Provocation
"You are not welcome here. Don't interfere with my business." Liu Zai Xi issued an expulsion order and suppressed them with her status as a princess.
However, Liu Pan'er is a person who doesn't use her brain. Her mind is full of the fact that Liu Zai Xi lives a better life than her. When the identity of princess is mentioned, she feels that Liu Zai Xi is not worthy of it.
"How dare you mention the princess to me, you shameless man!" Liu Pan'er raised her hand, intending to slap Liu Zaixi.
When his arm stretched out into the air and was about to fall on Liu Zaixi's face, it was stopped by a hand and could not move.
Qiu Wuji squinted coldly, and the aura around him became different from before, full of hostility. The strength in his hands tightened, and gradually the strength became strong enough to crush the bones of the hand. Liu Paner screamed in pain, but Liu Zaixi did not intend to stop him. Just crush it, what does it have to do with her.
Seeing that things were going badly, Liu Shuang hurried forward and tried to get Qiu Wuji to let go. However, just as he took a step, a sword with a cold glow was placed across his neck. Han Yi stopped him and prevented him from taking even half a step forward.
Until she heard the sound of bones breaking, Liu Paner screamed and was thrown to the ground, and her right hand immediately became unable to move.
Liu Pan'er was about to curse, but when she saw Qiu Wuji's face, she couldn't say anything.
Liu Shuang helped Liu Pan'er up and asked, "Who are you?"
Han Yi kicked each of them in the back of the knee, and they immediately fell to their knees. "How dare you disrespect Prince Heng and the Princess?"
King Heng? Upon hearing Qiu Wuji's identity, their eyes lit up, and they began to dream of soaring to the heights of power and becoming phoenixes. Unfortunately, in Qiu Wuji's eyes, they were now even lower than dust.
"So it's His Royal Highness Prince Heng. I was blind." Liu Pan'er spoke first, trying to leave an impression on Qiu Wuji.
Qiu Wuji embraced Liu Zai Xi and protected her in his arms. At this time, Liu Mubai was hurriedly called out by Xiao Zhu.
"You are indeed blind, daring to insult my princess."
Liu Shuang didn't know how much Qiu Wuji had heard, so she immediately made up for it: "Your Highness doesn't know, we are the princess's eldest and second sisters, and we just wanted to catch up with the younger sister."
To seek justice for Liu Zaixi, Xiao Zhu confronted the two sisters for the first time: "You're talking nonsense! I heard you speak rudely to the princess and insult her with my own ears!"
Liu Mubai's eyes turned fierce, and he wanted to draw his sword, stabbing him to death would be considered light. Liu Zaixi hurriedly grabbed Liu Mubai's hand: "It's okay, Xiaobai, you and Xiaozhu go help, the kitchen is very busy."
Liu Mubai was angry, but he had to listen to Liu Zaixi. Since Qiu Wuji was there, she would not be hurt again, otherwise he would have killed them all.
Qiu Wuji suddenly felt Liu Zaixi trembling in his arms: "Is there something wrong?"
Liu Zaixi was shaking completely out of instinct, unable to control it at all. "It's okay."
It seemed like the two of them had chosen the wrong day, or they simply overestimated their own abilities, daring to act rashly in a place where Liu Zai Xi was making a profit.
Qiu Wuji may not have seen it, but the diners saw it clearly and heard it clearly.
Someone in the crowd immediately complained to Qiu Wuji: "Your Highness, we all heard it. These two beasts scolded the princess so harshly!"
Everyone present was there to eat, which was equivalent to Liu Shuang and Liu Pan'er openly scolding the chef who cooked for them.
Once there is one, there will be two, and everyone will immediately become dissatisfied.
"Exactly, why are you scolding the princess?"
Even people who know nothing about it will respond out of curiosity.
“Get out!”
"Don't delay my meal."
Someone in the crowd was cursing at the two of them. They had never been cursed like that in their lives and could not bear it any longer. Liu Shuang helped Liu Pan'er up and ran out immediately.
Qiu Wuji was about to ask Hanyi to chase after him, but was stopped by Liu Zaixi.
"Okay, that's enough for today. I'll take care of those two from now on."
Qiu Wuji could only put the matter aside for the time being and helped Liu Zaixi back to the room to rest, his body still shaking.
Qiu Wuji gently placed Liu Zaixi on the bed without saying anything.
"Don't you want to ask me?"
Qiu Wuji spread out the quilt: "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."
"But you should have investigated me."
Qiu Wuji stopped.
Liu Zaixi patted Qiu Wuji's cheek and chuckled: "Why are you pretending? Do you really think that I only know how to cook?"
Grabbing that hand, Qiu Wuji sat beside the bed: "I'm afraid you'll be angry."
"Why are you so angry? Isn't this a basic operation?"
Liu Zai Xi didn’t think there was anything wrong. If she had that ability, she would also investigate Qiu Wuji.
The two of them might as well just speak frankly.
"I only got your basic information. I don't know everything else." Qiu Wuji said honestly.
"You know Liu Zaixi, not Liu Zaixi."
"How about giving me one?" Qiu Wuji said.
Liu Zaixi didn't understand: "Give you one of what?"
"A chance to get to know you."
“…”
"Okay, what are you here for?" Liu Zai Xi changed the subject.
"I came here because I missed you." This is also the truth.
Liu Zai Xi felt like he had been defeated by Qiu Wu Ji.
*
The two sisters returned home in a mess. Li Yanping felt extremely distressed when he saw them like this.
