Chapter 206: Killing in the Brothel
Seeing the look of surprise on the Zhao family father and daughter's faces, Zhou Yue's face was even more proud. "I have laid out the conditions here. As long as the Zhao family's legitimate daughter is willing to marry, I will definitely allow Zhou Qi to take Zhao Sheng'er as a concubine."
"You're so reckless, a man half dead, plotting against a younger generation." Zhao Hu pressed his lips into a straight line, his brows brimming with anger. "Ah Cheng, follow Dad."
Su Cheng's eyes seemed to contain a knife as he glanced coldly at Zhou Yue without saying a word. He turned and left with Zhao Hu.
It was not until the two figures, one tall and one short, disappeared in the lobby that Zhou Yue bent his straight back. With trembling hands, he reached for the teacup beside him. In a moment of carelessness, the teacup slipped out of his hands and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
The tea splashed on the corner of his clothes, and Zhou Yue came back to his senses. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, with a dazed look on his face.
He had been in the court for decades, but now he was frightened by an unmarried girl.
"Where is the young master?"
-
Zhao Hu shook off the servants from the Shangshu Mansion and walked quickly, his whole body filled with anger. He kept muttering, his tone seemed to be at double speed, "From now on, if I set foot in the Zhou family again, I will be a dog! That old man wants to use you to exchange for Zhao Sheng'er, he's dreaming! The thing I hate most in my life is dealing with scholars, countless tricks..."
Su Cheng showed helplessness on his face, raised his lips and smiled, "The old man won't live for many years, why bother with him?"
"He deliberately disgusted us. If I don't avenge him, I will wake up from my dreams out of anger." Zhao Hu put his hands behind his back and strode forward. Suddenly, a light pink figure ran out from somewhere and bumped into Su Cheng.
"Miss, be careful." Manager Liu quickly grabbed Su Cheng's wrist to help her steady her body.
"Thank you, Manager Liu." Su Cheng turned around and thanked him. When he looked up again, a strong scent of cosmetics hit his face.
The girl in front of him looked good, but she was dressed too lightly. Even Zhao Hu and Liu Guanshi didn't dare to look at her for a second. Her collarbone was faintly visible under the gauze, her long hair was loosely draped, and she had a butterfly-shaped guard hanging around her waist, which made a ringing sound when she walked.
When her eyes fell on Su Cheng's face, the girl's expression changed immediately. She looked her up and down and said in a bad tone, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you in your house?"
She was followed by two maids, who also looked at Su Cheng with contempt when they saw him.
Su Cheng frowned slightly, his eyes falling on her face covered with a thick layer of powder. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by her.
"Could it be the young master's new lover?" The girl's eyes widened, her face livid. "She doesn't look that great either, with a seductive look. No wonder she can seduce men."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Su Cheng's eyes, but before she could speak, the maid from the Shangshu Mansion started scolding her first.
"How dare you! New here, do you even know the rules? Why don't you show respect when you see Concubine Hua?"
"Aunt Hua?" Su Cheng raised his eyebrows. "Zhou Qi's woman?"
Hua Rong saw the disdain in her eyes and immediately became angry. "How dare you! Who do you think you are? How dare you call me by my name? You are so lawless! Xing'er and Lian'er, slap her hard in the face!"
After saying that, the two maids did not hesitate and walked towards Su Cheng with their hands raised.
Hua Rong showed disdain, one hand on his waist, and leaned to one side, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have gained face and entered the Shangshu Mansion!"
The two maids had already arrived in front of him. Su Cheng did not hesitate to turn sideways and draw out the sword hanging on Zhao Hu's waist, and held it horizontally in front of the maids, causing a scream.
"You—" Hua Rong had never seen such a scene before, and his face turned pale with fear. "You...what are you going to do? This is the Shangshu Mansion! How can you just draw your sword so recklessly..."
"Arrogant and rude, is this how guests are treated in the Shangshu Mansion?" Su Cheng raised his chin, the tip of his sword pointed directly at Hua Rong's heart, "Fool, next time before you start a fight, remember to wait for the other party to introduce themselves, so as not to offend someone you can't afford to offend."
Hua Rong shrank her neck with a look of panic. The cold light of the sword reflected in her eyes, frightening her so much that her whole body stiffened and she dared not even breathe.
Su Cheng lowered her eyes, anger still on her pretty face, "If you want to save your life, take me to see Zhou Qi immediately."
Hua Rong didn't dare to say no, and nodded hurriedly, "Young Master should be... in Wanhuafang at this time... I'll take you there..."
Su Cheng put down his hand, but did not put away his sword. A very light smile hung on the corner of his lips, "Lead the way."
Zhao Hu stopped her, lowered his voice, and asked in a deep voice, "Ah Cheng, we just got turned down by that old bastard, why are we going to that little bastard again?"
"Of course, I'm going to get my revenge." Su Cheng glanced at him sideways, smiling as he spoke, "So you can have a good sleep."
Zhao Hu scratched his head in confusion, but Manager Liu laughed first, changing his usual wooden expression. "Master, the young lady is trying to vent the anger of our Zhao family."
"You two have a tacit understanding." Zhao Hu glanced at the two of them, shook his head and laughed.
After the Zhao family left, the servant from the Shangshu Mansion hurried back to report, "Master! Master, something bad has happened! Miss Zhao is holding a sword and holding Concubine Hua hostage, heading towards Wanhuafang!"
"What!"
Zhou Yue accidentally broke the new cups and plates he had just replaced. He stood up in a hurry and waved his hands repeatedly, "Quick! Prepare the carriage!"
-
Wanhuafang
"The young master is... right here."
Several people went up to the second floor, and Hua Rong stood at the door of the private room, trembling uncontrollably.
The group rushed up to the second floor in a threatening manner, which had already attracted the attention of others. The maid guarding the brothel went to ask Zhang Yuemei to go first, but when the latter learned that it was Su Cheng who came to cause trouble, she waved her hand and let her go.
There were quite a few people standing around the stairs. Some of them didn't get the best seats to watch the show, and some even stood on the small tables and struggled to look up at the second floor.
"Who's causing trouble?"
"The leader is a girl, she doesn't look very old."
"No need to guess blindly, this must be another newly married young lady coming to the brothel to catch a man. Isn't this kind of thing rare?"
Everyone looked at each other and directly defined Su Cheng as a jealous little woman.
Su Cheng suddenly smiled, a very faint smile, and under everyone's eyes, he suddenly kicked open the door of the private room.
Everyone in the room was startled and looked outside the door in confusion.
Su Cheng lowered his eyes, and his cold gaze swept over the several noblemen who were having fun, and finally stopped at Zhou Qi, who was drunk but still hugged women left and right.
There was still one sober person among them. When he saw the long sword in Su Cheng's hand, his drunkenness instantly dissipated. He stammered and asked, "You... who are you? Why did you break into our room?"
Su Cheng gently wiped the sword with his sleeve, slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on Zhou Qi, "This is none of your business. If you know what's good for you, just get out of here."
