Xie Jingrun saw her red and swollen lips, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
After a moment, he finally took pity on you and said, "Don't eat it, or you'll die from the spiciness and I'll have to collect your corpse."
Rong Qingqing immediately put down her chopsticks, her face showing gratitude, "Thank you for your consideration, Lord Marquis." But in her heart, she thought, "Damn it, I thank your whole family."
Emperor Zhaojing could eat spicy food, but the imperial kitchen would not prepare such spicy food in the palace. All three meals a day were based on health preservation.
So when he finally got to eat this spicy food that suited his taste, he ate it with gusto, completely unaware of the lawsuit between Xie Jingrun and Rong Qingqing right under his nose.
After eating boiled live fish, Emperor Zhaojing found all other dishes tasteless.
Having eaten so many delicacies on a regular basis, Emperor Zhaojing found it incredibly satisfying to occasionally enjoy dishes like this.
He put down his chopsticks and said happily, "It was worth coming out today to have fun, I actually came across such a novel dish."
Rong Qingqing was sitting to the side drinking water when she heard this. Her lips twitched. Emperor Zhaojing was clearly a glutton.
"Hey, what happened to your mouth? Did you eat some chili peppers?" Emperor Zhaojing noticed Rong Qingqing's unusual behavior and asked with concern.
"I am deeply grateful for the kindness of our Marquis, who has bestowed all the chili peppers upon me." Rong Qingqing inwardly shed a tear of bitterness, truly hating Xie Jingrun.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaojing was startled and looked at Xie Jingrun, who was sitting there eating as if nothing had happened. He swallowed hard.
This kid really doesn't discriminate between men and women when it comes to playing pranks.
How will he find a wife in the future? Who would be willing to marry him?
Emperor Zhaojing was troubled again.
Rong Qingqing took the opportunity to get up and say goodbye.
Fortunately, this time, Emperor Zhaojing's attention was focused on Xie Jingrun, and he did not keep her any longer.
When Manager Xu saw her come down from the private room upstairs, he was all smiles. He was about to report on the day's business when he noticed the unusual look on her mouth and asked with concern, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'll leave things in the building to Uncle Xu. I have to go back now." Rong Qingqing didn't want to talk about what had just happened and said casually.
"Alright, Miss, you must be tired after a long day. Go back and rest." Manager Xu escorted her to the door.
Rong Qingqing had just returned to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence when she ran into Xie Jingyi, who was returning from outside.
When Xie Jingyi saw her, her face immediately darkened, and she said sarcastically, "I heard you stole Yiyi's things? Rong Qingqing, you are truly despicable!"
Rong Qingqing paused as she was about to step across the threshold, then suddenly turned around and slapped her.
Being suppressed by Xie Jingrun is bad enough, but there's no reason why I should be humiliated by someone like Xie Jingyi when I get home.
Xie Jingyi stared at her in disbelief, "Rong Qingqing, how dare you hit me?"
"So what if I hit you? It's not the first time! Who told you to be so brainless and never improve?" Rong Qingqing shook her hand, as if she had hit too hard, her palm was still burning. "If you can't control your mouth, you deserve to be hit."
Xie Jingyi was furious. "Rong Qingqing, I'll fight you to the death!"
Rong Qingqing dodged her scratches and ordered the guards at the gate, "Quickly, the Third Miss is having an epileptic seizure. Grab her quickly to prevent her from biting herself."
The gatekeeper broke out in a cold sweat, but dared not delay, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Xie Jingyi back.
Xie Jingyi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and roared, "You bastards, you even dare to arrest me..."
The servants remained unmoved. In the past, they would have been wary of her, but now the Marquis was in charge and the old lady was in charge of the household, so they no longer needed to fear her.
