Just because she is your sweetheart, I should apologize?
As Su Qingli spoke, she turned the topic to Li Que and Gu Jiuxiao. She seemed to be hesitant to speak and did not finish the rest of her words, leaving more room for speculation.
These two were well-known romantic figures in the capital, often frequenting brothels and were regular customers of Zuixianlou, the largest brothel in the capital.
Liu Meishuang had a very pleasant conversation with them, which inevitably aroused people's imagination.
"Miss Su, what do you mean?" Liu Meishuang felt the strange looks from the people around her, and she knew that there was something else in Su Qingli's words, although she didn't say it explicitly.
Fu Xuechen strode over and asked with a frown, "What's going on?"
Liu Meishuang's eyes were misty with tears. She grabbed Fu Xuechen's arm and cried, "Xuechen, this Miss Su not only deliberately wet the clothes you sent someone to order for me, but also tried to slander me and those two young masters. I just said a few more words to those two young masters, and she made malicious assumptions about me."
"Don't be sad, I'll ask her to apologize to you right away."
Fu Xuechen stretched out his long arms and put them around Su Qingli, demanding that Su Qingli apologize immediately.
"I didn't say anything wrong. Why does the Prime Minister want me to apologize? Just because Miss Liu is the one the Prime Minister likes, I must apologize?" Su Qingli couldn't help but sneer, turned around and left.
"Xuechen, look at her attitude. You are the Prime Minister's master, but she doesn't even listen to you. Order someone to capture Su Qingli and punish her severely to prevent others from following suit."
Liu Meishuang was so angry that she was fuming. Su Qingli actually dared to ignore her existence and even disobey Fu Xuechen's words. It was simply outrageous!
Li Que took the opportunity to jump out and echo, fanning the flames, "Master Prime Minister, Miss Su is so bold that she hit you in the face in public. If you don't arrest her and beat her up, I'm afraid she will become lawless in the future."
"Brother Li is right. The Prime Minister should not be lenient with this kind of woman who commits crimes against her superiors and has no respect for hierarchy." Gu Jiuxiao also agreed in a servile manner.
The rest of the people also began to attack Su Qingli, and urged Fu Xuechen to severely punish Su Qingli.
Fu Xuechen, however, lectured the people present with a cold face, "It is not your turn to dictate the affairs of my Prime Minister's Mansion. If anyone dares to say anything more about how I should do things, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent and no one dared to say a word. It was the first time they saw Fu Xuechen get so angry and act so arrogantly.
Then, Fu Xuechen dismissed the guests loudly, "Today's banquet has changed its nature. Let's end it like this. Everyone, please go back. I'm sorry you won't stay any longer."
Liu Meishuang was shocked. Why would Fu Xuechen be so mean to everyone just for Su Qingli?
This was a welcome party held for her, but it ended in such a mess that she couldn't get out of the situation and it ended abruptly.
She gritted her teeth and endured it. After everyone left, she couldn't help but question Fu Xuechen. Anger and grievance were intertwined in her almond-shaped eyes. "Xuechen, you brought me to the Prime Minister's residence, yet you tolerated a maid humiliating me like this. Where do you put me? Who am I?"
Fu Xuechen looked indifferent and spoke in a cold tone, "If I hadn't promised my uncle and aunt to take good care of you, how could I have let you stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion? What you did today really disappointed me."
If it weren't for Liu's father and mother who raised him and saved him from almost starving to death, he would never have let Liu Meishuang set foot in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Liu Meishuang took a few steps back in disbelief, opened her mouth, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Xuechen, how can you be so heartless?"
Fu Xuechen raised his brows, his icy face becoming even colder. "Heartless? Liu Meishuang, listen to me carefully. You are just a tool. If you are unhappy, you can leave my Prime Minister's Mansion. If you dare to hurt Su Qingli, I will definitely not let you off easily. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Liu Meishuang stared at Su Qingli with a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes, and tears flowed like a spring. She had not expected that Fu Xuechen would be so outspoken and protect Su Qingli wholeheartedly.
Not only did he scold the guests who came, he also threatened her mercilessly, even though they grew up together!
"Xuechen, you are willing to drive me away for her. Have you forgotten the friendship we had when we were young?" Liu Meishuang was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She had never seen Fu Xuechen lose his composure like this.
"I have never had the slightest romantic feeling towards you. Please don't be so sentimental. There is absolutely no way I could possibly be attracted to you."
Fu Xuechen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at Liu Meishuang and told her frankly.
The reason he did all this was simply to make Su Qingli jealous.
After saying this, he turned around and walked hurriedly out the door. The rain was falling as densely as needles. Looking from afar, the distant mountains were dark blue, and the surroundings were covered with clouds and mist. The gray sky enveloped the world.
Liu Meishuang stood in the banquet hall with a lost look on her face, staring at the sky-blue figure disappearing into the distance.
The banquet hall, which had been bustling before, was now silent, with only the sound of servants clearing away dishes from the table and the ups and downs of disordered footsteps moving through the hall.
Soon, Liu Meishuang came to her senses and put all the blame on Su Qingli. If Su Qingli had not existed, perhaps Fu Xuechen would not have changed his mind and ignored her feelings.
In the corridor outside the vermilion gate of the imperial palace, Qian Jue lowered his head and followed quietly behind the silent Fu Xuechen.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I deserve to die. I am a step too late. Let General Xie settle the matter first." Qian Jue reported in a low voice.
"That old bastard Su Huaihai was extremely greedy when he was an official. Now that he's out of office, he's abandoned himself and abandoned himself to gambling in a casino even though he's broke!"
Fu Xuechen was full of contempt when he talked about his decadent father-in-law. When he was a son-in-law in the marquis's mansion, he was often treated with contempt and command by Su Huaihai.
He knew all about the corrupt activities of Su Huaihai. He had been hiding and enduring for two years under the control of this court parasite who relied on his luck to call the shots.
"What a disgrace! Qian Jue, go inform all the major gambling houses in the capital and strictly forbid Su Huaihai from entering. If anyone disobeys, their gambling license will be revoked."
Fu Xuechen spoke in a dignified tone, expressing his regret that Xie Linyuan would not have been so attentive if Su Huaihai had not been idle and gambling.
"As you command."
For a while, none of the major gambling houses in the capital dared to let Su Huaihai in.
"I'm a regular gambler at your gambling house where you make your fortune. Will you still let me in? I have some money today."
Su Huaihai shook his purse proudly, inside of which was the silver he had asked Xie Linyuan for.
"Get away! This little gambling money is not enough to fill our teeth. Don't come to our gambling house again." The clerk of the gambling house stopped Su Huaihai from entering. Behind him were two burly men who were eight feet tall.
