"Aunt, instead of disciplining me, you should discipline your own daughter so that she won't cause trouble all the time!"

Zhao Qi had a cold face and didn't buy into her seniority at all.

"You...what are you talking about?"

Her Xian'er was originally a victim, and now she is being ridiculed like this!

Zhao Fang's anger suddenly rose to his throat, and his voice rose involuntarily, becoming even sharper and harsher. At the same time, he turned around and glared at his sister-in-law in dissatisfaction.

"Sister-in-law, this is the good son you called me, but now he has no respect for his elders..."

Zhao Qi was already holding a grudge, and seeing her making things difficult for his mother made him even more angry.

"Aunt, did your cousin tell you that I almost lost my life today?"

He looked at Zhao Fang's confused expression with a cold gaze and sneered, "And it was my cousin who almost caused me to lose my life!"

"What?"

Zhao Fang frowned, his face full of disbelief.

Upon hearing this, the always calm Lady of Duke Zhao panicked, threw off the blanket on her body, stood up, pulled her precious son over, and looked around at him with concerned eyes.

Only after making sure that he was unharmed did she glare at Wu Xian'er in annoyance.

The disgust and dissatisfaction in his eyes also reached its peak!

She had been at odds with Zhao Fang ever since she got married. Usually, out of consideration for their feelings, she would turn a blind eye. But now, Wu Xian'er had almost killed her own son, which she absolutely could not tolerate.

"It's getting late, I won't keep you and your daughter for dinner today!"

Hearing her obvious order to leave, Zhao Fang's face immediately darkened, as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

"This Zhaoguo Mansion is my mother's home, why are you chasing me away?"

Zhao Fang's eyes were fierce and her teeth were gnashing, making people suspect that she would lose control of her emotions in the next second and attack Zhao Qi and his mother.

"Don't forget, my brother dotes on me the most. If you treat me like this today, he will definitely be angry!"

When Lady Zhao heard this, the gentleness on her face disappeared and she stared at her with a sneer.

"Zhao Fang, I've saved your face today!"

"You've probably forgotten that your father-in-law and mother-in-law have passed away. Now I'm the mistress of the house. You can only come if I'm willing to let you. If I don't agree, I'll kick you and your daughter out with a big stick!"

"As for your brother, he loves you, but he loves Qi'er even more. If he knew what happened today, I'd like to see how you would respond!"

She had been married into the mansion for many years and had been bullied by Zhao Fang. When her parents-in-law were still alive, she had to endure it. Unexpectedly, she indulged him and his arrogance became even more arrogant.

"Also, let's call off the marriage between your daughter and Qi'er!"

She didn't approve of this marriage in the first place.

Now that she hasn't even married in yet, she almost killed Qi'er. What would happen if she married in?

"You...you're crazy!"

Zhao Fang had never suffered such humiliation before. He was so angry that he almost suffocated and fainted.

"Mother!"

Wu Xian'er hurriedly supported her, but accidentally touched the wound, causing her tears to fall in pain.

He cursed this sickly aunt in his heart, but pretended to be very aggrieved on the surface.

However, Zhao Qi and his mother were too lazy to listen to their excuses. They directly called the maid and drove them out.

"My poor child, you have suffered so much!"

Looking at the backs of the mother and daughter who were reluctant to leave, Lady Zhao frowned, feeling extremely disgusted. She turned around and looked at her son with a face full of heartache.

Zhao Qi shook his head, helped his mother sit down, and recounted what happened today, emphasizing the mention of Mr. Huang.

…

Outside the door.

Zhao Fang and Wu Xian'er were dragged out of the door by the maid. They completely abandoned their hypocritical faces and started cursing.

"You bastard, you're just a dog by Su Zhi's side, yet you dare to disrespect me? Believe it or not, when my brother comes back, I'll have him sell you all out!"

Zhao Fang's face was distorted and he struggled hard to break free from the maid's restraints.

The maid didn't know whether she was shocked by her words or scared by her shrewish aura, but she retracted her hand and dared not move again.

"You're smart!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Fang's eyes. He adjusted his clothes with his hands, and his peripheral vision happened to catch sight of Mr. Huang, Gu Qing, and Chen Zhizhou who were waiting outside.

She thought of the miracle doctor that Zhao Qi had invited back, and her eyes turned.

His harsh gaze swung back and forth among the three people, finally stopping on Old Huang.

The other two look too young to be miracle doctors. Only the man in the middle looks more like one.

"You, come with me!"

She raised her head, her voice full of arrogance, and pointed at Mr. Huang in an imperative tone.

Mr. Huang frowned, looking displeased.

Seeing this, Gu Qing hurriedly lifted Huang Lao's feet in the dark to remind him that a little impatience would ruin a big plan.

The person who wants to call Mr. Huang away alone is most likely the mastermind behind the scenes who wants to cover up the truth.

Old Huang remembered the repeated instructions from Gu Yatou and Chen Xiaozi in the carriage, so he could only take a deep breath, suppress his temper, and leave with Zhao Fang with a gloomy face.

"Xian'er, you stay."

Looking at her mother's leaving back, Wu Xian'er raised her toes boredly, and finally fixed her eyes on Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou.

Why did she feel these two figures were so familiar?

But they kept their heads down, and she couldn't remember for a moment.

Gu Qing felt the scorching gaze from above her head, pursed her lips, but was thinking about something else.

Wu Xianer's mother was indeed strange. She called Mr. Huang away alone and was even wary of her own daughter.

"You, raise your head!"

The more Wu Xian'er looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong. She frowned and gave the order in a doting tone.

Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou both felt a tremor in their hearts, especially Gu Qing. Facing Wu Xianer's words, he not only did not raise his head, but even lowered his head even lower, wishing he could bury it in the ground.

This action aroused Wu Xianer's suspicion even more.

She narrowed her eyes, crossed her arms over her chest, and her gaze was full of scrutiny.

"Why don't you dare to look up? Did you do something bad?"

"If you don't raise your head again, I'll treat you as a thief and have you tied up and beaten!"

Gu Qing bit her lip, gritted her teeth, and replied in a deliberately rough voice, "Miss, please spare me. It's not that I don't want to look up, it's just that I'm ugly."

"My face was burned before the New Year. It was completely disfigured. I was really afraid of scaring the young lady."

She deliberately exaggerated the situation and created a terrifying and horrific scene in order to scare Wu Xian'er away.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Wu Xian'er stared at her for a long moment before nodding, "If that's the case, then forget it!"

Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"I've never seen a burned person before, so I'm really curious!"

As Wu Xian'er spoke, she suddenly bent down and looked at Gu Qing's face at lightning speed.
