Chapter 705 Food Delivery Scandal

The word "Stop!" made Wan Qiqi want to curse.

This is incredibly bad luck!

I've barely stepped into the yard and I'm already running into this plague!

Despite her displeasure, Wan Qiqi turned around and greeted the man in front of her with a smile, "Young Master Tang, it's been a long time!"

"Wan Qiqi, you still dare to come to my house? Are you looking for death?" Tang Qiwen's tone was full of disdain.

This is the Tang residence, how could I possibly be afraid of Wan Qiqi?

He also admired Wan Qiqi's courage.

A woman dares to storm the Tang mansion alone with a gun; she's really asking for trouble!

Wan Qiqi remained calm and composed. "Young Master Tang is too kind. I'm just delivering food because the restaurant is short-staffed."

As she spoke, she lifted the food box in her hand.

"Delivering food? Did you poison the food?" Tang Qiwen asked suspiciously.

"Poisoning is a serious matter, and I'm not that stupid," Wan Qiqi said with a smile. "I hope Young Master Tang won't do anything so foolish!"

She stared straight at Tang Qiwen.

Tang Qiwen met those eyes and his heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, he always felt that Wan Qiqi's eyes could see right through him.

It was as if the other party already knew that they were the ones who went to visit Fang Ziming in prison and gave him wine.

This fear that arose from the heart made Tang Qiwen very unhappy.

"Wan Qiqi, stop talking nonsense! I would never do something like poisoning someone!"

He didn't know that it was precisely because of his explanation that Wan Qiqi became even more certain of her answer.

Wan Qiqi was almost certain that the murderer was Tang Qiwen!

However, unlike in modern times, there was no concept of fingerprints being a reliable indicator in ancient times.

Otherwise, Tang Qiwen's fingerprints would surely have been found in that wine jug.

Wan Qiqi bowed slightly. "Young Master Tang, if there's nothing else, I'll head to the West Garden to deliver the meal!"

With that, she turned to leave.

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Tang Qiwen didn't believe that Wan Qiqi had no ulterior motive for sneaking into the Tang residence.

This woman is extremely cunning; she must be plotting something.

Wan Qiqi merely glanced at Tang Qiwen, without saying a word or refusing his request to accompany her.

In her view, Tang Qiwen following her was a perfect opportunity, since Chen Yongnian was working at the Tang residence. Why not?

On the other side, Fang Luxue was getting anxious while waiting in the West Garden.

It's not far from the backyard to the West Garden, but the person hasn't arrived yet.

Have you encountered any danger?

Fang Luxue caught a glimpse of Old Madam Tang sitting and fanning herself while listening to a tune. Just as she was about to slip away, she heard the other woman speak:

"Sit down! If you don't even have this much patience, how will you serve your husband's family in the future?"

Of every ten sentences Madam Tang uttered, eight were about her husband's family, which annoyed Fang Luxue.

“Grandmother, my father just passed away. Even if I were to get married, it would have to be two years later. I need to observe mourning for my father!” Fang Luxue explained.

When Madam Tang heard this, she seemed to want to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

A pretty figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

Fang Luxue couldn't hide her joy and stood up with a smile, "Sister Qi, it's actually you!"

She still thought Wan Qiqi was in Yunhe County.

Unexpectedly, even after returning to Hefeng Town, they still came to the Tang residence to deliver food.

Then, Fang Luxue remembered her uncle and cousin's attitude towards Wan Qiqi and couldn't help but worry again.

Just as she was about to show concern for Wan Qiqi, she saw an annoying person walking towards the courtyard gate.

"Oh! Little Xue'er is here too! Grandma's courtyard is so lively!"

Tang Qiwen walked past Wan Qiqi and strode inside.

He sat down in the spot where Fang Luxue had been sitting and looked at the embroidery on the table.

She clicked her tongue twice, her eyes showing a hint of disdain, "Little sister Xue'er, your embroidery skills are getting worse the more you practice! What a waste of Grandmother's hard work!"

No matter how good Fang Luxue's mood was, it all vanished after meeting Tang Qiwen.

She gripped her skirt tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "Tang Qiwen, don't go too far!"

Tang Qiwen didn't tolerate Fang Lucue either. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Fang Lucue, I've been giving you face. I'm your older brother. How dare you talk to me like that? You have no respect for your elders. Do you think you're the daughter of a county magistrate?"

"Enough! If you want to make a scene, go to court!" Old Madam Tang's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely imposing.

Her words silenced both Tang Qiwen and Fang Luxue.

Tang Qiwen gave Fang Luxue a cold look. "Grandmother, look at this girl. She's been spoiled rotten by her aunt!"

"Alright! That's enough! Do you think I don't know what kind of person she is, and what kind of person you are?"

Madam Tang tapped the table lightly with her fingers. "It's rare to see you here today!"

"Grandmother, what are you saying! I'm usually busy with government affairs, and I just had some free time, so I came to see you!" Tang Qiwen said with a smile.

Madam Tang glanced at Tang Qiwen and asked, "Did you come to see me, or someone else?"

How could she not see through her grandson's little scheme?

Just like how she figured out what Fang Luxue wanted to eat at Xinglong Restaurant!

Just because she doesn't talk about these things doesn't mean she didn't think of them.

"Of course it depends on you, Grandmother!" Tang Qiwen smiled awkwardly.

"You came because you saw Sister Qi delivering food!" Fang Luxue muttered softly.

"Xue'er, you're not young anymore, you should be more sensible! Qiwen sometimes speaks harshly, but he's still your brother, you mustn't call him by his name!" said Madam Tang.

"Yes, Xue'er knows her mistake!" Fang Luxue bowed her head in apology.

Compared to Tang Qiwen, Fang Luxue's attitude in admitting her mistakes was much better.

Wan Qiqi observed all of the Tang family's exchanges and communications, but she said nothing.
