C318 I'll Pay You Back



C318 I'll Pay You Back

The palanquin is slow.    

    

Because many people were greeting her on the way.    

    

Some people even brought some fresh fruits and other small gifts for the young lady of Hong family to bring along.    

    

The entire street had a very good attitude towards the young lady of Hong family.    

    

This had also delayed some time.    

    

When they arrived at the blacksmith shop, it was already noon.    

    

The shop owner and the others were eating noodles with Xiao Yun and the others at the door.    

    

The maidservant wanted to get off the carriage and greet them.    

    

But the young lady from the Hong family stopped her.    

    

She carefully looked at the seats where they were eating noodles.    

    

Besides the shop owner, she also knew Old Man Ma.    

    

This guy who was doing the business of eating people had a very good reputation in the business. She naturally knew that this person was not simple.    

    

He also had quite a high position.    

    

The other two were strangers.    

    

One looked like an elegant young master, although his appearance was ordinary. Regardless of whether it was his clothes or his actions, he had a noble air about him. And when such a person carried a bowl of noodles and sucked it without any image, on the contrary, it gave people a sense of closeness and did not feel out of place.    

    

The other person was big and thick. Although one could not see his exact figure, his neck was extremely thick, and his flesh was indescribably solid. As he ate the noodles, he subconsciously became vigilant of his surroundings.    

    

He was obviously an expert, but at this moment, he was acting as the bodyguard of that noble young master. It could be seen that the young master's identity was definitely not ordinary.    

    

More importantly, Old Man Ma's seat was obviously 'lower seat', and it was two seats lower. This wasn't just the difference in status, but also the respect that Old Man Ma had for this young master.    

    

Just the seating arrangement alone was enough for the young lady of Hong family to notice so much information just by looking at them while they were eating.    

    

After that, she whispered to the servant girl, "When you go out later, don't speak nonsense. Don't offend anyone."    

    

"Ah? Oh..."    

    

Stunned for a moment, the servant girl reluctantly agreed.    

    

The servant brought a ladder, stopped the horse, and got off the palanquin.    

    

The young lady of the Hong family walked in front of everyone and stood in front of them. She bowed slightly as a form of greeting.    

    

The first person to bow was Xiao Yun.    

    

The first person to speak was Old Man Ma.    

    

"Manager Ma, long time no see."    

    

He was watertight and heroic.    

    

This was the personality that made people the easiest to get close to.    

    

Old Man Ma was also a quick-witted person. He immediately put down the bowl of noodles and stood up. He said with some excitement, "Isn't this the young lady of Hong family? The last time they met was at the Chamber of Commerce. The young lady was the leader of the association. But she has amazed everyone and made them feel inferior. "    

    

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Old Man Ma said, "Come, quickly meet this young master."    

    

He didn't say his name.    

    

Because Old Man Ma himself didn't know either.    

    

Miss Hong thought that the other party's identity was a secret.    

    

She sensibly bowed once more and called him "Young Master."    

    

Xiao Yun nodded.    

    

He sighed in his heart that this group of people was really tired. Rules, etiquette, and all sorts of other things were messed up to such an extent that they really cared about them.    

    

The reason was actually to tire himself out and make it convenient for others.    

    

Xiao Yun especially liked this kind of rule. It was just that he did not like to use it.    

    

He nodded towards Miss Hong and said with a smile, "So it's Miss Hong. I heard someone mention it before."    

    

Miss Hong also did not know how to respond for a moment.    

    

These words had been cut off by Xiao Yun.    

    

He turned to look at the maidservant.    

    

The maidservant immediately walked up and said to the innkeeper, "The sword we custom-made has come today. Miss will personally come and get it."    

    

He didn't ask whether it was done or not, but when it came to the date, he also said that Miss had personally come to retrieve it. It meant to give you enough face, and if you fail again... It was hard to say in front of an outsider, but after the matter, he had to be aware of what he should do.    

    

Xiao Yun listened from the side and realized that this young maid was not ordinary.    

    

The store owner immediately recovered from the joy from before, and then his face was filled with sadness.    

    

"I... this..."    

    

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to give up.    

    

"The sword wasn't forged successfully, and it even broke the instrument, it's really... Sigh, we'll be responsible for your losses. As long as you give me a little more time, I'll definitely come up with a solution."    

    

The maidservant had an expression as if she had expected this. She spread her hands and turned to look at her young miss. Her gaze seemed to be saying, "What did I say?"    

