Helian Wei Wei carelessly hummed, “I’m here as a magistrate.”
“As a magistrate?” Wang Tengyun’s jaw dropped slightly. As he thought about it, he remembered how lowly the position of a magistrate was and silently turned to look at Baili Jia Jue’s handsome face which could never be ignored. Honestly speaking, when he stood before the Third Prince, he always felt this indescribable pressure. “What about the Third Prince?”
Helian Wei Wei smiled once again, “He’s not a prince as of now, he’s my private advisor.”
Her boastful tone was simply too much, wasn’t he just a private advisor… Wait, what did the Young Master say? Pr-private advisor?
Wang Tengyun gulped loudly. The future crown prince came to the provincial capital to be a private advisor?
Did the Retired Emperor know of this?!
“At first, I thought being an imperial officer was rather easy,” Helian Wei Wei rested her chin on her palms, letting out a long sigh, “I didn’t expect to be bullied wherever I go.”
Wang Tengyun’s mouth twitched, “You got bullied?” Young Master, is your demeanor of peerless superiority merely for show? Not to mention the fact that if you were really bullied, that person beside you could plot their death in a matter of minutes. The Third Prince’s methods are easily crueler than yours!
Helian Wei Wei did not acknowledge the fact that she was brutal at all, she thought she was quite weak and small. Lazily, she said, “Wasn’t your lover from earlier thinking of chasing me out?”
“Young Master, can we just leave this matter in the past.” Wang Tengyun felt like crying again. This truly was a dark phase in his life. What would his brothers in the hidden army say if they found out about this?
Once Helian Wei Wei was done teasing him and fooling around, her tone turned serious, “Since Liao Qingtian wants to cause me trouble, go and tell our brethren to come to the provincial capital and prepare for a light battle.”
“Cause you trouble?” Wang Tengyou furrowed his brows, “Why? Even though that Liao Qingtian is a b*stard, he’s very particular as an official. Since you’re the newly appointed magistrate, wouldn’t the first thing he should do is to win you over?”
Helian Wei Wei’s smile was exuberant, “That’s because before I came to the provincial capital, I took a short trip to Fuping and captured his brother and nephew.”
Wang Tengyun was speechless.
“Also…” Helian Wei Wei paused, the corners of her lips curling upward, “I plan to order the closure of the Bayview Restaurant.”
Wang Tengyun had also heard the news about the Bayview Restaurant and as he directed his gaze upward in helplessness, he said, “I bet Liao Qingtian sees the Young Master even in his dreams, and can’t wait to strangle you to death.”
“Thank you, but he’s not my type.” Helian Wei Wei leaned into Baili Jia Jue, her voice loud and clear, “You should go make preparations. I bet our brethren are more than eager to move into action.”
Wang Tengyun lowered his head and answered with the utmost warmth in his tone, “Yes…”
Tonight was destined not to be calm.
The first thing Liao Wenwen did after arriving home was to cry to Liao Qingtian, pointedly referring to ‘those two bumpkins being in the way and it was because of them that Wang Tengyun, who had had feelings for her, drove her right out of Wei Ze World’.
After hearing what his beloved daughter had to say, Liao Qingtian narrowed his eyes, “You just said that between the two, one of them had the surname of Wei?”
“Yes,” Liao Wenwen sniffed, drying her flowing tears.
Liao Qingtian patted her back in an attempt to comfort her and let out a cold laugh, “He isn’t just some bumpkin, he’s the newly appointed magistrate.”
“The newly appointed magistrate? Then…” Liao Wenwen hesitated.
However, Liao Qingtian’s tone became harsh as he spat, “But he did indeed come from the countryside. Don’t worry, once tomorrow is over, that Wei family brat will be nothing but a worthless commoner and you’ll be able to have your way with him!”
The soldiers that were supposed to capture Private Advisor Long should have already moved into action by now. Without his right-hand man, that Wei fellow would not be able to last for long…