"Hey, Shuang'er and Pan'er, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see Liu Zaixi?"
Liu Pan'er immediately complained: "It's all Liu Zaixi's fault. She is now the Princess of Heng and has His Royal Highness Prince Heng's protection. We have nothing."
Liu Xu came out at this time and did not comfort the two: "You two idiots, you actually went up to curse Princess Heng directly, do you think your life is too long!"
Liu Pan'er still refused to accept the decision: "It was Concubine Hui who asked us to trip up Liu Zaixi."
"Empress Hui asked us to find an opportunity and come secretly. You guys, you really think you have power and influence."
The two of them fell silent, and Liu Pan'er could only complain, "Dad, my hand bones were crushed by King Heng."
"If it's broken, go fix it yourself. It's a good thing he didn't kill you."
After being humiliated, she was not comforted but scolded. Liu Pan'er was extremely emotional: "Why can she be the Princess of Heng?"
Liu Xu said calmly, "Your elder brother will help you two marry into good families."
Liu Shuang nodded, but Liu Pan'er was not so agreeable. She also wanted to become the Princess of Heng. A man as outstanding as the Prince of Heng should not be possessed by Liu Zaixi alone.
That's right, she wants to get King Heng and get rid of Liu Zaixi.
The two of them were just a small episode and did not affect Liu Zai Xi's business. On the contrary, because of their stupid behavior, more people came into the store out of curiosity.
I have to say that Qiu Wuji is a living signboard. When they heard that King Heng was in the store, many young girls crowded into the store. At first glance, they were all girls.
Liu Zaixi was sitting at the front desk, and Qiu Wuji was sitting beside him, staring at him.
Looking at the customers attracted by Qiu Wuji in the store, Liu Zaixi couldn't help but sigh: "You are really attractive. Good looks are indeed part of your strength."
"Is Xi'er jealous?"
"I don't like sour food."
Qiu Wuji entangled his fingers in Liu Zaixi's hair and leaned closer: "So, do you like this face?"
"I like it." Liu Zai Xi was counting the money and said it without thinking. After he finished speaking, he heard the laughter of the people next to him. Liu Zai Xi realized that he had been led into a ditch.
"Like my face doesn't mean you like me."
The corners of Liu Zaixi's mouth twitched, and finally turned into a stiff straight line. This person is becoming more and more shameless.
"By the way, can you do me a favor?"
Qiu Wuji's eyes lit up: "Xi'er, is there anything I can help you with?"
Looking up at the sky, Liu Zaixi thought for a moment: "Actually, it's not really you who's helping me, it's Han Yi."
Liu Zaixi's eyes were on Han Yi. Han Yi was suddenly lifted up, and especially when he saw Qiu Wuji's cold gaze following him, he trembled silently in his heart.
"Is it okay?" Liu Zai Xi blinked and sent out a ray of request. Qiu Wuji had no self-control towards Liu Zai Xi and agreed immediately.
"Of course, it's up to you to use it, right, Han Yi." Each word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Han Yi's fragile heart.
"Yes." Han Yi said with gritted teeth.
Liu Zaixi saw Qiu Wuji's threat and kicked him.
Qiu Wuji lay on the table and stopped talking.
"Han Yi, can you help me find out why the Liu family came to Beijing?"
"Of course, Princess."
"Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner later."
Han Yi was flattered, but was mainly afraid that Qiu Wuji would become jealous.
Qiu Wuji's handsome hands became restless. He placed his hand on Liu Zaixi's arm, slid down little by little, and his fingers wandered over Liu Zaixi's body. Finally, his palm covered Liu Zaixi's, and their fingers interlocked.
This scene was seen by Liu Mubai who had just come out. A dart flew over and Qiu Wuji easily caught it with his other hand, raising his eyebrows and smiling.
Liu Zai Xi noticed the movement and raised his eyes from the account book to look at Qiu Wuji and then at Liu Mubai.
At first, Liu Zai Xi didn't realize that Liu Mubai hated Qiu Wuji. Liu Mubai's emotions were originally indifferent, and he was good at hiding himself. It was difficult to take care of that heart without putting his whole body and mind into it.
It was only recently that she discovered that Liu Mubai really hated Qiu Wuji. When he swung his sword at her before, Liu Zaixi thought that Liu Mubai wanted to protect her. Now, the two of them are in a cooperative relationship. March has not yet arrived, but Liu Mubai has been more and more aggressive. She doesn't know why he is so hostile to Qiu Wuji, but Liu Zaixi thinks that they should have a good talk. It will not have a good impact if he just attacks in the store.
He threw the pen to Qiu Wuji: "Look at the account book."
"Xier trusts me so much." Liu Zai Xi ignored him and took Liu Mubai's hand and walked towards the backyard. Qiu Wuji looked at the two of them with a dark look in his eyes.
When they got to the backyard, Liu Zaixi held Liu Mubai's tense body and sat down.
"Okay, tell me why you hate Qiu Wuji."
Liu Mubai lowered his head to the ground, pretending not to hear. Liu Zaixi held his face in his hands and said, "Don't run away."
"You don't like him."
"Is that why?"
Liu Mubai was forced to look at Liu Zaixi, unable to dodge, and finally responded: "Yeah."
Liu Zai Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the problem was not serious. He just thought that she didn't like Qiu Wuji, so he hated Qiu Wuji in order to protect her.
That's what Liu Zaixi thinks.
