Everyone Pampers the Small Blessing Who Has a Spatial Pocket! - Chapter 383

383 Confrontation

Ouyang Changjing especially admired this jade carving master called the King of Carving, so he used more words to recommend the ornament in front of him.

If not for the little girl, Ouyang Changjing would never have been willing to hand this thing over.

Wang Chuangui suddenly said, “Wait, you said that the King of Carving has already passed away?”

He only felt that this name sounded very familiar, but when he tried to recall it carefully, he could not remember it.

!!
Now that he heard that the other party had passed away, he inexplicably felt empty and depressed.

It was as if he had lost an especially important person.

He was not the only one who had such thoughts. Wang Chuanfu beside him was the same.

Only Wang Chuanyuan listened with relish and only treated this as a small story.

“That’s right. It’s said that after this jade carving master made this work, he said that he had completely overturned all his efforts in his life. From then on, he announced that he would no longer carve any jade. Not long after, this master passed away.” At this point, regret flashed across Ouyang Changjing’s eyes.

Although in his opinion, this work could not even compare to some of the master’s other exquisite works in the past. These artistic opinions were always very subjective.

What if there was something he could not comprehend?

“This master is too sad. The last piece of work left in the world could only be sold for 5,000 taels of silver. His life was really a failure,” Wang Chuanyuan muttered.

He even thought about himself for a moment. If he could bring the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop to greater heights, everyone in Great Chang would be able to eat the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop.

Would there come a time where their buns would become a sought-after and rare thing?

Especially when he was old and announced that he would only make one last steamed bun. Could that steamed bun be sold for thousands of taels of silver?

Didn’t they say that that which is rare is dear?

However, Wang Chuanyuan’s words did not receive a response. He felt a sudden pain on his head.

“If you don’t speak, no one will think that you’re mute.” Old Madam Wang threw the broom she had casually picked up to the side and glanced at the jade carving ornament. She said to the dumbfounded Ouyang Changjing, “These things are good stuff, but one never visits unless they need something. Young Master doesn’t have any relationship with our Wang Family. Why did you send these things over?”

Ouyang Changjing said, “Your Wang Family has a granddaughter called Wang Ruyu. She’s originally from the Xie Family in Dongling County, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the Wang Family changed.

Old Madam Wang gave her two sons a look. Wang Chuangui hurriedly closed the door. Wang Chuanfu thought for a moment and picked up the two rods behind the door.

One of them was casually thrown to Wang Dalang.

Wang Dalang’s attention was originally still on the jade carving ornament when a rod was suddenly thrown into his arms. He was stunned. “Father? What is this for?”

“Close the door and let the dogs out,” Wang Chuanfu said concisely.

The Wang Family: “…”

Old man Wang thought to himself that he should send Chuanfu to school tomorrow.

Otherwise, his lack of knowledge would be too embarrassing.

As soon as they did this, the people behind Ouyang Changjing pulled out the knives at their waists.

“Aiyaya, what are you doing? How unsightly is it to wave around knives and rods? Harmony makes money.” Yun Zhi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and walked between the two groups of people, not caring about the tense atmosphere.

There was no anger on Ouyang Changjing’s face. On the contrary, the Wang Family’s reaction made him even more gratified.

At the very least, it meant that this family really cared about the little girl.

“We mean no harm,” he said.

“Bad people don’t write the word ‘bad’ on their faces!” Wang Dalang also reacted and took the initiative to raise the rod in his hand.

He finally understood why Grandma did not let them return to the village early in the morning. It turned out that someone had designs on Little Sister Ah Yu.

Ouyang Pei nudged Ye Yuncang, who was silent beside him.

“Say something. Aren’t you usually quite eloquent? Now’s the time for you to play your part.”

Ye Yuncang ignored him.

“1,000 taels. Forget it if you don’t want it.” Ouyang Pei gritted his teeth.

In the next moment, Ye Yuncang took a step forward and said, “Benefactor, Young Benefactor Wang Ruyu has a complementary relationship with your family. However, she’s not a fish in the pond. She’s meant to go to a wider world. Aren’t you afraid of ruining the child’s bright future by stopping her like this?”

Old Madam Wang: “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I only know that Ah Yu was raised by our family and isn’t a Tom, Dick, or Harry by the roadside. Not to mention using these broken things to disgust people, even if you move a mountain of gold and silver over, we won’t sell her. Our family isn’t at the end of the line, let alone doing something immoral like selling our children. If you don’t want to make things ugly, please leave.”

“This old lady looks quite knowledgeable and speaks in an orderly manner. She’s probably not an ordinary farmer, right?” Ouyang Pei leaned closer to Ye Yuncang and lowered his voice. “Help this old lady calculate her fortune and see if she’s from a rich family.”

Ye Yuncang also lowered his voice. “Simple, 2,000 taels.”

Ouyang Pei: “…” He suddenly lost interest.

Ouyang Changjing really did not want to make things ugly for the Wang Family. After all, this family really treated the little girl well. Regardless of whether the little girl was Ruan Ruan’s child or not, she was still a member of the royal family of West Wind Nation.

It was not their style to repay kindness with ingratitude.

“To be honest, Old Madam, the Xie Family in Dongling County is not Little Ah Yu’s family. She’s not from the Xie Family,” Ouyang Changjing said very calmly.

The royal family of West Wind Nation did not only have men who could inherit the golden pupils. If that little fellow was not Ruan Ruan’s child, one of her parents would definitely be a member of the royal family.

No matter how bad their taste was, they would never choose that old man from the Xie family.

Therefore, Ouyang Changjing was also very sure that no matter whose child this Little Ah Yu was, she did not come from the Xie Manor.

Old Madam Wang did not want to talk about it anymore. “Everyone, please go back—we appreciate your kindness. Please bring these things back too.”

Without achieving his goal, Ouyang Changjing was naturally unwilling to leave.

Although he also knew that it was a little presumptuous to visit directly, with his identity, he, the Crown Prince of a neighboring country, could not stay in another country for too long.

Otherwise, if they caused a dispute between the two countries, they would become sinners.

However, he had no choice but to come. Even Ouyang Pei did not trust others to deal with this matter.

The Wang Family raised their weapons with unfriendly expressions. Ouyang Changjing and the others were unwilling to hurt them, so they immediately fell into a stand off.

Seeing that the two sides were in a deadlock, Yun Zhi said, “This matter is very important. I’m afraid it’s impossible to explain it in a day or two. Why don’t you all consider it at length? As the saying goes, slow work produces fine work. There’s no hurry at this time, and we would like to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Wang Chuangui also said, “I don’t think you’re bad people. You probably won’t do anything like snatching. I’m afraid you’ve come from afar. Why don’t you rest for a while and slowly—”

“No way.”

“No way.”

Before Wang Chuangui could finish speaking, Ouyang Changjing and Old Madam Wang spoke in unison.
