Mu Xin left after lunch. The incident of Wu Xianer going crazy and hurting people in the street caused a lot of uproar.

The Zhao family was in trouble both internally and externally, and the Wu family also lost face.

Wu Xian'er was confined to her home, and Zhao Qi personally came to the Chen residence to apologize.

Chen Mansion.

Chen Zhizhou and Gu Qing sat in the first seat, Zhao Qi sat in the guest seat, and the Zhao family's servants brought up a large box of apology gifts.

"If I hadn't gotten entangled with Wu Xian'er today, Madam Chen wouldn't have been nearly hurt." Zhao Qi's face was full of sincerity, and he felt quite sorry for Gu Qing.

Gu Qingkuan said, "Mr. Zhao, let's talk about it carefully. You and I both know who is at fault, but why is it you who came to the Chen Mansion to apologize instead of Wu Xian'er?"

Zhao Qi's face was a little disappointed. "I'm not afraid of you two laughing at me. My aunt made a big scene in my house. Both sides are embarrassed now. But I can't delay the apology, so I'll come down now.

Hearing this, Gu Qing sighed silently.

Zhao Qi's temperament is still too gentle. The person who hurt others is now under house arrest, while the victim apologizes to others.

It's really ridiculous.

Chen Zhizhou, who had been silent the whole time, sneered, then stood up, patted Zhao Qi on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao, please go back. My Chen family cannot accept your generous gift."

Zhao Qi looked puzzled and suddenly nervous: "Master Chen, are you unwilling to forgive me?"

Chen Zhizhou and Gu Qing have been very kind to him, and he has always regarded them as friends.

Gu Qing glanced at Chen Zhizhou and explained, "My husband and I have always been clear about our grievances. Mr. Zhao was also injured, so why do you have to be so humble? Besides, you are the only son of the Duke, and your family is prominent. You shouldn't condescend to apologize on Wu Xian'er's behalf."

Zhao Qi immediately understood what Gu Qing meant, and a wave of admiration welled up in his heart. He took two steps back and said politely, "Thank you very much."

Chen Zhizhou waved his hand and said, "I won't keep Mr. Zhao here for dinner today. My wife and I have important matters to attend to tonight. How about we get together again sometime in the future?"

"Okay!" Zhao Qi nodded slightly and left Chen's house.

As his figure completely disappeared from sight, Chen Zhizhou's face suddenly turned cold, and anger surged in his eyes.

Gu Qing noticed his emotions, hugged him from behind, and whispered softly, "Okay, I'm fine."

"The princess protected me today, and Wu Xian'er didn't hurt me at all."

Chen Zhizhou wanted to tie Gu Qing to his side. When he learned that Wu Xian'er had knocked Gu Qing to the ground and stabbed him with a hairpin, he wanted to kill this woman to vent his anger!

He reached out and pulled Gu Qing towards him, holding her cheeks. The pity and guilt in his eyes made Gu Qing feel distressed.

"In the future, I will always keep Yinghong by my side and take good care of her."

Chen Zhizhou responded and said in a deep voice: "I, your husband, will definitely help you get back at the humiliation you suffered today."

Gu Qing smiled brightly: "Of course, I won't let Wu Xian'er go either."

But she didn't expect that Chen Zhizhou would do what he said and take people to the Censorate that night.

......

"It hurts so much! You slut! Do you know how to apply medicine?" Wu Xian'er was lying on the chaise longue. Her thighs and back were deeply whipped, and the wounds were horrific.

Zhao Fang was so distressed that she whipped the maid beside her: "Bitch! Didn't you hear what the young lady said? How do you serve me normally?"

The maid was so frightened that her fingers were trembling and she dared not say anything, but no matter how careful she was, Wu Xian'er screamed in pain.

"Get out! Beat her with sticks!" Zhao Fang said, and the maidservant was carried out crying and shouting. The whole yard was filled with women's screams and cries.

When the censor Wu Zhixian rushed over, he saw the maid's body being carried out and couldn't help but frowned.

When he entered the house and saw his daughter in such pain, he felt very sad. He sat beside Wu Xian'er and comforted her, "Xian'er, Dad has found a very good doctor for you. Just bear with it and the pain will go away."

"father!"

Seeing Wu Zhixian, Wu Xian'er burst into tears and complained, "You must avenge my daughter! If it weren't for Chen Zhizhou and Gu Qing, Zhao Qi would never have dared to disobey me, and he wouldn't have lost face for my daughter like this today!"

"Dad! I don't want anything. I just want you to avenge me! Kill the Chen family, okay?"

Wu Xian'er's temperament was just as paranoid as Zhao Fang's, and Wu Zhixian doted on her immensely. Furthermore, he was a member of the Fifth Prince's faction, so he immediately said angrily, "Father has his own plans for this matter."

"I will definitely get revenge for you in the future."

Wu Xian'er finally felt better. Thinking of Mu Xin whipping her, she clenched her hands tightly, "And that bitch Mu Xin!"

Why should she speak for Zhao Qi? Why should she pity Zhao Qi!

Zhao Fang and Wu Zhixian heard her outspokenness and tried to comfort her, saying, "The Mu family is a royal family, not someone our Wu family can mess with. Even if you suffered a loss today, your father will compensate you in the future."

Wu Xian'er closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. She hated that her family was not powerful enough, and hated that she could not step on Mu Xin and Gu Qing!

At the same time, the servant of the Wu family came in cautiously and reported: "Master, the third young master of the Chen family is here."

"Chen Zhizhou? What is he doing here?" Wu Zhixian had a cold face, stroked his beard, and his expression was gloomy.

Zhao Fang fixed his gaze on Wu Zhixian and said viciously, "How dare he come here! Master, you must humiliate him!"

The woman did not understand the intrigues of the previous dynasty. Now Chen Zhizhou was in the emperor's favor, and officials in the court either tried to curry favor with him or kept their distance from him.

What he had just said about taking care of the Chen family for Xian'er was just a momentary comfort.

Wu Xian'er was overwhelmed by the words and grabbed Wu Zhixian's sleeve. "Daddy! You have to avenge me! Do you mean what you said?"

Wu Zhixian pondered for a long time, then slowly brushed her hand away. "Daddy, go check on Chen Zhizhou first. What brings him to my Wu Mansion?"

Wu Xian'er wanted to say something more, but Wu Zhixian had already strode away with his hands behind his back. She looked at Zhao Fang longingly, "Mom! Do you think Daddy will help me?"

"Don't worry, your father loves you the most. You are the legitimate daughter of the family. No matter how powerful Chen Zhizhou is, can he climb over the Censor? He is just a rough man from the countryside." Zhao Fang snorted coldly.

Over there, Wu Zhixian arrived at the front hall, but saw that the host had not arrived yet, but Chen Zhizhou had already sat down safely.

His face suddenly darkened, and he acted like an imperial censor, "Master Chen, why are you coming to my Wu family so late at night?"

One is a civil official and the other is a military general. They have nothing in common. Apart from his background and seniority in the court, Chen Zhizhou is slightly inferior. The Wu family can't do anything to Chen Zhizhou now.

Chen Zhizhou sneered, "Don't you think Censor Wu has an idea of ​​what I'm doing here?"

The servants of the Wu family were shocked and horrified to see Chen Zhizhou being so arrogant.

Wu Zhixian, out of respect for himself, dismissed the servants and maids and sat at the head of the table, hoping to intimidate Chen Zhizhou with his superiority: "Although Lord Chen is a new noble of our dynasty, isn't it too rude to speak so bluntly?"
