Chapter 1603 Dogs Fighting Dogs

Little did he know that the maid named Yingxi would take the opportunity to follow him and beat him up severely.

Even now, thinking about it makes Ge Qifei feel sore all over.

He had also heard Ying Xi say that if he continued to harass Lan Hua, Zhang Shu's fate would be his fate as well.

Zhang Shu had his tongue cut out, his eyes gouged out, and he went mad and killed his own mother. He had already been beheaded.

Although there was no evidence, Ge Qifei believed that Lu Shuyu was responsible for all of this.

As it turns out, that idiot Xu Cai went and tried to sow discord between the sisters.

What are you really thinking?

"What am I thinking? I'm just trying to stand up for you. You're the one who said she threatened you. So, isn't my stirring up trouble between Lan Hua and her exactly what you want?"

Ge Qifei sneered, "Is that so? Is that all?"

Xu Cai fell silent instantly. Of course, that wasn't all; she was also insanely jealous of Lan Hua.

Yes, she and Lan Hua used to be good friends. When they were little, she thought Lan Hua was quite pitiful. Her family was dirt poor, and her biased grandmother even used things from Lan Hua's house to subsidize her second son's family who had lost their daughter. And her third son was a good-for-nothing.

But then everything changed. The second son's daughter was found and even opened a shop, giving the third son a job.

As the Lu family's life improved, Xu Cai gradually began to feel resentful.

After the second branch of the Lu family left Jiangyuan County and Yiren Pavilion was handed over to Lu Daniu for management, Xu Cai's gaze towards Lan Hua changed.

However, what truly brought this sense of imbalance to its peak was the marriage proposal from the Ge family to the Lu family.

She had met Ge Qifei. Although he was thin, he was quite handsome. Xu Cai had taken a liking to him before Lan Hua, but the Ge family had their eyes on the Lu family.

At that time, Lu Daniu was the shopkeeper, Lu Erniu was studying, and Cuihua's husband's family also ran a shop in town.

The two families quickly arranged the engagement, and Xu Cai particularly hated Lan Hua.

But things took an unexpected turn. Lu Shuyu was exiled, the Ge family broke off the engagement, and Lan Hua hid at home, refusing to see anyone.

Xu Cai was extremely excited; she felt she had another chance.

Sure enough, she's with Ge Qifei now, isn't she? She'd met Lan Hua's fiancé, the one named Yu Fenglin. He was tall and big, but had a fierce look on his face. People like that might hit someone if they were unhappy.

Xu Cai felt that she had won back a tenth of the battle in this matter.

But Ge Qifei didn't think that way; he had no desire to be enemies with Lu Shuyu. Ever since he broke off his engagement with Lan Hua, many people knew he had offended Lu Xiangjun and avoided their family whenever possible.

He was the youngest son in the family and was originally very much loved, but now he is also complained about by his older brother and sister-in-law, and his life is much worse than before.

Even worse, no matchmaker dares to come to his door to propose marriage. And even if one does, the women they introduce him to are all unattractive or undesirable.

Feeling depressed, Ge Qifei started drinking to drown his sorrows. His drinking habit had become quite strong, which is why he asked Xu Cai to find a chance to secretly get some good wine today.

She hadn't originally intended to be with Xu Cai. He was from Shangshi Village and was good friends with Lan Hua. It would be so awkward if they met again in the future.

But then he realized he had no better choice. Xu Cai was fairly good-looking, and her family wasn't too poor.

In addition, her deep affection for him made Ge Qifei feel very accomplished.
