Chapter 364: Clam Essence
Every time Du Ziyuan uttered a word, Steward Li's strength seemed to be taken away. In the end, his knees softened and he knelt down in front of Du Ziyuan.
He suddenly burst into tears: "My lord, please forgive me! The little one was fascinated by ghosts for a while, and moved something that shouldn't be moved. I beg you, my lord, has a lot, please forgive me!" Nodding. This is a stone floor tile, and soon blood came out.
Yang Zhong watched in shock. When he came to visit with his father, he witnessed with his own eyes how awesome this Butler Li is. Always be polite. But now, he is like a dog in front of Du Ziyuan.
Du Ziyuan stretched out his foot to cover Steward Li's head, and said to him, "I'll make up for everything you have taken, and you can decide what punishment you should have, and then tell those who come to visit, tomorrow I will pay you back." I will come out again, and I won’t wait after the deadline.”
After finishing speaking, he left the palace without staying any longer. He didn't execute or expel Butler Li, such a trivial matter would not be enough to warrant death, and even if he changed to a new butler, he would still be someone he didn't know well, and it would still be possible to make small moves, so the meaning would not be great.
As for meeting those who came to visit, it was his decision after some consideration. Although he has a detached status in Aolan Country now, he has never been an arrogant person. Although these people have selfish intentions, they are here to pay New Year's greetings after all, so it is not appropriate to turn them away. He will show up when the time comes, and it will be fine if he feels it.
Butler Li survived the catastrophe, and quickly kowtowed to Du Ziyuan's back: "Thank you, my lord, for your life, thank you, my lord, for your life..."
Du Ziyuan said to Yang Zhong who was following up: "Brother Onion, I made you laugh."
"No, no." Yang Zhong shook his head hastily.
Du Ziyuan said again: "Where is Uncle Yang? Let's go see him?"
Yang Zhong was flattered: "Good! Good! I will show you the way."
Du Ziyuan is not a person who forgets his roots. Even if he knows that he is the son of the Moon God, he never feels that he is nobler than others. He still treats old acquaintances in the village with the same attitude as before, just like he would give gifts to the village after making money. It's okay anyway, of course he doesn't mind seeing his old neighbor.
When Yang Zhong's father, Yang Ding, saw Du Ziyuan, his reaction was even more exaggerated than his son's, and the speed of kneeling could not be stopped. In the end, Du Ziyuan ordered him to stand up.
Du Ziyuan originally planned to leave after catching up with the Yang family and his son, but when he was about to leave, Yang Ding suddenly knelt down towards him again.
"Uncle Yang, are you still here? Everyone said stop kneeling."
"No," Yang Ding shook his head, "This time it's not a salute, but Caomin wants to ask you for something." Yang Zhong also knelt down next to his father immediately.
Seeing this, Du Ziyuan couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
Yang Ding explained the matter one by one. It turned out that Yang Ding was just an ordinary fisherman back then, living near Du's house, going fishing with Du Ziyuan's adoptive father and Lin Yuxie's father every day. One day, he fished a talking sea clam from the sea, and it was seriously injured. Yang Ding saw it was pitiful, so he took it home and raised it.
Unexpectedly, the sea otter turned out to be a monster, and after recovering from the injury, in order to repay Yang Ding, he left a pearl for him. After selling the pearls, Yang Ding moved to the city to start a business after earning a large sum of money. After all these years, his life can be regarded as affluent.
Du Ziyuan said: "Isn't this very good? I said why your family moved away suddenly back then, without any warning at all."
Yang Ding was a little embarrassed: "It was really a sudden windfall back then, and I panicked, so no one dared to tell."
"It's okay, you don't have to mind." Du Ziyuan could understand his behavior. If this kind of overnight wealth is known, the end may not be good. It's not like Du Ziyuan has never seen the news that he won the lottery and his family property was borrowed. In his impression, it seemed that in the first few years, the Yang family would send some gifts to their family during the festivals, and that was enough.
Of course, the matter couldn't stop here, otherwise the Yang family and his son wouldn't have come to see Du Ziyuan. It turned out that when Yang Ding raised mussel essence at home, because he often went out, the young Yang Zhong took care of it. He was young and ignorant, so he actually made an agreement with the clam spirit, saying that he would marry her as his wife after the clam spirit came back for revenge. The pearl was actually the token of love left by the clam spirit.
"It's something that happened when I was a child. How can I remember it so clearly?" Yang Zhong smiled wryly. "Who would have thought that one day she would actually come to my door."
"Then you can marry her. There is no rule that people and demons cannot be married. Back then, she made your family rich with just one pearl. Wouldn't it be a good thing to marry her back now?" Du Ziyuan asked doubtfully.
Yang Chong said: "You don't know, I'm actually married a long time ago."
"So? Is there any law in Aolan Kingdom that forbids you to marry two wives?"
After listening to Du Ziyuan's words, Yang Zhong, who had always been respectful before, raised his head and said seriously: "The law does not prohibit it, but there is no room for others between me and my wife."
The law actually doesn't mean much, even if monogamy is stipulated, those who will cheat will still cheat, and there are endless mistresses and juniors. Two people who really love each other will not betray each other even if they let each other go.
While Du Ziyuan was surprised by Yang Zhong's deep affection for his wife, he also analyzed: "So you mean that you want to reject that clam spirit but are afraid of offending her, so you want to ask me for help?"
"Yes, yes," Yang Ding said, "You are a person of great merit, and the monsters have to give you face. We really have no choice, so we came to ask you for help."
Du Ziyuan asked Yang Zhong: "If I reject you, what will you do next? For the so-called love, will you put your parents in danger? What does your wife think?"
"Of course not," Yang Zhong shook his head, "We are now looking for a solution. If it doesn't work out, I will still marry her. Even if I never see my unborn child again, it won't hurt my father." and mother."
"Can't see the baby?"
"Yes, that clam spirit claims that her cultivation level is too high to tolerate her on land, so if I marry her, I have to live with her on the seabed far away from the mainland," Yang Chong said, "But I am a human being, and I don't have With a cultivation base, if I want to live freely on the seabed, I must rely on her secret technique to transform into a half-demon, so once I marry her, I will never be able to return to the mainland."
