Feng Jiu smiled. “Let’s keep her for now and see how things go. It’s just a trivial matter. If she behaves well, she can stay; but if she shifts loyalty in the future, just get rid of her.”
As far as she was concerned, she gave the girl a chance. It was still unclear whether the girl was able to take it and resist temptations in the future. After all, not everyone could be as loyal as Leng Shuang and Leng Hua.
She told Little Hao’er what she was thinking to teach him to always be on guard against others. But she thought that since he had been out in the world for a few days, he should have a better understanding of human nature.
Hao’er ate his food quietly, without speaking, but listened intently. He picked a piece of meat for Feng Jiu, “Mother, eat.”
“Good boy, Hao’er, eat a little more.” Feng Jiu caressed his head gently and started to eat as well.
“Come on, let’s eat!” Guan Xilin laughed out loud. “After eating, let’s go for a walk with Hao’er, look around, and buy a few trinkets. Since you got back, you haven’t taken him anywhere!”
“You’re right.” Feng Jiu looked at Hao’er, “Hao’er, would you like to go for a stroll after we finish eating?”
“Yes,” Hao’er replied. When he thought about going for a fun trip with his family, he ate faster.
A few of them shook their heads and laughed when they saw this. They talked while they drank wine.
Downstairs, Little Wu was dazzled and overjoyed as she looked at the meat, vegetables, and sweets on the table. “Are… are all these for me?” She asked Leng Shuang who stood beside her.
“Mm, go ahead and eat!” After Leng Shuang answered, she turned around and went upstairs.
Seeing her leave, Little Wu immediately reached out to grab some food. The waiter in the corner quickly stepped forward, “Don’t use your hands, use chopsticks.”
“Oh, oh.” The little girl picked up the chopsticks and began eating, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, “Who are they? Are they rich?”
“Just eat your food,” the waiter said, chuckling. Even though the little girl was lucky, no one knew if she would be able to handle what was coming.
Wei Feng and Gu Mo arrived at the restaurant shortly after and approached Feng Jiu, “Master, the problem has been taken care of.”
“Mm.” Feng Jiu replied and signalled them to leave.
“Mother, what happened to those people?” Hao’er asked, knowing that Wei Feng and others had dealt with the little beggars whose limbs he had crippled. In fact, he had been merciful, only disabling one of their hands and feet.
“They were thrown out of Cardinal Point City,” Feng Jiu explained, looking at Little Hao’er, “Many times, being merciful can bring endless trouble. When you need to make a decision, make it without hesitation, understand?”
“Mm,” Hao’er replied. After finishing the food in his bowl, he said, “Mother, there’s a place to row boats on the west side of the city. I want to go boating.”
“Alright, Mother will take you there,” Feng Jiu said with a smile. She and several others went out with Hao’er, while Leng Shuang took Little Wu back to Feng Manor.
When they walked through the city instead of taking the Spirit Deer carriage, many people stopped to watch them. Particularly, the sight of Feng Jiu and Wanyan Qianhua together, along with the rarely seen Guan Xilin, naturally aroused the people’s curiosity.