    

The young lady of Hong family also had a helpless expression.    

    

In fact, she didn't have much hope. The problem now was that the blade of the Xiao family was gone. How should she explain this to her father? This was a problem.    

    

As for the compensation mentioned by the shop owner, she didn't have much hope either.    

    

If Xiao family's ceremonial blade could be obtained so easily and anyone could get it, she wouldn't be so conflicted.    

    

Xiao Yun watched from the side.    

    

He especially looked at the shop owner.    

    

This guy... was better than what he had imagined.    

    

He could have pushed all the responsibility onto himself. After all, he had made the sword. Even if it was very bad, it was still made. It could be turned into a finished product very soon, but it was broken by Xiao Yun.    

    

He didn't say anything about this at all. He had to bear all the responsibility. This... For those who had just met for the first time, this was too interesting.    

    

No wonder people always said that justice killed many dogs.    

    

However, this kind of thing was really very rare.    

    

The so-called small-scale farmer ideology or the small-scale citizen ideology, in simple terms, was to put life first and not consider other things such as moral rules and other factors.    

    

Life! That was the most important.    

    

Xiao Yun thought about it and was not in a hurry to admit his mistakes.    

    

Instead, he turned to look at the young lady of Hong family.    

    

He wanted to see how the young lady of Hong family would choose under such circumstances.    

    

What would she do?    

    

The young lady of Hong family was also in a dilemma.    

    

She was furious.    

    

She even wanted to strangle the innkeeper to death.    

    

But she also knew that this was too much.    

    

However, he was still angry!    

    

Yes, she did not give the shop owner a task. Instead, when she handed the saber to him, she repeatedly asked him if he could do it. The shop owner also repeatedly promised that he would do it well!    

    

It wasn't because he said that he might not be able to do it, but because the young lady of Hong family forced him to do it.    

    

If he promised, he had to do it.    

    

If he didn't do it, he would be punished.    

    

Whether it was in business, in the military, or in the government, it was an iron rule!    

    

If it wasn't for that, Zhuge Liang wouldn't have had to kill Ma Su with tears.    

    

But when it came to the people, this kind of thing happened frequently!    

    

Yes, this was the reason for the different values.    

    

The values of the ordinary people clashed with the values of the rich children of the Hong family.    

    

In the eyes of the young lady of Hong family, the same thing was extremely important.    

    

In the shop owner's opinion, he didn't really care about the fact that he didn't fulfill his promise. Instead, he was worried that the young lady of Hong family would take revenge on him, bully him, or even kill him.    

    

Xiao Yun naturally understood the main reason behind this.    

    

He didn't say anything.    

    

He just looked on coldly.    

    

After all, it was very rare to see someone in this world who could surpass their social class and use the values of other social classes to deal with people from other social classes!    

    

However, such people were also rather valuable people.    

    

Finally.    

    

After waiting for the time it takes to make a cup of tea.    

    

The eldest daughter of Hong family sighed and said, "Forget it. Let's just forget about this matter. It was my fault to have high expectations for you. Speaking of which, wasn't this what my father had mentioned to me? To say that I have a big flaw is that I don't know who I am. I was originally very indignant, but now it seems that it really is the case. "    

    

She smiled as if she was mocking herself.    

    

Then, she turned around and looked at Old Man Ma, talking about some business matters with him.    

    

As for the matter of the sword, it was as if she had forgotten about it, and did not mention it again.    

    

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. Although he felt like he had been scolded, it also meant that he seemed to be fine.    

    

He heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had lost all his strength, and collapsed on the small chair.    

    

He was crying.    

    

He didn't know if it was because he felt wronged or because he was happy.    

    

At this moment, Xiao Yun stood up.    

    

He then took out the sword he had forged from the table.    

    

He smiled and said, "Actually, Miss Hong's sword was already prepared by the shop owner. I broke it and broke it."    

    

"Ah?"    

    

The young lady of Hong family immediately turned her head around and looked at Xiao Yun in shock.    

    

For a moment, she didn't know how to deal with him.    

    

It was strange that no matter who she faced, she would be able to handle it with ease. However, Xiao Yun, no matter what he said or did, would always be stuck at a certain point, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled again and threw the long sword in his hand into the hands of the young lady of Hong family.    

    

He smiled and said, "Since it's broken, I will naturally accompany you. This sword is yours now. It's far better than what you want. Your sword was broken by me. It's its fortune, and also your fortune. "    

    

What he said was insane!
