funny unless they have to.

Ruan Sanniang nodded in agreement with Pei Murong's explanation, quietly beckoned a guy who was hiding on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know why?" ”

Ruan Sanniang is most worried that the two will have a dispute over which girl they are in, in this case, they are the most uncomfortable people in the middle.

"It seems to be because of my own household." The guy from the Teaching Workshop Department explained to Ruan Sanniang and Pei Murong: "Then Gongzi Xu is here to find Po Li San, and Po Li San is waiting for Lu Gongzi here." It seems that Lu Gongzi instructed Po Li San to rob the private land of Xu Gongzi's farmers, and Xu Gongzi came over to stand up for his own farmers. I have to say that this Xu Gongzi is still very righteous. ”

"It's your turn to intervene in the big guys' affairs? It's good to be honest, whether it's Gongzi Lu or Gongzi Xu, that's what we provoked? Ruan Sanniang glanced at the guy next to her angrily, obviously complaining that the guy shouldn't have said the last sentence.

The guy scratched his head and smiled, the Oiran of the Teaching Workshop Division, the first generation of newcomers replaced the old, but Ruan Sanniang has been able to stand tall in the Teaching Workshop Division for so many years, naturally she has her exquisite means of protecting herself and turning danger into a disaster, so that she can make the Oiran, the top brand, and even the guy and the turtle Gong in the Teaching Workshop Division convinced her.

As Lu Xidao warned Xu Changting: Don't take an inch.

Pei Murong frowned slightly, the ins and outs of the matter were already clear, and there were several opportunities to go out to play a round, but for some reason, Pei Murong felt a burst of timidity in his heart for no reason when he saw the son of Lord Xu who seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness.

is different from the noble families she has seen in the Teaching Workshop Division, each of them is arrogant and domineering, and their eyes are above the top. is even more different from those scheming and scheming court officials who occasionally come to drink and catch up with their colleagues, she faintly saw a killing ruthlessness in Xu Gongzi's body.

Although at this moment, Xu Gongzi's expression was normal, a harmless look of humans and animals, but that Lu Gongzi's expression was angry at this time, as if he was very dangerous, but Pei Murong felt that Xu Gongzi, who had a sickly face, seemed to be more dangerous.

"Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of it. But if someone uses indiscriminate means to sin me, then I have to teach him a lesson. Xu Changting got up, walked to the table and sat down on the table, looked at the palm on the table next to him, which was still pressed on the table by Huo Nuer, and gently pulled up Li San's index finger again, and said slowly: "Lu Xidao, since you dare to cause trouble, you have to be prepared to be slapped in the face in public, right?" ”

"You're just a fool?" Lu Xidao hummed.

Even if the two subordinates he brought were knocked down by the followers in front of him, he didn't believe that the fool in front of him dared to do anything to him.

"What will happen if you say that I broke off one of Li San's fingers in front of you?" Xu Changting's expression was calm, and he asked with a smile. didn't seem to be angry at Lu Xidao for calling him a fool.

Lu Xidao frowned, his closed lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Pei Murong, who was not far away, trembled in his heart, and instantly had an ominous premonition.

"You're scaring me?" Lu Xidao was tough in the end.

At this time, Po Li San's index finger, which was pulled up from the table by Xu Changting, was about to be erected upright against the tabletop.

"Then try?" Xu Changting's face was still as usual, and he even had a little smile.

"Okay......." Before Lu Xidao finished speaking, he saw Xu Changting's wrist turn, and he pressed Li San's erected index finger with his palm.

The action was so fast, beyond the expectations of everyone in the hall, there was a slight click in the ears in an instant, and then there was a miserable howl from Li San, and then the whole person began to jump up because of the pain in the heart of the index finger.

But even so, that hand was still pressed on the table, and what made the scalp of the people in the hall numb was that Xu Gongzi, who looked as usual, still pressed his palm on the back of Po Li San's hand, and the finger that was pressed back, as expected...... I'm afraid that it has been completely broken, and at this moment, it is sticking to the back of Po Li San's hand.

Almost without warning, not only the other people in the hall were taken aback, but even Lu Xidao didn't expect Xu Changting to be so crisp and decisive.

When Pei Murong heard a click, his heart suddenly stopped, as if the three souls and seven spirits jumped out of his head in an instant, and the whole person was in a state of confusion in an instant.

Soft Sanniang was stupid, obviously she didn't expect that Xu Gongzi would do it when he said it! It turned out to be a ruthless person who acted without delay!

The entire hall was almost dead silent, only the distorted expression of Li San's ghost crying wolf howl, wave after wave in the hall.

Lu Xidao's face turned a little pale, Pei Murong still didn't react, even the well-informed Ruan Sanniang seemed to be six gods and no master at this moment.

Xu Changting still looked as usual, slowly raised his hand, as expected by everyone present, splashing Li San's index finger was weakly "put" on the back of his hand at the moment, shaking slightly with the struggle of his arm, this scene made people look at the scalp numbness and heart beating.

And Xu Changting took out a brocade from his arms, wiped his hands, and walked towards Lu Xidao, the sickly smile on his face looked extraordinarily mad!
