Chapter 207 207: Uncle, have I offended you in any way?

The door of the secret room was suddenly opened from the outside, and Butler Lao Ji came in with a tray and said: "Young master, it's the Chinese New Year. I made beggar's chicken and brought some wine. Can you please eat some?"

Li Jincheng hummed and said, "Okay."

"I have made a few more. I will go out soon and send some to the young lady's house. It is a return gift from last time. Does the young master know the location?"

"Know."

"Okay, I'll leave soon."

Li Jincheng glanced at the phone screen and said, "Well, she will go home later."

Butler Lao Ji glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and said, "If the young master is so reluctant to let go, why insist on going his own way."

"You don't need to persuade me, I have given up."

It's just coveting the last bit of beauty in this world.

After saying this, Li Jincheng closed the monitoring page.

Butler Lao Ji couldn't help but sigh deeply and said: "Hey, it would be great if the young master comes back."

The young master is determined to avenge the blood feud, but a slave cannot hold him back.

Li Jincheng's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, indicating that he would not come back.

Because I had to go back, I went back early.

Not even contact...

The reason why Li Hong let him live was because his uncle's life and death were unknown, and as the only bloodline of the Ji family, he could eventually inherit the Ji family's property.

In the end, it was confirmed that even the two cousins ​​could not be found, and the position of his heir could be clarified.

At that time, even if he wanted to live, Li Hong would not let him live.

As the biological father, he has the right to inherit all the assets in his name after his death...even if they are things he inherited through his mother's family.

He took the suicide note he had prepared early in the morning, handed it to the old housekeeper and said: "If in the end, both cousins ​​cannot be found... and grandpa does not come back, please take out this suicide note again.

If you get it back, you won't need it anymore."

Butler Lao Ji's withered hands took over the folded paper with trembling hands, put it away and said: "Old slave...take the order."

"It's Chinese New Year, why don't you go eat something good and don't neglect yourself? Although she is not old, she is kind-hearted... and will take care of you in your old age."

But the old housekeeper said decisively: "Old slave is a member of the Ji family in life, and a ghost of the Ji family in death. I will not go anywhere."

After saying this, the old housekeeper left the secret room with a determined look.

Li Jincheng sat there, silently lowering his eyes, and his eyes gradually became hollow.

In the evening, not long after Lu Xiaowan arrived home, she heard a guard coming from outside to report that an old beggar man had appeared outside the door and wanted to give a New Year's gift to the youngest lady in their family.

When the Lu family heard this, they all looked at Lu Xiaowan and said, "Wanwan, since when did you make a beggar friend?"

"Is your circle of friends too broad?"

Lu Xiaowan frowned and said, "I don't have this kind of friend! Who is this? I'll go out and have a look."

Lu Yicheng stood up worriedly and said, "Brother, I'll go with you."

"OK."

The brother and sister went outside together, and Lu Xiaowan recognized Lao Butler Ji at a glance.

He stepped forward with a smile and said, "Who am I talking about? It turns out it's you who is here! Come and sit with me in the house. My family is all here."

But Butler Lao Ji refused with a smile: "I won't go into the house. Last time I saw that the young lady liked the beggar's chicken made by the old slave, so I brought some for you, so that I can add some to the young lady's family.

Here’s a dish, by the way, I wish my little master a happy new year and good health.”

"How can I be a guest at home without entering the house? I'm already here, why don't you come in with me and sit down."

"It's really not necessary. I have to rush back. The house can't be empty, otherwise it won't be popular."

After saying this, Butler Ji handed the packed beggar's chicken to Lu Xiaowan, turned around and left in a hurry.

Lu Xiaowan hurriedly caught up and said, "Is it okay that I won't keep you? I'll arrange a vehicle to take you back."

"No, no, no, I came by taxi. The driver is waiting. Madam, please come back quickly."

"Then please be careful on the road. We will have New Year's Eve dinner at home tomorrow, and I will go and eat with you the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, I'm waiting at home for the young lady to come."

After Butler Lao Ji left, Lu Yicheng was a little confused and said, "Who is this?"

"The butler of the Ji family."

"Brother-in-law's maternal wife?"

"Well, Li Jincheng took me back before."

"It is said that all the houses there are deserted, right?"

"Well, it's quite deserted, but the old butler has been living alone in it, waiting for the master to return."

"Is there still a master in the Ji family?"

"Li Jincheng's uncle and his two sons have been missing for many years. Their lives are uncertain. I admire this old man... As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will keep waiting."

Lu Yicheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go inside first."

"Yeah, brother, let me tell you, Butler Lao Ji is very good at roasting beggar's chicken, it's super delicious."

"Okay, let's go inside and taste it together."

"It's a bit heavy. I guess there are several of them."

"Get one for your sister-in-law?"

"Okay! It's all wrapped in mud. As long as the mud isn't removed, it can keep it warm for a long time."

After bringing it into the house, Lu Xiaowan, wearing gloves and looking very professional, removed the mud to reveal the tinfoil inside. When the tinfoil was opened, there was a layer of lotus leaves inside, and finally the beggar's chicken, which was full of color and fragrance, was revealed.

Lu Houshi's mouth watered when he heard this.

Lu Xiaowan showed off: "It's exactly the same as the braised chicken drumsticks made by mom."

"Quickly, bring me my old man."

"Dad, let me have two drinks with you."

"good!"

After Lu Yicheng took a few bites, he quickly stood up and said, "I'll send it over to Tiantian."

Mrs. Lu hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll help you put it on."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Lu Erya raised her eyebrows and said: "Sister-in-law must be happy to accept it, and then she will madly complain about brother, you are holding him back. She has lost weight well, and you use delicious food to seduce her."

Lu Yicheng said: "If you don't eat something good during the New Year, when will you eat it?"

"That's right, then, brother, go quickly."

"Um."

On New Year's Eve, Lu Yicheng took Tang Tiantian home and had a New Year's Eve dinner with the whole family.

Tang Tiantian also took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments with the text: I really like my future mother-in-law’s house!

After Gu Zheng saw her WeChat Moments, he couldn't help but like and comment to criticize her. Tang Tiantian gave her a scolding.

Feeling unhappy, he openly treated his niece Wu Manyue differently at his family's New Year's Eve dinner.

All the nephews received generous checks and red envelopes, but Wu Manyue received nothing.

She cried directly at the dinner table.

"Uncle, have I offended you in any way?"

Gu Zheng said calmly: "No! Your uncle has always been so willful and will send it to whomever he likes~!"

"Mom, dad, sisters, brothers-in-law, I've finished eating and went out for a walk."

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu frowned and said, "It's unlucky to make the full moon cry during the Chinese New Year."
