Chapter 560: The Feud Between Two Families
“There are so many kinds of tea in the world. White tea is beautiful but lacks substance, while black tea has experienced too much and tastes bitter.”
Hu Xin'er looked at Zhou Qingyan steadily: "Only someone like you who has experienced pain that ordinary people have never experienced, yet is still as beautiful as ever, can be called a green tea."
She looked at the medicine in her arms and sighed, "It's a pity that this medicine is my mother's life-saving medicine and cannot be given to Miss Zhou. Otherwise, even though we came here first, we would still be willing to give this medicine to Miss Zhou to relieve the pain of your stubborn illness."
Just a few words forced the balance in everyone's heart to stand right.
Hu Xiner looked at the shocked eyes of the crowd and secretly made a V sign in her heart.
Only Miss Du couldn't help but twitch her mouth when she heard that she was willing to give her medicinal herbs to Zhou Qingyan.
She unsheathed her sword with a clang, "I really can't stand this! Zhou Qingyan, you're shameless all the time, but now you're even trying to steal someone's mother's life-saving medicine?"
Zhou Chenghe immediately flashed in front of Zhou Qingyan, and everyone spontaneously surrounded Zhou Qingyan.
At the same time, they glared at Miss Du: "What do you want to do? Put down the sword."
"Don't even think about slandering Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou is not that kind of person."
There was also someone who took the opportunity to express his love to Miss Zhou: "Miss, don't worry. When I get out, I will definitely search for medicinal herbs for you and prevent you from suffering from your stubborn illness..."
Zhou Qingyan coughed a few times charmingly, "Since this sister needs it urgently, Qingyan doesn't need to force it. Senior Brother Zhou, cough cough, quickly get everyone out of the way."
Before leaving, she hesitated to say, "Sister Du, today was all a misunderstanding. Next time we..."
"Junior sister, I know you're usually lonely in your room, but what are you talking about with someone like her?" Zhou Chenghe said with a distressed look on his face. "Let's go quickly. Don't you remember how she slandered you a few times before?"
Someone else whispered in the back, "Miss Zhou is only allowed to go out on the day of the Miraculous Medicine Conference, but she's always slandered after it's over. Who else could it be if not Miss Du?"
"Hey! Miss Du is such a pitiful person. She can't get married at such an old age. Tsk tsk... I guess she must have become mentally perverted a long time ago, right?"
Miss Du stood there with a dark face, and suddenly slashed at the cave with a knife, scaring the people around her to dodge.
None of them dared to go against Miss Du and they scattered. Some who admired Miss Zhou followed her, while those who were just there to watch the fun went to chat with others.
After the crowd dispersed, Hu Xiner took just two steps when she found Miss Du walking at the front of the team with a dark face and striding, unwilling to pay any more attention to them.
Hu Lao San also came today. They were at the back of the team, protecting the Lu family, under Miss Du's orders. Seeing this, he couldn't help but whisper to Hu Xin'er, "Although Madam Lu's move just now was clever, it really offended our young lady."
Hu Xin'er smiled apologetically, "I just acted in a hurry. They are outnumbered and I don't want you to get into a conflict with them just for me."
Seeing no one was paying attention, Hu Laosan raised his finger, hushed softly beside the bed, and continued in a voice transmission, "Mrs. Lu, you don't know, but my young lady has always been at odds with Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou is a white face with a black heart..."
Originally, Miss Du's reputation in Qingzhou City was not that bad. Her family was just holding a martial arts competition to find a husband. If she met a man she liked, she would step forward and express her love generously, and there would be no inappropriate behavior.
However, ever since she bumped into Miss Zhou at a rare medicine conference, Miss Zhou has been following Miss Du around, calling her "sister."
After the meeting, rumors spread that were unfavorable to Miss Zhou. Everyone said that it was done by Miss Du, but when the Du family investigated, they found out that it was actually someone sent by the Zhou family!
"The Zhou family doesn't have a good reputation in Qingzhou City. Our Du family originally thought that the matter would be resolved after the announcement of this news, but we didn't expect..." Hu Laosan was a straightforward man. He couldn't stand the Zhou family's mean behavior and couldn't help complaining as he spoke.
Unexpectedly, although the Zhou family had a bad reputation, Miss Zhou was actually a master at manipulating people's hearts. She appeared charmingly twice, and the situation was completely reversed. No one believed what the Du family said.
From then on, Miss Du went from being the Du family's tiger daughter to a "lecher" that men in Qingzhou City avoided!
Miss Du has not been able to get married until now, and a big part of the reason is Miss Zhou's mischief.
At first, Miss Du was so angry that she wanted to fight with her, but in the end she suffered the consequences and her reputation became worse and worse.
"No wonder Miss Du looked like she could only endure the bullying when facing Miss Zhou just now, which is completely different from her usual smart appearance." Hu Xiner couldn't help but think secretly in her heart after hearing this story.
In fact, Miss Du is not that bad.
Although she always pestered Lu Yunjue, she stopped after being clearly rejected yesterday.
Moreover, at the Miraculous Medicine Conference today, he did not pester the Lu family as they had imagined. Instead, he seemed to be... protective?
Although one of the reasons was that Miss Du was patrolling the Wonderful Medicine Conference to maintain order and act as a guard, the fact that they were able to follow Miss Du was itself a deterrent to those with bad intentions.
Moreover, Miss Du also kindly pointed out the location of the medicinal herbs to them.
Hu Xiner felt that no matter what, she should go up and say thank you, and explain what she had just done.
She took a few steps forward and smiled at Miss Du, "Thank you so much, Miss Du, for helping us out just now."
Miss Du usually put on a fake smile, but now she was too lazy to even put on a front. With a stern face, she said, "Why are you thanking me? Shouldn't you be thanking yourself for your clever words, for convincing Miss Zhou, who's like a living bodhisattva, to give you all that life-saving medicine?"
She usually looks scheming, but now she reveals her true nature, which makes her look cute.
Hu Xin'er wasn't angry at all. Instead, she pursed her lips and smiled. "What are you talking about, Miss Du? It's obvious that Miss Zhou wanted to intercept us halfway, so she sent Zhou Chenghe as the vanguard to be the bad guy. I still have some foresight."
"Since you know everything, why do you still want to build momentum for her in front of everyone? It makes me..." Miss Du couldn't help but want to vent her resentment, but she felt it was inappropriate because it made her look embarrassed.
She bit her lip and stopped talking: "Forget it, even if you guys weren't here, I would still be the one being splashed with dirty water."
Hu Xiner explained, "They were so numerous and powerful just now. I was worried that they might hurt you, so I chose to resolve the situation in a tactful way."
Miss Du was still unhappy.
