126 Claiming All

On the third day of the new year, Yang Gongbing set off from Woqian Town early with his wife.

Previously, when Yang Gongbing travelled to Youjia Village, it only took him two and a half hours. But because his wife was slower in her footsteps and her body was weak, she rested several times on the way. When he arrived at Youjia Village, it was almost noon.

As soon as they arrived at the hillside of Youjia village, they heard the cheerful voices of children. Liu Shaoting looked tired and couldn’t help but smile gently.

Yang Gongbing asked considerately, “Dear, we’ll be arriving soon. Shall I get Linglong to tidy your hair?”

There was no woman who did not care about her appearance.

Liu Shaoting smiled at him. “If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten. This is the first time I’m meeting my husband’s teacher. I should not forget my manners.”

Linglong brought over the makeup box and Liu Shaoting held her mirror. Yang Gongbing was afraid that she would be tired, so he held the mirror for her.

Liu Shaoting glanced at him shyly, her entire body bubbling with happiness.

Liu Shaoting’s face was a little pale. Linglong helped her redo her hairstyle and put on some rouge and lip gloss. Liu Shaoting’s gentle aura also became more charming.

Liu Shaoting in her red dress was like a red plum blooming in the snow. Yang Gongbing held her hand and looked at her in a daze. “Dear, you’re so beautiful.”

Liu Shaoting lowered her eyes shyly. “Dear, let’s go.”

“Alright, dear, watch your step.”

Auntie Yang brought the children to the village entrance to build a huge snowman. When Yang Gongbing appeared with his wife, Auntie Yang immediately went forward to greet them.

Liu Shaoting hurriedly bowed with her husband.

Auntie Yang smiled and said, “Lord and Madam Yang, you must be here to look for Great Scholar Yang, right? He should be at home. I’ll get someone to bring you there.”

Yang Gongbing bowed again. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Auntie Yang summoned her third son, Zhao Pengfei. “Little Zhao, bring Lord Yang to Great Scholar Yang’s house.”

“Okay, Mother!”

After taking a few steps, Liu Shaoting was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the village.

She had never seen a mountain village with such a unique scenery. The houses built by each family were actually more beautiful than the courtyards of the big families in Luochuan Manor.

Zhao Pengfei led them as he introduced the village from time to time.

Liu Shaoting rarely went out. She found it interesting to hear Zhao Pengfei talk about the trivial matters in the village.

After walking for a while, Chu Tianbao suddenly appeared in their vision with Stinky and a big white dog behind him.

Zhao Pengfei immediately greeted respectfully, “Hello, Master Chu!”

Chu Tianbao was busy looking for Bai Wutong. He casually raised his head and nodded.

His appearance was cold, and his deep eyes carried an aura that could not be forgotten. Liu Shaoting was stunned looking at him.

It was the first time she had seen such a good-looking man.

Realizing what she was thinking, her ears suddenly turned red and she looked away.

Seeing that Chu Tianbao didn’t seem to recognize him, Yang Gongbing smiled and greeted, “Master Chu, long time no see.”

There was an unfamiliar aura on him. In an instant, Xiaobai stood in front of Chu Tianbao warily and howled a few times. Its cold eyes were like an unfathomable cold lake.

Chu Tianbao noticed Xiaobai’s abnormality and glanced at Yang Gongbing. His calm gaze was like a sharp sword, and Yang Gongbing almost couldn’t withstand it.

They were in a deadlock. Zhao Pengfei hurriedly said, “Master, this is Lord Yang, not a bad person.”

Chu Tianbao glanced at Zhao Pengfei and raised his chin. His arrogant and cold gaze made him feel like someone was holding a knife to his throat.

Stinky patted Chu Tianbao’s forehead impatiently and gestured for him to move quickly.

Stinky’s fair and chubby appearance was too cute. Liu Shaoting was won over by his sharp eyes and his arrogant expression. Her heart almost melted.

If only she and her husband could have such a cute child.

Chu Tianbao was urged by Stinky and he asked, “Is there anything else?”

This was what he had learned from Lin Yue. If he wanted Bai Wutong to treat him as her real husband, first of all, his aura had to be superior to others. He could not be childish and had to be filled with domineering masculinity.

The aura around him was too strong. Yang Gongbing felt like his eyes were about to be blinded by him. He forced a smile and said, “No, I’m fine.”

Chu Tianbao replied with an “Oh” and looked at him with his nose lifted. He said casually, “Then I’ll bring Stinky and Xiaobai to find my wife.”

Without Bai Wutong around, not only was Yang Gongbing mentally tired, he was also under a lot of pressure. He hurriedly said, “Master Chu, please.”

Chu Tianbao replied him with a look and used his qinggong to fly away with a whoosh. Xiaobai followed behind at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

Such an exit was too flashy. Yang Gongbing and the others were dumbfounded.

After Chu Tianbao’s figure gradually disappeared, Bao Zhaoshan, who was beside Yang Gongbing, was stunned for a long time before asking in surprise, “Sir, that big white dog just now seemed to be a wolf, right?”

Yang Gongbing’s attention was on Chu Tianbao just now, while Liu Shaoting’s attention was on little Stinky’s arrogant face.

As Bao Zhaoshan said this, he recalled Xiaobai’s appearance. Its green eyes, long mouth, fierce expression, and sharp fangs. A cold chill immediately rushed through his body.

It seemed like it!

It really was a wolf!

Master Chu was actually raising wolves in the village!

Yang Gongbing swallowed and asked Zhao Pengfei in surprise, “Won’t it bite?”

It took Zhao Pengfei a moment to realize that he was asking about the little snow wolf. He smiled and said, “Xiaobai won’t hurt anyone. It’s smart and intelligent. The entire village likes it.” Then he looked at Chu Tianbao with admiration. “If only I could raise a wolf.”

Hearing that Xiaobai was very familiar with the villagers and Zhao Pengfei was used to it and even wanted to raise a wolf.

Yang Gongbing and Liu Shaoting looked at each other for a long time before digesting this information.

When they arrived at Yang Quanzi’s house, Cui Lingyi brought Liu Shaoting to admire the flowers and drink tea. Yang Gongbing took out Qu Yuanxian’s urgent letter from his sleeve with a dark expression and said, “Teacher, the cleaning paper formula has been claimed by Consort Chu.”

Yang Quanzi’s expression darkened as he quickly took the letter.

When he opened it, his expression darkened.

Xu Zhiyi asked worriedly, “Teacher?”

Yang Quanzi handed the letter to Xu Zhiyi, stroked his beard, and said angrily, “This is too much! This is too much!”

Before Si Huihua returned, he had sent a pigeon message under the orders of the Consort Chu, requesting that Qu Yuanxian and Yang Gongbing to not reveal the formula. What was worse was that he had even warned the villagers of Youjia village that if they dared to leak the formula of the white paper, or use it for profit, or use it privately, they would be beheaded for stealing the royal property.

The worst thing was that after Consort Chu obtained the white paper formula, she did not want to reward the person who developed it. Instead, she even got the government to monitor the movements of Youjia village, afraid that they would leak the white paper formula.

If Yang Gongbing did not do as he was told, he would not be able to keep his head or his official title.

Xu Zhiyi frowned and asked curiously, “This white paper formula was clearly handed over to the Imperial Court. How did it end up in the hands of Consort Chu?”
