Chapter 1298: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Wenren Xinqing actually listened to Wang Cuilu's words and left without looking back when she was asked to, leaving Shi Li alone to face this "second mother-in-law".
Shi Li didn't know the relationship between Wang Cuilu and Wenren Ding. She just drove Wenren Xinqing away, and she was instinctively alert, floating in the water and watching her from a distance.
"I seemed to hear Xinqing calling you Lili just now. Can I call you that too?" Wang Cuilu squatted down and looked at Shi Li gently, and there seemed to be a hint of caution in her words.
Shi Li nodded, not quite understanding what she wanted to say.
"Lili, I'm so glad that the young master met you."
The next second, Wang Cuilu's eyes turned red with excitement again. With trembling fingers, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and opened it with extreme caution.
There was a square brocade box in the handkerchief. When the box was opened, a snow-white jade bracelet was placed inside. The texture was so smooth and almost translucent. Even though Shi Li had been a eunuch in his previous life, he had never seen such a good jade bracelet.
"This is the bracelet left by the young lady. I have kept it well. Now I can finally give it to you."
Wang Cuilu handed the jade bracelet to Shi Li, her expression a mixture of relief, expectation and heartache.
"Lili, please be nicer to the young master in the future. He is really... having a hard time."
Wang Cuilu choked up as she spoke. Shi Li looked at her, swam forward slowly, took the jade bracelet, and put it on her wrist in front of Wang Cuilu.
"How about you tell me about A Ding?"
Mermaids can sense the good and evil of people. Shi Li let down her guard, landed beside Wang Cuilu, and asked curiously.
It was obvious that Wang Cuilu wanted to cry again, but in front of her, she still managed to cheer herself up, "The young master believed what the Taoist said back then, and felt that he was a star of misfortune, so he always stayed away from people and refused to get close to anyone."
Shi Li: ???
So she's not a human?
[Hahaha~ Mermaids are not considered human~]
[The host's reaction is a bit funny hahaha~]
[Strictly speaking, mermaids really can’t be considered human, host! Wake up! ]
From Wang Cuilu, Shi Li learned more about the Wenren Ding.
He also experienced a kidnapping as a child.
Originally, he had deliberately kept away from everyone just because of the words of "The Unlucky Star". After being rescued from the kidnapping, he not only refused to get close to anyone, but his temper also became extremely violent.
At the worst time, half of the old house was destroyed.
After this incident, he simply moved out. Wen Renqing had no way to deal with him and could only let him do what he wanted.
Destroyed half of the old house?
When Shi Li heard this, she subconsciously looked around.
I thought that the Wenren old house was so big, and the Wenren Ding was able to destroy half of it. The explosive power was really amazing.
[The host always fails to grasp the main point...]
[No, no, no! The anchor's focus is always different~]
[Explosive power hehehe~~~]
Wen Ren Qing had been waiting for Wen Ren Ding in the hall. Even after waiting for a long time, he did not show any impatience. When Wen Ren Ding finally appeared, he stood up directly without caring about his father's status as an elder.
The father and son talked very little to each other, but Wen Renqing was used to it. Before Wen Rending became impatient, he took him to the study to meet the merchants from the imperial capital who were waiting there.
Wenren Ding's business is spread all over the place, and the business in the imperial capital mainly depends on the two people in front of him.
One of them is surnamed Huang and the other is surnamed Li.
Both of them had heard of Wen Ren Ding, and when they met, they said a lot of nice compliments. Wen Ren Ding was expressionless as always, and not frowning was already a great honor.
"I heard that the young master recently got a mermaid. I wonder if I can have a chance to see it. The mermaid pearls and mermaid silk are both priceless treasures..."
"That's nothing. I heard that mermaids are extremely beautiful, hehe..."
The two of them obviously didn't find out the truth and actually focused their attention on Shi Li.
Before he finished speaking, Wen Renqing's expression changed.
Then, Wen Ren Ding lifted the two of them into the air, each holding their collar.
