Chapter 5: The More Advanced Business of Soft Rice

Hmm," Xu Qianqian replied

Shen Lang staggered out of the Xu family's main gate

Certainly, as a doctor equipped with X-ray vision, it is quite simple for him to support himself and his family; opening a medical clinic would suffice

Zhang Jin's voice continued to be heard from outside

"Father, we were too blatant today," Xu Qianqian frowned and said. "This is detrimental to my reputation"

Thus, Shen Lang was driven out of the Xu family mansion by several house servants

When he was driven out of the Xu family, the maidservants pointed and whispered about him along the way

The Xu family residence is quite large, covering several dozen acres, and it takes a full few minutes to walk through it

After Zhang Jin and Xu Qianqian left, Shen Lang returned to the mirror, a sarcastic smile appearing at the corner of his mouth

Slow down! Shen Lang coldly shouted: "Leader Tian, your days are numbered!"

It is not easy to have such a handsome face, so it must not be wasted; it is essential to find an even more impressive successor

After walking for several hundred meters, Shen Lang could not help but glance back at the Xu family courtyard.

Wait!" Butler Xu said coldly: "Search him. Such lowly scum are not to be trusted; do not let him steal even half a silver coin from the house.

Bang

Zhang Jin then asked: "Do you see her often? Is she truly as beautiful as the legends say, with such high martial arts skills and formidable military strategies?"

Shen Lang, a handsome man, stands no chance against these nine formidable men of the martial world, and it seems certain that he is doomed to die

Xu Qianqian said softly: "I am aware of the depth of this matter."

It is indeed hasty; after crossing into this world, his life as a son-in-law lasted only a little over one hour.

Of course, Shen Lang could not die immediately, so the Xu family sought one doctor after another for him. The outcome, of course, was that he could not be saved, so more than an hour ago, the Shen Lang of this world passed away

Several servants stepped forward to search him, and Shen Lang had nothing on him at all

Time waits for no one; he must quickly focus on managing his own soft rice business

The young lady Jin Mulan of the Duke of Xuanwu's residence, that's right, it's her. Xu Qianqian just mentioned that she is the heiress of a century-old noble family, the princess of Xuanwu City

While reading this body memory, Shen Lang had long realized that more than two months ago, Xu Qianqian had given him various hints, such as the idea of fate not being in their favor, and that her parents at home were very concerned about Shen Lang. However, the previous Shen Lang, being of low intelligence, could not comprehend these hints at all, and thus remained completely indifferent, continuing to live happily in the Xu family.

This is correct; there must be a reason for Shen Lang to drive him away, and it is essential to cast the blame onto him.

What use is being handsome, when one is even more foolish than a pig, completely worthless and useless

Hmph! Do you, Xu Qianqian, still look down on me as a useless person?

Four people are digging a very long and deep pit

"For your own life, and for the lives of your parents and younger brother, you should know what to say once you go out," Butler Xu said coldly. "I almost forgot that you are a fool; remember this clearly. Once you go out, you will say that you stole the Xu family's wealth and assaulted the Xu family's maid, which is why you were expelled. If you misstate even half a sentence, your entire family will suffer. Do you understand?"

However, in his previous life, he spent every day treating illnesses and saving lives, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted. In this life, he only wishes to enjoy wealth and honor, living a leisurely life

After contemplating in his mind, Shen Lang found the direction of home in his memory and walked towards the northwest

"Hey, I'm leaving now." Shen Lang walked out.

All of Xu Qianqian's hints were ineffective, so a month ago, Shen Lang suddenly fell seriously ill, with reasons readily available, as the malevolent energy had transferred onto him, Shen Lang

He will take revenge, and it will be soon, within no more than three days

The Magnolia of the Duke of Xuanwu? Xu Qianqian's tone was somewhat complicated

The door was opened once again, but this time it was forcefully slammed open

He is a poor wretch, having taken advantage of the Xu family by eating and drinking for several months, which is already a favor to him

Bang! The door behind was slammed shut with force

Moreover, his revenge will be relentless, a gentleman's vengeance, from dawn until dusk

They are a noble family with a history of several hundred years, so it is only natural for them to be proud. Zhang Jin said, "By the way, this matter is confidential, so do not speak of it to anyone.

She can be regarded as the princess of Xuanwu City

Zhang Jindao: "We must act quickly, as the Zhu family is seeking a marriage alliance with the Duke of Xuanwu. If Zhu Hongxue and Jin Mulan marry first, their statuses are too elevated, and our wedding will not be as distinguished."

