"Mom, aren't you being too biased toward Eldest Brother? Dividing the family property now, he benefits the most.
"Mom, I want that piece of land by Shuichuan. You promised it to m...
Chapter 602 You won't mind, will you?
Song Chunxue and Hu Wanyu arrived at the gate of the Xie residence and just saw Xie Zheng about to leave by carriage.
Xie Zheng was quite surprised, and staring at her clothes, he subconsciously asked, "What brings you here?"
“I mean, you’re dressed so formally today, I almost didn’t recognize you.” He raised his arm slightly. “Where are you going?”
Song Chunxue felt uncomfortable under his gaze, mainly because her overly youthful outfit made her uncomfortable.
She turned to Hu Wanyu and said, "I think we should change it. I've never worn such expensive clothes before. Wait for me."
As she spoke, she walked towards the door of her second brother's house, saying, "Junior brother, you go first, I'll be right behind you."
Xie Zheng was surprised, "You're going to the Wang family? That fat man even invited you. What's his intention?"
Hu Wanyu and Song Chunxue turned to look at Xie Zheng at the same time, their movements so fast they almost twisted their necks.
Xie Zheng lowered his eyes. "Then go ahead. I'll wait for you here."
"Oh no, Auntie, you look great in it, don't feel uncomfortable. The fabric is a little stiff, but it fits you perfectly, making you look very dashing. You don't need to keep bringing up your age. My uncle dresses like a peacock every day, and with that big belly, even the best fabric is wasted. Just don't worry about what you wear."
What she said wasn't wrong, but Song Chunxue felt that this collar made her have to keep a proper posture at all times.
“That’s right, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. You look very chivalrous in this outfit, Senior Brother. But why are you going to the Wang family? That man has ill intentions. Why don’t you two go to the restaurant and have a talk? You can’t go to the Wang family.”
Thinking of the commotion the Wang family had made tonight, Xie Zheng frowned even more deeply. "You can go wherever you want. I'll have Xie Dong take you to Zuixianlou."
Hu Wanyu was somewhat disappointed.
"Lord Xie, do you remember who I am?" She looked at Song Chunxue sadly. "Master Song is here to accompany you to the Wang family. You two have such a deep grudge. Does the Lord know that tonight is a trap for you?"
"Nonsense!"
"I brought two guards with me, they can't do anything to me." Xie Zheng looked at Song Chunxue, "If anyone's going, it'll be my senior brother accompanying me, why are you going to join in the fun?"
“But your senior brother was sent away; he doesn’t know you’re going to the Wang family.” Song Chunxue lowered her voice. “Do you know that tonight, you’ll encounter a more sophisticated method than Yun Qiu’s to deal with you?”
Xie Zheng's eyes widened sharply, and a flash of anger crossed his gaze as he looked up.
“I’m a man, and I’m not the one who’s going to suffer. You all go back, and I’ll know what to do.”
Song Chunxue looked at Hu Wanyu, but she couldn't bring herself to say what she was about to say.
She also felt that the matter wasn't as serious as Hu Wanyu had made it out to be, but she still wanted to go.
“Hu Wanyu, you are a married woman. Going to a place like that will inevitably draw criticism. Why don’t you go back first? I will make sure nothing happens to him.”
Hu Wanyu shook her head, "We made an agreement, how can you go back on your word?"
"It's not that I'm backing down, it's that I'm capable of protecting myself. I was too naive before. What if I went to his rescue and left you, this delicate flower, in a pack of wild bears? Being groped would be the least of my worries. You said they were all dressed impeccably..."
“I will go to my husband,” Hu Wanyu said anxiously. “If you don’t let me go, my sister and Jiang Yehui’s relationship will not work out.”
"..." This brat even threatened me, "If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out, you can't go."
"Neither of you should go." Xie Zheng was so firm for the first time. "I've seen it all when I was young. If I need you two to worry about me, then I've wasted all these years."
