Chapter 336 What are you yelling about?

Yuan Zheng was stunned!

A very strange feeling arose in his heart. The Xiao Qingyuan in front of him was no longer Xiao Qingyuan, and Gu Qianhan was no longer Gu Qianhan!

Previously, Xiao Qingyuan never cared about gold, silver, or worldly possessions. He even found the word "silver" annoying!

Gu Qianhan never cared about appearance; to him, appearance was the most insignificant thing!

What happened? Why have they both changed?

Xiao Qingyuan has started to value gold and silver, which Yuan Zheng can barely understand. After all, even a hero can be brought down by a lack of money, and it is indeed too painful to have no money to spend.

What's wrong with Gu Qianhan? He's perfectly fine, so why is he suddenly comparing his looks with Xiao Qingyuan?

An absurd thought popped into Yuan Zheng's mind: "Gu Qianhan, you wouldn't happen to be... in love with Qingyuan's woman, would you?"

He thought that these words would break Gu Qianhan's defenses, but to his surprise, Gu Qianhan remained sitting there indifferently, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Xiao Qingyuan broke down. He stood up and stepped forward, grabbing Gu Qianhan's neck tightly: "Gu Qianhan, I'm going to kill you!"

Yuan Zheng was startled and quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Qingyuan, calm down! Let go!"

His business at Qingyunlou was already dismal. If Xiao Qingyuan lost his temper and actually strangled Gu Qianhan to death here, then Qingyunlou would be completely finished!

He couldn't bear the anger of the Duke's mansion and the Empress!

Gu Qianhan's face turned a frightening red from being pinched, but he remained indifferent, as if he wasn't the one being pinched.

Only when even Yuan Zheng suspected that he was about to be choked did he raise his leg and kick Xiao Qingyuan.

Xiao Qingyuan screamed in agony, clutching his groin as he collapsed to the ground in pain.

Looking at the clear footprint on Xiao Qingyuan's brocade robe, and at the very center of it, Yuan Zheng suspected that Gu Qianhan had kicked Xiao Qingyuan so hard that he would be infertile!

He said that Gu Qianhan was such a cold and ruthless person, so why didn't she fight back? It turned out that she was deliberately waiting for Xiao Qingyuan to lower his guard so that she could kill him with one blow!

He's a ruthless person, ruthless to others and ruthless to himself.

Yuan Zheng tried to help Xiao Qingyuan up, but Xiao Qingyuan was in so much pain that his face turned pale and large beads of sweat dripped down his face. He felt a sense of foreboding: "Gu Qianhan, how could you hit him so hard!"

"I used my feet."

"If anything were to happen to Qingyuan, could you bear the consequences?! Why did you have to hit him of all places... You're deliberately trying to kill Qingyuan so he'll have no descendants!"

"No way! Didn't he just say that his maid is pregnant? Or are you saying that the child she's carrying isn't his? And it's yours? Hey, Xiao Qingyuan, he's cheated on you again!"

Yuan Zheng was lucky he wasn't driven mad by him. His reaction was incredibly quick, and his words were truly venomous! His words were like knives, always aimed at hitting people where it hurt most!

He retorted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense! I've never even seen his maid! If you keep spreading rumors, I'll report you to the authorities!"

"You're going to report this to the authorities for such a small matter? Fine, report it then. Xiao Qingyuan almost strangled me to death just now, so it's only right that we report him to the authorities and have him arrested."

"You!! Wait a minute, you just said that Qingyuan's maid is pregnant!"

"What, is there a problem?"

"You heard everything I said to Qingyuan?"

"I heard you, what's wrong?"

"When did you arrive? How come you heard what Qingyuan said at the very beginning?"

“I arrived a long time ago, earlier than both of you. It’s laughable that Xiao Qingyuan said I was following him. Do you think I have that much free time?”

"What? You've been here for a while?! I didn't see you anywhere!"

"I'm on the second floor, and you didn't look up? You're blaming me? Yuan Zheng, long time no see, you've become a rogue? You've really made something of yourself!"

Yuan Zheng was furious after being mocked by him. He looked at the waiter in the shop with a mixture of surprise and anger: "Why didn't you say Gu Qianhan was here?!"

Little Er said timidly, "This...Sir, you didn't ask!"

Yuan Zheng was so angry his nose almost twisted: "Get out, get out, get out! You idiot, you have no sense at all!"

Xiao Qingyuan, who was on the ground, finally recovered and glared at Gu Qianhan through gritted teeth: "I'm not done with you for what happened today!"

Gu Qianhan clapped her hands: "Great, that's what I was thinking too! We're on the same page, Xiao Qingyuan. But I'm not doing this for today's matter, I'm doing it for Huayi."

Xiao Qingyuan felt a wave of dizziness when he heard him mention Hua Yi again: "What are you going to do now? I'm warning you, you're not allowed to have any more thoughts about Hua Yi, she's pregnant! If anything happens to her or the child, I'll kill you even if it costs me my life!"

"So what if she's pregnant? Chu Yanluo was pregnant back then too, and you still did everything you could to marry her, didn't you?"

Xiao Qingyuan was speechless for a long time after being choked by his words.

Yuan Zheng stepped forward to speak for him, saying, "How can that be the same? Chu Yanluo likes Qingyuan, and they are in love! What are you doing? Qingyuan's maid doesn't like you! The legitimate second young master of the Duke's mansion is actually stealing someone else's pregnant maid. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at to death if word gets out!"

Gu Qianhan glanced at him indifferently: "What are you yelling about? Chu Yanluo and Xiao Qingyuan are in love, so she slept with you behind his back? And she's pregnant with your child?"

"Is it our Dafeng Dictionary that reinterpreted the meaning of 'qingtouyihe' (情投意合), or are you illiterate and so useless that you don't even know how to use 'qingtouyihe'?"

"People should read more books, otherwise even if you have the title of Earl, people will still say that you are an uneducated descendant of a merchant."

"Oh, right, I forgot that the Wenbo family's title has reached its end. By your generation, there is no title anymore. You are now a complete commoner, which is why you are always trying to curry favor with Xiao Qingyuan."

Yuan Zheng opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter a single word.

He charged forward aggressively, only to retreat in disgrace.

He and Xiao Qingyuan were never as good as Gu Qianhan when they were in school, and now, even if they were to curse each other, the two of them combined would still be no match for Gu Qianhan alone.

Is this the difference in knowledge? Is this the power of knowledge?

He truly regrets it! He regrets not studying harder back then!

If he had studied hard, he would definitely be able to give Gu Qianhan a good scolding by quoting classical texts, instead of being scolded by Gu Qianhan like this now.

Gu Qianhan finished cursing and took a sip of tea.

Yuan Zheng thought he had finally stopped and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But to his surprise, after Gu Qianhan finished her tea, she pointed upwards and said, "Oh, I forgot to mention, I wasn't the only one on the second floor who heard you two talking; there was someone else who heard it too."

Yuan Zheng and Xiao Qingyuan subconsciously looked in the direction he was pointing.

Xiao Qingyuan looked at the person with some confusion, but Yuan Zheng's expression changed drastically: "Madam, why are you here too?!"