However, before that, he needs to manage his reputation well, as carrying the label of being foolish will not attract beautiful and charming noblewomen

Young Master Shen, please accompany us on a trip

The night was quiet, the moonlight bright yet hazy, as Shen Lang hurried home through the night, accompanied by the sound of insects chirping along the way

"The clothes you are wearing are made of silk, worth several silver coins. Someone like you, a fallen noble, will never have the chance to wear such garments in your lifetime; consider yourself fortunate to have them." Steward Xu waved his hand and said, "Someone, expel Shen Lang from here."

Xu Qianqian frowned again, feeling that her father should not have spoken such words

"Get to work!" A hoarse voice said, "Take Young Master Shen into the pit, and then fill it with soil and bury him properly. Remember to light candles and offer incense afterward, so that Young Master Shen does not leave in too desolate a manner"

But who would have thought that the turbulence of the Earth had actually crossed over, staging a performance of death and resurrection

... ...

Furthermore, Shen Lang is as honest as they come; after returning, he will not speak recklessly. The head of the Xu family said: "Of course, if he dares to speak recklessly, it is likely that his parents and family will suffer consequences"

Shen Lang had nothing to pack, as there were no belongings of his in the Xu family, and he was about to leave directly

... ...

"Get lost, go back to your rural doghouse." A servant forcefully pushed Shen Lang forward

Butler Xu burst in with four martial servants, pointing at Shen Lang and sternly saying: "Bold Shen Lang, as a poor country boy who married into the Xu family, not only have you stolen the family's wealth, but you have also assaulted the maidservants in the household. Such crimes deserve to be beaten to death, but our Xu family is a benevolent household, so we will spare your miserable life for now. The master has ordered the dissolution of the marriage between Shen Lang and the young lady, and you are to be immediately expelled from the Xu family"

There is no other way. Head of the Xu family said: "Young Master Zhang Jin must witness this scene. For the Xu family to develop to this point, we need a strong backing. Young Master Zhang Jin is the best match we can aspire to. Making him happy is the most important thing; as for our family's reputation, it does not matter."

Having finally traversed through time, to think that I would become a doctor? This is truly lacking in ambition

This young man is quite lucky. A voice came from behind, belonging to a middle-aged man, Xu Guangyun, the head of the family that established this vast enterprise.

The soft rice from the Xu family can no longer be consumed, it seems I must seek another bowl of rice to eat

I, Shen Lang, do not even regard your Xu family, merely a merchant. If I am to seek someone, I will look for a noble with power and influence

The privileged young master Zhang Jin directly pierced through the facade, prompting Xu Qianqian to also unveil her disguise, and directly expelled Shen Lang from the Xu family, severing their marital relationship

"Get lost," said Butler Xu

Xu Qianqian stood at the highest point of the pavilion, watching Shen Lang's departing figure

... ...

A few people went up and were about to trap and kill him

This waste has finally been expelled

Seeing the situation before him, Shen Lang was not the least bit surprised

... ...

... ...

However, he is really very handsome

There are a total of 8 people, all holding knives

Who is the richest and most powerful unmarried woman within a few hundred miles?

Perhaps it was due to the awe of Shen Lang's miraculous resurrection, or perhaps for other reasons, the Xu family did not resort to direct murder

... ...

Xu Qianqian said: "This princess of Xuanwu City is very proud and will not attend our gathering. Even the invitation from the governor's daughter does not catch her attention."

His tone is more complex

What kind of person is she, to have, in name, been his wife for several months? It is truly a disgrace

Shen Lang smiled again in his heart

This is a desolate wilderness, devoid of human presence

Looking up at the sky, a bright moon hangs in the air, it is already evening

Then, the five individuals led Shen Lang through the dense forest, winding and turning for nearly a quarter of an hour

Understood, Shen Lang said

Someone has removed the blindfold from Shen Lang's eyes, revealing a graveyard in disarray

After walking for about ten miles, several figures suddenly blocked his path. Five sword-wielding warriors surrounded him, three in front and two behind.

A strip of cloth was directly tied around his mouth, rendering him unable to make a sound, while another strip of cloth was bound around his eyes

In the few months since he joined the Xu family, he has not touched even half a silver coin, let alone steal any money; as for the matter of misconduct towards the maidservants, that is even more absurd

The pit has been dug, leader

This is to bury Shen Lang alive

After a moment, Shen Lang was brought to a stop at a certain location

It is a full forty-odd miles from here to his home, requiring quite a long journey, especially since it is late at night
