These words left Qianwan Jin speechless! His face turned red with embarrassment, and he didn't know how to refute them. After all, he was the one who caused the man to be hunted down, and he really hated him!
But can you really say something like that?! No!!
In the end, he could only force a smile, wishing he hadn't come out today! Wouldn't it have been better to let someone else come and drive up the price? Now look what happened, he's lost both his wife and his money! Eight thousand taels!
Qin Qing couldn't hold back any longer and directly tugged at Qian Baiwan.
"Shall we go see her first?"
A single sentence quickly drew the attention of several people. After all, who would dare to interrupt when the two young masters of the richest family in the capital of Qi were speaking!
Qianwan Jin also frowned and looked at Qin Qing. What kind of woman is this, so ignorant!
The next second, that mature, charming, pure, and gentle face came into his view, and even a multi-millionaire who had seen many beauties couldn't help but be stunned...
The woman before him was dressed in ordinary coarse linen clothes. She had a beautiful face, gentle eyes, fair skin, a curvaceous figure, slightly red lips, and eyes full of spring. One couldn't help but feel a flutter in one's heart.
She wasn't exactly a stunning beauty, but her pure and gentle temperament was captivating. The anxiety in her eyes added to her delicate and fragile beauty, making her incredibly endearing.
Qian Baiwan was about to respond when he noticed Qian Wanjin's gaze and instinctively blocked Qin Qing's path.
"You go with the madam first, I'll be right behind you."
Qin Qing nodded; she wasn't interested in their love-hate relationship anyway.
Immediately afterward, Qin Qing pulled the madam inside. The madam turned around, dumbfounded, to see how Qian Baiwan had so shamelessly rendered her boss speechless with just a few words, ultimately resulting in someone being taken away...
She was speechless with frustration and began to doubt her future path with the old man. Should she... retire early and return to her hometown?
Soon after, Qin Qing anxiously followed the madam backstage and finally saw the thin figure in a corner. The woman had her eyes downcast, the bruises on her lips were very glaring, and the twisted and strange shape of her ankles made Qin Qing's heart ache!
She lifted her foot, feeling an immense heaviness throughout her body, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears. She walked step by step toward the woman.
Perhaps hearing footsteps, the woman flinched slightly, her trembling shoulders looking utterly pathetic. As she curled up, she inadvertently revealed her arm, where clear purple marks were a shocking sight. Her once flawless white skin had completely lost all its beauty, only inspiring terror…
"Thud..."
Tears streamed down Qin Qing's cheeks. He couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the bruises on the woman's arm. The woman was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, her face turned pale, and she bit her lip hard, as if waiting for the pain to come.
The sight of someone so used to being beaten, so used to pain and torment, finally brought tears to Qin Qing's eyes! Her voice trembled with suppressed emotion.
"Daughter-in-law... Zhang He!"
The call made the woman on the ground tremble, but she kept her eyes tightly closed, tears welling up in her eyes, but she dared not make a sound.
Suppressing her grief, Qin Qing reached out and gently embraced the woman's frail body. Feeling her trembling slightly, she felt a pang of heartache and didn't know what to do. She could only whisper to herself.
"My child, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
The familiar tone finally elicited a slight reaction from Zhang He, and the familiar scent made her abruptly open her eyes, her gaze somewhat dazed as she felt the heartache of the person before her…
After a long pause, a hoarse, dry voice came cautiously and hesitantly.
"mother…"
Upon hearing the voice, Qin Qing excitedly raised her head, looking at the haggard and thin woman in front of her with heartache. At this moment, all the words in her heart turned into tears of emotion.
Zhang He stared blankly at Qin Qing's face, her pale and weak face covered in tears, her teeth biting her lip so hard that blood slowly seeped out. Then, she subconsciously reached out and tightly gripped Qin Qing's sleeve, her eyes filled with grievance and fear, and she let out sobs.
"Mother...Mother...Waaah..."
These cries made Qin Qing hate her own powerlessness even more, and her heart was clenched tightly! What could she have gone through to make this simple and gentle woman show such a heartbreaking expression?
The next second, a woman's heart-wrenching sobs echoed throughout the backstage area, causing everyone outside to frown and feel extremely depressed...
Upon hearing the sound, Qianbaiwan subconsciously frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. Why was he crying so bitterly? Had something happened?
At this moment, Qin Qing helped a figure emerge from backstage. A thick blanket completely covered the woman beside her, leaving no room for airflow! Her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked at Qian Baiwan with cold composure, her tone carrying a hint of suppressed anger…
"Could you help me find a carriage? We need to leave this place now!"
Qianbai was silent for a moment. He knew that it was no use saying anything now, and it would be best to let them leave first.
"Someone, prepare the carriage!"
As Qin Qing helped Zhang He to leave, she turned her head slightly as she passed by Qian Wanjin. His fat and ugly face was instantly etched into her mind, and she thought fiercely that one day she would repay Zhang He for the humiliation she had suffered tenfold!
Qian Jin noticed that the charming woman was looking at him, and his heart started racing. Seeing the beauty staring at him, he felt a surge of lust rising up, and his cheeks instantly felt hot.
He couldn't help but stare at Qin Qing, mesmerized. He'd never experienced anything like it before. The woman before him clearly looked older, yet every smile and gesture captivated him! In that instant, he felt a surge of youthful longing, a feeling he'd never experienced before! His gaze burned even brighter…
He was determined to have this woman!
Qin Qing didn't pay much attention to that. After giving Qian Wanjin and the madam a fierce glare, she helped Zhang He and quickly left.
Upon witnessing this scene, Qian Baiwan's right eyelid twitched suddenly, as if he had realized something, and his entire face darkened! Especially Qian Wanjin's gaze made him feel extremely uncomfortable!
His eyes gradually darkened, and he secretly wondered whether he should send his brother to some remote mountain village... His eyes were fixed on Qian Wanjin.
Inside the carriage, Qin Qing didn't care what had happened inside the Flower Pavilion. She just held Zhang He's hand tightly, feeling sorry for her. Without waiting for Qian Baiwan to come out, she drove away.
After Qianbaiwan came out, looking at the bustling street, he sighed helplessly...
Qin Qing drove the carriage straight to the clothing store, bought a simple white dress, and quickly drove to the inn. When she got off the carriage, she didn't care about the strange looks from the people around her, and held Zhang He's hand tightly with her left hand.
"Waiter, prepare bath water for Room Number One, the highest-class room!"
