387 Old man Wang’s Heartfelt Words

Old man Wang had specially dressed up beforehand and changed into his cleanest clothes. Even his beard had been specially trimmed.

Ouyang Changjing did not look down on Old man Wang just because he was an old farmer. Instead, he asked his subordinates to boil water and make good tea.

“I’m not here to talk to you about my little granddaughter this time. The others can go out first. I’m sure they’re not interested in the King of Carving,” Old man Wang said coldly as soon as he sat down.

Ouyang Pei was worried about Ouyang Changjing’s safety, and Ye Yuncang also wanted to watch the show. Both of them were unwilling to leave.

!!

Ouyang Changjing said, “Although this town isn’t big, it’s quite interesting. The town was quite lively two days ago, so it wasn’t convenient to tour. Why don’t you go around now and come back when it’s dark?”

“Junior Brother, in order to greet you previously, there are still two benefactors from the two families who didn’t come to send their blessings. Come with me.” Yun Zhi stood up with a smile. He first called out to Ye Yuncang before turning to look at Ouyang Pei. “Young man, I can tell that you’re a kind-hearted person. You’re definitely willing to help with this matter, right?”

Sensing the threat in Yun Zhi’s eyes, Ouyang Pei once again felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.

When one was under someone else’s roof, one had no choice but to lower their heads.

Who asked him to be inferior to a monk in martial arts!

Ouyang Pei squeezed out the words from between his teeth. “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”

After everyone left, Old man Wang said, “I was lucky enough to see the ornament you brought with you when I was young, but it didn’t look like that.”

Ouyang Changjing was shocked. “Uncle, are you serious? Have you seen Old Master Zhuo before? Was he fine back then?”

At a glance, it was obvious that he really liked the King of Carving.

“He was doing fine,” Old man Wang said casually. “I saw that you quite liked that young fellow. I thought that I couldn’t let you be a fool, so I came to tell you the truth.”

“Young fellow?” Ouyang Changjing was momentarily stunned.

The old man in front of him looked like an ordinary old man. He could only be said to be a little kind-looking, but the information sent by his subordinates told him that they were ordinary farmers.

How could ordinary farmers know about the King of Carving?

At the thought of this, the enthusiasm on Ouyang Changjing’s face disappeared a little.

That’s right, how could he trust the words of an old farmer so easily?

The King of Carving was a great jade sculptor in the current era. He had not carved much jade in his life, and every piece was priceless.

However, he did not like to sell it at a high price. He always said that it was enough to earn money, and he did not like others to raise the price.

It could be said that he was a craftsman who did not care about fame and fortune.

It was rare for Ouyang Changjing to meet someone who could discuss the King of Carving with him. Even if he suspected that the other party was spouting nonsense, he could not help but say something about his opinion of the King of Carving.

“How is he indifferent to fame and fortune? He’s just afraid that if his things are sold too expensively, others won’t be willing to buy them,” Old man Wang said. “For that ornament of yours, I’ve already seen him make ten portions. The initial portion was actually more exquisite than yours. He sold it for 200 taels of silver and gambled it all on the second day.”

Ouyang Changjing: “…”

Was this true? He didn’t believe it.

Looking at Ouyang Changjing’s awkward but polite smile, Old man Wang took a sip of tea and imitated Old Madam Wang’s usually profound expression.

Then, Old man Wang revealed his goal. “Previously, you said that the King of Carving had already passed away, but that’s actually not the case. It’s easy to find that young fellow, but it’s also difficult. If you agree not to pester me anymore, I can give you a clear path and ask him to give you another exquisite ornament for free.”

“Really?” Ouyang Changjing was a little excited, but he immediately calmed down. This was because he could not agree to Old man Wang’s conditions.

Ouyang Changjing: “Uncle, you must be joking. Personal matters are personal matters, but they can’t be compared to the matter regarding the bloodline of the family.”

Although he admired the King of Carving, and he also wanted to see him…

He could not give up on this little girl who was suspected to be Ruan Ruan’s child.

Old man Wang did not expect to use this matter to restrain this group of people. However, he had already agreed in front of his wife, so he naturally had to do this well.

In all these years, he had rarely been entrusted with such important matters.

Wouldn’t he have to perform well in front of his wife?

“You have a point.” Old man Wang did not continue persuading him and changed the topic. “Since you’ve found out that the child is not from the Xie family in Dongling County, do you know how this child came to our house? It’s not as simple as just picking her up from the snow.”

Ouyang Changjing stood up from his seat and came to Old man Wang. He bowed deeply to him.

He bowed sincerely. “Uncle, please enlighten me.”

Old man Wang sighed. “This child has a tough life. When she arrived at our house, she was only half a breath away from death. Her face was the only thing that looked the best from head to toe. Her body was covered in bruises and she had been unconscious for a few days. Her breathing was faint…”

Initially, Old man Wang was still pretending to be pitiful, but as he spoke, his memories seemed to return to last winter.

That was the coldest winter in the history of their village. The last snow could even bury an adult. Otherwise, there would not have been a flood after the sky turned clear.

They did not have much hope of raising the child, but they tried their best to live frugally and save some food for her.

Even his wife, who had always been unwilling to let her family stand out too much, began to show her edge in order to protect that child.

If their family continued to be so poor, it would be fine for the others in the family, but they probably could not raise that weak child.

It could be said that the arrival of that child opened a door in his wife’s heart that had been sealed for a long time.

Ever since her youngest daughter, Wang Aibao, was lost, Old Madam Wang had been living like a walking corpse. She was no longer her usual gentle self. She had a bad temper, spoke harshly, and did things without order.

It was Ah Yu’s arrival that lit up the light in Old Madam Wang’s heart and pulled her back to the mortal world.

As he spoke, Old man Wang’s eyes turned red. He turned around and rubbed his eyes.

Old man Wang’s voice was choked with sobs. “I don’t know where you’re from, and where you want to bring Ah Yu to enjoy life. However, our entire family is worried. Ah Yu has a pure heart. Even if she’s bullied, she’s never complained. We’re all trying our best to protect the innocence and truth in this child’s heart so that she can remain pure and forget her past suffering.”

Usually, Old man Wang would not say so much. He would not even let his emotions show.

Ouyang Changjing did not expect this old farmer to tell him this much.

He followed Old man Wang’s words and his heart ached. That was the royal bloodline. She was very likely Ruan Ruan’s child. Her life shouldn’t be like this!

Then, he heard Old man Wang ask, “I want to ask you, if you bring Ah Yu there, can you guarantee that she won’t be bullied or hurt or suffer?”

Ouyang Changjing wanted to say no on the spot, but he thought of his sister, Ruan Ruan.

...

Everyone said that the eldest princess had been spoiled by the entire royal family of the West Wind Kingdom, so she wanted to go out and play.

However, Ouyang Changjing knew that things were not so simple.

Could that little fellow live as freely as she did now if she returned to the West Wind Nation?
