Qi Jiating, emboldened by alcohol, arrived at Xu Ruyun's new residence.
He banged on the door, drunkenly shouting, "Ruyun, open the door! Open the door!"
The servants, seeing that it was Qi Jiating, hurriedly announced the news.
Xu Ruyun: "Who's making such a racket outside so late at night?"
Servant: "Madam, it's Master Qi who's here."
Xu Ruyun: "What is he doing here?"
Servant: "Master Qi seems to have drunk too much. He's outside crying, saying he was wrong, and that he misses his wife, young master, and young lady."
Xu Ruyun sneered: "Hmph! The person who wanted to harm my parents says he's wrong, how can I believe him? I'm being lenient by not confronting him!"
Qi Jiating continued banging on the door and calling out, "Ruyun, Ruyun, open the door! I miss you! Open the door and let me see you!"
Xu Ruyun: "Get him out of here—"
servant: "Yes!"
As the servant turned to leave, Xu Ruyun called him back.
Xu Ruyun: "Wait!"
Servant: "What are your orders, Madam?"
Xu Ruyun: "It must be that Master Qi is feeling lonely and upset because of his current wife. Let's find him a gentle woman to go with him, so that others won't say that we've neglected Master Qi."
servant: "Yes!"
Qi Jiating knocked on the door, crying, but the door remained unmoved.
Qi Jiating's knocking grew weaker and weaker; he had drunk too much and was slowly falling asleep.
Suddenly, the door was opened.
A songstress dressed in Xu Ruyun's clothes arrived gracefully.
Qi Jiating grabbed the songstress's skirt.
"Ruyun, I know you can't bear to abandon me. I know you'll definitely come looking for me!"
The songstress helped Qi Jiating up: "Master, it's chilly at night, let's find somewhere else to talk."
Qi Jia obediently followed the songstress and arrived at an inn.
Qi Jia, drunk, looked at the songstress and said, "Ruyun, have you missed me too? Did you bring me here because you felt it wasn't convenient to see me at home?"
The songstress simply smiled and helped Qi Jiating into the room.
As soon as the door closed, Qi Jiating hurriedly embraced the songstress.
"Ruyun, I miss you so much!"
Xu Ruyun sipped her tea, listening calmly to the servant's report.
Servant: "I saw with my own eyes that Master Qi and the courtesan went into the room and then turned off the lights."
Xu Ruyun: "Well done! Send someone to tell Xiao Zhenzhen that Master Qi has had too much to drink and is resting at which inn, so that she can go and pick him up in person."
servant: "Yes!"
Xu Ruyun took a sip of tea: "It's time to see you reap what you sow!"
The servants went to inform Xiao Zhenzhen as instructed by Xu Ruyun.
Xiao Zhenzhen was heartbroken, but when she heard someone say that Qi Jiating wanted her to pick him up personally, her heart was filled with joy again.
I knew my cousin cared about me.
Is the reason you're having me pick you up personally at this time a surprise you're planning for me?
There were no surprises, but plenty of astonishments.
When Xiao Zhenzhen pushed open the door to the inn's private room, she was stunned by what she saw.
On the bed, her dear cousin was with a delicate woman.
Qi Jiating's sleeping face was full of smiles.
Xiao Zhenzhen hadn't seen that smile in a long time.
Xiao Zhenzhen ran over in a heart-wrenching rage and dragged the woman off the bed.
"Who gave you permission to be here! This is my man! You—"
Xiao Zhenzhen cursed and raised her hand to hit the woman on the bed.
Her hand, which was about to fall, was firmly grasped by a large hand.
The songstress didn't let Qi Jiating see her face, and fled in panic, clutching her clothes.
Xiao Zhenzhen looked at Qi Jiating angrily and said, "Do you know what you've done?"
Qi Jiating: "Yes! I made the mistake that most men make. But isn't that how easy it is for us to get together?"
Xiao Zhenzhen slapped Qi Jiating hard across the face: "You shameless bastard!"
Qi Jiating touched his slapped face, smiled shamelessly, and said, "You're the shameless one, aren't you? You knew I had a family, yet you still bore me a son and a daughter. Isn't what happened today exactly what you were doing before? What right do you have to criticize others?"
Xiao Zhenzhen was so angry that she trembled all over: "You, you, you are shameless!"
Qi Jiating straightened his clothes and said, "Say what you will. But what can you do to me?"
Xiao Zhenzhen was so angry she almost fainted.
The servants watched the commotion at the door and recounted the scene to Xu Ruyun in detail.
Xu Ruyun kept laughing: "Good! I wanted to see them end up like this! It's satisfying! It's so satisfying! It's so frustrating not to get revenge! Today I've had my moment of satisfaction!"
Xiao Zhenzhen and Qi Jiating were having a huge fight at the inn.
Xiao Zhenzhen cursed loudly in the inn, then cried and hit Qi Jiating while cursing him for being heartless.
Many people were drawn over by Xiao Zhenzhen's noise.
The servants sent by Xu Ruyun embellished the story and recounted the events inside.
Servant: "You don't know, do you? The people making a fuss inside are Qi Jiating and his newly appointed mistress."
"Qi Jiating, mistress? Is that the Qi family that caused such a stir a while ago?"
Servant: "Isn't that right? Back then, Master Qi divorced his first wife and drove away his four children in order to please this mistress."
"They're heartless. What are they still making a scene for? That mistress should be satisfied by now."
The servant said, "This morning I saw a disheveled woman run out of Master Qi's room, and then his mistress came running over. Now look what's happened."
Onlookers: "Are you saying that Master Qi is cheating on his mistress?"
