Snap--
The crisp sound of slapping echoed throughout the store.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in amazement.
There was only a bright red mark of five fingers on Qi He's fat face.
But the palm print was small, and it was obvious that it was not made by an adult.
Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Yuexi and her daughter.
But Shen Yuexi was holding Qi He's wrist, her eyes wide open, looking at the darling in her arms in surprise.
Liang Yuyu's little hands opened and closed, her fingers kept grabbing, her big eyes stared at Qi He, her little mouth pouted a little, and her pink and tender neck rose and fell slightly due to her rapid breathing.
[You still want to hit my mother? Dream on!]
Liang Yuyu twitched her nose and made a face at Qi He, then turned around and hugged Shen Yuexi's neck, burying her face in the crook of Shen Yuexi's neck.
Her eyes flickered, and she saw that everyone behind her was looking at her in shock.
After a few seconds of silence, Liang Yuyu burst into tears and kept burrowing into Shen Yuexi's arms.
[Mother, I’m scared~]
Liang Yuyu's shout completely woke up the crowd who were watching the excitement.
Someone angrily scolded Qi He: "Madam, what are you doing? Do you want to hit someone?"
"That's right. This isn't your Zhenguo Mansion. It's not a place where you can act wild as you please."
Qi He, with bright red fingerprints on his face, angrily pointed at Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu: "Are you blind? Who hit who?"
Now everyone didn't care about that anymore and started a war of words against Qi He.
How could Qi He speak louder than so many mouths?
She was furious and annoyed. In a rage, she even picked up a broom and pointed it at everyone, cursing: "All of you shut up, it's not your turn to say what I do."
Qi He was so aggressive that everyone around her stumbled back a few steps and kept their distance from her.
Shen Yuexi's eyes suddenly darkened. She stared at Qi He with a cold expression and shouted in a deep voice, "Someone! Get this crazy woman out!"
The Liang family's servants poured in from outside, each holding various things in their hands and glaring at Qi He angrily.
However, Qi He's identity was special after all, and everyone didn't dare to hurt her seriously. They could only confront her with things in their hands, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"Who's causing trouble here?"
A sharp voice came from outside.
Everyone turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
The corner of the bright yellow robe flashed across the ground, and the pearls and jade on the head sparkled brightly in the sunlight.
The queen had her hands in front of her, with a senior palace maid by her side and a long team following behind her.
The crowd automatically dispersed to make way for the queen.
The queen walked forward indifferently and stood in front of Qi He.
She raised her eyelids slightly, and her sharp gaze swept over Qi He's body. Then she turned her head away, leaving only Qi He's profile.
The Queen sneered indifferently: "Who was this woman I thought it was? It turns out to be the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo."
In recent years, Concubine Qi has been competing with the Queen in the palace, and the people in the Qi family are more arrogant than each other outside the palace.
According to the rules, someone of Qi He's status would have to go to the Empress first before entering the palace to meet the emperor. Only after receiving the Empress's permission could he go to see other people in the palace.
But over the years, every time Qi He entered the palace, he would go to see Concubine Qi first. After talking with Concubine Qi, he would always arrive at the Queen's Palace late, almost at dusk.
Most of the time, they would just casually greet each other and leave quickly with a reason.
The Queen had long been dissatisfied with Qi He.
She finally got the chance, but there was no smile on her face.
"Today is the grand opening of Madam Liang's Rouge Pavilion, and we have invited guests from all the prominent and prestigious families in the capital."
"The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is throwing a tantrum here like a shrew. Is this the rule of your Qi family?"
When everyone saw that the queen was speaking to Shen Yuexi, they became even more excited.
"That's right. After all, you come from a respectable family. It's so disgraceful to tell others about it."
"Maybe it's because the Qi family fell and the Duke of Zhenguo didn't treat her well, so she went out like a madman and bit people randomly."
Everyone was talking at once, and Qi He was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head.
She frowned, her eyes were cold, and she looked around at everyone with cold eyes, and finally her gaze fell on the queen.
"Mrs. Liang is so generous that she even invited the Empress. The Empress is very happy and looks much better than usual."
Without the queen saying anything, the head palace maid stepped forward and slapped Qi He in the face.
As a result, there was Liang Yuyu's small paw print on Qi He's right cheek, and the palm print of the senior palace maid on his left cheek.
Qi He suddenly went crazy, waving his hands in the air, waving his hands as if to grab the face of the palace maid.
The senior palace maid grabbed Qi He's wrist and pushed her away.
Qi He's fat body suddenly staggered back a few steps, and her knees hit the corner of the wall behind her. The pain made her grimace in pain.
The head maid's eyes curled up, her eyebrows were cold, and she glanced at Qi He with disgust: "Madam, you are also a woman from a wealthy family. Can you say such sarcastic words just now to the Empress?"
Qi He covered her face and glared at the head maid, but she was shouting at the queen: "Your Majesty, are you just going to watch this?"
The head maid sneered, looking at Qi He with disdain: "Madam, today I am here to teach you a lesson. Even if you make a scene before the Emperor, it is my own fault, not the Empress's."
The head maid looked calm as she glanced around at everyone and whispered, "I, your servant, would also like to ask you to bear witness. Today's incident has nothing to do with the Empress. If anyone wants to use today's incident to frame the Empress, they must have ulterior motives and are eager to cause unrest in the harem."
After she finished speaking, the senior palace maid's meaningful gaze slowly fell on Qi He's face.
She raised the corner of her lips and said indifferently: "If the Duke's wife wants to complain, go ahead. I will wait for you."
Qi He was so angry that veins popped out of his temples and the corners of his mouth kept twitching. However, he had no other options but to point his hand at the nose of the senior palace maid: "You, you, you..."
She couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, which made her look more like a clown.
The Queen glanced at Qi He from the corner of her eye and scolded him in a deep voice, "Why aren't you leaving yet? What are you doing staying here?"
Qi He turned around and left with a cold look on his face.
"etc."
Shen Yuexi ordered Liu Qiu to pack up all the bottles and jars scattered on the ground.
She personally carried it and handed it to Qi He: "Madam, you are the one who damaged these things. You should compensate for the damage according to the price. Do you think I should send these things to the Duke's Mansion, or should you take them back yourself?"
Qi He glanced at the queen, snatched the things from Shen Yuexi's hand, threw down two ingots of silver, and fled from Yanzhi Pavilion in shame.
