Chapter 822: Stealing Chapter 822: Stealing Editor: Atlas Studios Gentry Weiâs already rotten mood worsened and he stormed towards the backyard angrily.
When he saw the butler following him, he turned around angrily and kicked him.
He shouted, âWhat are you waiting for?
Hurry up and send someone to chase after him.â The butler scrambled out, while Gentry Wei ran to the backyard angrily.
Mrs.
Wei was sitting on a chair with a frown.
When she saw her husband enter, she stood up and was about to ask when Gentry Wei slapped her and said angrily, âWho asked you to let my people go on your own accord?â Mrs.
Wei covered her face and fell onto the chair, looking at her husband in shock.
He actually hit her in front of the servants!
Mrs.
Weiâs heart turned cold, and tears streamed down her face.
âAlright, alright.â She slowly sat up straight and said, âWhich part of this residence isnât under my control?
If Master draws the boundaries, I naturally wonât care anymore in the future.â Gentry Wei sneered and said, âDonât you know what you can and canât interfere in here?â The servants in the room wished they could shrink back and pretend that they didnât exist, but they didnât dare to leave, afraid that their Master would hit Madam again.
Mrs.
Wei sneered.
She knew that Gentry Wei only knew how to be domineering at home.
With the backing of her son and her maiden family, she wasnât afraid of him.
Unless he didnât want to live a peaceful life anymore, he definitely wouldnât dare to hit her again.
Looking at his wifeâs cold gaze, Gentry Wei regretted hitting her just now.
But at the same time, seeing her gaze, he couldnât help but feel gratified.
He flicked his sleeves and snorted before turning around and leaving.
Mrs.
Wei put down her hand that was covering her face.
Her servant girl, Meixiang, went forward to apply a wet handkerchief to her face with heartache.
âMadam, how could Master bear to do that?â âWhy canât he?
Get someone to prepare the carriage and pick up Young Master from the academy.
Bring Young Miss with you.
Weâre going back to my parentsâ house.â Stunned, Meixiang quickly advised, âMadam, this will blow up the matter too much.
It could embarrass Master, and your relationship as husband and wifeââŹÂŚâ âHusband-and-wife relationship?â Mrs.
Wei sneered.
âDo we have a husband-and-wife relationship?â âWhy do you have to do this for a slave?
Madam, you shouldnât have agreed to let Xi Le redeem Xi Xing just now.â Mrs.
Wei looked at Meixiang with a knife-like gaze.
Her face turned icy as she asked, âAre you my slave or his slave?â Meixiang hurriedly knelt on the ground.
âMadam, Iâm saying this for your own good.
Youâve never had such a huge argument with Master beforeââŹÂŚâ âSo I should just watch as Xi Xing gets killed by him?â Meixiangâs face turned pale.
Mrs.
Wei sneered and said, âI didnât care in the past because those people were male prostitutes.
He bought them with money, so I couldnât say anything even if I wanted to.
However, Xi Xing is just a child and an ordinary civilian.
If he hadnât forced them to write an indenture contractââŹÂŚ Since Xi Le can gather enough money to redeem his brother, thereâs no reason for me not to let him go.â Meixiang lowered her head.
Mrs.
Wei looked at her coldly.
No one knew what she was thinking.
The butler, who had chased after them with the servants, watched in horror as Xi Le and his brother got into the carriage marked with the Princeâs estate name.
Xi Le even lifted the curtain of the carriage, turned his head to make a face at him, and shouted, âButler Wei, you should hurry back.
Thereâs no need to send me off.
I wonât be planting the two acres of land I rented anymore, and Iâve paid up the rent to Madam.
Remember to annul the rental agreement for me when you go back.â Xi Xing popped his head out from under his brother, and a happy smile appeared on his fair face.
He shouted, âWeâre going to rent the Princeâs estateâs land to plant crops.
From now on, weâll be tenant farmers of the Princeâs estate!â Gentry Wei, who had rushed over, happened to hear the last sentence.
His eyes widened as he saw the carriage move further and further away.
There was only one thought in his mind, âItâs over, itâs over.
His Highness mustâve found out!â Gentry Weiâs eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Butler Wei hurriedly carried him back with his men.
When Gentry Wei woke up, it was already dark, and Mrs.
Wei had returned to her parentsâ house with her children.
She didnât know that Gentry Wei had fainted.
At this moment, his heart was like dead ashes, so he naturally couldnât think of his wife and children.
He only felt that he had been screwed over badly by Gentry Qian.
Xi Le was just a small tenant farmer.
Why would the Princeâs estate redeem them and pay the rent for them?
The Princeâs estate must have found out something and targeted him, so they took Xi Le and Xi Xing away to get some information from them.
Gentry Weiâs mind raced as he tried his best to think about how much Xi Xing knew about him.
Because he was way too fond of Xi Xing, even if he was still young and Gentry Wei couldnât touch him yet, he would still arrange for him to serve him in the study.
However, Xi Xing seemed illiterate, and Gentry Wei had never entertained anyone else in the study.
Gentry Wei heaved a sigh of relief at the thought that Xi Xing probably didnât know anything.
It was true that Xi Xing didnât know much and couldnât read, but he did know where Gentry Wei hid his things.
Though he had no idea what that thing was, heâd stuffed it into his bag and taken it away when he left.
Xi Le had told him that it was the Princeâs estate who paid to redeem them.
Although he didnât go into details, Xi Xing knew that the Princeâs estate wouldnât redeem them for no reason.
His intuition told him that these things in the secret compartment of the study were useful, so he stole them.
Speaking of which, Gentry Wei kind of had it coming.
Because Xi Xing was only an eight-year-old child who could not read and had never seen the world, Gentry Wei did not guard against him much.
Sometimes, even though Xi Xing was just sleeping in the adjacent space, he still dared to open the secret compartment to retrieve things.
When Xi Xing was forcibly taken away, Xi Le had already instructed him not to openly resist them.
He told him to be careful, listen more, watch more, and speak less.
Also, to remember everything he encountered and not speak nonsense, let alone ask questions.
Although Xi Xing was young, he remembered what his brother had said.
Three days ago, his brother had secretly told him that the Princeâs estate would redeem him and tell him to be careful not to let Gentry Wei have his way.
He started secretly making preparations then.
When his brother arrived today, he had secretly sneaked into the study to steal that thing and stuff them into his bundle.
At that time, Butler Wei wasnât around, and Xi Xing was carrying a small bundle.
It looked like there were only one or two sets of clothes inside.
Mrs.
Wei knew that they were in a hurry to leave, and she was also guarding against Gentry Weiâs sudden return, so she naturally wouldnât check.
Just like that, Xi Xing stole such an important thing.
Mu Yangling looked at the letter and account book on the table.
When she heard Xi Xing explain the process, she couldnât help but laugh.
â Gentry Wei is probably going crazy now.
Youâve done very well.
Donât go to the farm for the next few days and just stay in the residence.
When this matter is resolved, Iâll get someone to send you to the farm.â Xi Le heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Xi Xing to kneel down and kowtow to Mu Yangling.
Seeing the brothers leave hand in hand, the smile on Mu Yanglingâs face slowly faded.
Spring went forward to pour her a cup of tea and said in a low voice, âThat Xi Xing looks like heâs only seven or eight years old.
That Gentry Wei is really an animal.â âThereâs no lack of good people in the world, but thereâs definitely no lack of such evil people either.â Mu Yangling flipped through the account book before closing it with a bang.
âGet someone to investigate how many gigolos have been carried out of Gentry Weiâs residence in the past few years.â Mu Yanglingâs face was icy.
âEven if theyâre of a lowly status, they canât just be killed without consequences.â