Song Chunxue insisted on going, and Hu Wanyu was determined to go. Later, she changed her story and said that her husband had asked her to come and inform him that they should not underestimate the situation tonight.
Unable to resist any longer, the three of them eventually boarded the same carriage.
Absurd, utterly absurd.
Xie Zheng leaned against the carriage with his eyes closed, trying to avoid seeing or hearing anything.
Song Chunxue looked at Hu Wanyu, wondering how she could be led by the nose by a child.
Forget it, this carriage is full of stubborn people.
Even one donkey can't pull them back, let alone three.
But it was clear that Lord Xie's upbringing couldn't overcome the two of them.
"Lord Xie, you've also gone up the mountain to cultivate Taoism?"
Xie Zheng didn't open his eyes, his arms crossed, and said, "Hmm."
"Would you be willing to take me as your apprentice?"
"..." Is Hu Wanyu about to start a teacher-student romance? Song Chunxue quickly closed her eyes, pretending that she didn't exist.
"Ha! If I were your father, I would have broken your legs long ago!" He really couldn't understand what kind of father could spoil his daughter like this.
Hu Wanyu wanted to explain, but upon closer reflection, she realized that she had indeed harassed him.
The three people, each with their own agendas, arrived at the Wang family's residence.
If Hu Wanyu hadn't made it sound so mysterious, Song Chunxue wouldn't have wanted to go in.
This is like forcing a duck onto a shelf!
"Please come in, Lord Xie. My master has been waiting for you for a long time."
The butler at the door greeted them with a wide smile, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Oh, this is the first time Lord Xie has brought someone with him," the steward said, his gaze falling on the elegant woman behind him, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Please come in."
A female knight-errant and a young Taoist nun, when did Master Xie finally see the light?
Hu Wanyu lowered her head and quickly followed beside Song Chunxue.
Liu Chunshu and two guards followed closely behind, but the steward merely glanced at them indifferently and did not take them seriously.
As the sun set, they stepped through two gates, still warm from the June evening, and arrived at a brightly lit courtyard. A whiff of alcohol mixed with the scent of cosmetics wafted towards them.
Song Chunxue immediately spotted Yun Qiu sitting at the table, dressed in an orange riding outfit, with arrogant eyes and a haughty air, sipping wine with his eyes lowered.
Oh!
She knew that if Yunqiu didn't leave, she and the Taoist priest would have to postpone their trip to Jiangnan again and again.
If she hadn't come, Yun Qiu would probably have been part of the scheme against Xie Zheng tonight as well.
At that moment, Song Chunxue suddenly felt that she was outnumbered and powerless.
She will take Changfeng as her disciple tomorrow!
The next moment, Yun Qiu, who was calmly chatting with the person next to her, suddenly froze with a smile, her face turning extremely serious.
She probably didn't expect Song Chunxue to come to a place like this.
At that moment, Song Chunxue suddenly felt that she had come at the right time, and that her arrival was brilliant.
The fact that Yunqiu showed this expression meant that she would have a great time tonight.
Wang Can, who was sitting in the main seat, had already stood up to greet them.
I couldn't see clearly because of the crowd, and I didn't expect that this well-dressed person would be an old acquaintance.
As they got closer, less than three steps apart, Wang Can's face twitched violently, as if he had seen some ferocious beast, his pupils constricting.
Haha, Song Chunxue smiled.
Are you afraid of her?
That's right.
She turned to look at Hu Wanyu, then turned away to block Wang Can's view.
"Go find your husband, don't cause trouble for yourself."
Hu Wanyu caught a glimpse of Wang Can's gaze and instinctively felt a chill run down her spine.
"good."
Song Chunxue glanced at Liu Chunshu, gesturing for them to follow Hu Wanyu.
Then, Song Chunxue turned around and took a few steps forward, looking at Wang Can with a beaming smile.
"Lord Wang, this place is really fun! It's decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. I've never seen such a beautiful sight in my life. I've come uninvited, I hope you don't mind?"
