Chapter 86: Young Master Takes Action

Yu Wan’s house was too far from the village entrance, so she did not hear the commotion on the other end. Her ears were filled with the sound of the yuanxiao frying in the oil pot. She did not know if it was her imagination, but she kept feeling that there was someone outside the back door.

She paused her big chopsticks that were fiddling with the fried yuanxiao and looked up at the back door.

The little munchkins hurriedly retracted their heads.

Yu Wan continued to fry the yuanxiao.

The little munchkins stuck their heads out again.

Yu Wan looked up again!

The little munchkins retracted their heads again!

Yu Wan raised her eyebrows in confusion. Just as she felt that she was thinking too much, a crisp sound came from outside the back door!

It was the third brother who accidentally broke a branch.

Third Brother’s little body stiffened!

Yu Wan frowned warily. “Who?!”

The little munchkins’ hair stood on end!

Yu Wan put down her chopsticks and picked up the wooden stick. Just as she was about to investigate, Little Bruiser suddenly ran in. “Sis, Sis, bad news! Something big happened in the village!”

Yu Wan’s attention was successfully attracted by Little Bruiser. She put down the wooden stick and grabbed him, who had almost hit the stove, and said, “How many times have I told you? There’s a fire in the kitchen. Don’t make a fuss.”

“I, I, I… I know! But aren’t I anxious?” Little Bruiser scratched his ear.

Yu Wan took out a handkerchief and wiped his muddy face. “Don’t be in a hurry, take your time.”

Little Bruiser stomped his feet anxiously. “I, I, I… I can’t wait! The chips are down!”

This child had even learned the words “the chips are down”? Why did it sound so comical when children spoke like adults?

Yu Wan wiped his face again and said, “Okay, go ahead. I’ll listen.”

“The people from Apricot Flower Village are here! They want to dig up our village!”

Little Bruiser had overheard those arguments when he was playing with the children from the same village. He didn’t hear much, but when they were all added together, even a fool could piece together the truth. He did not expect to encounter such a troublesome matter before the New Year was over.

Little Bruiser was in a hurry to inform Yu Wan and didn’t hear the end, so he missed the discussion about asking Zhao Heng for help. He was so anxious that he cried. “Sis, what should we do? So many people came to our village! Is our village really going to be dug up?”

“Stay at home. I’ll go take a look.” Yu Wan turned off the fire in the stove and walked towards the village entrance.

On the other side, the three little lads strode back into the house. As soon as they entered, they bumped into Uncle Wan, who was carrying a pot of plant ash.

Uncle Wan was tidying up the house until it was dark. He did not expect these three little lads to suddenly appear. He did not stop in time and bumped into them. His hand trembled and the copper basin flipped.

The plant ash fell and drenched the little ones.

The fair and tender little munchkins instantly became dirty munchkins.

The “dirty munchkins” opened their small mouths expressionlessly and spat out a mouthful of plant ash…

“Aiya!” After realizing that he had caused a huge disaster, Uncle Wan was so shocked that his heart almost stopped beating!

Of all people, why did he pour on these three little brats?!

Uncle Wan was already prepared for the three of them to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, the three of them did not even look at him and walked past him.

Uncle Wan, who was dumbfounded: “…”

Was he dreaming?

The three of them came to Yan Jiuchao without any explanation.

Yan Jiuchao looked at the three little brats who seemed to have crawled out of a pile of dirt. His temples throbbed as he said in disdain, “Don’t come over!”

They ignore his order!

Not only did the three of them come over, they even reached out their dirty hands and grabbed Yan Jiuchao’s hand…

Each of them grabbed one finger. The size was just right.

This was the first time Young Master Yan’s sons had taken the initiative to hold his hand. He resisted the urge to throw his sons into the wooden bucket to rinse them a hundred times. The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile.

The three of them pulled him out with all their might.

These were his sons. He knew what they were going to fart with their little butts sticking out.

Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows calmly and said to Shadow Six, who was wiping the ground until he vomited blood, “Alright, stop wiping for now. Go and see what’s going on outside.”

Shadow Six was relieved! Under the jealous and hostile gazes of Shadow Thirteen and Uncle Wan, he left smugly!

Shadow Six wanted to slowly investigate, but his ability did not allow him to. After a while, he “investigated” the entire story.

“Young Master, someone broke into the village and wants to dig a river. They shouldn’t have dug the river through this village, but the documents have been handed down. I’m afraid the village can’t be saved. Young Master, your future neighbors will no longer be Miss Yu, but the fish in the river.”

The little munchkins burst into tears!

Yan Jiuchao glanced at the heartbroken little brats and said slowly, “Tell Zhu Xuannian to get over here!”

Uncle Wan staggered and almost fell!

Zhu Xuannian, Lord Zhu, was the Minister of Works, a third-grade official of the imperial court. Wasn’t it too much to get someone of that level to come over for such a trivial matter?

However, Uncle Wan quickly recalled that when his Young Master was sixteen years old, he had once asked someone to take the token of the Yan Manor and urgently summoned the Grand Tutor from the Capital to Yan City.

“Young Master, why are you in such a hurry to summon me?” The Grand Tutor was out of breath and thought that something urgent had happened.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jiuchao opened a book that he had bought from the market and asked seriously, “Oh, Grand Tutor, how do I read this word?”

The Grand Tutor : “…”

The Grand Tutor was so angry that he lay in bed for three months!

And when he was seventeen…

Eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old… There were so many that Uncle Wan could not count them all. In short, if he didn’t cause any trouble, he would not be his Young Master.

Uncle Wan took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to slap this little lunatic. He slowly said, “This matter is easy to talk about. Why should we go so far? Can Young Master bear to let the little masters cry for so long?”

The little munchkins nodded.

Uncle Wan sighed and said, “I think the county magistrate can make the decision on this matter. Alright, I’ll move my old body and find the county magistrate.”

“Are you trying to take the opportunity to slip away?” Shadow Thirteen said bluntly.

Uncle Wan, who was exposed in a second: “…”

The secret guards were really not cute!
